Doc \\as-not \ \ what migh't bo called a
church-going man , oven if ho had the
opportunity , but ho looked at Jasper
svbiidily fora moment or so and Inward
ly breathed , or seemed to , a "God bless
you. mj boj. "
"who's got ImnU-room fur Jasper ? "
he asked , turning to the boys.
"I bev , " quiddy answeied Grouch ,
who had como up unnoticed while the
talk wns going1 on.
llvety ono started , and Grouch's face
did not take on a very amiable look as
ho noticed the gonural distrust on the
eoualcimnecs of the men.
"Vei needn't glaio at me , fellers , " ho
bald f-iivngcly , ' 'I bed it , an'I means it.
C'cine on boy ; I'm ' goia' to turn in , " and
the two beauties walked away together.
"Whut do ye think , DocV asked Willis

"I'm it ' ' said "an'

it. All you bo\s keep nn o.\o 011 Grouch
frum now on. What ho Hants is to niako
a blavo outer Jasper an' rob him uv his
money on pay day. "
The next night the bojs niot as usual
at Mat Zodor's , and botneen drinks
talked ovei the Grouch episode. They
could not Mtisfactoilly account for the
ugly man'sstranre conduct. IIo of all
others would have been the last one
thought of to do an aet of charity. No ,
ho hads-omo ulterior end in view in tak
ing the boy to the cabin near the big
rock A\hero lie had first camped out.
"Bojs/'baid Doc after be\eral rounds
lincl loon disposed of , "I propose to
watch Grouch an' learn jes' whut ho
means , Hov Igota pardner ? "
"Thefs whut , " quickly ronliod Big
TCd , who jumped to ' his feet and stepped
to the bide "of Doc. "The bov don't
amount to much mebbo , but it wa'nt ho
caiiBorouch ( ! (3 ( fond uvdoin' ' good turns
that bo tuk him in , "
Then 13ir ( I2d and Dee loft , pointing for
Gioueh's hut. Tt was a rude affair/liko
all the others in the camp , and here and
there Hero gaping chinks largo enough
toiiibeit ono'slist. After reeonnoiterin"
for an hour or so Ioo ) and hib companion
cioptfiteallhllj ute ] the hut and peered
in between tlio chinks. They saw the
boy asleep on a mattress of dead grass
and coveted with Gioueh's blanket.
Gioucli himself sit before a dying log
flio , ith his hands clasped over hi ?
knees , and looking fcilontly , thought
fully Intcvtho pum lit tie bla/.e. IIo sat
so long in thib position that Doc and his
comrade giowro.stlcbS and iinally quito
angry , Besides , Doc had only taken a ,
hdf-do/.en drinlcs duiing1 the evening
and ho was getting thirsty.
Suddenly , ho\vo\er , Grouch arosofrom
Ills seat on a big rock and approaching
the flcoping boy bout o\or him , ga/ing
intently into bis faeo. A slight ticmor
Komcd to pass over the Bleeping youth's
fiamc. No tooner had Grouch bent
down over the boy than Doc and LJig lid ,
\ \ \\orostatlonedonoithorsido \ of the
hut , pulled their revohors and drew a
head on Grouch's \ltals. Grouch arose
and bloppul softly to a , corner of the
room. Dee slipped over to Big Ed's side
imd Mid :
"IIo's gene fur bis knife : watoh him
elofceleinnio ; Iho fuat , 1M. "
Grouch came back in a moment , and ,
btoonln ; ' over the bodj tenderly , placed
his only loinalning blanket o\er \ him.
1'hen ho resumed his teat on the rock
before the 11 re and looked into tlio dying
cinbeis. After ten minutes study ho
got unplaced n log along bide the boy
and tlion laid down , xising- the \ \ oed for
a pillow.
"Heokoa 'llb'liovo '
the boys usV'aMccd
Hig ld ! as bo and Doe looked at each
other rather sheepishly.
"They Kin cum an' &eo fur tholrsolves
ef they don't , " answered Dee as ho put
away hih gun and started for camp ,
Thobo\s \ recoi\cd the report in grim
filoiuo with oao exception. IJank Wil
liams did not lurtake of the ill fooling
against Grouen after hearing" Doe's ro-
port.
"Let's all drink to Grouch. Ho's all
lightfur , Ills heart's in the right place , "
ho said.
"Hole on. Hunk , ' ' interrupted "Willis
llarton. "Loo's viilt afore wo drink tor

Tlio following morning yciung Hint
came into the eonmiibwiryitli U touch ,
got tihhotul and pick , and then began
worliby the tldo of the suspected man.
Doc , noticing this , Mopped oxer to tlio
Uiy and whispeied Unit ho had hotter
"como OMH- among white men an' work. "
"IIo's nliito enuf fcr mo , " niibHercd
the boy , joiking his thumb towaul
Grouch. "IIo's tulv Kcor uv mo an' gin

uTno h-1 jou wii I" commented sev
eral of the bojs when told this by Doe.
"He's jes' vultin' fcr the boy ter git

cent , " broke In AVillU Uarton. The ex-
iiresJ agent Hill bo along In three weeks.
Then watch Grouch. The boy'll wlmt
tor fcndfome money home. " '
So things ian along , the boy vorklnp
beside Grouch and the two fcetnlng to
grow more attached to each other dally.
They did not mingle with thootlicr men
but spent their e\onlngs togother.iuulon
Sundays took long trainpj up the beauti
ful valley , Inhaling the balsa mud ulr
from the plnon trees on the mountiiin-
side , and plucking vlld Hovers lor the
adornment of the walls of their rude hut.
The day on which the express agent
was to arrive was fast approaching , and
boys were once more on the qui vivo
n their watching of Giouch. On tlio
light piecedlng the ngcnt'snrrh.il Doc
md Big Ed stole down to the su pccled
nan's cabin and took up their uoaltlon
lear the openings in tlio chink in ( lie
vail , Janpor and Giouchcvo sitting
icar the fireplace ( for it va iilways
chilly at night in Ail/ona nomatter how
vat in the clav ) , chatting in low tones ,
lalf an hour later the boy got up , took
lis blanket from a peg on the wall , and
hrowitig it on his mittress of dead grass
curled up and was boon asleep. Grouch
< ept hisoyeson the lire and seemed tobo
a great dibit ess of mind. At times lie
vould half lise , onlto sit down immo-
liatoly , run his long , bony lingers
hrough his coarbc , bristly hair , and
nutter to himself in an Inaudible tone ,
suddenly ho lumped up to his feet as
.hough ho had at last made up his mind
md walked over to the l ys couch.
Stooping down ho slowly pushed his
in mi under the boy's head and diowout
ho bed's leather pouch , containing the
nonoy ho had received the day before
or Ills three weeks wotk for Price 5c
King.
In a second Doc had his "wecpon"ori
i dead level with Grouch's temple , and
10 noticed with satisfaction that I3ig Ed
lad also discovered Grouch's act.
"Did him DocV" iibked - lid
ye tee , Higlid ,
is ho tiptoed aiocmd to Doc's side of the
hut.
"Yes , " returned Doc In awhhper. as
lie took a slglit on his revolver. "I'll
money , then I'll plunk him. I alters
knowcd you wuz olt color , old man , and
now we've got the proof , oh , Ed Y1
"That's what , " was the answer , as
Big Ed peered through Doe's , chink at
Grouch.
The ugly man blo\vly \ opened the boy's
| ) each and Doe got toady to plunk. Then
Lrtouch stepped over to his o\ut \ bunk
and pulled out an old \\orn money bolt
and came to the side of the boy.
"When ho gits _ to pout In' the boy's
ciuol skins inter his own pouch I'll diop
him , " wid Dooto Dig Ed. "Then o'll
bring the boys down an'tell'em the hull
bwness. It'll bo a leg'lar circus fur'om ,
won't it ? "
"Well , I reckon , " replied BigEd , who
was getting still with excitement.
Grouch placed u hand on each bagnnd
TJoc felt for the trigger of his "vconon. "
Gionch'b lelt hand opened vide the
mouth of the boy's pouch , and with his
right fclowly poured a glittering sticam
of gold pieces into it from' hib own.
Thou lie tied up Jasper's pouch , put it
back tinder the bo " 's pillow , put hib own
empty one back "under bis niattioss ,
took oil his-boots , and went to bed.
Doe slowly placed his revolver in his
pocket and sneaked softly away about
ono hundred yaids , followed by ais com
rade. Then both looked at each other
foolibhly , drew a couple of long1 breaths ,
and btrnck out for Mart Xoder'sliko
men who hadn't tasted liquor for a 3car.
Breathless they jumped into the saloon ,
causing the boys to throw down their
hands and quit placing for the moment ,
"Enny man here kin call mo a liar an1
I Hon't open my yawp"Doc cried , when
ho had caught nis breath.
"Wouldn't belio\ed itef I hadn't seen
it with my own two eyes. Boys , Gioucli
bar. "Como on , everybody ; she's on
me. "
As tlio boys mo\ed to accept the invi
tation Willis U.irtoa interposed and re
marked :
"Boys , of I ain't ' mistaken Grouch'11
be olaimin' that the boy robbed him and
tomorror when the agent comes he'll
take all his an' tlio kid's
o\\n gold , too ,
Thot's his an' I'll '
game gamble oti it ,
caiibo ho's a sbre\\d fellor. "
Once more Doc became a little doubt
ful , and before the talk had finished that
iiighta compromise wasagieedon. They
would wait until the aycnt uuuo auu
watch Grouch.
The next day the agent lode Into
-camp ; the boys ga\o in what money thej
wanted to f-eiid homo and got their re
ceipts. Grouch und the boy woio tlio
last to appear , The founorsont nothing ,
'The boy handed his pouch over , ad-
dictated to his mothor. ami then stepped
bick bashfully to await his receipt. lie
did not bco the money counted and oalj
got bis receipt by being .shoved foiwatd
by Giouch. When ho got it ho shoved
it into hib pocket without oven looking
at it. Then the two vent back to their
vork.
"Thought ho wanted to git conviction

ton to Doe as the boys looked after the
dibiippeaiing'fot'inof the ngoiit ,
"But you HUmistaken. . Hoys , did'

ished a raid on a cliickon-eoop Doc
biieaked back to the road bed and shov
eled as ho no\or did before. For that
matter bo did the robt of the boys. Tlio
only ono who looked happy was Hank
"Williams , who kept shouting to hiscom-
rados :
"Tolo jer , didn't I ? "
A few days after thongeat'sdepartuio
Grouch was sent over to IVescott by the
oiorseer to order a lot of picks and
bhoveis. Jabpor felt lonesome , and at
nights ho would wander mound to
Xocler's und chat with thoboys , IIo was

Curious Case ol" O.it.ilcpiy anil

The qnostion of being buried allvo was
a matter dibcussod bvr a pirtyof gentlemen -
mon at the San Francisco Uoliomian
club the other night. A journalist who
was prosorit told the following story :
' Living in Sm IVaueiseotodiy aio
two persons whoso str.ingo o > cpoiionco3
have long bean u mystery to inc. T\\o \ \
joars ago a. Boston.gontloman came out
to tlio coast. IIo brought with him his
companion , a young worn in in the last
stages of consumption. Slio was pretty
mid talented and ton years younjjor
than her escort. Iain. o ( tlio opinion
that a sort of phitonlo love existed bo-
twecn thorn ,
"Throo times to my knowledge the
young1 woman has apparently pa cd out
of this life into the other world , and
twice propitiations have been made for
her burial. On ono occasion her com
panion was out of the city. During his
absencolho was taken suddenly will * a
sinking1 spell , , anil the landlady
became greatly alarmed. In two
houis the imalid was pronounced
dead by the ladies in llio
boaiding houte who woio iinittendanco
upon her. Ab the day ad Minced the
landlady , seeing no signs of the gentle
man's ' loturn , Albltcd an uiidoitakcr's
near by , and pioptmitions wore made
for laying out the coipso.
"Tho body was cold and stiff when the
undertaker arrived. IIo UoweJ tlio
coriiio anetoat \ back to his shop for his
assistant. During his absence tlio min
ing1 companion of the dead young
woman arrived upon the .scene. It was
now about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Upon being- Informed of her death live
houis before , the gentleman uttered an
oxclamntionof burpiisc. Then , rubbing
up to the room wheio the body lay , ho
elofacd tlio door behind him and turned
the key. When the underlaKcr ro-
lurncd ho was lofufacd admission , Two
houra after the gentleman emerged from
the rooTii and ordered two suppeiu tobo
bout to the iipurtmont.
'Later the young lady -was seen bit
ting upright in bed , eating heartily.
Hot companion had brought her b.icli to
life by a method of rubbing and physical
manipulation known only to nlnibelf.
Twice alter this ho repeated the por-
fornmneo. Thrco times to my kuowl-
edge has this young man brought tlio
young woman back from the dead. She
lives hoio today , fctill an invalid , and is
liable to die again at almost any mo
ment. "
