HOW GRIZZLY JIM STRUCK IT RICT Flora 1. Longhrat in Washington Star. Grizzly Jim sat outside his cabin smoking his after-dinner pipe. fogs had tarried Inte that day, and were only just lifting from the mountains, uncovering slopes and lovols of velvety green, torn by ragged fissures and seamed with jutting ledges. Tho smoke from his pipe curled upward through the boughs of the live-onk beneath which he sat; there was a subtle brightness and lightness in the atmosphere that gave promise of a sunshiny afternoon. Grizzly Jim was largo and gaunt. Under his beetling eyebrows his oyes seomed to smolder with a forbidding fire. Whether he had won the grim sobriquet by virtue of his vrowess in some long-forgotten encounter with the four-footed king of the Sierras or whother it had been bestowed upon him hecause of his uncouth appearance and churlish manner no one in the settle- ment below could say. The little cabin on the mountain side and its lonely dweller antedated their earliest mem- ory. There was a blitho snatch of song in the distar.ce, echoed by the steep crags around; n clatter of hoofs along the rocky trail; o smart little mustang dashed across the clearing and his vider sprang to the ground, while Grizzly Jim dropped Lis pipo in sullen amazement, “Good morning, sit,” s his visitor, with a friendly smile. The old miner stared at girl with o short riding skirt drawn over n cambric dress, the blouse waist of which was revealed in a bewildering profusion of fresh tucks and frills, while a piquant little face looked up at him unabashed, under a tangle soft brown hair and a bewitching sailor hat. He unfolded hislong legs and roso awlk- wardly, lifting his torn felt hat with savago courtosy. “You'll excuse meef I ain’t up to my society manners. 1'm not used to ro- ceiving calls from nobody, let aloue young ladies.” **My call is not from choice but from necessity,” returned the young lady with dignity. “I'm here on busines: I’m the census marshal of this distriet.”” “The Dickens you are!” retorted the miner, but he mentioned a gentleman of less repute in polite soc and whose name 18 better known to scripture than to literature. *And what do you reckon yowll get, out of me?” There was something in his speech, corrupted as it was by the vernacular of the mountains,that suggested the south. The girl’s quick eav recognized the fa- miliar not She was to some extent fortified against his grufiness, for she had heard of him as the terror of census enumerators, the despair of the tax ns- sessors, the one man ia all the mountain district who desired no locai improve- ments, no advance of civilization, no contact with the world or his fellow men, and who had for more than forty years remained a mystery toall the communit “You have slready told me whero you are from,” she rajoincd pleasantly. “You are o southern man: but I expect you also to tell me your name and oceu- pation, where you were born, and whether you are married or single, and all the other troublesome little details that the nutionul government insists upon leatning from each lo, She ool a hook irom a pocket in her saddle flap and advanced upon him,pen- cil in hand, while she was speaking, but herheart quaked at her own boldness. Something in her blythe young face arrested» the man’s surly refusal. He teied different tactics. “Tako a seat. You must be very tired. It's arough vide up the trail.” He offered her his only chair, seating himself on o stump. The girl accepted the courtesy, but started as her hand came in contact with a breech-loading rifle that leaned agoinst the chair. With & queer glint in his eye, that was not unlike a fantastic gleam of hu- mor, Grizzly Jim took the Winchester and ostensihly withdrew the charges, then pulled an ugly looking knife from his velt and laid rifle and knife on the rude table that stood between them, as the savage ceremonious!y lnys down his arms before entering upon a parley with his foe. But there was limit to his hospitality, and he was not slow to an- nounee 1t, STl be hanged ef I'11 private afiairs to every man, woman or child that asks. What's it to you, any- way?” “It’s exactiy twenty-five conts,” re- turned the gicl frankly. **That is what they allow in the thinly settled moun- tain district. You wouldn’t ba worth so much if you wore down in tho valley. Jesides, you see, 1 teach tho school in the village, and the state allowance— pretty much my whole salary—depends upon the number of children we can muster in the distriet,” **There’s no children here, a8 you can seo,” veturned her host with grim choer and the air of one who has found an easy solution for a vexed problem. **And as for the two bits”—he thrusted his hands into his trousers pocket and jingled some coins there while he eyed lor ton- tatively, **No, I think you’d better not,” said the girl simply. ~ “I earu my wages by faithful seevice to the government. [ don’t take bribes for noglecting my duty, I've comeup here to got this blank filled out, and [ wongsloave till 1 have your unswers. No/hot even if you reloaded the Winchester.” And sho wound up with a little hysterical laugh. A sturdy sense of honor, long slum- bering in disuse, awoke in the miner’s breast us ho saw the nngry flash in the eyes of his young visitor. But he would make no concession, *T won’tdo it,” he said stubbornly. Their eyes mot—hers young, bright, shining with righteous purpose; his deepset, iines of age about them, dog- ged resistance in them. They met and lashed, held each other long and stead- ily. The mwan was the first to shrink, He threw up his hand with a gesture of surrender. *Don’t! You look--yon look like one 1 lost for ty years gone by." There was silence between them, Ho swung himsell about and pulled his hat over his oyes, so- that only a fringe of fron-gray Deard waus visible nbeve his shoulders The girl looked at him curi- ously and not without somo feeling, Al her fear of him was gone and a vague compussion stirred in her heart. She was almost sorry that she had under- taken her daring errand, half disposed to slip quictly away, mount her horse aud be off down the mountain trail be- fore he had aroused from his rever Yet a singular spell--waus it sympathy or curlosity, or that strange impulse that causes one to linger und dwell upou the sight of suffering which they may not relievo?—-kept her motionless, her Dbook still open, her peneil still in her hand.

Maybe you can seo clenrer than au old man.” %h looked at her with some appre- Perhaps his confidence was TTow could he tell but what ighod hiwm The THE down might be a mere jest to her, to be recounted for the entertainment of frive olous young companions. Her grave exprossion renssurea him, “It begins like most of the stories of mon of my age in California,” he sald, and it wasnoticeablo that as he reverted to the past he dropped the corruptions of the time and place and expressed himself in purer English, although h specch was still characterizea by 1 soft southern drawl, and now and then he made use of a phrase or word that is only learned south of Mason and Dixon’s line. “Icaught the gold fover of 1849, 1 had a wife and child and a comfortable proporty Against the advieo of all my friords, in spite of my wife's gontlc entreaties, [ old ofl everything I had in the world and, leaving a small sum with her, started overland for fornin.

Before I knew it the months and years-had piled up, and writing home was forever out of the question, unless some splendid stroke of luck favored me.” He arose and began to walk up and down in a straight line under the oaks The census marshal observed that ther a hardbeaten path there. She woun- dered how often his feet had paced it. “In 55 I came here,” he said, stop ping to reach his hand to-a great bure on one of the ouk boles, on a level with his shomlder, and to rest it there. You've heard the yarns tt tell yet about the gold that was taken out of this creek in those days. I staked out my claim along with the first on the spot. It was the same old story. On all sides of me other men took out quan- tities of dust. T'nere was no more gold inside my lines than you could find on a church floor. I'd had enough of chasing luck up the rivers and over the moun- tains ana having it slip up behind meo unawares whenever I moved on. [ lowed I'd camp dowa here and wait for it to come to me. ['ve toiled steady from morning tonight, every day T could lift my hand, sometimes at the old lacers, more often prospecting the ledges in the mountains above. I've made some promising ‘finds’ and I pan out a littte dust all the while, but often- times I haven’t enough to pay for hay- ing my drills pointed and 1 have to quit work and take my gun and go over the range for venison or bear meat, But it can’t last forever. Last week I found some rich ‘float’ in the creek bed. 1'm on the track of that leage now. “And have you never written home?” *What could I write? I don’t dure thinl about them, Some day I'll strike it rich and then ['1l go back.” The census marshal could make no comment, In her heart she was im- pr A by the singleness of mind with which the old miner haa persevered in bis hunt afte: cious metal, and his faith that he was bound to**strike it rich" some day struck her as glmost pathetie He secmed wholly oblivious of the fact that there were other ways of obtaining gold thav did not call for pick or siuice. During all his lonely years of toil it did not appear to have occurred to him that the same energy, expended in any legit- imate wage carning industry, might eusily huve carried him to his goal and enabled bim to make a Lome and send for the wife and child to whom he had been s0 loyal in purpose, but had so miserably failed in deed. “Now you know why I don’t want my name 1o go down in your book.

The census marshal slipped her horse and examined her girths, for lier business thore was ished and the steep trail w descent. The miner wrote slowly and awlkwardiy, closely scrutinizing the fino | print at the head of each column before he made the entry beneath. When he had finished he roturned the book and pencil to the maishal with grave courtesy. She could not resist a feeling of absurd solemnity ns she received it.

The old man pressed his hands to his temples, while he made an effort to spn seruel gap of year “Miriam-—m am’s child! His smoldering oyes devouccd her with the hunger of a starving soul. Her cold unbelief was heyond his power to combat. That which bad been his strength became his weakness. The seeret so closely guarded for nearly half a contury unmanned him when it was laid bare.

The tiny almond orchard in the rear was in bloom, and the pink petals flut- tered down and drifted over the ground. Two women walked slowly back and “forth along the narrow path, bordered with sweet-scented carnations, that led from the house to the gate, Ore was plump and matronly, the other old and slight and feail, leaning heavily upon the younger woman, “IVs pust time for her tocome. It 10t right, Miriam, tolet that child race about the couniry alone. There’s no telling what may happen to her.” “Don’t worry, mother. ['d trust her anywhere. Every one respects hor,” roturned the woman, with a mother’s proud confidence, “I know I'mold-fashioned in my ideas, Miriam, but I can’t foel easy. A young girl like that oughtn’t to go around the country doing u man’s work. If her father only hadn't gone to the bad or her grandfather had lived—" Always the same unavailing strife against the inevitable. The daughter put her arms around her waist. “‘Lefus go in.

The twilight was kind to Grizzly Jim. 1t smoothed out the wrinkleson his face, dyed hair und beard, mendea his tat téred clothing and brought out the mas- vo strength of his great frame, pre- senting him as he really was—a hana- some, stalwart man, still in the vigor of his prime. The slight woman on Miriam’s arm peered wistfully at him, then she trembled and swayed. Ho spoke one word and a glad cry quavered on the night silence. The old miner forgot his poverty and rags.
