two men, which were strongly opposed

Nevertheless. for the time, Mr.. Har-

At last, the outbreak of the war fur

an open breach. Harrison imposed
conditions which he knew the young
officer would never accept and, on his
refusal, withdrew his promise. In this
way he had a semblance Of justice on
his side. and Roland's refusal was de-

Did you ever see a man in q. poker

stakes were bigger, probably, than

bet seven locomotives and his job that
the Missouri Pacific bridge wouldn't go

that seventeen bridges across the Kaw
had already been washed away. And
he won.
Now, the Missouri Pacific has the
only bridge across the Kaw at that
place. When Mr.. Carson saw that his
