"That's exactly what I moan, Jack,"
Iko replied.

Thn Poverty Gap minora had been

Cluim-juuiping was a heinouit crimo

"That's jest what wo will," replied
llonuott, "nu wo don't do no talkin'

When thoy eamo within sight of tho

They woio jnst starting mound to the

"Wlutdoo ho mean by it?" aikcd ;
Ike.
"Look hero, fellers'" onelaimed llon
uott, "don't you know nothin'? Thar j
ain't no fuller in thar, an' that
ain't no man a talking. It's a woman,

"What?" oxclaitnod Jack.
"I say it's a wo..ian," repealed Hon-

Uonnott led tho way into tho cabin,
and there, strotched on tho ground bo
foro tho lire, was su ro anougli tho form
of a woman.
Tho only light in tho cabin was that
of tho tiro, and it eamo in litful llutturs,
rovoaling but dimly tho outstretched
form.
The tuon tiptnod softly in, and ap
proaching ipnlo oloio, caught a glimpse
of tho woman's face
It was young and handnoino, though
strangoly wliito 0 id pinched.
Tho oyos woro ulosud as if in sloop
and tho lips kept moving, as though
thoy woro whispering something.
"l'ollors, klio's asleep, I reokon," Jack
said.
" 'Pears to be." said Iko. "Wonder
if wo hadn't hotter wako 'cr up, Uon
nott?" "S'poto so," Ilennott replied, and ho
bent and gently shook her.
Sho opened hor oyo and looked va
cantly about, and at last living thorn on
Dennett said:
"Is ho horo?"
"Is who horo?" lionuctt asked.
"Joe, has J10 corao? I thought I
heard his voico."
"WhoiaJoo?" and tho old miner's
voico grow wonderfully soft and gentlo.
Instead of answering tho girl began
to talk of something olio, and her words
wore half unintelligible.
"lloys.'knid Bennett, "sho's out o' her
head, an' I expect may bo in a bad tlx.
Wo ort to do souiuthlu' for hor."
"Ought to have a doctor! And if
you fellers will stay horo," said Ike,
"I'll go down to th post and get 0110.
Wonder who this Joe is that she talks
about?"
"Don't know. Heokon maybe sho's
jest droamiii' or somothin'," replied
liuunott. "Hotter hustlo along if yer
going for a dpeK "
Just thou 0110 of tho men noticed a
slip of pat, or o'onehod tightly in tho
girl's hand, and Dennett took it from
her.
"It's jost a name, I reckon," said ho
altera futilo otl'ort to read it. "Hero,
Ike, you're tho only soholar among us;
you take it au' seo what you Kin llpgor
out of it."
Iko gave it a glanco and said:
"It's tho namo o' that follor sho's
talking about .Too Johnson nml ho

Take caro of
hor boys, and I'll go for tho doctor."
Tho now day was beginning to break
when, after a long, (odious wait tho
minors iu tho cabin hoard tho clatter of
horsos' feet down tho gulch, and Ike and
the doctor came in sight.
They woio accompanied by a third
purson a young man, veil drossod and
of good appearance.
"You wn.a mighty long time gittin'
back, Ike,' old Jack said whon they
eamo up,
"Yes, took a good while to run onto
tha't young chap."
"That young chap," old Jack said.
"Who's ho, anyhow?"
"Why, man, that's JooJoo Johnson
you know tho chap the girl was going
on about."
"Why, whoro did you striko linn?"
"Hun on to him down at tho post.
You know that papor Raid ho was down
there, and I thought, from tho way tho
girl took 011 'bout him, that sho wanted
to seo him powoiful bad, so I hunted
him up. He's hor swuotheart, Jack."
"Is that bo? Well, I fancied ho must
bo somothin' o' tho sort."
Joe's presence and tho doctor's at
tention soon brought a chango in tho
condition of tho girl, and sho rallied
fast.
Thoro w as not much ailing her ox
copt that sho wis worn out with walk
ing and overcome with anxiety, and two
or tinea days after sho was removed to
tho camp at Poverty's Gap sho was able
to walk about with Joo's support.
Tho minors had randered her nil tho ,
nsbistauco in their uovvur. and vied with
tho others in trjing to do tho most,
One evening Jack and Iko llounott
wont up ami had n long talk with the
girl, and Joe, and when it was over and
thev came down to tho saloon whoro
thoir companions wore, llonuott paid.
"Hoys, titer's a claimant for tho LiiUi

"A what?" ono of them oried.
"A person that layi claim to Lira

wo'll havo to give it up."
"Dennett, nir you gono crazy? Give
up that mine? What yor moan?"
"Mean what I say. Liza Jano is
claimed, nud it looks moutily liko tho
0110 that claims it has a right to it.
Anyhow, thnr's the papers to show for
it."
"lllnmo tho papers," said ono of
them. "Wo'vo got possession, an' I
luaken kin hold it agin any feller what

"Dut the law, Jake-"
"Haint all tho law wo'vo got a ropo
an' a tieo? Jiut lot tho feller that

"S'i -ise itaiut a chap that sets up tho

"Then who In tho intion can it be?''
"Why, U'h n gal, Jake, an' tho hard

"A gal?" nld Jako iu surprise, "'ion

"Dut 1 do. I oxaclly mean tho gal

Hoss, an' sho's old Andy Iloas's daugh

"Wal, how iloei the gal conio to be

"Why, this Joo Is tho gal's swoot

1'or a moment no 0110 spoke, then old
Jako arose, nud plauting himself llrnily,
said :
"l'ollors, yor kin all say iff yor1
plca'a, but I say that tho mine's that

"Mo, too, you bet," sounded from
overy quarter; and Jake want on;
"1 am hard up, boy," said ho "but
by jingo, I'll rough it out an go on

good a gal as that."
"Thon tho claim's hur'n," said Ike,
"an we'll protoct hor in it."
"You can put us right down thar,

A day or two later Joo and Miss Hoss
