CHAPTER XIV.
In Honor Of Miss Spencer.


! Mr.. Jack Moffat, president Of the
Bachelor Miners Pleasure club, had
embraced the idea of a reception for
Miss Spencer with unbounded enthu-
siasm. Indeed, the earliest conception
of such an event found birth within
his fertile brain, and from the first he
determined upon making it the most
notable social function ever known in
that portion of the territory.
The large space above the Occi-
dental was secured for the occasion,
the obstructing subdivisions knocked
away, an entrance constructed with an
outside stairway leading up from va
cant lot, and the passage connecting
the saloon boarded up. incidentally,
Mr.. Moffat took occasion to announce
that If ANY snoozer got drunk and
came up them stairs" he would be
thrown bodily out of window. Mr..
Mcneil, who was observing the pre-
liminary proceedings with deep inter
est from a pile of lumber opposite,
sarcastically intimated that under such
circumstances the attendance of club
members would be necessarily limited.
Mr. Moffat's reply it is manifestly i'm
possible to quote literally. Mrs Cuff
fly was employed to provide the requi-
site refreshments in the palatial din
ing-hsll of the hotel, while Buck Ma
son, the vigilant town marshal, popu-
larly supposed to know intimately the
face of every "rounder" in the terri
tory, agreed to collect the cards OF in
vitation at the door, and bar out OBJ
noxiouS visitors.
The invited guests arrived from the
sparsely settled regions round about,
not few riding for a hundred miles
over the hard trails. The majority
came early, arrayed in whatsoever up.
parel their limited wardrobes could
supply. but ready for any wild frolfc.
The men outnumbered the gentler sex
five to one, but every feminine repre-
sentative within, a radius Of about 50
miles, whose responsibility could pos

Which depends on the stream for its

Mr. Duke has on his estate artificial

til only a tiny stream found it's way
thru its bed to the intake of the Rari-

high and dry. there being scarcely
enough water in the wells to supply
the big boilers of the mill. The Rari-
tan wooden mills are owned by the
Einsten estate. and employ more than
thousand hands.
While the managers of the mill were
inclined to do all honor to Mr.. Dukes
bride they were suddenly confronted by
business proposition which led them
to summon Manager Smith of the Duke
estate to look over the situation.

II at least suspect as much, for

piquant and innocent; perfect wealth

mysteries within their depths, and lips
which seem made to kiss. Tell me, is
