feet when Mn awoke next morn-
The young Mall looked hammed
and weary, but Atte expression et his
eyes was fleree, and Ila seldiouslY wrote-
ed looking at Me Partner,
The tatter came towards him, his
hund exleaded. "Say Ralph," he be.

serinterrupted him,
"Hang yourself," lie said curtly; and,
leaving his unfinished hreahfast, he
snatched up pick and eheeet tied were
out to the claim.
'that day the two men worked as far
apart as they eould convenienuy gel,
end they worked 111 absolute silence,
Not a word v,•as spoken during the em
lire dee, and the evening meal was
prepared and eaten independently. Af-
temards \Nelson went out,
It was the sante during the next day;
not a WOrd was exchanged, the men
would net even look at one another,
Wilson was sulky and vicious; hi$ part-
ner angry and hurt that his friendly
overtures had been So rudely reputeed.
For four days they remained in tele
state. On the fifth Metealfe, going al-
tor.hreakfast to awry water to the Iwo
pentes that were picketed 1l[)011 a stretch
of grass some distance from the 5111111-
tee found but one 110117 awatitug his
attention. The ether, wilsires, was
missing. Nietealfe suddenly rem. ember-
(el that his partner's Wiechester, that
usually stood la the corner by its own-
eyes bunk, was not that morning in :Isng
place.
"Gone, an' good riddance." the man

For several minutes lee stood :n
thotig,hi, hie eyes wandering aimlessly
about him. 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. No wonder

an' untruthful. No wonder he got

"Four years she's been waitin' for

,,
mrtrait. "Well' aim ain3 gent' -
waste her life waltin' for happiness no
keiger if I can shove matters forrard
a bit. There's my share 0' th' dust in

So absorbed was he in the pictured
face he did not hear quick footsteps
behind him, nor was he aware that his
chum had returned'until a hand snatch-

and Ralph Veils:al, his voice hoarse
and thick with passion, •excleimed:
"You wretched thief, so this is Where

Metcalfe swung round and faced his
partner. "Say, old mane" he said eng,
erly, but a furious imprecation inter-
opted him,
"You'd steal it, would you? But I'll
make you pay for it."

"You're afraid, now your° found out,

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. But he checked the
we•rds that came involuntarily to his
lips,
"Old man. there ain't eo need foe

Under some atmospheric conditions
so trivial an insinuation that a man

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-

was aggressive in manner, if not in

"Oh! Why?"
