"Good, thet's relief; sooner I get it easier mind'll be. Nuthin' like 'mediate action to relieve man's mind, you know. Let's take nuther drink and ye can write th' check with steadier hand." Rayder swallowed another drink while Amos fumbled about the desk until he found Rayder's check book. "Bet ye can't spell ten without making a crook.
An orphan at an early age, she had since lived in the home of her Uncle Amos. Everything had gone well until the last year, when her uncle brought Rayder to their home and insisted that she should regard him as a suitor for her hand. Rayder, old and grey, had dyed his whiskers and tried to appear boyish.
Rayder stood watching the player tossing twenty after twenty in gold and tapping a tiny bell now and then when a waiter came and took the orders from those seated around the table watching the game. They all called for whisky except the dealer, he took a cigar. It requires a clear head to deal faro. Rayder grew tired of watching and sat down. He was thinking where did Amos get so much money?
"Charley, bring up a box of perfectos," he shouted. "You may then lock up and go home." The glasses were again drained and the two black crows chattered until the streets were growing quiet for the night. Supper was forgotten in the love feast of Amos and Rayder. "Do you know, Amos, I always did love you just like a brother?"
"I am told there is a suspicion that Amos gives everybody an assay showing values, where there are no values this for the purpose of keeping up work in the district and to those who have found values, he gives them an assay showing nothing. At the same time he gives Rayder, the Denver capitalist, a tip and he buys up the property for a song, giving Amos a fat commission for his part in the deal.
I tell you, Rayder, I stand at the top in the estimation of everybody, and all we have got to do is to have the buyer on the ground, and when they come in with their next samples I will prove to them their values have run out, show them some rich stuff from down the valley and like all others of their class, they will stampede."
Besides, I could never sing my death song in peace if he lives." "Tonight, then," her companion said. "You had better act before matters go any farther." Here was another revelation to Rayder, he saw coming through one archway an Indian woman, and through the other, Coyote Jim who slowly walked toward the faro table.
Rayder was still pale from the effects of his recent debauch and when he found Amos in an intoxicated condition he went away, not caring to stay and talk with him on important business matters lest he should get drawn into another spree. Meanwhile, Carson had arrived and spread the news of the imprisoned miners under the snow slide.
Lor' bless ye! said the good woman, following his eyes towards the edifice and breaking into a laugh, ''taint becos the church is onything much to look at. 'Taint nowt out o' t' common that I knows on. Noa but they coom along o't' monument, an' Miss Bronte Mrs. Nicholls, as should be, poor thing rayder.
As a nation united we welcome all men regardless of their nationality, and, in return, they give us the best thoughts the world can produce." "Rayder, what became of him?" asked his companion.
