 "Yes. yes-it's Dan'l J. fur sure they got my boy Dan'l that time. Is that all it says, Billy? Anyone with him?"
 Why. this here dispatch is signed by young Toler-that's his confidential man."
 Nobody else?"
 - The old man was peering at him sharply from under the gray protrud- ing brows.
 Well. If you must know. Uncle Peter. this is what the notice says that come by wire to the Ledge office,1 and he read doggedly:
 .'The young and beautiful Mrs. Bines, who had been accompanying her husband on his trip of inspection over the Sierra Northern. is prostrated with grief at the shock of his sudden death.
 The old man became for the first time conscious of the tears in his eyes, and. pulling down one of the blue woolen shirt sleeves. wiped his wet cheeks. The slow. painful blush of age crept up across the iron strength of his face, and passed. He looked away as he spoke. ..-

west side of Horseback Ridge, just be- yond Eden. When he pulled out he was talking about some likely noatrock he'd picked up over that way last sum- mer. You'd ought to make that by tomorrow, seeing you've got good horse and the trails been mended this spring Now you spread yourself out. Billy, and when you get on to the Ridge mako special look all around there"
 Besides these directions and the tele- gram from Toler, Billy Brue took with him copy of the Skiplap Weekly Ledge, damp from the press and con- taining 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:, 4
 The young and beautiful Mrs. Bines. who had been accompanying her husband on his trip of inspection over the Sierra Northern, is prostrated 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 proyocation to do otherwise. He con- sidered it no meddling,. however. to remember that Mrs. Daniel J. Zines, 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. ....f....

But some day, son, you'll md out there's a whole lot of difference between a great man of wealth and . man of great wealth. Them last h gettin' terrible common"
 So the old man and the young man made the round of the Bines proper ties. The former nursed forlorn little hope of exciting an interest in the concerns most vital to him; to the latter the leisurely tour in tho pri- vate car was sportive prelude to the serious business of life, as it should be lived, in the east. Considering 1t as such he endured it amiably, and in- deed the long August days and the sharply cool nights were not without real enjoyment for him.
 They awoke one morning to find the car on siding at the One Girl mine. Coupled to it was another car from an eastern road that their train had taken on some time in the night. Per cival noted the car with interest as he paced beside the track in the cool, clear air before breakfast. The cur tains were drawn. and the only signs of life to be observed were at the kitchen end, where tho white-clad cook could be seen astir. Grant, DOT ter on the Zines car, told him the other car had been taken on at Kaslo Junc- ton, and that it belonged to Rulon Shepler, the New York dnancier, who was aboard with party of friends.
 Al Percival and Uncle Peter Jeff their car for the shaft house aftel breakfast, the occupants of the other car were bestirring themselves.
 From one of the open windows low but impassioned voice was ex hausting the current idioms of damna. ton in sweeping dispraiss of all land areas north and west of Fifty-nintf street. New York.
 Uncle Peter smiled grimly. Perciva flushed, for the hidden protestant hat uttered what were his own sentiment! . month before.
 Reaching the shaft house they chat ted with Pangburn, the superintend snt. and then went to the store room to don blouses and overalls for descent into the mine.
 For an hour they stayed under ground. traversing the various leveli and drifts, while Pangburn explained the later developments of the vein ant showed them where the new stopinl had been begun.

CHAPTER ".

n
 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 year peopled his lover's solitude with fair visions and made its 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 1t. His thoughts for the mo- ment had been not of her; then, all at once. she stood before him in the flesh. and he was cool, almost un. moved. He suspected at once that her father was the trim. fastidiously dressed man who looked as if he had been abducted from . morning stroll down the avenue to his club: that the plump. ruddy, hish-bred woman. sur veying the west disapprovingly through a lorgnon. would be her mother. Shep- Ter he knew by sight. with his big head. massive shoulders and curious ly short. taperiag body. Some other men and a woman were scanning the hoisting machinery with superior looks. The girl. before starting toward him. had waited hardly longer than fl took him to eye the group. And then came an awkward two seconds upon her whose tact in avoiding the avk- ward was reputed to be more than |
 common.
 With her hand extended she had ut tered: Why. Mr.-" before 1t flashed upon her that she did not know the name of the young man she was greet ing.

ACCOMMODATIONS TFsEevTVV'FVTSS'FI


I For many days there was little seen
Of Cross Eyes in the chase or at the
fishing. Food enough to sustain him
self was all he sought Inside his
cave he was at work, with flint and
drill and sandstone polisher engaged
more earnestly than he had ever been
I when forming spear or arrowhead
With infinite labor and patience une3-
/ ampled hitherto, he wrought logged
/ ly, but happily and wonderful things
| began fashoning themselves in his
I strong hands. He bored each white
, chalk pebble, each rose pink shell, I'M
til there were many Of them thus
pierced, and then he shaped them and
rounded them and polished them I'M
til they glttered wondrously when he
brought them to the light. He mar
veed at them himself. They were
splendid beads.
An eye for contrast had the worker.
A long tendon from the leg of the
great elk he took, tendon such as
made his bowstrng, something that
could not break, and which would last
lifetime, and upon this he strung
the beads, first a white and next q
pink one, and so on, alternately, untl
all were thus secured. He knotted the
ends Of the tendon together, in knot
that could not become united. and
then held up before him, some.
thing magnificent, the most glorious,
shining bauble the world had ever
knowu--thc First Necklace
And during all the weeks while
Cross Eyes was hidden in mis- cave.
Big Bow had woocd most vigorously.
He would make last great effort and
she must yield.
SO, as darkness fell, Big Bow went
TO the cave Of Little Toes, where she
CHANGED to be alone. Tossed over one
of his shoulders was the body OF a
fawn he had killed that day, and over
tho other hung down to the cave
mans feet great. dark, glossy mass
which was something to demand at
tcntion. 1t was the skin of the great
cave bear, the only one ever slain by
the tribe, and had come to Big Bow
as being foremost In the famous chase
and fight 1t was a magnificent thing
Few words had Big Bow. He laid
the fawa at the feet Of Little Toes
and then he spread out upon the
ground before her the great bear skin.

.koW FOOLED MY BOSS"
Story Of Young Man Who Cheated
Himself of Success.

On street car recently ! overheard
twenty-one telling two companions
how he managed to cheat his EN-
ployer out of an hour and hairs
time every day for over year. This
IS the substance of what he said:
He was out great deal with the
bcgs and got, on an average, only
about five and a half hours sleep a
night This not being sufficient, he
managed to sleep an hour and half
each DAY during business hours.
He went on to describe large door
situated Just back of the private Of
fee in the store, which, when open,
cut off quite little corner OF space
in such way that he could seclude
himself there without danger of being
seen. In this secluded corner, seated
in chair, he took nap of an hour
and a half each day.
Several of the other clerks knew
about this retreat, and they took turns
during the day, so that some one OF
lheHl was leSllu5 vi SlScl'uS thClO
most of the day
One of his companions ASKED the
young man how he managed 70 avoid
detection. He replied that the door
opened into a passageway, and WAS
never closed in the daytime; thai the
boss never had occasion to look be-
hind it, and that he would not be
likely to miss one clerk among so
many; and that even if he did, there
was always someone who would give
the signal. 50 together the young
men managed to cheat their employer
out of the equivalent ~ one mans
entire time.
| had been admiring this young
mans striking appearance before he
told his story. He had a splendid
head, and very strong face, aud |
had said to myself, How | wish
could tell that young man what great
possibilities are before him if he is
only equal to his opportunity" Yet
on the very threshold of his career
he was Systematically cheating his en-
ployer, and glorying in his ceyerness
in doing it.
There are tens of thousands Of men
in the great failure army to-day, who
thought they were getting the best
of their employer in Their younger
days because they clipped their hours,
shirked their work, says o. S. Marden
in Success Magazine. They thought
they were going to get on
in the world just as you do; but,
before they realized it, they had fas-
tened upon themselves the habit of
cheating, or deceiving, until they grad.
ually became SO dishonest that they
not only were not promoted, but either
lost their positions as well, or, when
they started in business for them
selves, lost their credit. their stand
ing, the confdnce or others and
gradually went to the wall, or landed
in the penitentiary.
