Mike, or his hackers, will be most
likely to play it to a finish, don't you
guess?"
"How?"
by havin' a policeman layin' for
you at the train"

well, can think you out of it, I
reckon. The branch train is a. com
modation, and it'll stop most any
where If you throw up your hand at 1t.
We can take out through the woods
and across the hills, and mog up the
track piece. How'll that do?"
1T will do for me, but there is no
need of you tramping when you can
just as well ride
But now that side or Mr.. Peter Big
gin which endears him and his kind
to every man who has ever shared his
lonely roundups, or broken bread with
him in his comfortless shack, came
uppermost.
What do you take me fer?" was the
way it vocall-ed itself; but there was
more than formal oath of loyal al
legiance in the curt question.
For a man and a brother" said
Winton, heartily; and they set out
together to waylay the outgoing train
at some point beyond the danger limit.
1t was accomplished without further
mishap, and the short winter day was
darkening to twilight when the train
came in sight and the engineer slowed
to their signal. They climbed aboard.
and when they had found a seat in
the smoker the engineer of construc-
ton spoke to the ex-cowboy as to a
friend.
Il hope Adams has knocked out a
good days work for u.s." he said.
Your pardner with the store hat
and the stinkin cigaroots?-hes all
right" said Eiggin; and it. so Glanced
that at the precise moment of the say
ing the subject of it was standing
with the foreman OF track layers at a
gap in the new line just beyond and
above the Rosemary's siding at Ar
gentine, his days work ended, and his
men loaded on the flats for the run
down to camp over the lately laid rails

THE PULSE OF TRADE.
II Is Strong and Steady-Prospects
for the Future are Very Bright.

New York.-R. G. Dun &c Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade expands under the stimulat
ing influence of colder weather and
mercantile collections improve, al
though rates for money continue high
Travelling statesmen send in large or.
ders to leading distributing points, but
movements of merchandise are still re-
tarded by inadequate transporting ia.
cilities. Seasonable lines of wearing
apparel and holiday goods attract
most attention, while staple articles of
every description are in steady de.
mand. Current business is good and
prospects for the future were never
brighter.
Labor disputes reached amicable
settlement in most cases, wages being
advanced in numerous transporting
and manufacturing industries. The
most striking development of the week
was the unprecedented output of pig
iron in conjunction with large i'm
ports and advancing prices, indicat-
ing the greatest activity ever attained
by steel mills. Other industrial re-
ports were scarcely less gratifying.
Prospects in the iron and steel in
dustry are bright beyond precedent.
Contracts cover capacity of mills far
into next year and in some cases to
1908.

What followed was cataclysmal in
its way. The lounger took three stag
gering lurches towards Winton,
brushed the messenger boy aside, and
burst out in a storm of maudlin in
vective.
Sign yerself fWinton' now, do ye,
ye low-down, turkey -trodden-"
"One minute" said Winton, curtly,
taking the telegram from the boy and
signing for it.
''I'll give ye more'n ye can carry
away In less'n half that time-see?"
was the minatory retort; and the
threat was made good by an awkward
buffet which would have knocked the
engineer out of his chair if he had
remained in it.
Now Winton's eyes were gray and
steadfast, but his hair was of that
shade of brown which takes the tint
OF dull copper in certain lights, and
he had a temper which went with the
red in his hair rather than with the
gray in his eyes. Wherefore his at
tempt to placate his assailant was
something less than diplomatic.
"You drunken scoundrel!" he
snapped, "if you don't go about your
business and let me alone, I'll turn
you over to the police with broken
bone or two!'
The bully's answer was blow de-
livered straight from the shoulder
too straight to harmonize with the fic-
ton of drunkenness Winton saw the
sober purpose in it and went battle
mad, as hasty man will. Being a
skillful boxer-which his antagonist
was not-he did what he had TO do
neatly and with commendable dis
patch. Down, up; down, up; down a
third time, and then the bystanders
interfered.
Hold on"
"That'll dol"
Don't you see he's drunk?"
'Enough's as good as feast-let
him CO."
Wintons blood was up, but he de-
sisted, breathing threatenings. Where
at Biggin shouldered his way into the
circle.
''Pay your bill and let's hike out o.
this. pronto. he said in low tone.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1906-11-22

couldn't stay to breathe twice In Ar
gentine. And this towns got po-
lice!" the comment with lip-curling
scorn.
''It also has a county court which
is probably waiting for us" said Win
ton; whereupon they went in to ap-
pease the offended majesty of the law.
AS Winton had predicted, his an
swer to the court summons was a
mere formality. On parting with his
chief at the Argentine station plat
form, Adams first care had been to
wire news of the arrest to the Utah
headquarters. Hence Winton found
the company's attorney waiting for
him in Judge Whitcomb's courtroom,
and his release on an appearance bond
was only a matter of moments.
The legal affair dismissed, there en-
sued weary interval of time-killing.
There was no train back to Argentine
until nearly five o'clock in the after
noon, and the hours dragged heavily
for the two, who had nothing to do
but wait. Biggin endured his part of
it manfully till the midday dinner had
been discussed; then he drifted off
with one of Winton's cigars between
his teeth, saying that he should take
poison" and shoot up the town If he
could not find some more peaceful
means of keeping his blood in circula-
ton.
1t was a little after three o'clock,
and Winton was sitting at the writ
ing table in the lobby of the hotel
celebrating his hasty notebook data
of the mornings inspection, when a
boy came in with telegram. The
young engineer was not so deeply en-
crossed in his work as to be deaf to
the colloquy.
"Mr. John Winton? Yes. he is here
somewhere" said me clerk in answer
to the boys question; and after an
Identifying glance, There he is-over
at the writing table"
Winton turned in his chair and saw
the boy coming towards him; also ne
saw the ruffian pointed out by Biggin
from the courthouse steps and labeled
"Sheeny Mike" lounging up to the
clerks desk for a whispered word with
the bediamonded gentleman behind it.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1906-11-22

"You ain't got no time to fool with
Carbonate justice shop"
But Winton was not to be brought
to his senses so easily.
Run away from that swine? Not
IL l know it. Let him take 1t into
court IL he wants to. I'll be there
too"
The beaten one was up now and ap-
parently looking for an officer.
I'm takin' ye all to Witness" he
rasped Il was on'y askin' him to
cash up what he lose to me las night.
and he jumps me. But I'll stick him
If there's any law in this camp"
Now all this time Winton had been
holding the unopened telegram crum-
pied in his fist, but when Biggin
pushed MIN out of the circle and thrust
thought him to read the message. It
was Virginia's warning, signed by
Adams, and a single glance at the clos
ing sentence was enough to cool him
suddenly.
Pay the bill, Biggin, and join me
in the billiard room, quick!" he whis-
pered pressing money into the town
marshals hand and losing himself in
the crowd. And when Biggin had
obeyed his Instructions: Now for a
back way out of this If there is one.
Well have to take 10 the hills till
train time"
Didn't take you more'n a week to
change your mind about pullin' 1t off
with that tin-horn scrapper in the
courts, did it?"
NO." said Winton.
"'Taint none o. my business, but
I'd like to know what stampeded YOU"
"a telegram shortly. at was a
put-up job to have me locked up on a
criminal charge, and so hold me out
another day"
Biggin grinned. "The old b'iler.
buster again. Say, he's holy terror,
amt he?"
HE doesn't mean to let me build
my railroad if he can help it,
The eX-cowboy found his sack of
chip tobacco and dexterously rolled a
cigarette in a bit of brown wrapping
paper.

Here the matter rested; and, having
done what she conceived to be her
charitable duty, Virginia was as anx-
1ous to get away as heart-the heart
of a slightly bored Reverend Billy, for
1nstance-could wish.
So they bade Adams good-by and
picked their way down the frozen en-
bankment and across the ice bridge;
down and across and back to the Rose
mary, where they found a perturbed
chaperon in fiutter of solicitude aris-
tng upon their mysterious disappear
ance and long absence.

Free Philippine Sugar Would Ruin
SUGAR Beet Industry,

Denver-In discussing the Philip.
pine sugar tariff, the Denver News.
Senator Patterson's paper. says:
THE scheme to place Philippine
products upon the free list is one OF
the cherished schemes Of the most pro-
nounced imperialists. for they know
that American capital multiplied by
tens of millions, when invested in the
islands, will create insuperable bar
riers to separation.
But in addition to that, Senators
Patterson and Teller are opposed to
the free list scheme because they real
ize that within few years the produc-
tion of Philippine sugar would become
SO great, and it can be produced and
landed SO cheaply in American ports.
that no American farmer could cult
vate with profit n single acre Of the
sugar beets. The factories along the
Platte ana the Arkansas and in other
sections of Colorado and OF the United
States would soon be ruins, and the
lands Of the farmers that have doubled
in value since the Introduction of the
sugar beet would relapse to their for
mcr price. In short, the scheme of
the Philippine free trader is to rob the
American farmer of practically the
only protection he gets from the Ding.
ley tariff. making him pay tribute,
without any returns. to the syndicates
and trust combines in the purchase OF
everything that enters into the con-
sumption OF his home and his farm.
III that is Democratic doctrine, Sen.
ator Patterson unhesitatingly declares
that he is opposed to such doctrine
and would wipe 1t from the party con-
fession of principles II 1t was within
his power. But 1t is not Democratic

Of theorist, and should Ii crystalline
