CHAPTER IlI.-Continued.

"Your first business will be to learn more of the railroad. I'll ask our sec retary, MT Miller, to let you have i'm mediate access to the records. You'd better take a run over the road. That will speak louder in day than any other record could in a year. As soon as possible you'll go to San Francisco, get in touch with the Me Lane crowd, McCoppin and our other enemies there and learn what you can of their plans against us." He glanced at the superintendent. How can we wedge him in there the quickest, Crocker? It won't do for me to in troduce him."

 Some further instructions ensued and the conference ended. And Alfred was soon engrossed in minutes of di- rectors' meetings, supreme court de- cislons, newspaper reports and con- ments, state and national legislation everything that would aid in making him master of the history of the road He worked fast and thoroughly. in spired anew with enthusiasm for the great business to which he had prom- ised allegiance

Instantly banter and familiarity van ished, and Jake Bennett became the quiet. lynx-eyed overseer. They had surprised the men working we'll under the temporary foreman; yet Uncle Billy saw a sweep of fresh energy speed down the line, as the under man took up his hammer and Bennett swiftly examined the work done in his absence. He spoke scarcely a word, but his straight eye saw every poor joint, each badly set chair" and his own hands often assisted in the read justing.
 When he returned to the end of the section where Uncle Billy was waiting he said, "The boss has powerful good news to-day.

his brain: "No mans comfort snouio count against railroad business" That decided him. To stay meant one day later in San Francisco, one day less to study situation where any hour might be the hour of fate for the Cen tral Pacific railroad.
 The fussy little engine was now facing west, waiting it's message rom the lever. The signal sounded and the train was starting when a barefooteo boy came blowing round the rear car carrying a small package and ln' formed the conductor breathlessly that it was for that dandy feller that went off this morning with the boss"
 "Here!" cried Alfred, reaching down as the boy ran alongside. Alfred caught the parcel and threw a coin to the bearer.
 The train labored slowly up the grade and around the hill while Al fred united his package. It was a neat luncheon; and wrapped in the folded napkin was spray of wild for get-me-not. From Stella! Impulsively he lifted the blossom to his face, and in the action caught the flutter Of a woman's gown high on hill that over topped the track. There stood Stella granite boulder for her lookout, be hind her a shining laurel. Her hat hung by it's ribbons, her cheeks were glowing from her hurried climb, and the wind fluttered her full skirts and tossed her shining hair. She waved her handkerchief as the train passed

BUYING PAINT sLINpLy.

Adulterants in white leoa can be easily found by the use of . blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed o;, car be detected with a fair degree of certainty. See that these two elements are pure and properly put on and tbs paint will stay put.

sharply The noon hour had almost passed. T guess you can find your way back alone. I'm needed here"
 Aren't you going back-going somewhere for dinner, MT. Gregory ?''
 No. l guess my stomach's as fast proof as yours" Already his alert eye was elsewhere, and Alfred knew himself dismissed.
 The superintendent snapped to his watch cover, regardless of the spring. Blast that Simms! His gangs the last on duty again! Goodbye, MT. Vincent. Come and look us over again" he called. and dashed off toward the of lending foreman. As Alfred passed on the trail below the superintendent's far-audible ire followed him, unique word panorama, expressible only in dashes and stars.
 Muscle-sore, Alfred alighted from his steaming bronco at the depot only five minutes before two. No time for Stel. la unless he stayed over night. Should he do it? Indeed, ought he not t,, re- main to see with his own eyes how she was circumstanced in this rough town? He remembered his promise to Uncle Billy. MT.

 After dinner, sir? The train leaves at two o'clock, doesn't it?"
 Yes; but you'll not go back today. will you?"
 Cant I get to the Front and back by two?"
 NO, not to the Front; yet you can see nearly all of the completed grade if you start at once. Yo'll miss your dinner, though"
 q don't wish to incommode you, sir. Could not some other person conduct me? Dinner is unimportant. l must return today if possible"
 A shade of approbation crept into the superintendent's keen glance. Very well, MT. Vincent. I'll have your horse in ten minutes. You ride? Our stock is cantankerous at times."
 T ride little; if not well enough, I'll have to walk"
 "Plucky!" thought the older man, as he dispatched a messenger for Alfred's horse and employed the wait in send ing telegrams to the Sacramento office. Meantime Alfred wrote short note to Stella explaining his haste and tell ing her that he would be at the hotel for a moment before he left in the afternoon, if possible. He had slipped the note with coin into the stable boys hand and was in the saddle when the superintendent came out of the hot little box that did duty as a telegraph office, and the two were quickly out on the grade.

Alfred stopped his horse and looked back through the deep cut, across the deep CT ravine where the bridge-builders were at work That spider web looks wickedly frail" he added.
 Its strong enough to hold our fly till we meet our time limit Plenty of time for stiffening up and filling in afterward."
 The horses hoofbeats were now ringing clear on bare granite. Where do you get earth for your fills? The trees here don't seem to have root hold against a summer zephyr"
 That's one of my small troubles. Sometimes we have to go half a mile afield for soil. And carts-they can t make 'em fast enough. I've got 2,500 men and 300 carts; but we'll have to double that at once if we make our 50 miles on time. And where under the canopy the men are to come from 1 can't see.

The Coming of Uncle Billy.

The Coming of Uncle Billy.
 Down the rain-soaked street of the railroad village hastened an alert youth carrying a yellow paper. Where all was hurry, one flying figure more CT less would not have been noticed; but this one carried a crutch; one foot was turned backward and hung high above the ground. Yet one forgot to be sorry for the cripple, so quick was he, so shining with good nature. Every one called him "boy," though he was 20.
 Hello, Al! Whats yo hurry?" asked bystander. You can do mo with stick an foot than most folks with two good laigs."
 "Aw, spare my bushes, MT. Ben nett! Say, is the old man in the hotel?"
 Yes. Can't yo let him swalleh his dinneh in peace? He don't need but five minutes; an it aint often he gifts lick at Sally B.'s chicken fixin's. He wouldn't today if that thar ornery train want two hours late.'

 Thought yo' all want lowed tc read the yalleh .lighltRiin-,l1 aru | g1v,ua it away Sabe?" The boy barely halted and was at the dining room door when Gregory | came out.
 Whats the racket, Al?" he said "A message for me-" He spoke a little thickly, his mouth full of a fast dis. appearing apple. The message was brief; and his comment was an explosion of oaths. Yet the boy grinned. It was glad pro. | fanity
 Do you know what's in this, Al?" Yes. sir; l couldn't help it." "How's that?"
 I've learned the telegraph since I've been messenger" The dickens you say! Whats your speed?"
 T get most of the press dispatches. sir" How about sending?" Not so good, sir; but I'll soon catch up if" He stopped abruptly.
 If what?"
 Ia rather not say, sir On account of the operator?"
 Hes an o. K. friend to me, sir"
 "Hm! The superintendent mounted and was in full gallop toward the sta ton before he was quite seated. q shant forget you, boy" he called back over his shoulder.
 Jake Bennett and Alvin Carter walked to the station together. They arrived at the station just as the train pulled in.
 The first passenger through the car door was Uncle Billy.
 Why. durn my eyes! What re vo' all doin' hyah, Bill Dodge?" asked Ben. nett as Uncle Billy stepped to the platform.
 The two shook hands, but Bennett turned away with a hurried word and disappeared within the station.
 Uncle Billy gazed blankly toward the office, his face clouding with a dis. appointment that did not lift while he attended to his scant baggage.
 The superintendent came out short. ly, giving nasty orders to Bennett as the two walked toward the big roan known as the Boss Lightning Striker" They passed Uncle Billy: but Bennett's face was a mask till the roan clattered out of sight, when he turned back, another soul looking from his eyes.
 How air yo' pegs fo' walkin'. you ole bronco buster?" Bennett questioned in a hearty voice, slapping his heavy hand on Uncle Billy's shoulder
 They set off briskly and in single file up the steep cutoff that made in one mile the elevation of five miles of grading. What kin l do for yo' all, you rotary eyed Gle coon?" Bennett asked with

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

q Nature and a womnn'S work corn- bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known.
 In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmethers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
 The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia k. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and effica. cious than any combination ofdrugs.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St., Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what suffered, and at times could hardly walk. About two years ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkhams advice re- stored health and strength. It IS worth mountains of gold to suffering women."
 What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegee. table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women.
