know how to back out of it with fading light of day, and after awhile it widened into a valley. ‘Perhaps we had better camp here,” said the leader. ‘‘Our horses are nearly broken down, and every one of us, I suppose, feels the need of food and rest.” ‘‘Hain’t got much furder to go,” remarkcd Muggs. J ae eS Are you sure of what you are saying? Do you know this country as well as that?” ‘‘Reckon I ort to know it. kilated about here fur nuthin’.” ‘‘How far are we from Bet Rawson’s cabin?” ‘‘ Not more’n five mile, I should say.” ‘“Do you hear that, Mr. Herries? We have not more than five miles to go.” ‘‘Indeed I did hear it, Sam, and it made me jump.” ‘* We won’t think of camping here, then, but will move on and get there to-night.” ‘Of course we will. The thought that my wife may be in the power of that scoun- drel makes me tireless.” As they rode on down*the valley, Slevin suddenly stopped his horse and pointed ahead. ‘‘Seems to me that there’s a light down there,” he said. ‘‘Don’t you see it, Mr. Herries?” ‘“T think Ido. Right ahead of us.” ‘‘Smell o’ smoke, too,” observed Muggs. «‘Somebody’s built a fire,” ‘“That’s what it is, I suppose. to bother us, anyhow,” They had gone but a few steps further, when a rifle-shot startled the evening air. ’ It also startled Silver Sam and his party. ‘‘Come on!” he shouted. ‘‘That means mischief.” They rode toward the light as fast as their tired steeds would carry them. A riderless horse came galloping toward them, and was caught by one of the party. When they reached Jack Marvine’s camp, the light of the fire showed them the scene plainly. A man was lying on the ground, appar- ently dead, and near him were two mounted men, who were doing nothing, and seemed to be undecided what to do. : Jack Marvine had returned to his camp, had seized his rifle, and had taken his position at the side of Bet Rawson. Another woman was crouched on the ground near the fire. All looked up as Slevin’s party came clat- tering down the valley, and Jack Marvine and Bet Rawson raised their rifles as if ex- pecting a fresh foe. The woman near the fire sprung up with a cry of joy. ‘‘My husband!” she exclaimed. ‘Oh, Dick!” She ran forward feebly, but her spasmodic strength was soon exhausted, and she would have fallen had not Dick Herries sprung from his horse and caught her in his arms, The situation was speedily explained, first by Jack Marvine, and then more fully by Mei Herries and Bet Rawson. The latter female, however, was SY impressed by the presence of Muggs, wit whom she had a bone to pick, and was not slow to begin the picking. ‘ ‘‘ Where in thunder did you spring from, Beauty?” she indignantly demanded. ‘* You promised to come back to my shanty and help me out.” ‘‘Wasn’t I comin’?” he answered with a grin. ‘‘ You told me to look arter that chap, and I had to foller him up.” ‘‘T wanted ycu awful bad, Beauty.” ‘Wish I could ha’ been thar when you lit out. But I didn’t miss it by much: You ain’t more’n about five miles from your shanty now.” “ Do you mean that, Beauty? Have we not got five been travelin’ all this time ang miles from that biasted place? ‘‘That’s about the “et of it, missus.” ‘© Well, I’ll be durned!” Josh Cattermole and Alf Sanders acted as if they were in the wrong place, but did not any sort of 1 hain’t cir- Nothing credit. : Silver Sam noticed their embarrassment and helped them out of the caper of ‘‘ know you two scamps,” said he, * and I will know where to put you when I meet you again. You had better clear out of here CC Sts". i, sss Silver Sam, Detective. 29 before somebody gets mad and hurts you. You can bury your brother scoundrel before you go, or leave him to us, just as you please.” They decided to leave him, and silently sneaked away without the formality of say- ing good-by. As it was then useless to go on to Bet Raw- son’s cabin, the entire party spent the night at Jack Marvine’s camp. It was arranged that Silver Sam should hurry back to Whitewood to carry the good news to Kate Herries, leaving the rest of the party to come on slowly with the women. So he set out at daybreak the next morn- ing, mounted on Jack Marvine’s fresh horse, and accompanied by Muggs, whose pony had not learned what it was to get tired. The others followed at their leisure, two of the horses being given up to the women, while some of the men took turns at walk- ing. When they reached Whitewcod there was a joyful reunion, and Muggs was again made much of by all except Bet Rawson, who could not easily forgive him for the under- hand way in which he had got the best of her. | | , 50 Burt Bunker.

On the principle that ‘all's well that ends well,” her evil deeds were overlooked in con- sideration of the good she finally wrought. She forgave Muggs, and ultimately married Jack Marvine, and made him a good and useful wife. He proved to be the same Jack Marvine who had been the mutual friend of Angus Dameron and Jim Boggs, and he had in his possession the agreement which they had given to him for safe-keeping.

Abner Boggs; but that individual, though | regarded as undeserving, in time received a sum of money equal to the amount of the ‘*pile’? which his brother possessed at his death. The inheritance of Mrs. Herries was easi- ly settled and secured, without any unneces- ay delay. t came in time to be of much use to Kate when her husband, Sam Slevin, became a partner with her father in the mine. This happened through the death of Angus Dameron, who recovered before that event sufficiently to make a will, by which he di- rected the sale of his interest in the mine, and the payment of the purchase-money to his heirs at the East. So Silver Sam became a settled and solid citizen, and Muggs of “Muggsville continued to be his right-hand man and Kate's special favorite, THE END. BEADLE’S Half-Dime Library. 1 Deapwoop Dick.
