without even troubling himself TO mako any

John Proctor looked after him with quiz

own name would be- tho tonst of drunken
crowd u loafcrs In the saloon around the cor

kind 10 bc uro u wouldn't help 10 advance
u certain QuiNotic reputation which had Mt
tached itself 10 him since his first advent
In this little now Mexican town But he had
steadily adhered 30 his creed Granted that

Arrived at the park, strip Of land run
ring through the heart u the place, tho title
20 which was In dispute botwuon The railroad
company. n handful of determined squntters,
and the government, John brought down the
wire fence this noon with one vigorous kick
Kicking down this wire fonco was ono
OF tho legitimate postimcs Of the in.
hnbitnnts. who could not afford to mike n do
tour Of milo or more 10 reach their places
Of business, nor yet hazard garments by
scaling H. These encronchmcnts ON the part
Of the citigcns had once been resisted with
wnfliko demonstrations, but now as Proctor
stepped through the gap, patient looking
round -shouldorod little man advanced, ytrun
ding wheclharrow laden with a huge col
ofbarb wire, and, politely greeting the tres
passer, set apout repairing the fence. Par.
sous was IN the employ Of the road and
scrupulously oboyed his Instructions, but d
CLEAN Of humor in his eye told that he sym
pathizcd with the trnnagrrssnrs
As John Proctor took his way dow
through the park in the direction Of his OF
flee, he seemed 10 throw OIL the unpleasant
reflections which had been annoying him
with one shrig Of his powerful shoulders
Tho young mans eyes fell chnerily upon tn,
somewhat incougruous array of building
which constituted the Town. He gloriod h
tho homoly little editiccS, squatting over tn,
ground In various directions Had not every
foot of lumber been supplied from his own
yard, and did not this avalanche of trad
menu--Annie Nothing could be mean o.
poor which brought these weary years Of
waiting 10 an end He was "A prac
tical man. little given to enthusiasm
of any sort, but FOR her sake he locke,
with glowing vision upon the turreted noun
tain tops In tho distance, with their purpl
shadows and golden lights How she woult
rejoice over them, that quiet little donizen o
western proiries who had lived among tn
monotonous levels of central Illinois all he
life.
The thought lent cheerful energy to hi
voice rs he entered the yard and gave som
directions 10 Maxon his hard-worked book
keeper and general factotum Proctor wa
deeply engrossed In making out an order 10
several carloads of finishing lumber when
shadow darkenod the door, and the tram
stood before him. He could not repress a
exclamation OF surprise The vagabond oil
himself dehantly.
"Yes, I've come, he said what are yo
going TO give me to dor
John Proctor put ON his hat and went wit
him into the yard, where an empty car wa
waiting 90 be filled on an order from a neigh
boring town He showed the man sma
slip of paper tackled upon the end, and WI
about to explain whore he would find the IN,
terial designated, when the fellow threw o
his coat and deity attacked pile OF scan
ling, which CHANGED to be the first item o
the list
"Hulloan said Proctor, gazing at him
surprise. you seem to know somethin
about this business
"A little,' returned the man shortly.
The young lmnbernan took his way TO II
office. A little later the ruddy visage ,
Maxon looked in at the door as he returne
from dinner
"oh, by the way, Maxon, have new ma
at work out in the yard. You might kes
AN eye on him.
"Now, Mr. Proctorn exclaimed Maxon,
hopeless protest is II another of them +,
iowsf
well, YOU see, he declared he was willir
to work, aud IL seems only fair to give ms
chance"

Those fellows will bear watching. "a

Half AN hour later MaNon looked In aga
