CHAPTER II.— Contim ki».
Picking up the weapon, Darrel
pressed a spring and turned th,* barrel
down, revealing the cylinder. Six
earl ridges nestled murderously under
Ms eyes.
He listened intently. The scratch
scratch of the clerk’s pen came to him
monotonously.
One by one he extracted the car-
tridges and then, by means of a sharp
pointed steel letter opener ho embed-
ded deeply in each leaden slug the ini-
tial "M.” To replace the cartridges
and return the revolver to its original
place by the inkwell took but a mo-
ment.
Next, Darrel recovered the pen and
continued his writing.
"In the exent that Mr. Nathan Dar-
rel, In whose pocket hook this message
Is placed, should be made a victim of
foul play, he respectfully suggests the
following for the coroner's eonsidera
lion:
First—The Tact that Lester Mur-
gatroyd has sworn to shoot Nathan
Darrel on sight.
Second-The fact that a covert at-
tack has ever been preferred by Lester
Murg&troyd to a meeting in the open.
Third—The fact that the bullets in
tester Murgatroyd's revolver have been
marked with the letter “M."- Note:
The letter "M" might be mistaken foi
"W” and technicalities have more
than once saved Murgatroyd.
A woid to the wise, etc.’’
Folding Ihe sheet Darrel placed it
In a red Morocco purse taken from his
breast pocket. Immediately after-
wards he got up and passed into the
other room.
“Get through?" asked the sallow
faced young man.
"Yes,” said Darrel. With a pleasant
‘■good afternoon” he left the office anil
turned his steps In the direction of one
Of the two hotels which the town
boasted.
With a plunge he sought to catch the
weapon and tear It from Darrel's grasp.
Softly!" warned the other, clutching
hla hand. "If I get your money back
for you will you promise never to touch
another card so long as you live?"
Who arc yon?” gasped Ihe youth.
“My money Is gone and I am rtiined.
How can you get it back for nte?"
Follow me and you will find out.
Ah to who I am. that is beside the
question. Have I your promise?"
Yes; but 1 should like—”
Here's your revolver. I'd throw it
away, If I were you.”
Darrel pushed the weapon into the
young man's hand, turned sharply and
letraceil his steps to Hawkbill’s. The
two gamblers were still at table.
What Darrel purposed doing called
for skill and courage. Both qualities
were his and he sought Ihe issue with
that airy confidence to which others
had often attributed his success.
It was by meddling in a somewhat
similar way that he had earned the
haired of Murgatroyd. Yet that had
tioi cured him of the dangerous hat>it.
He had observed the gamblers care-
fully. One was past middle age ami
had iron gray hair and beard; the
other was but little older than the
man they had victimised.
’Well. Sturgis." the younger man
was saying as IJarrel came up, “If we
,ould Hnd some one else with a roll
tills night's work would break the rec-
ord.”
'You're never satisfied. Cliff,” re-
turned Sturgis, tossing off the contents
of a glass just brought by a waiter.
'May I sit in with you, gentlemen?”
inquired Darrel, pleasantly.
At that moment he looked the un-
sophisticated and ingenious eastern
gentleman, caring nothing for a little
but was not quick enough.
The hand reappeared with a small,
nickel-plated contrivance known as a
table "hold out.” A murmur passed
through the crowd.
"Sturgis has been using that all
evening,'* remarked Darrel, coolly.
"He cheated that boy out of his money
and—"
With an imprecation, Sturgis hurled
himself towards Darrel, a gleaming
An exasperated cry fell from Star
gis’ lips. Recklessly he threw blmsell
forward, raising the six-shooter to a
level with his eyes.
There was no blood on Nate Darrel's
hands. In his whole career he had
never found It necessary to protect his
life by taking another's.
His ready wit and his wonderful
strength—which his slight form in a
manner belled—had times out of mind
been his bulwarks of self-defense., He
had a horror of bloodshed and i-arried
a revolver In huirtble demonstration of
the theory that leads great nations to
build great navies—hoping to make the
arbitrament of war still more remote.
By coming to Sandy Bar in quest of
Murgatroyd he had faced an issue at
direct variance with his inclinations.
He was well aware that fatalities were
almost certain to result; if he were
the victim, no aching void would be
object in his mind. HawkblU threw left in the world, while if Murgatroyd
himself In the way and ordered Sturgis
to keep hack.
It was evident that the baffled gam-
bler had friends who would rally to
his side and Darrel swept (he stakes
into his hat, clapped the hat on his
head and caught the boy by the arm
and hurried him out.
At the hotel the young man's money
was returned to him. Tears stood in
Ills eyes as he thanked Darrel and the
tell the cause of humanity would be
advanced.
But he wanted no exchange of shots
with Sturgis. He had threatened, but
It was with the forlorn hope of avoid-
ing a clash.
As the irate blackleg plunged for-
ward. Darrel threw himself to one side.
At that precise moment a shot rang
out from some point at Darrel’s rear,
a bullet fanned his cheek and Sturgis,
latter, gruffly bidding him remember I with an agonized cry, tossed his hands
in the air, reeled and fell face down-
ward on the sidewalk.
Darrel was stunned by the sudden-
ness of the tragedy. In a second he
his promise, went out into the dark
street intent on returning to Hawk-
bill’s find waiting for Murgatroyd.
"NOW TlllIN, MY BUCK," CRIED A
VOICE WITH PASSION, "WELL

CHAPTER IV.
DARRELS ENCOUNTER WITH
STURGIS.
As time mellows the perspective of
past events, so it blurs and modifies
the characters of those who made
them. Much of the glory of Anaconda
has departed and Sandy Bar has gone
the way of the "played out" mining
camp, yet tradition deals generously
with the exploits of Nate Darrel—often
too generously.
The strange features of his feud with
Murgatroyd were sufficiently incred-
ible in cold truth; and when the out-
line of the facts faded with a lapse
of years, imagination was drawn upon
to sharpen the reminiscences. The
added material was not always to Dar-
rel’s credit.
Yet no one who now remembers Dar-
rel will ever tell you that he tried to be
anything but a gentleman. If the part
was beyond him, it was solely the fault
of his unfortunate vocation.
had whirled to look back up the street,
but saw no one. Then he did the
worst thing possible for himself by
hastening to the prostrate form and
making an examination.
Sturgis was already dead. The bullet
had penetrated his heart and a stream
of blood flowed from the wound and
formed a pool beneath him.
The shot and the tortured cry of the
dying man had aroused the people.
From the dance ball they came on a
run, and from HawkblH's and other
resorts a half-drunken mob charged
for the scene.
Darrel was found standing over
Sturgis revolver In hand. Sturgis was
dead and the habitues of HawkbiU’s
knew that Sturgis and Darrel bad
quarreled at cards.
Only one Inference was possible.
Darrel drew it as quickly as those
around him.
"Where’s the marshal?” he asked,
his voice perfectly steady.
His hand tightened a little on the
his back was against the wall of the
nearest building, the half circle of
threatening faces in front
“We don't need the marshal," said
ClifT, savagely. "Jack Sturgis is dead
and you’re the one that killed him.
Do we need the marshal, boys?”
He appealed to the crowd. A snarl-
ing negative passed through the ranks
of the crowd and the half circle be-
gan to contract.

DARREL'S GAME AT HAWKBILLB
Properly equipped with a stony dis-
regard for human greed and frailty,
any observer could have loitered In
HawkblH's on and after ten p. m. and
been certain of exciting entertainment
A philosopher of another school might
have seen more Ilian enough lo point
a moral and adorn a tale and perhaps
have retreated with a discouraged
sense of man s inhumanity to roan.
Darrel could lie Indifferent and hard,
nr sympathetic and yielding. Deep in
his heart was ever a feeling that
stirred at another's misfortune and his
hioods varied with the characters or the
players as well ns with the play.
He stood close to a table, facing the
door and dividing Ills attention be-
tween the fall of the cards anil the
men who entered. An old. old game
familiarly known as "two pluck one”
was in progress, wherein a pair of

It was the old -lory "f the moth and

|ut so well ib*l UuttUfciMHy bred any-
money anil desirous only of w’hiliug
away the time. As he spoke, he dis
played a large roll of bills.
"I had thought of quitting," said
Sturgis, shooting a glance at his con-
federate, “but still, if you want a
round, 1 guess I could accommodate
you. Do you want to take a hand?”
he added, carelessly, to the other gam-
bler.
"I might," returned Cliff, with ap-
parent reluctance. "I'm not having
much luck to-night, though.”
“Three will make it more interest-
ing." observed Darrel, dropping into
a chair that placed him so he could
still watch the entrance.
Thereupon the playing began, the
youth whose battle Darrel was light-
ing, approaching the table and watch-
ing eagerly. Darrel allowed Ihe two
harpies lo win enough of his money
to give them confidence, then careless-
ly proposed that they play for a stake
consisting of all the money they had
about them.
Certain of winning, the other two
agreed, and from that moment to the
end of the game Darrel showed him-
self the veteran player he was. Stur-
gis purposely dealt him three aces and
himself four queens, the younger man
dropped out in feigned despair and
Darrel plucked a diamond stud from
ilia shirt and laid It on the heap of
gold and silver.
From various parts of the room a
general movement of the idly curious
had set in towards that particular
table, which made It necessary for
Darrel to request, In his politest tones,
that those between the table and Ihe
diair should draw aside in order that
he might watch for the entrance of "a
man lie was waiting for.”
The request was complied with. Be-
hind his chair Darrel could hear the
sharp, tense breathing of the boy.
Sturgis asked how much the diamond
stud was worth and, when Informed,
borrowed $500 from HawkblU Hen-
derson, $200 to meet Darrel's bet and
$300 to "raise" him. Darrel took a
magnificent watch from his vest pock-
et. the gold case studded with gems
"1 am a stranger here," said he, I
quietly, "and this Is ac far as 1 can go.
What have you?"
Sturgis exultantly spread out his
four queens. Darrel laid down four
kings and an ace,
"Take your money,” said he, turning I
to the boy.
A growl of rage came from Sturgis. |
Catching up his opponent's discard lie '

qualities of mind and heart would have
claimed their tribute of respect and so-
cial position. A man who believed that
his fate was of his own making could
hardly have been ignorant of this; but
passion for play was too deeply In-
grained in his nature. The notoriety
he had courted and won, in any other
profesaion would have been the mill-
stone that pulled him under.
The recovery of the boy's money
aptly illustrates Darrel's character.
could not see anything wrong in
turning the tables on the blacklegs
and it was a pleasure for him to be
able to do It.
He played an "honorable" game; and
he considered it honorable to worst a
couple of sharpers at their own tac-
tics. •
As he made his way back along the
straggling street toward Hawkblll
Henderson's he was warily watchful.
Recent events had taken his attention
somewhat from bis main purpose In
coming to Sandy Bar and the murder-
ous Murgatroyd might be lurking any-
where in the shadows or dogging his
steps.
The wheezy tones of fiddles, guitars
and a bass-viol, accompanied by hoarse
shouts, laughter and a fall of dancing
feet echoed from a building across
the way. Other buildings along the
street were aglare with light and rife
with a clink of glasses, a rattle of
poker chips and boisterous cries of
drinkers and players.
‘"here were few on the street at that,
moment and Darrel passed rapidly on
in the direction of the gambling place.
Abruptly a form hurled itself across
his path from a dark space between
two shanties on his left.
Instahtly a revolver was in his hand.
"Now then, my buck," cried a voice
sharp with passion, "we'll settle our
differences man to man."
"We have no differences to settle.
Sturgis.",returned Darrel, relieved and
not a little surprised. He was looking
for Murgatroyd, not Sturgis.
The gambler was In a blind, unrea-
soning fury. In the light of later
events it was patent that Darrel had
set a trap for him and beaten him
and his confederate at their own game.
When a man like Sturgis has such
a grievance there is but one way in
which the score can be settled. Stur-

It seems always to have lain within
the power of the distinguished lawyer
and humorist, Rufus Choate, to lead
a choleric client from ways of anger
into the paths of peace. Just before
the war a southern gentleman was
dining with a friend in one of the best
hotels of Boston. He was of French
creole extraction, and his name was
Delacour, says a writer in Lipplncott’s
Magazine. The waiter was a colored
man. and the southerner gave his or-
ders in a very domineering fashion,
finding fault freely with what was put
before him and the way in which It
was served. Finally the waiter be-
came incensed and told Mr. Delacour
to go to a place warm and remote.
The latter sprang furiously to his feet
and would have shot the offender dead

wiser friend, who said:
