Thirty mile* up the river, at Hamburg Bar, was a pbVHicisii who had gained a local reputation in the treatment of this dread disease. It was Jwd dusk and raining fast, when Yorker snddeulv rose tnmi his seal by »h© sick man's bunk, and said, abruptly "lb»ys, I'm coin

Tlien the trail descended suddenly lor tbe last time, and, widening to a road, swept Into the town lying in ghostly silence.

Finally, removing tbe oeavy saddle, Yorker by deft, touch, examined tbe beast's back. Rubbing it with tbe sleeve of bis rough coat, he said, cheerfully "AU right, old gal! You're tbe boas cayuse, and with a hearty slap of commendation. which the tough little beast borestolcauy, be left tbe stable.
Making bis way at once to tbe doctor's cabin, Yorker thundered on tbe 'door. It was quickly opened, aud a brief colloquy ensued. "In two hours, then," finally said Yorker. "All right. Will meet you at the hotel/' and the door closed.
U.
The day bad broken, and a few stragglers, momentarily increasing in numbers, were making* their way to the hotel for tbe matutinal substance—liquid, of course. But few knew or rec««iiiw!d the mud-splashed man who sat with bis head bowed nearly to his chost. Sleepily tho bostler lounged in for an "eye-open-er." Yorker roused to give directions regarding some oats for bis cayuse, and then sank back again, aud, with stolid indifference to the noise steadily increasing about him, dozed until summoned to breakfast.
Eight o'clock saw the two inen ride away from tbe bar. Two o'clock found tbeiu by the sick man's side. "Pretty badly used up,' said the doetor, laying his ringer gently on the swollen wrist, in which tho fevered pulse leaped and surged. "Doc, euro him and name your aggers. I'll cover it to the limit of my pile." "I think I can have him around in a
A tiash of joy irradiated Yorker's face, and a deep sigh of relief told of the fears which had tilled his true heart. Grasping the doctor's baud with painful earnestueso, Yorker turned away. The doctor's prediction was not au over-couti-dentone. How could he succeed in so short a time? Briefly, salicylic acid did it. You doubt It? May you never have to prove it. The fact remains thai, at tho end of a week, Wade was convalescent. The surgeon left at the end of two days. "Now, understand me, Mr. Wade, said he, upou leaving, "no more mining this season. Quiet and rest, with a trip to Yreka wheu you feel able to stand so loug a jouruey. DrlnK very moderately and smoke in proportion. Live well, and keep up your spirits. Good-bye." And he stepped carefully into tho canoe Yorker held for him.
Wade followed the directions in all particulars, except the last—ho did not koep up his spirits. It was no easy matter, pusstng long days of enforced idleness while the rain fell with that apparently eternal persistence, gliding down from thu gray mist which spanned the goige. day after day, till earth aud rock, tree and shrub, everything in naturo bore that desolato aspect so trying to the cheeriest disposition.
Hitting at the door of tho cabin, Wade watchcd with listless, moody eye the drop* aa tho splashed sullenly into the yellow Hood and wore whirled awav, ami he felt almost tempted to plunge in and court oblivion from self. Now aud then he would crawl down to the claim and watch the work, at first even trying to do a little himself. But that idea l:e soon gave up. His dlorts were rewarded by such pigmy-liko result that sbatno kept him idle.
Yorker was a host during those dark days always cheerful, submitting to tho sick man's* caprices with a rare patience, which seemed almost to have an element of expiation in it, so guarded and gentle was It lieguiliug the long eveninga with his many adventure planning more pleasures for both when the season should have closed, and Wade be able to travel always on the lookout for some bit of news to interest a sick man's fancy, even giving up his excluslveness and cultivating men who would be companionable to Wade.
Regularly be sot aside Wade's half of the "clean-ups" and the pile grew and grew. Yorker's did not increase in in'!", however.

and arranging with an almost womanly care. Noon came,but Wade did n»t. Yorker stood at tho door, looking *croas the river and down tbe trail for tl.e familiar figure. He advanced to the Ige of the ledge, and stood watching ue yellow water. It was rising rapidly. It was evident from the brushwood, and huge logs, and tree-trunks, which from time to time came sweeping by. A splash of rain fell upon his band. He looked up quickly aud saw that tbe sky was dark and lowering. Another drop fell upon bis cheek it wan warm, and vyts followed by others quickly. "Too late!" muttered Yorker. "I wish the youngster would come. It's liketo be hard gittin' over the river afore night.''

rain was falling heavily now, and
tbe wind, which baa risen, drove it in sh
barp, wavering lines across the yellow ooa, which grew darker and more turbulent as tbe bours passed. "It's been rainin' for all that's out up tbe river, I'll bet my life. That water never came from this shower. Old Klamath will be a bolp terror by mornin', if It keeps up this lick. It's gittin' dark fast. I wish that Wade would come. What in thunder can bea-keepiu' him?" and Yorker blew tbe smoke from bia lips impatiently. A faint halloo seemed to answer his qnerv, and, hastening to tbe edge of tbe ledge, be could faintly discern a figure on tbe opposite bank. "Thank God, it's the boy!" exclaimed be, fervently, and, hastening to tbe canoe, be pushed off, and with no littlo difficulty gained the opposite shore. "I'm glad that you're here, pard. An hour later an' I doubt if I could have made the rilfle. The old Klauiatli is boomin', for a fact*"
Wade made no reply, and Yorker, looking at bim more closely, saw that his eyes were bright with power and oxcitement, and his lip-* bad a new expression of firmness aim energy about them. He looked older and sterner, and no trace of his recent physical weakness was evident. When the canoe touched the bar, he sprang out, aud strode a-vay up the trail with a quick, nerxous step, porker watched him uneasily, muttering: "What tbe devil has come to the boy? Reckon be has been at the tarau-tula-juice."
The river was rising fast, and log, and trunk, and stump followed each other in quick suciession. Herenrui there fragments of Humes, wheels, aud ciibs showed that the bars above were being rapidly submerged. Now' and then some huge tree would dash madly against the ledge, and, sullenly rebounding from the dull shock amid a shower of spray, surge back, and be whirled away iu tbe gloom.
It was quite dark when Yoi ker entered the cabin. -Wade was ]jacing restlessly to and fro, and looked up quickly, saying "Is this likely to delay our trip much, Yorker?"
Thero was something sharp, almost fierce, in his voice, a»id he paused, anxiously awaiting an answer. "Wall, pard, I'm afeard wo won't git off much under a week," replied Yorker, tilling his pipe. Wade scowlv blackly, and resumed Ills restless tramp. Yorker sat down and smoked silently. At length spoke Wade in a voice of sup-
rcan't
ressedexcitement: "By heaven, Yorker! remain here idle for a whole week —I must get away somenow! Must, do you hear? "Why,pard, wliat'scomotoyei? Have yor had a row in camp?" suid Yorker, anxiously. "No nothing of the kind. By heaven, Yorker! I can hardly tell you what is the matter. I am nearly mml, I believe. It's about Charley,' then, wilh it sudden burst of rage: "Mv God! to think that he was murdered! Murdered, and yet not avenged. Shot like a dog, and by a man who owed him everything. But I swear, by Almighty God, that 1 will follow that hound to tho ends of the earth, and I will have his life."
How did you hear of it, pard?" asked Yorker huskily. "Met a man to-day, who was in Saeramonto at the time, and knew of tho wliolo affair." Then, turning suddenly upon his friend, he asked sharply: "Where were you, Yorker, wheu Charley died? "I—I was sick myself In .Sacramento." "But you must have known something about the affair?" "Yes, paid. I did know about it." "You knew all altout it, and have kept mo in ignorance all these months, while that hound still lives? You, a friend of Charley, and you let that black-hearted scoundrel escape your vengenee? My God, what friendship Curse all such!", "1'ard, perhaps yer ain't altogether got tho rights o' thai affair," said Yorker, gently.
One dsv in wly spring the weather heavily against tbe stone chimney. He suddenly "changed, and a heavy tall of snow whitened the SisMyous, aud .drafted thehl-la with ermine. The miners on the river bars looked anxious. A *udden melting of tbe snow^ would raise all the stream*", and the Klamath would "boom." If so, good-bye to work. A sudden rise would flood all diggings, and wash away flumes, wheel*, and wingdama. Renewed activity too* possewion of tbe cuinp. Immediate steps lor a general "clean-up" were taken.
The result of the season was roost satisfactory. Wades share bad grown from hundred* to thousand*. He had uttered a protest when the result waa made known to him: but Yoiker'aiemonr»nceand his own indifference settled the matter quietly.
1
"Rightfc? No, by God, I have not, but let mo but once meet this Ewiug and I will have,'' returned Wade, wilh sinister meaning, ami going to the locker he poured out a full glass of whisky. Yorker rose hastily. "No more of that stuff to-night, for God's sake,pard! 'aud he advanced as if enforce a command. Wade looked him over contemptuously, and deliberately emptied tbe glass. Yorker flushed and turned awav Thero was a hardening of the stern linesabout his mouth, aud something of despair in his eyes as be resumed his seat by the fl«e. "Wade paced the cabin with restlew, unsteady stride. Tbe fiery liquor was doing its work rapidly. 'To-morrow I sta rt. l)o yon what you cbo*e."«aitl he, ssvdgelv.
Yorker rose slowly wnd stood leaning
\ery pale, and there was a hunted look in his eye*. His voi«-esohnded dry and old as be said, {willfully: "Pard. I will help you to find-thi Kwlng. I—I know bim— I know wbar bo is!

Wade whirled around ami exclaimed: "Your hand on that, Yorker. I waa wrong: forgive me." and bo advan«*d with extended hand. But Yorker shrank from him, and stretched out his arm as if to avert an attack. "Wait, purd." said ho. huskily. Then by a supreme effort he drew himself together, and. looking Wade fall in tbe eves, said, simplv: "••Pard, I am your fisittl."
Wa'Te suddenly recoiled from him— doubt, dread, rage depicted on his face. "Yon? You are the man who killed my brother?" •\*od help me 1 I am."
A v-b of sudden fury, of terrible exultati- sprang Into Wade's eyes. He was wild with race and liquor.

he bunk, be pressed his hand to his ireast and sank into a chair, slipping hence to the ground, where he lay white nth agony. Wade was sobered now, ut a sense of stern justice had succeedfd his wild ruge. He advanced and knelt by tbe wounded man's side. A blood-stsined hole in the breast of tbe blue shirt showed where the bullet had entered.

to himself. "Yes, pard, you've called in my checks, for a fact," murmured Yorker, faintly.
Wade tore up some linen and tried to baudage tbe wound. Tbe bleeding was slight—fatal sign, malting a pallet on the floor near the fire, he helped Yorker to it threw some bark on tbe failing embers, and then gloomily sat down by his companions side.
His brain was in a whirl. A year seemed to have passed since that morning. Justice! Vengeauce! Tbe two words were burned on his brain. Justice Yes, he bad it but what a cost— the death of his frieud Stay, not his friend. The murderer of his* brother, and the hard lines settled about tbe stem mouth once more. Vengeance! Yes, be bad avenged his brother, even by the sacrifice of bis friend. That he baa sacritied his frieud to bis sense of duty, seemed^to breathe an element of comfort into the horrible reality of his a^t. He strove to feel that be was but a blind instrument in the hands of ail avenging fate. Pitiful fool!
A terrible silence seemed to breed over them as the minutes slipped by. The rain pattered ceasely upon the roof, and the river hoarsely murmured out in the night.
The wounded man breathed fitfully and moved restlessly. Some assistance must be obtained, and at once. Wade leaned over bis companion, and said, geritlv "Yorker. I must go for help. lean not let yon die in this old-blooded manner."
Yorker opened bis'eyes suddenly. GraspintrWade's hand, he said eagerly: "Not yet, oh, not yet, pard. Don't leave me I've sot sonief bin' to tell yer, pard, if yer 11 let me. Thore ain't no one *an lielp me—I'm dowiuto hard-pan an workin' out fast." Then turning his wau face so that ho might waich his companion's, and gently holding his passive hand, ho said: "Pard, won't yer let me giVe you the rights of this unfortunate a
Hair I'll allow that you've got
your lights: but, pard, I want mine. Gloomily resting his head on his disengaged hand, Wade assented, and Yorker continued "Pard, I'll allow that yer brother was a white Miftti, an'staked me wheu I was fiat broke au* cleaned out. He took me up in Colorado, in '.W, wbon the Pike's Peak excitemont had busted me, and put up the dust to take us both to Californy. Thur we w'ent to ininin' on the American river, an' struck it rich. We worked for all that was out thntseason, made our pile, an'cleaned out our claim. Then we made a break for Sacramento, intendin' to have a regular tear so long as the dust held out. We wasgoin'to 'Fris(K), to take in the town an' show 'em how to Live. Well, pard, we struck Sacramento in the fall of W.l, an' it was a lively camp and you hoar uie!
