A Story of "Western lilfc. From the San Francisco Bulletin. [ CONTINUEP. ] II. TltOUBLE rOUMAK. Tlio nine days' wonder that Knn'a ap pearance in Controville created died away m the excitement of now and more atir- rfng events. There was little lack of such in a lively mining camp in the early ' 50s , and soon , save for the occasional Bight of her aweet face in their midst , the episode of the romantic marriage would have been entirely forgotten. She wa.a a favorite in the little place with every one , and many ungget of unu&iml sightliness waa laid nwny by eomo sunburnt minor for Jitn'a wife "The awoeteat nnd prettiest girl in California , bless her ! " And Jim himself aeemod to have awakened to a leuso of nobler and better things , and had abandoned much of hia former wild and reckless habits. Ho worked steadily , too , and on the whole Nan's lifo for those first few months was ono of sunshine. Still she iad hoard enough from chance words dropped hero and there to give her an idea what Jim's career had been before her arrival in Controvillo.altheugh a certain kindly fear of giving pain had prevented her from hearing the worst , and the name of Yuba Kate had never reached her ears. But alas for Nan 1 It was not long be fore Jim drifted slowly back to hi ) old ways , and with every day now lines of euro showed themselves on her young face , and the bloom plainly faded from her cheek. She never coinpUinod , but came among them every now and then and always with her quiet gentle ainilo , and the boldest there had not the courage to speak to hnr of Jim's waywardness , although her white face and tcatful eyes told that her heart was breaking. And BO the months sped along to the early winter. One night as Nan sat watching the Hugo logs blaze in the wide fireplace a sudden fooling of dread and loneliness came over her that would not bo baniahod at her bidding. At last aho could stand it no longer , and thinking in a terrified wuy thnt she must find Jim , started up from the fire and throwing a shawl about her , aho opened the cabin door and went forth into the darkness in search for him. A quick walk over the criap snow led her to the door of Golden Nuggott , Jim's usual rendezvous , and , hesitating but n moment , she raised the latch and walked in. To her dying day aho never forgot the sight. Men were standing about in groups , talking excitedly , a dozen small fights wore going on in different parts of the room , glasses were clinking at the bar and the air was redolent with tobacco smoke nnd choice profanity. In ono corner , with hia hands securely Bound behind him , stood a tall , brutal-looking man , with an air of sullen defiance ; aev- cral men with aix-ahootors 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 nn animated game of draw-poker , waa pro gressing ; among the players waa Jim. Hardened , indeed , wore tno men who could thus coolly pursue their game of hazard while the bleeding victim of the lawless mob lay at their foot. For as Nan pushed forward the crowd in front of her parted , as aho beheld n 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 onu of its lifeless hands clasped in her own , knelt u woman ; she was weeping bitterly , and begging him , between her sobs , to speak to her. But lie was quite dead. " Taint no use , Nell , " said ono of the men , pulling her aside roughly , "the man's dead , and nil your howlin' and scrdoqhin' ain't n goin * to bring him back te lifo. " The unfortunate woman rose with n shriek ot such extreme and utter desola tion that oven those rough hearts were moved. Q "Phew ! Noll's ' cutting up rough about Jack'a death , " said Jim Wurnor , rising partly from his chair to vratclt her. Aa ho did so , ho saw Nan beyond her with a look of tenor on her faco. With ono bound ho was at her aide. "My God , Nannie , this is no place for you 1" ho cried. It was then that aho broke down completely. " 0 , como homo with mo , Jim , come home , " Blio sobbed , and without onu glance backward , ho put hia arm about her and led her from place. For days after that aho was norvoui and frightened and ill , Jim , really alarmed about her , worked in sight of the cabin , and for thia while hia usual haunts saw him not. But hia waa the soul of the gambler , nnd ho could not free himself from the riveted chains which bound him. And yet ho loved her. His passion .for her was the supreme ono of hia life , and the lave ho bore her no man of his nature over knows twice , Ho would have died for her any day were the matter of dying nil ; as it was , ho had not the strength to live for her alone. The time waa now within a few weeks of the Oluistmas holidays. Clear and cold the silver sickle of a moon looked down upon the snowbound earth and the tall linos'rising like giant ghosts In their white Irapcrica. "You're not going out to-night nro you , im ? " Nan asked aa aho stepped to the loor. "I'll bo minute NannicF " only gone n , , 10 answered , evasively nnd with something iko supplication in hia voice ; and not waiting fer any further expression of opinion ho wont out. Nan listened until the sound of hit notstopa was lost in the soft snow and hen Bank with a moan into her chair. She would Trait for him , aho told herself , triving to dismiss the dismal fancies which pressed upon her ; and soinowliat ired from the day's work , lulled by the eng of the wind about the roof and the ncnotonous crackling of the wood Tire , ho fell asleep like a tired child.Vhoh ho nwoko the bright blaze had turned o ashes on the hearth , the clocks was triking the midnight hour , and Jim was lot there. Oh ! the agony of that moment md the trial of the bitter hours of wait- ng that followed. Listening , listening or the never-coming footstep ; looking , ooking with strained eyesight over the now to BOO if ho was there. She could tot sloop ; aho did not mind the coal , al- hough it was intense. In the watches if that weary night faith died within tor , and in her dumb anguish her ips refused to pray. And so she Bat until he rising of the choorleea December aun , mil with the sunlight Jim came , lie ruflhod in excitedly ; ho no sooner saw her sitting there by the window than 10 began to , toll her how rich they wore , 10 showered the gold his ill-gotten gains upon her. She should bo the first lady n tlio land ; aho nhould wear diamonds ; hey would go back io their old home , she was his own little Nannie , and hey were rich at lunt ! For luck at'foro md smilnd on him and ho had broken the bank. * She rote up then and stood before him with biasing eyes. "Keep your gold rour stolen gold ! I would not touch it if L were starving. I hntp it and you ! " then with a Budduti revulsion of fueling the angry light faded from her eyes and nurniuring brokenly : " 0 , Jim , how could you how could * you ? " aho aonk tt his feet in merciful oblivion of all about lor. lor.He He caught her in his arms ; ho laid her apon the poor bed ; ho chafed her cold iands ; lie bogged _ her by everything sacred to speak to him , to aayaho forgave ! iim. But the deathlike swoon did not ld , nnd ho thought that ho had killed tier. And when after many moments they seemed ages to him she turned to consciousness , Jim's tears were on her face , liis frantic kisses on her linn , and lie waa tolling her that ho had killed her , but ho loved her bettor than the whole world.
