4; strange friendship. Maitland left /*<@ Speed playing Bolo with two other . _ men and wandered forward, to be sharply recalled by the report of the ‘" _‘ pistol and the news that his partner s PA without second thought. But the cold waters got him, and in the end it was Bpeed who did the rescuing, holding Bd‘s head above the boat by a French fisherman from Seattle. Maitland knowing the sea, took charge of. the littfe boat when they persuaded Frenchy to take them to Bkagway. After a hard journey they reached Skagway where they find a ship unjoading miners and horses. had been shot and had gone. overâ€" wheolor "George BR @tarr," on lts way to the Yukon gold feilds in the Orst rush of ‘97, Bpood Malone, exâ€" perionced goldâ€"camp follower and gambier, and young Kd Maitiand, on hip frst trip, trying to recoup his Maitland had been too interested in their progress to notice the "Suâ€" sette‘s" approach to the steamer, which was now close abeam. The name ‘beneath her stern rail was the "Williamette, San Francisco". Her passengers were wailing to have their outfits landed. "See ye ashore," laughed Speed from the water. Hauling along the rope to the bromco‘s head, he caught its tail with the other hand, and used this as a rudder to steer it shorewards. while he swam alongâ€" Oddly, the first to observe that the ‘Susette" rode high and empty was a sort, fat fellow. ‘"Hey, wit that boat!" he called out. "My outfit for how much you want to land it? Five dollars?" As Maitland ran under the ship‘s ehadow and moored to the raft a tinkling laugh from the rail above caused him to look up. Hie, eyes met the dancing dark ones of a very beauâ€" tiful young woman who was looking down at him with an exp@ession haHWâ€"amused and halfâ€"curious © He had an oddly confused sensailon, with the Susette‘s lift and fall in the shadow of the immobile steamer, This mention: of Frenchy‘s favorâ€" ite coin brought the fisherman out of a coma; he gave eager signs of assent. Simultaneously on the lightâ€" er, there was a general reaching for purses and bank rolls. A bangle on her arm struck a <rystal flaeh from the sun, as she raieed her hand from the rail and blew him a kiss mischievously from rosy fingerâ€"tipe. "The gesture was noticed by a tall, heavily built man who stood on the rail directing unloading of the horses â€"a man with the eagle poise of a leader and a masterful look of powâ€" er under easy command. ‘His handâ€" some face had been burned ‘by the sun to the color of saddle leather, and its swarthiness gave an insolent aharpness of blue to his eyes. while it dimmed the black brows that ran in a bar thoughtfully at the new arâ€" rival. The men on the lighter looked like veteran prospectors, and their skilfully corded packe told the same story. One of themâ€"a meager, grayâ€" haired but wiry oldâ€"timer, shifted a huge tobacco quid in his cheek as he took one end of a pack Maitland was swinging, and said, "Pretty piece of herdin‘ you boys done out that."

Pete The young Nevadan did not anâ€" swer directly. He signalied to someâ€" one on the deck above, and a fittle liter a black mare came down in the wling, her nose quivering at the hrine below. She took it in a churn of wpray. but quieted under the boy‘s firm touch. He unhooked ber and heid her for a ~moment by the halter, stroking her «ilky neck The mare was snorting and strugâ€" gling to keep her nose above water. A brandyâ€"faced man in a sheepâ€" «kin coat whom Maitland had not noâ€" ticed ‘before. came suddenly to life and crossed the eswaying raft in two unsteady strides. Then, with a move so ewift that it was accomplished almost before it was seen, he left the raft for the mare‘e back. and they shot away into sunlit water. out The ‘boy paid no heed. He was drenched to the belt but riding lightâ€" ly, leaning forward to even the balâ€" ance and guiding the mare with a loop of the halter rope oyer her nose. "Head him off with your boat," the man appealed to ‘Maitland. "He‘ll drown hisself." Maitland left Frenchy to take in the "Susette" and her cargo, and cast off in the dinghy with a shove of an car againet the raft. Troubled by the tide awell, the mare was meetâ€" ing every rise at an angle that brought the water to her master‘s shoulders‘ snorting and strangling in an effort to keep her nose out of the weathering crests. Maitland pulled in nearer. The boy‘s head was close to the mare‘s, wet mane and hair contrasting gold and black in the sunlight. The tenâ€" sion of his voice seemed to lift her. ‘The beach . . . on‘y a little way, eweetheart â€" over this one, Chiquiâ€" ta, over it . . . good girl, over it!" The mure labored up another forming hill but flagged with exâ€" hanstion at the crest. They were still eome eighty yarde from shore and the beach was steep. A few strong pulls shot the boat forward till it topped the eame swell. Maitland meant to run alongside and lift the rider off, but this was forâ€" getling the thrashing for a f00tâ€" hold. The boat caught the inspact of one hoof on the prow. It rocked crazily as Maitland epun it within reach of the boy‘s arm. But Pete was tugging at the halter rope, to turn the mare‘s head. "Keep that damned boat out of my way," he swore, "or byâ€"* The words were rudely stiflied by a comber that smoked ‘over his head, rolling him and his mount comâ€" pletely over. The mare came up riderless. Catching the halter, Maitâ€" land pulled her astern, afraid that he hooves might strike the ‘boy‘s It‘s Come back here, Pete," he called been done, Mister," eald DIXIE DUGAN ‘ weter he reached Gor it; ‘Tangled Ms Anger in & mop of hatr aud pulled the head sabove water. Pete gasped, and helid the rail a moment to get his breath. Then he swung over as steadily as if he were u:mlm.mw# a in the water that washed along the floorboards. He raised himself to the thwart, shaking the wet hair from his eyes, hoad. Soeing a gleam of "Grab that baling dippor," said Maitland shortly. He had pushed an car into the stern groove and was holding the mare‘s haiter with his free hand while he scutled shore wards. After a look at the rising waâ€" ter, Péte complied. It was slow work, but they beached in advance of other boats that were coming in from the ship. As the mare climbed the=graâ€" vel and shook herself, her master jumped lightly ashore. He was drainâ€" ing the water from his boots when Maittand pulled up the dinghy. which were blazsing The sudden landing on still ground made the sailor conscious of the efâ€" feets of a week‘s starvation. He felt the beach reel, and had to steady himself against the boat. ‘Then he tippod it on its side to examine the injured seam. namite." "Ain‘t it so," Pete concurred judiâ€" ciously. "It‘s deafenin‘ to think of what might happen if Rose really cured about any man. Unless maybe me. But she don‘t." He looked inâ€" side the boat to note the effect of this. "How‘ver, I don‘t care a hoot in hell for Roseâ€"not me," he chantâ€" ed, snapping his fingers lightly skyâ€" wards. "I‘m a man among men." A pair of trimly shod feet presentâ€" Iv appeared on the sand beside him and he looked up. > "My name‘s Pete," the boy volunâ€" teered. "The man with the woolly coat is my pardner, Bill Owens. The girl that throwed you a kiss‘s name is Rose . . . But I reckon you don‘t care about women?" he inquired, unâ€" dismayed by the sitence that greetâ€" ed these amenities. "My partner," said Maitland at lust, "thinks they‘re a hot bolt in dyâ€" "Why don‘t you cuss me out and kel it off your mind?" the boy deâ€" manded. "I mean it. Say what you‘re thinkin‘, man to man." "You swear like one," his hearer admitted. Maitland stared after them, held by the grace of the horse and rider. Maitland considered him while cleaning his hands on some shreds of thpe. "Well", he said, " man to man, you make a lot of noise for your size lt‘s a pity you squawk when you lose." Pete winced. ‘"That‘s a hard cuse," he murmured. "What else?" With the mare‘s halter rope, Pete threw a skilful hitch over her nose, and mounted‘ almost in the same movement. "That‘s all," said Maitland, éurâ€" prised by a glimpse of sensitiveness under the boyieh ewagget. "If 1 don‘t lose easy, Mister, 1 don‘t quit easy either, or forget. Maybe some day you‘ll know it‘s a0." And with no visible urge from him, the mare eped down the beach. "We got the Jew‘s outft ashore, and he‘s stakin us to a feed. CThuck‘s on the fire now. Hungry, Bud ?" Maitland «tared after them, held by the grace of the picture they made, and by wonder at the quick moods of this amazing boy. He was still watching him when he saw Speed coming over the beach toward him.

Since this seemed an opâ€" | portune time to look for it, he asked the fisherman‘s permission to use the ‘"Susette" for a short run to the Dyea |beach a few miles up the gulf.

Shivering over the camp fire, Steiner ‘thoughtfully appraised the appetites of his guests. "I could use you boys, maybe," he said referring to some point he had discussed with Speed, ‘"but ten dollars a day each, and grub ... I ain‘t king of the Klondike." ‘‘This isn‘t Seattle," eald Speed: "It‘s a gold camp. You‘ll see wages go to Lwice that and more." _ _ â€" The Jew‘s look was one of sincere unbelief.

"L notice how Lucky Rose has a mash on you. Seen her throwin‘ you kisses from the ship." Speed had been about to lower a nicely browned slke of bacon into his mouth in one plece. He paused now with this viand euspended. over some boats and a scow that rocked in the wharf‘s vague shadow, and made sail. It was only six miles or so from Skagway to the camp of Dyea. ‘When he arrived there the camp was almost empty, because of an interval between steamers. He was therefore able to learn with disâ€" couraging promptness that there was no trace of an unclaimed outfit on the beach. ‘Coming back to Skagway the fires on the flate had died to their embers, but as he tacked in to the "Busette‘s" mooring, he noticed a sma) fire in the lee of the wharf, just above the eurf.
