THE OMAHA DAIU BEE : JANUARY 22,1877. Eight Pages. THE OMAHA BEE. THE PKICE OF DOHA'S GOLD ! BT 8. ANMk : i'BuBT. If you had half tbe ap'rit of a man , you would go too ! " : Poor John Baynor had heard thi ? so often in the last two weeks that at last , he was roused to answer. "See hero , Don. , " he said , pulling his wile down upon his knee , and holding her fast , "do you mean that ? You have said it about fifty timed since this expedition wan talked about , now tell me if you want me to go. " Dead silence on the part of Dora. "I have been working hard for five years to oiea > - off the * n < r'K gtj upon the an that I might have n home for you , " rnnt'iiued John , earnestly , "and it is mine novr , clear of debt. We are not rich , but I am strong and not ? .f aid of wort , and you have been brought up a farmer's daughter , and know the dutiesota farmir'n wife Sixmonthn ago you were happy aa a bird , my Lride and darling , but now" ' "Now " Dora ' I , interrupted , sej an opportunity for you to bee une rich in a few months instead of toiling and slaving for life , as your father and my lather toiled and slaved to make a bare living by farming. They ted us that gold can be nicked up at the Black Hills in pockettuls at a time. " "Well. " "And we could be rich. We could leave this miserable farni and go to the city to live in a great house , with servants , carriages fine furni ture. OJ , John I" 'i > era Had slipped from her perch upon her husband' * knee , and stood before him , her little fynro drawn erect , her bin blue eyes flaibing Her cheeks with excitement. "And it wou.d make me happy ? " asked John wistfully. "Yes ! Ol course it would ! Who would not be happy with plenty of money ? " "There are two sides to the ques tion. " said John , quietly. "The Indians have the right to keep us ofl this promising gold country , and they defend its passes. It may be jour bag of gold will be only John -Radnor's scalped head ! " "Oh , if you are afraid to go , that ends it ! " Dora said , quickly. It was a cruel speech , and it stab bed the honest , loving heart of John Ruyiior to the core. He was no coward , b it a strong , brave man , with a noble nature , but ho was fond of his home , of the farm he had worked no faithfully to clear of debt , and of the wife he bad loved for ilre long years. Only six mouths had passed cince his wedding day , when Dora seem ed entirely happy m his love , and in the ccsy nest he had taken an honait pride 111 winning for her. Then the young men of the vil lage of Topham became smitten with the gold lerer , and about a dor. n of them resolved to form an expedition to the Black Hills. Dora's brother , Tom Haven , waa th prims mover in the scheme , and coming every day to lay all hia dreams and plans before his bister , he hail inspired her with the same feverish thirst for nold that was driving him from home to brave the the toils and perils of the expedi tion. j-Jke many women brought up to work hard , to own but little finery , to live upon plain fare , Dora set'a fictitious ralue upon the delights ol wealth. 8he built gorgeous air- castles founded upon the few works of fiction she had read , and dreamed of an existence to which that of a princess in a fairy tale would have been dull and prosaic. And with her head full of these airy visions , it provoked her put all patience that that John was content to follow his plow , to eat green * and bazon , and wear coarse clothing , as ne had done all his life. He would listen to all Tom's glowmc de scriptions of the expedition with a grave , quiet face , sometimes speaking - ing a word of caution or warning that fell upon deaf ears. He would answer all her hints and taunts b ; a gentle : "I'm well content here , Dora , with my life-long home and my darling wife ! " But at last he was roused , not to any nope such as spurred the others on , but to the fact that Dora wished him to go. . "She thinks more of the gold than of me ! " he thought , rising heavily from the chair and speaking ilowly. "Since you wish it , Dora , I will go ! " he said , and even her enthusi asm was held in check a moment by Ins pale face. "Oh , I don't wish to drive you , " she said , pettishly ; "ir you are con tent to vegetate for life in this mis erable hole , I suppose I can put up with it. " "I will go ! " He spoice the three words with stern emphasis , and left ihe room. His heart seemed breaking. For five years he had had but one dream for the future. Father and mother lay in the churchyard , brothers or sisters he had none , and tbe entire love of nis heart was given to pretty Dora Haven. H ° was burdened with debts his father left for his Hole legacy , bis home was heavily mortgaged , and he would not ask Dora to share in tbe priva tion and toil by which he freed him. self. And when at last he could ask her to come and brighten the home he had made for her , it hbd teemed to him his cup of happiness brimmed over He noased fro.n the room where he had announced bin decision , and wandered slowly all over the house. It was small , but every portion waa lull of tender association to him. In one room his parents had died , In another was the cottage furniture he had sent all the way from "York" to get to please his bride. The parlor carpet and substantial horse hair set had cime at tbe same time , filling him pardonable pride at the prepa rations .or his marriage. These white curtains Dora had made in her fi-dt week of home life as his wife. Tnese autumn leaves they had gathered in their lover stro lj , and Dora had made them into wreaths and bunches to bring with her to adorn the walls of their new home. He was but a simple farmer , net yet twenty-five , with but a meagre education , and not given to dreamt or castle building. Tuoroughly content to live as hl father and grand-father had lired before him , he could not compre hend the viiions filling Dora'i Ima- giuatiou. He halt hopsd yet that she would uree him to give up his intention and remain at home , and yet he knew that her content with the humbio happineu he could give her was gone. But Dora , though frightened twenty times a day at the luoces * of her taunts , would not speak the words he hoped to hear Very rapidly the prepa-ationa were made to depart , for tne others were nearly ready , ana the little uest e-g ; ut the bank was all gun be fore John Rvynor was fully equip ped as a miner. The tirst realization of what she as giving up for a dream , came to Dora wnen she stood upon the p'.at- "orru of the riutic railway station , with Tom up m one eida and John on tiie other , the former full of ex ultation , with merry smile and bright eyes , the latter grave and < teru , with lowering brow and let lips "John , " the little wife whispered , "if you do not wish to go" ' It is too late for thai I" he said , harshly , and then hearing the ap- p-oaching traiu. his face softened , * nd he caught her in his arms. "Uod keep you , little wife , " he said , hoarsely , "I go forloveofyouj may come rjaoK ncn ana make you happy. JNo man will work harder tor gold thun I will , to bring It to you. Through a mist of tjars she SAW him follow tbe others into the cai * nd then joined the groups of weep- lux women who had come upon the same sorrowful erraud as her own. JLettera came but rarely John's bard hands could guide a plow far m re easily than they could wield a peu , aud when he wrote his eputles were brief , though loving. As the expedition went further and further from thebordersof civilization , the communications became leas fre quent. But troin the hour when the tram carried John out of sight , Dora's punishment began. The co-y home his love had fitted up for her was a haunting reproach , and the excite ment of Tom's visits over , memory began to recall all John's luva and the change tnat had come upon him after he decided 10 join the gold- seekers. It was no comfort to cross the lot * and go to her old home , for there Mr. and Mrs. Havau be wailed Turn's absence , and gave Dora round scold ings for encouraging him in his crazy expedition. ' L'ke as not we'll never see either one of them again , or know bow they died. " Mrs. Haven would moan , rocking herself to and fro , "a good son Tom was , till he got the gold fever. " "And a better husband than John never lived , " Mr. Haven would say , "and you gave hica no peace or reat till you drove him oft 1" And geiug back to her desolate bouse , Dora could gather no comfort in tbe old dreams. Nannie , her only servant , .would bring her knit ting to the sitting roouj , and drivt her mistress half frantic by hei sincere lamentations for the master. Night after night , kneeling tr pray ( or John's safe return , Dora felt tbe ugouy of self-reproach grew keener and keener. For Ji had come to this very on , that the longiug for wealth , thi hope of being a great lady , all faded away , aud the desolate wife's only prayer was for her husband's return. A whole year passed away , and the miners bad not returned. A wee snowdrop of a baby came to lie for one brief week upon Dora'a breast , and then leave her. Occa sionally tbe newspapers that came irregularly to tbe village , told of dib- asler and death in the gold regions , but never were tbe names of the party from Topham in the list , and Dora hoped ogaiust hope. Winter snowa were lying over the farms , and tlfteen mouths had drag- ced out their weary length since John Baynor had left his home. A pale , wasted shadow of Dora moved listlessly about the farm-house , and Nannie muttered often : "She'll not be long after her hus band aud child " Grief aud remorse were doing a fatal work with pretty Dora , when one evening as dusk was setting into night shadows , there came a startling knock at the door of the farm-home. Dora started to her feet , but scnk back , half fainting , into her chair , saying , with white trembling lips : "Quior , Dannie , go quick ! It may ba John. " Dannie was not behind-hand and optmed the door quickly. A tall brown bearded man stood upon the porch , who passed the old servant , and entered the room where Dora , with white cheeksand startl d eyes , looked at him , then beyond him. Beyond him into vacancy "Tom ! Tom ! Where where is" is"She She could not frame the question , but her brother caught her wasted figure in his arms , as she reeled across the room to meet him. "I haue come alone , Dora ! " he said. "There are but three men left of all wl o went from here. " Tbe white lips moved , noiselessly only the great blue eyes were strain ed In mute question. "We were returning , " Tom said , "and we had succeeded beyond our wildest hopes We had sent the gold on oy a circuitovg route , with ; ames Hill and J > iry Fane , and a guard of friendly Indians. " He paused , but the burning eyes never weavered. "They got safe to the nearest tort , and forwarded tbe gold by careful stages to Chicago. But we were not so fortunate. We trere encamp ed one night and John was writing to you by the fireltgh . He looked up at me to ask if it was worth while to write , when , after so long a silence we were going home , and while he spoke the crack of a rifle told us the Indians were upon us. The first shot killed John. He fell upon tbe erase beside me , gapping , 'Dora tell Dora farewell. I for give , ' and died. I have his letter talned with hia life blood. And I only , ol all the party , escaped. I will tell you later of bow I managed , but" "The letter ! " Dora whispered , "The letter I" M have It here. And Dora , John's share of the gold will make you a rich woman , now , I must go back to meter , but I will bring her lack , at onee. " Dora did not hear him. With dlszy brain she was trying t read the letter that was John's dying legicy. Sadly Tom kissed her , and mo tioning to Nannie left her , to hasten h > meward. Scant greeting he nave the love 1 ouwrt there , to hasten his parcu s back to the farm , where his widow ed sister was reading nor letter. In the deep arm chair , where Tom had gently placed her , she rested , still clasping the blood-stained letter in her hands. But her eyes never read the lines there , her hearth eke over the fatai news that her brother brought. She never touched the gold for which SUD had widowed herself , she never heard the story Tom had to tell of his wondrous es cape. With her letter pressed to her heirt , she l-.y in the arm chair dead. Says a Boston physiciin. "has no equal as abloodpnrifler.
