In stantly Esther's mind flew back to the desert station, the overland journey, the scene on the hillside, to many lesser visions of him. even to her last meeting at Judge Harmon's. Always the same aversion to him. the same wonder that the company trusted him. “Yes, stealin’. They gave him a pas senger out of Sacramento. an' he didn't run it three weeks till they caught him. The boys say there's something back of that. too. an' it'll go hard with him. Pore devil! He was bright 'nough fur meanness; pity he couldn't a' tried be in' white. Come on. I got to go to the kitchen." Here again reigned Yic Wah. the im perturbable. ' Do you like it here?” Esther asked him. He grinned. “You bettee! Heap good. One dollah man out here; no two bittee man. Heap plenty loom. Y*ou likee say 'damn.' all light. No matter.” "Y’ic got converted down in Oak land," Sally B. said when out of his hearing. "It'll give ye a crick in yer side to hear him singin’ 'sams. He's the best hollerer Charley Crocker's got. McLane's cornin' through to-night. The beys has stuffed Y'ic with a lot about Mac. told him Mac's gein' to do up Crocker's railroad; and I'm power ful ’fraid Yic'll sass Mac." There was a trifle of worry in Sally B.'s laugh. "How can he hinder our company now?” "He cain't hinder 'em. but he kin pes ter ’em a heap, him an' the gang he's actin' fur. He ain’t any wuss n the rest, only smarter. He's on his way home from Washington and New York now. Been tryin’ to fix congress agin. I'll lay. But I bet Collis P. beats him! I bet on Collis P. every time. Read this;" She tumbled over a pile of papers, found a recent copy of the Clarion and pointed out a short tele graphic dispatch. "Read it aloud, honey. I like to listen when our fellers spouts at the government powwow.” It was an appeal from Mr. Hunting ton to Andrew Johnson, as the head of the outgoing administration, on behalf of the Central Pacific railroad. “Likely it's ter spike that gun, that Mac's been east. The boys says so. But I bet on Collis P. all the same. Ding that Clarion!” she continued, whipping from one topic to another with astonishing suddenness. ' They're cluckin' to the U. P.'s now to pass us and come on to Californy; an' howlin' about pusbin' the Southern Pacific to bust the C. P. If I was Gov. Stanford I’d mortgage my chance o' heaven, maybe a little bit o’ the other place, but what I'd git holt o’ that Southern Pacific.” 'What is the Southern Pacific ex pecting to do?” "Build across the continent and have a competin' line.” ; at? Two railroads? Surely, one will be enough." “If them four git a holt of it. they'll put it acrost all right. One line? They'll be half a dozen some day. An' you be| the C. P.'s won't let nobc-iy git the start of them if they only git a fair show.” The strange town stirred Esther's ; imagination. Like a flock of vagrant, ugly birds, the shacks and flimsy wooden houses squatted on the inhos pitable mountain top or huddled be side the brawling stream. The most pretentious places were saloons. A very long tent caught Esther's eye. “That's the dancehouse,” Sally B. j said. "They've got an extra big troupe of hurdy-gurdies in now—there’s the | place where they sleep just to the left there. Sufferin' ears! They make a racket at night, they an’ the .men. Ain't nothin’ so bad's you might think 'bout them girls, though. Most of 'em comes from furrin parts, where their job ain't considered disrespectable.” All in the town carried arms, and there were occasional brawls; yet no stranger was molested who did not. first molest. Night draw cn. and the sleepy town awoke. Wood teams from the mountain chopping camps rattled In. The clatter of animals feeding, human and otherwise, stirred the air. The evening train whistled in from the west, with mail, passengers, a few workmen, much forage and supplies. "CoU;s P.'s done the job!" cried the first trainman ro enter the hotel. "His little cams’ o' talk with the president won the tin. The bonds are issued!" "When was it ?" asked Sally B., ex citedly. "Oh, weeks ago. probably. It was done ‘fore Andy Johnson went out of the White House, anyway." "How much bonds?" "Two million four hundred thou sand." the man said, rolling out the words slowly and respectfully. A small sum enough for eyes that read today. Vet to a railroad of the present, forty millions could not mean more than that sum meant to the struggling Central Pacific. The train came in from the Front, a j ict of empty cars bumping over un settled track. To-night came Louis Me Lane, a distinguished-looking gen tleman : yet great man as he was. and earnestly as Saliy B. tried to make him comfortable, ether matters over shadowed him. "Their. U. P. fellers laid seven and a half miles of track the other day." The story ran from !ip to lip. "Huh! I bet a game rooster George Gregory’ll beat that when the iron "Drop That Gun, Pardner!” comes. It's on the way now. they say." Sally B. looked challenging’}' about. Waiting at table did not prevent her keeping up with all the railroad news, it rather aided her in doing so: and her comments were a sort of daily oral editorial that most of her patrons be lieved in. and all enjoyed. "The U. P.'s discharged 12 engi neers 'cause they wouldn't run at night." another loquacious diner re marked. “Don't wonder they refused," a man from the east replied. "The grades are ticklish; the track ain't half fin ished. to say nothin' o' being settled; and the Injuns are raisin' Cain in triplets." "That's the way it's been all the time over on the U. P.," a second stranger added. "Workmen never have had the proper protection. I was on the Denver line, and the chief of con struction telegraphed for more force, saying. 'I have to fight while I dig.' But the company didn't help him out. Why. we had ten Injun fights in ten weeks. From one to seven white men killed every time. It wasn't fun. you can bet!” Esther was In the dining room and heard. The dreadful day at. the stage station came to her. Across the way violins began to twang. arousiEg Esther from her reverie. The caller's voice came clear, and the low, seduc tive rumble of dancing feet. One by one the men finished eating and went out. The voice of the town called louder and louder. Es'her wondered, were she a man, if the calls would seem hideous as now: or would she, in the very joy of masculine freedom, look around, join the fringe of the curious onlookers, be caught by the j siren, Temptation, and drawn into the human vortex, carried down— '■ down! Of all the guc its, Mr. McLane alone was left. He ate slowly in dignified silence, pried upon intermittently by Tie Wah. The wheedling voice of the town had no fascination for Mr. Mc Lane. He went at once to his room, j attended by Sally B. Then the two women chatted a V tie longer, when Esther, still tirp; from her night spent sitting up in the car, went to her bed. But not to sleep. Unhindered by tent walls the dr e of the fiddles came in at her o. window; and the j clink of glasses, the rhythmic beat of many feet, the voices of the dancing girls between sets. How had she shown thankfulness for the boon of health, of friends, training, wealth— all that was between her and these poor girls? Had she not wasted her days in idle longing? Among even the noisy dancers yonder might there not ( be some one better, according to her miserable opportunity, than she her self had been with her wider chance? It should be so no longer! When the last tie was laid she would return to her home, her city. She would cease her foolish waiting for Alfred; and somehow, wherever the way opened, she would work for those less fortu nate than herself, would put herself on record for the better side of life. A peace long unknown stole over her; and she slept tranquilly. CHAPTER XXX. The Stroke of the Fang. The days ran happily by for Esther, so far as she remained in her own lit tie world. It was a joy to be with I'ncle Billy a short late hour every ether night when his train was in and , his reports made; a joy to Know that j her presence comforted Sally R , whose : heart, despite her busy life, longed for i her only child, and grieved for the j older child who dogged her footsteps, did her errands, followed her with meek, trusrful eyes. The spell of the desert, and her ever deferred hope of ! seeing Alfred, still held Esther. Gid j dern was in the town, though he kept i out of Esther's way. Sally B. met him ! abruptly one day. forced a kind word ! upon him and asked him of his stay; j but he evaded her with a half-coherent reply about seeing the railroad through. She mentally substituted Esther for the railroad, knowing it , was for chance glimpses of her ne , bung around the town. ! The grading was finished. Engi neers, their occupation gone, had al ready started for new barrens to meas ure. Bridge builders followed. Men of the pickax and shovel, drillers, '• strikers, teamsters, Chinese, cooks, j i scullions, camp-movers—a long pro cession faced westward toward “Cali | forny. God's country.” It was the morning before Georgej 1 Gregory’s great day. the day be was to ] j outdo the Union Pacific feat of laying i seven and a half miles of track a: one | stretch. He had chosen the flat ! spaces eastward by Kelton. where the ' grade was easy, culverts and bridges few. Everything was in readiness. The iron was coming—on the road— due at the Front that afternoon. All along the line betting ran high. In terest and excitement pervaded town, camp and home; touched even women j and children. I The supply train backed, switched, loaded freight brought in the night be fore; yet did not pull out for the Front as usual, but side-tracked and waited. The iron was coming! It was due at noon. Hotel patrons had eaten and gene. Bill Bernard was out on an errand; and the house was deserted save for the cook and scullion, and the two women at their late breakfast. The sun bad not yet thawed the frost of the uight when a shot rang out from Sally B.'s barroom. She caught her pistol from some near nook and rushed out, Esther fly ing after her. "Go back, child!" Sally B. said stern ly. from the doorway. “Not unless you go." Esther re turned in a voice as firm. "Toiler still, then." the other whis pered, seeing opposition useless; and they entered the barroom noiselessly. A man with beetling brows and fierce, resentful eyes stood with his back to them, holding a big revolver somewhat unsteadily over Shack New begin. whose hands were high in air. The intruder's clothes were soiled, his bocts dusty and cut from muth walk ing over rock. Notwithstanding his vicious, threatening aftirude, his body drnoi ed as from intense fatigue. He did not hear the women; and his savage, low-spoken command showed him dangerously sure of himself. "Give me ten dollars out of that till. Do it quick, and keep stili. And don't try shooting next time wh n a man asks you for money: you might get your wooden overcoat sooner'u you’d like. Hurry up, there!" Drop that gun. pardner!" Sally B. said quietly. She haa waned barely a breath on the threshold, yet Esther had smelled burned powder, seen Shack's pistol on the floor, his dishevelled hair and the bullet hole in the marauder's hat. Shack had had the first shot. How had the other mastered the situation? The man wheeled, with blazing eyes, to meet Sally B.'s pistol barrel almost at his head. His own weapon, uneon sciously lowered, left him helpless though he made a slight motion as il to lift it. "Drop it. I say! Let go!" Her re volver touched his temple, and her black eyes blazed a message that com pelled obedience. £le returned her look for an instant, lowered his eyes sullenly, glanced covertly about, and, stooping, laid the pistol on the floor. "Now, git inter that cheer!" Again he looked at her resentfully; but only for a breath, when he bent stiffly, and dropped heavily down. "Tie him. Shack, to the cheer: an' his hands behind him, an' his feet to gether. How'd he git the drop on ye? 1 see ye got the first shot.” "Yes. But I reckoned he was only a drunk, an' wasn't lookin' fur him to fight. I only shot to skeer; but he jumped me like greased lightenin'.“ He looks holler; I 'low* grub ain't ben plenty. Had anything to eat late ly?" she asked her prisoner. He shook his head sulkily. "I thought so. Watch him. Shack," she ordered, and after the tying was done to her satisfaction, the two wom en went out. They returned shortly. Saily B. with a generous breakfast; Esther, who re fused to let her come alone, carrying the coffee. They arranged the food on a chair, and Sally B. took up her re volver again. "Untie his hands. Shack.” "You're the beatin'est," Shaek be gan, obeying her order reluctantly, "to go an' feed a man that's tried to rob ye." "No matter. He's hungry. I wouldn't turn a hungry dog off without a bone. Get to work, now-." she said gruffly to the bandit. "An' while yo’re busy, tell what you wanted of ten dol lars. Why didn't ye ask fur the hull till?” "Because I wanted to be white an' take only enough to get out of the country with." Esther thought his face softened a trifle. “Why don't ye work for it? The Boss wants choppers; an' everybody's flyin' west like ole Nick was after ’em." "That's my business. I want to leave the country, not chop wood." The sul len look deepened. "If yo're that partic'lar, you git that grub out o' sight, an' git! I earn my money workin'. an' you can vourn." He scowled at her; and no one saw the gleam in his wicked eye as he caught the flash from Esther's soli taire. It was the only ornament of value she wore in this rude place. She had bought it for protection, and it had served its purpose well. Most people supposed it an engagement ring, a supposition she tacitly encouraged. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Laughter foot Always Good Evidences of Merriment Sometimes by No Mesns Satisfying. “Of course, you have heard," said the man with a sensitive ear. “a laugh that jarred. I don't mean," he con tinued. “so much a laugh at an inop portune time—I imagine we have all heard such laughs—as a laugh the quality of which is unpleasant. There is something contagious in laughter of the right kind, even though you may he the object of it. It bubbles front the well of good humor; there is no hidden thought, or arriere pensee,’ as the French say, behind it. It is the essence of frankness; it is spontane ous and whoiesouled, and it cleanses the system of the laugh ;r, and, too. of the !.oarer. like a spiritual bath. ■Tint there are other kinds of laugh ,er. The sneering laugh is perhaps the most familiar. Then there is a quiet laugh—a sibilant secretive sort of laugh that is quite as certain to mean mischief. Another laugh, dis agreeable in its nature, is the high pitched, nervous cachination that comes either from embarrassment cr is a mere vocal ha' The worst iaccb of all. however, io my mind, ij that mirthless sound > : ovoked by the distress or embarrass nt of others, and it rasps, natural. most of all, the object calling it f . h.

"Sometimes ladies thank me when I give up my seat to tb°m," the young \ man said, and somet.mes they do not, and then occasionally something unusual happens. This morning when I gave up my seat to a lady 3be thanked me effusively. “'Thank you very much,’ she said; "very acceptable. I assume you.’ This speech attracted the attention of all around, and really 1 thick I would prefer not to be thanked at all rather than to be thanked so generously. “If it would be polite for me to in dicate just how I’d like to be thanked for giving up my seat 1 should say that just a little smile w.th a slight inclination of the head, wt aid he the acknowledgment that would please me j best of all." * ' . —1 ' VISITS WITH1 ®W€LBBY On tre Wir.g.
