Gold. .tr -
and wire-touched tree with close
scrutiny. We'll work east over these
five miles to Dutch Flat Alfred said.
IL we find nothing we'll have to stay
over night in town, 60 east short
distance in the morning, and then
take it west from here"
For the first two or three miles
their search was unrewarded by any
sign. Just at sunset, In windy little
vale, the lineman's practised eye
caught peculiar piecing Of the wire,
and he climbed nimbly to inspect it.
1t was not joining made by the regu-
lar force, but recent cut. The
marks of the climbers were also fresh.
rs there anything about 1t to dis
tinguish it from regular work?' AL
fred asked.
'You bet! Any chump could tell, If
he see it close, that it was the work
Of an amachure by the way the wires
are tied"
) That was something gained, but not
enough. How did the man get up
there?"
Before the man could reply Alfred's
eye was caught by the CLEAN of a
crescent of FURNISHED gold. Lying
half imbedded in the wet remains of
snowdrift, it's upper surface washed
clean and shining, he found cuff but
ton of a peculiar design-a star within
crescent, the two free points tipped
with diamonds. He knew it, he knew
who owned it's fellow! Turning it over
he saw the engraved initials, P. c.
Good enough" he called. 1--WE need
no more evidence. You can go on to
town for the night, or back to camp,
as you choose. I'll ride too hard for
you, perhaps" ...}
The man chose to turn back. Alfred
arranged for payment for the extra
work and again rode east.
In few minutes he arrived at the
Dutch Flat Office. and telegraphed AL
vim, asking of Phineas. Five minutes
later he was reading the reply:
"C.'s here, pacing the platform like
a mad gobbler. We did the leaving
trick for the regular train o. X. But
he thinks he's going on the special in
spite of fate" -.
Let him go in peace" Alfred wired
back; and Immediately sent a message
to the sheriff at Auburn that was an
swered after two hours as follows:
"Sherin's Office, Auburn. P. G. walked
into my arms as unsuspecting as q
lamb. He had no time to destroy in
eliminating evidence. Is now resting
noisily in the cooler" En-
Alfred stretched his weary legs and
went out into the cool evening. The
day had been stressful and bed
would have been welcome Yet Stella!
He looked into the overhead blue and
saw a young moon that; might last till
II o'clock. f..
"A light night! l can ride fast and
do it by $780," he said to himself with
sudden cheer. "Stella!"
A hasty snack at nondescript res
taurant, fresh horse and he was
again in the saddle, following the
stage track westward, re-riding the
miles that he might have an hour with
Stella-dear Stella, who had discov-
cred the plot and whose service to hu-
manity and to the Central Pacific Rail-
road company might never be known
to more than Alvin and himself. @

ion is that the demonstration by the

tioH Of universal suffrage, was merely
the beginning OF campaign which. in
view of the governments determination
20 adopt blood and iron methods. must

sequences.
The executive committee of the So
cialists has not announced any plans
but. according to unofficial statements
by prominent members OF the party. ar
.rangements are being made to inaugu-
rate a general strike in Berlin and its
neighborhood for FIVE consecutive DAYS
next week
Such a strike would bring to a stand
still the commercial and Industrial life Of
the capital and the surrounding towns.
Among the inconvenience that would be
caused would be the cutting of Of the
gas and electric-light services.
According TO the spokesman OF the So
cialists the strike is designed TO impress
on the government and the Diet the
enormous forces controlled by the Social
Democrats and the advisabIity OF conced-
ing their demands.
