Washington Letter.

I I'rom ourKi'Kiiliir CorntsiiondiMil.) AVASIIINOTOK, Mar.-, 1!)08.

I'olilics coiUiiuies to l)c tlie ciilef iiiteresl in Washington despile llic I'aeb tliat tlie polil;ical news is all one way. There is still the sanicdeter-(iiined opposition to Secretary 'I-'al'L .(in liie part of poliLieians who are c'iominated lj.y tlie inLcrcst.s, an oppo-.'.-iition whicii is not personal i)ut ari.ses I'roMr tlie fear thai Taft will be loyal 1.0 the l!oo.sove!t. policies on the one liaiul and from hatred of I'resident Itoosevelt on one other. And yet, Mils opposition is acconipli.sliin;,Miotli-iiiK'. .Tlie peoi)loare not in .sympathy wiUi it and as loni,' as that Is the sit-f,iat.ion there seems to Ijc little lilcli-h'.iod of lis success. Tlie one hope of •anl,i-'l'aft crowd is to control tiie con­vention Ijy the use of conle.stiiiir dele­gations from the sontliern states. 'I'liere are too many wi.se politicians in tlic republican jiarty'il i.s believed, -.however, to permit tiiat proj,n'ams lioinc cai ried on;. Tlie party liad one ;;ierioiis e.x|ierieiu'0 with one candidate •wliose nomination was tainted witli unfairness and trickery. I refer to Mie case of Fol).'er of New Vorlc wlio was nominated for Oovcrnor and wlio ran ajjainst Grover Cleveland for the .governorship of '.helOinpire State, it was learned after the convention that Mr. I'Vil er had Ijeen nominated by iihen.se of a I'orKOd lele fram and the '.osuli was that rieveland carried liie slale by 1111,(101) iiiajorit-y. Is it lilcely rnal the republican parly will repeat i.hat disasterous'e.xperiment in a nat­ional convention?

ra-ceiitly there lias been an atieiiipt lo stir uiioppnsiiion to llie i'resident b.v dispatclies doclariiiH' that he is ieally wTjrl<inj.r for a liiird term. If people would nnlylliinl(, tliey would discover that reports of thiscliarac-ler come only from .sources anla!,fonis-iMc. to the President, .sources wliicli iiiavc tlie least, opportuidly of l<now-Intf wliat his real wishes and motives are. Mr. lioosevelt is notscelcintja third term, will not accept one, and is in dead earnest in his desire to I'lave Secretary Taft nominated liotii tiecau.se lie re jards Secretary Taft as preeminently tlie best man for tlie I'lace and because he is convinced that no other candsdate would carry :hc election.

« The fact is liiat tlio liberal move­

ment wliidi has been conceived and fostered Ijy ]*rcsident Kooscclt has won its way in ihe hearts of the peo­ple and they will have no reactionary candidate. 1 f they cannot get Roose­velt or Taft ihey will take Bryan, and no man appreciates that better ihan.Mr. Koo.sevclt. Moreover, it win be wholly impossible to deceive (lie people into believinf,' that ivnox or Ilutfhes or Cannon, or any otlicr man is a stauncli adherent of the ivooscvelt policies.

* Within the last week Missouri lias

Your family physician will verify the Statement that it is a positive fact that every child wiih sore throat is in immediate d.nn-rer of contracting Cronp, Quinsy, Tonsilitig or Diphtheria, and is not removed from th.it danger until the throat is cured. Think of it|

Liniments or outw.ird application oi medicines do not and cannot cure the ail­ment, though they may 'ofTor temporary roliof. Neither can you cure soro throat with .1 cough syrup or a cold cure.

To cure, you must got at tho scat of the disease, removing the cause. Nothing does that so quiclily, safely and surely as TONSILINE. A single dose of TONSEL-INE taken upon Ihn first appoar.ince of rore throat may save long weeks of sickness, great expcn.so, worry, oven death. TON* S1LINI2 is tho stitch in time.

Thai roof and ground lloor is cheap­er than labor and equipment necessary lo elevat ing goods and material to second or third story when land can be secured cheaply, is considered by many engaged in manufacturing to be a sound economic principle and any device or equipment that saves labor is desirable regardless of cost.

A few days ago the writer was priv­ileged to visit a farm on wliich are kept about 50.1iead of cattle. There were three hands, (the owner, his .son and a hired man,) engaged in caring for the stock wliich consisted of twelve horses and colts, a small swine herd, a small Hock of hens and "about 100 sheep besides the cattle. The hired man did nothing but chores. I noticed, that the granary where all the grain was" kept was so situated that all the grain had to be carried about eight rods. The grain for the horses liad to be carried about four-rods and for the liogs about the same. The hay was stored in the mows above, from which it was necessary to pitcli it onto the lloor, then through holes to the basement below where it was distributed to the mangers, making it necessary to handle the hay three times. The horse stable was ideal, in that the liivy was pitched directly from mow to manger. In the cattle barn the mangers were built across the narrow way of the barn parallel to each other. The manure was all carried out on a fork but none of it had to be carried far. However if the mangers had been built lengthwise and a carrier been used, the stables could have been cleaned in one-fourth of tlie time taken under the present arrangement. I mention this one case as an example. Too little thought and care is used in saving labor. Most everyone builds just*like or nearly like every one else. By arranging so that the hay could be fed directly from the mow, about $50 in time could be saved to this man each sea­son. By the most economical method of cleaning the stable about $25 more could lie saved. By having grain stored In both cattle and horse barns and handily arranged, a still greater savlngcould beellected. Hogsshould be fed without ilie necessity of carry­ing feed and water; water tanks and pipes are cheaper than legs and sole leather. Corn bins are as easily con­structed above or beside the feeding lloor for the hogs as they are rods away. The man with only a few head of horses, cattle and hogs, never sees how much time he Is wasting. Nor docs the small farmer and sometimes tho larger farmer as well, always appreciate labor saving tools.

There Is known to the writer a young man who put over $900 worth of beans Into market one season be­sides raising a considerable quantity of hay, oats, wheat and corn, all with $5 worth of hired labor. No hand fork was touched to these beans un­til they were in the mow. Biit more of this man, his methods and achlev-ments later. • < '

March 4, the Tourist Club met at the home of Capt. and ^frs. C. E. Sayrc, Mrs. Sayre being the leader for that evening, lookcomman'd after the usual roll call and responses, the latter of which, with l'ewc.\ceptlons, being brief and to tlie point:one little word of two syllables doing duly for the authors and other disling.uished men supposed to supply thought for the occasion, For music, a prellv ,song by ^ .lsses Emily Sayre and ^liri-am Longyear, followed a piano solo by Afiss Sayre.

Mrs, FuUerton's paper upon the isle of Man wits read by Mr, li'ullerton. It was an excellent paper, and was greatly enjoyed by the club; but it wasa disappointment lo those present that the serious illness of Mrs. Fuller-ton prevented her being present. As one method of prcparalion for inler-esling tlie members of the club in her topic, iMvs. FuUerton had visited a friend of tlie great Manx author, Hall Cainc, and gathered information con­cerning the little Manx nation, that could hardly be given on paper, atrtl which >rrs. Fullerlon's ab.sciicc de­prived the club from obtaining by the usual medium of an after talk. Fiiie pictures of various interesting scenes in and around the i.sland were .shown, and yet these did not compen.salc for llic alKencc of one wlio.se peculiar preparation for describing the topic for the evening's consideration was aimostetpial to that of an eye witness.

For the second paper of the evening, instead of a book review of "The Manxman," Mrs. Dart gave extracts from some of Uie most striking pass­ages in the "Manxman," "Hondman," aiK- others of Cainc's works, and these extracts, as reviewed by ^frs Dart, were among the best of the year's contribution lo the club's work. A general discu.ssion followed the read­ing of these selections, and Uien tlic audience in ii benign and gratilied frame of mind, partook of refresh­ments, accompanied by sweet music from the piano, evoked by Miss Lura Fullerloii.

Congressman Bede and the Young Book Agent.

.1. Adam is one of the most pictur­esque characters In Congress, .as well as an all around statesman. Ho sheds good nature and wisdom wherever he goes, and his jokes have much to do with leaving the proceedings of the House with cheerfulness, At home or tibroad, lie will have his joke.

Once when he was building a par­tition in his printing otllce, with his sleeves rolled up and a sUw in one hand, and in the other a stick of type .—for sawing wood and setting type at the same time is nothing for Adam— a young college lad appeared in the role of a full Hedged book agent. He .set out to explain liis mission and the nature of his book to Mr. Bede, who said, without raising his eyes from ills work:

"Don'tbotlier about name and con­tents—what's the price of the book."

"Three dollars," said the young .agent, rising to the occasion, but don't you wish to look it over and see—"

"No, I don't want to look it over, not on your life," said Adam. "You are in college?"

"Yes." "Trying to work your way through?" "Yes, Mr. Bede." "Well, 1 did the same. My cashier

will give you an order for tlie three dollars on any store for any thing you may need-then you sell it and get real cash—I can't. Go chase others while the day is yet young."

No one can talk long with Adam Bede witliout perceiving the scintilla­tion of ideas, bright as dew drops in the morning stih. He has parts of the "original Adam." and sometimes tires of telling people that he is In no way related to the Adam Bede of George Elliott's novel.—Joe Mitchell Chappie in National Magazine for March.

T h e Per i ls of Win te r C o l d s .

To, catch cold In winter is such a common occurrence that people can­not be tauglit to look upon it with anything like the gravity it warrants. Tlie result is, the cold is allowed to go unchecked, the delicate mucous surf­aces of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs become .acutely sensitive to sud­den changes in temperature, and be­fore the patient realizes his plight he is struggling in the grasp of tlie dread­ed grii).

While the sickness and misery pro­duced by the grip arc sulllciently se­rious to prostrate the ruggedest man or woman, it is during convalescence tiliat the real danger lies. Thessorc, inflamed surfaces present a particular­ly promising Held of development for pneumonia, which, It the patient sur­vives, leaves behind broken health and Pngering ills which invite all kinds of diseases.

At the llrst .sign of a cold the safe thing to do is to take PIso's Cure, and keep on taking It till tlie symptoms have entirely vanished. Even in tlie most advanced ani obstinate coughs and colds Piso's Cure will allord prompt relief, and if used persistently will cllect complete recovery. Used in cases ofjjgrip It speedily restores healthy conditions, and b' strengtli-ening and toning the delicate mem­branes safeguards the patient against future attacks.

Foley's Orlno Laxatlvj Is sold under a positive guarantee to cure constipa­tion, sick headache, stomach trouble, or any form of Indigestion. If it.falls the manufacturers refund your money. What more can any one do. Sold by all druggists of Ma.son.

.i.a.iu;,' to lioi' iiiLMiliil torincut w'li.s the c'oiislant vision ol' tlmt fiico In tlio curliiliifi lit llio Nortliorn. It was lioi-brotliLT, yot what uiystni'y sliro\ul(!a tills iifi'ali' also? What Uopt lilm from lior? AVliiit cnnsod lilin to slink away lll;o a Ihlef (Uscovered? Slio gfcw dizzy anil liysterlcnl.

Strnvo turned In Ills clialr ns tho •door to Ills jirlvato olllco oponod, tlion loapod to Ills foot at slfe'lit oC the fray ey(!d fe'lrl standiiiK tlioro.

"I raiiio for tlio papers," slio Raid. "I Uno\*' you would." Tlio blood went

•mit of Ills clieoUs, tlioii sur(,'od back up to Ills oyos. "It's a bargain then?"

Rim iiiuUlod. "Give tlioui to ino flrst." llo lan^hod unpleasantly. "Whatdo

you talio iiu! for? I'll Uoop iny part oC Uiu biirKaln If you'll Uoop yours. lUit this Is no place, nor tlmo. Tlioro's riot 111 llie iilr, and I'm busy picparlns for tonight, Conio back tomorrow •when It's all over."

Rut It was the terror of toulubl's do-IiiKs tlmt led her Into his power.

"I'll novt'r come back," .she said. "It Is my whim to know today—yes, at oiico."

Ho meditated for a tlmo. "Then to-<lay It shall be. I'll shirk tho IlKlit, I'll sacrllloo what .shrods of duty havo OIUIK; to me, because the fever for

_ you is In my bonus, and It seeiiis to iiio ' I'd do murder for It. That's the kind

of a man I am, and I have no pride In myself bocausft of It. Hut I've always lieon that way. We'll, ride to tho SlRii of llu! Sled. It's a romantic Utile road-i house ten miles from here, perched

iil,'h above tho Snake river trail. We'll take dinner there loj;otlier."

"Hut tho papers?" "I'll have tlioin with mo. We'll start

In an hour." "In an hour," she echoed lifelessly

and loft lilni. He chuckled wlmly and seized tho

telephone. "Central —call the Sled road house-seven rings on tho Snako rlvor branch. Hello! That you, Shortz? This Is Struve, Anybody at the house? Good. Turn them away it they conio and say that you're clo.scd. None of your business. I'll be out about dark, so havo dinner for two. Spread yourself and keep the place clear. Goodby."

Streni;tlicned by Glenlster's note, Helen wont straight to the other wo­man and this time was not kept wait­ing nor Kreetod with sneers, but found Cherry cloaked In u shy dignity, which she clasped tightly about herself. Un­der her visitor's incoherence she lost |ier dlflldenco, however, and, when Helen had lliilshod, reranrkcd, wltli de­cision: "Don't go with him. He's n bad man."

"»ut I must. The blood of those men win bo on me If I don't stop this trag­edy. If those papers -toll the tale 1 think they do, I can call oft my uncle (ind make McNamara give back tho mines. You said Struve told you tho whole scheme. Did you see the proof?"

"No, I liavo only his word, but lie spoke of those docuinenLs repeatedly, saying thoy contained his instructions to tie up the mines lii order to give n footliold for the lawsuits. He bragged that tlie rest of tho gang were In his power and' that he could land tliem In the penitentiary for conspiracy. That's nil."

"It's the only chance," anld Helen. "They are sending soldiers to tlie Midas to lie In ambush, and you must warn tho vigilantes." Cherry paled at this nml ejaculated:

"Good Lord I Roy snld he'd lead nn attack tonight." Tho two stared at each other.

"If I succeed wltli Struve I can stop It all-nil of this Injustice nud crime— everything."

"Do you realize what you'ra risk­ing?" Cherry demanded. "That man Is an aulmnl. You'll have to kill blm to save yourself, and be'll never give up those proofs."

"Yc8, he will," Bald Helen ncrccly, "and I defy Ulm to harm me. The Sign of the Sled la a public roadhouse with n landlord, n telephone and otlier *• '""''• guests. Will you warn Mr. Glenlster about tbo troops?" "

"I will, and bless you for a brave girl. W a l t n moment." Cherry took from tbo dresser bcr tiny revolver. "Don't liesltnto to use this. I want you to know olso tliat I'm sorry for wbat I said yesterday."

As she hurried away Helen realized •with a Bliock the change that the past few months had wrought In her. In truth. It was as Glenlster had si^id. his nortbland worked strangely with Its denizens. Wliat of that shrinking

liluaen tiirouglioiit tlio iHiikllng. Wlieii-ever he descried a peculiarly desperate rulliaii the boss called him aside for private instruction nml gave minute description of a wide shouldered, erect youth In white hat and half boot.s. Gradually lio sot his trap with tlio men A'oorhees had raked from tho slums, and when it was done smiled to him­self. As ho thought It over ho cca.sod to regret the miscarrliigoof last nigiil's plan, for It had served to goad his ene­mies to tbo point ho desired, to tho point where thoy would rush to tlioir own undoing. Ho thought with ssitis-factlon of the role ho, would play in tho L'nitod States press when tho sensa­tional news of tills night's advontiiro caniu out. A court odiclal who dared to do his duty despite a lawless mob. \ receiver wlio turned a mldnigbt at­tack Into a rout and shambles. That la what tlioy would say. AVhat if he did ox-coed his authority thoreaftor? What If there >vero a scandal? Who would question? As to soldiers-no, doeldetliy no. lie wished no help of soldiers at this time.

The sight of a ship in the ofling to­ward dark caused him some uneasi­ness, for, notwithstanding the assur­ance that file course of justice in the San Francisco courts had boon clogged, lie knew lUil Wlieaton to bo a resource­ful lawyi^r and a determined man. Tlieroforo it reliovod him to note tbo rising gale, which precluded llie possi­bility of Interference from that source. Lot tliem come tomorrow if they

' ivould. V.y that tlmo some of the mines \vo\\h\ bo ownerless and his position

I stroiigtlipiied a lumdrodfold. j ITo teleplioned the mines (o throw I out guard!.', allliough he reasonod that I none hut madmen would think of striking there In the face of the warn­ing wlih.'h ho knew must havo been transmitted through Helen. Tutting on his raincoat he sought Stillman.

"Rrlng your nloco over to my place tonight. There's trouble In tlie air and I'm prepared for It,"

"She hasn't returned from her rlda yet. I'm afraid she's caught in the Htorm." Tho judge gazed nnxlougly Into the darkness.

During all tho long day the vlglhintes Iny In hfdlng, Impatient at their Idle­ness and wondering at the lack of ef­fort made toward their discovery, not dreaming that McXamara had more cleverly hidden plans behind. When Cherry's note of warning came they gathered In the back room aiid gave voice to their opinions.

"There's only one way to clear tho atmosphere," said tlio chairman.

"You hot," chorused tho other,«i. "They've garrisoned tho mines, so lot's Ro through the town and make a clean Job of It. Let's hang tho whole out­fit to one post."

This mot with general approval, Glonlsler alone demurring. Said ho: "I havo reasoned it out differently, and I want you to hear me through before deciding. Last night I got word from JVheaton that the California courts are against us., He attributes It to luducnco, but whatever the reason, wo are cut off from all legal help cither In this court or on appeal. Now, sup­pose we lynch these oiliclals tonight, what do we gain,? Martial law In two hours, our mines tied up for another year, and who knows what else? May­be a corrupter court next season. Sup­pose, on the other hand, we fall, and somehow I feel that we will, for that bo,ss Is no fool. What then? Those of ns who don't find the morgue will end In jail. You say we can't meet the soldiers. I say we can and must. We must carry this row to them. We must jump It past the courts of Alaska, past the courts of California, and tip to the White House, where there's one honest man, at least. Wen ius t do something to wake up the men In Washington. Wo must get out of poli­tics, for McNamnrn can beat us there. Although he's a strong man bo can't corrupt tbo president. We have ono shot left, and It must reach tbo Poto-

When Uncle Sam takes a band we'll get a square deal, so I say let us strike at tiio Midas tonight and take her if we can. Some of us will go ilown, but what of It?;.'

Following this barariguo, ho outlined a plan which' In Its unique daring took a way their breaths, and ns bo filled In detail after detail thoy brightened with excitement and that iovo of tbo long chance which makes gamblers of those who thread the silent valleys or tread tho edge of things. Ills boldness stirred them and enthusiasm did the' rest,

"All i want for myself," he said, "is It's

loose jointed' companion, and Slapjack showed bis toothless gums In answer, saying:

"Ho sure Is." A few more words and Gloulster, ac­

companied by theso two, slipped out into tlio whirling storm, and a halt hour later tlio rest followed. Quo by ono tho vigilantes left, tho blackness blot­ting tlioin up an arm's length from the door, till at last the big, bleak warebouso echoed hollowly to the voice of llic wind and water.

Over In tho eastern end of (he towu, behind dark windows upon which tbo sliooted rain beat furiously, other armed men lay patlonlly waiting— walling some word from tho bulky shadow which stood with folded arni.s close against a square of gray, wliilo over their heads a wretched old man paced back and forth, wringing his liaiuls, pausing at every turn to poor out into tbo night and to mumble the name of bis sister's child.

E CHAPTEU XIX.

Vl'l.Y in the evening Cherry Ma-lotto opened her door to llnd tho Itroiico Kid on her step. Ho entered and threw off his rub­

ber coat. Knowing him well, slio wait­ed for his disclosure of ills errand. His sallow skill was without a trace of color. Ills eyes were strangely tired, deep lines had gathered about his lips, Willie ills hands kept up consUiut liUle nervous explorations as tiiougii for days and uigiils he liad not slept and now hovered on the verge of some hys­teria, lie gave her the Impression of a-smoidering mine wlt^j the fire eating close up to the powder. She Judged that his body had been racked by ev-, cry passion till now it hung jadiid and weary, fielding only to the spur of his restless, revengeful spirit.

After a few objectless remarks ho began abruiitly:

"Do you love Roy Gleiiistor?" His voice, like his manner, was Jealously eager, and he watched her carefully as she replied without (piibbio or deceit:

"Yes, Kid, and 1 always shall. Ho is lio only true man I have ever known,

and I'm not ashamed of my feelings." \'ov n I.ing lime ho studied her and

then broke Into rajild speech, allowing her no time for Interruption.

"I've held back and held back be­cause I'm no talkor. I can't bo in my business. Itut this Is my last chance, and I want to put myself right with you. I've loved you ever since tho Dawson days, not in tho way you'd expect from a man of my sort perhaps, but with the kind of love that a wo­man wants. I never showed my hand, for what was tho use? That man out-held me. I'd havo quit faro years back only 1 wouldn't leavo this country as long as you were part of It, and up here I'm only a gambler, fit for nothing

She root h e r ' appointment with Struve, and they rode away together, be talkative and elated, atieaUont and ley.

"We'll go you," tho miners chimed to a man, And the chairman added: "Lot's have Glenlster lend this forlorn liope. I am willing to stand or fall on his Judgment." They acquiesced witii-out a dissenting voice, and with the firm liands of a naturai leader the young man took control.

"Let's hurry up," said one. "It's a long 'mush' and tiie mud is'knee deep."

else. I'd made up my mind to let you have him till something happened a couple of months ago, but now it can't go through. I'll have to down him. It isn't concerning you. I'm not a wolcher. No, It's a thing I can't talk about—a thing that's made mo Into a wolf, made me skulk and walk the alleys like a dago. It's put murder Into my heart. I've tried to assassi­nate him. I tried It here last night— but—I was a gentleman once—till tho cards came. Ho knows the answer now, though, and he's ready for mo, so ono of us will go out like a candio when we meet. I felt thjit I had to tell yon before I cut him down or be­fore he got me."

"You're talking like n madman. Kid," she replied, "and you mustn't turn against him now. He has trou­bles enough. I never know you cared for ino. What a tangle It Is, to ho sure. You Iovo me, I love him, ho loves that girl, and she loves a crook. Isn't that tragedy enough without your adding to It? You conio at a bad time, too, for I'm half Insane. Thoro's something dreadful In tho air tonight"-

"I'll have to kill blm," tho man luut-tered doggedly, and, plead or reason as she would, she could get nothing from him except tho.so words till at last Bhe turned upon him fiercely.

"You say you love me. A'ery well, let's SCO It you do. I know the kind of a man you are, and I know what this feud will mean to him, coming lust at this time. Put It aside and I'll marrj' you."

Tho gambler rose slowly to his feet. "You do love him, don't you?" She Vowed bcr face, and ho winced, but lontlnued: "I wouldn't make you my ft'lfe that way. I didn't moan It that way." ' At this she laughed bitterly. "Oh, 1 see. Of course not. IIow foolish of mo to expect It of n man like you, I understand what you mean now, and the bargain will stand Just tho same, If that is what you came for. I wanted to leavo this life and be good, to go away and start over and play tbo game square, but I see it's no use. I'll pay. I know how relentless you are, and the price Is low enough. You can have me-and that—marriage talk - I ' l l not speak of again. I'll stay what I am for his sake."

"Stop!" cried the Kid. "You're wrong. Pm not that kind of a. sport." His voice broke suddenly. Its "vehem­ence shaking bis slim body. "Ob, Cher-17, I love yon tho woy a raaii ougiit to love n woman. It's ono of' the two good things left In mc, ond I want to take you away from here where w e can both hide from tbo past, where we can start now, as you say."

"You woulil marry me?" she nsUcd. ' "In un hour and give my Heart's

blood for tho privilege, but I vcan't stop- this thing, not even If your own dear life hung'upon it. • I m u s t kill that man," /

She npproaclict\ him and laid her arnia about his neck, every line of iter body., picadlug, but lie refused stead­fastly, while tho sweat atood out upon his brow.

She begged: "They're all ngnlnst blm, Kid. He's lighting a hopeless Ogbt. He lold all be had a t that.alrra

feet, and I'M do the same for you." The man fc'rowled savagely. "He got

his reward. He took all she had"— "Don't bo a fool. I guess 1 know.

You're a faro dealer, but you haven't any right to talk like that about a good woman, even to a bad one like me."

Into Ills dark eyes slowly crept a hungry look, and she felt him begin to tremble tlic least bit. Ho undertook to Bpoak, iiaused, wet his lips, then care­fully cliose those words;

"Do you mean—that ho did not—that she Is a—a good girl?"

"Absolutely." Ho sat down weakly and passed a

shaking hand over his face, which liad begun to twitch and Jerk again as it had on that night when his vengeance was thwarted.

"I may ns well toll you that I know she's more than that. She's honest and high prlncLpled. I don't know why I'm saying this, but It was on my mind and I was half distracted when you came. She's in danger tonight, though - a t this minute. 1 don't dare to think of what may Imve happened, for she's risked evcrytlilng to make reparation to Uoy ami his friends."

"What?" "Slie's gone to the Sign of tlie Sled

nione with Stnivo." "Struve!" slioutod the gambler, leap­

ing to his feet. "Alone with Struve on a night like this'/" Ho shook lieV llorcely, crying: "What for? Tell me quick!"

She recounted the reasons for Helen's adventure, while the man's face be­came terriblo. - "Oh, Kid, 1 am to blame for letting her go. Why did I do It? I'm afraid-afraid."

"Tlio Sign of the Sled belongs to Struve, and tho fellow who ruiiii It Is a rogue." The IJronco looked at the clock, lii j oyos liioodshot and dull like (hose of a goaded, tly maddened bull. "It's 8 o'clock now—ton miles—two hours. Too late!"

"What alls you?" she questioned, liallled by bis strange demeanor, "Vou railed me the one woman Jiisl now, and yet"-

Ho swung toward her heavily. "•She's my sister."

"Vour-slsler? Oh, I-l 'ni glad. I'm Rlad—but don't stand there like a wooden man, for you've work to do. Wako up. Can't you hear? She's in peril!" Her words whipiied liim out of Ills stupor so that ho drew himself somewhat under control. "Get Into your coat. Hurry! Hurry! My pony will take you there." She snatched his garinoiit from the chair and held It for him while the life ran back Into hia veins. Together they dashwl out Into the slorm as she and Uoy had done, mul as lie Hung the saddle on tho buck­skin, «he said:

"I inderstaud It all now. You heard too xaiK uDout ner and uiorifster; but It's wrong. I lied and schemed' and Intrigued agnlnst her, but It's over now. I guess there's a little streak of good In me somewhere, after all."

He spoke to her from tho saddle. "It's more than a streak, Cherry, and you're my Ulud of people." She smiled wauly back at him under the lantcrii, light.

"That's left handed, Kid. I don't want to bo your kind. I want to bo Vis kind-or your sister's kind."

, Upon leaving the rendezvous Glen­lster and his two friends slunk through the night, avoiding the life and lights of the town, while the wind surged out of tlio voids to seaward, driving Its wet burden through their fiapping slick­ers, pelting their faces as tho.ugh en­raged at Its failure to wash away tlie purposes written there. Their course brought them to n cabin at the wost-ci4i outskirts of the city, where they paused long enougli to adjust some-i».Ing beneath tho brims of their hats.

Past thorn ran the iron rails of the uarrow gauged road which led out

great ono eyed monster, wuicu starea with baleful fixity at bis vitals, giving him a cold and empty feeling. Away hack beyond this Cyclops of tho Sight-loss Orb were two other stningors like­wise equipped.

The fireinaii arose from his chair, dropping an empty shoo with a thump; but, being of tho west, without cavil or waste of wind ho stretched his hands above his head, balancing on ono foot to keep his unshod inembor from the damp fioor. Ho had unbuc­kled his bolt, and now, loosened by the movement, his overalls seemed bent on sinking lloorward In nn ecstasy of abashment at the intrusion, whereupon wl/,h convulsive grip ho hugged them to tlieir duty, ono hand and foot still olevatwl as though In tho grand balling sign of some secret order. The other man was new to tho ways of the north, so backed to the limit of his quarters, laid both hands protectlngly upon his middle and doubled up, remarking fer­vidly:

"Don't point that damned thing at my stomach."

"Ha, ha!" laughed tho llroiuan, with unnatural loudness. "Have your joko, boys."

"This ain't no Joke," said the fore­most Ugure, Its breath bellying out the mask at Its mouth.

"Sure It Is," Insisted tho shoeless ono. "Must be. Wo ain't got anything worlli stealing."

"Got Into your clothes and come along. Wo won't hurt you." The two obeyed and were taken to llio sleeping oiigino and there instructed to produce a full head of steam in thirty minutes or suffer a premature taking off and a prompt elision from the realms of ap­plied moclianlcs. As stimulus to their efforts two of the men stootl over them tin the eiigiiio began to sob and sigh reluctantly. Through the gloom that curtained tho cab they saw other dim forms materializing and climbing si­lently on to the cars behind. Then, as the steam gauge touched tho mark, the word w:is given, and the train rumbled out from Its shelter. Its shrill plaint at curb and crossing whlpiicd away and drowned In the storm.

Slapjack romalned In tho cab, gun In lap, while Dextry climbed back to Gleiiistor. Ho found tlie young man in good spirits, despite the discoiiu'ort of his exposed position, and striving to light Ills pipe behind the shelter of his coat.

"Is the dynamite aboard?" tho old mail questioned.

"Sure. Knoiigh to ballast a battlo-shlp."

As tho train crept out of tho camp and across the river bridge, its only light or glimmer the sparks that were snatched and harried by the blast, tho partners seated thomsolvcs on tho pow-ler cases and conversed guardedly,

while about them sounded tho low murmur of the men who risked theli all upon this cry to duty, who staked their lives and futures upon this haz­ard of the hills, because they thought it right.

"We've made a good fight, whether we win or lose tonight," said Dextry.

Roy replied, "My light is made and won."

"What does that mean?" "My hardest battle had notliing to

Jo with the Midas or the mlnes-of An-rll. 1 fought and conquered myself."

"Awful wet night for philosophy," the flrst remarked. "It's apt to sour on you like milk hi a thunderstorm. S'pose you put overalls an' giini boots on some of thetu Iloston Ideas an' lead 'em out where I can look 'em over an' find out what they're up to."

"I menu that I was a savage till I met Helen Chester and she made a man of me. It took sixty days, but I think she did a good job. I love the wild things just as much as ever, but I've learned that there are duties a fel­low owes to himself and to other peo­ple, if he'll only stop and think them Vit. I've found out, too, tliat the right filing Is usually the hardest to do. Ob, I've !nii)ro.ycd a lot."
