He then fetched his revolver, all the chamber* clnrged, laid it on the ground beside him, and once more resumed his efforts to bring Waller to comeiomue3 By this time tlwe was a stir in the valley, and men canning torches were coming alone the road leading towards the hut. There win security in tke sound. No attack having been made before the alarm w»s given and acted upon, there was uone I to bo apprehended now. 'I he murderers had evident! j decunped. The dawn was already spreading, and in a few more m nn-nts n crow 1 of easier men tiurrmnded the hut, and were clinnnuroualy denn.ndin.r p*\rt ieul ir-t of tie murder, winch Dili «as quite unable to gne them, while a few were minutely examining the body. A minute search of the premises was instituted, but no clue to the perpetrators of tlie crime was found The murderers kept their secret as securely is the earth held its treasure. Tuey were not detected, though smpiei »n lighted in sei end directions, and much mcivas.-d i igilauce , was enforced. E»en upon that moilei com nunily, it pro j duced a graie and unpleasant impression, that t le perpetrators of so da-tardlv a crime should be unknown, an.i un punished in the midst of them; and the \ictnn was daily missed among hi 3 familiar haunt*. They buried him in a green nn I petoelul spot in the valley, already (.euplo.l with j many dead, and then it was di«coveied that no man knew his name. Lawrence and Walter had never heard it — he had been 'Spoiled tf'ive' by traditional ii-age long before they cane to Pl.ieer County. A rude woo<len cross marks the place ol hi 3 burnil, bearing the familiar name cut deeply into its tr.ii. averse beam, in perfect good faith, uuassociateJ With tlie smallest idea of iriereiei cc. There was no lack of help for Ddy in the ta«k 1 c had to J fulfil. T'lere was ueneral and genum feeling about the friends, who were getting sm-h a turn of troub'p, nnd any number of rough mtner-t w mid hare been nvui able in i Walter's need. For nviny da\s, Daly had no I ope that he could recover. The lever was so unlike that which had attacked himself, so much worse, more violent, more exhausting, and it had been hard (or him, a "tmnger man than Walter, to fight with it and beat it. Hi>l he even yet be'ten it? He sometimes asked himself, when he felt the utter las-<itu Itf and depression which invade.] his powers, alike of nurd and body, making him despair ol'o 1 ' everytlnu> . But the\ ti.l 1 him I c must expect to I n\e the-e sei sations for many a day to come. And they tol 1 him that Walter would n. cove i, long h»*f"v he eoul I brm_r himself to hope fjc such a po-sibilitv, nd hid told him so many tunes while ' yet he rjlined to belieie it It was evening, and Walter, who ha' heon restl'»s and rambling all day had become quieter. His win and sunken five was not, Daly thought, so unlike its former sell as it had heen in the nitini'ii.' The little cott-ige in G'.ir^e Line, where he hnd seen Walter's wife for the first time ciime back vividly to Laurence's remembrance, lie thong it of lier pretty younx face, turn I, but n t weak, cl" h.< u iHiF'ute I, composed m inner, and of the w mianly mupat! v with which the simple story lie had told herol Ins hie, hithi rto so wasted and di-appoinleil, liid inspired her, nnd u lon ing, stronger •nd greater than before, came to him, that, that young life might have brightness nnd peace in it Jt woul Ibe >o cruel, so needless, he thought, that mw'i a harnile«s crenttire should b» made >*o miserable. He wns full ol heart-»icki>mng compassion for her unconsciousness of the doom which might be impending over her. He heard n en's step 3 an.l voices, and presently was called by Ins liivmn, and went out in the front of the hut T«o miners hn I c >me up, an I bi'oug'it som ■ leftei'i and a welco'iie bitch of English newspapers Tiie letter*, thre ii number, were all for Walter ; one «as direct'- n Miriam's h mil, t«o in Florence's.
