ZJ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 191G. PLTTSMOTTTn SEMl-WEEKLT JOURNAL. PAGE 7. r ( s 1 1 t , 1 CHAPTER XVIII. Blue Fiannc! and Corduroy. '-r- lilE worltl was snowbound ail H. I that small world wbkli lay Prs la-twrf-n the hills in 1 ha Viii- lev at Thirtr-MUi'. Fur two da;. .s it snowed so heavily th.it all work moved but intermittently at the up river camp, and then, two days before Christmas, the m-.-ivury dropped sharp ly into the bulbs and (he weather cleared. From his window Stephen O'Mnra watcl.e.I the heavy loads crawl up to tii' storehouse door, lie watched the drivers throw tarpaulins over the boxes and Knew that they were too weary tt unload that nisht. And lie was Mill there at the frosted pane when the throe laeu. Louie still plowing ahead, hove into view airain from the direction of the siables and came straight toward his own shack. He ripened the door and bade them enter before they lnu I had a chance to knock. The swaep-er in the shoulders of two of them tnM him what to expect. Big Iiuie was oi!y clumsy, as usual. -You did well to make it." he told the litter kindly, as he always ad dressed him. His nod to the ethers. Who reeked of white whisky, was in part a question, in no wise a welcome. "WellV" ho asked. ' V Apparently there had been a confer oin-e beforehand, for there was no hes itancy on the part of Fallon, who hud been ordained spokesman. "We'vo come for our time," he prowled. Steve nodded gravely. "I see," he murmured. "May I ask what's your grievance this time?" They "were satellites of ITarrisnn. r.ocr.ue of that he had kept them all where his eyes could find them at times. And, even though, their arch leader in discontent had not crossed lii.s path in many days, he listened now to :;n echo of Harridans activities. They're offering three a day in the rcscrvf- camps." Fallon should not have pleated. "Three a day' and a liouus for the high week cut. "We're poinjr back to the river." "I see," acrain observed Steve. "Are they guaranteeing this wage for as long as you want to work?" Apparently they had decided, too, that there should be no bargaining. We want our time," Fallon reiterat ed. "This is going to be a man's year on the river!" "You also?" Steve inquired of Miayne. "Yes, rue also," lie came back, "an" a hundred others before the ice goes out." Big Louie he had given up for lost before that, and yet it was with Big Louie that Steve made a sincere effort. "Fd like to have you stay, Louie." lie faced the third man. "I need you, for you can do more with horses than any'man I know. You are worth three a day to me. Do you care to think it over?" Big Louie's eyes had been mournful when he stumbled iu out of the cold. rriii-i novo that now. He started tc J. U v J ' ' x turn toward the window for a look at the stables nnd then thought better of it. Resolutely, for him, he shook his head. ."I am do:;e me," he muttered. "I work for no company that will leave honest men to starve." It was hopeless from the start, yet Steve tried again. 'I can promise you work as long as you are able to hold a rein." he of fered, but he moved nearer the door while he was speaking. "That is all I can promise." Perhaps Fallon believed that Rig 2,inio was weakening. Perhaps he felt That the situation was too highly dra matic to be wasted, for he made a wide flourish with one hand. "We want our time, and we want it now." he threatened. "We're going to show you who bosses this river before we're- done with you!" Fallon shouldn't have gloated; he shouldn't have threatened. And Shayne shouldn't have smiled. Steve had slip pea the latch loose. Now he swung open the door. "Call for your time at the Morrison otlice," he said evenly, "and if you're going why, go!" By collar and belt-he? swung him back and drove him sprawling into a drift. "Are you in a harry, too,-Shayne?'' he asked pleasantly, and Shayne buried h'i-! head beside Fallon's in the snow. Then Steve closed "the door -carefully p.iid turned again to Big Louie. "Louie," he said, "I make it a rule tu nvgo no man who "docs not w ish to ttay. If it needs persuasion to keep you I do not want you here. But you are running with 'the w rong crowd, Iotiie. You'll learn it some day, but gome day may be too late." The big, dreamy eyed man was hard ly listening, but he gestured toward the door. And Steve treated his de parture kindly. is h? hd alsys.treflt pd his prese'a'p. Outside, where Shayne and Fallot! bad picked themselves up Big Louie mM I .. -i ... E levitated and fumbled in his pocket n ith a cold crumped hand. He deliv ered t lie letter for Stephen which had been intrusted to him by Miss Sarah. There are many men like Big Louie wlio are pitifully faithful until events outstrip their intellects. Steve was sorry for hiui, and a half hour later, after he had read Miss Sarah's prim note requesting his presence at dinner tit 7:.J0 Christmas eve, he grew sor rier still while he watched the ill as sorted trio meet once more, blanket packs upon their backs and snov. shoes on their feet. Big Louie had joined the other' two from the direction of the stables. There were words between them, for Steve saw the huge man's arm lift to strike Shayne to the ground anl then drop harmlessly back to his side. And Steve knew what that bit of pantomime meant. Big Louie had been to bid his team goodby. There was a smudge of brown sugar across his coat, though the . watcher was too f&r away to see that. But he knew that Big Louie had been crying, knew that Shayne had smiled. It was the second time that Shayne had smiled that evening his second bad mistake. Long after they had disappeared into the north toward the Reserve com pany's camps Steve wondered that it had not cost him his life. .Miss Sarah's note which had been al most a week on the way was very primly correct, but the inevitable post script which underran it sounded a more intimate note. "We are not excessively formal as a rule, Stephen," she wrote, "so a din ner jacket will be adequate. As I am expecting two other guests besides your friends, Mr. Morgan and Carrot t Devereau, I must ask you to let no business matters interfere with your promptness." Steve dared not let himself wonder who those other guests would prove to be. Miriain Burrell, he knew, had nl ready written Garry that this was to "And if you're going why, go!" be the saddest Christmas end the mer riest that she had ever known, giving as respective reasons her inability to be with umi ail(l luc fac't that she was so entirely his. Because he would not let himself hope this time he was not disappointed, or at least so he told himself, when he found only Dexter Allison with Caleb the next afternoon near 0. jAnd on a sudden thought his eyes went roving around the room then, looking for Archibald Wicker- sham. But Miss Sarah gave him no i time for a protracted scrutiny. "Your room is ready, Stephen." she told him and steered him toward the stairs. "Y"ou have an hour in which to dress, and you know already that I am old maidenishly .strict." And then, three-quarters of an hour later, when ho had dressed and turned to the stairway Barbara was there at the foot of the flight waiting for him to appear. In a little low pink satin gown that made rounded her slenderness made her appear even smaller than she was she gave him an elaborate courtesy from the main floor and flung up at him her laughter. "Merrv Christmas. Sir Galahad!" she called. Steve, who was only dimly aware of the fact that Garry and Fat Joe had arrived, the latter guilty of his first dinner jacket and enormously proud of hi guilt, stood looking at Barbara while she was chattering at him with out hearing distinctly a word, she spoke. "You look as though I were a wraith," the girl accused him. "Am I so pale after a few weeks of sophisti cated city air?" "I thought you looked like shall I tell you what I thought?" "Most ertainly." she was forced to insist. "Wasn't it a bald enough invi- -I tation for a pretty speech?" T thought ' you looked like a' small dink bon bon," responded Steve leisure- ly. and. while the rest laughed at her ! discomfiture. Fat Joe leaned over and nudged Garry. "What'd 1 tell you?" he demanded. What'd I tell you Say, ain't he working well tonight?" There was no keeping the girl within doors after dinner was over. She ran upstairs and changed into moccasins and white blanket coat and skirt that .arely met the moccasin tops halfway. nd Steve, who had changed, too. and was waiting for her when she came down, had kuolted a crimson scarf about the middle of hisbelicd jacket to match the white one twisted about ler throat. The man and girl climbed far that night in quite unbroken silence. They had reached the crest of the first hill and stopped with the higher ridges in front of them, black bulks filigreed tvlth white, before Barbara decided that she would have to make him tallr. From the first be talked fitfully that nignr. on other occasions sue nan no ticed how his mind seemed to verr. whimsically, from one topic to anoth er with litile apparent continuity ol thought only to vwing back again just when she was beginning to feel that she had lost the thread of inference- to point his argument with parnl'els that were new and delightful wisdoms to her ears. But tonight his grave voiced divergences oftener than not left her thoughts behind his thoughts. "It is a very easy ir.itry to get lost in, lie remarxc.i wihmi no rati iimu t insist that his sense of direction and not hers should be the one to be trusted. It doesn't seem complicated." he pondered. "To a man who has come into the world with bis sense of north and south and cast ar.d west a!I safely relegated to IiN backbone insic.id of having to depend upon the ti!.u-hty functions of his brain for his go Me it's about the simplest tiling there is. He finds his way without thinking about the lay of the land or moss on the trees or the sun or s-ars. But the oth er ('to -The one who has t stop and reason that he must travel s many miles to the west to reach home in the afternoon because he came that many in the morning why, he even gets to doubting his compass, until night catches him without a roof over his head and no wood collected for a campiire." "I shall try to remember that," se answered soberly. "If ever I am lost I I shall try t wait confidently for daylight and keep my eyes to the fore." She was near to tears when he stoop el and knelt in the snow to tighten a thong slipping from one webbed foot. Pelow them stretched a plain of shim mering frost points, bounded by iu ;;crutab!e walls of black timber. Some where within the warmer heart of a swamp a fox yapped hungrily: some where within her own heart his whim sical discourse-had awakened a sense of the mystery of his wilderness its friendship for those who love it its implacable enmity for those who do not understand. And he looked up just v. hen that emotion came Hooding into her face. "It is wonderful wonderful won daful!" she breathed, throwing out In Ih arms with that ecstatic impulsive ness which he knew so well. "Now I know why you said men always re turn to it once they have felt its spell." "Y'ou arc lovelier than you know!" came back from him, almost gruJly arrr.in. and she could not parry with lightness so swift and strained a speech. "You always tell me very pretty things," was all she could think of to say in reply. But then, rising, he Hung back his head and shook himself as if throwing off a burden t'jo restraining and irk some. He laughed aloud, and from that minute until he loosed her feet from the snowshoes he was inor; like her ' blue flannel and corduroy" lover again. But his attack no longer iuade her fear herself. "If I cared for you, yes," he made her admit before he would let her go in that night. "If I cared for you my engagement to no man could .stand in the way. But that is the reason I know I do not care." She had seen him grave with duubt that night; seen him light to shake it off. There was doubt in his answer now. "Because I am not" But he could not force himself to ask it. "Because I could never care as you would demand the woman should care who marries you." She wanted to help him a little, she didn't know just w hy. I'ity is a very dangerous emotion when pity is not sought. "You are loving uie that way tins minute," lie said, but his words were dogged. "Loving me more than von know." There was neither reference to her letter nor mention of that night at' Thirty Mile when she had stolen out to bid him goodby. Other long tnimpi followed on other pule and fccro in'ghts, but hi3 attitude remained much the same. a "You will bo coining back," he told her again the day he put her on the train. "You will be back in the spring?" It was his old. hopeful challenge, with all the hope left out. "I think so." she faltered in return. "I mean to come and see the comple tion of your work if father will let me." She knew a moment of confu sion. "I wonder many nights if you are safe up here in the hill?." Indeed. Miss Sarah had made prog ress, though the surface indications wero small. The girl would never think of him again simply in terms of blue flannel and corduroy. But that was not tue most uisturjjinsij TiXii memory which she carried away with her. "I love you." He framed the words silently as the train was pulling out, and, although their positions wore re versed, the moment was so reminis cent of that day when he had leaned out of her father's switch engine cab and asked if she wanted a ride that It made her throat ache. She waved a small gloved hand to him oil the platform. She did not want to go. (To Be Continued.) ' JN PLATTSMOUTH FORTY YEARS AGO. Tom Stevenson is here, too, and biGuj'ht an atmosphere of Nebraska City along with him. Hen. T. N. Bobbitt of Tipton is in town. We learn that while some peo ple find fault with Mr. li. as a legls lator, no one can say aught against his farming, he having raised corn by the acre and hogs by the carload this year. Sam Chapman wen his Eaton case in the supreme court, which m quite a feather in his cap, several of the big lawyers of Nebraska having tried their hands on Eaton vs. Hasty in the past twenty-iive or thirty years. Nathan has got a new clerk taken in a partner, and the firm will now be Ccieruan, Nathan 5 Sou. With this increase of capital and help they will be able to do an increased business. The young gent aiivetl here. Monday n'e.ht an.l seems much pleased with our city, and the prospects of living here weight ton pounds. On our ietu? n from Omaha hmt Fi i Jay we didn't know whether it was ciuself or Frank Guthmr.n had been getting married. The house was ful of cake corn, wine and oil of plenty abounded, and the printers had a feast for several days. That is tc say part of them did on part of the good things We can only wish Frank bon voyage again and hope he may never lack the wherewith to make his friends glad. The Visit cf .Mr. Finch. Mr. Finch, the great temperance red-ribbon man, closed his labors here en Sunday evening lat, by talking to an audience which packed Fitzger ald hall full. No more can it be sail that only nigger minstrels or a schoo exhibition can induce Plattsmouth to turn out in force. A little, pale, over worked temperance lecturer brought thm all out. old and young. That's saying a good deal for Mr. Finch. Further, over ;.8'" persons, male and fcma'.e, have taken the red ribbon an. signed a pledge to abstain from al alcoholic drink as a beverage. Three hundred eighty-four dollars and fifty-three cents in cash was raised in all, which after paying the expenses of the lecturer, hall, etc leaves about 200 for the purchase of a library and the cr-tablishmcnt of a vending room. We understand Mr. G:cs.ory has offered the use of his east front room on the ground floor and a committee of the red ribbon brigade have the matter of organiza t'en in hand. It. will be a great "hies ?irg to Platt:;mouth if it is kept up and made a success. Besides all this the ladies of the Red Ribbon club, with the aid of some of the gentlemen, trimmed up aw f:erl FarmelcVhall (free for the oc casion) for 'a handsome New Year's dinner. A great many callers came to see these ladies, Red Ribbons and Gen ti'cs, as the Mormons call Outsiders In addition Mrs. Van Pelt of Lincoln came down to organise a Good Temp la vr.' lodge, in which all the ladies can join, and as Mrs. Van Pelt is the chief rranager of the reading room at Lin coin our reading room committee wil consult with her as to the best meth ods of opening and sustaining our new enterprise. RUSSIANS TRY TO WEAKEN TEUTON London, Nov. 21. Another Russian offensive along the line from Con stanza to Cernavodu wiij increase the intensity cf the fighting in the' Bal ken:-:. This is believed to le the only step which can lessen the weight of General von Felkenhayn'ii pressure on the Wallachian frontier of Rumania. The Rumanian army is in the great est danger of being outflanked. They are being forced back from the valley of the Jiul.l Meanwhile Falkenhayn is sweeping around their rear, lessening the gap through which they must retreat and circumscribing that line of reterat so that its direction, apparently must be due east. . - Evacuation of the western part of Rumania scorns necessary to save the Rumanian army.
