The dictograph which Shirley had
naked Ilrycc to obtain for her In Son
ITrnnclsco' arrived on the rcfrular pax
wiper fttenmer on Thursday monilnjc
nnd Hryco called tier tip to ask when
she desired It pent over.
"Good morning, Mr. Cardigan," he
creeled hltn cheerily. "How do you
fMl thin morning? Any the wonc for
Imv.lng permitted yourHclf to he a hu
man being last night?"
"Why, I feel pretty fine, Shirley. I
think It did mc a. lot of good to crawl
out of my flhell last night."
"You feci encouraged to go on .liv
ing, eh?"
"Yes."
"And nghtlngr
"By nil means."
"Then something has occurred of
lute to give you new courage?"
"Oh, many thlngH. Uy the way, Shir
ley; you may Inform your uncle nt
hrcakfast Friday morning about my
connection with the N. C. O. In fact,
I (hlnlc It would be far better for you
tf you mndo It a point to do so."
"Why?"
"ItocnuRe both Ogllvy and myself
have n very- strong suspicion that your
Mucle bas n detective or two on our
trails. I Judge your undo will learn
today that you dined with Ogllvy,
Motra nnd mo last night."
"Oh, dear! That's terrible." no
could sense her distress.
"Ashamed of having been seen In my
company, ch?"
"Please don't. Are you quite serious
, In this matter?" '
"Quito."
"Uncle 8oth will think It so so
strange"
"Uo'll probably tell you nbout It.
Heller boat him to the Issuo by 'fesslng
up, Shirley. Doubtless his suspicions
arc already aroused, and If you Inform
him that you know I am the real build
er of the N. C. O., he'll think you'ro a
smart woman nnd that you'vo been
doing ft little private gum-shoe work
of your, own on behalf of tho Lagunn
Or.nndo Tiutnbcr company."
"Which Is exnetly what f have been
doing," sho reminded him,
".know. Hut then, I'm not afraid
or you, Shirley that Is, ony more.
' And, after Friday morning I'll not bo
ufrald of your uncle."
"I feel as If I were a conspirator."
"I bcllevo you aro one. Your dlcto
graph has arrived. Shall I send George
Sea Otter over with It? And have you
somebody to Install It?"
''Oh. bother! Does It havo to bo In
stalled?" ,
"It docs. You place tho contrnptlon
hldo It, rather In tho room whero
Ifyconimlrntorfl consptro; then you
rim wires, from It lata nunthcr room
uhero tho detectives listen In on tho
icccivcrs."
"Could George Sea Otter Install It?"
"I think ho could.- There Is n'prlnt
d card of Instructions, and I daro say
Georgo would find the Job no moro
hudllug than tho Ignition system on
the Napier,"
"Will he tell anybody?"
'Not If you ask him not to."
"Very well, then. IMcaso send him
over. Thank you so much, Ilryce
Cardigan, You'ro an awful good old
sort, after all, Itenlly, It hurts mo to
have to opposo you. It would bo so
mu'h ulcer If wo didn't have all those
redwood trees to protect, wouldn't It?"
"UrtAis not arguo tho question, Shir
ley, I think I have my redwood trees
protected. Qood-by."
He had scarcely finished telephon
lug his homo to Instruct George Sen
Otter to report with tho express pack
ago to Shirley when Buck Ogllvy
strolled Into the office and tossod
document on bis desk. "There's your
little old temporary franchise, old
:hlng," ho announced ; nnd with many
a. hearty laugh bo related to Bryco tho
ingenious means by which ho had ob
tallied It. "And now If you will phono
up to your logging enmp and Instruct
the woods-boss to lay off about fifty
men to rest for tho day, pending a
hard night's work, and arrange to
wend them down on tho last log train
today,, I'll drop around after dinner
ind we'll fly to that Jump-crossing."
"I'll telephone Colonul Pennington's
mnnugor and aslc him to kick a switch
tiglno In on tho Laurol creek spur and
utialce thoso flat cars with my rails
(board out to tho Junction with tho
main line," Bryce replied, And he
railed up the Laguna Grande Lumber
ropipany only to be Informed by no
lew u person than Colonul Pennington
hdiiself that U would bo Impossible
o send tho BWltch-cngtno In until the
following afternoon. Tho Colonel was
rorry, but the swltch-cnglno wns In tit
jUtop having the brick In her flrobox
renewed, yrlillo tho mogul that hauled
tho; log trains would not havo. time to
attend to the matter, since tho flats
would havo to bo spotted on the side
track atjCardlgan'a log landing in tho
wopdsT'nnd this could not be done un
til tho last londed log train for the duy
had been hauled out to make room.
"Why not switch back with the
mogul after tho log tralti has been
hauled out on tho main line?" Bryco
demanded pointedly.
Pennington, however, was not
trapped. "My dear fellow," ho replied
patronizingly, "quite Impossible, I ns
sure you. That old trestle across 'the
creek, my boy It hasn't been looked
at for years. While I'd send the light
switch-engine over It and havo no
fears"
"I happen to know, Colonel, that the
big mogul kicked those Hats In to load
the rails I"
"I know It. And what happened?
Why, that old trestle squeaked and
shook nnd gavo every evidence of be
ing nbout to bucklo In the center. My
engineer threatened to quit If I sent
him In again."
"Very well. I suppose I'll have to
wait until the switch-engine comes
out of tho shop," Bryce replied re
signedly, and hung up. He turned a
troubled face to Ogllvy. "Check-
ranted!" ho nnnounced. "Whipped to
n frazzle. Tho colonel Is lying, Buck,
and I've caught him nt It. As n mat
ter of fact, tho mogul didn't kick those
flats In tit nil. The switch-engine did
and I know It. Now I'm going to
sond o man over to snoop around Pen
nington's roundhouse and verify his
report about the switch-engine being
In the shop."
Hp did so, Half nn hour later the
messenger returned with the Informa
tion that not only wns tho switch-engine
not In tho shop but her fire
box had been overhauled tho week be
fore and was reported to bo In ex
cellent condition.
"That settles It." Buck Ogllvy
mourned. "Tho Colonel Is as suspicious
as a rhino. Ho doesn't know anything,
but bo smells danger Just the snme."
"Exactly, Buck, So he Is delaying
the game until he can learn something
definite." Ho drammed Idly on his
ilcsk for several minutes. Then :
"Buck, enn you run n locomotive?"
"With ono hand, old mnn."
"FIno business I Well, I guess we'll
put In that crossing tomorrow night.
The switch-engine will be In the round
house nt Pennington's mill tomorrow
night, so wo can't steal that; but we
can steal the mogul. I'll Just send
word up to my woods boss not to
havo his train loaded when tho mogul
conies up lato tomorrow afternoon to
hnul It down to our log landing. Of
course, tho engine crew won't .bother
to run down to Sequoia for the night
that Is, they won't run tho mogul
dawn. They'll Just leave her at our
log landing nil night and put up for
tho night at our camp."
"But bow do you know they will put
up nt your camp all night, Bryce?"
"My men will mako them comfort-
nble, and It means they can Ho' abed
until seven o'clock Instead of having
to roll out at ttvo o'clock, which would
lie tho case If they spent tho night at
this end of tho lino. There Is n slight
grade nt our log landing. I know
thnt, because tho air leaked out of
tlw brakes on n Jog train I was on a
short time ago, and the train run
nway with me. Now, the engine crew
will set tho airbrakes on tho mogul
nnd leave her with steam up to throb

for that would menn work llrlng her

Had either of the conspirators
known of Pennington's plans to enter
tain Mayor Poundstono nt dinner on
Thursday night, It Is probable they
would not havo cheered until those
flat cars were out of tho woods.
Mayor Poundstono and his wife ar
rived at tho Pennington homo In Red
wood boulevard at six forty-live Thurs
day ovonlng. It was with n profound
feeling of retlor that his honor lift
od tho lody from their modest little
"flivver," for onco lnsldo the Penning
ton house, ho felt, he would ho free
from a peculiarly devilish brand of
persecution Inaugurated by his wife
about three months previously, Mrs.
Pounrrstone wanted n new automobile.
And she had entered upon a cam
paign of nagging and complaint, hop
ing to wear Poundstono's resistance
down to the point where be would be
willing to bnrter his hope of salva
tion In return for a guarantee of peaco
on earth.
"I feel like n perfect fool, calling

ninyor rounostone pausou. "in
pity's nnme, woman," ho growled,
"talk about something else. Give me
one night of peace. Let mo enjoy my
dinner and this visit."
"I can't help It," Mrs. P retorted
with nsporlty. She pointed to Shirley
Sumner's car parked under tho porte
cochere. "If I bad a sedan llko thnt,
I could die happy. And It only cost
thirty-two hundred nnd fifty dollnrs."
"I paid six hundred nnd fifty for the
rattletrap, and I couldn't afford that,"
he nlmost whimpered. "You were
happy with It until I was elected
mayor."
"You forgot our social position, my
dear," she purred sweetly.
Ho could have struck her. "Hang
your social position," ho gritted snv
agely. "Shut up, will you? Social
position In n sawmill town! Dam
mit, you'll drlvo me crazy yet," Pound
stono gurgled, nnd subsided.
The Pennington butler, n very su
perior person, opened the door. The
Poundstones entered. At the entrance
to the living room the butler an
nounced sonorously: "Mayor Pound
stono nnd Mrs. Poundstone."
"Glad to see you aboard the Rhlp,"
Colonel Pennington boomed with his
best air of hearty expanslvenoss.
"Well, well," he continued, lending
Mrs. Poundstone to n dlvun In front of
the fl.ro, "this is certnlnly delightful.
My niece will bo down In two shukes
of u lamb's tall. Have a cigarette, Mr.
Poundstone."
In tho midst of the commonplnce
chntter Incident to such occasions, Shir
ley entered the room ; und tho Colonel
leaving her to entertnln the guests,
went to n small sideboard In one cor
ner nnd brought forth the "mntcrluls."
ns ho Jocularly termed them. Jnmes
nppeared like magic with a tray,
classes and tiny serviettes,, aud the
Colonel's elixir was passed to the com
pany.
"Dco-llclous," murmured Mrs. Pound
stone. "Perfectly dee-llclous. And not
strong I"
"Hnve another," her hospltnble hoRt
suggested, nnd ho .poured It, quite ob
livlous of the frightened wink which
tho mnyor telegraphed his wife. Pound
stone prayed to his rather nebulous
gods tlrit Mrs. P. would not discuss
automobiles during tho dinner.
Alas! The Colonel's cocktails were
not unduly fortified, but for all that,
tho two which Mrs. Poundstono bad
assimilated contained Just sufficient
"kick" to 'ooscn the lady's tongue
without thickening It. Consequently,
nbout the time the "piece do resist
nnce" made Its appearance, she threw
caution to the winds nnd ndverted to
the subject closest to her heart.
"I was telling Henry ns wo came up
tho walk how greatly' I envied you that
beautiful Sedan, -Miss Sumner." sho
gushed. "How an open car does blow-
on nround. my denr!"
"Yes, Indeed," said Shirley Inno
ccntly.
"Heard the McKlnnon people had a
mnn killed up In their woods jester
day, Colonel," Poundstone remarked.
hoping against hope to divert the con
versntion.
"Yes. Tho fellow's own fault," Pen
nlngtnn replied. "He wns one of those
employees who held to tho opinion
that every man Is the captain of his
own soul nnd the sole proprietor of his
own body hence.that It behooved him

snapped back llko n whip, and "
"I hold to tho opinion," Mrs. Pound
stone Interrupted, "thnt If one wishes
for a thing hard enough nnd Just keeps
on wishing, one Is bound to get It."
"My denr," said Mr. Poundstone
Impressively, "If you would only con
lino yourseir to winning, I nssuro you
your chances for success would bo In
finitely brighter."
There was no mistaking this rebuke:
even two cocktails were powerless to
render Mrs. Poundstone oblivions to if.
With the nicest tact. In the world, Shir
ley adroitly changed tho subject to
some tailored shirtwaists she had ob
serve In the window of n local dry
goods emporium that day, nnd Mrs.
Poundstone subsided.
About nlno o'clock, Shirley, in re
sponse to a meaning glance from her
relntlve, tactfully convoyed Mrs.
Poundstone upstnlrs, leaving her uncle
alono with his prey. Instantly Pen
nington got down to business.
"Well," he queried, apropos of noth
ing, "what do you hoar with reference
to tho Northern California-Oregon rail
road?" "Oh, the usual amount of wind, Colo
nel. Nobody knows whut to mako of
that outfit."
Pennington studied tho end of his
clgnr a moment.
"Hnve they made uny move to get a
franchise?" he nslced bluntly. "If they
have, I suppose you would bo the first
man to hear about It. I don't mean to
be Impertinent," he ndded with u
gracious smile, "but the fuct Is I no
ticed that wlndbng Ogllvy entering
your office In the city hall tho other
afternoon, and I couldn't help wonder
ing whether his visit was social or of
ficial." "Social so far as I could observe."
Poundstono replied truthfully, wonder
ing just how much Pennington knew.
"Preliminary to the official visit, I
dare say."
The Colonel puffed thoughtfully for
a while for which the mayor was
grateful, since It provided time In
which to organize himself. Suddenly,
however, Pennington turned toward
his guest and fixed the latter witli a
serious glance.
"I hadn't anticipated discussing this
matter with you, Poundstone, and you
must forglvo me for It ; but the fact Is
I might ns well he frank with you
I am very greatly Interested In the
operation of this proposed railroad. If
It Is built, It will hnve a very distinct
effect on my nnnnces."
In Just what way?"
"Disastrous."
"I am amazed, Colonel."
"You wouldn't he If you hnd given the
subject very close consideration. Such
a road as the N. C. O. contemplates
will tap about one-third of the red
wood belt only, while n line built from
the south will tap two-thirds of It. The
remaining third ban be tapped by an
extension of my own logging rond;
when my own "timber Is logged out. I
will want other business for my road,
and If the N. C. O. pnrnllcls It, I will
be left with two streaks of rust on my
hands."
"Ah, I perceive. So It will, so It
will I"
"You agree with me, then, Pound
stone, thnt tho N. C. O. Is not designed
to foster the best Interests of the
community. Of course you do. I tnke
It, therefore, that when the N. C. O.
applies for its franchise to run through
Sequoln, neither you nor your city
council will consider the proposition
at all."
"I cannot, of course, speak for the
city council " Poundstone began, but
Pennington's cold, nmused smile froze
further utterance.
Be frank with me, Poundstone. I
am not a child. What I would like to
know Is this: will you exert every ef
fort to block thnt franchise In the firm
conviction thnt by so doing you wfll
accomplish u laudable public service?"
Poundstone' squirmed. "When T
have had time to look Into the matter
moro thoroughly "
Tut-tut, my denr m.nn I Let us not
straddle the fence. Business Is n
game, and so Is politics. Nelthet
knows nny sentiment. Suppose you
should favor this N. C. O. crowd In n
mistaken Idea that you were doing the
right thing, nnd that subsequently
numberless fellow-cltlzens developed
tho Idea that you had not done yohr
public duty. Would some of them not
bo likely to Invoke n recall election
and retire you and your city council
In disgrace?"
"I doubt If they could defeat me,
Colonel."
"I hnve no such doubt," Pennington
replied pointedly.
Poundstone looked up nt him from
under lowered lids. "Is that n
thrent?" he demnnded tremulously.
My dear fellow! Threaten my
guostl" Pennington laughed pntronlz
Ingly. "I am giving you advice,
Poundstone and rather good advice,
It strikes me. However, while we're
.on the subject, I havo no hesltnncy In
telling you that In the event of n dis
astrous decision on your part, I
should not feel Justified In supporting
you."
He might, with equal frankness,
hnve said : "I would smnsb you." To
bis guest, bis' meaning was not obscure,
Poundstono studied the pattern of the
rug, nnd Pennington, watching him
sharply, saw that tho man wns dis
tressed. He resolved on n bold stroke.
"Let's not bent nbout tho bush,
Poundstone," ho said with the air of
a father patiently striving to Induce
his child to recant a He, tell the truth.
and save himself from the parental
wrath. "You'vo been doing business
with Ogllvy; I know It for a fact, and
you might us well admit It."
Poundstone looked up, red and em
barrassed. "If I had known " ho be
gan.
"Certainly, certainly! I realize you
ncted In perfect good fnlth. You're
like tho mnjorlty of pcoplo In Sequoia.
You're nil so crazy for rail connection
with tho outside world that you Jump
nt tho first plan thnt seems to promise
you ono. Hnve you promised Ogllvy
n franchlso?"
There was no dodging that nucs
tlon. A denial, under tho present cir
cumstances, would bo tantamount to
nn admission; Poundstone could not
guess Just how much tho Colonel really
knew, and It would not do to lie to
him. since eventually the lie mutt b
discovered. He resolved to "come
cenn."
"The city council has already grant
ed tho N. C. O. a temporary fran
chise,'! he confessed
Pennington sprung furiously to his
feet. "Dnmmlt," bo snarled, "why did
you do thnt without consulting mo?"
"Dldn t know you were remotely In
terested." Now that the Ice was bro
ken, Poundstono felt relieved and was
prepared to defend his act vigorously.
"And we did not commit ourselves ir
revocably," he continued. "Tho tem
porary franchise will cxplro In twenty-eight
days and In . that tlmo the
N. C. O. cannot even cet started."
"Hnve you any understanding an to
nn extension of thnt temporary fran
chise, In enso the N. 0. O. desires It?"
"Well, yes not In writing, however.
I gave Ogllvy to understand that If ha
was not ready In thirty days, an ei
tension could readily be arranged."
"Any witnesses?"
"I. nra nor such a fool, sir," Pound
stone declnred with asperity. "I had
a notion 1 might as. well ndmlt It
that you would hnve serious objection
to having your tracks cut by n Jump-
crossing at B and Water streets." Ano.
for no reason In life except to Justify
himself and Inculcate In Pennington
nn Impression that the Intter was deal
ing with a crnfty nnd far-seeing
mayor. Poundstono smiled boldly and
knowingly. Ho leaned back nonchal
antly and blew smoke nt the celling.
"You oily rascal I" Pennington solilo
quized. "You'ro a smarter man than 1
thought. You're trying to play both
ends against the middle." He recalled

the report of his private detective and
the Incident of Ogllvy's visit to
young Henry Poundstono's office with
a small leather bug; he was more
than ever convinced that this bag had
contained the bribe, In gold coin..
which had been productive of that
temnorar.v franchise nnd the verbal
understanding for Its possible extcn
slon. '
"Ogllvy did business with you
through your sou Henry," he chal
lenged. Poundstone started violently.
"How much did Henry get out of It?"
Pennington continued brutally.
"Two hundred and fifty dollnrs re
tainer, nnd not n cent more." Pound
stono protested virtuously nnd truth
fully.
"You're not so good n business mnn

Colonel retorted mirthfully. "Two hun
dred and fifty dollars! Oh. Lord!
Poundstone, you're funny. Upon my
word you're a scream." And the Colo
nel cave himself up to a sincerely
henrty laugh. "You call It a retainer,'
he continued presently, "but a grand
Jury might call It something else. How
ever," he went on after a slight pause,
"vou're not In politics for your health
so let's cot down to brass tncks, How
much do you want to deny the N. C. O
not only an extension of thnt toni
pornry franchise but also a permanent
franchlso when they apply for ft?"
Poundstone rose with great dignity.
"Colonel Pennington, sir," tie said
"you Insult me."
"Sit down. You've been Insulted
that way before now. Shall we say
one thousand dollars per each for your
three good councllmen and true', and
for yourself that sedan of my niece's?
It's a good car. I Imagine It will please
Mrs. P. Immensely and grant you sur-
pi.hk from sorrow. Of course, I -will
not clvo It to you. I'll sell It to you
five hundred down upon the signing of
the agreement, and In lieu of tho ensh
I will take over that Jitney Mrs,
Poundstone finds so dlstnstcful. Then
I will employ your son, Henry, as the
attorney for tho Lnguna Grande Lum
her company nnd glvo him n retnlner

twenty-flvo hundred dollnrs from
Henry nnd pay my niece ensh for the

fectly safe and sano proposition?"
Had a vistn of paradise opened up
before Poundstone, ho could not have
been more thrilled, ne had been abso
lutely honest In his plea to Mrs.
Poundstone that ho could not afford a
thlrty-two-hundredand-fifty-dollar se

and gain a greatly-to-be-deslred peace.

The latest advices arc that tho

This means that about ,.40.000.000 will

Canadian Wheat In Demand,
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would In all probability sell this year
it between $3 and $0 per bushel, was
made recently before a conference of
western supporters of the government
by Dr. Kobert Mnglll, who was one- of
deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. Dr. Magtll argued In fa
vor of open trading from the nspect
of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Itus-
ila owing to Internal troubles.
lloumanln would hnve absolutely
none to export. India was prohibiting
export, while Australia's acreago
would fall from 12.000.000 to 7.000.000.
The result would be that Australia
would scurcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
ly no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argpntlne nnd North America.
Dr. Maglll, according to formal an
nouncement, though It would be Im
possible to secure as good a price for.
the producer by control ns by the
open market. The United States mar
ket was now open, and. according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar
ter. The net result would be that Ca
nadian wheat would undoubtedly ga
a record figure. Advertisement.
