had come from the east for his health and the old

"Uncle DAVID was an Oldtown

by Mr.. Norton in his "Sketches" of
that vicinity. David used to run
RATS of lumber down the Penobscot

didn't sell to him he sold to some

One day Uncle David was stand

long and thoughtfully at the vessel

said in a tone of deep conviction:

A man observing hat marked IL

"The price is marked II francs.
That means 10. The shopman will
offer it for 8. 1t is not worth more
than 6. l don't want to give more
than 4, so I'll offer him q"
This suggests the principles upon
which trade is carried on. The fol
lowing is an illustration of the proc.
ess:

Swell, take it for 10 (seizing il

and hurriedly wrapping it up).

CHAPTER w.
A MEETING AND A CLAsHIN

A MEETING AND A CLASHING
As they stepped from the cage at the
surface Percival became aware of a
group of strangers between him and
the open door of the shaft house
people displaying in dress and manner
the unmistakable stamp of New York.
For part of minute, while the pupils
OF his eyes were contracting to the
light, he saw them but vaguely. Then,
as his sight cleared, he beheld fore
most in the group, beaming upon him
with an expression of pleased and sur
prised recognition, the girl whose face
and voice had for nearly half a year
peopled his lovers solitude with fair
visions and made it's silence to be all
melody.
Had the encounter been anticipated
his composure would perhaps have
failed him. Not few of his waking
dreams had sketched this, their second
meeting, and any one of the ways it
had pleased him to plan it would as
suredly have found him nervously en-
barrassed. But so wildly improbable
was this reality that not the daringest
of his imagined happenings had ap-
preached it. His thoughts for the mo-
ment had been not of her; then. all
at once, she stood before him in the

were directed to beat up the nearby
country. To Billy Brue was allotted
the easiest as being the most probable
route. He was to follow up Paddle
creek to Four Forks, thence over the
Bitter Root trail to Eden, on to Orc
Elmo, and up over Little Pass to He'll
andgone. He was to proceed slowly,
to be alert for signs along the way,
and to make inquiries of all he met.
you're likely to get track of Uncle
Peter" said Pangburn, lover along the
west side of Horseback Ridge, just be-
yond Eden. When he pulled out he
was talking about some likely Hoatrock
he'd picked up over that way last sum-
mer. You'd ought to make that by
tomorrow, seeing you've got a good
horse and the trails been mended this
spring. Now you spread yourself out
Billy, and when you get on to the
Ridge make special look all around
there
Besides these directions and the tele-
gram from Toler, Billy Brue took with
him a copy of the Skiplap Weekly
ANOSN, ucAAp - IA4O Fl CSo duu COu-
tanning the death notice of Daniel J.
Bines, notice sent out by the News
Association, which Billy Brue read
with interest as he started up the trail.
The item concluded thus:
1.-THE young and beautiful Mrs Bines,
who had been accompanying her husband
on his trip of inspection over the Sierra
Northern, is Frustrated with grief at the
shock of his sudden DEATH"
Billy Brue mastered this piece of in
telligence after six readings, but he
refrained from comment, beyond thank
ing God, in thought, that he could
mind his own business under excessive
provocation to do otherwise. He con-
sidered it no meddling, however, to
remember that Mrs. Daniel J. Bines,
widow of his late employer, could ap-
pear neither young nor beautiful to the
most sanguine Of neWsgatherers; nor
to remember that he happened to know
she had not accompanied her husband
on his last trip Of inspection over the
Kaslo division Of the Sierra Northern
railway.

They turned back down the trail, the
old man astride Billy Brues horse, fol-
lowed by his pack mule and preceded
by Billy.
Already, such was his buoyance and
habit of quick recovery and readjust-
ment under reverses, his thoughts
were turning to his grandson Dan
iels boy-there was the grandson OF
his grandfather-the son of his father
fresh from college, and the instruc-
tons of European travel, knowing
many things his father had not known,
ready to take up the work of his IA

it better finish. His beloved west
had lost one of it's valued builders,
but another should take his place.
His boy should come to him and finish
the tasks of his father; and, in the
years to come, make other mighty
tasks of empire building for himself
and the children Of his children.
