Night When He Had Capt to Safety.
and death we see things more clearly
than at any other time, and Harry
Wilkerson, as he looked over the famil-
iar valley. remembered that long night
when almost mortally wounded by
Thomas Gallon's bullet he had crept
to safety. Every peak, gully and gulch
was as plain to him as it was on that
night, but this time it conveyed a dif-
ferent meaning. During those long
hours of agony and thirst years ago
this scene had meant to him simply a
hell from which he must struggle out.
Now it was a paradlse he was going
to regain. .
He had heard a great deal about Gal-
lon's mediocre success, and he did not
fully understand why it was that “The
Master Key" mine did not pay better.
Was it possible that his former part-
ner had not been able to find that rich
vein of gold after all? He smiled again.
He Would find it.
Then there was that girl whose vi-
vaclty and beauty he had heard so
much about.
Some instinct told him that Gallon
must be over thinking of him, and
with the dramatic impulse of a man
who has long nursed the hope of bitter
vengeance, he planned his reappear-
ance. He would find his old' partner
alone. and there and then they would
once more have it out. This was the
reason that he had not taken the motor
stage, but had come on horseback, sl—
lently watching for his opportunity.
His keen eyes scanned the scene below
him and easily. picked out the bunga-
low.
Those whom we mosl‘want to for-
get reappear at strange times. Thom-
as Gallon saw the ghost of the partner
he had murdered on the crest of the
hill above the mine they had discover-
ed years ago together.“
How shall he still save for his (laughs
ter Ruth the property for which he
gave his happiness? ,
