a fishing line about 1t. Then he
drew from his pocket a section of
pipe from one OF the steam drills and
fastened the line to the cc3 of the
pipe.
Claire and her father came down
to watch the proceedings, and, with
quiet care, Breslin slipped the cap
on the gun and rested it in crotched
stick. There was ,eport, the line
whizzed out over the stakes. but the
projectile fell short
"I'll get It yet" he cried, as he
drew another cartridge fron his
pocket. II didn't want to send It SO
far that the cord would give out"
Slowly he drew back the line. 1t
was not an easy matter, for the float
ing trees threatened several times to
break the line. 1t was a quarter of
an hour before the projectile was
back on land and Dick was drying
It with his handkerchief.
This time there was a heavier re-
port, the black projectile rose in a
curve and fell on the opposite bank.
There ellis caught 1t and raised the
line out of the water.

"You ought to help me out any
how" he declared.
II won't" she said. "and Dick
doesn't know how"
Her dimpled chin squared itself
determinedly. Mr.. Carmichael know
what that meant. She inherited his
stubbornness, and he surrendered
unconditionally.
She drew Breslin aside ard whis-
pered for a moment. Then she went
back to their private car, while he
headed In the direction OF the tool
car.
Some whisper OF an attempt to
bridge the stream was passed about
and both ba~ ks were lined with
workmen as Breslin -etrrned.
"Going to shoot the box acrOss?"
demanded Cassidy. as he noticed
that Dick carried e.
Something like that" he ad-
mitted, as he proceede t. grease the
outside of the gun barrel.
Cassidy watched him In surprise.
But his surprise was nothin to his
amazement when Breslin began to

cross. yet the railroad must be
reached by 4 o'clock to catch the
overland. The main line was safe
and a messenger could get to New
York in plenty of time.
Breslin shared his employers
nervousness and ac- ompanied him in
his restless pacing until, from the
private car, there stepped a hooded
figure.
rs 1t still bad?" asked the girl as
he approached.
Worse, Claire. I don't think the
water will fall before tomorrow.
And 40 one will try for the re
ward?"
mo one seems anxious to try for
4 suicides grave" he laughed.
That's about what 1t would mean. )"
"WIll you go halves with me?"
she demanded suddenly.
Die Iogether?"
Claire shook her head.
Father said we could get married
when you had earned $4,000. 1t
will take you two years with this
construction gang to earn that much.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

| We can hurry it along"
I'm with you" he cried. What
is the idea?"
Lets arrange with dad first. "
They went toward the bank. Mr..
Carmichael paused to greet his
daughter.
You had better go back to the
car" he said. This weather is not
made for young women"
1T won't hurt me-" she said. "I'ye
a proposition to make. dad"
And that is?"
You told Dick that we could be
married when he had earne $1,000.
Then you put him with this construc-
tion gang, and II will take two years
for him to earn 1t at the salary you
pay him"
And you've Just discovered that
If / pay him more the time will be
shorter? This is a bad time for dis
coveries."
Claire shook her lead.
"Will you give us that reward If
we get the papers across for you?
Dick and l are partners. Well each
take half"

N DON'T care about the bridge SO
much" explained Dustan Car
michael, imDatiently. THAT is
annoying and expensive and all
that, but unless l can rush these pa
pers to New York in tine for the
meeting it will cost me pretty close
to $2,000,000. I'll give $1,000 to
any man who will cross the stream"
Il wouldn't do It for tie whole
$2,000,000," said Cassidy, the fore
man, decidedly. "Mebbe some Of the
boys wants to try. I'll ask EN-"
Dick Breslin looked at the raging
food. During the night there had
been cloudburst up in the noun
tains. The ordinarily shallow
stream vas swollen to a width of
800 feet and the tempo qry ra4.road
bridge had been swe- t a-,ay
Carmichael was practically ma

that is to say, they had AT
last succeeded in running down and
capturing the man on whose account
they were neglecting their several
occupations, ahd they were giving
themselves and their bronchoes a
breather preparatory to making ar
Tangements for the exit OF their pris-
oner. The iatter's crime--or misfor-
rune-consisted in having been seen
In company with a very fine sorrel
mare which everyone knew was the
property of Deaf Jim Burke.
The captors were not hurrying
matters; there was no need. The
members of the lynching party were
hot, but IN good temper. Life in that
choice region which lies between the
Rio Colorado and the Rio Grande del
Norte Is apt to become a trifle mo-
notonous, to degenerate into an ever
lastingly hot, dirty red vegetation OF
human existence. A lynching is no

about him. Though so near TO death
there was no fear, only sorrow, ex-

"Nothin'?" quered Sam, while his

Hooker as, with a semiapologetic
