was simple, although it did not appear
until later. Mr. Denny at that mo
ment was in no condition to lsue i r
drs of any kind, the reason bei:. as
follows: When preparations for the
advance were made Dr. Cray, w ho un
derstood perhaps more fully than any
one else except O'Neil the prnvity of
the issue and the slender pivot upon
which the outcome balanced, had tak
en his place in the vanguard of the at
tacking party instead of in the back
ground, as befit: ed his calling. The
first rush had carried him well into
the fray, but once there he had shown
his. pood judgment by refusing to participate-
in it
Instead he had selected Denny out of
the opposing ranks and bored through
the crowd in his direction, heedless of
al! efforts to stop him. His preat
strenpth had enabled him to pain
pround. He had hurled his assailants
aide. iip?ettinsr them, burstinp throuph
t'ae press as a football player pene
trates a line, and when the retreat had
hepu!) he was close at the he l of his
victim. He had overtaken Denny b:'
side one of the barricades jusr as
Denny solved a rifle and raised it
With one wrench he possessed him
self of the weapon, and the next in
stant he had bent the ban-el over it
owm r's head.
Then as the fipht sniped onward h
had pat hcred. the limp lipure in In
arms and borne it into the li"': of a
pasoline torch, where he could admin

s he came stuml ilinp alonp the prade.
Hut the oeci-ive moment had eoir.e
tml pone now, and without a loader tc
command them Cordon's men seemed
loath to adopt a more bioody reprisal
They pave way therefore in a half
hearted hesitation that spelled ruin to
their cause. They were forced back to
their encampment.
Dan Applet on, very dirty, very tired,
but happy, found Natalie and Lhi.a
awa iiinp him when he limped up to
tiieir tent in the early mornii p liht.
ne of his eyes wa.s black and nearly
oiosed. his lips were out and swollen,
but he prinned cheerfully as he ex
claimed:

J."li:.i f ried out in alarm at. his ap
pea i a nee.
"You poor kid! You're a siskt." She
ran for hot water and soap, w hile Na
talie said wrrm'y:
'"You were perfectly splendid, Dan.
I kn w you'd do it."
"Did you':" lie tried to smile lib
appreciation, but the effort resulted in
a leer so repulsive that the pirl looked
dismayed. "Y'ou oupht to have seen
the shindy."
"Seen it! Maybe We didn't!"
"Honestly;"
"Did you think we could stay be
hind? We sneaked aloiip with the
eookliouse panp. and one of them help
ed us up on the pravel cars. He smell
ed of dishwater. I ut he was a hero.
We s reamed and cried and Ihi.a
threw stoues until Mr. O'Neil discover
ed us and made us pet down. He was
awfully mean."
"He's a mean man."
"lie isn't! He was jumping around
on oue lop like a crippled prasshopper."
"I made a thousand dollars." said
Dan. "Guess what I'm poinp to do
with it?"
"ibw cuil I puoss?'
"I'm pohip to buv an enuau'nient

"Conpratuistions!
"Cuess w ho it's for?"
I couldn't, really."
"I fa for you."
"Oh, no, it isn't!" Natalie's voice
was lreezinp. "Y'ou have made a mis
take, a very preat mistake. Dan. I like
you. but w e won't even mention such
thinps. if you please."
Eliza's entrance saved her further
embarrassment and she quickly made
her escape. Dan proauel so deeply as
his sister bathed his injuries that she
was really concerned.
"Goodness, Danny." she said. '"Are
you as badly hurt j.s all that?"
"I'm worse." he confessed. "I've
just been shot throuph the heart. Slaw
music and flowers for me! Arranpe for
the services and put a rose in mv hand,
sis."
"Nonsense! I'll put a beefsteak on
your eye." she told him unfeeiinply.
Under Dr. Gray's attention O'Ncil'p
ankle bepan to mend, and by the time
the track had been laid far enouph be
yond the CTossinp to insure apainst
further interference from Cordon he
declared himself ready to complete the
journey to Kyak. which he and the
pills had bepun three weeks before.
Duriup the interval Eliza hid occu
pied Lerself in layinp out her maga
zine stories, and now she was eu-tr
to t-ompb'tP b?r inve-tipnthms .-o as
f bczin the final w ritinp. Her experi

"I'm worse." he confessed, "I've just
been shot through the heart."
her an altered outlook upon the rail
road situation, but as yet she knew lit
tle of the coal problem. That, after
all. was the more important subh-et.
and she expected it to afford her ihe
basis for a sensational exposure. She
had oouie t Alaska sharlnp her news
paper's views upon 1uostions of public
policy, looking upon Murray O'Neil as
a daring promoter b'-nt upon seizins
the means of transportation f a
miuhty r-'iilm for his own individual
protit. t:pon b'!'don as an unscrr. 'ii
l.us adveu'iirer and upon the copper
trust a.s a procdy corporation reaching
our to stranple competition and absorb
the riches of the iionhland. F.ut she
had found O'Neil an honorably ambi
tious man. busied, like others, in the
strupule for suo-ess and baekiup his
judpn.ent with his last dollar. She ha 1
learned, moreover, to sympathize with
his aims, and his- splendid determina
tion awoke her admiraticin Iler idea
of the trust had o!r;::Led. likewise,
for ir seom-d to be a fair and dipuitled
com; r'tit ,.r. She had seen no si-ns of
that conscienceless, praspimr j.oliey
us-jallr iiniiuted to hip busines.. in
repard to Cordon alone her first con
viction had remained unchanged. He
was; as evil as he had been reputed.
The readjustment of her ideas had
been disappointing in a way. since it
robbed her of a lare part of her am
munition, but she ooiisolod herself with
the thon-ht that sh. had m.-t yet reach
ed the biir. vital story which most deep
ly concerned the welfare of the north.
V ! S
The village of Kyak lay near the
mouth of the most easterly outlet of
the Salmon, and it was similar in most
respects to Hope, and to Omar, save
that it looked out across a shallow,
unprotected bay to the open reaches of
the north I'acitie. The shore; were
low; a pair of rocky islets afforded the
only shelter to its shipping, and it was
from these as a starting point that the
copper tru.st had hnhr i:s lceakwater
A trestle across the tide flats connect
ed the work with the main'and. and
alonp this rock trains crawled, addinp
their burdens to the strenpth of the
barrier. 1'n.u-oted by thus arm of steel
and stor.e and timber lay t'.ie terminal
buiidinps of the Alaska Northern, as
the Ileidlemann line was called, and
there aNo lay the terminus of the old
McDcrmotl enforj-rise into which Cur
tis Cordon had infused new life. Doth
ila "es showed plenty of activity when
O'Neil and his two companions firriv
ed late one afternoon.
Kyak they found was inferior to
Omar in its pubiie: accommodations,
and Murray was at a loss t And shel
ter for tlii pirl until his arrival was
made known to the nponts of the Alas
ka Northern. Then Mr. Trevor, the
engineer in charpo. looked him up and
insisted upon sliarinp his quarters with
the visitors. In Trevor's bearinp was
no suppe-tio:i f an enmity li'c Gor
don's. He welcomed his rival warndy.
After dinner O'Neil took Natalie
to see the stall's, while Eliza prof
ited by the opportunity to interview
Trevor. In her numerous tilts with.
O'Neil she had not been oversuccess
ful from the point of view of her map
azine articles, but hore at her hand
was the representative of the power
best known and best hated for its ac
tivities in the nort bland, and he seem
ed perfectly willinp to talk. Surely
from him she would pet information
that would count.
"Understand. I'm on the side of your
enemies," Fhe warned him.
'"So is everybody else." Mr. Trevor
hiuphe l. "but that's because we're mis
understood." "The intentions of any trust warrant
suspicion."
He shrupred. "The Ileidlemanns
are just ordinary business men, like
O'Neil, looking for investment. They
heard of a preat bip copper field hid
den away back yonder iu the moun
tains, and they boupht what they con
sidered to be the best group of claims.
They knew the repion was difficult of
access, but they fipured that a railroad
from tidewater would open up not only
their own properties, but the rest of
the copper belt and the whole interior
country. They bepan to build a road
from Cortez, when some 'shoe strinper'
raised the cry that they had monop
olized the world's greatest copper sup
ply and had dochlI cinched it by
nionopoilzinp transportation also. That
started the fuss. Thy needed cheap
coal, of course, Just as everybod r ebi.2

Weeping Water. Neb.
needs it. but somebody discovered the
danger of a monopoly of that and set
j up another shout. Ever sitae then the
yrilow press has been sereaniin?. The
government withdrew all eoal lauds
from entry, and it now refuses to
jrraiit patents to that which had been
properly located. We don't own a
foot of Alaskan eoal land. Miss Apple
ton. On the contrary, we haul our
fuel from Ilritish Columbia, just like
O'Neil and Gordon. Those who would
like to sell local eoal to us are pre
vented from doinjr so."
"It sound-; well to hear you tell it,"
said Eliza. "P.ut the minute' the coal
patents are issued you will buy what
you want, then freeze out the other
people. You expect to control the
mines, the railroads and the steamship
lines, but public necessities like coal
and oil and timber and water power
shouH belong to the people. There
has been an awakening: of the public
.'ons- ienee, and the day of monopolized
neeessiiies is passing."
"As loii as men own eoal mines they
will sell them. Here Ave are faced not
by u question of what may happen,
but of what lias happened. If you
nsreed to buy a city lot from a real
estate dealer and after you paid him
his price he refused to pivo you a
deed, you'd at least expect your money
back, wouldn't you": WU, that's the
ease of Uncle Sam and the Alaskan
minors, lie not only refuses to deliv
er the lot, but keeps the money and
forces them to pay more every year.
I represent a bdy of rich men who.
because of their power, are regarded
with suspicion, but if they did any
thing so dishonest as what our govern
ment has done to its own people they
would be .iailed."
When O'Neil and Natalie returned
they found the two still a renins.
"Haven't you finished your tiresome
discussions v asked Natalie.
".Mr. Trevor has almost convinced
me that the octopus is a noble creature,
filled with hisrh ideals and writhing at
the thrusts of the muckrakers," Eliza
told them.
