Jack JIartIn and Pedro Valencia
stood beneath a fragrant buckeye by
the roadside awaiting tlic arrival of tlio
stage, then due at the village of Cgmpo
Scco. It was tlio twillgbt of a warm
summer's dayi and the cool breczo that
had sprung up seemed to have freshened
the perfumes of withering wild flpwura
and drooplns erasscs, The air was
scented witli the fragrance of the bal
samlc pine and the odor of the buckcy
blossom. The two men ttpotl slleii
and watchful under tho shadow of tho
overhanging foliage, occasionally glanc
ing Impatiently down the rpad, which.
from their position, sloped prolpltousIy
for a considerable distance, mnking an
abrupt turn at the foot of tlus hill nnd
then descending a deep canyon, Into
the bottom of which the sun never
penatrated, Jt was put of this canyon
that the stage must emcrgo befpre be
ginning the last ascent, at the summit
of which stood tlic two men who await'
cd its coming. Jt was a long, weary
climb for the horses, and a slow, tcdl
ous Interval for the passengers. The
oft winds of evening rustled the som
bcr pines, and far away In tho gray
chaparral tho mountain quail called to
his mate. Out of the canyon arose the
murmurs of turbulent waters, and
great yolJoiv jack-rabbit hopped lazily
down the dusty road, TJui brown hills
arose on either side, their bases grow;
thick with greasewood and tar-Brass,
while to tlio eastward, through the twU
light haze.the loftier peaks of the Sierra
rcarad their dark, bastlon-llkc slopes
against a darker sky.
It was a scene that would have iin
pressed any observer, whether artist or
layman, but for Jack Martin or Tcdro
Valencia it hid no such charm. They
were simply and solely waiting for the
coming stage. It was a matter of bust
noss with them, and they were not pre.
pared to sacrifice busluossfpr sentiment,
Theirs wa mercenary partnership,
partnership that admitted of no other
consideration than mutual loyalty in
the transaction of their affairs, courage
In the execution of their designs, and
an honest division of the profits of their
enterprise.
"There she comes!" U was Martin
wlio iiprtkc, Pedro bent forward and
llsUnoil Intently, Up through the
murmuring canyon floated the croaking
of ivlieeU and the jingle of liarnoss,
j Then the sharp crack of a whip was
1 heard, followed by the hoarse voice of
the driver as he urged his hones to re-
newed exertion, Podro turned and
found himself face to face with a hooded
1 form armed with a double-barreled shot
gun. He expressed no surprise, but ad-

vancing to where tho roots of tho buck
eye sank Into tho red earth of tho hank
by tho roadside, am" lifting a gunny
sack similar to that which covered tho
upper portion of his companion's body,
drew It over his head. Drawing a shot
gun from the underbrush, ho crossed the
road and disappeared In the chaparral,
Martin, stppd close In the sjiadpw pf tho
buckeye,
Tho stago crawled lazily out or tno
canyon, Uuly tno timer ana a singio
passenger pccuplod tho box, and tho
passenger was a woman. tVJien the
chicle had approached within tcnyaraa
of tho buckeye, a shrill whistle sounded
and two men with leveled shot-guns
stood In tho roadway. The leaders of
the stago team sprang away to the right
and would have dashed down tho bank
In their fright if tho driver had not
skillfully reined them in,
Haiti"
"Halt it Is," the driver replied; "but
yqu might as well put down them Gat
ling they're dangerous, nnd might go
off; besides, they skecr this young
lady."
"Shut ycrjawand throw down that
bos," commanded Marvin, advancing
with lils gun leveled, while Valencia
grasped tho reins of the nigh leader.
"Which box do you mean?" Inquired
the driver.
"Wells Fargo's; and If you give us
the wrong one you'll never drive over
this road again."
Tho threat produced the effect In
tended, and a heavy bluo box, bound
1th Iron, and padlocked, was flung
into the road. Martin examined it
closely, and was apparently satisfied,
for he motioned Pedro away from the
horses and ordered tho driver to "Go
ahead, and bo quick about It, too."
When tho stage had disappeared, the
partners picked up the box and struck
Into a narrow trail leading across the
canypu.
"Purty heavy bpx," remarked Pedro.
"Yes. I reckon we've called the turn
this time, If It's over ten thousand I'm
going to quit the business," Martin ans
wered.
The two men struggled in silence
through tho chaparral, crossing prc
elpitous gulches and climbing steep
rld'cs, until they reached tho head of a
gloomy canyon, thickly overhung with
young pines and cheuiisal, Here they
deposited their burden, an'd tearing
away a huge bpwldcr from the hillside,
revealed a cavity that had evidently
been prepared for the reception of
booty. They hastily thrust the box Into
Us place, carefully effacing every trace
of their work.
On their return to Campo Seep, they
found the town in a fever of excitement
over the bold robbery that had occurred
almost at their very dpors. The sheriff
and a posse of determined men were
scouring the country In search of the
robbers, nnd the people were anxiously
awaiting the result of the search. Xot
the least suspicion attached to the part
ners, whp were regarded by the citizens
of Campo Seco simply as gamblers of
tho ordinary character. They retired
that night weary with their labor, but
exulting in the knowledge that their en
terprise had yielded them the handsome
prolit of twenty thousand dollars.
Pcoito Valencia, solus,
pretty good night's work," mut
tered Pedro Valencia, as he curled up
In his bunk, after parting with Martin
."a pretty good night's work. Twenty
thousand dollars! My share is ten thou
sand! That'll take me hack to Puran
go, nnd plantations arc cheap enough
there. Santa Maria 1 but I'll live easy
after this. I'll pass for a rich gold
hunter, and I'll marry some rich
ranchero's daughter, and I'll ride the
finest horse In Mexico, Twenty thou
sand dollars, nnd half of It Is mine.
Ten thousand dollars! That's a good
deal, but It isn't as much as twenty
thousand. Why shouldn't I have It all?
He's only a miserable Gringo, anyhow,
and if he gets half a chance he'Jl cheat
mo out of my share. Suppose I walk
off with the box? Twenty thousand
dollars in Mexico Is a big pill. Let mo
sec. I can fool this Yankee thief, nnd
I believe I'll do it. I'll tnke the bpx out
of 'the cache and hide it somewhere
else. When the row about this rob
bory cools down and tho Gringo talks
about dividing, we'll go to tho place
where we hid the box, and wo won't
find it. Then I'll say somo cursed thief
has watched us and stolen our money.
The Yankee won't know any different.
Then, when the time comes, I'll disap
pear, I might as well have twenty
thousand as ten thousand, and I'll have
It this very night."
And the robber arose, and dressing
himself, placed a revolver in his belt,
and stole forth Into the night.
Jack Mahtijj, eosiicw.
"It's tho best job I ever did," tliought
Jack Martin, as he flung himself, half
undressed, on tho bed in his cabin.
"Twenty thousand dollars! My share
is ten thousand. Ten thousand dollars.
I'll quit cards; I'll bean honest man;
I'll get out of the State; I'll go back to
Missouri, buy a farm and settle down,
I'll live easy the rest of my life,"
The vision that roso before the fob'
ber's Imagination was so 'vivid, so easy
of realization, that he hecamo restless
with excitement tlio first emotion ho
had shown since tho Incident at the
buckeye, pn tha summit pf "Two-mile
Hill." He sprang from the bed, re
lighted his candle, and paced to and fro
across the narrow cabin. Then he
threw a plnrknot on the smoldering
embers In the fireplace, and, lighting
ills pipe, seated himself before the lire,
watching tlio Haines an they curled
greedily around the nwUipu wood,
"Yes, I'll go back to Missouri, buy a
littte farm, marry the prettied girl In
1 tbe country and settle down."
I A smile of satisfaction o cr-prend his
I countenance as these thoughts flashed
through bis mind,
"They'll never suspeot we, They'll
think I made my money In the nilne3.
Well, I did make It In the mines, didn't j
I? It don't mako any difference how 1 1
made It, and I ilon't care how honest
my neighbor's think I'yo been, Ten 1 knife," ho continued, "is pioof that I

fore I mako It twenty thousand. I . As he spoke ho pointed to a niurdcr
wlsh I hadn't taken that cursed Greaser 0113 bowlo-knife. which Pedro clutched
In on the spec. I could have handled
the job just as well without him. Be
sides, what does ho want with so much
moeny? It'll never do him any good.
Ho'll only buok It off at inontc. I wish
Jack Martin arose and went to
the door. He looked out. "Starlight,"
ho muttdred. Returning to his scat, he
puffed at his plpo with renewed vigor,
"Now, that Greaser," ho thought,
"wouldn't think nothing of cutting my
throatfor thatmoney. I'll betlto won't
rest until ho gets me In tho door, so he
can get away with the swag. I won't
trust him. If ho docs tho square thing
I'll divide if ho don't I'll keep the
twenty thousand and he can whistle for
his share, I'll hide tho box In my own
cache, and I'll hldu It to-night."
In a few minutes Jack Mai tin was
creeping through tho pines of Lame
Hog Gulch. He was armed to the
teeth, and ho know a short cut to tho
oanyan where tho stolen treasure was
buried.
Jack Martin orawled noiselessly
through tho brush on his hands and
knees. The pines through which the
night wind sighed In ghpstly cadences,
shut out the dim light of the stars, and
the vicinity of the cave was as dark as
the interior of a cemetery vault. The
robber had almost reached the place
where the box was burled, when his
quick car deteoted tho pjesenoo of nni
other person. Ho paused and lay flat
upon the earth.
"Somebody Is after that box," he
muttered,
A curse and the peculiar grunt of n
man who Is endeavoring to lift somo
heavy burden broke the stillness.
"It's that thieving Greaser," thought
Martin. "Well, If he thinks he Is go.
ing to swindle mo he Is mistaken. His
life ain't worth tho powder I'll burn to
kill him."
At this mpment the man in tho bush
gave a cry of satisfaction. The bowlder
had been displaced. Ho dragged the
box out of the cave. Martin drew his
revolver and cocked it, There was tho
sound of crackling twigs and the noise
of jingling coin as the box was dragged
through the brush, Then a dark form
crawled out of the thicket and struggled
down the canyon, dragging the box af
ter him. Still Martin did not lire, al
though the mark was a fair one. He
even put up his pistol and followed his
doubly dishonest partner. It was
long tramp the fixed stars
were sink
ing low on tho horizon- when tbcSIex!-
1111 rcacjicit me spin wjiero lie jntcnueu
1 1 ,1 . 1 1 . 1 1 .1 1
to hide tho ill-gotten treasure, He had
scarcely disappeared over the summit of
the ridge after placing the box In the
new cache, when Martin sprang from
his place of concealment and disinterred
it. In another hour the treasure had
been rcburied and Martin was sneaking
homeward In tho gray dawn, exhausted
and satisfied with his night's work.
A month rolled by. The excitement
engendered by the robbery of the Cam
po Seco stage had, subsidod to a still
hunt by Wells.Fargo it Co.'s detectives,
Tlio partimrs, with hypocritical earnest
ness, wcro talking of t division of tho
spoil. A night had been named for un
earthing the treasure. Both men wait
ed Impatiently for tho denoument, and
when, 011 the night selcctcdiW tho di
vision, they stood befpyo the cave at tlin
head of tho canyon each was prepared
to play his part. The bowlder was
rolled away, and the Mexican, thrusting
his hand into tho cave, gave vent to a
well simulated cry of dlsmav.
"Tho box Is gone!" ho cried.
"Gone!" echoed Martin. "You lie,
you mlscrablo Greaser, you He. It
must be there,"
"Keel for yourself," the Mexican
answered.
Martin apparently trembled with ngi.
tatlon, threw himself on his knees nnd
reached into tho cjive. Then he arose,
and, grasping the Mexican by tbe arm,
exclaimed:
"Where Is tho box? You know where
11 is. Don't go back on mc, Pedro
we're partncrs-rwfi'vo risked our necks
together to get this money, and It ain't
right to beat mo this way. It's a joko
on me, ain't it?"
"I've played no Joke on you Jack,
Somebody followed us when we carried
off tho box, that's all, and they've
stolen tho money that's all there is
about jt. We'll havo to stand up an
other stage, Jack, My be we'll havo
better luck next time,"
This explanation seemed to satisfy
Martin, and tho partners returned to
Campo Seco. For a week tbey pretend
ed to plan together, preparatory to rob
bing another stage. Then one dark
night Pedro Valencia left town, as ho
thought, forever. He had made every
preparation for fleeing the country with
tbe twenty thousand dollars. It was
nearly midnight when he returned.
When he entered the gambling hell
where Martin was playing, hJ3 swarthy
face filled was wltb rage.
"Jack Martin, I want to see you out
side," ho hissed between bis set teeth.
Martin exchanged his faro chips for
money and arose. The crisis hid nr.
lived. The diiparture of the two men
was sri!e)y noticed (jy nc other play
ers. Suddenly they were Martini by a
pistol-shot, follows! almost Instantly by ;
another, that rang out on the night air
with deadly diitiuetnets. As tbe crowd
rtuhed to tbe door, a man staggered In. 1
to the room and fall headlong to tbe
floor. The blood was pouring lu tor
rents from his bide, and Ihe pallor of

On tho trial for murder Jack Martin
told tho whole story, and he told It
truthfully, notwithstanding lha advice
of his lawyers, who expected a heavy
foo In the advent of his acquittal, tie
confessed . tho robbery, detailed the
double play of himself and Pedro, and
testified that when the latter on that

Fond mother "Now look here,
George, I want you to break off with
that girl. She is very pretty, and all
that, but I know her too well to want
you to risk your lifo and happiness by
marrying her. Why she knows no more

George "Perhaps not, but she can
