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 />

trap door shut over bis head.<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 />

"('v-rUiir;ly not; but the. owner of this<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 />

under the ta.sk, but by a series of heroic<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 />

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 />
