said Pat Francis, arbitrarily picking up
his lamp to go forward. Two minutes
later he was in the smoker bending over
the Italian and shaking him.

Francis passed calmly on without at
tempting to controvert the confidence Of
the drummer.
Amt you god-do?" appealed the latter,
weakening a bit as he realized he was

he continued to the next.
But the cigar man happily came of a
race that does not unconplainingly sub
nit. and he kicked vociferously. as Pat
Francis expected he would, BY the time
the excited salesman had woke every
BODY up in his end of the car and worked
himself into a lather, Pat came at him
with proposition.

"Vild Hat"

the cigar stoically and moved on. 1t was
one stop saved and the Antelope stop
was terror at any time with big train
like No. !.
Francis had reached the rear of the
chair car. when he had an impression
he had forgotten something. He stopped
to think. The cattleman Turning, he
looked back sharply over the passengers

the car looking for the fellow. There
was no cattleman in sight and, walking
back, Francis dismissed him with the
conclusion that he must have gotten off

Come on then!" Francis grIpped him
by the collar.
'Whata do?'
Throw you off.'
The Italian drew back to resist They
parleyed a moment longer, only because
Francis was bluffing. II he had meant
to stop the train at any point he would
have said nothing-slmply dragged the
fellow out by the hair.
At last the italian produced three dol
lars and half. 1t was only enough to
check him to Red Cloud. He wanted
to go through, and the fare was eleven
dollars and twenty cents.
The silent conductor stuck the money
in his pocket and drew his cash fare
slips. Just then the pusher whistled a
stop signal. Francis started, suddenly
furious at the sound. Showing the slips
into his pocket he hurried to the vssti-
bule and put his head angrfly out. Ahead
he saw only John Parkers lamp and
streamers. John had slid his door be-
fore Francis could open the vestibuIe.
That was why the conductor loved him,

wasn't thinking of women's wiles as he
quietly reused the sleepers and asked for
their credentials. They were worn tired
looking wome1 haggard, good many
of them. from catnaps snarched in the
specially devised discomfort chairs, while
their more fortunate sisters slept peace
fully back in the hair-mattressed Pull
man berths. He was thinking solely, as
he mechanically went through the check
ing operation, of a cattleman in a can
vas coat, smooth face and red tie, who
should by rights be now half way down
the car, just ahead of him. But the con-
ductor Francis didn't look. His eyes never
rose byond the passenger under his nose,
for in front of a company detective the
hate and the curiosity are all concealed;
the conductor Is strictly on dress parade
with a sting in his right arm that he
would like to land directly under the
spotter's ear.
A shabby travelling mana cigar man
handed up a local ticket. 1t was for
Antelope Gap. Pat Francis looked at 1t
for a minute before he punched 1T and
stuck it in his pocket.
I'VE don't stop at Antelope Gap to-
night" said he shortly.
Don't stop?' echoed the cigar man,
wide awake in a fraction of a second.

bitter discussion with a conductor the
day before way back at the Missouri
River as to whether his boy should pay
fare. Instead of gracefully paying when
called on. he had abused the conductor,
who, may be because there was spot
ter" sitting by, had felt compelled for
self-protection to collect the half rate.
But in retaliation for the abuse the con-
ductor had reported to the next conduc-
tor half fare in the Portland sleeper,
and thus started an endless chain Of an
noyance that would haunt the traveller
travellers will study tact and forswear
abuse and its penalties.
Conductor Francis, finishing the string
Of loaded Pullmans. sat down in the
smoking-room of the last car with the
hind-end brakeman to straighten out his
collections. The headlight of the pusher
threw in yellow dazzle of light on them
and the continuous cut of its fire doomed
from the stack. Pat Francis, setting
down his lamp. began to sniff.
Smell anything" he asked presently
of his companion.

ing his head from the curtain hood un-
der which he had been looking out into
the storm

said Francis shortly, sorting his tickets.

This is the way private enterprise

It is certainly not cheaper for the
man who wants to get home on the
land Even If the glitering expecta-
tions of profit are never realized, ex-
orbitant interest must be paid for the
use of the constitution fund.- Men do
not send their money into new coun.

a part Of the fabulous profit which
their capital is expected to create.
1t is cheaper for the people of the
United States-for industrial interests
of every description whose prosperity
is to be exchanged by the opening and
settlement of mighty empire in which
millions of men shall ultimately make
