The spectre alongside was the ghost of a ship once dead. On the hood of one of her wheels, as It wavered above the string- piece, the faded letters “George K. Starr, Seattle,’’ trickled ^ through an ancient glaze of rust and soot. They identified all that was mortal of a condemned side- wheel ferry-boat, which had been * dragged from the boneyard to make a first, and in a way a posthumous, voyage beyond the Sound. matter for comment in this crowd. Unlike the varied mob that followed them later, the men who biased the Yukon trails in the early fall of ’97, were al most all hard-living men of the open; miners, cattlemen, rail roaders and lumberjacks from the Northwest and Southwest: men who kuew little of the sea, but every hazard of mountain and desert. Not far from him. stood a younger man, solitary like himself, whose serious eyes traced the fog maze curiously, and seemed to find less novelty in the ship than in his fellow- voyagers. Some dunnage bags, tied In sailor fashion, lay on the wharf at the feet of the young observer. A faded reefer jacket fitted fiis broad shoulders with But to the men on the wharf, the snug effect that sailors call is derelict was an ar^oav Hor “sea-going,” and the same stamp this derelict was an argosy. Her mnsty reek of cresote, bilge and old ropes was the aroma of ro mance. The brawl of the trucks that loaded her was a song of gold. And there was, in fact, a weav ing tilt of music in the roar. It came from a quieter eddy in the tog where a man was playing an accordion, as he leaned against an upturned bale of hay near the •hip's side. Ignored by the crowd and Ignoring them, he poured into the din a lazing medley that dissolved there as vaguely as the mist—so skillfully pitched that its source was hardly noticeable. His frayed corduroy clothes, the harked leather of his riding boots, his lean, rangy figure and snn-browned skin, did not dis tinguish him in that weathered company. Clearer light might have defined a certain wary chal lenge in his good-humored gray eyes, or have drawn atteolion to an odd scar that cut the cor ner of his mouth, accenting his look of high temper and Gnn scar.s were not a spacial WATCH YOOH IIOHEYS!

As the fog did not hide the two men from each other’s view it had the effect of bringing them nearer, while sharpening the contrast between them. They were strongly built in different wa.vs; as oak and steel are dif ferent. The younger man looked sturdier; the man with the ac cordion concealed under his idle posture the quick resilience of tempered metal. Both were sun tanned—if the ruddy brown of sea-sun can be compared to the dry bronze of the desert and the range. The boy’s hair was dark and curly; the other’s of a sun- rusted color, and cut close, like a trooper’s. Both had steady eyes, but where the hoy’s blue eyes re flected a sober discipline and the positive clarity of youth, the other’s held a .shade of half- mocking tolerance, as if lie took the world as he tonmi it. and had found it mi.xed. Some sense of this, perhaps, drew the musitdan's eyes for a curious instant on his listener. Uooking away again into the veiled shimmer beyond the wharf, he began playing tlie tune of an old .sea ballad. “In ei.ghteen ilniidred and sev enty-six I found myself in a hell of a fix . . .” •At the quick light of recogni tion in the hoy's face, he masked a gleam of amused interest. "Is that a Boston song?” he asked. The hoy smiled. “My people ii.sed to sail ships out of Boston. I’ve heard tile song since I was a nippei-.” "Figured it was a line shot yon come from that coast.” said the accordian player. "I’d take you to he from the NTorthwest." lie ventured, uncer- taiuly. “Your eye’s good, Bud,’’ re plied the musician with a twin kle, as he improvised a series of chords. "But I been up and down a few. Ever hear thi.s . . .?’’ and he began, after a deep in take of the accordion, the ches ty ballad of Jack Donahue the Highwayman. Then it drifted into music unfamiliar to liiin: half-barbaric and half-devotional melodies of the Western ranges, such as “Bill Roy" and ‘ Mon tana Kid.’’ In the midst of this repetory the piping cry of a new.sboy who came down the wharf shouting: “Extryll Buck Solo .Makes His Bast Stand!! I’o.s.se Surrounds Bandit in Mountain Pass!! Ex tra!’’ The accordion player lifted his head hut did not pause in his playing, though the newsy’s cry echoed a story which had been as keenly argued in the West that mouth as the Corbett-Pitz- simmons fight. An unidentified gunman on a buckskin horse had ridden into a Nevada mining camp at night, trailing a man whom he seemed to have mis taken for some enemy. The mis take had caused a blazing gun battle in the dark street, from which he escaped. Not long aft erwards the buckskin reappeared on the Deer’s Lodge trail in Mon- tant, where its rider had stopped a stage to search the passengers. Strange to say, no money had been taken, but an express mes- isenger, trying to catch him off guard, had been shot.

When the posse rode in, an hour behind him, the gamblers he had entertained were sketchy in their description. As he had changed horses the marshals had little to guide them, but they suspected howevftr, I him of being a wide-ranging gambler and outlaw known of in the northwest as "Buck Tracy.’’ His trail, lost at Clark’s Fork, had been picked up again cross ing the Coeur D’AIenes through Idaho, and the Interest excited by the long and desperate chase began to close a net around him. The boy bought a paper and read the news bulletin. “They’ve got hin cornered In the Okana gan country,’’ he said to the man with the accordion. “He won’t escape now.” “Kind of hope he don’t?” ask ed the other, without looking up from his playing. “I hope he gets the full pen alty of the law,” was the boy’s uncompromising answer. “He de serves It.’’ The Westerner glanced at him quaintly. “Full penalty of the law. Bud, would leave ye kind of short of lawyers. If you rammed it home. Not that this maverick is worth a cuss. But neither is the outfit that’s doggin’ him, and neither was the express rider he downed. I ain’t so dead set on seein’ him hanged. Hope he die.’ shootin’.’’ The fog had lightened a little, and a gangplank now lumbered down from the steamer’s boat deck. As the boy was assembling his dunnage bags, he found him self under tlie scrutiny of an of ficial-looking person who had appeared abruptly out of the mist, and stood framed in it, a few yards away. The officer’s eyes grew less sharp on meeting his. and turned in a more casual way on his companion, who had closed the accordion case* and was leaning over to fasten it. “You two together?” The boy nodded. It seemed unnecessary to explain that he and the accordion player were only chance acquaintances. Some official for the shipping com pany. he thought, was making a check-up of passengers. With another glance at the man with the accordian, the of ficer passed on. The Westerner threw a roll of blankets over his arm. pat his accordion under it. and lifting one of tlie boy’s packs witTT his free hand, wedged through the crowd that was swarming up the gangway. They found the cabin and covered part.s of the -deck al ready claimed, but there was a •sheltered space under a lifeboat aft of the main cabin, where the boy stowed his burden. Noticing that his companion still kept the blankets on his shoulder, he pushed his stuff aside to make more room. The other considered him soberly. ’Yon •listen to me like a good gun, Bnd. in spite of them stern ideas about the law,” he said. ‘Ever hit a boggy crossin' I’ll stand by ye. My name’s Speed -Malone.” .And ho held out his hand. “.Mine’s Ed Maitland,” the hoy answered, somewliat puzzled at his earnestness. Dropping his light pack in the cleared space, the man rolled a cigarette, and while crimping the edge of the paper, look a rov ing look along the deck. Then he mad® a back-rest of the blankets, and stretched iiimself comfortably, relaxing as from a long physical strain while he smoked and watched the crowd through half-closed eyes—still somehow as observant as ever of each approach. A deep shudder ran through the ship, as the gates rattled shut. Hawsers, thrown from the bilts, splashed into the gloomy chasm between ship and wharf, and the sidewheeler cast off in a ponderoius churning of white water, dropping a veil between herself and the pier with a swift ness that owed less tc her pick up than to the opaqueness of the fog. As if the uncertainties of the venture where not high enough, she was no sooner in the chan nel than the click of dice, chips and coins began to rattle a care less measure above the voices of the mist. Embarked for the realm of gold, the miners were “shootihg” their money with an easy mind. The Wlesterner shitted his at tention from the rotted stay lines of the lifeboat, and sat up to roll a fresh cigarette. Maitland notic ed that two men, a little to their right, had turned a tarpaulined bale into a card table. One of them looked his wa,y, with an in vitation to join the game. When he declined, the man called over to Speed, “Play a hand of cards.

If you kin play Solo, the tune is whur you want to set it.” A faint reserve which had shown in Speed’s face at mention of the game, vanished in a smile. “I on’y play that game by ear,’’ he said. “Didn’t aim to scare ye none,” was the condescending answer. “Which you gets me wrong,” amended Speed, in the present tense of polite discourse. “What I shring from is exposin’ your gifted Mormon duet to the cold air without its pants, coat and vest.’’^ “Stim’lated a heap,” rejoined the man from Utah, “we stoifles ever’ scroople and stawrts the play. Stack ’em up. Bill. Gent al lows he’s a Solo player.” On the point of rising, Speed said to Maitland in an under tone. “Stake me ten dollars. Bud.” Ten dollar.s happened to be half the boy’s cash, and the idea that the man called Speed had started north with neither outfit nor money was almost incredible. But the request was made so candidly that after a moment’s hesitation he shook a gold piece from his limp purse. With a curious pause before accepting it, the Westerner ask ed. “You figure these shorthorns can outplay me?’’ "I was only thinking,” Mait land said, “that gambling is a loser’s .game.’’ His companion grinned. “If yon wasn’t a natural-born gam bler, Bud, you wouldn’t be on this ship. Watch us lose.” Tlie sweet singers preluded their harmony with a consider ate warning. “Removin’ gold mines from gamlilers is our daily routine, stranger. We’ll set a quarter point, unle.ss you feel hankerin’s for ruin in a bigger way.” "Quarter suits me.” said Speed modestly, and made a precarious club hid which they passed with becoming gravity. On the com pletion of the final trick, how ever. their attention became more exact.
