TOU'LL tnrn ruy head with such Y flattery if you aren't careful." lie said, with a slizbt flush. "Please talk of something sensible now for au autidjte your plans, for iihstance." "My I'laui. are never sensible, and wbnt few I Lave are as empty as iny IHK-keis. T- tell the truth. I have neither plan nor pockets." she laugh ed, "since this is a borrowed sown." "Pockets in gowns are entirely mat ters of hearsay anyhow; I doubt if they exist. You are going back to Seattle?" "No. Mother would never allow it. In fact, when she learns that I'm out here she'll probably send me back to New York as fast as I eau go." "Doesn't she know where you arc?" "Indeed, no! She thinks I'm safely r.nd tamely at home. Uncle Curtis . wouldn't object o my visit." I fancy; tit any rate, I've been counting ou his pood offices with mother, but it's too late now." "I'm like you," he said; "I can't brook disappointment. I'm going on." In answer to her questioning look he explained his rlan of intercepting the freight steamer that night, whereupon her face brightened with sudden hope. "Can t I go, too?" skt implored eager ly. She was no longer the haughty young lady he had met upon entering the room, but a very wistful child. - "I'm afraid that's hardly" "Please! ricase! Bo a real prince and grant me this boon. Won't you? My heart is set upon it" It was Lard to resist her imploring eyes eyes which showed they had never been denied. It was hard for O'Neil to refuse anything to a woman. "If your uncle is willing," he began hesitatingly. "He isn't my really uncle. I just call him that." "Well, if Mr. Gordon wouldn't ob ject, perhaps I can manage it, provid ed, of course, you promise to explain to your mother." Miss Gerard's frank delight showed that the was indeed no more than n child. Her changed demeanor awak ened a doubt in the man's mind. "It will mean that you'll have to sit up all night in an open launch," he cautioned her. "I'll sit up for a week." "With the creepy water all about and Lig black mountains frowning at you?" "Oh. fiddle!" she exclaimed. "You'll be there if I get frightened." Kiting impulsively, she laid her hand on his arm and thanked him with an odd mingling of frankness and shyness, as if there could be no further doubt of hi.3 acquiescence. He saw that her eyes were the color of shaded wood land springs and that her hair was not black, but of a deep, rich brown where the sun played upon it. the hue of very old mahogany, with the winic blood red flame running through it. He allowed himself to admire her id Mlenee until suddenly she drew back with a startled exclamation. "What is it?" "I forgot I have no clothes." Her wnrds came with a doleful cadence. "The universal complaint of your sex," Lesaid, smiling. "Allow me tc talk with your hostess. I'm sure she will let you walk out with your bor rowed finery just like Cinderella. You will need a nick thick coat too." "But this is her very, very best ill ess." "She shall receive on the next ship a Liu box all lined with tissue paier, with the imprint of the most fashion'- J able dressmaker in Seattle. I'll ar range all that by 'able." "You don't kno' how she loves it," the girl said doubtfullj. v "Come! Call her in. If I'm to be a prince you mustn't doubt my power." Nor did the event prove him overcon fident. Before he had fairly made known his request the good lady of the house was ready to surrender not only her best Sunday gown, but her Hut ring heart as well. Murray O'Neil had a way of making people do what he wanted, and women invariably yielded to him. To Natalie Gerard the trip down the bay and into the sound that night was :i wonderful adventure. She remem ? red it far more vividly than the shii Tieck, which lecame blurred in retro M"ct. so that she soon began to think of it as cf some half forgotten night mare. To Iegzn with, the personality of Murray O'NeiJ intrigued her more and more. The man was so stroug. so sympathetic and he had such a resist less way of doiug. thiugs. The stories she had heard of him were, romantic, and the superintendent's wife had not c 'lowed them to suffer in the telling. When midnight came she found that shi wes ravenously hungry, and she was agreeably surprised when O'Neil produced an ela.borai.e JjinclL. TJiere Harper & Brothers. Were even patent bottles Clled with steaming hot coffee, more delicious, she thought, than anything she had ever before tasted. lie called the meal their after theater party, pretending that they had just come from a Broad way melodrama of shipwreck and peril. The subject led them natural. lo talk of .New York, and she found he was more familiar with the city than she. ''I usually spend my winters there." be explained. "Then you have an office in the city?" "Oh. yes. I've maintained a place of business there for years." "Where is it? On Wall street?" "No," he smiled. "On upper Fifth avenue. It's situated in the extreme southwest corner of the men's cafe at the Flint FTouse. It consists of a round mahogany table and a leather settee." "Really!" "That's where I'm to be found at least four months out of every twelve." "They told me yon built railroads." "I do when I'm lucky enough to underbid my competitors. But that isn't always, and railroads aren't built every day." "Mr. Gordon is building one." "So I'm told." O'Neil marveled at the trick of fortune which had entan gled this girl and her mother in the web of that brilliant and unscrupulous adventurer. "Perhaps it will be a great success like your famous .North Pass and Yu kon railway." "Let us hope so." He was tempted to inquire what use Gordon had made He Called the Meal Their After Theater Party. of that widely advertised enterprise in floating his own undertaking, but in stead he asked: "Your mother has invested heavily, has she not?" "Not in the railroad. Her fortune, and mine, too, is all in the coal mines." O'Neil smothered an exclamation. "What is lt? she demanded. "Nothing, only are you sure?" "Oh, quite sure! The mines are rich, aren't they 7" . "There are no mines," he informed her, "thanks to our misguided law makers at Washington. There are vast deposits of fine coal which would make mines if we were allowed to work them, but we are not allowed." "'We?' Are you a a coal person, like us?" "Yes. I was one of the first men in the Kyak fields, and I invested heav ily. " I know Mr. Gordon's group of claims well. I have spent more than a hundred thousand dollars trying to perfect my titles, and I'm no nearer patent now than I was to begin witb--not so near, iu fact. I fancy Gordon has spent as much and is In the same fix. It. is a coal matter which brings me to Alaska now." "I hardly understand." "Of course not, and you probably won't after I explain. You see, the government gave us gave everybody who owns coal locations in Alaska three year- in which to do certain things; then it extended" that time an other three years. But recently a new ecretiry of the interior has come into office and he has just rescinded that later. ruling without warning, which gives us barely time to comply with l rfc fj',-j '''fi the law as it first stood. For my part, I'll have to hustle or lose everything I have put in. You see? That's why I hated to see those horses drow, for 1 intended to use them in reaching the coal fields. Now I'll have to hire men to carry their loads. No doubt Mx Gordon has arranged to protect your holdings, but there are hundreds of claimants who will be ruined." "I suppose the government protected its subjects," said the girl vaguely. "One of the illusions taught in the elementary schools," laughed O'Neil. "We Alaskans have found that it does exactly the opposite. We have found it a harsh and unreasonable landlord. But I'm afraid I'm boring you." He wrapied her more snugly in her cov erings, for a chill had descended with the darkness, then strove to enliven her with stories garnered from his rich experience stories which gave her fas cinating glimpses of great undertak ings and made her feel personally ac quainted with people of unfamiliar type, whose words and deeds, mirthful or pathetic, were always refreshingly original. Of certain individuals he spoke repeatedly until their names be came familiar to his hearer. He called them his "boys." and his voice was tender as he told of their doings. "These men are your staff?'' she ven tured. "Yes. Every one who succeeds in big work must have loyal hands to help him." "Where are they now?" , "Oh, scattered from Canada to Mex ico, each one doing his own particular work! There's Mel!en. for instance; he's in Chihuahua building a cantilever bridge. He's the best steel man in the country. McKay, my superintendent, is running a railroad job in California. Happy Tom Slater" "The funny man with the blues?' "Exactly! He was at work on a hy draulic project near Dawson the last I heard of him. Dr. Gray is practicing in Seattle, and Parker, the chief engi neer, has a position of great responsi bility in Boston. He Is the brains of our outfit, you understand. It was really he who made the North Fass and Yukon possible. The others are scattered out in the same way. but they'd all come if I called them." The Erst note of pride she had detected crept into his voice when he said: "My 'boys' are never idle. They don't have to be after working with me." "And what is your part of the work?" flsHed the girl. "I? Oh, I'm like the clown at the circus always pretending to help, but forever keeping underfoot. When it becomes necessary I raise the money to keep the performance going." "Do you really mean that all those men would give up their positions and come to ycu if you sent for them?' "By the first train or afoot, if there were no other way. They'd follow me to the Philippines or Timbuktu, re gardless of their homes and their fam ilies." "That is splendid! You must feel very proud of inspiring such loyalty," said Natalie. "But why are you idle uow? Surely there are railroads to be built somewhere." - "Yes, I was asked to figure on a con tract in Manchuria the other day. I could have had it easily and it would cave meant my everlasting fortune, but" "But what?" "I found it isn't a white man's coun try. It's sickly and unsafe- Some of my "boys would die before we finished it, and the game isn't worth that price. No. I'll wait. Something better will turn up. It always does." As Natalie looked upon that kindly, square hewn face with its tracery of lines above the eyes, its fine, strong Jaw and its indefinable expression of !ower, she began to understand more fully why those with whom she had talked had spoken of Murray O'Neii with an almost worshipful respect. She felt very insignificant and purpose less -as she huddled there beside him. and her complacence at his attentions deepened into a vivid sense of satis faction. Thus far he had spoken en tirely of men. She wondered if he ever thought of women and thrilled a bit at the intimacy that had sprung up between them so quickly and natu rally. (Continued Tomorrow.)
