'I"ut .Tot' lias l tvn Iiln, it for

O'Mara hose that point at which to
lauh softly. "Ani I. for a month.
Lavo been ruiiMilinir him. That's ouv
of Tat Jo'"s pot diversions!, you know.
"N'kon 'l other excitement fails .Toe
invo' fiills bark upon an iuia?rina

.-know arry Devereau?" he lin-
"Know Iiis father. UHiott answered
suvim t!y. "Know liim well. Good
Mo d. coml brain. ! lieart! WhyV"
And then for the second time that
Iay Steve related the salient points of
that episode which had ended with
the first pray streaks of returning day.
1 Hiring the recital the expressions
which chased across Elliott's face were
as varied a3 they were full of concern.
"Then I wasn't merely hysterica',
was I?"' he brooded after Steve had
finished. "Who who did you say you
thiMipbt .misrht be behind the man who
would Lave had your plans had it not
Ik-oh for Mr. i'evereau?"
"I didn't say," replied Steve, and for
the first time since hi? entrance there
was mirth in the unison of their laugh
ter. . .
"It all brings us back to the point
1 p m which we started." the younger
rn::n went on when they were srrave
apain. "It's a plain enough issue so
far as we are concerned. We've ct to
t-e at the mouth of that lower valley
by May. We're jroins to be! And as
I sec it. wasting time and enertry in
bliall we call it s'eullun?. Mr. Elliott?
i-won't help us much. We thought
that lack of time and the general na
ture of this country were p'in? to be
handicap enough, l'.ut now your mon
ey is in and I I never did li'.ve 1 be
le:ten. Can't we let it stand like that,
at least until some one else makes a
-plainer move? We know the cards we
liohl. If others care to sit in perhaps
we'll all come to a showdown next
tpvin-r at Thirty Mile. It'll be easv
onoutrh to explain just how we did it.
Alibi based en veiled opposition w u!d
not interest the Iteserve people much
if we left their timber there to- rot.
And I'm trying not to over
look any hots, Mr. Elliott."
Hastily the iron pray man thrust his
hat back from his forehead. He came
to iiis feet and crossed and clapped
one hand upon Steve's shoulder.
"Next May!" he barked. "rMnra.
I'm jrlad you came down this monnns.
I've been carrying a lot of those idea-
around in my head until they had' be
come r.Urhtinarish. Iut I'm through
'now. You won't hear me croak as.? in."'
I staked what I had on you months
npo. I'd do it aprain t iiis minute.
What's the odds, after all, who it
that's playm? us tr loseV It's oniy
the fact.hat somebody may be liht
1ns us that needs to occupy our atten
tion. I'm d'Hie worrying. Io you hear?
Tint -what, about those men who arc
quit l In? us? You are sure it would
be unwise t import labor? It's cheap
er, j on know.",
Steve, too. had risen.
'We'd have the prettiest kind of a
scrap on our hands the first day we
tried to use them." ho explained. "It
would be dead rnmisli Iiefore we got
through. I guos I U hotter run right
out and have a talk with McLean. ITe
knows these men even better than I
do. and I'm almost one oi them, you
know. And I'll get a line on some of
these delinquents who are crying ca
lamity for the countrywide. I'd better,
because we'll need them. They siia
jdy haven't become thoroughly inter
ested yet: that's all. It ""ill take some
th?iig to j..!t them, something1 to set
. tin-in on fire. And then then just
tt.-McIi my plaid shifted boys go!
They'll eat up your sledge swingers!"
Something of that promised fire was
rel'c. ted now in Ilardwkk Elliott's
eye--.
"Jty ;id." he exclaimed; "1V t'ad,
Jf it wasn't for Aiuneslcy. I'd say. the
thing was worth it. win or lose. just.
fv Mic game itself" You go ahead and
pec McLcnn. I'll be out there later
myself. I promised Allison that I'd
tdicw the works to some of the young
fo'r'v- up there on the hill. Ills daugh
terbut I keep forgetting that you've
known lirr longer than I have. There's
quite a rarty ef them. She announced
her engagement to Mr. Wickershan
last night. I believe. Heard that this
morning. Was too busy to g; up last
.night myself. Maybe you'll find time
to help mo play the host."
Sieve turned toward the door. "So
1 heard." be replied, without fating
arov'id. "I'll try to be on hand."
CHAPTER XII.
That Woods Rat.
"Vj lUVWEEX Dexter Alliens mo
I nopoly of his time and the
S-U-s persistence with which Mirl-
am Burred clung to Stephen
O'Mar.i Barbara Allison had opportu
nity for little mre than a iorfum-tory
vordc.r two of greeting that pfter
noo:i during the first hour or two that
followed a jolting ride on the flat car
which trundled them to the head of
operations. Almost as soon as her
feet touched the ground Miriam's eager
survey singled out a tall figure at the
edge of the farthest embankment, and
in spite of the fact that he was at
the moment in sober conversation with
white haired, white bearded McLean
she crossed instantly to take hold of
both of Steve's arms and have his un
divided attention. Barbara, at Wick
ersham's side, glancing now and then
in their direction, knew well what sub
ject was engrossing them to the ex
clusion of all else. I'.ut Allison's ac
ceptance of that arrangement as time
passed grew less patient.
For a time Allison was content to
stroll along with the rest content with
his facetious comments on Elliott's ex
planation of thus matter or that. Yet
whenever his eyes strayed toward
Miriam and that other figure whom
a week or two before e had designat
ed as "my man O'Mara" his jovially
faltered a little, his manner grew res
tive. After a time he. too. detached
himself and sauntered in the direction
of that wholly preoccupied pair.
"See here, my lady," he acco-ied the
girl, who turned extremely bright eyes
upon his approach, "this won't do at
alii How do you suppose I am going
to get a minute with Mr. O'Mara here
if you persist in clinging to his elbow V
You'll have to rim along. You run
over and listen with the rest to El
liott's heroic tale of this scarring of
the face of nature. I've waited a gcod
many days to talk business with Mr.
O'Mara. I'm mt going to loe him
now I've got him cornered."
Had Dexter Allison been less occu
pied with other thoughts the face which
Miriiru Iiurrcll turned toward him
would have surprised hi in if only be
cause of the unusual color burning in
her cheeks. At that he was vaguely
aware that he had never before seen
that quiet, self contained girl so puis
ingly happy. She stood and gazed at
him a moment, then made him a low
and mocking obeisance.
"Don't flatter yourself that I haven't
noted your covetous glances," Miriam
flashed at Allison. "I've been talking
very fast because I knew this inter
ruption was coming. Eut we've finish
ed, thank you. so I'll leave you to to
bore him now!"
She turned back toward O'Mara.
"And thank you." she murmured not
very audihiv. "Thank you iu :e tha i
I ever thanked anybody before in my
life. You've made me very, very hap
py." Xo one could have rni-sod the depth
of real .hankfuluess in those la.it
words. Even Allison stood astonish
ed at it, mouth open, following her
rapid withdrawal toward the group
fifty yards away
"Uuh-h-h." he snorted. "Huh-h-h. A
mighty stratge girl!" And then, as
abruptly as lie had interrupted their
low conversation: "Well, how does it
go. chief? How doe.s it look to you as
far as you've gone?"
No man's good humor could be more
infectious than was that of this, big.
noisily garbed man. Steve smiled and
met his cordiality more than halfway.
"Not too bad," Steve answered. "Not
too bad." He swept the ground before

'You've made me very, very happy.'
tlieru with a short gesture-
"You are
not beginning to worry, too, are you?"
"Worry?" Allison's frown was bare
ly perceptible. "Why should I? I
licver let anything worry me. Who is
beginning to fret? You aren't, are
you? Y'ou don't look much disturbeiu
"Not a rarlicde'"' Steve- still smiled.
"I never uo, either, unless there is
something worth while to make me.
I just thocglit perhaps you might have
contracted it from Mr. Elliott. JTle's
been bothered, you see. by the way
some of the men are acting. We're
short a lot of labor this week.'
The big man wheeled and squinted
at the dnWes of men sweating under
the unseasonably hot sun. He peered
keeJytehu,gef laborers, .some
t i r
JVii I", i, .
oT them scarcely uTTihguis.hable knots
of humanity in the distance.
"Not very short." he stated comfort
ably. "I don't claim to be a wholly
competent judge, but it looks to me as
though they would Up .la esc another's
way if there wore any more of them.
Whdt's wrong?"
The cLief engineer's answer was
drawling in its deliberation.
"I wlh I knew." he replied. "I wish
T could be nn;itive. And there aren't
to-., manv of them: thev are altogether
too few. Were go:ng to neeti mem,
and more, too, before we finish, Mr.
Allison. Terhaps I'd better figure on
perhaps if they continue to quit on
us. by twos and threes, as they have
in the last week, I'll have to"
His pause seemed almost an invita
tion that the other suggest a remedy,
and. whether it was or not. Dexter Alli
son was quick to seize the opening.
His suggested solution was heartily
bluff.
Import some more," he said. "When
you've employed these men as long as . Nice gentle old ladies when it comes
I have the. type of man who has : to a game like this. They're anachro
worked all his life on the river you'll ' nists; they are honest business men
know as well as I do just how uncer
tain and unreliable they are. What
you need is a gang that doesn't want
to think for itself. This crowd has too
much imagination for a grind like
this." '
Sieve nodded very thoughtfully.
"If it is all imagination," he won
dered. "But they're not merely dis
contented, you see, Mr. Allison. They
they are misleading themselves. They
seem to think, from what I've gather
ed from McLean and a few with whom
I have talked, that they are working
themselves out of a job for good wlien
they help to build this strip of rail
road. The.v think so. They have been
convinced that such is the truth. Per
sonally, however, I feel sure that be
tween us we can correct that impres
sion." Even though he was Ir.oking in the
direction of a heavy snyke cloud that
had followed a sharp bla.sjLo the north
of them, Steve felt the weight of Alli
son's questioning glance.
"We." he echoed. "Where do I fig
ure in it?"
The younger man's upward glance
was seemingly surprised.
"You? Why. you're a stockholder.
It means as much to you as it does to
Mr. Ainnesiey and Mr. Elliott."
Allison interrupted him.
'Of course:' he exclaimed. "Surely!
I see! What I mean was how in the
world can I make them understand
that such a fool idea is all wrong? So
far as this constructive work is con
cerned. I'm not an active member. I
I had that understood with Elliott
when I went into this thing'.''
"Of course." Steve in turn broke in.
"I understand that. Eut tiiey know
you; they know that Morrison would
be nothing more than a street of well
kept lawns and -cow pastures if you
hadn't seen its possibilities. And so
I've 4ready told some of them, Mr. Al
Ilron. 1'vs gone even further and giv
en a let of them my word that you'll
guarantee yourself that this is the big
gest thing or the good of this section
that has yet happened."
The speaker smiled frankly into the
bigger man's eyes.
And that was all they needed, was
it?" AHison queried, at length. "That
fixed it. did it?"
"Absolutely!" Steve's cheerincs
should have been infectious. "Abso
lutely. Mr. Al'isou. A lot cf people
have come to look on your word as law
in this country, you know a lot of
them!"
"Ilum-m," replied Allison. "Hum-m."
Fiotli of them were quiet for a time.
Steve's next remark brought Allison's
head up sharply.
"I meant to bring some of my esti
mates and plans down with me when I
came." he told him. "You spoke of
wanting to run over the whole prop
osition with mo, you'll remember, the
first day you arrived."
Allison nodded shortly. "I remember.
"I'll bring them i:ext trip," Steve
finished. "I came so near to losing;
them last night that I'm takin
chances until they're in duplicate.
lu
We
ca.n run over them later?"
Allison wheeled and gazed 'Uieditat
ingly toward the group who were slow
ly moving their way. His daughter,
Barbara, with Wickersham at her side,
was in the lead.
"Any time," he agreed. "There's no
particular hurry."
And then a moment later, just when
she was beginning to wonder wheth
er he was purposely avoiding her, Far
bara was surprised at the calm ease
with which Steve, took her away from
her tall escort. She had noticed that
Wickersham and Steve had not touch
ed hands when they first met, an hour
or two before, nor even hinted at such
a salute. Hut now, as earlier in the
day when her dash toward the stables
had left him standing rigid in the mid
dle of the lawn, she failed to see the
expression that settled upon Wicker
sham's long face. It was Dexter Alli
son this time who noticed it, and hours
later, when he and Wickersham sat
and faced each other in the downstairs
roym in the house on the hill which
served as Allison'. office, he remem
bered and recognized It.
"You wanted to talk with me?"
Wickersham inquired as he entered
the room that evening.
Somehow Wickersham's unending po
Jlieness had always irritated Allison.
That night his smoothly iufectionless
question nettled him.
"Your infernal fool, Uarrigau, buu-
Sled .last night!" he blurted out. "He
messed things up beautifully. . lie not
only failed, but he failed to get away
without being seen. That's what comes
of intrusting a job like that to a drunk
en sot." t
Wickersham seated himself sat and
caressed a' cigarette. Coolly he waited
and blinked his eyelids.
"My man?'' he murmured. "My
; man?" '
j Ours, thenAJlisun corrected sharp-
ly "ours." Then he seemed to recol
lect himself and his voice became less
abrupt. "Listen. This afternoon I had a
talk with O'Mara that Is. I started to
have a talk with him. but but he leat
me to it. And in just about ihree min
utes he told me that he'd caught nar
rigan on the job not mentioning any
names. I don't mean but he didn't
need to. And he told me more than
that. Ho as good as gave me io nn-

place the blame if there was any more
interference wren ms hjcu.
Wkkershani crossed a long leg and
bJew a thin blue streamer of smoke.
"Yes?" he intoned bodilessly."
It brought a blaze to Allison's eyes,
that nerveless monosyllable. ;
"That doesn't interest you. eh?" he
sr.arred- "Doesn't interest yoc at all!
Well, it does me. Three months ago I
bought into this affair because I was
as sure as any man could be that I'd
collect 100 per cent on my money next
spring.' Elliott and Ainnesiey? Fan.
twentv rears behind the times. You've
heard of taking candy frrm children?
Well, that's what it looked like then.
But it doesn't look that way any long
er. Talk with you? Yes. I did want
to talk. I wanted to tell you that if
you'd like to switch I'm willing right
now. I wanted to tell you that if you'd
rather be a good little boy and get into
line I'm willing, and more than willing.
-'T llili-llt'l. 1l,
"I'm going to beat that blanked woods
rat."
because I can promise you. since I
talked it over with O'Mara this after
noon, that we haven't any nice, dead
sure thing on our hands any longer.
"Oh, you can sit thoie and smile
your cold blooded smile! And if you
think I'm experiencing pangs of eoc
s -ien-'o you're mistaken. All I have I
got from other men who who weren't
strong enough to hang on to it- There
isn't any friendship in business, or if
there is I never played it that way.
I'm just telling you that now is cur
one opportunity if we want to join
hand and hurrah with the rest of
them for the completion of this job by
next May. We lose a railroad at a
bargain, perhaps, but we've still got a
mighty good right of way to the bor
der that will insure our welcome in
the ranks. Maybe we lose and and
maybe well, I never did like to be
beaten! Nor do 1 say that such an ar
gument will have any weight with
you, but it's a chance to be on the
dead level for once. What do you say.'
Do w e switoli?"
"Switc-h." Wickersham snarled. And
he leaned forward, face bloodless1; and
beat upon a chair arm. "Switch now!"
Ho laughed shrilly. "Why. I'm going
to beat that blanked woods rat in his
matinee idol costume so bad between
now and next May that he'll be walk
ing the roads for his next job. Switch?
I'm going to brand him as the worst
incompetent that ever dragged two
poor fools down into pauperism. I'll
see him broke. I'll wipe that infernal
smooth smilo from his lips if I have
to"
Wickersham gasped. He came to his
feet panting all in an instant with the
rage that set his dry lips writhing,
r.ut at that point he, too, remembered
! himself. He swallowed and faced Al
lison, and the latter, sitting pop eyed
before his outbreak, gaped now at the
change that came back over that twist
ed face. Wickersham smiled. Once
more his bearing was the very essence
of perfect poise and self control.
"If you if you are afraid" he in
ferred. "If you"
Allison's laugh was big and booming
for all that the astonishment had not
yet left his eye.
"Cold feet," he rumbled. "Cold
feet! Me!" And suddenly his gust
of. mirthless laughter made petty the
other's insolence. "Wickersham, I're
broken better crooks than you'll ever
be. A raan has to have a big heart to
be a big crook, and you and you well,
sometimes I wonder whether there
wasn't some sort of an oversight in
that line when they put you together.
He couldn't have explained why the
thought came to him at that moment
any more than he "understood his swift
ly malicious impulse to use it, but all
in a flash there came back to him a
recollection of that day when he and
Caleb had burst through the hedge to
find the boy Stephen O'Mara pummcl
ing a bigger prostrate boy who shriek
ed under the earnest thoroughness of
that pummeling. Allison, too. rose to
his feet.
"I only wanted to give you a chance,"
Allison continued. "I reckon I can
take care of myself. I always could.
And you well, you know as well as I
flo what soi't of scrap that that woods
rat can put up, or you ought to. He
gave you a sort of a demonstration

Allison's daughter hesitated, surprised,
on the threshold, ner eyes, brilliantly
alight, leaped from her father's face to
that of the man half tcrai her and
back again.
"Oh," she exclaimed uncertainly. "I
didn't know you were Tbu?y. I saw the

IN PLATTSMOUTH
FORTY YEARS AGO.
Mr. Cooley, P. M. at Eagle, is the
happy progenitor of a new postmaster,
that is, in the course of time, if things
go right, he may take his daddy's
place and become a celebrated Nasby
at four corners Eagle district.
Messrs Salamon & Nathan have
brought with them from St. Joseph
fheir bookkeeper, a Mr. James Finley,
who will remain here as a salesman
and will be found a thoroughly posted
and very agreeable person to deal
with.
The first graduate of the ..United
States Naval Academy, Annapolis,
Richard Townley of Lincoln, was made
an ensign the other day.
Mrs. Crocker and family sold, their
building recently to Mr. John Leach,
who removes his place of business
therein. Mrs. Crocker has gone to
Kansas City, and Miss Crocker to Chi
cago.
Mr. Schnasse left for the "Ebony
protuberances" last week, and Platts
mouth will miss him sadly, in a busi
ness way. He was a liberal dealing
man, trying to live and let live always
and we hope he may come back more
than satisfied with his far west ven
ture. We received the law card of our
young friend, Charlie Redick, a few
days ago. It seems but yesterday
Charlie was a bright boy and now, be
hold! he is a man, has a law office
and talks about my business, my pros
pects, etc. Well may the fruit be
abundant and the last always bright,
friend ChaTlie.
A large and numerously signed pe
tition was presented to the council
Saturday evening, asking that the li
cense of all saloon keepers in town be
raised to 1,000. After a strong de
bate it was raised to $500 hereafter.
The council stood 4 to 2 in the raise.
Some at least of the saloon men have
license now, until June. Others will
expire soon. The,re is considerable ex
citement over the situation among
those interested in the business.
We learn from Mr. Foster, who is
up from Weeping Water attending
court, of a couple of sudden deaths in
that neighborhood last Sabbath. Mrs.
Hiiam Hurst, while on her way to
church, was taken with a severe pain
in the great toe, and only lived some
five or six hours. The other was a lit
tle daughter of Mr. Henry Davis, aged
some 5 or o' years, who died last Sab
bath after a very brief illness.
Mr. Lewis, the man who was hurt
on the railroad near South Bend some
weeks ago, is slightly improving, and
though it must be a long tedious siege,
he will eventually get well. lie has
lain in one position nearly all this
time, and told us the other day that he
expected to lie that way one month
longer before the doctors could set his
leg finally (the mashed and bruised
flesh having to be healed up before
splints can be kept on). If this is suc
cessful, then it will be many more
weeks yet before he can get out, or
walk about. He bears it with great
fortitude.
SUFFERS IN JURED FINGER.
From Saturday's Danv,
John McNurlin, who is spending a
short time at the W. II. Seybert home,
came in this morning from the farm
near Cullom accompanied by Jennings
Seybert, a nephew of Mr. McNurlin.
Jennings is suffering from a badly
bruised finger on his left hand, that
he sustained a few days ago, when in
climbing in the back of a buggy he
had the finger mashed in the spring
and it became so sore as to require
medical attention. Mr. McNurlin
'while here had his injured arm looked
after, and reports it as doing nicely.
