CHAPTER XVIII.
Blue Fiannc! and Corduroy.
'-r- lilE worltl was snowbound ail
H. I that small world wbkli lay
Prs la-twrf-n the hills in 1 ha Viii-
lev at Thirtr-MUi'. Fur two
da;. .s it snowed so heavily th.it all work
moved but intermittently at the up
river camp, and then, two days before
Christmas, the m-.-ivury dropped sharp
ly into the bulbs and (he weather
cleared.
From his window Stephen O'Mnra
watcl.e.I the heavy loads crawl up to
tii' storehouse door, lie watched the
drivers throw tarpaulins over the boxes
and Knew that they were too weary
tt unload that nisht. And lie was
Mill there at the frosted pane when
the throe laeu. Louie still plowing
ahead, hove into view airain from the
direction of the siables and came
straight toward his own shack. He
ripened the door and bade them enter
before they lnu I had a chance to knock.
The swaep-er in the shoulders of two
of them tnM him what to expect. Big
Iiuie was oi!y clumsy, as usual.
-You did well to make it." he told
the litter kindly, as he always ad
dressed him. His nod to the ethers.
Who reeked of white whisky, was in
part a question, in no wise a welcome.
"WellV" ho asked. ' V
Apparently there had been a confer
oin-e beforehand, for there was no hes
itancy on the part of Fallon, who hud
been ordained spokesman.
"We'vo come for our time," he
prowled.
Steve nodded gravely.
"I see," he murmured. "May I ask
what's your grievance this time?"
They "were satellites of ITarrisnn.
r.ocr.ue of that he had kept them all
where his eyes could find them at
times. And, even though, their arch
leader in discontent had not crossed
lii.s path in many days, he listened now
to :;n echo of Harridans activities.
They're offering three a day in the
rcscrvf- camps." Fallon should not
have pleated. "Three a day' and a
liouus for the high week cut. "We're
poinjr back to the river."
"I see," acrain observed Steve. "Are
they guaranteeing this wage for as
long as you want to work?"
Apparently they had decided, too,
that there should be no bargaining.
We want our time," Fallon reiterat
ed. "This is going to be a man's year
on the river!"
"You also?" Steve inquired of Miayne.
"Yes, rue also," lie came back, "an" a
hundred others before the ice goes
out."
Big Louie he had given up for lost
before that, and yet it was with Big
Louie that Steve made a sincere effort.
"Fd like to have you stay, Louie."
lie faced the third man. "I need you,
for you can do more with horses than
any'man I know. You are worth three
a day to me. Do you care to think it
over?"
Big Louie's eyes had been mournful
when he stumbled iu out of the cold.
rriii-i novo that now. He started tc
J. U v J ' ' x
turn toward the window for a look at
the stables nnd then thought better of
it. Resolutely, for him, he shook his
head.
."I am do:;e me," he muttered. "I
work for no company that will leave
honest men to starve."
It was hopeless from the start, yet
Steve tried again.
'I can promise you work as long as
you are able to hold a rein." he of
fered, but he moved nearer the door
while he was speaking. "That is all I
can promise."
Perhaps Fallon believed that Rig
2,inio was weakening. Perhaps he felt
That the situation was too highly dra
matic to be wasted, for he made a wide
flourish with one hand.
"We want our time, and we want it
now." he threatened. "We're going to
show you who bosses this river before
we're- done with you!"
Fallon shouldn't have gloated; he
shouldn't have threatened. And Shayne
shouldn't have smiled. Steve had slip
pea the latch loose. Now he swung
open the door.
"Call for your time at the Morrison
otlice," he said evenly, "and if you're
going why, go!"
By collar and belt-he? swung him
back and drove him sprawling into a
drift.
"Are you in a harry, too,-Shayne?''
he asked pleasantly, and Shayne buried
h'i-! head beside Fallon's in the snow.
Then Steve closed "the door -carefully
p.iid turned again to Big Louie.
"Louie," he said, "I make it a rule tu
nvgo no man who "docs not w ish to
ttay. If it needs persuasion to keep
you I do not want you here. But you
are running with 'the w rong crowd,
Iotiie. You'll learn it some day, but
gome day may be too late."
The big, dreamy eyed man was hard
ly listening, but he gestured toward
the door. And Steve treated his de
parture kindly. is h? hd alsys.treflt
pd his prese'a'p.
Outside, where Shayne and Fallot!
bad picked themselves up Big Louie
mM I

E
levitated and fumbled in his pocket
n ith a cold crumped hand. He deliv
ered t lie letter for Stephen which had
been intrusted to him by Miss Sarah.
There are many men like Big Louie
wlio are pitifully faithful until events
outstrip their intellects. Steve was
sorry for hiui, and a half hour later,
after he had read Miss Sarah's prim
note requesting his presence at dinner
tit 7:.J0 Christmas eve, he grew sor
rier still while he watched the ill as
sorted trio meet once more, blanket
packs upon their backs and snov. shoes
on their feet. Big Louie had joined
the other' two from the direction of the
stables. There were words between
them, for Steve saw the huge man's
arm lift to strike Shayne to the ground
anl then drop harmlessly back to his
side. And Steve knew what that bit
of pantomime meant. Big Louie had
been to bid his team goodby. There
was a smudge of brown sugar across
his coat, though the . watcher was too
f&r away to see that. But he knew
that Big Louie had been crying, knew
that Shayne had smiled. It was the
second time that Shayne had smiled
that evening his second bad mistake.
Long after they had disappeared into
the north toward the Reserve com
pany's camps Steve wondered that it
had not cost him his life.
.Miss Sarah's note which had been al
most a week on the way was very
primly correct, but the inevitable post
script which underran it sounded a
more intimate note.
"We are not excessively formal as a
rule, Stephen," she wrote, "so a din
ner jacket will be adequate. As I am
expecting two other guests besides
your friends, Mr. Morgan and Carrot t
Devereau, I must ask you to let no
business matters interfere with your
promptness."
Steve dared not let himself wonder
who those other guests would prove to
be. Miriain Burrell, he knew, had nl
ready written Garry that this was to
"And if you're going why, go!"
be the saddest Christmas end the mer
riest that she had ever known, giving
as respective reasons her inability to
be with umi ail(l luc fac't that she was
so entirely his. Because he would not
let himself hope this time he was not
disappointed, or at least so he told
himself, when he found only Dexter
Allison with Caleb the next afternoon
near 0. jAnd on a sudden thought his
eyes went roving around the room
then, looking for Archibald Wicker-
sham. But Miss Sarah gave him no
i time for a protracted scrutiny.
"Your room is ready, Stephen." she
told him and steered him toward the
stairs. "Y"ou have an hour in which
to dress, and you know already that
I am old maidenishly .strict."
And then, three-quarters of an hour
later, when ho had dressed and turned
to the stairway Barbara was there
at the foot of the flight waiting for
him to appear. In a little low pink
satin gown that made rounded her
slenderness made her appear even
smaller than she was she gave him
an elaborate courtesy from the main
floor and flung up at him her laughter.
"Merrv Christmas. Sir Galahad!" she
called.
Steve, who was only dimly aware of
the fact that Garry and Fat Joe had
arrived, the latter guilty of his first
dinner jacket and enormously proud of
hi guilt, stood looking at Barbara
while she was chattering at him with
out hearing distinctly a word, she
spoke.
"You look as though I were a
wraith," the girl accused him. "Am I
so pale after a few weeks of sophisti
cated city air?"
"I thought you looked like shall I
tell you what I thought?"
"Most ertainly." she was forced to
insist. "Wasn't it a bald enough invi-
-I
tation for a pretty speech?"
T thought ' you looked like a' small
dink bon bon," responded Steve leisure-
ly. and. while the rest laughed at her !
discomfiture. Fat Joe leaned over and
nudged Garry.
"What'd 1 tell you?" he demanded.
What'd I tell you Say, ain't he
working well tonight?"
There was no keeping the girl within
doors after dinner was over. She ran
upstairs and changed into moccasins
and white blanket coat and skirt that
.arely met the moccasin tops halfway.
nd Steve, who had changed, too. and
was waiting for her when she came
down, had kuolted a crimson scarf
about the middle of hisbelicd jacket
to match the white one twisted about
ler throat.
The man and girl climbed far that
night in quite unbroken silence. They
had reached the crest of the first hill
and stopped with the higher ridges in
front of them, black bulks filigreed
tvlth white, before Barbara decided
that she would have to make him tallr.
From the first be talked fitfully that
nignr. on other occasions sue nan no
ticed how his mind seemed to verr.
whimsically, from one topic to anoth
er with litile apparent continuity ol
thought only to vwing back again just
when she was beginning to feel that
she had lost the thread of inference- to
point his argument with parnl'els that
were new and delightful wisdoms to
her ears. But tonight his grave voiced
divergences oftener than not left her
thoughts behind his thoughts.
"It is a very easy ir.itry to get lost
in, lie remarxc.i wihmi no rati iimu t
insist that his sense of direction and
not hers should be the one to be
trusted.
It doesn't seem complicated." he
pondered. "To a man who has come
into the world with bis sense of north
and south and cast ar.d west a!I safely
relegated to IiN backbone insic.id of
having to depend upon the ti!.u-hty
functions of his brain for his go Me it's
about the simplest tiling there is. He
finds his way without thinking about
the lay of the land or moss on the
trees or the sun or s-ars. But the oth
er ('to -The one who has t stop and
reason that he must travel s many
miles to the west to reach home in
the afternoon because he came that
many in the morning why, he even
gets to doubting his compass, until
night catches him without a roof over
his head and no wood collected for a
campiire."
"I shall try to remember that," se
answered soberly. "If ever I am lost
I I shall try t wait confidently for
daylight and keep my eyes to the fore."
She was near to tears when he stoop
el and knelt in the snow to tighten a
thong slipping from one webbed foot.
Pelow them stretched a plain of shim
mering frost points, bounded by iu
;;crutab!e walls of black timber. Some
where within the warmer heart of a
swamp a fox yapped hungrily: some
where within her own heart his whim
sical discourse-had awakened a sense
of the mystery of his wilderness its
friendship for those who love it its
implacable enmity for those who do
not understand. And he looked up just
v. hen that emotion came Hooding into
her face.
"It is wonderful wonderful won
daful!" she breathed, throwing out
In Ih arms with that ecstatic impulsive
ness which he knew so well. "Now I
know why you said men always re
turn to it once they have felt its spell."
"Y'ou arc lovelier than you know!"
came back from him, almost gruJly
arrr.in. and she could not parry with
lightness so swift and strained a
speech.
"You always tell me very pretty
things," was all she could think of to
say in reply.
But then, rising, he Hung back his
head and shook himself as if throwing
off a burden t'jo restraining and irk
some. He laughed aloud, and from
that minute until he loosed her feet
from the snowshoes he was inor; like
her ' blue flannel and corduroy" lover
again. But his attack no longer iuade
her fear herself.
"If I cared for you, yes," he made
her admit before he would let her go
in that night. "If I cared for you my
engagement to no man could .stand in
the way. But that is the reason I
know I do not care."
She had seen him grave with duubt
that night; seen him light to shake it
off. There was doubt in his answer
now.
"Because I am not" But he could
not force himself to ask it.
"Because I could never care as you
would demand the woman should care
who marries you."
She wanted to help him a little, she
didn't know just w hy. I'ity is a very
dangerous emotion when pity is not
sought.
"You are loving uie that way tins
minute," lie said, but his words were
dogged. "Loving me more than von
know."
There was neither reference to her
letter nor mention of that night at'
Thirty Mile when she had stolen out to
bid him goodby. Other long tnimpi
followed on other pule and fccro in'ghts,
but hi3 attitude remained much the
same.
a
"You will bo coining back," he told
her again the day he put her on the
train. "You will be back in the
spring?"
It was his old. hopeful challenge,
with all the hope left out.
"I think so." she faltered in return.
"I mean to come and see the comple
tion of your work if father will let
me." She knew a moment of confu
sion. "I wonder many nights if you
are safe up here in the hill?."
Indeed. Miss Sarah had made prog
ress, though the surface indications
wero small. The girl would never
think of him again simply in terms of
blue flannel and corduroy. But that
was not tue most uisturjjinsij TiXii
memory which she carried away with
her.
"I love you." He framed the words
silently as the train was pulling out,
and, although their positions wore re
versed, the moment was so reminis
cent of that day when he had leaned
out of her father's switch engine cab
and asked if she wanted a ride that It
made her throat ache.
She waved a small gloved hand to
him oil the platform.
She did not want to go.

' JN PLATTSMOUTH
FORTY YEARS AGO.
Tom Stevenson is here, too, and
biGuj'ht an atmosphere of Nebraska
City along with him.
Hen. T. N. Bobbitt of Tipton is in
town. We learn that while some peo
ple find fault with Mr. li. as a legls
lator, no one can say aught against
his farming, he having raised corn by
the acre and hogs by the carload this
year.
Sam Chapman wen his Eaton case
in the supreme court, which m quite a
feather in his cap, several of the big
lawyers of Nebraska having tried
their hands on Eaton vs. Hasty in the
past twenty-iive or thirty years.
Nathan has got a new clerk taken
in a partner, and the firm will now be
Ccieruan, Nathan 5 Sou. With this
increase of capital and help they will
be able to do an increased business.
The young gent aiivetl here. Monday
n'e.ht an.l seems much pleased with
our city, and the prospects of living
here weight ton pounds.
On our ietu? n from Omaha hmt Fi i
Jay we didn't know whether it was
ciuself or Frank Guthmr.n had been
getting married. The house was ful
of cake corn, wine and oil of plenty
abounded, and the printers had a feast
for several days. That is tc say part
of them did on part of the good things
We can only wish Frank bon voyage
again and hope he may never lack the
wherewith to make his friends glad.
The Visit cf .Mr. Finch.
Mr. Finch, the great temperance
red-ribbon man, closed his labors here
en Sunday evening lat, by talking
to an audience which packed Fitzger
ald hall full. No more can it be sail
that only nigger minstrels or a schoo
exhibition can induce Plattsmouth to
turn out in force. A little, pale, over
worked temperance lecturer brought
thm all out. old and young. That's
saying a good deal for Mr. Finch.
Further, over ;.8'" persons, male and
fcma'.e, have taken the red ribbon an.
signed a pledge to abstain from al
alcoholic drink as a beverage.
Three hundred eighty-four dollars
and fifty-three cents in cash was
raised in all, which after paying the
expenses of the lecturer, hall, etc
leaves about 200 for the purchase of
a library and the cr-tablishmcnt of a
vending room. We understand Mr.
G:cs.ory has offered the use of his
east front room on the ground floor
and a committee of the red ribbon
brigade have the matter of organiza
t'en in hand. It. will be a great "hies
?irg to Platt:;mouth if it is kept up
and made a success.
Besides all this the ladies of the
Red Ribbon club, with the aid of some
of the gentlemen, trimmed up aw
f:erl FarmelcVhall (free for the oc
casion) for 'a handsome New Year's
dinner.
A great many callers came to see
these ladies, Red Ribbons and Gen
ti'cs, as the Mormons call Outsiders
In addition Mrs. Van Pelt of Lincoln
came down to organise a Good Temp
la vr.' lodge, in which all the ladies can
join, and as Mrs. Van Pelt is the chief
rranager of the reading room at Lin
coin our reading room committee wil
consult with her as to the best meth
ods of opening and sustaining our new
enterprise.
RUSSIANS TRY TO
WEAKEN TEUTON
London, Nov. 21. Another Russian
offensive along the line from Con
stanza to Cernavodu wiij increase the
intensity cf the fighting in the' Bal
ken:-:. This is believed to le the only
step which can lessen the weight of
General von Felkenhayn'ii pressure on
the Wallachian frontier of Rumania.
The Rumanian army is in the great
est danger of being outflanked. They
are being forced back from the valley
of the Jiul.l
Meanwhile Falkenhayn is sweeping
around their rear, lessening the gap
through which they must retreat and
circumscribing that line of reterat so
that its direction, apparently must be
due east. . -
Evacuation of the western part of
Rumania scorns necessary to save the
Rumanian army. ''
