Ouly idle curiosity moved theni,for none ex- peeted friends or letters,as few cane in those early days. The stage finally swung into sight and stopped squarely ill front of the King's House. A woman stepped down, and a baby giri of perhaps tithe years was hauded to her. 'iro,n beneath the soft wrappings a pale, dalicateiy featured face vas visible to the lounging miners, and a pair of great blue eyes looked wistfully from: one.beardecl face to another.

A dark form dangled in the shadows: They were too late. It was an easy matter to obtain per- mission to take down the body, as it saved the expeuse of burial by the Spring Ledge people. tSo,after resting their horses, they carried it back with them to Bison making; a circuitous route around the hotel and laying the body nn the bed in ou of the shanties.
