with a pni-ty of Eastern tourist, on

" If you have no objection, sir, we

" Well," coi-nmeucfd tho pa3cngcr
; addrcs&ed, you probably uoticed a
short distance back, a collection of
. deserted huU, once a thriving mining
camp, filled with men of .every char
acter from all partsr of tho world,
kecking that all-absorbing object of
the day gold. Tho town for it
boasted a Bella Union" Hotel, Post
. Oflice, and a scor j of saloons, besides
the houses, cabins and places of busi
ness of the inliabi:auts va called
Hudson's Bar, and did not enjoy tho
niont enriablo reputation for law aud
ortler. .- . v . '
j' "During tho Spring of'03 there
cunie to Hudson's Bur two persons,
from no one knew where, who ex
erted a great influence upon the com
munity ' almost as soon as they
alighted in front of the hotel. One of
them .'was a wouiuu,. and such' a
woman I Beauty Is no name, for the
charms alio poaeod. A deep blue
ye t'nt up riled like a suake's aud
iKoiued to look you through aud
tiiitnih; a face that was that of a
child's in appearance, surrounded by
wuviu yellow hair that hung like
ciiscadeof amber over her shoulders,
which, like the rest of her form, were
beautifully rounded and of delicate
mould. Her companion was a man
. whose maimer indicated the man of
the world, and withal a sharper, one
of those men who in cities have tho
prefix of 'confl.lenco' to their uamc3.
II U general apponrance was not at all
prepossessiutj to tlie rcade.' of human
nature, although be was well calcu
lated, to - opcrato succesafuly in his
'profesi-ion.' Tho .residents of the
B-ir discovered shortly after their
arrival that the' name of the two
travelers as written upon tlio hotel
register . were 'Ga-orgn Wildlove and
lady,' but as womeu were seldom
designated -ladles ' in those days, the
hotel keeper said he 'guessod he muaut
she was his wife-.''
"Tlie two iicw arrivals soon came
out in Uieir true colors. 1 He was a
gambler, aud she a flirt and coquette,
li) the wild, free lite of the mines
such things were taken as a matter of
' course, and a , hundred rough men
would have given all they possessed
for a smile from Nellie "Wildlove.
The influence the woman' exerted
over these men. causad many dollars
to flowinto) bor- husband's faro-bank
at' tlie Arcade, for she generally
wound up a lively conversation with
some rich Missourlan or Southerner,
who owned a paying claim ' below
the dam,' by tolliii-r him that no ouo
knew what might happen if George's
bank was broke,' leaving bor victim
to infer that if he succeeded in break
Ing the Anauuial venture Qf Wildlove,
an elopement might, be in order.
Pays rolled on, however, but Wild,
love's aUkire only i grew i more pres.
perous, although hi lay-out' was
surrounded night and day by a crown
of men eager to ' break that bank, and
see what Miss Yellowhair would do
about it ;' but the crash never camo,
'coppered Jacks' and three-time-losers
notwithstanding.
"Two young men had been work
ing together lor somu time tin the Bar
in a good claim about ouo mi'.'e from

admiration 'was tlnmarriod. ' Nevers
finally , axked her point-blank sue
night at. a ball whether he wasuH
right, mid sho ftMiikly replie 1 Hint ho
was, at tlii) same time giving him such
a glanco vtliat loft no doubt of the
truth of that reply. Nevers repeated
tho conversation to Clamor, who was
a wild, lia"uin-scnruni fellow, fall of
animal spirit, And who immediately
commenced: laughing at tho idea, and
'pmlsTng',' ."Nevers Tor bis shrewd
ness.; Never, who was of a stendtbr
disposition, tlton:flit he could read his
friend's; .Inmost thoughts, and, as he
'left him, 1 muttered, 'he has designs.'
'These two men becamo ' almost
constant titors at tho hotel, coming
when i others woro away aud Nellie
was "alone. , Clamor enlivened the
conversation with hU jovial wit,.whilo
Novcrs handled tho weightier and
mora sober subjects that might arise.
Both soon became favorites of Nellie,
aud sho never hinted a word to them,
eitlior, about George Wildlove or his
faro bank at the Arcade. Walks la
the soft twilight down to the creek or
tip the road became frequent, and ns
tiino passed, slio begun to show a
preference), first for. .ouo and then for
the other, which ' engendered hard
feelings in the breasts of the two
frioud4,for both had already begun so
crotly to love this beautiful creature.
Outsiders had watched thtf 'growinif
intimacy between tVa three, and
although a few epuxht to stir tip feel
ings of jealously W George Wildlove,
they had not as yet succeeded, for
ultliougii Clamor dud Nevers seldom
.visited, .his game,, ho was made to
understand by Nellie that ' it was all
right.'
"The little fpark of pique in the
lieirl3" "of the two friends, .caused Iry
Nellie's changing preferences,, was
gradually, iauncd - into ; somoUiin
stronger," and fj-oin visiting her at
tliflcrcnt hour they at last dissolved
partnership in " tho claim,' Nevers buy
ing Clamor out. One evening Clamor,
while walkiug'jjistlejily along Hie
road, observed Nellie loaning very
lovingly upon Never's shoulders, talk
ing to him very earnestly, and next
day Nevers came suddenly upon tho
ficklo girl and Clamor just ashc kissed
her lips .without tho least resistance
on her part.
From that moment a deadly ant-mo.-ily
sprang up between the two,
e cli thinking that tlio oilier held the
nllectious of n changeable gil'U
"A collision between these , two
men cijitUj n'c fbo!. avoided, aiid one
night they met. Tlie Arcade was
crowded, George Wihllove's game
being in full blast, while I ho halls were
rolling for ' rondo' on another table.
Nevers, while watching the latter
game, was aceusted by a fiicnd, who
informed him that Clamor was look

a meeting between himself and Clamor,
whom he knew was intoxicated, he
ntlcmpted to leave the place by a rear
door, when he was confronted by the
very jejsou Lin, wishod -to- avoid,
Clanlor presented a" pistol and told
him to slop or ho would, fire, adding
that ho wished U, talk to him. The
manner of Clamor was so insolent,
and the danger so imminent, that
Nevers could not do otherwise than
dash the pistol from the in suiter's
hands.' -Clamor made a motion as if to
draw another, when. Nevers struck
liiiu full iu the face, felling him to the
lioor. lie then mado bis escape, beiutr
unarmed and unwilling to risk au af
