There was little lack of such in a lively mining camp in the early '50s, and soon, save for the occasional sight of her sweet face in their midst, the episode of the romantic marriage would have been entirely forgotten. She was a favorite in the little place with every one, and many & ungget of unusual sightliness was laid away by some sunburnt miner for Jim's wife—‘The sweetest and prettiest girl in California, bless her!” And Jim himsell seemed to have awakened to s sense of nobler and better things, and had abandoned much of his former wild and reckless habits. He worked steadily, too, and on the whole Nan's life for those first fow months was one of sunshine. Still sheshad heard enough from chance words dropped hero and there to give | o hor an ides what Jim's career had been before her arrivalin Centroville, nlthongh a certain kindly fear of giving pain had prevented her from hearing the worst, and the name of Yuba Kate had never reached her eavs. But alas for Nan! It was not long be- fore Jim drifted slowly back to his old ways, and with every day new lines of care showed themselves on her young face, and the bloom plainly faded from her cheek. She never complained, but came among them every now and then and always with her quiet gentle smile, and the boldest there had not the courage to speak to her of Jim's waywardness, although her white face and tearful eyes told that her heart was breaking. And s0 the months eped along to the early winter, One night as Nan sat watching the huge logs blaze in the wide fireplace a sudden feeling of dread and loneliness came over her that would not be banished at her Don’t Forget !

A quick walk over the crisp snow led her to the door of Golden Nuggett, Jim's usual rendezvous, and, hesitating but a moment, she raised the latch and walked in. To her dying day she never forgot the sight. Moen were standing about in groups, talking excitedly, a dozen small fights were going on in different parts of the room, glasses were clinking at the bar and the air was redolent with tobacco smoke and choice profanity. In one corner, with his hands securely Bound behind him, stood a tall, brutal-looking man, with an air of sullon defiance; sev- eral men with six-shooters were guarding him; the blood rushed down his face from an ugly cut over the eye—evidently made by a flying tumbler. At a table somewhat apart from the throng an animated game of draw-poker, was pro- gressing; among the players was Jim, Hardened, indeed, were tuo men who could thus coolly pursue their game of hazard while the bleeding victim of the lawless mob lay at their feet. Foras Nan pushed forward the crowd in front of her parted, as she beheld a form stretched on the floor with a ghastly wound in the temple, It was a young and boyish face that was turned up to the light, and beside the silent figure, with one of its lifoless hands clasped in her own, knelt a woman; she was weeping bitterly, and begging him, between her sobs, to speak to her. But he was quite dead. ¢ 'Taint no use, Nell,” said one of the men, pulling her aside roughly, “the man’s dead, and all your howlin’ and screechin’ ain't a goin’ to bring him back to life,” The unfortunate woman rose with a shriek ot such extreme and utter desola- tion that even those rough hearts were moved, ) “Phew! Nell's cutting up rough about Jack's death,” said Jim Warner, rising partly from his chair to watch her. As he did 80, he saw Nan beyond ler with a look of tertor on her face. With one bound he was at her side, ‘‘My God, Nannie, this is no place for ou!” he cried. It was then that she broke down completely. #0, come home with me, Jim, come home,” she sobbed, and without one glance backward, he puv his arm about her and led her from place. For days after that she was nervous and frightened and il!, Jim, really alarmed about her, worked in sight of the cabin, and for this while his usual haunts saw him not. But his was the soul of the need a HAY THEHDDHR, The N. C.

Nan listened until the sound of his footsteps was loat in the soft snow and then sank with a moan into her chair. She would wait for him, she told herself, striving to dismiss the dismal fancies which pressed upon her; and somewhat tired from the day’s work, lulled by the song of the wind about the roof and the menotonous crackling of the wood fire, sho fell asleep like a tired child. ~ When she awoke the bright blaze had turned to ashes on the hearth, the clocks was striking the midnight hour, and Jim was not there. Oh! the agony of that moment and the trial of the bitter hours of wait- ing that followed. Listening, listening for the never-coming footstep; looking, looking with strained eyesight over the snow to see if he was there. She could not sleep; she did not mind the coal, al- though it was intense. In the watches of that weary night faith died within her, and in her dumb anguish her lips refused to pray. And so she sat until the rising of the cheerlees December sun, and with the sunlight Jim came, He rushed in excitedly; he no sooner saw her sitting there by the window than he began to tell her how rich they were, he showered the gold—hisill-gotten gains —upon her. She should bo the first lady in the land; she should wear diamonds; they would go back to their old home, she was his own little Nannie, and they were rich at last! For luck at faro had smiled on him and he had brnknn the bank, She rose up tlwn and stood before him with blaging e “Koep your gold— your stolen gol ' "I would nof touch it if 1 wore starving, I hate it and you!” then with a sudden revulsion of feeling the angry lght faded from her eyes and murmuring brokenly: “0, Jim, how could you—how could” you?” she sank at his feet in merciful oblivion of all about her. He caught her in his arms; he laid her upon the poor bed; he chafed her ocold hands; he bsggud her by everything sacred to speak to him, to say she forgave him. But the deathlike swoon di ield, and he thought that he had killed er. And when after many moments— they seemed ages to him—she turned to consciousness, Jim's tears were on her face, his frantic kisses on her hr-. and he was telling her that he had killed her, but he loved her better than the whole world. ¥nmblsr. nd he could not free himself rom the riveted chains which bound him. And yet he loved her, His passion for her was the supreme one of his life, and the love he bore her no man of his nature ever knows twice. Ho would have died for her any day were the matter of dying all; a8 it was, he had not the strength to live for her alone, The time was now within a few weeks of the Chaistmas holidays.
