“Right. She doesn’t know any of

to tell her.”
“I do. Unless you have enough
decency left to behave like a man.”
“How do you figure a man would
behave?” Jim asked. “Of course
it’s all hearsay with you, but I’m
curious to know.”
Hayward flushed. “Never mind

you a quiet word of warming but
if you want to get nasty, why, just
write your own ticket. I’m ready
to take you on now or later.”
“I see. There’s why you brought

The speaker’s color deepened.
“Listen, Rowan! I know what hap-

give his life for me. And yet he has
never said that he loves me. I had
to find it out by chance.”
“Rose!” All the reserve, all the
! counterfeit cheerfulness of The
Michigan Kid, fell away. It was
Jim Rowan, the Dover boy, who
stared at her with working face,
and exclaimed in a voice suddenly
grown hoarse, “You—found that
picture!”
“Yes; that night when I was
looking for medicine. How long
have you had it, Jim?”
During the final depress- rangement was a joke. I’ve got
money, lots of it. I could have made
take with him. He looked every-
where for it before he finally gave
up the search.
Rowan had refused Hayward’s
warning to leave, not because he
expected Rose to reconcile herself
to his past, not because he now re-
tained the faintest hope of ever
realizing his dream, but because
there was something yet to be done,
and, moreover, because it was not
his nature to come or to go at any
man’s bidding.
He was interrupted in his task
that Hayward and the clergyman
had taken her back down to cabin.
Jim had secured a team with
which to drive the girl in to town,
and while the visitors were bidding
her good-by he went to his own
shack and began putting his few
belongings together.
He was mystified when he could
not lay his hand upon the little
leather case with the old news-
paper portrait of Rose, for it was

“Well now, I’m not sure that I
can explain unless it was because
of that hunch I told you about,”
Jim managed a splendid assump-
tion of sincerity. "We gamblers
play hunches, you know. And say,
it just proves there’s something in
them.
“A mighty queer thing happened
to-day, Rose. I didn’t mean to tell
you yet, but your father was right.
There’s pay on this claim!!” said
Rowan.
But Rose listen! While I was
digging up there on the rim the
gravel looked good. I took some of
it down to the creek and tested it.
I can’t begin to guess what was in
it but it was rich. You’re a rich
woman. There’s no mistake. It
wasn’t a ‘prospect’ it was big pay,
coarse gold!”
For a while the girl sat silent,
then abruptly she hid her face in
her hands.
“0! The pity of it!” she cried.
“After he had worked so long and
endured so much! Poor father! So
patient, so gentle, so old—!" Tears
stole through her fingers.
“He told us he would land in the
pay and we wouldn’t believe him.
But I know he’s glad, for it was
you he wanted it for, not himself,
and everything has come out just
the way he would have had it. I—
I’ll bet he’s happy at last.”

Rose, it’s all yours and you have

You needn’t pay any attention to
what Hayward said, unless you
want to. I know you like him and
—he’s a mighty nice boy. He ’ has
courage and he loves you.
“But, Jim, I don’t love him. I
don’t even like him, any more.”
“Then that’s that!” Rowan de-
clared, heartily.
“I love somebody else.” The girl
lifted her tear-stained face. “I’m in

- there commenced a period of sleep-
less anxiety. He moved her into
his cabin and tried to force her to
take some rest, but as for him he
did not remove his clothes and
scarcely closed his eyes for nearly
a week.
Then Mr. Morris died. He had
muttered almost constantly; the
last words they heard him whisper
were those of his favorite pro-
phecy, “Some day I’ll land in the
pay.”
There followed the customary
melancholy preparation and form-
alities. There were still a few wo-
men left on the creeks near by and
they did what they could for Rose.
It was Rose who selected a buri-
. al place, upon the north “rim” of
the creek—a high bench that paral-
leled the bottom and that looked
out across the tundra towards the
open sea. It was a spot that in
winter was sheltered from the icy
blasts; in summer it was brilliant
with wild-flowers, lush with tender
grasses, and fragrant with blooms
—a pleasant place for a gentle,
broken old man to sleep. Other
hands were ready to dig the grave,
but this was a labor that Jim
Rowan reserved for his own.
In due time he began it. For-
tunately, the rim was well drain-
ed- and, once he had picked through
the thin crust of autumn frost, the

“Ever since the day you graduat-

since I was a ragged kid and you
drove by in your wicker pony cart.
Rose dear, it was because of you
that I gambled. I wanted money. I
think I’d have killed to get it—al-
most. I went through hell. Then
when I had my money and had
found you I went through hell
again because—well, becau’se of
the hell I’d been through. I—I’m
not much of a man. I’m afraid
you’ve made a mistake—.”
Jim did not finish for the girl

quaveringly, like- a weay child:
“Take me, Jim. Please! I’m—
so tired!”

dared doggedly.
“I asked him to say it before
you, Jim if—if he insists upon say-
ing it at all.”
“I merely started to tell her why
she couldn’t afford to have any-
thing further to do with you.” the
visitor announced. “I tried to tell
her that I love her and want to
marry her; that I’ll give her a
home and end all of her
troubles—”
“What was it you said about
Jim?” the girl insisted quietly.
Hayward told her; frankly, bru-
tally he repeated what he had pre-
viously said. Jim listened in silen-
ce.
“Is it true?” Rose turned a
strained, white face upon The
Michigan Kid.
“Most of it is. Not that about
the killing of Thompson, of course.
He shot himself because he had
lost company money.
“Rose, will you let me take you
to town?” Hayward asked, earn-
estly.
Slowly the girl shook her head.
“Jim has arranged to drive me in.
I’m sorry you didn’t wait a while
before—I’ve had a good deal to
bear.” When the young man scowl-
ed at Rowan and opened his lips
to protest she smiled faintly. “I’ll
be perfectly safe with him. The
Michigan Kid hasn’t been accused
of killing women, has he?”
“Very well. I‘m sorry, too, that
it had to come at a time like this.
But I thought it best. I’ll see you
to-morrow, Rose. Forgive me if
I’ve been rough. It’s only because

ed, then he turned and went out
into the chill twilight.
When the crunch of his footsteps
had died out Rose inquired, simply:
“Why did you do it, Jin?"
Rowan answered. carelessly:
“Oh, I’m just naturally a bad sort,
I guess! No great amount of char-
acter. I wanted money, and gam-
bling was the easiest way to get it.
“I don’t mention that. Why did
you come out here with father, the
way you did?”

climb out of the pit, when e no ic grave had been filled in he saw
ed a peculiar reddish tinge to the - -

a heaping shovelful of it and, de-
scending to the creek, he stamped
a hole through the ice and idly
“panned” it on the shovel blade.
He was engaged thus when
young Hayward and two of his
men approached. Jim rose and

Rose?"
“I’ll attend to that. She has
friends enough to see her through.”
“If I don’t duck, I suppose you’ll
tell her I’m a gambler and that I

for ten times what it’s worth.
That’ll certainly shock her.”
“Oh, you had a reason for that

about that luck of yours, isn’t?
Funny how everybody loses when
