What? Who did you say the big fellow was?” ••Ned Anthony, the millionaire.” The iiuestioner, a thick set man, with a snub nose, rose hastily and opened the window of the hotel smoking r.toin and leaned far out. eager to inspect the broad shoulders and the brown slouch hat of the money king. For blood or beauty or breeding he would not hare turned upon his heel; but for gold, no exertion could he troublesome. When the brown hat and the broad shoulders had been swallowed up in the sea of other hats and shoulders, similar in outward aspect if not in intrinsic vrlue, the snub nosed man returned to his chair and his pijie, bubbling over with the inquiry and speculation which the contemplation of financial success is potent to inspire. ••This must be a new layout 1 seem to have heard the name somewhere be fore. Not here; 1 never heard of him here nntil 1 came np this time. I’ve been ranching down in Texas, you know, and am sorter behind the times in city items.

One of a group of miners who were enjoying a holiday in the city laid down his cards and turned himself in his ohair. The game was “California Jack" with a twenty dollar pot. anil was admirable pour passer le temps, but paltry in interest when com pared with the discussion of millions. He turned back to the Te.rnn ft rut pure the licit reil tut urination. “Was there any trutn in the toper story?" he roused himself to inquire: “or was it just a newspaper canard?” "Well.” deliberated the miner.x;raft- ily saving his partner's ten and "low' for himself at the same stroke, "1 guess there was a grain or two of truth in the dirt the [tapers [tanned at so damnation hard some years back.

Soon to their searching quest changes began to make themselves apparent. In place of the sleepy old ca nal of his boyhood there was a single track, unprosperous looking railway, I — and telegraph poles marked the line of said amusedly; "1 didn't myself at first, what was formerly the towpath. although the fellow that told me hail it And there were endless qniet changes from Anthony s own li|«.

Twenty years had left be- doesn t it? IV s duo t always trade off a j Lind them traces of their flight in galled and gullied fields that formerly were fer- nearly every case. If the tlrug- “No, sir-ee! 1 believe yon!" the miner observed contemptuously, for the recent losses among the cattlemen had put “cow” at a discount in his estimation. “You don't catch none of Ned Anthony's stock roaming around on four legs lock ing horns with a norther. The cold wave ain’t left the pole yet that'll rush his pro|ierty up into the corner of a corral and go over ;t. Nod'll take risks with any man alive, but he ain’t fooling with cattle this season." The Texan slipped away from the sub ject fie had lost considerably on cattle himself, anil discussion of the topic was still painful. He changed his ground from suggestion to direct inquiry. “How’d he make his pile?" "Same way we all do—or try to." re sponded the miner; “mines an stocks an sheers. We all take to the water pretty much the same way, sink or swim. Most of ns sink, a few swim: and An thony is one of the few.” “Good swimmer, eh?” “First rate; strong in the lung, clear in the head, good action, fine mnscle and a big will. He’ll make what landing he aims for, you can bet your bottom (Utl lar, even with the current dead ag'iust him. It will take a pretty heavy freshet to drown out Anthony. His belief in himself is something wonderful; he holds it for a dead sure thing that it ain't in the power of man to git his head under water." “It may be in the power of woman, though.” remarked a slender, gentle manly looking man who was leaning on the back of a chair listening to the con versation. and whose accent proclaimed him to bo a Virginian. "Such things have happened before now. The biggest Samson of us all meets his Delilah sooner or later and comes under the shears. It's a fate few escape." “That’s so!" acquiesced the miner re gretfully. ‘‘TUey re mortal hands with scissors, women are. and they'll snip- snap around a man so bright and fast his strength is done up in a bundle ready for stuffin pincushions an such be fore he gits a notion of what they're up to. It's always a lock for a keepsake, and down a fellow's head goes into their aprons, to come up again as clean as a billiard ball. Lord! Lord! what a world it would be without women!” The Virginian laughed. “A world I'd rather be excused from living in. my friend," he said. “Angels or devils, or whatever they are, life would be a tame affair without them. What's that that [western poet fellow said?—‘Whether a Tuan be hell bent or heaven bent, some- whar in his tracks thar will be found the priut of a woman's feet.’ That's it, isn’t it? And your poet has brought the matter down to bed rock.” The talk had drifted far away from Ned Anthony and his money. The Texan brought it back with the resolute jerk of another downright question. He was a man who stuck to his point and was impatient of frivolous digression. He liked reverting to primal cause, and considered exhaustive investigation of the career of successful competitors r i the race of Mammon likely to be rich in hints for the guidance of those less well placed in the running. “Oh, dog women!” he said. “They're well enough; but don’t let’s bother about ’em now. I want some of you fellows just to tell me how this man Anthony got bis start.” The. miner picked up his cards and looked them over deliberately. Then he winked across at his partner to call his wandering attention to the fact that ; "Jack" was on top to be piaysd for. j When this matter had been settled to his | satisfaction be turned back to the Texan and gave the desired information in two | words, "Prairie do[,a" A deep abstraction fell upon the man of kine and his pipe went out unnoticed. He had been hearing of the wonderful > Prairie Dog mine for the last four years. ; Even down in the cattle country the ! mine was known and talked about Its ; phenomenal richness, the queer story of fellows." and then proceeded: “No, Ned don't givs himself away much. Most of them stories were written up in the offices by the men that know all about it. as usual. Still, they couldn't miss getting a grain or so of j metal out of all that grit.” “And those wore"— suggested the ! Texan eagerly. “That Tony Ned (high to me. if you please) went prospecting in the Sierra Madre conntry five or six years liack : and chanced on the biggest find any fel- low has made since I've been diggin; a thundering find, as good as the Com stock any day. The way the story mns, j as the miners tell it. is just this, and 1 ! reckon it's as true a bill as any. because 1 Ned never contradicts it.” The miner, having secured the pot. laid aside his hand and turned to face the rooni: ( “Ned was prospecting down thereaway, and he had a run of bad 1 uck at first, black enough to set the devil swearing. “After digging around for • mouth or so, and getting nothing for it but pain ! in the back. Ned saddled up his broncho I and came down out of the hill, swearing he was going to quit sending his bucket down a dry well. He [lulled right and he pulled left for awhile before he could got himself to agree all round to quit-! ting, for Tony Neil has as good a grip in j the jaw as untst bulldogs going, and he 1 mortally hates to leave hold of a thing j he's once set his teeth in. He had a I sorter feeling, too. that there was ore about, if only he could strike it. How ever. he quit, and took out across the plains into Arizona, anil the more he went forward the more lie hankered after going back, and the more sure he was that the Madres had a secret they were hiding from him. At last he left the thing to chance, as they say miners and sailors are fond of doing. “It was the morning of the second day. and a good square si:;ty miles lay Itehind him. He was cooking his rasher and coffee and cursing his luck, and ids broncho, having eaten np all the grass in his lariat circle, was looking on and listening. Two little prairie dogs sat on a mound close by enjoying the early sun shine, but the rest of the village were asleep. Presently the little beggars fell out about something and set to for a regular rough and tumble. One was bigger than the other, and a queer notion struck Ned as he sat and watched 'em. He named the big dog ‘Sense,’ and the little one he calleil'Instinct.' ‘If Sense whips', he safil to himself, 'I'll [tush on and try my Inek in Arizona. But if In stinct wins I'm going back to the Ma dres.' He eyed 'em close, and presently he got np and walked over to his saddle; the little dog had got the big dog down ami fairly rolled him down the mound.” The Virginian removed his arms from a long line of white handed forbears peacefully asleep among the blue Vir ginia hills rose and checked him, so he changed his sentence—"as any of onr mining plutocrats. His father was an overseer on a big tobacco plantation in the James River valley in Hie old days. Anthony started from the ground, if that's any advantage, and mind you, I’m not denying that it may be. All the pnrple and tine linen of his career will be of his own providing.” "So 1 thought,” responded the miner, “and it’s all right for him anyhow. If he hankers after that sort of thing and stops out here or goes north, he can set up a [latent on lieing a Virginian, and if he goes back there, he can start three letters of his own and break down the old monopoly. ‘P. D. M.' makes as good a show as ‘F. F. V.’ any day, and it’s gol more solid back to it." The Virgii;iau made no comment. CHAPTER II. the back of the chair and seated him self in it. The story probably interested | torn as much as it did the other men. were off with "And yet v'hrn t van a kid I thnwjht thin rallcy wat the world.” There are more agreeable ways of passing an hour than in silting on the top rail of a Virginia “snake fence” on a north hillside m tne clict rlesa gray of a raw November evening.

After awhile he came upon what looked to bo an old trail, and he Pillowed It down into the canyon, where he found the broncho, with his baggage smashed np. but other wise all right. Tough little beasts, bronchos. "Half way of the canyon there was an open space, with trees like a little park, pines anil redwoods, ami near the cen ter there was a deep, snow fed pool. Against the wall of the cliff at one side was a rough cabin bnilt of redwood slab*, and inside of it. at the br.ck, was the moti! of the Prairie Dog mine.*' The speaker paused and filled his pipe, as though ho had nothing more to say on the subject.

What the devastation of war had commenced poverty and unthrift were i completing, and the foot of time but j marked the road that was leading to destitution. Anthony gazed over it all and scorned it. He was so full of energy, will and activity of purpose that the evidences of unthrift filled him with Impatience. All the tender beauty of the scene, all its Old World cahn, its repose and soft t enchantment wore utterly lost upon him. The lotos eating phases of existence were beyond his comprehension—would have been beyond his endurance. “How small it all looks!" he mused slightingly, as he paused in his whittling to stroke his beautiful'brown beard with a strong sunburned hand, “and yet when I was a kid 1 thought this valley was the world. Now it looks to me as though I could straddle that river aud push the hills apart with my two hands. Lord! how the country has gone down- down to the very dogs, for want of money and push. They hadn’t much practical energy to start with, these peo ple, but with one thing anil another they seem to have lost the little they had. They can't make work tell any more than a kitten can pan ore. They run to extremes and hit the best [tart of their licks in the wrong place." Ho finished trimming his stick thought fully. handling his knife dexterously, cutting with firm, capable strokes, and making every cut further his design. The grain of the wood was close, its liber tough, lint he worked on persist ently, without hnrry or waste, and when he had completed the job to his satisfaction he closed the knife with a sharpsnapand returned it to his pocket. The newmade cane was stout, and he balanced it in his hand and then struck it smartly against the rail to test its strength. “I’ve known the time when a good Virginia hiexory would hove been a mighty pleasant thing to handle out yonder,” he thought. “That night in O'Hara’s saloon when 1 caught Nea’ cheating at draw poker and pinned his hand to the table with my knife, a stick like this wonld have been a handy play thing to amuse the rouglis with. Lord! how long ago the old time seems when I remember what's come between." There was a alight rustling among the de:id leaves and grass of a brier patch near. The man turned his head instant ly, as one accustomed to note the slight est noise, and peered down into the tangle. At first he conld distinguish nothing, but soon two long brown ears, crowning a soft brown lump materialized from the uniform brownness of its sur roundings, an 1 two black eyes, big and startled, regarded the intruder specu latively, evidently trying to determine whether his intentions were friendly or tha reverse. A sharp whirring sound or the hickory stick left - the strong hand settled ail doubts in the rabbit's mind, and with a terrified bound she left her form, as the missile came clattering among the bushes. Anthony leaped from the fence and stooped for a stone, which he sent whiz zing after the little beast, causing its heart to jump in unison with its terrified legs, bnt doing no other damage. An thony trampled about among the briers until he found his stick again, a trifle nettled by the futility of both throws. He revolted against failure of any kind. The evening was drawing in. and the air was heavy; from the river mists rose and mustered in thick, vaporous masses which rolled across the low grounds aud stormed the heights; tha atmosphere \va- dense with chill and moisture. Awa\ in' the distance a cow lowed with long drawn insistence, and from nearer a calf answered. Along the road at the foot of the hill the form of a woman passed slowly, her steps so deadened by the dampness that she appeared to drift rather than walk. Anthony leaned for ward, scanning the road through the gathering dusk. Only a negro woman returning to her home from an errand to the village, hut so magnified by the .shifting fog. so etheroalized by the illu sive mists, that she seemed an apparition rather than a thing of hnman mold. With hand upraised she steadied the burden on her head and passed on, singing, her voice rising and failing with the wild, pathetic cadence of her race. And the burden of the refrain was disappointment aud sorrow and weariness, and the air, as it floated hack to the listener, was weird aud sweet aud infinitely alluring. “Miss Clives,’’ said young Lord George Fist Herbert, “I feel the need of a wife.
