ALBERT J. BORIS. PUBLISHERS,
?UIMU C w. 3STU ST, NSW Yotx
helm was selling .stock in the Charita
ble Gold Mining company at 5 cents per
share, price to advance to 10 cents at
the end of thirty days. Incidentally be
fouud time to foster In Harrington's
bosoui the spirit of discontent which
teu mouths' fruitless waiting for clients
had engendered. If he were a clever,
cleuu cut young man like Harrington,
did Harrington know what he'd do?
Move west. Ue wouldn't fritter away
his time in a moss backed New Bug
land hamlet where people looked down
ou a fellow Just because they'd kuown
him all his life and could remember
when he was a little shaver and went
with patches ou his trousers. No. sir.
He'd just gather together his earthly
possessions and take the tlrst traiu
for Gilt Gulch. Nov. There was the
coming towu; there lay the oppor
tunity for an able young man to rise.
No reasou in the world why he should
uot be In the United States seuute
within Ave years. That would be com
ing some? Well, everybody and every
thing came some In that country.
Why, sir. where the thriving city of
Gilt Gulch now stood there had beeu
less than two years since naught but
sagebrush and alkali. And now look
at it? just look at It! Six thousand
Inhabitants and more coming by every
train! Simply couldn't get houses tip
fast enough for 'em. Had to cauip out
In tents. Aud every blamed one of
'em making money. Why. sir. you
couldn't tlnd a bootblack in Gilt Gulch
who was worth less than fifty thou
sand!
This vision of wealth and political
prominence was quite too much for
Barrlngton. He adjusted his affairs
in Knuckieville. which was no very
difficult matter, took tearful leave of
numerous relatives and of a certain
pretty damsel, who was not yet a rel
atlve, but had rashly promised to be
come one whenever Harrington's in
come should sutlice for the support of
two persons, and hied himself to Gilt
Gulch, promising to send souvenir post
cards from every municipality be pass
ed through on the way.
Now, underneath tlie lurtu exagger
atlon with which Mr. Theodore Tup
pcnhelu) had clothed his narrative of
the rise of (Jilt Gulch there lay a re
spectable substratum of truth, and the
combination of Harrington's ingenious
appearance with certain letters of in
troduction to persons tinancially prom
inent iu Gilt Gulch, which Mr. Tup- !
peuheltu procured for him. resulted iu
hi* speedily establishing a thriving
practice. For the most part it was
work in connection with the location
of mining claims, and, besides uuuier
ous fees in cash. Barrington acquired
several claims of his own. which he
disposed of profitably.
In brief, nt the end of a year Bar
rington had waxed so prosperous as to
feel himself warranted in marrying.
The Knucklevllle Weekly Times an
nounced editorially that It understood
that young Mr. Barrington, for whom,
its readers would remember, the Times
had predicted a brilliant career when
he hung out his shingle in Knuckle
vllle, was now one of the leading men '
iu the west, and the other village
maidens were openly jealous of Susie
Cutler, whose good fortune it was to
be to marry a millionaire.
But Susie herself had no illusions.
She even refused to permit Barriugton
to come east for the marriage. Her
childhood lessons of thrift and econ
omy had taken deep root in her mind,
aud she would not. she said, have the
price of a round trip railroad ticket
thrown away. If Barrington felt that
he must spend t!:e money, let him buy
a cabinet organ or a secondh.u d piano
for the front parlor. They would be
married in their own house at Gilt
Gulch and after that take a little wed
ding trip to Colorado Springs or maybe
Denver. Perhaps, being a prudent
damsel, Susie desired to have a glance
at Gilt Gulch before she committed
herself irrevocably. At any rate, mat
ters bad beeu thus arranged, and, the
date set for the wedding being but
two days away and Susie due to ar
rive that afternoon. Barrington was In
the state of ecstasy approprlate'tosuch
circumstances. It was In this moment
of supreme happiness that misfortuue
befell him.
The work Barrington had been doing
requires to be performed with great
accuracy; otherwise it is not only
valueless, but may be the occasion of
great loss to the client. Now, It is
possible that Barrington possessed
genius. People who have that, you
know, are apt to be careless as to de
falls. Perhaps it was merely that,
being deeply In love, he could not con
centrate his mind upon his work. How
ever that may be. Hartford, the attor
ney whose ofllce was next to Barring
ton's, had discovered In the course of
an investigation of the records that j
Barrington had tiled documents con
taining serious errors. He spoke to
Barrington about It in a perfectly
friendly way. Barrington received his
kindly admonitions with a contempt
which he was at no pains to disguise.
Why should he pay heed to the re
marks of a man who wore baggy
trousers and long hair and played faro,
to say nothing of becoming intoxicat
ed now and then? He knew well
1
enough what Inspired these critical ob
servations. Hartford was jealous of
the prosperity which Harrington had
so rapidly achieved. Let hlni stop
caviling, said the virtuous Harrington
to himself, and seek success by lead
ing a sober life, as he did.
Keeling that he bad beeu Insulted.
Barrlngton thereafter confined bis
communications with Hartford to a
curt "How are you?" accompanied by
a ban;;; perceptible nod when tliey I
chanced to meet. It was with a good
deal of surprise, therefore, that Hart
ford. glancing up from bis rather di
lapidated desk as be heard the door
open, perceived Harrington entering
his olUce. One bad uot to look at Har
rington twice to be convinced that he
was badly frightened. His eyes, which
ordinarily regarded those about him
with an air of easy toleration, were
wide with terror, and his well chisel
ed features, customarily wearing an
air of placid coucelt. were now white
and drawn. Ills manner toward Hart
ford was no longer supercilious. All
his carefully constructed attitude of
dignity bad vanished.
"You've been In this (>irt of the
country longer than 1 have. Hartford,'
said be. "I want your advice as a?
a friend, you know."
Hartford nodded and withdrew his
pipe from bis lips.
"Sure." said be succinctly. "What's
the row?"
"Why, you see." said Harrington, "It
seems that in tiling the papers for .liui
Busby on that last mining claim ot
his 1 made a slight error. I have beeu
doing a large business, you know,
Hartford? a very large business- and
It was Inevitable that 1 should make
a mistake occasionally. It seems that
some unscrupulous persons have taken
advantage of this purely technical slli
and have Jumped Busby's claim, and
he is very much exercised about it."
"I should think be ml^ht be," Hart
ford observed.
"Yes." repeated Harrington, "he is
much exercised and quite unreason
able about It. He came into my
office a few moments apo and demand
ed an explanation. Of course I couldn't
tell him anything except that It was
Just a mistake such as any man might
make, aud he said I was lying to him.
He said I was too smart to make a
fool break like that and that I was In
with the gang that were trying to do
him out of a claim that would have
made him rich. 1 argued with him
tho best I could, but It didn't budge
him. He said he didn't see that it
made much dilTereuce, anyhow, wheth
er 1 was a fool or a kuive, because
either way I hadn't any right to live,
and he wound up by saying that he'd
just down to the Jolly Dok and get
a few drinks to put him In the right
frame of mind aud then he'd come
back and reduce the membership of
the Gilt Gulch bar by one."
It is slgulllcant of Hartford's broad
aud tolerant temperament that be did
uot remind Harrington that he had
previously predicted such a catastro
phe as had now befallen. Neverthe
less a slight glimmer of amusement
stole across his face.
"So you want my advice, do you?"
he asked.
"1 should appreciate It very much,"
said Harrington.
"Well, you shall have It," said Hart
ford laconically, rapping the bowl of
his pipe against the heel of bis shoe.
"If Jim Busby were out gunning for
me and I couldn't shoot any better
than you can, aud I had a comfortable
little sum saved, as you have, aud
there were a pretty girl in New Eng
land who didn't know any better than
to love me, as she does you, I'd go east
on the half past 2 train, and I wouldn't
hurry back."
"But the trouble Is," Harrington ex
plained. "Susie? Miss Cutler, that is?
will be here ou the train that gets In
at 2:oO. The trains pass on the first
siding out, you know. The fact is we
are to be married day after tomorrow
at noon. You'll pardon my omitting
to send you au invitation, won't you?
It was quite unintentional. I've beeu
so busy"?
"Oh," Hartford broke in, with a dep
recatory wave of his arm, "you need
not apologize. It's just one of those
little mistakes a busy man Is bound to
make every now and then. 1 haven't
Busby's disposition. I'll forgive you."
Then Hartford looked at his watch
aud found that it was twenty minutes |
past 2.
"You'll have to uiovc lively, my j
boy," he said. "Keep an eye open for
Jim, and if the coast is clear take the
2:110. If it isn't, walk over to Sand !
City and take the next one there."
"Hut about Susie," Harrington re
monstrated.
"Pshaw!" growled Ilartford. "That's
easy enough. Leave a note for her
with the station master, telling her to
go back to Colorado Springs and you'll
meet her there. If you don't have time
to write a note, have the station mas
ter tell her you've been called away on
a life and death matter and that she's
to go to the hotel and wait until you
send her word. Don't you worry about
the girl. She'll prefer a slightly de
layed wedding to an expedited funeral.
Ilurry up now. You've just about time
to make it"
As he slipped down the main street
of Gilt Gulch on bis way to the sta
tion Barrlngtou caught a glimpse of
Jim Busby's gaunt profile as be stood !
at the bar of the Jolly Dog, his back
toward the entrance. Barrlngton's In
dolent heart rejoiced as he reflected
that the ten mile walk to Sand City
would now be unnecessary. It was
just twenty-eight minutes past 2 when '
he reached the station. He gave the
necessary instructions concerning Su
sie to the station master and rushed
out upon the platform. But the train
which made up at Gilt Gulch was not
yet ready to depart. A freight car had
left the rails, blocking the track. Five,
ten. fifteen minutes passed, and still
the obstruction remained. Harrington j
grew uneasy. Jim Bushy might at any I
moment deem tlmt tie bad Imbibed n
quantity of liquor commensurate with
his contemplated task and begin to
search for him. Hut at the eud of
twenty minutes, to his great relief, tho
perspiring train crew succeeded In re
placing the derailed car, and the
freight train pulled slowly out upou u
siding. Even as It did so Harrington
caught sight of the -:50 train as It
rounded the curve just beyond the sta
tion.
A moment Inter Susie Cutler, her I
trim little figure set off by a skillfully j
tailored gray traveling suit and her ,
face wearing the look of determination !
befitting a girl who had Just completed ;
a Journey nearly across the continent !
alone, descended to the platform of ,
Gilt Gulch station. Harrington rushed
toward her Joyfully. Within three
steps of her he encountered an obsta- I
cle? a very serious obstacle. This was j
nothing less than the muzzle of a re- |
volver. Behind the revolver stood Mr.
James Busby.
"Now, young man," said Mr. Busby,
"we'll attend to yi-tir little matter, and i
we wou't l>e long doing it."
Then Busby became suddenly con
scious of a voice, evidently feminine,
proceeding from some point in his
rear and of the light pressure of a
hand upon his arm.
"I)o you know," said the voice, "it's
dreadfully careless of you pointing
that thing at anybody so. Why, it
might go off."
Turning about. Busby looked into j
the piquant features of Susie Cutler. |
lie decided unhesitatingly that, not- 1
withstanding some freckles and the
tendency of the nose to turn up, it was
a rather pleasing face to view.
"So It might," said Busby slowly.
"So it might."
"Well, then, stop aiming it at Ilar
Mr. Harrington," she commanded.
"You make me nervous."
"Fact is," said Busby, "I was sort
of planning to shoot Mr. Barrington."
lie had lowered his weai>on and
spoke very calmly and deliberate^*.
"What!" shrieked the girl. "You
li.ivc the audacity to stand there and
tell 1 you mean to commit a cold
blooded murder? Where are the po
lice? A splendid place this must be to
live in. where a man goes out to kill
another as coolly us he'd eat his
breakfast!"
"That's the way with all you folks
from out Boston way," grumbled Bus
by. "You're always getting murder
und the administration of Justico
mixed. I ain't going to murder him.
I'm going to execute him. lie's done
me dirt, and if lie ain't killed he'll do
somebody else dirt So for the good
of everybody he'd ought to be shot.
What do you care anyway? Ain't no
relative of yourn. is he?"
"Why, no," she answered in some
confusion, "lie isn't a relative exactly
?that is. he"?
A gleam of comprehension shone In
Busby's eyes._.

"Come to think of It," said he, "I J
hoard something about his being go- '
lng to get married. Be you the girl?"
She nodded.
"Yes," sho nnswered simply, "I'm
the girl."
"Then," said Busby, "It's clear
enough to my mind that In interfering
with this execution you're preventing
me from doing you a great favor.
Ilow8omever, if you stick to It that
you don't waiit him shot and If you'll
take him out of Nevada and keep him
out"?
The girl did not wait for him to fin
ish. She transferred her grasp from
Busby's arm to that of Barrington,
who during the preceding conversation
had stood silent, bis face white, bis
limbs trembling, cold sweat beading
his forehead.
"Come, liarry," she said Imperiously.
Meekly, with bowed head and down
cast eyes, Barrington suffered her to
lead him aboard the train, which was
now, the track being clear, about to
move eastward.
Jim Busby sat down upon the edge
of the platform and burst Into a roar
of laughter. Long after the train had
disappeared nround the curve below
the station the station master found
him there, his broad shoulders still
shaking with merriment.
"Well, you doddering idiot," said the
station master, "what's the Joke?"
"Oh, ain't he going to get his all
rip. lit, though?" queried the mirthful
Busby. "Did you hear her 'Come, Har
ry,' him and snake blm aboard the
train like he'd been a puppy bitched
to a string? He got out of being exe
cuted, but he's getting a life sentence,
and that's a whole lot worse."
