too. and the streets are full of slow.
It's a fciprht:"
"Tell me about 3Irs. Gordon."
"She's quite a person," said Slater
slowly. "She surprised me. She's
there, alone with him and a watehnian.
She does all the work, even to kipruiiu;
in the wood and eoal he's too busy
to help, but she won't leave him. She
told use that Dan and Natalie wanted
her to eome over here, but she couldn't

in any way.' Gordon spends all his
time at his desk, promoting, writing
ad, and prospectuses. He's prot a
p;rand scheme. He's found thru "Hope
Consolidated' is full of rich ore. but
the trouble is in prettinp: it out. so he's
working on a new process of extrac
tion. It's a wonderful process you'd
never pruess what it is. He smokes it
out! He says alb he needs is plenty of
smoke. That bothered him until he hit
on the idea of burninpr feathers. Now
he's jilanninpr to raise ducks, because
they've prot so much down. Isn't that
the limit? She'll Lave to lit him into a
padded cell sooner or later."
"Poor devil!" said O Neil. "I'm sor
ry. He had an unusual mind."
Slater sniffed. "I think it's pretty
soft for him myself. He's made better
than a standoff he lost his memory,
but he saved his skin. It's funny how
some men can't fall. If they slip on
a banana peel somebody shoves u
cushion under 'cm before they liprht. 1
never prot the best of anything. If I
dropped asiocp in church my wife
would divorce me and I'd pro to the
electric chair. Gordon robs widows
and orphans riprht and left, then ends
up with a lovinp: woman to take care
of him in his old acre. Why. if I even
robl.ed a blind puppy of a biscuit I'd
leave a thumb print on his oar or the
dosr's mother would turn out to be a
bloodhound. Anyhow. I'd spend my
declininpc years nestled up to a rock
pile with a mallet in ny mitt and a
low browed gentleman scowlinpr at me
from the top of a wall. He'd lean on
his shotrrun and say: 'Hurry up. Tat
ty. It's prettii-p: late, and there's a ton
of oakum to pick.' It just goes to
show that some of us are born behind
the prame and never pret even, while
others, like Gordon. ;uit winner, no
matter how much they lose." Ilav'mp:
relieved himself of this fervid homily.
Happy Tom unrolled a package of
puni and thrust three sticks into his
mouth. "Speakincr of bad luck." he
continued, "when are you going to pret
married. Murray?"
O'Xeil started. "Why never! It
isn't the same kind of proposition n
building a bridge, you know. There's
a little matter of youth and prood looks
that counts considerably in the mar
riage business. No woman would
have an old chap like me."
Slater took a mournful inventory of
his chief's person, then said doubtful
ly: "You might put it over. Murray. 1
ain't strictly handsome myself, but I
did." - I

after the fat man had slouched out. he

his bureau and paused. Ho leaned
forward and studied the careworn
countenance that peered forth at him.
then shook his head. He saw that thej
hair was growing grayer, that the face
wa- very plain, and yes. unquestion-j
ably it was no longer youthful. Of
course he didn't feel old. but the evi-j
deuce that he was so admitted of no!
disproof, and it was evidence of a sort
which no woman could disregard.
For a week the ice rose slowly, a.
foot a day. and in spite of the greatest
watchfulness it took the false work
with it here and there. I'.ut concen
trated effort at the critical points saved
the structure from serious injury.
Then the jam in front of Jackson prla
cier. went out. at least in part, and the
he began to fall. Down it settled,
smoothly, swiftly, until it rested once
more upon the shores. It was still as
linn as in midwinter and showed no

describe. With incredible rapidity the
he avy sections were laid in place. The
riveters K'gaii their niita'!i- -;::.
The towering three bent traveler ran
smoothly on its track, and end r it
grew a webwork of metal, bra-ed and
re-en forced to withstand. i:i addition to'
ordinary strains, the pressure of a b in
dred mile an hour wind. To those who
looked on the structure appeared to
build itself, like some dream edifice.
It seemed a miracle that human ban-Is
could work that stubborn metal so j
swiftly and with so little effort. But
every piece had been cut and tit toil
carefully, then checked and placed
where it was. accessible.
'Now that winter had broken sprint

The days were long. too. j-.d no

forking hours of the toilers.
On April IS the span was completed.
In thirteen days Melleu's lew had
laid -l"i ft-tt of the heaviest Mod ever
used in a brid-o of this type. But
there was no halt. The material for
the second section had. been assembled
meanwhile, and the traveler began to
swing it into p!a-e.
The din was unceasing. The clash f
riveters, the creak and rattle of heists,
the shouts of men. mingled iu a per
sistent, ear splitting clamor, and lot. t
by foot the girders readied out toward
the secomi monolith which rose from
the river K-d. The well adjusted hu
man machine was running smoothly.
Every man knew his place and the du
ties that went with it; the hands of
each worker were capable and .killed.

its fury. In six days X) feet more of
steel had been bolted f:;st to the o;ii-"
plete section, and span No. 2 was in
place. But the surface of the Salmon
was no longer white ami pure; it was
dirty and discolored now. for the de
bris which had collected daring the
past "winter was exposing itself. Tin
icy covering was partially inundated
also. Shallow ponds formed upon it
and Mere rippled by the south breo.:e.
Burning waters vi every side sang a
menace to the workers.
Then progress ceased abruptly. It
became known that a part of the mate
rial for the third span had gone astray
in its long journey across the conti
nent. There haTl been a delay at the
Pittsburgh mills, then a blockade in
the Sierras; O'Neil was in Omar at the
end of the cable straining every nerve
to have the shipment rushed through.
Mellen brooded over his uncompleted
work; Parker studied the dripping hills
and measured the melting snows. He
stilt smiled, but he showed his anxiety
ill a constant nervous unrest, and he
could not sleep.
At length news came that Johnny
Brennan had the steel aboard his ship
and had sailed. A record run was pre
dicted, but meanwhile the south wind
brought havoc n its breath. The sun
shone hotly into the valley of the, Sal
mon, and instead of warmth it brought
a chill to the hearts of those who
watched and waited.
Twelve endless, idle days crawled by.
Winter no longer gave battle: she was
routed a ml in her. mad retreat she
threatened to overwhelm O'Neil's for
tunes. On May 0 the needed bridge mem
bers were assembled, and the erect ion
of span C began. The original plan
had been to build this section on the
cantilever princiiIe. ' as to gain in
dependence of the river ice. but to d-
so would have meant slow won: anil
much delay an expenditure of time j
which the terms of the option made!
impossible. Arrangements had been
made, therefore, to lay it n fal-e
Work, as the other spans had. been
laid, risking everything upon the
weather. I
As a matter of precaution the south- !
cni half of the span was couueeff-d to ;
the coiimlettd portion, but before thej
connection couhkjbe fully made the re-N
mainder of the jam iu front of Jack-?

trouble heretofore, went out suddenly, j
and the river ice moved elown.-trcam
about a foot, carrying with it the1
whole intricate system of supporting j
limbers beneath the u:i omplett J -span, j
Hasty measurements showed that the
north end of the steel then on the
fajse. work was thirteen inches out of
line.
It was Mr. Blaine who brought the
tidinprs of this last calamity to I.Uza
Appleton. From his evident anxiety
she gathered that the matter was of
prraver consequence than she could well
understand.
"Thirteen inches in l.otHl feet can't
amount to much," she said vaguely.
Blaine smiled iu spite of himself.
"You don't understand. It's as bad as
thirteen foot, for the work can't pro on
until everything is in perfect align
ment. That whole forest of piles must
be straightened."
"Impossible!" she praspel. "Why.
there are thousands of them."
He shook his head, still
smiling i
doubtfully. "Nothing is impossible to

This is getting on my

Out on tl'.e river swift work was p-o-ing
on. Steam from every available
boiler was carried across the ice iu
feed pipes, the night shaft had been
roused from s!e: p. and every available
man was busied in relieving the pres
sure. Pile drivers hammered long tim
bers into the river bed above the
threatened point, hydraulic jacks were
pur hi place, and steel cables were run
to drum am.l pulley. The men worked
sometimes knee deep in i e water, but

it was a maguhi'-ent feat, yet not one
. f these
con-'crned in it could feel con
fident that tin- work bail not been done
in vain, for the time was growing ter
ribly shoit. and. although the ice seem
ed solid, it was rotting fast.
After the southern half of the span
had been completed the warmth in
creased rapkliy. Therefore the steel
cre'v lengthened its hours. The nun
worked from 7 o'clock iu the morning '
until 11 o'clock at night. j
)n the l"th. without warning of any j
sort. Oarhehl glacier began moving for- '
ward. It had lain inactive even during i
the midwinter thaw which had started !
its smaller brother, but that warm j
sped had evidently had its effect upon j
the giant, for now he shook o.T his t
lethargy and awoke. lie stirred, g-ad- j
ually at tirt and without sound, as if j
I-ent upon surprising tl'.e interlopers; j
then his speed increased. As tin? gla- J
cier advam ed it thrust the nine foot I
blanket of lake ice ahead of it. and
this in turn crowded the river iee
d -'.vn up-.)!i the bridge. 'The movement
at the camp site en the first day was
only two inches, but that was sutfi
cicr.tly serious.
The ouet of Cariieid at this time
was. of course, unexpected, for no for
ward moti-m had ever 1 eon reported
prior to the spring breakup. The ac
tion of the ice heretofore had b-on
alarming. but. now consternation
spread. A panic- swept the ranks of
the builders, for thi was no short
lived phenomenon. This was the an
nual march of the glacier ilself. which
promised to continue indefinitely. A
tremendous cutting edge, nine feet in
thickness, like the blade of a carpen
ter's plane, was being driven against
the bridge by an irresistible force.
Once a'min the endless thawing and
chopping and gouging of ice began, but
th- more rapidly the e-ucroaching edge
was cut away the more swiftly did it
bear down. The huge mass began to
rumble: it "calved." it split, it detonat
ed, and. having finally loosened itself
l'ro:.-i its bed. it acquired increased mo
mentum. As the men with chisel.? and
ytcimpoints became exhausted others
took their places, but the structural
gang clung to its peivh above, aug
menting the din of riveters and the
groaning of blocks and tackle. Among
the abh bodied men sleep now was out
of the question, for the ice gained in j
spite t-r every eiiort. it was ioo nue
to remove the steel iu the uncomplet
ed span to a place of safety, for that
woul d have required more time than j
to bridge the remaining gap.
Piling began to buckle and bend be
fore that irresistible push. The whole
nicely balanced mass of metal was in
da tiger of being unseated. Mellen
cursed the heavens in a black fury;
I'arker smiled through white lips;
O'Neil ground his teeth and spurred
Ids men. on.
This, feverish haste brought its-penalty.
On th'j evening of the 14th,
when the span was more than three
quarters linisbed, a lower chord section
fouled as it was lifted, and two load
ing beams at the top of the traveler
snapped.
Oji that day victory had Ik-cii in
Fight. The. driving of the last bolt had
been but a question of hours, a race
with the sliding ice. But with the
hoisting apparatus out of use work
baited. Swiftly, desperately.' without i
loss of a moment's time, repairs began.
No regrets were voiced, no effort was
made to pkre the blame, for

From the morning of May 14 until

their posts. The weaker ones gave nt '

At midnight of the 10th the last riv
et was driven, but the ice had gained
to such an extent that the lower chord
was buckled down stream about riprht
inches, and the distance was growing
steadily. Quickly the traveler was
shifted to the .false .work beyond the
pier, and the men under Melleu's direc
tion fed to splitting out the bloc-king.

now. Many of them were all but sub -
merged. There was no possibility of
saving them at present, for the men

rest of his -boys,"' he saw Natalie and
Eliza, but he was too tired to speak to

heard the workmen cheering Mellen
and I'arker and himself. It was very
foolish, he thought, to cheer, since the
river had so nearly triumphed and the
fmal test was yet to come.
He fell upon his bed clothed as he
was." An hour later the false work
beneath span 3 collapsed.
Although the bridge was not yet fin
ished, the most critical point of its
construction had been passed, for the
fourth and final portion would be built
over shallow water, and no great diffi
culties were to be expected even
though the ice went out before the
work was Gnished. But Murray had
made his promise and his boast to
complete the structureMwithin a stated
time, and he was determined to live
up to the very letter of his agreement
with the trust. As to the result of the
breakup he had no fear whatever.
Por once nature aided him. She
seemed to smile as if in approval of
his steadfastness. The movement of
the channel ice became irregular, spas
modic, but it remained firm until the
last span had been put in place.
