A, MONDAY, ArRIt 24, 1916. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE 5. v THE NEW CLARION 'By... WILL N. HARDEN Copyright. 1914. by Harper s Brothers CHAPTER X. The Quarrel. lURIOUSLY an?ry, Iloward step- r ied close to Craig aud glared I into the bloated face. "The gate is near," he said calmly. "Come outride and let's settle it now. You are drunk. Lut 1 wont take anything o!T of you nevertheless. You bully ev erybody, but you can't bully me. Craig." "You say you dare to to talk that way to me," Craig blustered, making no movement, however, toward the gate. "You. you"" There was a sound in the thicket across the road, and Pole Baker sud denly emerged, a stare of surprise In his kindly eyes. "Hold, hold: What's this';" he cried. Then taking Howard by the arm he said: "Come along. Let "im alone. He's drunk an don't know Lis hat from n hole in the ground. You don't want to have to kill a wad dlin baby. Say. Crai;:, take yore hand out o" yore rocket. You've got a gun you are jest cowardly enough to tore one all the time, but of you draw it I'll tear down a panel o this fence an beat the life out o' you. This is a friend o' mine, an' "what he does goes, nn' don't you forget it." "The young whelp dares to" "Iry up:" IoIe rested an enormous hand on one of the upright palings. "Iry up ef you know what's good fer you. You owe 'im money as you owe everybody else in the county, en you are too lordly to swallow a justifiable dun. Come on. Howard. He don't know what lie's savin"." Craig, muttering threats, lowered his head to the fence and allowed Pole to draw Howard away. For some dis-taix-v they walked side by side in si lence. They were near the town be fore either spoke. Pole broke tne si lence. "Say, Howard, my friend," he be g:!", "the Lord knows I'm a purty thing to advise you after all the shoot in' scrapes I've been in. but ' I hope you'll let this thing slide out o' mind. I know youpurty well. You've got a high temper, an' you are buruin' from head to foot right now. It will be like you to let this rankle an fester till maybe serious trouble may come out of it." "He'll simply have to take back wtfat he said just now," Howard answered, his lips white and quivering. "When he is sober I shall face him an re mind him of the whole thing, and then if he" "Tut, tut."' exclaimed role. "Wipe it out o' mind. lie's a bad man an' not resionsibie. He don't care wheth er he lives or dies. Somebody will have to kill im. but it mustn't be you. Trouble o' that sort has ruined many n proinisin young life, an' you can't afford to blight yore prospects fer a worthless scamp like him. He makes enemies of everybody he deals with. He can't hire men to work for 'im. He's ruined a dozen good lives." Howard said nothing, but Pole saw that his anger had not abated in the slightest. "I know how you are oh, I know!" Pole sighed. "Sometimes nothiu but a fight to a finish will cool a fellow off, but I hope Craig will have sense enough to keep out o' yore way. You are both hot tempered. Ef Craig knowed you as well as I do he would have belt his lip jest now." When Pole met Abuer on the street that morning and told him of the cir cumstances Abner's face grew grave. "I was wondering what was wrong," he said. "I knowed some'n' had hap pened an understand now. Say, I'ole, we must try to keep 'em apart. How ard has a dangerous look in his eye." On the following afternoon, when Alaier returned from luncheon, How ard informed him that Tarp had just been in to see him. "It is about some advertising scheme. He preferred to get the terms from you. "Do you know why?" Abner asked with a sickly grin. "Ef you don't 1 mj ver. the last time with his high palavei He thinks I am the hungriest sucker that ever swam in new waters. Bein' soid once is a plenty fer me. Tarp '11 find me with my eyes ieeled an' skin ned for every inovo he makes. Is he comm. in ag'in?" "No, he said he was too busy at the store. He wants you to run in there for a minute. He has the matter ready for printing." Abner had hung his hat up on its nail, but he took It down. "I wish it was a boss trade," he sighed. "I'm as g' od as the next one at that, but one thing is certain, an that is ef that skunk gits another ad. out o me at half price I'll make 'im a present o the paper. He's got to pay our sched ule rates. All hi3 gab about bein the main advertiser in town won't go down." Abner found the lively young mer chant without his coat superintending the unpacking of several enormous cases of notions on the front sidewalk. "Leave 'em that way till closin' time, Tarp ordered the young men who were unpacking. "Let the folks passing by see' what quantities we buy. Don't sell any, though. Tell eTeryToofly they are oein held for the big anniversary sale day after tomor row, to open at 10 sharp." 'Yon wanted to see me about a' jd.." Abner suggested. "Yes, that was it." Tarp said as he left the front and led Abner back into the store. "We can settle it in a min ute. I've grot the stuff already written out. Look at that buncb-of green-, horns at the showcase. Uncle Ab! Thev don't know "which way to turn. I need an expert floorwalker to direct my customers about. People here in the backwoods would stare hi wonder. wouldn't they? Huh: All the gals in town would be in love with him. Hut if this thing keeps expanding as It is I'll need several, as well as the cash deliverv system. I was inspecting a fine thins In that line the other day." "ilow about that ad.?" asked Abner. "Oh, yes," Tarp said, with a thought ful frown. "It is this way. Uncle Ab. What Is your regular rate for locals by the line to the hoi polloi the little scrub advertiser that just sticks in a fevw bits now and then in between the regular reading matter?" 'We've just got one rate to the hoity toity or any other folks." Abner jested, with twinkling eyes. "Ten cents 'a line to all first come first served." "But this is different," Tarp protest ed- "Now. Lncle Ab. you've got to have common judgment and discrimi nation. 1 have to myself. Why, scores o' little crossroads storekeepers come in here an' get a wholesale rate on the stuff that I sell to my regular trade fer much more. Now, listen good, and don't bite off yore nose to spite yore face. The other night as I set in my room a notion come to me fer a long ad. in the shape of reading matter that would take up about two columns in yore paper, and I jotted it down before I went to bed. It is like a story, and yet it ain't a story. I'd read it to you if I had time. It will make everybody laugh fit to split their sides, it is so funny. .In fact, you'd haTe to pay well to get such a thing composed for you. The only ad. I've got in it is Tarp's Dry Goods and "You'll have to figure some more," Abner answered. General Merchandise Emporium like a crack of a whip at the end, and 111 have to get a wholesale price on it or we can't dicker." "Ten cents a line is our fixed rate," Abner answered firmly, a reminiscent shadow in his eyes, "an I won't agree to any other." "Well, you are a mossback editor, then. Uncle Ab you sure are, for this is a big job, and you will lose a chunk of money If you turn it down. I fig ured that 3 cents a line would be as high as I could go." "You'll have to figure some more," Abner answered. "I'm goin' to make a livin' profit down thar or I'll go back to farmin'." "So you refuse my offer?" Tarp said, with a fallen countenance. "I'll have to tear the dang thing up. then, an' it is the best idea that I ever put on pa per." "Ten cents a line, an no less, even ef you filled the whole local page." was Abner's half irritated ultimatum. "Well, it is off, then," Tarp declared. "You'll regret it. Uncle Ab. I'm a big advertiser an a great help to a home paper." "I remember what a help you was the last time." Abner said to himself as he left the storewlth a stride that was all but indignant When Abner was gone Tarp walked slowly back to his desk and. with a frown of disappointment, took several sheets of manuscript from a drawer. While he was reading them a clerfe came. "Fred wants to know what to do about the case of piece goods that the railroad hasn't delivered yet," he said. "Put in a claim for it." Tarp an swered crustily. "It is the only way to make them trace lost stuff. Say. Dick, don't bother me- any more. When you see me down at the front you can ask me questions, but when I'm at my desk like this I want to be quiet." Alone again, Tarp turned the pages of his manuscript and continued to frown. "I can't afford to destroy as good a thing as this," he said. "It is a hangup, good idea. I never saw a better one in any paper, if I do say It. Uncle Ab's a fool to lose It." -Tarp lowered his head to his hand and fell into deep reflection. Sudden ly he started and looked up. a smile on his face, a gleam in his eyes. "Gee!" he exclaimed aloud, "it might o through with a man that's as'hew In the newspaper business as he is. and if it did wouldn't I have a joke on him? Let's see; I'd only have to re write the first and last pages and sign a name of some sort to the end. I could get a friend over the mountain to mail it to him. By gum. I'll try It! Old Ab may see through it. and he may not. If he don't he's my meat Lean and lank as he is. I'll eat him whole. Look out, old man. J. L. Tarp is on your track. You may see the day that you'll wish you'd taken up that 3 cents a line proposition. If this passes muster folks will hear of Tarp's Dry Goods and General Mer chandise Emporium 000 miles away. Gee, I must get to work on it! He mustn't smell a rat, and be is hard to fool." Early In the morning two days later Tarp left his "Eniporiiiu" by the front door and crossed the siieet to the post office, the mail having just arrived from the rural routes. The postolflce was in the rear of a long building, the front part of which was used as a drug store. Going to his lock box. the merchant took out some letters and circulars. One of the letters which he read as h leaned on a cigar case near a front window ran as follows: Elktown, Wednesday, 9 a, m. Dear J. L. I received the manuscript and your note and at once put tlie manu script in a fresh envelope and directed it to tlie editor of the New Clarion. More over, I mailed it myself. I stood by and Ban- the postmaster drop it in the bas BJ Ing to Barley. It will reach your man when this gets to you. I hope it will work I know you of old. 'So far so good," Tarp chuckled. Now for the next move." He had not long to wait, for Abner Daniel soon sauntered in, a bunch of keys in his hands, and. nodding to the merchant and some other bystanders, he passed on to his lock box. Tarp had ojened a dry goods circular which had just come, and above its margin he furtively watched his intended prey. Abner was taking out of the large drawer set aside for the New Clarion's ponderous exchange numer ous parcels and fetters and stacking them up on his arm. "I reckon I'd better not let the old chap see me right now," Tarp reflect ed, aiid therewith he turned away and walked down to the entrance of the ho tel, where he paused, his expectant eyes on the door of the postoffice. His vigilance was rewarded, for a moment later he saw Abner emerge, his face buried in some sheets of foolscap which had a familiar look to the watch er. Abner's face wore a startled, even triumphant expression, comparable to that on the face of a miner who has struck gold and decided to say little about it. (To Be Continued.) FRED MANN MADE FOREMAN FREIGHT CAR DEPARTMENT From Saturday's Dally. One of the changes that has been made at the Burlincrton shops is the ?ppointment of Fred W. Mann as fore man of the freight car repair depart ment of the shops to take the place of Charles Parker, who retires from railroad work to devote his time to the care of his farming interests. Mr. Mann has been an employe of the Burlington since his graduation from the high school in this city in 1905 and has held various clerical po sitions as well as that of piece work inspector in the shops in that time. He is a voungr man well qualified in every way to make a splendid fore man and in this department will find a splendid field for his operations as this is one of the most important de partments of the shops and one that has the largest number of employes of any department of this great indus trial institution. He is now on the job, and that he will make a most effi cient employe for the railroad com pany goes without saying. The freight car department .has grown greatly in importance in the last few years and the number of cars turned ou,t daily there is really surprising and a greater part of the work in this line is done here.
