CHAPTER L The express train of that monument of engineering skill, the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, daily tra Terse the ex treme eastern portion of the Rocky Moun tain lying between the city of Deorer on the north and the smaller city of Pueblo on the south, and summer tourists u well as all-the-year-round men of busi nes pas over the picturesque road by hundreds and by thousands in the course of a single year. There was a time, however, and not so Tery long since, either, when white men were very scarce in that section and when the only means of locomotion was a ruuch dilapidaled coach, whose time schedule was practically hlled oat to suit the driver, as he, with much grumbling am) little speed, carried Uncle Sam's mails from stage to stage. 8ome twenty years since there was, about midway between Denver and Colo rado Springs, a point where the broad alley narrowed into a deep and wild gorge, known then as the Andy Jackson Guleh. In the year eighteen huudred and seventy-three the individual who for a considerable time had filled the dual posi tion of coach agent and postmaster, made an interesting discovery. By the follow ing spring the gulch was alive with a population of three hundred white nieu and three women not counting Indians . and Chinese. The Andy Jackson Gulch contained a rich vein of silver, euough to make the locality a scene of much ac tivity for five whole years, and, exactly twelve months after the pioneer post masters important discovery the Hose dale mining camp was floating bravely on a Hood-tide of wealth and prosperity. Of course, the assertion that Rosedale was a success as regards population and riches does not necessarily imply that the : streets were paved with patent noiseless . asphalt and lighted by electricity, or that the stores boasted plate glass fronts, nor ;yet that the camp owned a city hall peo pled with a mayor and common council. Kosedale had no pavements, for the very excellent reason that it possessed no streets to pave. There was not a public lamp of any kind whatsoever from one end of the gulch to the other, and the single store which supplied the bodily needs of the miners was located in a prim itive shed which was noticeably innocent ot glass. The total absence of a mayor or other civic official was in itself a blessing in disguise, for taxes were as yet an un known quantity at Kosedale, and no bad language was provoked among the citi lens by reason of unlit lamps, muddy crossings and other necessary evils which hover about older and larger communities. And yet, notwithstanding all drawbacks, "good times" were decidedly in the as cendant at the Kosedale mining camp. Not in their homes did the miners invest the fruits of their prosperity. A modern Architect or house builder with nineteenth .century notions of improvements and aes thetic art would have received very little encuragemeut at Hosed ule, where it is doubtful if there was a single residence or other building which contained more than one door, two rooms and two squares of glass, or that had cost its owned a fifty dollar bill even at "young Colorado" prices. True, there was "Gilllcuddy's" hotel office and store, according to what use could be made of it, or according to the humor of the person who happened for the time being to be speaking of that place. It was a favorite spot of rendez vous and, except during working hours, wag usually well filled with customers and loafers loafers whom Mr. Gillicuddy found it policy to tolerate, having in mind the fact that they were all of them not only past but also prospective "patron. It bore a marked contrast to all the other tenements in RosedsJe. The hotel, for such it was primarily, covered a consid erable area and the rough frame building was actually two stories in height, al though it lost some of its upper-story dig nity, owing to the poverty-stricken ap pearauce of the stairway, which was a flimsy sort of step ladder placed outside the building. Upstairs nothing existed but several seven-by-eight dormitories, furnished uniformly with a truckle bed and a camp stool little dens for the use of which Landlord Gillicuddy charged prices that would have shamed even the lessee of White Mountain hotels! But it was downstairs that Gillicuddy' bowed its patrons the fertility of it resources and the variety of the entertain ment which it was able and prepared to fford. First, there wa the office hotel office, coach office, express office, post- office and ticket office for the railroads, "of which Denver was, at that time, the western terminus. This office occupied ne end of the narrow rrame building and was presided over by Gillicuddy himself, who sat in a chair of the orthodox kitchen aiiecie, surrounded by full and empty cigar boxes. Here Gillicuddy Installed himself from morning till night, transact ing the more important business of the house and doling out cheap cigars at high price and innumerable packages of strong tobacco. Back of the "utSi" wa the bil liard room, boasting a solitary combina tion pool and billiard tabic,. together with few card tables, and beyond this apart ment was the dining room. The last room In the building wa the kitchen, but not veu from the kitchen was there any egress to the street or what answered for street snd all who entered Gilli cuddy' entered it through the little office and passed out the same fy under the landlord's eye. One peculiarity about Gillicnddy's was lorjced by every stranger and new arrival one side of this remarkable building were ranged about twenty -five empty flour and salt barrels, giving the place the appear ance of a warehouse. This was Gilli cuddy' verandah, and as sure as evening time came round, just as surely would the twenty-five barrels be occupied by twenty-five men, smoking while they exchang ed snake stories aud reminiscence of "old day East." It was about 7 o'clock on a ummer evening. The fact that it was Wednesday evening brought a larger crowd than us ual to the "verandah," for on Wednes days and Saturday the coach arrived from Denver aud she wa now about due. They were a motley crew, those rough esrerners, yet, although they were dressed very much alike, they presented a good deal of variety, and it was quite a cosmopolitan garnering. J nere was one young fellow, who had not secured a scat. who would have been remarked in a much larger, more elegant and more refined crowd. He was not smoking, but, with his felt hat pulled down over his eyes and bis hands thrust deep into hi pockets, wa idly reclining against the corner of the house. Even when the coach drew up this voting man did not change his Iwsition; he merely raised hi head slight ly to watch the only outside passenger alight. But having once rested his eye on that outside passenger, he became greatly interested and closely scanned the new ar rival as he entered the office. 1 he outside passenger was a man de cidedly on the shady side of forty, who looked a though he was lat least for the time being) well acquainted also with the shady side of life. He looked hungry ana haggard he also looked sly and vi cious. "I want to transact a little business be fore it gets dark," said the stranger to Landhwd Gillicuddy. "Keep a room for me, please; 1 will return in an hour or so. The voice sounded strangely familiar to the young man outside the door, and yet he could not place the coach passenger. Again he eyed the shabby man closely as he emerged from the office, and watched him as he disappeared along a track which led to one or two outlying huts and shan ties. Evidently the man was not a total .stronger to Rosedale, for he knew his way anoiit; anynow, tne young tellow a inter est was aroused, for some cause or other known to himself. "Know him. Max'" asked the occupant of the nearest verandah barrel, who had noticed the young man's watchful atti tude. Max again pulled his soft hat over'his eyes as he slowly said: ract is, Jimmy, I don t know and yet I think I ought to know him. I'll look a little closer when be gets back for the night." It has been intimated that women were scarce article in Kosedale that they numbered only three. One of them, Sarah Jlrown, was a good angel to the boys. N'ot that Sarah who was nearly forty years old was exactly a seraph, but she was a splendid nurse and cook for a sick man, and could mend clothes or write a letter for a well man. Not even an angel with genuine wings and sterling gold harp could have been more welcome at the camp, and every man in Rosedale had a good word for Sarah. Consequently, when, about midnight five hours after the arrival of the coach Si Iliggs staggered into Gillicuddy', pale as a ghost and trembling like a leaf, and announced that Sarah Brown was dead murdered indignation ran high, though not one of the miners could so much as guesr at the culprit. But young Max Brett walked straight to Mr. Gillicuddy and asked him a couple of question. "Gillicuddy, what name did that strang er give you?" "He didn't register, Max," wag the reply. "How' that?" "Said he'd do it when he came back." "Then he hasn't turned in yet?" "No, Max." "I'll tell you what hi name is, Gilli cuddy," stated Max loweringly. "His name is De Watts. If he show up, hold him until you can give him to the sheriff,, and then have the sheriff find me if it cost a thousand dollars!" Again, as be turned on hi heel toward the excited crowd in the billiard room, he muttered: "I guessed it was that scoundrel all the time, but hi disguW wa immense and well-nigh deceived me. I'll be even with him, though, and if there's half a chance I'll have him before another forty eight hours. Boy," he shouted aloud in a deep, clear voice, "I bad intended leav ing here on the coach aeat Monday. If Billy Gorman will lend me hi pony I hall go now. Thank, Billy" (as that worthy nodded assent) "I will leave the nag at Colby Gap station. You saw that stranger to-night, boys? Well, he is the murderer, so don't forget It if you ever see him again. I think I can ran bim down. Good-by, boys." Half an hour later Mac Brett, adven turer (for want of a better description) was riding fast along the narrow pony track which led past the murdered wom an'! cottage. He rode all night and cov ered nearly thirty miles, bat when he reached Colby Gap station on the newly built railroad, the east-bound passenger train bad left two hours before, carrying with It the man he wanted. So, Impa tiently enough, Mai waited for the even ing iraln, knowing fall well that twelve hours was a long atart for as old and perienced rascal like Da Watts. CHAPTER II. A Bitter quarrel wa in progress be tween the Great Occidental Railroad Company and it employe chiefly the engineer. At the sioe time, the engi neer being, for the most part, a highly intelligent and sensible body ot ui-u. no serious trouble had thus far been expt-ri enred. nor wa say feared or apprehend ed by the company and its official. The engineers had not yet found it necessary to have recourse, neither did they propose to have recourse, to any act of violence. They knew full well that mora force, backed by legal method of coercion, are more effeiive and decidedly more popu lar with the American public than riot and arson. But there were Just a couple of men of horn the engineers then selves were fear ful would involve them in eriou trou ble. These were one Hughe, an engineer, and his fireman men feaiies and thor oughly capable at their work, but men who would top at nothing to accomplish a mean revenge when they considered themselves imposed upon or injured. One evening the fast train, known on the Groat Occidental as the Pacific Mail, rolled out of Prairie City on its way to the far West At Prairie City wa at tached to the train engine No. 1), manned by the very men who were so much mistrusted by both officers and em ployes. Nothing particular, however, was thought of this fact. They were closely watched in the round houses snd yards. When they were in the cab it was tolera bly certain they could do no mischief, be cause any peril to which they exposed the train snd passenger must, of necessity, include themselves. When the mail left Prairie City she was scheduled to run a hundred and fifteen miles aeros the plains without a stop. the time allowed being teree hour and ten minutes. Along thi entire distance there were absolutely no town or cities aud very few settlements of any kind, and as the train held the right of way there was no necessity whatever for stopping or even "slowing up." ' The sun had just set, but the crimson glory of his setting still spread a rich fiery light across the plains, which enabled a strikingly handsome man in the parlor car to continue the perusal of his book. He was the general manager of the Great Occidental, and to him approached one of the train men, who resiectful!y said: "You know who are on the engine, sir?" "Yes. Whatofitr "We are slowing perhaps you hardly noticed it yet. There is do station, no telegraph cabin nor any water tank near here; there i not even an up grade. I have good reasons for suspecting mischief, though just what shape it will take 1 have no idea. The conductor i on the rear platform keeping his eyes open, but that isn't enough the trouble will be in front." the hrakeman paused, as if for some eniTOiragement, and the official, who had ilosed hi book, shuffled his foot impa tiently. "Go ahead with your story." he said "It will soon be dark. What is it what next?" "The boy on the road understand you to be a fearless man; if that is so, follow me. Have you got a revolver and load ed r "Yes." "Good: you may need it. Are you i safe shot?" "I think not." "Then give me your weapon. For i short time try to forget that you are run ning this road, and obey my orders." The beskeman took the official's pistol and led the way through the train until they stood upon the front platform of the forward coach the. baggage car. "I suppose," said the train aian. "you are perfectly willing that we should at all hazards preserve thi train from de struction and get her through to Big Creek in safety?" "Of course yes." "Then climb quietly on to the locomo tive with me, and be prepared fur mis chief." The train was now running at a rate of not more than fifteen miles an hour, so that the two men managed to hoist them selves on to the tender of the locomotive witb comparative ease. As they crawled over the stacks of coal and firewood, b.rth master aud man took in the situation at a glance. The engineer was at that in stant turuing on a full head of steam, the fireman was closing the door of the fur nace which he had just filled up with coal, and both were preparing to desert the en gine. As the two men lay stretched at the too of the tender, the brakeman motioned to the general ma-nager to keep very still. ' The fireman made a move to get down from the left-hand side of the engine. "Come!" i shouted the brakeman, and quick as, a flash rushed for the fireman, helping that culprit to the track by a heavy blow. Almost in the same instant he turned to the engineer, who, though not so far advanced in his movements a the fireman, was preparing to descend the steps on the right-hand side of the engine. Placing the revolver close to the rene gade engineer's ear, be shouted: "(Jet back there and do your work. Attend to anything beside your business and you'll smell gunpowder! And if thi train is not at tig Creek on time I will see that we have a lynching exhibition in the yard. You need not take your hand off the lever, for I have brought you a fireman the general manager. He will watch the fire while I watch you." The engineer was completely cowed. aud the Pacific Mail, thus saved from a fearful destruction, rolled into Big Creek on schedule time. Engineer Hughe wa promptly dis charged with a warning and some advice, but he wa afterwards arrested, and then the general manager turned to the brake man. "My boy," he said, "yon have rendered a great service to the company, and es pecially to the passengers on this train. e must do something for yon." Thank you, sir," was the reply. "Home day I may think of something that you can do for me, and if so, I will come to yon. Just at present I prefer to keep quietly at my own work, and I shall like it better if nothing at all i said to the passengers." "Your name, at lest?" "Yes my name is Richard, Henry Richards." Whereat the two shook hands and part ed. ihe next morning General Manager Hand ford was handed a small package addressed to himself, and upon opening it, be found a letter, inside of which was a smaller package, nnaddressed. He read the letter, which displayed the handwrit ing and style of an educated man; "Sir Yesterday, with yonr assistance, I was enabled to render soma slight ser vice to your company will you now do something for me? "Kailioadiog is a risky business, espe cially on the plains. If death ever over takes me (and you sre in a position to know if It should) will yon please break the seal of the enclosed psckage and band the content to the person to whom they srr sddtvssed? When you do so (if ever perhaps you will tell that ame person what yoa know about me. I have proof ttt yoa are a brave man; I think you are a good and geneirnu man, and I hope you will undertake thi small commission for me. Please part wirn the package to no one but the person to whom it is ad dressed snd under no other circumstances than those which I have stated. You can return it to me if yno tire of the trust. "Respectfullv yours. HENRY RICHARDS. "Brakeman.' Mr. Handford thought thi a queer oc currence, but, remembering hi offer and promise of the previous evening, he pock eted the package and proceeded on bi way. CHAPTER III. Chicago! The man who has traveled everywhere except to Chicago has failed to see the world; while he who is familiar only with the great Western city has seen a very large slice of the world. One the grandest and one of the wretchedest one of the best and one nf the wickedest cities of the universe. A combination of London. rri. New York nd San Fran Cisco, revivified by the bli7.rds of th northern prairies snd refreshed by th blue waters of Iske Michigan: whose whirl and excitement fascinate alike the blue-nosed Scandinavian and the sluggish Mexii-sn the phlegmatic Briton and the hopeful American. The city whose streets ring with the incessant clatter of nearly two million feet, hearing hither and thith er men and women whose constant flittinz. like figures in s kaleidoscope, mark sn ever-changing scene. The city where the night lamps, like (rod' great sun. shine upon the evil and upon the good, where, upon the broad sidewalks, publicans snd sinners jostle Pharisees and priests, while Dives brushes up against Lsr.anis; the city where, after all. there is far more of good than of evil ( 'hirago. It is not surprising that a man of the disposition, habits and teniersment of Max Brett should drift to Chicago. In deed, he had made his headquarters there more than once, but as. up to the time we saw him in Rosedale, he had never been compelled to work very bard or very steadily for a living, he had hitherto been a wanderer from choice. But in October, a month or two after the Rosedale murder, Max Brett was lo cated in Chicago, and was actually earn ing a fair living as s clerk in the office of William Rose & Company, extensive dealers in oil. The Western Babylon, with its babel of voices snd maelstrom of excitement, possessed every attraction for Brett. Of a nervous, restless tempera ment, not unmixed with a happy-go-lucky and easily contented disjKisition. he al ways found a residence in small towns and frontier settlements dull and weari some. Even in Chicago, where his daily work in the office of the oil warehouse; was laborious and nf a responsible nature, he frequently felt disposed to complain ! of a lack of mental exercise," as he termed monotony and hum-drum employ ment; bnt, on the whole, he was consented. Away from the office and outside of busi ness hours. Mr. Brett took life remarka bly easy, lie rented suite of rooms in a flat in one of the mammoth tenement house located in a fashionable quarter of the city. and. falling back on the rem nant of his Rosedale mining funds, had them elegantly furnished. Then be made friends with bis landlady by presenting her with two or three tickets for the the ater, and, having provided himself with headquarters and a useful friend, he straightway prepared to enjoy himself and his surroundings. Most of his even ing he spent at the theaters and places of amusement, and, like most voung fel lows, speedily formed a wide acquaint ance among "all sorts and conditions of men." But Brett iHissessed sufficient worldly wisdom to keep these easily-made ac quaintances at arms' length, and never encouraged too willing friendships. Mix did not care very much what thev or anv- Issly else thought of him; he just went his own pace, serenely indifferent to the smiles or frowns of onlookers, and if Max had a "past history," or hid within his own heart any dark secret, nobody could guess of either fact from his bright face and nonchalant manner. (To be continued.) .Necessitates a Big Outlay. The total length of the common roads In this country, good, bad and Indifferent, Ik estimated by General Stone of the road bureau of the depart ment of agriculture at something over liKi,(KiO miles. The majority of these roads have been opened by common la borers, hired by-local supervisors, and no engineering principles have been observed in their construction. As a result, It costs more to keep thPin In repair than If they were as ninny fine ly macadamized roads. Keeping these poor roads In repair and opening new thoroughfares cost MasKa,(-'hu setts In 18:3, onuide of cit ies, ?U'M',!J44. or m:M) per mile, and New Jersey I778.407.S2, or $4.'!.-3 per mile. The total expenditure for roads In that year amounted to about Jf.fi,- 000,(o. As a great part of tba enor mous sum was sent in repairing poor ly constructed roads, that would need exactly the same atten'lon next year, It Is not an exaggeration to gay that most of the money was wasted. Fine roads can lie constructed all the way from $4l0 to fcW jier mile, according to the nature of ihe coun try through which they pass, the cost of crushed stone and other engineering problems. The cost of keeping theso roads In repair Is Infinitely smaller than that required to repair the or dinary dirt roads each winter and spring, when great frulleys and ruts are washed Into them by the rains and floods. The secret of the success of ihe fine roads In France Is attribute 1 to the prompt and systematic repairs; made at all seasons of the year. First debutante My cheeks are alt oo tire.

THE shilly-shallying young man Is destined to ostracism In Kansas If the somewhat startling scheme of an Atchison girl is put Into practice. The youug woman In question has giv en long and laborious thought to the present system of courting, and the re sult of her deliberation la a conviction that reform radical reform Is neces sary. She is at present enga ged In writ ing a book designed to overturn the present state of affairs so far as this particular matter la concerned, and, as Is fitting In a Kansas notion, ber plan of revolution is something calculated to take one's breath awny. Her con tention Is that under the present sys tem when a youug uiau goes to ace a girl she cannot tell whether lie menus business or is just amusing himself. What she wants to do Is to have an un derstanding that If a young man goes to see a girl a certain number of time It Is to constitute an engagement, and she advocates having the 1,-cglslature pass a law making the young man lia ble to a damage suit If he breaks away- after going the specific number of times. She proposes that the Legisla ture authorize the printing of blanks. or coupons, which every girl must keep at her bouse, and whenever a young man calls he must sign bis name to one of them. When she has, say, ten signa tures of one young man to ten different couxns she can consider lierscir en gaged to him, and she can recover diim ages If he refuses to (Jo the right thing. If a girl Is willing to allow a young mna to come and see her more tliau the num ber of times required by law and not consider It an engagement she must sign a release relieving him of all lia bility.

Bhlrt Waists. Shirt waists are not only pretty but they are couvenieut. If women can not afford to have them built at a fashionable haberdasher's they can be made at home after a good pattern. They should be mnde with but little fullness In the back having only a few gathers at the waist line. Cut the yoke with a slight point. Gather the full ness of the front widths Into the neck lustend of Into the shoulders. I)o not THE LATEST SHIRT WAIST. spread the fullness along the belt, but leave at least two inches plain before reaching the under arm seam. The sleeves should be after the bishop model and gathered Into a narrow cuff. Nothing look cooler than a wash-silk waist. They are made with more full ness, both In the front and In the back, with a box plait down the front to cover the buttons. The sloeves are full and set Into a band cuff. The prettiest finish for the neck is the full, wrinkled collar. Such a waist can also be worn with the linen collar and cuffs. Batiste shirt waists are all the rage. Nothing makes a smarter tennis or outing cos tume than white cotton or linen duck. Cull and Card Account Honk. It U much the bent way to keep a book account for calls; that Is, have a man hook vnereiu to wru tuc name and address of all calling acquaint ances. Farther on In the book write "Calls Made," and underneath put down the name and date. Still farther on make another list of "Calls Re ceived," with names and dates. It Is then very eaiv to see when you called on a certain lady and when she re turned It. The hours for calling vary In different cities; from 4 until ft Is the appointed time In New York, but In smaller cities It will be perfectly proper to begin at 3 o'clock, especially If one baa a long list.
