The old mans blue eyes fixed them
selves with unwaverlng steadiness on
Thorpes face.

enough about it? Who does it belong

The river man pondered this slowly
for an appreciate interval, and then
shot out another question:
How'd you get it?'
Thorpe told him simply, emitting
nothing except the name Of sthe firm

you're goin' to cut it? 1t amt such a
small job"
Thorpe could hardly believe his good
fortune in having gained so important
recruit. With n practical man as
foreman, his mind would be relieved
of great deal OF worry over unfamil-
lar details. He saw at once that he
would himself be able to perform all
the duties of scaler, keep in touch with
the needs Of the camp and supervise
the campaign. Nevertheless he answer
ed the older mans glance with one as
keen and said
Look here, Shearer, If you take this
job we may as well understand each
other at the start This is going to be
my camp, and I'm going to be boss.

ment the pest, but don't want any
mistakes to start with. If you want

have you"
For the first time the numbering mans
face lost, during single instant, Its
mask of immobility His steel blue
eyes flashed; his mouth twitched with
some strong emotion. For the first
time, too, he spoke without contempia-
tive pause of preparation.
THAT'S the way to talk!' he cried.
"Go with you? Well, should rise to
remark! You're the boss. and always
said it. I'll get you a gang OF bully
boys that will roll logs till there's skat-
Ing in Tophet.'

Thorpe left, after making an APP
pointment at his own hotel for the fol-
lowing day, more than pleased with
his luck. None the less, he anticipated
his next step with shaky confidence.
He would now be called upon to buy
four or five teams of horses and enough
feed to last them the entire winter, and
he would have to arrange for pro-
visions in abundance and variety for
his men; he would have to figure on
blankets, harness, cook camp utensils.
stoves, blacksmiths tools, iron, axes,
chains, cant hooks, van goods, pals.
lamps. oil, matches, all sorts of hard
ware-in short, all the thousand and
one things, from needles to court plas-
ter. of which self suff1cing commu-
nifty might come in need. And he
would have to figure out his require
ments for the entire winter. After
navigation closed he could import moth
ing more.
Deep In these thoughts he wandered
on at random. He suddenly came to
himself in the toughest quarter of Bay
City.

the sound of cachinnations pointed to

window Mems and women's voices

Thorpe became aware of a figure
crouched in the doorway almost at his
feet. The Pickering rays Of distant
street lamp threw into relief the high
lights of violin and head. The face
uptnrned to him was thin and white
and wolfish under broad white brow.
Dark eyes cleaned at him with the
expression Of fierce animal. Across
the forehead ran a long but shallow
cut from which blood dripped. The
creature clasped both arms around a
violin He crouched there and stared
up at Thorpe. who stared down at him.
"What's the matter" asked the lat
ter finally.
The creature made no reply, but
drew his arms closer about his instru-
ment. Thorpe made sign to the un-
known to rise.
'Come with me-" said he, land I'll
have your forehead attended to-"
The eyes cleaned into his with a
sudden savage concentration. Then
their owner obediently arose.
Thorpe now saw that the body be-
fore him was Of cripple, short legged.
hunchbacked, long armed, pigeon
breasted. The large head sat strangely
top heavy between even the broad
shoulders. 1t confirmed the hopeless
but sullen despair that brooded on the
white countenance.
At the hotel Thorpe. examining the
cut, found it more serious in appear

pieces Of sticking plaster lie drew il;

For a Hundred Years.

For a hundred years or more Witch
Hazel has been recognized as a super
Tor remedy, but it remained for L. G.
Dewitt g. Co. of Chicago, to discover
how to combine the virtues of Witch
Hazel with other antiseptics, in the
form of a salve. DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve is the best salve In the
world for sores, cuts. burns, bruises
and piles. The high standing of this
salve has given rise to counterfeits.
and the public is advised to look for
the name Dewitt on the package,
and accept no other. Sold by all drug

Mexico. Mo-. Aug. 11.-E N. White Of

in his Mexico Evening Ledger, says in re-
gard TO the Stone-Folk controversy:
THE Ledger is unable TO understand Just
what Senator W. J. Stone is trying to ac-
complish in his letter to the Kansas City
Star Senator Stone is not candidate or
member of the Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee, and just why he should
make demands on the nominees or man
ageuenr of the party is. to say the least
unusual. The rank and file Of the Demo-
cratic party IS arranging to elect the
ticket by an overwhelming majority. The
Republicans are keeping still and saying
nothing and hoping for discord among the
Democrats. Democrats throughout the
State are amazed at Senator Stones utter
ances. When United States Senator at
tacks the head OF his party ticket he
should be explicit and state definitely
whether he is trying TO enlbarrass him. de-
feat him, make him run behind his ticket
or is just endeavoring to make mischief
The writer has no desire to misrepre-
sent Mr.. Stone. or in any way to place
him in a false light. 1t is in public print
that Senator Cockrell told Mr.. Stone in
conference held in st. Louis with other
Democrats that he tStone) was making an
ass of himself. The boys in the trenches
who have to stand the heat and burden of

terested in the success of the party and
are above personal malice or spiteful
eEotism. The Democrats of Missouri after

have right to be informed whether that
gentleman Is endeavoring to defeat the
Democratic ticket or whether he has lost
his mind. Such a display of arrogance
and egotism with the malicious assault
made on the head Of the ticket will sure
ly meet with the disapproval Of Demo-
crats generally. And they will not for
