A clear sparkling stream, fr »m the snow above, ran ,which Langdon had erted from its regular course for gation purposes, A neat little cot- tage, large enough for John's wants, had been built there by the charcoal burner. Langdon wasnot satistied with his home. Hewasa buchelor, and though of a rough nature, had 'a.soft spotin his breast and longed to have some one share its beauties with him, Some distance from Langdon’s home lived a farmer named Ashton, whose family consisted of himself and an only daughter named Mary—a girl just grow- ing out of her teens, Langdon often mnoticed the Ashton girl when passing her father's house and at times he would halt at the farm and gossip with the old gentleman. 1In this way he got to know and like Max assed he grow much nd would often pieture in_his own mind what a pleasant life would be his could he only have Mary asa com- panion for life.

He longed tosee his wife and baby domiciled away from their mountain home, where she could have the society of her own sex and see and know some- thing of the outer world. Day after day he would ponder over this, trying to think out some plan by which ‘he and his family could be bene- fited in their condition in life. The more he thought the more he became convinced something must be done, even if at great hazard to himself. Among the many schemes thought over by Langdon was one to which he scarcely dare give a second’s thought, but it entered hismindin some unaccount- able way and inspite of his anxiety to forget it would constantly reoccur to him until at last he began to give it gerious thought, and before he fully reaized it, he became a criminal, in thought, at least, One day, coming home earlier than usual, he told his wife he had business lley that would detain him a Langdon packed up a few ssary things for the trip, took down a double-barreled shotgun, kissed his wife and baby good-bye, and started off down the mountain tra John Langdon neither returned to his wife and child in, nor was he ever heard of by any living person. x * * * his It was on a dark, gusty morning in the autumn of the year 1873 that a stage- conch was driven swiftly up to the door of Wells, Fargo & Co. The driver of the coach was Bill Anderson, an old-time Lnight of the reins, There were no passengers to go on the stage that night and as Anderson swung his whip into the leade and drove up to the express office door he gave forth a whoop which quickly brought out the express agent, “Blustering night, Bill,” remarked the agent; “you’ll have a tough ride of it down the grade, old boy." “Well, there have bec that T have driven the driver. “Come,” he continued, *hurry up with the mailbags and express maiter, as I want to be off as soon as possible, Have you got your packages in the box all right?! “Yesthebox is OK.
