This was an ideal day for the
picnic of the NJ. w. A. in Lincoln

to have forgotten that large num-
ber of visitors were expected, for
when several degree teams from

towns along the C. & S. arrived in
the city, they were obliged to go on
still hunt for the local boys.
The parade was scheduled for
1O:3O, but the special train from
Denver was late and it was about
the noon hour when the teams
headed by the NJ. W. A. band of
Boulder, passed through the main
streets of the city and marched to
the band stand in Lincoln park,
where Mayor Watson delivered a
short address of welcome. 1t was
answered by ID f. Carpenter ON be-
half of the Woodmen. .r
After luncheon the crowd in the

On this matter was the conviction that he
must do something, and do it mighty soon.
yet the afternoon kept slipping away.
Briggsy had a scared eye on Carter most
of the time, and he tried to keep the other
one on the door, through which he mo-
mentarily expected to see the detective of
his Imagination appear with handouts for
the guilty. No such calamity occurred,

stranger with alarm, suspecting his pro-
fession.

up!'
Briggsy took his courage in both hands.

from the 'old mans" pocket as he drew

was just taking long step over big
splash Of oil on the floor and he didn't
get his foot down on the other side of
1t before the money was in Carriers
pocket and Carter was at work again
as if nothing had happened.
A chill went up Briggsy's spine, and
then he burst into perspiration all over.
1t was as if he had done the thing him
self.
But this couldn't be the end Of it.
The ''old man. would certainly miss
his money the quicker because he al
ways walked with his hands in his
pockets. 1t was a wonder that he
didn't miss it before he got out of the
room, yet Briggsy saw the door close
behind him.
Hell be back; he'll be back in a
minute" thought Briggsy. "And then
whatll 1 do? If it was anybody but
Cart! 1t would kill his sister. couldn't
give away Mamie's brother. Not mew
The thought of Mamie suggested an
interesting possibility, and as the min
utes passed and the "old man. did not
come back Briggsy had time to consid-
er the matter. The gist of it was, that
Carter had not taken this money for
himself, but for his sister.
Mamie was lame. She couldn't walk
q step alone. But the doctor who had
looked out for her case more or less
since she WAS hurt had said that with
the aid Of a certain complicated ma
chine to support her back she could
walk pretty we'll. The machine cost
$50. and that was a good deal Of money
to earn. Briggsy had sometimes
thought of borrowing it, but never Of
stealing it.
Then he fell to thinking Of Mamie as
he was accustomed to see her evening
after evening at her window as he and
Cart reached home, smiling and max
ing believe she liked to sit there for
ever sewing at the work for which
she was paid such starvation prices,
though, as she said, the work was not
over fine and probably worth not much
more than she received for it. That
was the way with Mamie, always look
ing on the bright side and encouraging
her brother, who was often gloomy
and blamed himself for the accident
which had injured her spine.
For Carter a year before, thinking to
have some fun with Briggsy. whose
room adjoined the tiny fiat inhabited
by Cart and his sister, tied a string
across the stairs for tripping purposes.
Mamie tripped instead of Briggsy and
afterward spent months in bed, only
supplementing that inactivity by sit
ting at her window later on, her limbs
powerless.
Briggsy wondered if she were not
sometimes as gloomy as Cart when no.

Two men will have difficulty and
