BUDS DOUBLE
VICTORY

Bud was discouraged. Every line OF
his six feet OF robust manhood spoke
more eloquenty than words his utter
WEAKNESS of soul.
Three months before when the boss
had called him into his office and after
few complimentary remarks had
placed him In charge OF construction
gang known as the bad job" OF the
road he had hailed the opportunity with
JOY. The road wished 10 construct Il
short spur into Mexico TO afford an
outlet for some silver mines, When
the concession had been secured from
the Mexican government one Of the
conditions had been that the labor
should be done by the natives of the
region through which the line was to
be constructed.
This had seemed simple matter, but
two years had now passed. and the
work was far from finished. One man
after another had been sent TO take
charge of the work, and with the great
est regularity they had asked for a
change Of work at the end Of the first
month. In case this request was not
granted they had promptly resigned to
seek service with another company.
"Mr. Maxwell" his chief had said. Il
want you 10 take charge OF that work
and get II out somehow and some
time should advise you by way of
equipment for the undertaking TO take
along the biggest six shooter that you
can get"
When Bud had reached the construc-
ton camp he had found 1t deserted.
He went back to the little town of
Rigas and recruited gang Of some
twenty men. Everything moved along
peacefully until Saturday night; then
they all bade him q respectful 'adios"
and started back toward Rigas. Ex-
postulation was In vain. Why should
they work longer? Had they not earn
ed the remarkable wages Of $50 for
each Of six days? And was that not
enough to support themselves and their
families in plenty for weeks to Gomez
No, no, they would not work any more
So they all left except Tomasso, the
combined engineer and fireman, who
had once served on a yard engine in
st. Louis and had acquired a more
abiding taste for work.
Bud seated himself on a deserted
bunk and thought the situation over.

luck to stop in the middle Of the

Tomasso thought they would stay.
In fact, he was sure they would.
Late Sunday evening Buds plan
took shape The old engine was cou-
pied to fat car and backed down to
Rigas. Bud disappeared in the rear
Of the hotel and soon reappeared, bear
ing very limp and passive citizen Of
that metropolis In his arms. He de-
posted his burden on the car and
then repeated the trip. In short
time his working force was complete,
and Tomasso received orders to steam
back to the camp. A very satisfae-
tory amount Of work was done that
week and during each Of number Of
succeeding weeks, thanks to con.
tinued desecratiOn Of Sunday evening
slestas.
There remained only a few miles of
road to complete, and Bud was feeling
much encouraged. The successful com
pletion Of the work meant promotion
for him, good salary, and. besides,

why He Missed the Lynching.

At a dinner In London on one occa.
sion the conversation turned on the
subject of lynchings in the United
States. 1t was the general opinion that
a rope was the chief end Of man In
America. Finally the hostess turned
to an American who had taken no part
in the conversation and said, you, sir,
must often have seen these affairs,
"Yes," be replied, 1--WE take a kind Of
municipal pride in seeing which city
can show the greatest number Of lynch
ings yearly. The night before ! sailed
for England I was giving dinner to a
