A letter came announcing the coming of the wife on the next stage. "It will make no difference," declared the husband. "You will like the wife." But the friend in thinking it over began to fear the woman and the restraint her presence might bring. He concluded to go away and left a note behind surrendering his share of the claim to the other. Once in the mountain he realized his fears were foolish and returned to the home where he was fast being forgotten. Then the wife's attention to the friend for her husband's sake aroused jealousy, and one day when the husband started out to dispose of their diggings over the mountains, Indians attacked the shack. With the wife the friend sought safer quarters. The jealous husband returned to find his home empty. Then came the fearful mistake. He pursued what he thought was the eloping pair and in his jealous rage shot at his friend. However great his repentance might have been he could not bring back the life of his friend.
