O'Neil Sizes Up Gordon.
"T
TIE Irish prince" had sained
something of a reputation for
extra vaga nte. but he acknowl
edged himself completely out
shone by the luxury with which Curtis
;ordn had surrounded himself at
Hope. The promoter had spoken of
his modest living quarters. In reality
they consisted of a handsome twenty
ioni hnise. furnished with the ele
gain'e of a Newport cottage
"You wonder, perhaps, why I have
been so extravagant with my living
quarters,' said-Gordon as they walked
into the library, "'but it is not alone
for myself. You see. I have people as
sociated with me who are accustomed
to every comfort and luxury, and I
built this house for them. Mrs. Ge
rard has been kind enough to grace
the establishment with her presence,
rind I exiect others of my stockholders
to do likewise. You see, I work in the
light, Mr. O'Neil. I insist upon the
broadest publicity in all my operations,
and to that end I strive to bring my
clients into contact with the under
taking itself. For instance, I am bring
ing a party of my stockholders all the
way from New York at my own expens6
just to show them how their interests
are being administered. I have char
tered a special train and a ship for
them, and of course they must be
properly entertained while here."
'HJuite a scheme," said O'Neil.
1 wanted to show them this marvel-;
oils country, God's wonderland of op
portunity. They will return impressed
by the solidity and permanence of
their investment."
"I judge from what you say that the
mine gives encouragement." O'Neil
ventured, eyeing Lis host curiously
through a cloud of tobacco smoke.
' Encouragement is not the word.
I'.efore many years Hope Consolidated
will le listed on the exchanges of the
world along with Amalgamated and
the othe. great producers. We have
here. Mr. O'Neil, a tremendous moun
tain of ore. located at tidewater on
one of the world's finest harbors. The
climate is superb. We Lave coal near
at hand for our smelter. TLe mine
oi:ly requires systematic development
under competent Lands."
"I was in Cortez when Lars Ander
son made his first discovery here, and
I had an option on all this property. 1
believe the price was $1,200. At any
rsto. it was I .who drove those tunnels
you found when you bought him out."
Gordi-n's eyes wavered briefly, then
he laugli"d.
"My dear sir, you Lave my sincere
sympathy. Your poison, my meat, as
it were, eh? You became discouraged
tfo soon. Another hundred feet of
work and you would have been justi
fied in paying ?l.''O0.00. This Eldora
do whi'-h the copper trust has bought
has a greater surface showing than
ITone. I grant, but it lies 200 miles in
land, and there is the all important
question of transportation to be solved.
The ore will have to be hauled or
smelted on the ground, while we have
the Kyak coal fields at our door. The
Ileidlemnhns are building a railroad
to it which will parallel mine in places,
but the very nature of their enter
prise foredooms it to failure."
"Indeed! Flow so?"
"My route is the better. By a rigid
economy of expenditnre. by n careful
KTjpervision of detail. I can e??rct a tre
inend.ms saving over their ir.itial cost.
I hopo to convince them of the fact
mid thrs induce them to withdraw
from the field or take over my road at
a reasonable figure. Negotiations are !
tmdr way."
At this talk of economy from Curtis
Cordon O'Neil refrained from smiling
with difficulty. He felt certain that
the man's entire operations were as
unsound as his statement that he could
bring the trust to terms. Yet Gordon
seemed thoroughly in earnest. Either
lie expected to fool his present hearer
or else he Lad become Hypnotized by
the spell of his own magnificent twad
dle O'Neil could not tell which.
"Who laid out your right of way?"
he nsked with some interest.
"A very able youug engineer. Dan
Applet on. An excellent man. but un
!e!iab!e in certain things. I had to let
hi in go. this very afternoon, in fact, for
insubordination. But I discharged him
more for the sake of discipline than
anything else. Ihp'll be anxious to re
turn in a few days. Now. tell me"
Gordon fixed his visitor with a bland
pfaie which failed to mask his gnaw
ing curiosity "what brings you to
King Philip sound? Are we to bs
rivals in the railroad field?"'
"No. There are enough projects of
that sort iu the neighborhood for the
j resent."
"I'ive. all roSd. but only one destined !
to sm-eed."
"I'm bound for the Kyak coal fields
. ID.HM
"REX
Harper &. Brothers.
to perfect ami aniend my surveys un
der the new ruling."
"Ah! I've heard about that ruling."
"Heard about it?" exclaimed O'Neil.
"Good Lord! Haven't you complied
with it?"
"Not yet."
"You surely intend to do so?"
"Oh, yes; I suppose so."
"If you don't youx'll lose"
"I'm not sure we can ever win."
"Nonsense?'
"I'm not sure that it's wise to put
more good money into those coal
claims," said Gordon. "This ruling
will doubtless be reversed as the oth
ers have been. One never knows what
the land office policy will be two days
at a time."
"Y'ou know your ovn business,"
O'Neil remarked after a pause, "but
unless you have inside information or
a bigger rull in Washington than the
rest of us I'd advise you to get busy.
I'll be on my way to Kyak in the morn
ing with a pang of men." Gordon's at
titude puzzled him, for he could not
bring himself to believe that such in
difference was genuine.
It was difficult to escape from the
hospitality of Hope, aud O'Neil suc
ceeded in doing so only after an argu
ment with Natalie and her mother.
They let him go at last only upon his
promise to return on his way back
from the coal fields, and they insisted
upou accompanying him down to the
dock, wLither Gordon had preceded
them in order to have his motorboat in
readiness.
An 11 o'clock twilight enveloped
Cortez when O'Neil and Slater laud
ed, but the town was awake. The re
cent railway and mining activity in
the neighborhood had brought a con
siderable, influx of people to King
Phillip sound, and the strains of mu
sic from dance ball doors, the click of
checks and roulette balls from the sa
loons, gave evidence of an unusual
prosperity.
O'Neil had no difficulty in securing
men. Once he was recognized, the
scenes at Hope were re-enacted, and
there was a general scramble to enlist
upon his payroll. Within an hour,
therefore, his arrangements were
made, and he and Tom repaired to
Callahan's hotel for a few hours' sleep
A stud game was going on in the
barroom when they entered, and O'Neil
paused to watch it while Slater spoke
to one of the players, a clean cut.
blond youth of whimsical countenance.
When the two friends finally faced the
bar for their "nightcap" Tom ex
plained: "That's Appleton, the fellow Gordon
fired today. I told him I'd left the old
man flat."
"Is he a friend of yours?"
"Sure. Nice boy; good engineer too."
"Umph! That game is crooked."
"No?" Happy Tom displayed a flash
of interest.
"Yes; Cortez is fast becoming a
metropolis, I see. The man in the
derby hat is performing a little feat
that once cust me $4,000 to learn."
"I'd better split Dan away," said
Tom hastily.
"Wait! Education is a good thing,
even if it is expensive at times. 1
fancy your friend is bright enough to
take care of himself. Let's wait a
bit."
"Ain't that just my blamed luck?"
lamented Slater. "Now, if they were
playing faro I could make a killing.
I'd copper Appleton's bets and 'open'
the ones he coppered."
O'Neil smiled, for Happy Tom's cau
tion in money matters was notorious.
"Y'ou know you don't believe in gam
bling," he said.
"It's not a belief, it's a disease," de
clared the fat man. "I was born to be
a gambler, but the business is too un
certain. Now that I'm getting so old
and feeble I can't work any more. I'd
take it up, only I broke three fingers,
and when I try to deal I drop the
cards. What are we going to do?"
"Just wait," said O'NeiL
Unobserved the two friends watched
the poker game, which for a time pro
ceeded quietly. But suddenly they
saw Appleton lean over the table and
address the man with the derby hat:
then, thrusting back his chair, he rose,
declaring in a louder tone:
"I tell you I saw it. I thought I was
mistaken at first." His face was
white, and he disregarded the efforts
of his right hand neighbor to quiet
him.
"Don't squeal." smiled the dealer.
"I'll leave it to the boys if I did any
thing wrong."
"You pulled that king from the bot
tom. It may not be wrong, but it's
mighty peculiar."
"Forget it!" one of the others ex
claimed. "Denny wouldn't double
trois you."
Hardly," agreed Mr. Denny evenly.
"You're -in' $150. but if you're sore you
can have it back."
"Appleton flung his cards Into the
middle of the table and turned way
disgustedly. "It's a hard thing to
prove, and I'm not absolutely sure I
saw straight'or I'd take it back fast
enough."
Denny shrugged and gathered in the
discarded hand. "Y'ou've been drink
ing too much, that's alL Your eyesight
is scattered."
Appleton's face flushed as he lcheld
the gaze of the company upon him and
heard the laughter which greeted this
remark. He turned to leave when
O'Neil. who had continued to watch
the proceedings with interest, crossed
to the group and touched Denny on
the shoulder, saying quietly:
"Give him his money."
"Eh?" The smile faded from the
fellow's face. He looked up with star
tled inquiry. "What?"
"Give him his money."
In the momentary hush which fol
lowed napr.v Tom Slater, who had
frequently seen his employer in action
and understood storm signals, sighed
deeply and reached for the nearest
chair. With a wrench of his powerful
hands lie loosened a leg. Although
Mr. Slater abhorred trouble, he was ac
customed to meet it philosophically. A
lifetime spent in construcon camps
had taught him that of all weapons
the one best suited to his use was a
pick handle. Second to that he had
come to value the hardwood leg of a
chair. But iii the present case his pre
caution proved needless, for the dis
pute was over before he had fairly
prepared himself.
Without waiting for O'Neil to put
his accusation into words Denny had
risen swiftly, and in doing so he had
either purposely or by accident made
a movement which produced a prompt
and instinctive reaction. Murray's list
met him as he arose, met him so square-
ly and with such force that he lost all
interest iu what followed. The other
card players silently gathered Mr. Den
ny in their arms and stretched him
upon a disused roulette table. The
bartender appeared with a wet towel
aud began to bathe his temples.
h Appleton, dazed by the suddenness

in his hand and heard O Neil saying in
an everyday tone:
"Come to my room, please. I'd like
to talk to you." Something command
ing in the speaker's face made the en-'
gineer follow against his will. He
longed to loiter here until Denny re
gained his senses, but O'Neil bad him
by the arrrrr and a moment later he
was being led down the hall away
from the lobby and the barroom. As
Slater, who had followed, closed the
"door behind them Dan burst forth:
"By Jove! Why didn't you tell me?
I knew he was crooked, but I couldn't
believe"'
"Sit down." said O'Neil. "He won't
pull himself together for awhile, and
Murray's Fist Met Him as He Rose.
I want to get to bed. Are yon looking
for a job?"
The engineer's eyes opened wide.
"Yes."
"Do you know the Kyak country?"

"I need a surveyor. Y'our wages will
be the same that Gordon paid, and
they begin now, if it's agreeable."
"It certainly is."
"Good: We'll leave at C o'clock
sharp. Bring your bedding and in
struments." "Thanks! I This is a bit of a sur
prise. Who are you?''
"I'm O'Neil."
"Ob!" Mr. Appleton's expression
changed quickly. "You're Murray"
He stammered an instant "It was
very good of you to take my part after
I'd been fool enough to"
"Well. I didn't want to see you make,
a total idiot of yourself."

Eevery family without exception
exception should keep this prepara

of the summer months. Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
is worth many times its cost when
needed and is almost certain to be
needed before the summer is over. It
has no superior for the purposes for
which it is intended. Buy it now. Ob
