cur. A strange elation took possession
of him. She was hero. Ho thought of
last night and seemed to walk on air.
If he won out maybe but , fool that
ho was ! what was there In this rough
land for a girl llko Louise ?
"Oh , no , that will bo too much
trouble , " gasped Louise , in some alarm
and thinking of Aunt Helen.
"Thanks , old man , we'll stay1 spoke
up Langford , cheerfully. "Ho makes
excellent tea really. 1'vo tried it be
fore. You will never regret staying. "
Silently ho watched his friend In the
Inner room bring out a battered tea
kettle , fill it with a steady hand and
put it on the stove In the office , com
ing and going carelessly , seemingly
conscious of nothing In the world but
the comfort of his unexpected guests.
True to her sex , Louise was curious-
rangoments of a genuine bachelor es
tablishment. Woman-like , she saw
many things In the short time she was
there but nothing that diminished
| (
[ i . her respect for Richard Gordon.
The bed in the Inner chamber whore
both men slppt was disarranged but
clean. Wearing apparel was strewn
over the chairs and tables. There was
a litter of magazines on the lloor. She
laid them up against Langford ; she
did not think Gordon had the time or
Inclination to cultivate the magazine
habit. She did not know to whose
weakness to ascribe the tobacco pouch
and brier-wood pipe placed Invitingly
by the side of a pair of gay , elaborate
ly bead-embroidered moccasins , cozlly
stowed away under the head of the
bed ; but she was rather Inclined to
' lay these , too , to Langford's charge.
The howling tempest outside only
served to enhance the cozlnoss of the
rumbling flro and the closely drawn
blinds.
But tea was nover'served In those
" bachelor rooms that night neither
that night nor1 over again. It was a
little dream that wont up In llamo
with the walls that harbored it. , Who
first became conscious that the tang
of smoke -was gradually filling tholi
nostrils , It was hard to toll. They
were not far behind each other in that
consciousness. It was Langford who
discovered that the trouble was a
the rear , where the wind would sooi
have the whole building fanned into
flames. Gordon unlocked the dooi
quietly. Ho said nothing. But Paul
springing in front of him , himsol
throw It open. It was no new dodge
this burning a man out to shoot bin
as ono would drown out a gopher fo
the killing. Ho need not have beci
afraid. The alarm had spread. The
street In front was rapidly filling
Ono would hardly have darctj to shoo
then If ono had meant to. And h
did not know. Ho only knew tha
deviltry had b9en In the air for Gor
don. that night Ho had suspcctei
more than .he had overheard , but 1
had been In the air.
Gordon uaw the action nnd under
, stood It. Ho never forgot it. H
said nothing , but gave his friend ai
illuminating smllo that Langford uu
derstood. Neither over spoke of II
neither over fprgot ft. How tlghtlj
can quick.Impulses bind forever.
Outside , they encountered the judg
Jn search of his delinquent qharges.
"I'm sorry , Dick , " ho said. "Dead los
my hoy. This bcasUy wind is you

"I'm not-'worrying , Judge/ ' respond

Nothing else mattered much to Gor

and Jim gallantly tossed out every

Gordon prdercd everybody out for
good and all. It was no longer safe to

out. Ho carried a battered little tea
kettle In hlH hand. Ho looked at it In
a whimsical surprise as If ho had not
known Until 'then that ha had it In his
hand. Obeying a sudden Impulse , ho
held it out to Louise.
"Pk'uso tuko care of my poor little

Men knew of Richard Gordon that
light that he was a marked man. The

Could any ono say , "Jesse Black has
ilono this thing ? " Would ho not bring
down proof of guilt by a retaliation
struck too soon ? It would seem as if
: io were anticipating an unfavorable
verdict. So men reasoned. And even
.hen they did not arlsq to stamp out
the evil that had endured and hugged
tself nnd spit out corruption in the
: attlo country. That was reserved for
another.
They talked of a match thrown
down at the court-house by a tramp ,
likely when It was past midnight ,
\Yhen the lire broke out with the wind
a piercing gale , and when no vagrant
but had long since left such cold com
fort and had slept these many weeks
in sunnier climes. Some argued that
the windows of the court-room might
have been left open and thp stove
blown down by the wind tearing
through , or the stove door might iavo
blown open and remains of the flro
been blown out , or the pipe might
have fallen down. But It was a little ,
odd that the same people said Dick
Gordon's office likely caught fire from
flying sparks. Dick's olllce was two.
blocks to westward of the court-house
and it would have been a brave spark
and a lively on that could have made
headway against 'that ' northwester.
CHAPTER XIX.
The Escape.
The little county seat awoke In the
morning to a strange sight. The
storm had not abated. The wind was
still blowing at blizzard rate off the
northwest hills , and Hue , Icy snow was
swirling so thickly through the cold
air that vision was obstructed. BuildIng -
Ing were distinguishable only as shad
ows showing faintly through a heavy
white veil. The thermometer had gone
many degrees below the zero mark. It
was steadily growing colder. The old
er Inhabitants said It would surely
break the record the coming night.
An immense flro hud been built In
the sitting-room. Thither Mary and
Louisa repaired. Hero they were
Joined by Dale , Langford and Gordon
"You should bu out at the rancli
looking after your poor cattle , Mr
Longford , " said Mary , smilingly. She
could bo light-hearted now since a lit
tie secret had been whispered to hei
lust night at a tea party whore nc
tea had been drunk. Langford h'ai
gravitated toward her au naturallj
as steel to a magnet , Ho shrugged hii
big shoulders ami laughed a little.
"Tho Scrlbo will do everything thi : :
can bo done. Honest , now , did yoi
think this trial could bo pulled of
without me ? "
"But there can be no trial to-day. '
"Why not ? "
"Did I dream the court-house burnct
last night ? "
"If you did , we nro all drenmcn
alike. "
"Then how can yon hold court ? "
"Wo have gene back to the tlmi
when church and otato were ono aw
Inseparable , and court convenes at K
o'clock sharp in the meeting-house , "
he mild ,
Louise was looking while nnd mis
erable.
"You nro not contemplating running
away , are you ? " asked Gordon. "This
IH unusual weather really. "
She looked at him with a pitiful
smile.
"I should like to bo strong and
bravo and enduring and capable-Mike
Mary. You don't ' bollovo it , do you ?
H'H true , though. But 1 can't. I'm
weak and homesick and cold. I ought
not to have come. I am not the kind.
You said it , you know. I urn going
homo just ns soon as this court is
over. I mean it. "
There was no mistaking that. Gor
don bowed his head. Ills face waa
white. It had como sooner than ho
hud thought.
All the records of the work ycotor-
day had been burned. There wan noth
ing to do but begin at the beginning
again. It was discouraging , uninter
esting. But it had to be done. Dale
refused positively to adjourn. The
jurymen were all here. So the little
frame church was bargained for. If
the fire-bugs had thought to postpone
events to gain time by last night's
work , they would find themselves very
greatly mistaken. The church was
long and narrow llko a country schoolhouse -
house , and rather roomy considering
the slzo of the town. It hud precise
windows also like a country schoolhouse -
house four on the west side , through
which the line snow was drifting , four
opposite. 'The storm kept few at
homo with , the exception of the people
from across the river. There were
enough staying in the town to fill the
room to its utmost limits. Standing
room was at a premium. The entry
was crowded. Men not able to get In
ploughed back through the cutting
wind and snow only to return present
ly to see If the situation had changed
nny during their brief absence. So
all the work of yesterday was gene
over again.
So close was the pack of people that
the flro roaring in the big steve in the
middle of the room was allowed to
sink in smouldering quiet. The heavy
air had been unbearable else. The
snow that had been brought in on
tramping feet lay in little melted
pools on the rough flooring. Men for
got to cat peanuts and women forgot
to chow their gum except one or two
extremely nervous ones whoso Jaws
moved the faster under the stimulus
of hysteria. Jesse Black was telling
his story.
"Along toward the 1st of last July ,
I took a hike out into the Indian coun

EMPLOYES ASK FOR HEARING

Employes Ask a Hearing.
Jlallroad employes nro pressing fern

commission for the purpose of protest
ing against'an Increase in rates , and
they make no secret of their claim that
they represent a considerable number
of voters , P. M. Ryan , a Burlington
engineer living I Lincoln , represent
ing the Nebraska Railway Employes'
association , not only asks for n hear
ing for his association , but a hearing
for the employes of each system of
railroad In the state. The commission
lias set no date for a hearing , but
long ago informed the employes tha ,
they would be given a hearing before
any action is taken on rates. Mr.
Ryans letter to the railway commis
sions is as follows :
"Enclosed you will find a request for
a hearing from a committee of the
Nebraska Railway Employes's Protect
ive association. This committee is
acting in connection with the executive
committee of employes of several sys-
tes , who have requested your honor
able body for a hearing and if con-
venicnt would like to have you arrange
the hearing of the system committees
consecutively and that of the employes'
association last ; also wo would appre
ciate as early a hearing as possible ,
for the reason that there are quite a
body of voters represented In all these
requests and from some points the

commission can recall a circumstance

this spirit to continue , and in the In

these hearings of railroad me"n be
brought on as soon as convenient. "

SUPERIOR MEN COMPLAIN.
Insist Beatrice Has a Better Rate
Than They on Grain.
Elevator and grain men of Superior
leld a > conference with the railway
commission and presented an Informal
complaint against the Burlington road
pn account of a charge of from 1 to 2
cents per hundred for the privilege of
rebllllng grain after It had been
milled. They allege that other towns
get a milling In transit privilege for
nothing. The town of Beatrice Is said
to have this privilege , and Superior
men say Beatrice draws Indirectly
from their territory. The railroad
company hauls grain from the vicinity
of Superior to Beatrice , and the grain
Is later shipped ( o northwestern Ne
braska. The complainants desire to
bo put on an equality with Beatrice.
The road Is obliged to haul grain three
times as far w.hen It takes It to "Do-
atrlce. The complainants are C. 13.

Trains Discontinued.
Senator C. A. Randall of Madison
county , whoso homo Is at Newman
Grove , has filed a formal complaint
with the railway commission alleging
that the Northwestern road has with
out cause taken off two trains much
to the Inconvenience of the people.
Mr. Randall Is a farmer and a banker.
Newman Grove has a population of
$1,000. For four years it has had
dally train service but on April 25 the
Northwestern took off the train that
ran Saturdays from Oakdalo to Fre
mont and the train that ran Sundays
from Fremont to Oakdalo , through
Newman Grovn. The Saturday train
is a mixed train and carried mail , pas
sengers and freight. The Sunday train
carried freight and mail from Oakdale
to Fremont and passengers from Oak
dale to Humphrey and stopped at
Newman Grove.
Senator Randall alleges that these
trains wore taken off without just
cause or reason and In disregard ot
the Interests of the people and with
out the consent of the railway commis
sion. Ho says the Northwestern rail
way company can furnish facilities for
carrying passengers on these trains
without unnecessary expense. The
railway commission will set a date for
a hearing ,
The Paramount Question.
The exact amount of revenue ro-
colvcd by the various railroads in the
territory west of the Klnkald line In
Nebraska is just now occupying the
attontlon of Chairman WInnott of the
state railway commission. Ho wants
to find out just how much the rail
roads would lose If rates are reduced
to what seems reasonable in-the east
ern part of the stato. The'rallroada
insist that a reduction of rates in Nebraska -
braska would bo most unfair , as their
rovonnes in the western part of the
tate amount to little or nothing ,

The
General 'Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple , pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value ; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts arc known to them to bo
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect ,
acceptable to the system and gentle , yet
prompt , in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna , the California Fig Svrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
\
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. , only , and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
