I sped to see tbe stranger drap. but lie

Since then Dick has located in the

all I guess.
Alice bad listened w ith keen attention
to the story told by the driver in his
quaint, rough style. "Girted with a vivid
imagination, she had pictured the scene to
herself as it bad happened, aud w hile she
shuddered at the fatal termination of tbe
thrilling tableau, she admirsd the brave
daring o the man who was known only
by tiie fanciful name of Diamond Dick.
Do you know, miss,' said Sol, breaking
in on her thoughts, 'they say Mooushine
Mike can't rest easy, and" ba nts the gorge
in which be was killed.'
Alice laughed heartily at the driver's
words.
llow charming! a real ghost 7 How I
ahould like to meet thia unquiet shade.'
1 don't think ye'd leel so good ever it,
niM, if ye knowd all Tom aeed it. He
aid it cum'd out of a solid rock, riding on
horseback, ou a boss blacker'a tbe darken!
darkness, with blue fire ruining out of his
nose and mouth. And the sperit war all
afire wilh a tort at a cloud floatin' around
it; and two diys aner, Tom got a fever
and died. Yankee Nick war the next to
meet it: a week arter he was fouud dead
on the hiikide; no wounds on him. Inn an
awful look on his lace.'
It was plain that the superstitious driver
had his own peculiar notions about the ad
visability of meeting this dread thing.
The next moment a turn in the road took
tbetn into a dark corner. The moon was
nut high enough vet to throw any light in
to this gorge, and to Alice there was some
thing foreboding in the sudden transition
Irom the mooolit plain into tbe aurk, shad
ows of the frowning cliffs.
The air, ton, began to grow chillv, and
with t shudder the girl drew a shawl
tightly around her (urea.

M ilh a feeling ol nameless horror, Alice
saw, standing in tbe road, alorm In which
she recognized the dread being of the dri

thought was but the creation tA ignorant
iiipt-rslition.

CHAPTEU II.
TBE TIGE Or THE MINES.
A lirely place was tbe 'city of Greaicr
Oulcb, since tbe rich deposit of gold dis
covered in the dark bed of tbe aw ift flow
ing stream that ran through the canon bad
drawn the miners, ever attracted by tbe
fascinating inducements held out by 'new
diggings,' from far and w ide to the spot.
Almost in a day, tireascr Gulch bad
sprung into existence. .
Firel a lev hovel inhabited by Mexi
cans; then the rush of the gold seekers;
and then, as if bv majric. ft city of nearly
hve hundred eouia, ol hotels, stores, gam-1
Ing dens and dance-houses thickly inter
srx-rsed among habitations ot tbe miners.
igbtly these places ot amusement were
thronged by the miners, who, lured on by
tbe fickle goddess, or the smiles of the
heartless sirens, would throv away in a
lew hours tbe gold they had wrested irom
tbe earth during the day.
Notably was this the case in a large es
tablishment abich lorded it oer its neigh
bors, inasmuch that it boasted ot two sto-
. .... :. . l
rjea, and which bore on i'-s sign the title ol
'1.1 lapitan.
On the night we write of, the gambling
room ot the El Capilan was crowded, and
the various games ol chance in full blast,
early as was ihe evening.
Sealed at one of the small tables ranged
alongside of tbe walls, three men were
playing at a gme of cards.
from the poor plating they did. and the
frequent mistakes that w ere permitted to
pass unnoticed, il was evident that the
thoughts ot the players were not on the
game. In tact they were conversing in
low, guarded tones.
'And when will this girl be here !' in
quired ihe younger of the trio, a Spaniard,
evidently, Irom Lis swarthy lace and fan
ciful dresa, but who spoke English perfect
ly. I expect her by to-night's stage. Dive,
answered the man at the bead ot tbe table,
and who was dealing the cards.
This was Colonel Keardon, proprietor ol
the EJ Capilan Hotel, and reputed one ol
the best card players in Arizoua.
Then I think I bad idler prepare my
self lor the sacrifice,' said Dave, w ith a
j sarcastic laugh.
Hues this girl knaw li. ttertu
It was Elan Ell well who spoke the ex-
uress aL'ent and postmaster ot the gulch
a man. like Keardon. past tbe prime of
life, with small cunning eyes and a cralty
smile upon his lips.
1 think so, answered llearuon. but we
must proceed cautiously : too much hasle
will spoil it. By the way, Dave Rear-
don sank his voice to a w hisper 'there is
a man around here w hm I don't like
one who, I fear, knows too much for our
good.
'Who is that?" inquired both the listen
ers, eagerly.
Hush! lou t speak loud, mere
be is leaning on the bar.
Jied Hall !
'Yes ; a deputv-sheril from Texss.'
1 fear him. What arc you alxiut. Dave?'
said the colonel, suddenly. 'That spade
calls lor a trump T'
Ah : so il does. here are my wits:
and Dave placed the jack of clubs upon
the bower.
A man sauntered by close lo the table.
To Ellwell and Keardon he nodded En.mil
iariy. I pon the Spaniard he cast a sharp,
curious look.
His face, contrasted by the black, w avy
hair escaping Irom under the slouched
hat the larire. brilliant eve, and mustache
oi the same dark hue. looked gkaU.'y in its
marble-like jiallor.
But the most reniarkatile liiing aooui
him, and one which would have a'tracted
attention even in the most resplendent
courts of Europe, w as tbe massol diamonds
his clothes were adorned wilu.
Each button on his coat and vest had set
in its center a flashing stone ; iu his im
maculate shirt-bosoui gleamed a magnifi
cent soiitaire ; tbe watch-chair, dangling
from his Cub was sparkling with the pre
cious gems ; and upon the small lingers oi
both bauds he wore nogs aet wuu the
same brilliant crystal.
1 his wan was Diamond uick. sometimes
called 'The Tiger." Irom a war-' rfui .
quickness aud acti wty be had displayed on
several occasions.
Exchanging ercelings with many in the
room, Diamond Dick proceeded straight to
the bar, and atter shaking hands cordially
with lied Hall; drew him aside in conver
sation. Tbe three plotters at tbe table exchang
ed uneasy glances.
'Hush, boys, here comes the deputy
shenlT,' cautioned Keardon.
In truth, Red Hall, after a lew minutes'
conversation with Diamond Dick, had
turned abruptly and was advancing to the
door.
Like Diamond Dick, he flashed a search
ing glance at the Spaniard, Dave, as he
pasHcd.
The next moment lie left tbe room.
Tbe three plotters turned uneasily in
their seats.
Come, Dave, you'll better go,' said Col.
Keardon, suddenly, arising. 'It wouldn t
do to have you caught here. We can con
tinue this -om-erlion at some future
time. '
'All riirbl, leave word in the usual place
when you want me. and I'll be on baud.'
TheSaniard coolly lit a cigarette, and
then, without betraying any haste, saun
tered cat of the apartment.
Hardly had the tmi.c covered doors fold
ed behind his lorni, when a terrible bub
bub arose in the saloon into which the
dior opened. Loud shouts and curses rent
the air. The next instant tbe doors were
dashed aside, and a man, evidently very
much under tbe influence of whiskey,
staggered into the room.
Whoop '.' he vociferated, in a thick,
hoarse voice. 'Who says I cant come in
here? Whar 'si he man? Show bim to
me quick.'
The man who was a iierkct eutul in
stature, and broad in proportion. His
dress consisted of a blue flannel shirt, rough
panlaloous, and big boots. A mass of fiery
red hair straceled Irom under tbe edge of
a ballered 'plug' hat, and frowsy lieard of
the same color coverel his lace. Around
his ample waist was slrappid a fib ill ar
senal ot wcajxms.
Tbe rude entrance ol the stranger had
interrupted "the various games in progress,
and as every oue in the room was staring
al him, no one noticed that a man glided
into the room by a small door at the head
of the aparlinuul. This man, after hurri
ed Iv whispering a lew words into the ears
of Diamond Dick, went out again as noise
lessly as he had entered.
W batever it was he had said seemed to
affect Dick in a iecu!iar manner, as he
stalled to leave l ie room by the door at
tin farther end.
In doing this be fell under the notice ol
the red haired giant w ho suddenly barred
his wav.
'Wnar'r you goin', pilgrim ? You csn't
gi( out yore onleas ye mount me first.'
Dick looked at bun in amar.emenL
Why cannot I leave ?'
''Cause I don't waul ye to. I'm the
Sarpiut ot Siskiyou County. State of Cali
fornee. Han'sum Harry's my handle.'
Then placing his arms akimbo on his
hija, be looked at him with an iuiertinent
stare.
A steely glitter began to show in the
eyes of Diamond Dick.
" 'Serjient of Siskiyou, you're making an
ass of you melt If you don't step aside I'll
mop the floor with tour dirty lace.'.
Vi'hat, ji V snarled the giant. "Do
me ears deceive me ? Call me an ass
me ? Han'sum Harry ? Stranger. I kin
b'ar to be spit on, and Lev it -rubbed in ;
but w hen a msn tells me I'm an ass. that
lets me out,' and he aimed a blow at Vm
lace of Dick with a fiat like a ham.
Well meant, too, was the blow, and had
it struck lairiv, woo Id have rut short the
existence ol Diamond Dick then and there.
But with a bound, the Tiger of the Mines
sprang aside, and as the giant, staggering
under the impetuosity of the blow, passed,
he shot out his right hand like a flash.
Fairly upon the neck of Handsome Har
ry toll the terrible blow, and the giant lay
iu a quivering heap upon the floor.
A laugh went up Irom tbe spectators,
who had breathlessly watched the alterca
tion. In a lev minutes the fallen giant began
to stir himself. Sitting up. he gazed blank
ly around.
Catching sight ol Dick, who wilh arms
folded low down on his chest, was calmly
looking at bim. the Sarpint ol Siskiyou'
struggled to his feet, and walked gingerly
and cautiously around him a lev times.
Then, as if satisfied, lie said, anolozetic
ally: .
Stranger, my foot slipped. 'Scuse mt
fur bein' so awkward. A'ov I'm gut a'
lur ye !' and he made a rush at his nimble
antagonist as be finished speaking.
This tinwDiamonJ Dick did not avoid I
him, but quickly dodging the blows, be j
sprang inside of the giant's guard, and ;
poured a periect ram oi uiows niin u
lace. . -
Blinded, slsggcring under the . terrible
bail ot blows, Handsome Harry struck
wildlv into the open air, until Dick plant
ed that terrific right-hander again upon
his nock, and again the giant fell like a
sack ol meal.
" -There, I hope that ill satisfy you. lool:'
said Dick, coldly, 'If you are not, there's
more where that came Irom.
Oh. no, pilgrim,' said the giant, wiping
the blood Irom his eyes. 'I ain't a bit
proud, it I do ssy iu " Shake !'
Diamond Dick grasped the proflered
hand. His was not a nature to repulse an
offer of friendship made under such cir
cumstances.
Msy I go out now ' he inquired, w itb
a smile.
'Wal, I'll salivate the man as says you
can t," replied the Sarpint of Siskiyou,
glaring around defiantly.
AU right, Sarpint or Siskiyou. I didn't
know but what you might have some
thing else to say against if
ary word, stranger; you re ooss oi
this town. I ain t buckin agio no airtn
quakes this time, no stree, I ain't,' answer
ed the Sarpint, wilh a wise shake of his
head.
Dick turned awar with an amused smile
upon bis lace, to leave the room, but as be
stretched out his hand to push aside the
door, a pistol shot suddenly rang through
the nxim, followed by a low moan ol ago
ny-
CHAPTEU III.
A CLOSE CALL.
Diamond Dick staggered back and
fell
motionless on ihe tl or.
A cry ot horror from the crowd, then a
savage snarl, and the Si, pint of Siskiyou
drew a revolver and levelled it al the
crowd.
Whar's tbe man who fired that shot:
Quick ! You onery cusses you sneakio'
cutthroats. W ho was it ?'
Fancy Charley, tbe barkeeper, came
forward.
Gentlemen, whoever tired that shot,
did il through thai door,' pointing to the
Email entrant at the head ol tbe room.
I beard it close immediately alter Dick
tell.'
With a vengeful yell the Sirpint of Sis
kiyou burst through the throng and threw
himself against the dcKir which gave way
be lore him with a crash.
A flight of stairs were disclosed leading
upward. The Sarpint of Siskiyou sprang
up these with a bound, followed by a doz
en or more of tbe miners, with drawn
weapons in their bands.
Ou the landing above which was in
darkness the giant collided with some one
w ho was throw n violently to tbe floor by
the shock.
Wilh a bowl of triumph the Sarpint of
Siskiyou collared the being, and, in spite
ot his cries, dragged him down stairs, and
flung him headlong into the room.
'Thar ye air, beys,' cried tbe infuri-Ued
giant, 'lhar's tbe sassin. What ! do me
eyes deceive me ? A heathen Chinee ?'
It was a Chinaman the loose, baggy
trousers, the wide sleeves of tbe jacket,
the olive complexion, the almond shaped
eyes, and above all the long plaited cue
dangling bthiud couid belong lo none but
a child of the Celestial Empire.
The Chinaman's lace had turned almost
green froin lright, and he was jabbering
away in pigeon English at a terrific rate.
'Hi, you Melican man, wbatsec niattec

'Look here, heathen, you kill nun,' tud
tbe giant menacingly.
'No kille; all saim lie !'
What! Kin I believe me ears? Tell
me I lie ?'
Colonel Keardon interfered at litis mo
ment. '1 tliiu't you arc wrong, nenllemcn.
What motives could this Chinaman have
in tiring at Diamond Dick ?'
'Then w hat war he doin' on them stairs?'
doggedly demanded the iSarpiut ol Siski

A joytul 6', . . .1 : infant came from
XX& who had picked up the fallen man.
'Jlurnwr, bovs, he ain t dead ! cried a
gaunt lanky borderman; 'he didn't stop
the bullet squar, he'll come to soon.'
Some warm friends had Diamond Dick
among those in the room, and this an
nouncement fell gladly uion their etrs.
They crowded arouud the wounded man
eagerlv, and in the confusion thus nude
the Chiuamau glided swiltly out of the
room,
Diauiond Dick hud ojiened his eyes, and
was staring vacantly arouud al the rough
faces bendiug kindly over him. He put
his hand to his head wilh a groan of pain.
'Ay, it war a close shave, old man, ' said
Cinuibar Sam, w ho supported him upon
his knee, 'but here driuk this; it'll set ye
on yer pins iu less'r'n no time.'
The fiery liquor did its work, and Dick
struggled to his feet; but he reeled (lijtzilv.
'How is it.pard?' said the Sarpint.sleadv-
iug Liu. 'Ain't huit laJ, air yer?'
Vo, no, I m all right. 1 lie bullet only
grazed my head. But who was the cow
aid that tired at me w hen my back was
turned ?'
-You'll bev to ax me sum easy ones fust,
pard; the shot cum Irom tbe door thar.'
'Yes! And did no one follow the as
sassin T'
iow you're shoutin'; they did !' cried
the Sarpint. 'I got through that door too
quick.'
'And could you not find the man who
fired at me ?'
Nary time, pard, didn't find notbin'
'ceptin a heathen Chinee.'
Who was that?'
'lie called hisself Hop Sing the var
mint.' Ah, Hop Sing. I know him.' said Di
amond Dick. 'He did not tire at me, I am
sure.'
'I war a goin' to skulp him, paid; I wur
fur a tact; but that high-toned galoot thar,
put in his yaup, an' lowed he kaow'd the
man.'
Colonel Keardon scow led at this allusion
to himself and came forward.
Dick,' he said. 'I regret this very much;
but I am sure you can attach none of the
blame to me. I was as mucti astonished
as auy one in the room when I saw you go
down. I didn t think the t binatuan did
it, and therefore I stepped in between him
and the violence which Ibis man was
about to do.'
You did right. Colonel; the Chiuamau
never fired the shot but how long have 1
been insensible? be inquired, suddenly.
'Not long; perhaps five minutes.'
'Ah, then it is not too late,' and Dick,
turning abruptly, stalked out ol tbe room,
leaving his friends staring in amazement
at the door which closed behind him.
- 'Too late!' ' mused Colonel Keardon to
himself. 'What does the man mean ?'

At 10:53 the tbree condemned men
