For 30 years they had been “pard
ners," had worked or played, enjoyed
or suffered, and fed or starved to
gether. Neither the desert's vastness,
the mountain's ruggedness, nor the
forest’s impenetrableness had been
strong enough to separate them, but
now that mightier thing, the love of
woman, threatened to come between.
Singularly enough It all rame about,
as good old Hugh McCarthy, who
Dwrned the claim farther up the canyon,
said, because of “the buttin’ in of civ
ilization.’’ And Hugh ought to know,
because for ten years lie had been
their only neighbor within a day’s
ride.
The Abpalino. as it meandered along
the line trying to find whether it
flowed In California or Oregon, wasn’t
very rich In gold: “jest. fair diggin’s—
yes, jest, fair diggin’s,” the partners
had truthfully told the forlorn-look
ing Jim Sands, when he first appeared
on the scene with the woman, then
his wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim, “not hankerin’
much fur riches.” staked as their
claim the regulation number of feet a
mile below. Then, as Hugh said,
“Jim had caused a heap of trouble by
gettin’ up and dyin’." That was less
than a year after his arrival.
Neither tears nor weeds were af
fected by the widow; she was a little*
too used to “tough luck” and a little
too angular and sharp-featured for
either. One of the kind of women who
seem to take nearly everything as a
matter of course and all in the day’s
work. But the partners were tender
hearted old fellows, as becomes men
whose lives had been passed out In
“fwwrwgrma open, nun i...... __
of Sand’s death their trouble began.
Life with them had assumed great
method, passing along fixed lines and
within definite times. Their routine
being broken upon, through the neces
ity of “lookin' after the widder” each
twilight after the day’s toll, was real
ly the first little crack within the file.
It isn’t on record anywhere whether
Abner or Ezra was the one who first
thought of going to her assistance, but
it’s most probable that both thought
of it. at the same tim\ The effect,
however, was quite obvious.
Now that there was a widow a mile
down the canyon, the grass didn't look
so nice and the bushes weren’t so
trim, and it didn't take a pair of field
glasses to find a weed here and there
In the garden. That's what Hugh
said.
V
It went on this way quite a while,
until after ihey had out wood enough
to run the Samis derelict through the
winter and were ready u haul and
idle it in her cache. And in the mean
time the cumulative result was that !
Lath loved the widow, and both want
ed to marry her. and each kept quiet
because ho didn’t want to hurt his
partner’s feelings.
The widow was a willing sort, and I
would probably have just as soon ac
cepted one as the other,
i One night, after they had trudged
through the darkness to their own
cabin, lighted the lamp and taker
their regular seats in regular places
on opposite sides of it, Abner broke !
silence.
“ "Ezry,” he said, with an odd little
quaver in his voice, ’’you've got to j
marry the widder. 1 give you my 1
consent. ’Tain t fair to a woman to
pay her as much attention as you nave
without marryin’ her.”
Although Ezra wanted mightily to
marry the widow, he didn t want to
leave Abner, and it hurt his heart
that Abner wanted to “marry him off
Ihat-a-way."
His jaw dropped until his mouth
EUiig open, his eyes filled to the brim
with tears, and he looked really old
He sat for a long time and gazed at
the floor, a picture of utter dejection.
“Abner,” he said, after he could
trust himself to speak, “l ain't done
nothin' to you, hev 1? Ye don’t want
to get shet of me- do you?”
Then they both broke down about
as far as they could, neither wishing
to show his emotions to the other, and
ended by discussing the trying situa
tion from all points of view. Abner
wasn’t altogether frank, though; he
practised deception by insisting that
he didn't love the widow. Their con
fidence brought forth one result, and
that was—the partition. There had
been so many mental reviews of the
years past that both realized the 1m
possibility or living under separate
roots.
They slept in a double-decked bunk,
one above the other, over against th°

their lives.
The former Mrs. Sands didn’t seem
o mind much.
About a hundred feet below their
nbin the partners built one for her
nueh more pretentious than their
vn. They devoted great time and
rare to its fitting—and wrought w 11.
And with her went the partition from
the older home—a menace destroyed,
■'"hen they dropped hack as nearly as
Possible’into the old life and tried to
egi(just themselves. They invariably
i assed a portion of the evening with
her and. as befitted gentlemen,
vorked for her happiness. It is doubt
ful if ever she had been as happy.
One day she died. They gently laid
her away where she had wished, up
j i>n the hillside bank of the garden,
.here the little cross they afterward
-rooted could always look down upon
• hem in loving remembrance and
gratitude for giving her the happiest
days she had ever known.
The flowers of spring snuggled

aek care in their nurturing, for each
eight two loving old men carried wa
ter for their replenishing and
wrenched away vagrant, weeds.
It was on the anniversary of her
death that they made the lawt oblitera
tion. No one knows whether they had
ver discussed it in words. It was as
■venlng—the long, quiet evening—
came that, together they walked to the
cabin built for her, and occupied by
none but her, and to it applied the
torch.
They sat In silence, these two old
men, until naught remained but a few
! glowing heaps of logs, and the moon
had arisen, and the night was mellow'
with memories of the joys and trage
dies of their lives.
“You kin see down the canyon jest
: the way we uster before we built it,”
said Ezra, with a great, gentle, long
ing tenderness.
‘ Yes, kin see down jest the way
ve uster before we built it,” came the
vistfully answering voice, softly,
lest the way we uster.”
And they silently entered their
\ome. for the first time in their lives
old’.ng each other's hand. The door
.used behind them, the embers died
ut, and the great sheltering Father
•f Night stretched shielding palms
>ver the cabin, the little cross on the
lill, and all those things which
‘ looked jest as they uster."
Don’t neglect the later spraying ap*

ject tali justice. _
