THE OLD SILVER TRAIL.<br />
BY MARY E. STICKNEY.<br />
CHAPTER IX.<br />
The cluy before the trial Harvey<br />
appeared'at hLs lawyer's office witli a j<br />
fuze so eloquent of discovery that Bar- \<br />
tels at cuee exclaimed at sight of him:<br />
"Halloo! What's up?"<br />
"I believe the Grubstake folks hiivo<br />
iMtenshippingoutof theen joined "TOU ml<br />

with a sardonic smile, dropping 1 into a j<br />
chair, wearily. I<br />
"They have!" the tone attesting- the •<br />
attorney's appreciation of the impor-<br />
tance of the statement. "Ilow tve thou-<br />

Ten minutes later the bargain was<br />

Neil was proceeding down the ladder-<br />
way of the Grubstake mine, the heavy<br />
trap door shut over bis head.<br />
"Weil," exclaimed Daker's compan-<br />

PEEACHEE'S SWEETHEABT.<br />
\ light shoye from the open door of<br />
the low log structure that answered the<br />
double. purpose, of church-and school-<br />
house. The gleam fell upon the yellow-<br />
ish leaves of a pawpaw tree that stood<br />
close to the p;itJi that led to the door.<br />
Boyond the pawpaw was. an irregular<br />
mass that moved restlessly in the dark*<br />
ness. Observed closely it would have<br />
resolved itself iuto a number of<br />
horses tied to saplings, and stepping-'<br />
about noiselessly as they stretched<br />
their heads toward the tempting leaves<br />
beyond vheir reach.<br />
.Divine service was going' on in the<br />
log building, and the toues of the min-<br />
ister floated out i»to the. darkness in<br />
solemn cadence. Often they were in-<br />
terrupted by a dev;p-grunted "A-a-a-<br />
meu!" or "U-m-m-ahV Yas, Lord!" the<br />
manner in which many worshipers ex-<br />
pressed their approbation of. the<br />
preacher's utterances.' A mounted fig-<br />
ure came close to the shaft of light and<br />
dismounted. As he did so the stamping<br />
of the restless horses reached his; eavs.<br />
Noiselessly he made his horse fast to a<br />
redbud stem, and crept through the<br />
bushes to where the uneasy equines<br />
were tied.<br />
He passed from horse to horse, feel-<br />
ing 1 swiftly over each, as if in the dark-<br />
ness his hands were doing duty for<br />
an 1 offer $200 jist to huve uie a few<br />
Lours! That's reason, ain't it?"<br />
Suddenly a thought, seemed to strike<br />
him, and ht* brought or.e hard fittdenvu<br />
outhe table with a thump.<br />
"I'll do it, 1 will! lie. shall have like<br />
sweetheart., an' that r.-.irrlny quick."<br />
It w;is after midnight when the<br />
preacher returned, and it .seemed to the<br />
other that lie looked paler am) limped<br />
liiorc painfully than usual.<br />
"My friend," the pivaeher wiirt, prei>-<br />

'"\Y'y?" asked the iixvaiid; "a;v ye<br />

"('v-rUiir;ly not; but the. owner of this<br />
house'has warned me to leave because<br />

"What'11 ye do now'?"<br />
"I. do iio:. know. Doubtless I'll sec<br />
my way out of it all, but 1 w," said Harris,stonily, "IFrddcn,<br />

An hour after, the pale.-faord preach-<br />

slouch hat had fallen from his head,<br />
and tho blood from a long wound across<br />
Lis forehead hail soaked hi.-:, matted hair.<br />
1'he preacher's slight form staggered<br />
under the ta.sk, but by a series of heroic<br />
effort J? he n:an:rged to convey the uncon-<br />
scious man to the littk? log hut;where<br />
he lived alone. It was tna4iy days be-<br />

•"irl's checks wore<br />
her eyes held happiness, as she sat by<br />
ihe schoolroom table, with the piled-<br />
up work bucket neglected before her,<br />
and read the words a^ain and again.<br />
A::d flu- day;-; and the weeks and the<br />
niontiif; ;I:H1 the years pa-sscd on, and<br />
tiie pile of love letters .which came to<br />
the ^ill grew in bulk. Sometimct; they<br />
were despondent, sometimes cheerful,<br />
•fsomctimes iiunied, sometimes tender<br />
jind rsoinef imes the treasured space was<br />
overfull of descriptions of new friends<br />
or strange places. ]!ut the letters never<br />
failed to come, nud the man never failed<br />
to long- for the riches which could brir.£"<br />
him to the girl's side and make life<br />
hr.ijpy for them.<br />
And the. fjirl longed and longed that<br />
::he jnijLrht iiieet !ier lover, if only for a<br />
day; t hat they might, look in.ro each oth-<br />
er's i'aco, and, renewing hope, might<br />
start afresh. Some cynic told her tiiat<br />
love was flettinjr, a C[iiesti6n merely of<br />
propinquity; but that cynic had not<br />
really meant to bruise the g-irP;; endear-<br />
ing ln;art. I*eside.s. the cynicism ~vas<br />
not always true, for this girl's love*<br />
was strong: as ever—stronger. Why<br />
should not the man's be the same? He<br />
was better equipped for fighting*doubts<br />
and feurs. But the waiting was bitter-<br />
ly long.<br />
At last, when, endurance was becom-<br />
ing a habit, there came a shock—a shock<br />
of joy. Just a business matter, ju&t<br />
money, just repentance to tlie amount<br />
of five hundred a year out of an erst-<br />
while unforgiving uncle. But £500 a<br />
year to a little governess, to a waiting<br />
lover! It was ecstasy.<br />
The schoolroom was as paradise that<br />
morning; the vo;ces of the children as<br />
angels' so-ngs. For the waiting, the<br />
drudgery, the anxiety were orcr. Bliss<br />
lay within a blue envelope; joy was in-<br />
scribed in straight lines of copper-<br />
plate* ealigraphy. But the girl utterwl<br />
no word of happiness; it seemed too<br />
wonderful, and she wanted to realize 5t,<br />
and think.<br />
A deed of gift. An anonymous deed<br />
of gift—that would be the thing, the<br />
girl decided. She would not keep one<br />
penny of it back. There seemed some-<br />
thing calculating aiid mercenary in set-<br />
ting aside part for herself; besides, it<br />
would be all the same in. the end. A<br />
deed of gift oi £500 a year to Bertie!<br />
It was worth all the waiting and the<br />
pain and the work. This wt»s her re-<br />
ward.<br />
So the girl carried out her secrrt<br />
plans witii a light heart and a happy<br />
brow, and the. joyful message went<br />
across tho sea to the road, in the copper-<br />
plate caiigrapby of the lawyer's clerk;<br />
while the; girl herself—in the willful-<br />
ness of i\ear blisfi—sent over thn SAT<br />
niso just a scr^>py little letter, tin:<br />
most nintt-er-of-faet she had over .turous an-<br />
gnif-i., ::s «Ue })kturet( lier lover's plc:!:;-<br />
tire jiU'.l endun'd all the ininutes whu'h<br />
were boun-.l to jiiiss before she would<br />
•receiw a sign^<br />
"What will bo say? Will it lw WD:I-<br />
der?. Will it be only happiness? Will<br />
it be--him.*ielf?"'<br />
At la^t it cany—the first sign of her<br />
sacrifice. It \v.is a better, rather short,<br />
because written in a ...hurry by a busy<br />
m:in; and the girl was able to read it in<br />
the ton minutes which tvere hers hofo'iv<br />
morning lessons:<br />
"Drarest t*rs*a(.;it T2t!3 Setter wi!l be only<br />
