Suddenly he uttered an exclamation, and. moving a few yards picked up from a tuft of mime grass e bright, shining object. It was a gold chain about three feet in length, and made ot YOU small and line links; attached to it was a locket et thr same metal. Metcalfe recognized it Immediately. Scores of times he had noticed it at•ound his partner's neck; partly re- reeled by the turned -back collar of his flannel shirt. A keepsake, a memento ef some kind; and Nletealfe, who was not aficed with the vice of curiosity, had never inquired of Ids churn tore veining it. It eves no business of his. Nletculfe turned the locket .ateently between his fingers; by accident he pressed the spring and the case flew even. Within was the colored minis- hue of a very pretty girl, .so pretty that an exclamation of involuntary admire- lien escaped him. A sorrowful smile brake across his bearded face. No evondee Ms chum Lad been so insistent upon the superior charms of blue-eyed women. for the eyes of the girl in the portrait were of the loveliest turquoise blue. For a long erne Metcalfe looked at the miniature. "Th' girl he loves, I guess," he said seftly at length. "05(1!But she's pretty, an' as good as she's pretty, I'll swear.

His words and the sneer in his voice were hard to bear; no other man had ever spoken so to Joe Metcalfe, and the devil that sleeps in every man's heart wan rousing itself.

This Condi- tion of the aterweephere continued for the remainder of the day, and tempers became of a brittleness that spelt thou- ble.

Much .0 the en- loon fittings suffered, the bar tender test a bit :team the top of his left erne and Tom liancoce, a new arrival, was not expected to recover. The responstbility of the weather as an agent for the unloosing of original she is the fact that is imperfectly am predated by those who are fortunate enough to dwell in temperate regions; but it is thoroughly well understood ey those who are, or have been., atilirted by the extreme vagaries of climate. Under some atmospheric conditions so trivial an insinuation that a man is talking too much or too little, too loudly or too low, becomes a deadly insult. The joint owners of the Palienee Re- warded claim were not good customers of elexiean Joe, and, the evening meal eter, they were seated, pipe in mouth. within their own shanty. They, 01 common with the rest ef Three Peaks, were suffering from the effects of the sandstorm. Metealte, precariously perched on ,a tilted empty box, with his broad shoot. dere resting ag,ainst the wall, tvris watching his partner, his head resting en one hand, was seated against the reugh table, obviously seeing pictures in the curling smoke wreaths that drift- ed upwards from his pipe. The pictures he could see must have been of absorb- Ing interest, for three times a remark had been loudly addreesed to him by Ma chum which he had not heard.

"Same eyes, Joe," he answered; "but yeu're wrong; they're blue, not grey.' afetcalfe grunted reed shook his head. "Sorry to hear ft," he said shortly. Ralph Wilson looked up quickly. "Seery to hear what?he inquired. "Sorry that it's blue eyes.' ' "Why, what Is to do with you?" Wel- sen appeared annoyed; and his question was aggressive in manner, if not in actual WOrding, "All right, sonny, don't lose your hair. I says grey eyes are the best.' "Nonsense. I tell you blue eyes. are the best and prettiest. A woman can't be beautiful unless she's got blue eyee. 13lue'e• the prettiest color there is." Wit- son spoke with extreme Warmth and an irritating cocksureness. "What d' you know about it?" he added rudely. 'Just because I ain't got a girl 1' dream about, it don't follow I don't know," Metcalfe retorted, "An' I tell you this: I'd feel real sorry for any chum o' mine who'd pinned his hopes. an' faith, en' life to a pair 0' blue eyes." "Oh! Why?" eellson sat up very straight and stiff. and there was decided anger in his veice and in his eyes. "P.ecause a blue-eyed woman ain't to le trusted." "What d' you mean by that?"

In these days of universal education, t seemed strange to hear from Mr. Lord hat he had never attended a day -school in Ills life. IIE TAucsIrr HIMSELF TO 11F,AD, and, gaining access through the Sunday - school to a library widened his know - edge as opportunity offered.

Reference having been made lo wages n those days, Mr. Lord renterked that ie a town like Northampton a man 0110 0113 earning LI a week WaS looked upon as a man of means, and quite a superior sort of person!
