His uamo was Joe A grail Ionian in Golden had "grub staked" us— giving us enough provisions I to last for three months— with tho un. derstanding that lie was to liayo a third of any discoveries. We discovered nothing, and devoured the provisions down to the last bean in Uio last ran. Our elbows were sticking out of our sleeves, a quarter of a year*s beard brisUed on our chins, and we Itad not a live cent piece between us. This was exactly the state of our affairs when we came in sight of LcadvUJo on our return. • Wo approached tho camp from the southwest," and It was evening when we panned on the foothills, a lullo or so 1 away, looked down on tho glimmering I lights imd"held a council of war. Neither although wo Itad some hopes of finding friends in tho daytime, the prospect* of spending tho night lu a strongo town wore unpleasant. TV,, were not exactly .tramps, but it would have taken on expert to lave tobi the difference. The spot where we stopped was a desolate looking slope, strewn with bowlders, and 1 bare of vegetation, and presently Oixon called my attention to a large, square s. bouse that stood some little distance away, quite by itself. and seemed, from ; Its darkened windows, to he untenanted. "If it's empty," ho said, "suppose wo Bleep all night there, and in the morning wo can go into camp and rust!--." Wo acted upon Uio suggestion, and , proceeded to reconnolter tho premises. The house was a two story frame, well put together, in good repair, hot appar- , ently as empty as a drum. No response open the door, and walked . in. --Ilixnn struck a match, and wo looked around and found ourselves In a largo apartment, which, with another of tho same - sire, occupied tho whole lower floor. ' Both were furnished ^sparsely but well. • The front rotsn iuxl.a npgihsr of cliAirs, ; a table, and --verif UtUe conrehicnces i in it, and the rear contained •owpia of ; beds and a waabstand. On tlio table r were a lamp. a numls-r of- papers and > periodicals, all of tkqm elatod asrml months hack, and a large inkstand . in ■ which the writing fluid had caked from £ disuse. The air was rather ttiflxng, from r ail the windows brftig down, and the dust on the sills indicated that they had not been raised for some time. ■ of tho place, went up stairs. Kere were two bedrooms and a silting room, all 1 sreH furnished, and In ono of t£e bed1 room* hung a quantity of excellent - elothi^. The windows at this floor silent end lonesome as the grave. Wo went back ts the front roam, opaied ' upthedooreend windows, end proceeded , to make oorselvee at homo, a littlo pur- ■ sled, but satisfied that we had stumbled 1 into clover. To show that wo were en- ' tireiy open and honeot in .the matter wo \ sat in the front door and smoked, and i while we wrre thus occupied a man ' drove by on the rood, about a couple of hundred yards away.
