Jonas was cooking bit of bacon
on the little stove when the door open
ed and n rasping voice spoke famil-
iarly: Coin to sell out, l see, Jonas,
eh?"
Jonas looked up in evident displeas-
ure. He was a slender, old man-per-
haps seventy years of age. His hair
was thin and white, and his beard and
moustache grew long and straSgly,
showing the pink skin beneath, for
Jonas was in prime health as result
of his regular. active farm life. Now
his cheeks were pinker> with irritation.
Squire Barlow was not a welcome WIS.,
itor. Jonas's glance encountered
another old man-as advanced In years
as himself, but not as well preserved.
He was short and stout, with black,
beady eyes deep-set in a yellowish,
leathery face. He looked the mean,
hard-fsted man he was known to be;
and as Jonas was not pleased with the
interruption he turned again to the
stove. giving curt assent to the
Squire's inquiry:
'Ye see right, Guess ye know the
meanin' of red flags jes' as well as
do, seein' as how gen'raly ye happen
TO be 'roun' where there's bargains.
VIII ye shet th' door, Squire? | amt
got no plans for heatin' all out doors"
Jonas spoke impatlently. Then, as
the Squire closed the door with an

"HE LAY STILL, THE PRECIOUS
angry slam, he lifted the meat out of
the pan with fork and put it on
blue plate that rested, warming, on the
edge of the stove.
Ye don't seem very glad to see me,
Jonas" The Suire's voice was cross
between n whine and snarl, and his
black eyes cleaned Indignantly.
Jonas continued his preparations for
breakfast. He gave final stir to the
coffee, set the pot and the plate of
meat on the table, and cut a thick
slice of bread. Then, as he sat down
to eat he looked up at the Squire with
cold, hard eyes:
~ didn't ask ye to come in, Squire,
an I'll not ask ye to go long as ye
behave yerself." He spoke very quiet
ly, almost as though he were talking
to himself. And as the Squire's face
reddened with suppressed anger for
he had expected Jonas TO cringe be-
fore HIM Jonas calmly stirred his cof-
fee, looking meditatively out of the
window across the bleak, frozen hill
side. -
Jonas's Indifference was too much
for the Squire's temper and he let him
self out with an oath. "Ah-h-h!' he
snarled. "Ye may well say ye didn't
, ask me in. Jonas Updyke. But ye
dassent ask me why l come. For
though we've lived here in this valley
nigh seventy year, boys together, and
men together. this is the fust time IN
forty year gone that I've crossed TINS
here doorsill. But 1t won't he the last,
Jonas, it won't be the last, me boy
There was an unctious sneer In ms
voice that grated on every fibre OF
Jonas being
"There wouldn't be no tears shed.
Squire, If ye wasn't to come back no
more. An as for crossin my step In
forty year. nobody knows bettern yer
self how that happens"
The Squire opened his coat, ad1ust-
ed his collar, and began tmpressively,
empha sizing his words by tapping on
the table with fat forefnger:
"Jonas Updyke. let me ask We few
questions. Maybe ye don't remember
-seein how old ye're gettin-mebbe
we've forgotten Ann Eliza Wimbie
that lived In this town as girl some
forty year hack" He waited for reply.
Jonas nodded his head ''The best
girl that ever lived, peace to her ASH
es," he replied reverently. :,
.And mebbe We don't remember,
went on the Squire in louder voice,
"thet for nigh five year I was Wis
tim Ann Eliza Wimble every Satnr-
day night, and takin her to meetin
ever Thursday evenin' in good weather
and goin' drivin' with her, to- say,
nothin of buyin' her gum drops, an
cologne, an SIGH" Again he paused,
and again Jonas nodded. looking out
of the window sadly, for Ann Eliza
had been his wife for forty years. and
less than two years before he had
buried her in the little village church
yard.
The Squire's voice rose in passionate
climax. His gestures became emphat-
ic: 'Mebbe We riccOllect. then, Jonas

was our baby, and you saved it for us.
The fires out. There's no danger.
And I've bought the old home, father,
and you can go back IL you want, and
never work or want any more"
But Jonas did not hear. great
peace came over him. He knew only
that "Sonny" held him; that "Sonny''
would take care of him; that his long
journey was at an end.
Through the midnight air came the
sound of great bells. All over the city
the joyous message was rlnging-ring-
ing In "Sonny's" ears-that Jones had
come home.

RAIDING COAL CARS AT YAKIMA
Farmers Have Grievances, Affording
New Factor.

New Factor.
People still clamor for coal. They
continue to besiege the local dealers
and raid the railroad cars at Yakima,
says the Republic. Agent Meeks
charges this morning that some of the
draymen and other men delivering
coal break into the line two or three
times a day, take load of coal and
pay the regular market price for it,
then go out and sell it to the highest
bidder. Mr.. Meeks said this morning
that much Of this peddling is going
on, and he called upon the mayor to
put a stop to it.
Mr.. Meeks says there is enough
coal to go around in the community
| If each man would confine himself
to one load until that is consumed,
but the trouble is a number of peo-
pie have wagons out in their interests
getting every pound possible and
thereby depriving families who are
actually in dire extremities. 81 know
of one man." said Agent Meeks, "who
| got six tons of coal last week"
Mr.. Meeks thinks the business men
should appoint a committee to take
charge of the coal that comes in. He
says that 430 tons came in here yes
terday and last night and that if it
had been properly distributed every
body who needs fuel could have had
! from half a ton to ton.
The Northwest Improvement COM
pany is selling coal today at $4.75 per
ton. Several cars arrived last night
and at this hour 65 teams are stand
ing in line waiting their turn.
A car of coal billed here for w. NJ.
Watt, the we'll known local dealer,
was raided last night by citizens. Pat
| Mullins drayman was among the
raiders, but this morning he called on
Mr.. Watt and settled for the coal
thus taken. There are others who
participated in the Watt car raid who
have not yet showed up to settle.
Two cars of the Northern Pacific
company were also raided last night,
which have not yet been settled for.
While the teams were standing in
line this morning across the side
track in the switch yard, the switch
engine wanted 10 get past Dut H'llS
of the teams would move out of their
position for fear some other wagon
would drive into the gap and leave
them in the lurch. The engine was
forced to wait.
It. is charged by great many far
mers who are in the city today that
the local dealers show decided pref
erence for the citizens of North Yak
ina, and that 1t is almost impossible
for them to get coal. For that reason
they are raiding the coal cars and
helping themselves.
Paul Kruger, while attempting to
drive in front of some teams in the
coal yards Saturday evening had an
alteration with c. d. Hessey, in
which the latter struck Kruger over
the head with an iron rod, inflicting
painful but not dangerous wound.
Kruger swore out a warrant for Hes
sey's arrest, charging him with as
sault Hessey was released on his
own recognizance, and the trial set
for 2 o'clock this afternoon.

backed up and Fitz Gerald was found
