Thompson, who seemed to feel aggriev-
ed en the subjeat, announced. his inten-
tion ,of going up to Chihuahua to fetch
him down. He left Mr. McNab's on
his charitable mission armed with a
bottle -of rum, and proceeded up the
creek in a moderate state of iuteelea-
tion. That he wam somewhat sobered
on his arrival at the cabin was perhaps
due to the fact that the cork was fixed
very firmly in the neck of his' bottle e
at any rate, he did not ask his friend to -
drink when he found him.
-Gentleman Dick had, just directed
and sealed a letter, 'and.' was about to
start for the settlement of Gold. Dirt,
when -Thompson loemed up unsteadily
in the doorway, surveyed him inquir-
ingly for a- moment, and ;asked undo-
cidedly and apologetically, "- Wass' up?
Were you goin' ?"
Gentleman Dick, apparently over-
looking his somendiat dubious. condi-
them, and. the discovery of a surgeon. to
dress his wound was hailed with a
somewhat general feeling of relief. Had
it not been for the fact that the sobri-
quet of Gentleman Dick was already
tionferred and accepted !universally as
his name, he certainly would not have
eseaped that of "Doctor," and as it
was. Mr. Woods, who was profuse as
well as profane in bus gratitude, insist-
eannpOn. so calling him. A dector, or
anything bearing even a resemblance
to a member of that sadly -represented
profession, was regarded with a certain
degree (Id reverence among a communi-
ty whose peculiar habits often gave rise
to pressing and immediate need 'of sur-
gical atsendance. Consequently, Gen-
tleman Dick rapidly attained an ele-
vated position in their regard, and be -
Mune a greet favorite with Old Platte's
party, although they dill looked doubt-
fully at his sleuder figure, and felt
44 kind o' bothered " by the air of gen-
tility and good breeding which hung time told him that he had been writing
around him in spite of the rough mi- a letter to some one evhci lived in the
flees gaeneents that he had chosen to
sem:Line. By the time they left Denver
his box," no course of medical treat-
ment was contemplated. Besides, was
he not himself a doctor ? and if he could
do nothing, *hat should. they be able to
effect? The argument was sufficiently
conclusive ; at least, Jones accepted. it
as such, and retired. in some confusion,
comforting himself by the perusal of
the label on his box of pills, which real-
ly seemed to justify the suggestion he
had made. Twice after this, on days
when. the "Warna sunshine tempted. hira
out of • doors, he, came down to the
claim, and sat by thewheeland watch-
ed. them working; but he,never did. any
more Work. He did. not tell them he
could not do it, or complain that he was
too weak;. it wastacitly understood
that his share of the season's labor was
over.
About the middle of November the
winter stepped. in in its sudden way, and.
Commenced to take possession of the
valley a the Blue, and by the first of
December the ice was so thick that the
partners reluctantly stopped work.
"Jones of Chihuahua "• had expressed

Thompson- would_ stay on the Blue for
the winter, and to that end had. laid in
such provisions as were deemed neces-
sary. The settlement below on the
Bar had been abandoned early in No-

Man besides themselves could be found
by its waters any nearer than the end
of the Great Canon of the Rio Colorado.
But they cared very little for that, and
looked forward_ to their voluntary hie

when Gentleman Diek, with a forced
cheeriness of inenner and with -wishes
for a pleasant winter in New Mexieo,
remarked, "Next spring the boys will
• give jou e, third of my share, Jones," he
stoutly and. earnestly repudiated the
implied idea, but with a confusion and
uncertainty of manner that indicated a
serious doubt in the soundness of his
own assertions.
Geutleman Dick released , the big
hand as belay in his blankets. and said
for the last time.
Good-bye, jones."

probably due to th.e bracing and. biting

and deliberately walked to the foot of

ed. him. When he arrived within a re-
spectable distance of the clergyman he
embeds and with a reverent bow step-,
ped to one side of the aisle, but
.neither said anything nor seemed at all
disconcerted at the idea of being mar-
ried alone.
. The- clergymen looked anxiously
around for the bride, who, he supposed
was yet to arrive, and. at length
remarked to the young man, in an un-
dertone :
" The yowls; lady, sir, is dilatory."
"Yes, sae" •
" Had. you not better defer the ceree
molly ?" -
" I think not."
"Do you suppose she i,vill be here
soon ?"
" sir," said. the young man ;
"how should 1 know of the lady's move-
ments?"
A few moments were allowed to
elapse in this unpleasant state of ex-
pectancy, when the clergyman renewed
his interrogatories. ,
Didthe lady promise to attend at
the present hour?"
" " What lady ?''.
, Why, the lady, to be sure, that you
are -,eaiting here for."
" I did. not hear her say auy-
thing about it," was the unsatisfactory
response;
" Then, sir, may I ask you why you ;
are here, and for -what purpose yon
thus trifle inthe sanctuary of the Most
High?" said the somewhat- enraged
clerical.
." I came, sir, simply because you in--

The benediction was tittered in a
solemnity of tone yerv little in accord- -
:ince with the twitching of the facial:
nerves, and. when, after the church
was -closed, the story got among the
congregatiou, mere than one girl regret-
ted. that the you'll; man who really wish-
ed to be united ine the holy bonds of
matrimony hai been obliged to depart
