"'Please don't! You 'have been ;
very good mul sweet to me, !
but" She shook her dark head, j
"Vnu couldn't marry me even if I ;
eared for you in that "way."
"Why? 1 intend to marry you
vliether you want to or not."
' h. Dan. it wouldn't do". You know
-about motler. I've nearly died of
shame, and It would be sure to come
up. Somebody would speak of it some
time."
I'au's blue eyes went cold and
smoky as he said:
"It would take a pretty brave person
to mention the subject in my presence.
I don't care a wlmop for anything Gor
don or your family may say or d ."
There wa a stir iu the hall outride.
and the speaker turned to behold Cur-tl-:
Gordon himself in the doorway, j
The latter in passing Lad been drawn '
by the .sound of voices and had looked ;
into the library. Iecognizin:r Natalie's I
caller, he frowned.
'"Vliat is Ihis" lie inquired coldly
"A proposal? Io I interrupt?"
"You do." said Ian: then.
after a
pause. "I'll finish it when you leave."
Grdon entered and spoke to his
stepdaughter.
"What i this man doing in my
house?"
"He is here at my invitation." she
replied.
"Tell him to leave. I won't have
him here."
"Why don't you tell me?" cried ban.
"I don't need an interpreter."
."Young man. don't be rash. There is
a limit to mv patience. If von have
the indecency to come here alter what ;
you' have dune And after wh:t your j
sister has said about rue, I shall cer- j
tainly" !
Dan broke in roughly: "I didn't come
to see you, Gordon. You may be v.:i
agreeable sisbt to some people, but
you're no golden sunset in my eyes.
Eliza flattered you."
Natalie crave a little territied cry. for
the men were glaring at each other
savagely. Neither seemed to hear he:.
"Did you read that article?
"Head it? I wrote it I"
Gordon's face tlamed suddenly with
rage, lie pointed to the door with
trembling fingers and shouted:
"Get out! I'll not have you here. I
discharged you once. Get out!" His
utterance was rapid and thj k.
Dan smiled mirthlessly: dangerously.
In a sot voice he said:
"I haven't finished proposing. I ex
pect to be accepted. You'll pardon
me. I know."
"Will you go, you"
ban turned to the girl, who aflr
that tirst outcry had stood as if spell
bound, her face pale, her eyes shining.
"Natalie, dear," he : -aid earnestly,
"you can't live in the same house with
this beast. He's a cheat and a scoun
drel. He's done his best to spoil your
life, and he'll succeed if you stay, so
come with me now. JCliza loves you
and wants you, and I'll never cease
lovinp you with all my heart. Marry
me and we'll go"
Gordon uttered an inarticulate sound
and came v forward with his hands
workinp hungrily.
"Don't interrupt!" warned Dan. over
his shoulder, and his white teeth
pleamed in sudden contrast with his
tan. "No man could love you as I do.
dear" Gordon's clutch fell upon him
"and tightened. Dan stiffened, and his
words ceased. Then the touch upon
his flesh became unbearable. "Whirl- i
in::, he wrenched -himself free. He
was like a wild animal now. IJody
and spirit had leaped into rebellion at
contact with Gordon. His lonp re
sentment burst its bounds. His lean
muscles quivered. His frame trembled
ns if it restrained some tremendous
pressure from within.
"Don't do that!" he cried hoarsely
mi 1 brushed the sleeve where his ene
my's Augers had rested as if it had
been soiled.
Gordon snarled and stretched out hi-;
hand n second time, but the ounu'i'i'
man raised his list and struck. On- e,
twice, apain and apain he ltunp his
bony knuckles into that purple, dis
torted face, which he loathed as a
thine: unclean. He battered down the
l ip man's guard; ripht and left he rain-
1 blows, stepping- forward as his vie-,
ti i- fell back. Gordon reeled, he paw
ed wildly, he swung his arms, but they
inoiinteted nothing. Yet he win a
heavy man. andalthough half stunned
1-y the sudden onslaught, he managed
to retain his feet until he brought up
auainst the heavy mahogany reading
table in the center of the room. His
TV treat ended there; another blow and
h. knees buckled, lii.s arms sagged.
Then Dan sururu sned all his strength
and swung. Gordon groaned, lurched
forward and syirawled upon tbewarm
Hrpr & Brothers
red velvet carpet, fine down, with his
limbs twisted under him.
His vanquisher stood over him for
an instant, then turned upon NataJJe
a face that was now keen and cruel
and predatory.
"Come: We'll be married today." he
taid. And. crossing swiftly, he took
her two Lauds in his. His voice was
harsh and imperative. "He's down and
out, so don't bo frightened. Now. hur
ry: I've had enough of this nonsense."
"I I'm not frightened." she said
dazedly. "Hut I" Her eyes roved
past him as if in quest of something.
"Here: This'll do for a wrap." Dan
whipped hi;- fur overcoat from a cnair
anl tlung it about her. "My hat. too!"
He crushed it over her dark hair and.
slipping his nrm about her shoulders,
urged her toward the hall.
"Mother: She'll never"
""We'll call 0:1. her together. I'il do
the talking for both of us." lie jerked
the front door open with a force that
threatened to wrench it from its hinges
and thrust his companion but into the
bracing cold. Then, as Gordon's Japa
nese butler came running from the rear
of the house, he turned.
"Hey. you:" he cried sharply. "The
bo has gone cu a liwle visit. Don't
stii.nliir- "ver him. And tell Mrs. P.r
dou that Mr.
Mrs. Appleton will
call on her in a few days Mr. and .Mrs
Dan App'etou oi" Omar""
It was bv.t a few steps to the per.
Dan felt that, he was treading on air,
for the tierce, unreasoning joy of pos
session was surging through Lis v"i::s
Kis oid indecision and doubt were gone,
and the men he met recoiled before his
hostile glance, staring after h'ra in be
wilderment. But as he lifted Natalie down into
the launch he felt her shaking violent
ly, and of a sudden his selfish exulta
tion gave way to a tender solicitude.
"There, there:" he said gently
"Don't cry. honey. It's all right. It's
all right."
She raided her face to Ids. and his
Lead swam, for he saw that she was
radiant.
"I'm not crying; I'm laughing. 1
I'm mad insane with happiness."
He i ri'-lii d Per t k'ni. IT' burled

crank in hand, paused, staring. He
was st H I open mouthed when Dan
catching sight of him. shouted:
"What's the matter, idiot? Is your
back broken?"
"Yes no. sir:" The fellow spun the
flywheel vigorously. The little craft
began to vibrate and quiver and then
swung out from shore.
A moment later and the enuikicmar
yelled. He came stumbling forward
and seized the steering wheel as the
boat grazed a buoy.
"That's right, you steer." Dan laugh
ed. relaxing his hold. To Natalie he
said. "There's a sky pilot in Omar."
and presse d her to him.
"It's a long way to Omar." she an
swered, then hid her faee against his
breast and said meekly. "There's one
in Corioz. too. and he's much nearer."
O'Neil behaved handsomely wdien ho
was told what had happened.
He hurried into town on the follow
ing morning, and his congratulations
were so sin -ere. his manner so hearty
that Dan forgot his embarrassment
ai.d took a shameless delight in adver
tising his happiness:. Nor did Murray
stop with mere words; he summoned
all his lieutenants and Omar rang that
night with a celebration such as it had
never before known. The company
i hef had been busy ail day, the com
missary had been ransacked, and the
wedding sup;kt was of a nature to in
terfere with ofiice duties for many
days thereafter. Tom Slater made a
congratulatory speech in reality, a
mournful adjuration to avoid the pit
falls of matrimonial inharruony and
openly confessed that his digestion
was now impaired beyond relief, oth
ers followed him; there were music,
laughte r and a riotous popping of corks,
and over it all O'Neil presided with
igrace and mellowness. Then, after the
two young people had beta made thor
oughly to feel his good will, he went
back to the frout and Omar saw him
but seldom iu the weeks that followed.
T romantic LiLua this self sought se
clusion had but one meaning the man
was broken hearted. She did not con
sider that there might be other reasons
fur his constant presence at the gla
ciers. Of cour:o since the unwelcome pub

with l.'iis. and by dint of strong argu

ous investigation might Lave proved
disastrous; but. tortunateiy. Curtis llm-'li-'ii
jacked leisure, iu which to follow
the matter up. The truth was that
after his public exposure at Eliza's
hands he was far too busy mending his
own fences to spare time for attempts
upon his rival. Conscfneutly. the
story was allowed to die out. and
O'Neil was finally relieved t- learn" that
its effect had been killed- Precisely
how Illis bad effected this be did not
know nor did he care to inquire. Iilis

nties, nui
was not
of abstract right or wrong
a subject for s'jueamish cou
sideration.
It was at about this time that the
sanguinary afu-ay at P.eaver canyon
began to bear fruit. One day a keen
faced, quiet stranger presented a card
at Murray.s oiLe with the name
"Henry T. Illaine.'
Beneath was the address of ihe ITei
dlemaun building in New York, but
otherwise the card told nothing. Some
thing in Mr. Blaine's bearing, however,
led Murray to treat him with more
than ordinary consideration.
"I should li'ae to go over your work,"
the stranger announced, and O'Neil I
himself acted as guide. Together they
inspected the huge concrete abutments,
then were lowered into the heart of
the giant caissons which protruded
from the frozen stream. The Salmon
lay locked in its winter slumber now.
The glaciers stood as silent and in
active as the snow mantled mountains
that hemmed them in. Down intirf the
very bowels of the river the men de
scended, while O'Neil described the
nature? of the bottom, the depth and
character of his foundations and thL ;
measure of his progress. He explain-!
1 the character of that bar which hiy '
above the bridge site and pointed ou.tj
the heavy layers of railroad iron with;
v.-!,ifli enmeiir wnrlr wr. re-cn-!
"I spent nearly two seasons studying!
this spot before I began the bridge."
he continued. "I had nieu here ni.uht
and Jav observing the currents and
the action cf the ice. Then I laid ray
piers accordingly. They are armored
and re-enforced to withstand any
shock."
"The river is subject to quick rises,
I Relieve," suirested lilaine.
"Twenty feet iu a few hours." ,
"The volume of ice must be almost
irresistil.de."
"Almost." Murray' smiled. "Not
quite. Our ice breakers were especial
ly designed by Parker to withstand
any weight. There's nothing like theru
anywhere. Iu fact, there will be noth-
uig hue this bridge when its com-1
-.trrw"! !
Blaine offered no comment, but his !
questions searched to the depths of the
builder's knowledge. When they were
back in camp he said:
"Of course you know why I'm here:"
"Your card told me that, but I don't
need the Ileidleinanns now."
"We are prepared to reopen negotia
tions." "Why?"
"My people are human; they have
feelings. Yon read Gordon's lies about
us and about that fight at Denver can
yon? Well, we're used to abuse, and
opposition of a kind we respect. But
that man stirred public opinion to sucli
a point that there's no further use of
heeding it. We're ready to proceed !

"This delay wiIlcost you something." '
Mr. lilaine shrugged. "You made
that point plain when you were in New
York. Were acvnstomed to pay for
our mistakes.'
"Will you cover this in the shape of
an option?"
"That's what I'm here for. If you
finish your bridge and it stands the!

.O'Neil agreed heartily. "You're very
welcome, Mr. lilaine. I like your brand
of conversation. I build railroads: I
don't run them. Now let's get down to
figures."
The closing of the option required
several weeks, of course, but the out
come was that even before midwinter
arrived O'Neil found himself in the
effect the sale wa.s made and on 'terms
which netted him and his backers 100
per cent profit. There was but one

they knew to be certain, even though j
more exiensive. He did not argue f
that the task was of unprecedented !
diiticulty. for he had made his promise
and was ready to stand or fall by it. ',
It is doubtful, however, if any other
contractor would have undertaken the
work on such time; in fact, had it been
a public bridge it would have required
tour years in the building. Yet O'Neil
cheerfully staked his fortune on com
pleting it in eight months.
With his option signed and the task
squarely confronting him. he realized
with fresh force its bigness and the
weight of responsibility tfcf-.t rested
upon his shoulders. He legau the most
dramatic struggle of his career, a light
1 against untried conditions, a desperate
race against the seasons, with ruin as
the penalty of defeat.

citinp: times; the Indians raised and
massacreed some twenty of our.citi-
zens before we were aware of their
having any hostile intentions. The
j first persons that were killed were my
nearest neighbor and two hired men,
one mile from my place. It was done
by three Indians, who .stole three of
his horses and ran down the river
some eighteen miles and jo'nod a band
of fifty others; al! of whom started
back, killing every man they could
find. Many of the men had wive ".
who were
woman and
merciless! v abused: one
infant were stabbed to
death and then burned in her house.
In the meantime, I, with some twenty
men and thirty women and children,
had got together and fortified the best
we could and gathered such arms as
we could get, though very poor ones,
to repel the red devils when they
should come. But they did not attack
tis. About one hundred came one day
and viewed our works, but came to
the conclusion that they could not take
us without too heavy loss, but they
held us there twelve days, until rcl
diers came to our relief. There are
about 500 Indians on the war path r.o
far as we know. The soldiers and
volunteers are getting to the front
daily, and fights arc frequent. Our
loss will reach 100 men; that cf the
Indians is not known, but judge it to
be as heavy. I have no idea how long
this is going to last, but think.it can
not last very long, unless some of the
adjoining tribes take a part in it. Busi
ness of every kind is stopped and
every one is trying to look out for his
wig. I came to this place yesterday
with a widow and four children of one
of the victims, brought here for
safety. I start home tomorrow, which
is fifty miles distant. The Indians
have stolen six horses from me, and
took a lot of my blankets and clothing.

Las
evening a message was ie
in this citv announcing the
cciveu
sudden death at her home in Lincoln
of Mrs. Susie Skinner, a former resi
dent of this city for many years, and
a sister of Chris Mockenhaupt and
Mrs. J. R. Kelley. The death of Mrs.
Skinner came very suddenly, as a re
sult of heart failure and before it
was possible for the family to give
any assistance the mother had passed
away. "
Idis. Siunno. was boin in this city
fifty-six years ago, whure her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Chris Mcckenhaupt, sr.,
had bt-en very early settlers, and here
she had passed the greater part of
her lifetime, and was married in this
city to Mr. L. E. Skinner, who was
for a nunibr of years engaged in the
practice of law and the conduct of an
abstract office. About twenty-three
years ago the family removed to Lin
coln, where they have since made
their home and where Mr. Skinner
died eleven years ago. Since the
death of the husband and father, Mrs.
Skinner had made her home with her
sons in the capital city. To mourn
the loss of this good woman there
are left seven children, four daugh
ters, Mrs., May Green, Mrs. Joseph
Smith, Mrs. Kenneth Hobbs, Lincoln;
Mrs. Elmer Rogers, Joplin, Mo.; three
sons, Arthur Skinner, now ill in the
army hospital at Mercedes, Texas;
Tom Skinner of Lincoln, and Nelson
Skinner, whose residence is not
