"You have a funny, serious, wondering look I like," she explained. "Of tracing something that keeps drifting away. Lock's been passing you, too, so I've decided to give you a break—if'yoe want it. Do you?" she murmured, with p melting fall in her voice that drained his blood. Her lips hovered close to his; her hair almost brushed his face with a tingling lure that took his breath: - Appalled at what he had almost done, he held her crushed finger's be- tween his hands till he could win back some degree of sense. "I think it would be safer," he pleaded, "to be unlucky." Site looked at hen with an oddly shadowed, reflective smile, as if the scruple intrigued her, or lie had brushed some chord of. memory. "Suppose I were to offer you and your partner an outfit, a job and d big stake in the Yukon, would you trust your luck?" "Whether I would or not," he said, "my partner wouldn't." • "ire doesn't know what the stake is,": Rose countered. "You're going North to look for gold. I •can put it in your way in one throw.

Two game rifles and rods, however, showed that he hoped .for some diversion ,by the way. At last a ring of axes, pans and voices floated up from a mountain hollow through the rain. The trail dipped down toward a camp, which was pleasantly announced by the ar- oma of 'coffee and of wet pine burn- ing. Tethering the horses- under some dripping boughs, where the needles spread a earp.et free from, mud, Speed unmade the packs. "Belly up. to the bar for some close harmony, cow hands," he sang out cheerily. "We've hit the camp of Liarsville." Garnet stood 'bowed under his load and asked in a spent voice how far they had come. Speed swallowed his chuckles. The distance was said to be five miles. "Maybe," he added as an encourage- ment, "they call it `Liarsville' in memory of whoever said it was five miles?

Which is the bore of the guns that start talkin' when you ram- ble into Fallon's private game, and make it three -handed." Maitland wakened shivering in the half-darkness. The gulf was smudg- ed in a fine rain that steamed dis- mally over the riffled sands left bare by the ebb tide. Speed's blankets were rolled up, and a pile of drift- wood lay ready for then breakfast fire. Annoyed at himself, for having slept while his partner was hunting a job, Ed. washed in a tide pool, and went up to look for him. He learned that Steiner had offered to sell Garnet his pintos. Garnet promptly closed with him at the price of four hundred dollars for the team, and engaged the two partners to haul for hint at the wages Speed had first named. This swift adjustment had all the effect of a miracle to Maitland, brit the Westerner accepted it as a simple caprice of the goddess olio presides over mining camps. N'or was Steiner visibly troubled by the change in els plans. •- "Gold is where you find it, ain't it? If they put it in my hands. I don't need a shovel, do I? Let the saps dig for 11." "Reckon that isn't so foolish neith- er," Speed concurred. The pack train had been tugging, cursing; halting . and sliding for hours in a disjointed- snake -line up An upward glow from the fire lighted a woman's face. Garnet was in his blankets when they returned. "I'nm going to sleep till noon, boys," he kaid, next morn- ing. "If you feel so energetic,"have a look at the trail above here. I've been hearing some bad rumors about it," " His misgivings did not weigh on their minds at first. They set out on this excursion in the light-hearted mood conferred by a scrubbing, a shave, a good 'breakfast and morning sunlight. Avoiding the camp; they .crossed a river 'bridge, and ,from there, by a steep and broken track which the pack animals of earlier comers had scarred out, climbed into some moun- tain.ravines that began to reek with a mephitic odor' of death.' The sham- bles became more ghastly as they climbed. In the clips of the so-called "trail," a series of quagmires had been en- larged to small mud lakes by the wear of successive hooves around the rim. The swollen carcasses of dead horses in muskegs and sloughs. On sheer mountain sides the trail dwind- led in places to a cattle track, and -its hazards to burdened horses and men were grimly proved by the relies that lay in the canyon troughs. Some travelers who appeared to have lost their horses, were strug- gling. to , hand -haul _ their packs through a wallow not more than a utile above Liarsville. ' It was all the progress they•had been able to matte since m.or iingt Others, incredibly plastered with mud, and bearing the wan stamp of defeat in their faces, were backtracking toward camp. These were trail veterans who took. ordinary 'hardship with a smile. Plainly, one look at it would be enough for Garnet. As they stood considering the die - mai prospect, they were joined by a man whom they recognized through 'disguising mud smears ass the old- time prospector, Brent. "Pretty, ain't it," Brent comment- ed, spitting tobacco juice into the slough, - "It would look a heap better," said. Speed, thoughtfully, "if the camp got together and graded a trail.. A few clays' work would corduroy these muskegs."- - "Just what I told ,ens", Brent nod-' ded. "Whole against it?" "Fallon's •outfit.
