But could they have peeped into that same little cabin, they would have wondered no longer, for Smith Tahnidge fairly worshiped Niada and delighted in his gold chiefly for the protection it would give his daughter when she should be left alone. Then, the girl had still another cause for happiness; she and Bob Homer had been secretly engaged for weeks, and now awaited but the approval of her father, which, when he knew Bob thoroughly, Niada felt sure they would obtain. The miser, in going in search of his daughter, was passing Jim's saloon when the lovers appeared. Instantly a quarrel arose between the men and the result was one of Tahnidge's heart spells. This gave Will Danvers, gambler and all around crook, an opportunity to help the old man to his home. But his advances proved quite as fruitless with him as they had with the daughter, and he was compelled to leave without as much as a glance inside. That night, however, in peeping through the keyhole, he discovered where the old miser had hidden his hoard and. from then on, waited but for an opportunity to find the cabin alone. The opportunity came the next day, for, after intercepting a note to Niada from Bob and learning when she would be away, Danvers stationed himself at the side of the house and the instant Tahnidge stepped outside to call Niada, the gambler darted into the house. He had no sooner seized the gold, however, than the old man returned, a fierce struggle ensued, which might have proven fatal for the miser had not Bob arrived, for, being told by the boy that Danvers had read his note, the young man had hurried to the cabin to find out his motive. Tahnidge had scarcely time to thank his rescuer when he sank into unconsciousness, and the gambler, believing he was dead, ran to the saloon for the boys, telling them that Bob had killed the old man in an attempt to rob him. But as they started away with Bob, Niana appeared, and after restoring her father to consciousness, Tahnidge not only righted matters by sending the posse off with Danvers, but gladly gave his consent to the young people's marriage.
