CHAPTER XVIII. The Battle on the Desert.

Out in the sage-coyered wilds horde of pigmies charged the ice bound earth with pick and powder. Fighting desperately against endless malignant obstacles, George Gregory forged on toward Salt Lake, the goal of his dreams.
 Side by side. mile after mile. the rival companies ran their grades, the Central Pacific working steadily east. the Union Pacific rushing west from their main front, and pushing east with the grade they had begun at Humboldt Wells. They hoped to out run their rivals and meet their own iron far west of Salt Lake.
 Thus the days sped Gregory's life became profane prayer for iron. For ten days his men worked but four hours a day. The rest of the time they slept, visited or tramped. A few Quarreled, some gambled on the sly. Yet these men averaged well, and it was not for them Gregory held his sleepless vigilance. but for the tide of riff-raf setting westward from the on coming Union Pacific, from the remote mines and camps. and taking toll of mischief as it passed.
 One night, worn with fruitless court ship of sleep, Gregory rose and went put into the desert cold, striding hoiselessly down the sleeping tented town. He turned the other way. passed the boarding train, the com missary, the shops, and on by the Chinese camps. Returning. a slight noise caught his ear as he neared the wheeled bakery He stopped, listened. and sent his lantern ray against the door. It was ajar.
 Presently a man came out with a loaf of bread and climbed down the steps into Gregorys light. He was q recent conner, thick, sturdy. with beetling brows and fierce, resentful eyes.
 What are you doing here?" thun. dered Gregory.
 T walked too far to get back for supper, and went for some bread" the man answered readily enough.
 How'd you open the door? Wasn't 1t locked?"
 Yes, sir; but got the key. l."
 He got no farther. Gregory dropped his lantern and flew at him. Hot an. ger and the power of authority rein forced Gregory's more than usual strength. He rained blows and invec. tive on the offender; listed him and booted him; kicked him under the wagon finally. with a last irate charge
 Lie there, you dog, till daylight, ii you want to; but be out of this camp before see you again, you son of iniquity! Blast your eyes! I'll see if stealing can't be stopped here,"
 Gregory hurried away, but not fast enough to escape the mans defiant re- 5oinder: Taking loaf of bread in place of supper's no stealing. I'll be even with you for this, you damned slaye-driver,"
 The voice was weak, but Gregory felt the venom, and it's threat.
 There's man under the bakery that I've ordered out of camp" he said to the watchman, as the two met See that he goes; but give him this-on the quiet, you understand" The watch man took the five dollars. He's only worked two days; there won't be much coming to him. poor devil" the superintendent said eompassionateIy. It was this side of Gregory's varied character that won for him the ale glance and service of the men he drove hard. though less hard than he drove himself.

LAST SPEECH OF JEFFERSON DAVIS in
THE SENATE.

Tx President Jefferson Davis is apt to be re-
membered only as the leader of lost cause. The
following will be read with interest by the Enter
prise readers who were interested on each side of
the fracas of the sixties.
Today Jan. 81 is the anniversary of one of
the most memorable speeches ever delivered in the
United States senate, and that fact is recalled by
many aged men of Washington who lived in the
national capital during those troubled times. 1t
was on January 81, 1861, that Jefferson Davis who
later led the lost cause to defeat in his place
in the senate chamber and solemnly announced the
secession of his state Mississippi from the Union,
and his withdrawal from the senate.
Those who heard the momentous address of
Jefferson Davis declare that it was masterpiece
of oratorv, not impassioned not vindictive, but
Astounding in expressions of love fer his former
colleagues and associations. 1t brought tears to
the ewes of many senator's and after its conclusion
nearly every member of the august body crowded
around the tall, thin, towering form of the Mssis
sippi statesman and shook his hand in farewell.
The address was grave and earnest and delivered
with all the courtly grace of Southern gentleman
of the old school, but the force of the orator did
not serve TO hide the depths of feeling and emotion
that animated the man.

The Washington Government is putting on
style that become great nation.
Each Congressman now has spacious private
office deliberately furnished with solid mahogany
in the beautiful white marble office building just
completed at approximate cost of 81, 600, 0OOO
to the United States Government, which is one of
the many imposing structures at the National Cap
ital which serves to remind of the ever present
comparison of our nation to the old Roman Empire.
1t was said one of the Caesars found Rome built of
brick and left it a city of marble. None can ever
say that America has not builded well and that
she has been unmndful of her high destiny as the
greatest nation on the globe, for the grandeur of
Washington rival the city of the Caesars.
Now who wouldn't like to be congressman
and what congressman wouldn't like to remain
