that Miss Alice should, in the vicinity of this

tion that he had :

were now iu the office of the hotel, wait
ing her pleasure. Mr. Ryder further in
formed her that these gentlemen had only
stipulated that they should pot reveal their
real names, and that they should be intro
duced to her simply as the respective ‘'Seven
ty-four” and “Seventy-five” who had signed
the dispatch sent to the late Mr. Rightbody.
Mrs. Rightbody at first demurred to this;
but, on tho assurance from Mr. Ryder that
this was the only condition on which an
interview would be granted, finally con
sented.
“Yqu will find them square men, even if
they are a little rough, ma’am. But, if you d
like mo to bo present, I’ll stop; though I
reclion, if ye’d calkilatcd on that, you’d have
had mo take care o’ your business by proxy,
and not come yourself throe thousand miles
to do it.”
Mrs Rightbody believed it liettcr to see
them alone.
“All right, ma’am. I’ll hang round out
here; and cf ye should happen to hev a tick
lin’ in your throat, and a bad sjxill o’ coughin’,
I’ll drop in, careless like, to see if you don’t
want them drops. Sabo ?”
And with an exceedingly urch wink, anu a
slight familiar tap on Mrs. Rightbody’s shoul
der, which might have caused tho late Mr.
Rightbody to burst his sepulchre, ho with
drew.
A very timid, hesitating tap on tho door
was followed by the entrance of two men,
both of whom, in general size, strength, and
uncouthnen, were ludicrously inconsistent,
with their diffident announcement. They
proceeded iu Indian file to the center of the j
i-oom, faced Mrs. Rightbody, acknowledged
Iter deep courtesy by a strong shako of the
hthd, ami, drawing two chairs opposite to
her, sat down side by side.
“I presume I have tho pleasure of address
ing—” began Mrs. Rightbody.
The man directly opposite Mrs. Rightbody
turned to the other inquiringly.
The other man nodded his head, and re
plied:
“Seventy-four.”
“Seventy-five,” promptly followed tho
other.
Mrs. Rightbody paused, a little confused.
“I have sent for you,” she began again,
“to loom something more of the circum
stances under which you gentlemen sent a
dispatch to my lato husband.”
“Tho circumstances,"tcplkfc Seventy-four,
quietly, with a side glance at his companion,
“panned out about in this yer style. We
hung a man, named Josh Sihsbio, down at
Dead wood for boas stealin’. When I say ice,

“Do you not think that tho ‘sacred compact’
between Mr. Rightbody and Mr. Silsbie re
ferred to her?”
“We reckon it do.”
Mrs. Rightbody, flushed and animated, j
would have given worlds kr.d her daughter ■
been present to hear this undoubted confirm
ation of her theory. Yet she felt a little nerv- j u j.
“Never. ”
“But you say he was college bred, and bom
i gentleman, and in his youth he must have
lad many friends.”
“Alice,” said the young man gravely, “when ;
! have done something to redeem my name
and wear it again before these people, before 1
j/om, it would bo w'eil to revive the past. But
till then ”
But Alice was not to be put down. “I re
member,” she went on, scarcely heeding him,
“that when I came in that night papa was
reading a letter and seemed to be discon
certed.”
“A letter?”
“Yes; but,” added Alice, with a sigh, “when
we found him here insensible, there was no
letter on his person. He must have destroyed
it.”
“Did you ever look among his papers? If j
found it might be a clew.”
Tho young man glanced toward the cabi
net. Alice read his eyes and answered:
“Oh, dear, no! The cabinet contained only
his i>ai>ers, all perfectly arranged—you know
how methodical were his habits—and some
old business and private letters, all carefully
put away.”
“Let us see them,” said the young man, ris-
ing.
They opened drawer after drawer; files
upon tiles of letters and business papers accu
rately folded and filed. Suddenly Alice ut
tered a little cry and picked up a quaint ivory
paper knife lying at the bottom of a drawer.
* “It was missing the next day and never
could be found; he must have mislaid it here.
This is tho drawer, said Alice eagerly.
Hero was a clew. But tho lower part of
the drawer was filled with old letters not la
beled, yet neatly arranged in files. Suddenly
he stopped and said, “Put them back, Alice,

‘Us she hero now?”
“She’s in Tuolumne,” said Seventy-four.
“A little Letter looked arter than formerly,”
added Seventy-five.
“I see. Then Mr. Silsbio enticed her away?”
“Well, ma’am, it wes allowed as she runned
away. But it wasn’t proved, and it generally
wasn’t her stylo.”
Mi's. Rightbody trifled with her next ques
tion. “She was pretty, of course?”
Tho eyes of both nidi brightened.
“She wns that?” said Seventy-four em
phatically.
“It would have done you good to see her?”
nddod Seventy-five.
Mrs. Rightbody inwardly doubted it; but,
before she could ask another question, the two
men again retired to the corner for consulta
tion. When they came back there was a ,
shade more of kindliness and confidence in
their manner, and Seventy-four opened his
mind more freely.
“Wo wish to say, ma’am, locking at the
thing, by and large, in a for-minded way,
that, cz you seem interested, ami cz Mr.
Rightbody was interested, and was, accord-
to all accounts, deceived and led away by
Silsbie, that wo don't mind listening to any
proposition you might moke as a lady—allow
in’ j ou was ekally interested.”
“I understand,” said Mi's. Rightbody
quickly. “And you will furnish mo with any
papers?”
Tho t.vo men again consulted.
“We wish to say, mn’fiiti, that we think
she's got papers, but ”
“I must havo them, you understand,” in
terrupted Min. Rightbody, “at any price.”
“We was about to say ma'am,” said Sev
enty-five slowly, “that, considerin’ all things
—and you being a lady—you kin havo hcr y
papers, pedigree and guaranty, for C'1,200.”
It lias boefi alleged that Min. Rightbody
asked only one question more and then
fainted. It is known, however, that by tho
next day it was understood in Dcadvvood that
Min. Rightbody had confessed to tho vigi- 1
lance committee thst her husband, a cele
brated Boston millionaire, anxious to gain
possession of Abner Springer’s well known
sorrel i mro, hail incite ! the unfortunate Josh
Silsbie to steal it; and that finally, failing in
this, the widow of the deceased Boston mil
lionaire was now in personal negotiation with {
the owner*.
Howbeit, Miss Alice, returning homo that
afternoon, found her mother with a violent
headache.
“Wo will leave here by the next steamer,”
■aid Mrs. Rightlxxly languidly. “Mr. Ryder
has promised to accompany us.”
“But, mother ”
“Tho climate, Alice, is overrated. My
“Why?”
“Some of these letters aro in my father’s
handwriting.”
“The more reason why I should see them,”
said the girl imperatively. “Here, you take
part and I'll take part and we’ll get through
quicker.”
There was a certain decision and independ
ence in her manner which he had learned to
respect. Ho took tho letters and in silence
i*ead them with her. They were old college
letters, so filled with boyish dreams, ambi
tions, aspirations, and Utopian theories, that
I fear neither of these young people even
recognized their parents iu tho dead ashes of
the past. They were both grave, until Alice
uttered a little hysterical cry and dropped
her face in her hands. Joe was instantly be-

"Tlie constant hissing ot the bullets,

her forehead, and, with tears in his grave
eyes, said, “Amen!”
