Morrissey swung one booted foot to and fro and patted his pipe bowl reflectively. The firelight cast fantastic shapes about—vast, grotesque forms which seemed to dance back and forth in the shadows of the towering pines like palpable presences. Nick felt friendly and communicative. It was rarely a guest spent the night on Sawtooth. He felt a vearning to- ward even the old light-hearted Irish trapper. The last three years in the wilderness had left him with a keen appetite for human compan- fonship. And only the girl and him- self lived on Sawtooth. “'Tig no place for a woman,” rissey objected. “Haven't I told her so, Andy, over and over, and got turned down for my trouble?” “Eh, lad; Mor- there's a way in the telling of it. Are you fond of her?” Nick burned some of the fish | his LAND, FLA, JULY 26, 1912 mile and the roar of Another ; ! flames came to them on the night wind. Tle air was heavy with the fragrant suffocating smoke of burn- ing pine and spruce. Great rolling clouds of gray moved slowly over Sawtooth's breast. Somewhere down in the heart of the pine forest was Lou’s little shack. “You'll never make it, lad,” shout- J Ahead of them great ~s of fallen timber blocked the The air was full of burning lcaves and stray wind-blown branch- ¢s. The horses had begun to fail. Neck, ears and jaws were dripping white foam. Nick balted, des- perate and excited. “I must get through it to her.” “{,ait a bit,” cautioned the old tr-yyer, “There used to be the old tr: il through the gulch. No man's cyes but me own and the Indians luve looked at it. Do you mind? Lut tonight I'l ride you down it, and we'll get the girl. Hold back. I'll lead now.” Never once on that terrible ride ¢'1 Nick question. Unerringly Andy Morrigssey led the way over the old truil ) the secret heart of Saw- tcoth's wilderness. When they came to the rocky edge of the vast gul®h they left the ponies behind, fastened to trec=, out of the danger zone. At a log bridge Nick stopped short, mountain trained eye measuring its strength, but Andy strode ahead. There came a sickening crash, and the great lumbering form went down into the gorge. Over and over Nick shouted his name. There was no response, and recklessly, heedlessly. “Am I? Say, does a fellow live up here in this forsaken hole in the hills for three years, then suddenly meet a girl like Lou Varney, and not get all the symptoms? I'd drop over the edge of Sawtooth gulch for her.” “But have you told her so?” Mor- rissey’s huge shoulders shook with silent enjoyment. “The sex cannot read your mind.” “Seven hundred times. She says we're a couple of hard-up claimers, with hardly grub stakes between us, and she’s too busy to get marri “A lad with your muscle and a hundred and fifty acres on Sawtooth can win the grubstakes. Look at an old trapper tramp llke meself. I'm thinking you've been too easy going with her.” “You don't know, Andy. my best. I've done 1 knew how it was going The Trai!

Suddenly he heard a call, and saw Lou, her hair blowing in the wind, ler pony trailing after her, coming down the old trail. “You?' she cried. “Nick, Nick, why did you come after me? There isn't one chance in the world of getting out safely unless the wind should change.” “We'll go together, then,” Nick said grimly as he took her close in his arms without resistance. “You at | store for our service is { DOCHIOOO0 © 0060606660884 8L B0 14 o 10 Always In The Lead That's What We Phone Aim To Be Your Order Always in the lead, when Don't try your temper o patience, simply g, 0 your telephons gny .. 62, and you will v, . nected with oyr Special Order Departmen: ty,.. €Yer your particular ga. #ire may be, well .y, care of ft With waripy. | tory goods ang ugu_ , tory service. it comes to fresh, pure, full-strength drugs, tol- let articles, sundries, and all drug store merchan- dise.

Leaning over the edge of the trall Lou could see him face up- turned. “And I'm not dead yet, Nick, led,” he called feebly., “Me leg's hurting me, and me shoulder's gplintered, but I've found me way down Sawtooth | after ten years, and I've found me lost trail agai He patted the | ledge of rock beside him. “Lift me down from this tree, and I'll show | you where the gold grows in nests | like birds’ eggs.” | Nick climbed down and helped him ! back, little the worse for his fall. | And he told them Sawtooth’s secret. | Ten years before, while hunting up ! through the gulch, he had stumbled on the gold, first in a few scattered pockets, then in broad, rich veins, | “And I told no one, because I wanted to keep it—not to sell, but to isteal down and look at now and | {then.
