THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER. 7, 1010. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE 7. V . Yam!:.' Copyright, 1813, by CHAPTER XXII. Final Preparations. N the followii tiny Happy Tom arrived with fifty men. "I prot t he last mother's son I cohM tind." lie explained ns l'.c warmed himself at O'Neil's stove. "Iid you pro to llcpeV" '"I did. and 1 saw the splavvus him self." "(jordon?" "lie's worse thnn we thought." Tom tapped In's shining foieheail significant ly. -Loft to let!" "What insane?" "Xothius but echoes in his dome. The- town's as empty .-is Iiis lo:inet. too. and the streets are full of slow. It's a fciprht:" "Tell me about 3Irs. Gordon." "She's quite a person," said Slater slowly. "She surprised me. She's there, alone with him and a watehnian. She does all the work, even to kipruiiu; in the wood and eoal he's too busy to help, but she won't leave him. She told use that Dan and Natalie wanted her to eome over here, but she couldn't brins: herself to do it or let them assi-t in any way.' Gordon spends all his time at his desk, promoting, writing ad, and prospectuses. He's prot a p;rand scheme. He's found thru "Hope Consolidated' is full of rich ore. but the trouble is in prettinp: it out. so he's working on a new process of extrac tion. It's a wonderful process you'd never pruess what it is. He smokes it out! He says alb he needs is plenty of smoke. That bothered him until he hit on the idea of burninpr feathers. Now he's jilanninpr to raise ducks, because they've prot so much down. Isn't that the limit? She'll Lave to lit him into a padded cell sooner or later." "Poor devil!" said O Neil. "I'm sor ry. He had an unusual mind." Slater sniffed. "I think it's pretty soft for him myself. He's made better than a standoff he lost his memory, but he saved his skin. It's funny how some men can't fall. If they slip on a banana peel somebody shoves u cushion under 'cm before they liprht. 1 never prot the best of anything. If I dropped asiocp in church my wife would divorce me and I'd pro to the electric chair. Gordon robs widows and orphans riprht and left, then ends up with a lovinp: woman to take care of him in his old acre. Why. if I even robl.ed a blind puppy of a biscuit I'd leave a thumb print on his oar or the dosr's mother would turn out to be a bloodhound. Anyhow. I'd spend my declininpc years nestled up to a rock pile with a mallet in ny mitt and a low browed gentleman scowlinpr at me from the top of a wall. He'd lean on his shotrrun and say: 'Hurry up. Tat ty. It's prettii-p: late, and there's a ton of oakum to pick.' It just goes to show that some of us are born behind the prame and never pret even, while others, like Gordon. ;uit winner, no matter how much they lose." Ilav'mp: relieved himself of this fervid homily. Happy Tom unrolled a package of puni and thrust three sticks into his mouth. "Speakincr of bad luck." he continued, "when are you going to pret married. Murray?" O'Xeil started. "Why never! It isn't the same kind of proposition n building a bridge, you know. There's a little matter of youth and prood looks that counts considerably in the mar riage business. No woman would have an old chap like me." Slater took a mournful inventory of his chief's person, then said doubtful ly: "You might put it over. Murray. 1 ain't strictly handsome myself, but I did." - I As O'Neil slipped into his fur coat, after the fat man had slouched out. he taught sight tf himself iu the prlas.s of his bureau and paused. Ho leaned forward and studied the careworn countenance that peered forth at him. then shook his head. He saw that thej hair was growing grayer, that the face wa- very plain, and yes. unquestion-j ably it was no longer youthful. Of course he didn't feel old. but the evi-j deuce that he was so admitted of no! disproof, and it was evidence of a sort which no woman could disregard. For a week the ice rose slowly, a. foot a day. and in spite of the greatest watchfulness it took the false work with it here and there. I'.ut concen trated effort at the critical points saved the structure from serious injury. Then the jam in front of Jackson prla cier. went out. at least in part, and the he began to fall. Down it settled, smoothly, swiftly, until it rested once more upon the shores. It was still as linn as in midwinter and showed no sign of breaking: nor had itvmovcd downstream a hair's breadth. O'Nei! gathered his forces for the final on slaught. On April 5 the last of the steel for span No. 1 reached the front, and erec tion ws beror?. The men fell to with U ft J Harper & Brothers. a van and an enthusiasm impo-i"o'.e to describe. With incredible rapidity the he avy sections were laid in place. The riveters K'gaii their niita'!i- -;::. The towering three bent traveler ran smoothly on its track, and end r it grew a webwork of metal, bra-ed and re-en forced to withstand. i:i addition to' ordinary strains, the pressure of a b in dred mile an hour wind. To those who looked on the structure appeared to build itself, like some dream edifice. It seemed a miracle that human ban-Is could work that stubborn metal so j swiftly and with so little effort. But every piece had been cut and tit toil carefully, then checked and placed where it was. accessible. 'Now that winter had broken sprint came with a rush. The snows Lezau to shrink and the drifts to settle. Th air grew balmier with every day; the drip from eaves was answered by the gurgling laughter of hidden waters. Here and there the boldest mountain Fides began to show. an. I the tops of alder thickets thrust themselves into sight. Where wood or metal caught the sun rays the snow retreated. l'i l of ice water lx-gan to form at r.oon. The days were long. too. j-.d no frozen winds charged out of the north. s the daylight lengthened so did the forking hours of the toilers. On April IS the span was completed. In thirteen days Melleu's lew had laid -l"i ft-tt of the heaviest Mod ever used in a brid-o of this type. But there was no halt. The material for the second section had. been assembled meanwhile, and the traveler began to swing it into p!a-e. The din was unceasing. The clash f riveters, the creak and rattle of heists, the shouts of men. mingled iu a per sistent, ear splitting clamor, and lot. t by foot the girders readied out toward the secomi monolith which rose from the river K-d. The well adjusted hu man machine was running smoothly. Every man knew his place and the du ties that went with it; the hands of each worker were capable and .killed. But now the hillsides were growing bare, rills gashed the sloping snow ! fields, the upper gullies began to rum ble to avalanches forerunners of the process thru Won! 1 stri" the earth :' sno's- and ive and free t!:. river i:i :;!; its fury. In six days X) feet more of steel had been bolted f:;st to the o;ii-" plete section, and span No. 2 was in place. But the surface of the Salmon was no longer white ami pure; it was dirty and discolored now. for the de bris which had collected daring the past "winter was exposing itself. Tin icy covering was partially inundated also. Shallow ponds formed upon it and Mere rippled by the south breo.:e. Burning waters vi every side sang a menace to the workers. Then progress ceased abruptly. It became known that a part of the mate rial for the third span had gone astray in its long journey across the conti nent. There haTl been a delay at the Pittsburgh mills, then a blockade in the Sierras; O'Neil was in Omar at the end of the cable straining every nerve to have the shipment rushed through. Mellen brooded over his uncompleted work; Parker studied the dripping hills and measured the melting snows. He stilt smiled, but he showed his anxiety ill a constant nervous unrest, and he could not sleep. At length news came that Johnny Brennan had the steel aboard his ship and had sailed. A record run was pre dicted, but meanwhile the south wind brought havoc n its breath. The sun shone hotly into the valley of the, Sal mon, and instead of warmth it brought a chill to the hearts of those who watched and waited. Twelve endless, idle days crawled by. Winter no longer gave battle: she was routed a ml in her. mad retreat she threatened to overwhelm O'Neil's for tunes. On May 0 the needed bridge mem bers were assembled, and the erect ion of span C began. The original plan had been to build this section on the cantilever princiiIe. ' as to gain in dependence of the river ice. but to d- so would have meant slow won: anil much delay an expenditure of time j which the terms of the option made! impossible. Arrangements had been made, therefore, to lay it n fal-e Work, as the other spans had. been laid, risking everything upon the weather. I As a matter of precaution the south- ! cni half of the span was couueeff-d to ; the coiimlettd portion, but before thej connection couhkjbe fully made the re-N mainder of the jam iu front of Jack-? son glacier, which had caused so umdi . trouble heretofore, went out suddenly, j and the river ice moved elown.-trcam about a foot, carrying with it the1 whole intricate system of supporting j limbers beneath the u:i omplett J -span, j Hasty measurements showed that the north end of the steel then on the fajse. work was thirteen inches out of line. It was Mr. Blaine who brought the tidinprs of this last calamity to I.Uza Appleton. From his evident anxiety she gathered that the matter was of prraver consequence than she could well understand. "Thirteen inches in l.otHl feet can't amount to much," she said vaguely. Blaine smiled iu spite of himself. "You don't understand. It's as bad as thirteen foot, for the work can't pro on until everything is in perfect align ment. That whole forest of piles must be straightened." "Impossible!" she praspel. "Why. there are thousands of them." He shook his head, still smiling i doubtfully. "Nothing is impossible to Mellen and Parker. They've begun clearing away the ice on the upstream side and driving r.ew anchor piles uove. They're going to lit tackle to them and yank the whole thing ui- stream. I never hs a:d of such a thing. but else, th e's no time to do anything ... ei T r e cast a worried look at me smid-'g sky. happen next "I wonder what will This is getting on my nerve--." Out on tl'.e river swift work was p-o-ing on. Steam from every available boiler was carried across the ice iu feed pipes, the night shaft had been roused from s!e: p. and every available man was busied in relieving the pres sure. Pile drivers hammered long tim bers into the river bed above the threatened point, hydraulic jacks were pur hi place, and steel cables were run to drum am.l pulley. The men worked sometimes knee deep in i e water, but I Imr 71il iitit i-iiO.- T t . , - rni Tl ;ltl 11.' Ui'l JJ'". II 111 :k II. V.

After the southern half of the span had been completed the warmth in creased rapkliy. Therefore the steel cre'v lengthened its hours. The nun worked from 7 o'clock iu the morning ' until 11 o'clock at night. j )n the l"th. without warning of any j sort. Oarhehl glacier began moving for- ' ward. It had lain inactive even during i the midwinter thaw which had started ! its smaller brother, but that warm j sped had evidently had its effect upon j the giant, for now he shook o.T his t lethargy and awoke. lie stirred, g-ad- j ually at tirt and without sound, as if j I-ent upon surprising tl'.e interlopers; j then his speed increased. As tin? gla- J cier advam ed it thrust the nine foot I blanket of lake ice ahead of it. and this in turn crowded the river iee d -'.vn up-.)!i the bridge. 'The movement at the camp site en the first day was only two inches, but that was sutfi cicr.tly serious. The ouet of Cariieid at this time was. of course, unexpected, for no for ward moti-m had ever 1 eon reported prior to the spring breakup. The ac tion of the ice heretofore had b-on alarming. but. now consternation spread. A panic- swept the ranks of the builders, for thi was no short lived phenomenon. This was the an nual march of the glacier ilself. which promised to continue indefinitely. A tremendous cutting edge, nine feet in thickness, like the blade of a carpen ter's plane, was being driven against the bridge by an irresistible force. Once a'min the endless thawing and chopping and gouging of ice began, but th- more rapidly the e-ucroaching edge was cut away the more swiftly did it bear down. The huge mass began to rumble: it "calved." it split, it detonat ed, and. having finally loosened itself l'ro:.-i its bed. it acquired increased mo mentum. As the men with chisel.? and ytcimpoints became exhausted others took their places, but the structural gang clung to its peivh above, aug menting the din of riveters and the groaning of blocks and tackle. Among the abh bodied men sleep now was out of the question, for the ice gained in j spite t-r every eiiort. it was ioo nue to remove the steel iu the uncomplet ed span to a place of safety, for that woul d have required more time than j to bridge the remaining gap. Piling began to buckle and bend be fore that irresistible push. The whole nicely balanced mass of metal was in da tiger of being unseated. Mellen cursed the heavens in a black fury; I'arker smiled through white lips; O'Neil ground his teeth and spurred Ids men. on. This, feverish haste brought its-penalty. On th'j evening of the 14th, when the span was more than three quarters linisbed, a lower chord section fouled as it was lifted, and two load ing beams at the top of the traveler snapped. Oji that day victory had Ik-cii in Fight. The. driving of the last bolt had been but a question of hours, a race with the sliding ice. But with the hoisting apparatus out of use work baited. Swiftly, desperately.' without i loss of a moment's time, repairs began. No regrets were voiced, no effort was made to pkre the blame, for iiiai every ... A word 1 have cnted delay, and minute counted. Lioveu hours later the broken beams were replaced and ereeiion nan recomme-nceu. But U"W for those above there was i. i iuvj mviv uniL nua.. - . . life and limb. limb- tl.f-llc::s ,re wcanlm-s; some June and danger to pause the ice had gained, and no effort 1 could relieve the false work of its . strain. All knew that if it gave way the workmen would be caught in a . !i:in: iif ! !?iTi;i 1 v.-fuvl jitnl s!-l ' From the morning of May 14 until midnight of the loth the Ironworkers j clung p their tasks. 'TUey dropped their tools and ran to their meals; they j gtilpcd their food and fled back to their posts. The weaker ones gave nt ' and staggered nway. cursed and taunt-, ed by their companions, luey were rouprh fellows and in their deep throat ed profanity was a prayer. At midnight of the 10th the last riv et was driven, but the ice had gained to such an extent that the lower chord was buckled down stream about riprht inches, and the distance was growing steadily. Quickly the traveler was shifted to the .false .work beyond the pier, and the men under Melleu's direc tion fed to splitting out the bloc-king. As the supports were chopped away the "mass began to crush the last few v.ydgos; there, rras a grreat snapping n;d retidir.g of wood, and some one. . . i,i.n.ii-ui iwiiiit tliiint ril swaiiieu ia mi; wwNiu v . t , -. "Look of. There she goes!" A crv of terror arose.

The remaining sup- ; ,1irts eYo removed: the l.oOO tons of i . metal settled into place and rested se- curclv on its foundations. v, .e . u t.i.- .- he walked the completed span from r-'cr the barricade of piling bemeatli and tearing, but he i,:... i,n,t;i,ir issued no ortM"s to remove it, for the river was doing that. In the general haste pile drivers, hoists, boilers various odds and ends of machinery aud mater al had been left where they stood. Thev were being inunudated now. Many of them were all but sub - merged. There was no possibility of saving them at present, for the men were half dead from exhaustion. As he lurched up the muddy, uneven street to his quarters Murray felt his fatigue like a heavy burden, for ho had been sixty hours without sleep. "Look out! There she goes!" lie saw Slater and Appleton and tho rest of his -boys,"' he saw Natalie and Eliza, but he was too tired to speak to thorn r to grasp, what they said. Ho heard the workmen cheering Mellen and I'arker and himself. It was very foolish, he thought, to cheer, since the river had so nearly triumphed and the fmal test was yet to come. He fell upon his bed clothed as he was." An hour later the false work beneath span 3 collapsed. Although the bridge was not yet fin ished, the most critical point of its construction had been passed, for the fourth and final portion would be built over shallow water, and no great diffi culties were to be expected even though the ice went out before the work was Gnished. But Murray had made his promise and his boast to complete the structureMwithin a stated time, and he was determined to live up to the very letter of his agreement with the trust. As to the result of the breakup he had no fear whatever. Por once nature aided him. She seemed to smile as if in approval of his steadfastness. The movement of the channel ice became irregular, spas modic, but it remained firm until the last span had been put in place. (To r:e Continued.)

That Tanlac has surpassed even the greatest expectation is n-oven a hun dred, yes, a million times, by the i statements from people who hfave ! taken it for indigestion, dizzy spells, j sleeplessness, lheurnatism, backache, j neuralgia, stomach, kidney and liver j ailments. These statements contain over whelming evidence in favor of Tanlac. They prove beyond a question of a doubt the reconstructive powers of Tanlac. They show facts to minds that are in the least skeptical. They leave no room for anything but the truth; that Tanlac is a wonderful builder.
