Murray O'Neil's Way.

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

was more familiar with the city than
she.

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

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.)
