[ Continued. ] The restraint and evident uneasiness of his companions had at last touched him , Ho turned his frank young eyes upon thorn ; they glanced helplessly tt each other. Yet his first concern was for them his first instinct paternal and pro tecting. Ho ran hia eyes quickly ever them ; they were all there , and apparent ly in their usual condition. "Any thing wrong with the claimt"1 ho suggest. od. od.Without Without looking at him the Right Dower rose , loaned against the open door with his hands behind him and his face toward the landscape , and said , apparent ly to the distant prospect : "Tho claim's played out the partnership's played out and the sooner wo skedaddle out of this the better. If , " ho added , turning to the Old Man , "if you want to stay if you want to do Chinaman's work at Chinaman's wages if you want to hang on to the charity of the traders at thoCros sing you can do it , and enjoy the pro opecta and the No.ih's doves alone. But Vro'ro calculatin1 to stop out of it. " " 13ut 1 haven't said I wanted to do it alone , " protested the Old Man with a gesture of bewilderment. "If these are your general ideas of the partnership"continued the Right Bower , clinging to the established hypothesis of the other partners for support , "it ain'l ours , and the only way wo can prove it is to stop the foolishness right horo. Wo calculated to dissolve the partnership and strike out foroursolvos olsowhoro. You're no longer responsible for us , nor wo for you. And wo reckon it's the square thing to Icnvo you the claim and the cabin , and all it contains. To prevent any trouble with the traders , we've drawn up a paper here " "With a bonus of $50,000 each down , and the rest to bo settled on my chil dren , " interrupted the Old Man , with a hnlf uneasy laugh. "Of course. But " lie stopped suddenly , the blood dropped from las fresh cheek , and ho again glanced quickly round the group. "I don't think 1 I quite sabc , boys , " ho added , with a slight tremor of voice and lip. "If it's a conundrum , nak mo an easier ono. " Any lingering doubt ho might have had of their moaning was dispelled by the Judge. "It's about the softest thing you kin drop into , Old Man , " ho said confi dentially ; "if I hadn't promised the other boys to go with .them , and if I didn't need the best medical advice in Sacramento for my lungs , I'd just enjoy staying with you. " "It gives a sorter freedom to a young follow like you , Old Man like goiu' into the world on yourowncapital thatovory Californian boy hasn't got , " said Union Mills patronizingly , "Of course , it's rather hard papers on us , you know , givin' up every tiling , go to speak ; but it's for your good , and wo ain't goin' back on you , " said the Loft Bower , "aro wo , boys1" The color had returned to the Old Man's ' face a little more quickly and freely than usual. Ho picked up the hat ho had cast down , put it on carefully orur his brown curls , drew the flap down on the fiido toward hia companions , and put his hands in his pockets. "All right , " ho oaid , in a Mightly altered voice. "When do you go ! " "To-iiay , " answered the Loft Boner. "Wo calculate to take a moonlight pascnr over to the Cross Roads and moot the down stngo at about 12 to night. There's plenty of time yet , " ho added with a slight laugh ; "if * only 3 o'clock now. " "Thoro was a dead silence. Even the the rain withheld its continuous patter , a dumb , gray film covered the ashes of the hushed hearth. For the first time the Right Bower exhibited some slight em barrassment. "I reckon it's held up for a spell , " he said , ostentatiously examining the weath er , "and wo might as well take a run around the claim to see if wo'vo forgot ten nothing. Of course , we'll bo back again , " ho added hastily , without looking at the Old Man , "before wo go , yoo know. " The others began to look for their hats , but so awkwardly and with such evident preoccupation of mind that it was not at lirst discovered that the Judge had his hat already on. This raised n laugh , as did also a clumsy stumble of Union Mills against the 4 ork barrel , although that gentleman took refuge from his confusion and secured a decent retreat by a gross exaggeration of his lamenesses ho limped after the Right Bower. The Judge whis tled foobly. The Right Bower , in a more ambitious effort to impart a certain gave- ty to his exit , stopped on the threshold and said , as if in arch confidence to his companions : "Darned if the Old Man don't look two inches higher since1 ho became - came proprietor , " laughed patronizingly , and vanished. If the newly-made proprietor had in creased in stature , he had not otherwise , changed his demeanor. Ho remained in the same attitude until the last figure dis appeared behind the fringe of buckeye that hid the distant highway. Then ho walked slowly to the fireplace , and , lean- "ng against thochimiieykickcd ; the dying embers together with his foot. Some thing dropped and upattored in the film of hot ashes. Surely the rain had not ceasodl Bis high color had already lied , except for a spot on either cheek bone-that lent a brightness to his eyes. ILo glanced around the cabin. It looked familiar and yet strange. Rather , it looked strnngo because still familiar , and therefore in congruous , with the now atmosphere that surrounded it discordant with the echo of their lost mooting rnd painfully ac centing iho change. There were the four bunks , or eloeping berths , of his compan ions , each still bearing some traces of the ixdividuality of its Jato occupaut with a dumb loyalty that seemed to make their li'uht-heartod defection monstrous. In the dead ashes of itho Judge's pipe .scat tered on his shelf still lived his old dlrpj in the whittled and carved edges of the Left Bower's bunk still were the laonio- ries of bygone days of delicious indolence ; in the bullet holes clustered round a knot of one of the beams there was still the record of the Right Bower's old-time skill and p&ctioo ; in the few .engravings of fe male loveliness stuck uopn each head board there were the proofs of their ojd extravagant devotion all a inuto protest to the change. Ho remembered how , a fatherless , truant schoolboy , he had drifted into their adventurous nomadic lifo itsoh' lifo of grown-up truancy like hia own and became came ono of that gypsy family. IIow they hod taken the place of relations and household in his boyish fancy filling it with the unsubstantial pageantry of a child's play at grown-up existence ho knew only too woll. But how , from bo , nig a pot and protege , ho had gradually and unconsciously assorted his own in dividually and taken upon his younger shoulders not only a poet's keen appreci ationof that life but its actual responsi bilities and half childish burdens ho never suspocled. llo had fondly believed that ho was A ncophyto in thoirways n novice in their charming faith and indolent crcod and they hnd encouraged ilj now their renunciation of that faith could only bo an oxonso for n renunciation of him. The poetry that had for two years invest ed the material and sometimes oven menu details of their existence was too much a part of himself to bo lightly dispelled. The lesson of these ingenious moralist * failed , as such lessons are apt to fail ; their discipline provoked butdul notsub- duo ; a rising indignation , stirred by a sense of injury , mounted to his check and eyes. It was slow to como , but was none the loss violent _ that it had boon proccdedby the bonumbingshock of shame andprido. . I hope 1 shall not prejudice the read or's sympathies if m > duty as a simple chronicler compels mo to state , there fore , that the sober second thought of this gentle poet was to burn down the cabin on the spot , with nil its contents. This yielded to u milder counsel wait ing for the return of the party , chal lenging the lli ht Bower , a duel to the death , perhaps himself the victim , with the crushing explanation in extremist "It seems ATO are one too many. No matter ; it is settled now. Farewell I" Dimly remembering , however , that there was something of this in the last well- worn novel they had read together , and that his antagonist might recognise it , or even worse , anticipate it himself , the idea was quickly rejected. Besides , the opportunity for an apotheosis of self- sacrifice was past. Nothing remained now but to refuse the proffered bribe of claim and cabin by letter , for ho must not wait their return , llo tore a loaf from a blotted diary , begun and abandoned long since , and essayed to write. Scrawl after scrawl was torn up until his fury had cooled down to a frigid third personality. "Mr. John Pord regrets to inform his late partners that their tender of house of furniture , " however , seemed too incon sistent with the pork-barrel table ho was writing on ; a more eloquent renunciation of their oiler became frivolous and idio tic from a carricaturo of Union Mills , label and all , that appeared suddenly on the oilier side of the loaf , and when heat at last indited a satisfactory and impas sioned exposition of his feelings the legi ble addenda of "Oh , ain't you glad you're out of the w ildornossl" the forgotten first line of a popular song , which no scratch ing would erase , seemed too like an ironi cal postscript to bo thought of for a moment. lie throw aside his pen and cast the discordant record of past fool ish pastime into the dead ashes of the hearth. IIow quiet it was. With the cessation of the rain the wind , too , had gene down , and scarcely a breath of air came through the open door. Ho walked to the threshold and gazed on the hushed prospect. In this listless attitude ho vras fainly con scious of a distant reverberation , a more phantom of sound perhaps the explo sion of a distant blast in the hills that loft the silence more marked and oppres sive . As ho turned again into the cabin a change Boomed to have como over it. It already looked old and decayed. The loneliness of years of desertion Boomed to have taken possession of it ; the atmo sphere of dry rot was in the beams and rafters. To his excited fancy the few disordered blankets and articles of cloth ing sooniod dropping to pieces ; in one of the bunks there was a hideous rcsom- blanco in the longitudinal heap of cloth ing to a withered and mummied corpao. So it might look in after years when sumo passing stranger but ho stopped. A dread of the place was beginning to creep over him ; a dread of the days to como , when the monotonous sunshine should lay bare the loneliness of these walls ; the long day of endless blue and cloudless overhanging solitude ; summer days when the wearying , incessant irado winds should sing around that omyty shell and voice its desolation. Ho gathered togeth er hastily a few articles that wore especi ally his own-rather that the free commun ion of the camp from indifference or acci dent , had left wholly to him. Ho hesi tated for a moment over his rifle , but , scrupulous in his wounded pride , turned nway and loft the familiar weapon that in the dark days had so often provided the dinner or breakfast of the little household. Candor compels mo to state that this equipment was not largo nor eminently practical. His scant pack was a light weight for even his young should ers , but I fe r ho thought inoro of getting away from the past than providing for the future. With this vague but solo purpose ho loft the cabin , and almost mechanically turned his stops toward the crook ho had crossed that morning. Ho know that by this route ho would avoid mooting his companions ; its difliculties and circuit- ousncss would evcrcisn his feverish limbs and give him time for reflection. Ho had determined to leave the claim , but whence ho had not considered. Ho reached the crock where he had stood two houra before ; it soomcd to him two years. He looked curiously at his reflec tion in-ono of the broad pools of over flow , and fancied ho looked older. Ho watched the rush and outset of the tur- bcd current hurrying to meet the South Forkand to eventually loose itself in the yellow Sacramento. Even in his preoccu pation ho was impressed with a likeness to himself and itscompanons in ( bit Hood that hod burst its peaceful boundaries. In the drifting fragments of ono of their forgotten flumes washed from the bank lie fancied ho saw .an omen of the disin tegration and decay of the Lone Star claim. The strange hush in the air that ho had notiood before a calm so inconsis tent with that hour and the season UH to Bcem poriontious became more marked turbulent watercourse. A few clouds lazily huddled in < the West apparently had gene to rest with the sun on beds of Honwolont poppies. There was a glearn as of golden water everywhere along the horitonwashing out tiiocold snow poakn , and drowning even the rising moon. The crock caught it here and there , until , in arim irony , it seemed to bear tnoir bro ken sluice boxes and useless engines on too very I'actolian stream they had boon hopefully created to direct and carry. Out by aoino peculiar trick of the atmos phere the perfect plenitude of that KokV on nunset glory was lavished on the rugged god aide and tangled cr-eat of the Lone Star mountain. That isolated peak the landmark of their claimtho gaunt monument ment of their folly , transfigured in the evening splendor , kept its radiance un- quoncod long after the glow had fallen from the uncompassing skies , and when at last the rising moon , atop by'stop , put out the fires along the winding valley and plains , and erupt up the rocky aides pf the ratiyon , the vanishing sunset was lost only to reappear OB a golden crown. The oyca of the young man were fixed upon it with more than a momentary pic turesque interest. It had been the favor' ito ground of his prospecting exploit * ; its lowest flank had boon scarred in the old enthusiastic days with hydraulic engine * , or pierced with shaft * , but the central petition in the claim , and its superior height , had always given it o command- ing view of the extent ofjthclr valley and its approaches , and it was this practice pro-eminence that Mono attracted him at that moment , llo know tlmt from its crest ho would bo able to distinguish the figures of his companions as they crossed the valley near the cabin in the growing moonlight. Thus ho could avoid encoun tering them on his way to the high road and yet see them , perhaps , for the last time. Even in his soiiso of injury there was a strange satisfaction in the thought. The u.icont was toilsome , but familiar. All along the dim trail ho was accompa nied by gentler memories of the pjxst , that seemed like the faint odor of picod loaves and fragrant grasses wet with the rain and crushed beneath his ascending tread , to exhale the sweeter perfume in his dibit to subdue or liso above them. Thcro was the thicket of mnnzanita , where they had brokou noonday broad together , hero vras the rock bcsido their maiden shaft , where they had poured a wild libation in boyish enthusiasm of succost ; and here the lodge where their first tlag a red shirt heroically sacrificed was displayed 'from a long-handled shovel tn the gaze of admirers bolow. When ho at last reached the summit the mysterious hush wan still in the air , as if in breathless sympathy with his expedi tion. In the west the plain was faintly illuminated , but disclosed no moving fig ures. llo turned toward the rising moon , and moved slowly to the eastern cdgo. Suddenly l.o etopped. Another stop would have boon his lastl Ho stood upon the crumbling edge of a precipice. A landslip had taken place on the eastern flank , fearing the gaunt ril)3 and lleahlesa bones of Lone Star Mountain bare in the moonlight. Ho understood now the strange rumble and reverberation ho had heard ; ho understood now the strange hush of bird and beast in brake and thicket ! [ TO 11K CONTINKW ) . ] AVcl lo nrojer.

Ho is ono of these wretched sinners who work upon the papers. Ho has the devil in his heart , and there Is a wart upon his heart. " It was in thisjromarkablostrain , says .Tho Philadelphia Press , that a lieu tenant in the Salvation Army Barracks , at Fifth and Berks streets , prayed for a Press reporter , present in the audience. The scene was thp usual ono to bo wit nessed in the nicotines called by the Sal vationists themselves a "free and easy.1' Thirty or forty privates of the platform facing the audience. The women thumped their tambourines with a lively jingle , and the men carried on their re ligious antics in a highly boisterous style , while several of their number beat vigor ously upon big , noisy drums , and the captain and iiis lioutoimutB pranced about on the platform in a feverish stylo. After the reporter hnd boon in the building about half an hour ono of the lieutenants approached him at his seat on the front row and asked in dramatic tones : "Young man , are you saved ) " "I don't know for guro , are you ) " was the reply. "Yes , of course I am , " ex claimed the lieutenant. "Won't ' you accept - copt of salvation ? I have it horo.for you. Como , kneel down and pray with mo. " But the reporter said ho did not believe in emotional religion , and , begged to bo excused. "What are you here forthon ? Why did you como up to the front scat1' ? And then , seeing a pencil in the repor ter's hand , who up to this time had not told his business , and a roll of paper pro truding from his pocket , the Salvationist exclaimed : "Ah , 1 see ; you are a repor ter. You work for the venal , selfish pa pers ; you are in the service of the Evil One. Oh , leave him and join us. " But the visitor was not yet persuaded , and the Salvationist then went on again : "Young man , are you a Christian ? " The reporter said ho hoped ho was. "Young man , you are false to the be lief which you claim to profess , " and , ao saying , ho bobbed up from his Boat , and , kneeling down on the floor , stopped the exorcises which were going on on the platform by beginning to pray for the reporter - porter as follows : "Wo have a reporter here a miaorablo reporter A sinful servant of unholy newspapers a good young man gene wrong. Satan has made him obstinate , and will not yield to persuasion and bo saved. Oh , help the wicked reporter ! The oovil holds the fort in this ronortcr'n brain. HO'B going to h . Unfloujah ! Oh , may ho join the Salvation Army , oh ! Give him repentance. Ho is a typo of all reporters , and they are all a wicked lot. " The lieutenant stopped , to giyo the reporter a chance to Isnool down. The men and women soldiers shouted : "Save the reporter ! " "Help the poor reporter ! " "Down with the devil ! " " 1 was wicked onoo.but now J am pure ! " The lieutenant then began : "Oil , kill this uoportor. Take him away that ho may do evil no inoro Ho is too obstinate to yield. Ho knows ho ought to , but ho is proud all roportora aro. Oh , strike this reporter down ; ho is the devil in dia guise. " Another enlvationist took up the prayer. A woman was the last to en deavor to induce the wicked reporter to repent , and tlion the entire regiment pf the army began to sing for the reporter , during which hn loft.

Ho didn't lese any time going down , and when ho struck ho roalir.od that ho had hit something , And yet what ho said was : "Is it possible ! " Ho got up slowly , forced a grin as the boy a chaffed liini and looked back three times to inako sure that ho hadn't made a bolo which would prove a man trap for other pedestrians. The next was a bank clerk with a pencil ever his car and a preoccupied mind. Ho was swinging his right hnnd and rushing right ahead when lie suddenly saw bil lions of stars shining in the morning sky. Ills first thought was that somebody wai celebrating Fourth of July ; his next waste to scramble up and search for an asylum where ho could hunt up his collar button and splice his suspenders. Not a word escaped him until ho was a block away. Then ho remarked : "At 0 per cent it would bo $854.17. " The next man was a strapping big fol low with an ulster on and a big rod silk handkerchief hanging out of a pockot. Ho began a sort of shuttle as ho struck the spot , increased it in a minute to a peculiar "break down , " and finally wont down with n whoop that was heard half a block away. Ho was up in a moment.
