[Copyright. IS9B. by S. S. McClure.] CHAPTER XV.— Continued. A few inquiries informed him where Bowers had deposited,his source of sup plies, and he watched until the miner went for a fresh portion one evening'. Rider was helplessly intoxicated, and Bowers had been indulging freely him self. He placed a little pouch contain ing about S3OO in dust in his pocket, and reeled out in the darkness without the faintest thought of danger. A heavy blow behind the earsuddenly sent him to his knees, and a pair of strong hands grasped his throat at the same moment, but the owner had no easy task to accomplish his object. The realization of his danger fully sobered Bowers, and with a stilled curse lie tore the grip from his throat and gained his feet by main strength. It was too dark to see his assailant, but Hank Bowers was no coward, and instead of attempting to flee or call for help, he grappled silently with the would-be robber. It did not last long. Once his arms were about his enemy, Bowers was master of the situation. Inch by inch he bent the other back until human endurance could bear no more, and with a groan the man's muscles relaxed and he fell heavily with Bowers on top of him. “Struck a snag that t ime, didn't yer?” he demanded, grimly, seating himself on the other’s breas-t and holding his wrists so that he could not draw a weapon. “Let me up, blast yer!” was the sullen reply as the man tried in vain tomove. “Want ter get up? All right, pard. Jest remember I've got a gun agin yer ribs, though, an’ if yer don’t go all'quiet I’ll let a hole.through yer!” As he spoke he arose and allowed the man to do likewise, keeping a stout grip on hiscollar. Then he said, sternly: “Go on w here I push yer. I want ter see yer face.” A short walk brought, them to the tent where Eiderand Bow ers slept, and into this the latter conducted his pris oner and lit: a candle. The light showed the face of a man about 30 years, with ani expression of ferocity which was revolting, but Bow ers surveyed it with satisfaction as he asked: “Well, Mr. Man, what.made yer tackle me? Hard up?” “Yes.” The fellow gazed at him unflinching ly as he spoke. “I s’pose yer know I could come pret ty near hevin’ yer hung fer this job?” “Do it, d yer, an’ don’t, talk about it.” was the prompt repty. Bowers released his grip, produced a bottle of liquor from his pocket and held it toward his companion, saying: “Take a drink. You’re a man after my own heart, you be. You an’ I kin do business, I guess. How would jer like ter lay yer paws on a couple o’ hundred thou, all in dust an’ nuggets?” “What’s that yer saying?” replied the man, wiping his mouth on his coat sleeve as he lowered the bottle. “Are Jv. makin’gameof me or w hat the—” “Do I look like a chap that fooled?” snarled Bowers, angrily. “I ain’t thet kind. I know some chaps as has got a. few hundred pounds o’ the j ailer stuff all dug, an’ if 1 ha,d two or three good men they'd whack up the swag with me.” “I’m jer man!” exclaimed the other, looking him full in the eye. “I ain’t scared of a little blood. I’m desperate and I’ll join yer!” “Know another good man we cou!d trust?” asked Bowers. “I’ve got a white-livered cuss with me as I’m goin’ to cut loose from pretty quick. Three will be plenty ter do the job.” “Plenty ter divide with, too. Why can’t we manage it between us?” “Course we kin,” said Bowers, “an’ the fewer in it the better. Two good men. is better'n twenty fer such a job. Will yer stick ter me, no matter what happens?” “I never went back on a chum yet,” was the prompt reply. “All light. Now, what’s yer name, pard ?” “My name’s Turner.” “Wall, Turner, let's finish fliislieker the fust thing.” It did not take long to accomplish this, and then Bowers said: “I’ll furnish the outfit an' take yer where the game is ter be played. You git one-third of tlier swag an’ I git two thirds. That’s fair, ain’t it?” “I can’t kick on that.” “All right. Now we’ll git some sleep an’ to-morrer we'll see if thar’s any bosses ter be got. If I hadn't been a chump I'd. held on ter what I brought in with me when I come.” On the followin'* day, however, he took a different view of the matter. It would be impossible to start off on the trip without arousing the suspicions of Obed Eider, and Bow ers decided that he must be of the party. “He’s just the chap ter split on us if ►we happened ter have a scrimmage an’ thar was any fuss here over it. I dassent- leave him behind. We’ll take him an’ then he’ll hev ter keep his mouth shut when he’s in the same boat with us.” But after two days’ search he was unable to procure a single horse, so great was the demand, llis gold was running low besides, and at last he dared not wait any longer. Each man took as much provisions as he could carry on his bacl:, and, early one morn ing, they started over the trail, armed with rifles and revolvers. When they had proceeded a few miles on their way, Bowers said: “Now, pards, w“’re out. fer big game an’ we’ve got ter be mighty smart if we want ter come out all right. We’re likely ter meet some o’ the party we’re after any time. They can’t tote all ther dust in on their backs an’ then thar’s that girl. They must hev ’bout euuff by this time an’ they'll like enulf send one o’ the men ter Dyea after bosses fer the gang. See?” “That’s hoss sense,“ replied Turner. “Wall,” continued Bowers, “we must keep our eyes peeled thai we don’t let be seen by any sech man. Tnl spile everything if we do.” It was well for his plans that he did keep a sharp lookout, for before night he saw a speck far ahead on the trail which he knew at once to be a man. He was standing on the edge of a piece of woods, and his companions were behind him at the time. Stepping in the shad ow of the trees, he explaimed: “Thar’s a man cornin’, an’ I’ll bet it’s one o’ them we're after. He may hev seen me, an’ it won’t do fer us all ter hide. He won’t know you, Turner, You keep on an’ pass ther time o’ day with him. Yer bound fer the fort, jer know. Keep right on, an’ we’ll hide till he’s out o’ sight, then we’ll overtake yer.” Turner at once walked ahead, while his two companions secreted themselves in the underbrush. Thej" saw Turner stop and converse with the stranger a few moments', when the latter drew near them, and Bowers whispered: “It’s the man they call Taylor! He’s goin’ after bosses sure!” All unconscious of the proximity of the two men, Taylor tramped sturdily on, and was soon out of hearing in the woods. Then the two left their ambush and hurried after Turner, w ho awaited them far out on the plain. “What did he say?” inquired Bowers, eagerly. “Asked me ■where I was bound an’ whether there was any hosses ter be got In Dyea,” said Turner, who never seemed to waste a word. “I knew it!” declared Bowers. “Now all we’ve got ter do is find a, snug place this side wha.r the trail splits an’ take it easy till the dust is under our eyes. He’ll be back pretty quick if he gits any hosses an’ then, we won’t liev much longer ter wait.” Several days later saw them securely hidden in a piece of dense woods, but each day was divided into watches, when they took turns standingon sen tinel duty. From a knoll a short dis tance from the hut they had built, the trail was visible for fully a mile, and from daylight to dark they watched it closely. Their patience w r as rewarded when, late one afternoon, tvhej' saw Dick Taj lor riding along to. the north, leading a string of horses behind him. “Our time is most, up now,” said Bow ers, grimly. “He’ll fetch the mine by to-morrer. Them two chaps with him I've seen round Dyea. They’re rich chaps, I’ve heard. He’s picked ’em up an’ is goin’ ter sell out.” “How many will there be. of them?” asked Turner, “an;’ how’s the- trick ter be done when, they git here? D’yer reckon a. regular boldup, or what?” “We might do it in thet. way,” said Bowers, “an’ stan’ the risk o’ gittin’ “ Well, what made yer tackle me?” wiped out, but it won’t do ter risk it. There'll be too many of ’em. I’ve got a scheme I’m goin’ ter spring on ’em. Let's git back under cover an’ I’ll tell j-et. what it is.” When they reached their rude shel ter and lighted their pipes he outlined his plan, as follows: Upon, sighting the party Eider was to conceal himself in the woods near the hut. Bowers himself was to remain in the hut on the boughs which served him for abed, while Turner’s part was to meet, the travelers and play the role of a. decoy. “They all know my phiz,” said Bow ers, “an’ some o’ them knows Eider. You are the only one they don’t know. Os course, Taylor will remember meet in’ jer the other day when Im was goin’ in, an’ yer can. tell him you've met a chap as is shot himself by mistake, an’ i§ almost dead. Ask one of ’em ter eome an’ see if there’s any chance fer him, or sumthin’ like that, One of ’em is sure ter come, an’ w hen he gits in side the shanty we kin hold him up darned quick.” “But- what about th.e rest of tlhem?” asked Eider. “Why, jer chump, when this one don't, eome back it's ten ter one thet another feller’ll eome lookin’ arter him. an' we’ll fix him too. Then if the rest, don’t eome we'll go out with our guns all of a-sudden an.’ hold ’em up. We’ll take all tliar guns an’ horses an’ light out lively fer Dawson City. They’ll be sure we’ve gone ter Dyea an’ well git off clean with the gold. It’s Higher ter Dawson anyhow, then it. is ter Dyea. We kin. git down by water an’ then take ther steamer fer Seattle, while they’re lookin' fer us round Dyea or Skaguay. See?” “Great head,” said Turner, sen ten uously. while even Eider began to be impressed with the clever scheme. It was also 1 a great relief to know that there was to be no bloodshed, for, bad as he was, he had not the heart for such deeds when he was sober. After carefully discussing every phase of their villainous plot and ar ranging the details the trio’ stretched themselves on their rude beds and were soon sleeping as soundly as though no guilt rested on their minds. CHAPTER XVI. ROBBED. All unconscious of the snare, ahead of them, the successful gold hunters rode cheerfully along over the trail, their gold secured cn their animals and their filled with natural thanksgiving at their success. They were rich —rich beyond tlncir w ildest hopes, and it had all been done in a few short weeks. Thej" had registered their claims in Djea. btH there was considerable doubt whether t licj" were located in. American or British territorj - , as the boundary line was not exactty known. This, how ever. had been fairly explained to the purchasers, who declared their willing ness so take the risk. This the 3' could well afford to do, for tliej' had bought, the claims for about one-quarter their actual value, and were well aware of the iact. Thej' had onty to register them in Dawson also to make them selves safe. Their progress was. necessarily slow, for each horse carried not only a rider, but a large amount of gold as well. Where the trail was very rough, the men were for«ed to dismount at times, so that it was nearly night- on the second daj - when the part 3' drew near the piece of woods where Hank Bowers and his rascalty confederates were hidden Taj’lor was leading the way as they reached the first trees, where alreadj' the lengthening shadows were stretch ing across the trail. The others were stragglingalong behind him, while Tom and Clara Avery rode side bj- side in the rear. In fact this had already become his usual place, and his devotion was so apparent that the others had come to regard it as a foregone conclusion that the young couple had met. their fate in each other. Taylor was some ten j-ards ahead, of his party when suddenly a man hur ried out of the woods at his left and came directlj' tqward him, shouting: “Stranger! Hold on!” Checking in his horse, Taylor allowed the man to reach his horse’s side and then exelaimt’d: “Who are j’ou and what do j-ou want?” By this time the rest of the party had reached the spot and halted. “There’s a man back in the woods a little way here that is hurt bad,” re plied the newcomer. “Won’t one o’ j’er come an’ see if sumthin’ can’t be did fer him? He’s in a bad way.” Taylor looked hard at the stranger. He was apparentty about 40 years old, rather tall, a scar across his thin nose, which made his ejes seem close to gether. It. was not. a face to inspire confidence, but Dick Tajlor had not the slightest suspicion of danger as he asked: “Who is the man and where did he come from? What’s the matter with him?” “He’s a sailor sort of a chap an’ his horse throwed him, he says. Then his pardner skipped off an’ left him ter kick ther bucket alone.” As the man spoke Tajdor suddenly re membered his face. “Didn’t I meet j r ou not long ago on this trail?” he demanded. With a- well-assumed air of surprise the man drew nearer and stared at him a moment, then exclaimed: “Eight j’er are, stranger! Y'er was boun’ fer Dj'ea. afoot an’ I was cornin’ thiswaj*. Didn’t know j-er at first. Yes. I got ’long here an’ found this feller most dead. I knocked up a sort of a shantj’ in the bush an’ got him into it, but he’s dyin’ sure’s yer born.” “What’s his name?” asked Averjg “and who is he?” “Saj’s his name’s Eider. Obed —” “Obed Eider!” cried Tom and the second mate, slmultaneousty. “That’s it ! Dtyer know him ?” asked the stranger, looking at them with well feigned surprise. “The scoundrel!” cried Tom, jumping from his horse. “Come, Green, let’s go and see if it is realty him!” But- Avery spoke up at this point and said: “Hold on, boj r s! Don’t go rushing off like that! I don’t take much stock in this storj\ Suppose it is some sort of a trap? Eemember ivhat we are taking with us.” “It’s all right, boss,” urged the new comer. “You needn’t be scared o’ one man. This Eider begged me ter stay with him an’ I hadn’t ther heart t.er leave him. I wouldn’t leave a dog ter die in the bush alone. If j-er don’t, want ter come, all right, but I hoped j r er was men enuff fer that. I’m goin’ back ter him. He may be dead by this time.” “Where does jour man saj T he’s from?” demanded Tom, his anger melt ing away as he thought of his enemy dying miserably by himself in this wil derness. “ne says he’s from Djea. He had a pardner named Butters or some such name. He’s out- of his head sometimes an’ goes on ’bont a lot o’ gold an’ how some one’s goin’ ter git held up an’sech nonsense. Then lie’s got some papers an’ all he thinks about when he sees ’em is some gold mine an’ a chap named Scott,” “That settles it!” cried Tom. “Come on, Green, we’ll go.” Without waiting to hear another word the man turned on his heel and led the way among the stunted pines from whence he had emerged. Tom and Green followed him and the rest dis mounted to await their return. [TO BE CONTINUED ] MAN NEVER SATISFIED.

But a few years of college life, notwithstanding its freedom from care, and its delight ful friendships, cannot keep away the restlessness to get out into active life and to become a man of the world, tak ing part in its struggles and its progress.

The wicker and bamboo furniture has never been as attractive as it is this year. It comes in all colors and the strands of the material can he seen at the shops in a sufficient quantity to give an idea of the shade, and the furniture can then he ordered as de sired. Green, as alwaj's, is popular, the prettiest pieces being not in the solid green, but woven in geometrical designs. The broad swinging seats which are so delightful for. the piazza come in both wicker and bamboo. Comfortable cushions for them are made thin and rather hard, of straw, and, covered with some of the inex pensive Chinese or eastern cottons, they- are most attractive, saj-s the New York Times. Everj'thing shows the growing tendency of the American people to spend much of their time in the open air. Bound tables of wood eome with large umbrellas raised from the cen ter to keep off stray rajs of sun in taking tea on the lawn or to prevent the invasion of insect intruders. These tables are painted in pretty shades, and the umbrellas are made to match, or of white with hands of the color, and are finished around the edge with a deep fringe. Screens of wicker have shelves and pockets for work or books, and big chairs of the same material have shelves on the outside, where the lounger can collect his or her belong ings, to be reached without moving. A pretty two-sided wicker settle, similar in shape to those which are so attractive around the fireplace in winter, has a round table of wicker rising from the corner where the two sides join. These are all of green. Broad wooden seats are divided in half by a long, broad arm or table. These w-ooden seats are painted in anj r cool-looking color to suit the taste, and when upholstered wfith cushions for the back and seat are as pretty as they are comfortable. The hammock which is the most popular this year, and which people are already beginning to buy, is the pulley hammock, though that majr not be the actual name for it. This hammock has many' advantages. Across the center are several strips of wood, which make it possible, by dropping one end and raising the other, to have a comfortable loung ing chair. The hammock is verj' sim ply constructed, and is regulated with pulleys bj r the person occupying it. One convenience which many women will appreciate is the ease of getting in and out. To get in and out of an ordinary hammock with anything like grace is almost an impossibility. The hammock is strong, and is guaranteed to carry 600 pounds. NOVELTY IN SHIRT WAISTS. The Old Monotony Hus Entlrely Dls* appeared and New Ideas Ar< In Order. Never bcfoie have there been so manj r and such attractive styles in shirt waists as are evolved this season to please and clothe the feminine world. The old monotony in shirt waists has entirety disappeared, and there is simpty no limit to the varia tions in design and decoration. There is every conceivable kind and condi tion, from a simple cotton shirt to the most elegant model in real lace. The list includes tailor-made styles for golf, yachting, beach or mountain w r ear en suite, with simpty made skirts of shepherd’s check, squadron serge cheviot, Scotch tweed, etc., saj's the Washington Star. Smarter models for afternoon uses are of dimity, India silk, peau de soie, tucked India, mull with wide revers and sailor collar formed by finer lingerie tucks and insertions of Swiss embroidery. Demidress waists to wear with skirts of white costume cloth, veiling, gray and beige mohair, eolienne or drap de chine are made variously of plaited taffeta, peau de soie, liberty satin and foulard silk. Lastly are the lovely creations for dress uses which are called shirt waists, hut which are the most charm ing things that appear among the im ported accessories of summer. Some of them cost as much as complete costumes. Lustrous satins and silks are used in their composition, with lace bolero fronts, silk embroideries, lace and ribbon insertions, crepe de chine or India silk scarfs and draper ies, to say nothing of expensive buck les and buttons which complete some of the smartest French models. I INDIVIDUALITY IN TASTE. It May De Cultivated by Allowing the Boys nnd Girls Tlielr Own and Corners. Every girl ought to have a nook which is her own, and in which she can give full scope to her individual tastes and views. This is a boon which is bestowed too seldom on the young girl growing up at home. When she becomes a full-fledged young lady, of course, she has more liberty to arrange her surroundings to suit herself, but even where the daughters are grown women it is fre quently found their mother regards them as having no more right to an opinion than when they were tots in bibs and pinafores, says the Pitts burgh Press. Where a girl grows up under a rule like this it is almost in variably the ease that her views are narrow, her originality crushed out of existence, and an\* will she maj have twisted, into crooked ways. Nothing in the world helps a chi'd so much, hov or girl, as to have their own lit tle corners, where they can feel the blessed' sense of ownership without fear of reproof. If a gift is given to a little girl, she should he allowed to place it instead of having it added to the general possessions of the house. Then as she grows older she will de velop and improve, and when she takes possession of a home of her own she will at once fall into her proper position as mistress without feeling lost in a wilderness, as too many young brides do.

The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle, So That the People May Know Just What They Are Taking. Imitators do not advertise their formula knowing that you would not buy their medi cine if you knew what it contained. Grove’s contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives the malaria out of the system. Any reliable druggist will tell you that Grove’s is the Original and that all other so-called “Taste less” chill tonics are imitations. An analysis of other chill tonics shows that Grove’s is superior to all others in every respect. You are not experimenting when you take Grove’s—its superiority and excellence having long been established. Grove’s is the only Chill Cure sold throughout the entire malarial sections of the United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 50c. NOTEs—The records of the Paris Medicine Go*, St. Louis 9 show that over one and one-halt million bottles ol Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic were sold last year and the sales are continually increasing. The conclusion is inevitable that Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic is a pre scription for malaria having genuine merit, and any druggist or chemist will tell you so.
