though struck by panic. the white
tents of the railroad laborers van
ished, passing on yet farther to the
West, only the engineers remaining
at Ellisville and prosecuting from the
haven of the stone hotel the work of
continuing the line. The place of the
tents was taken by vast white-topped
wagons, the creaking cook carts of
the cattle trail, and the van of the
less nomadic man. 1t was the begin
ming sof the great cattle drive from
the Southern to the Northern ranges,
a strange wild movement in Ameri-
can life which carried in its train
set of conditions as vivid and peculiar
as they were transient.
Ellisville lay at an eddy in the
Plains and gathered toll of the
strange driftwood which was then
afioat. Though the chutes at the rail-
way were busy. yet other herds of
cattle passed Ellisville and wandered
on north, crowding at the heels of
the passing Indians, who now began
to see their own cattle to be doomed.
The main herd of the buffalo was
now reported to be three or four days
drive from Ellisville, and the men
who killed for the railroad camps ut
tered loud complaints. The skin
hunting still went on. Great wagons,
loaded with parties of rough men,
passed on out, bound for the inner
haunts. where they might still find

he was the guiding mind in the af-
fairs of the odd partnership which
now sprang between him and his
friend. Battersleigh would have lived
till autumn in his tent, but Franklin
saw that the need of a house was i'm
mediate. He took counsel of Curly.
the cowboy, who proved guardian and
benefactor. Curly forthwith pro-
duced workman, a giant Mexican, a
half-witted mdeo, who had followed
the COW bands from the far South
west, and who had hung about Curly's
own place as a sort of menial bound
to do unquestionably whatever Curly
bade This curious being, a very CO.
lossus of strength, was found TO be
possessed of a certain knowledge in
building houses after the fashion of
that land-that is to say, of sods and
earthen unbaked bricks-and since
under his masters direction he was
not less serviceable than docile, it
was not long before the claim" of

summer habitation.
Even in the first year" the settler
of the new West was able to make
his living. He killed off the buffalo
swiftly, but he killed them in num-
hers so desperately large that their
bones lay in uncounted tons all over
a desolated empire. First the hides
and then the bones of the buffalo gave
the settler his hold upon the land,
which perhaps he could not else have
won.
Franklin saw many wagons coming
and unloading their cargoes of
bleached bones at the side of the
railroad tracks. There was a market
for all this back in that country which
had conceived this road across the
desert. Franklin put out wagon at
this industry, hauling in the fuel ard
the merchandise of the raw plains. He
bought the grim product of others who
were ready to sell and go out the ear
lier again.
Meantime the little town added
building after building along its strag-
