the day before at Cold Springs that
pleased him.
The men In the Number Eight mine
had determined to get rid OF some
Italians. and after a good deal of
rowing had started in to catch one of
them and hang him! They had chosen
a time when McCloud, the assistant
superintendent of the mine, was down
with mountain fever. 1t was he who
had put the Italians into the mine.
He had already defended them from
injury, and would be likely, it was
known, to do SO again if he were able.
On this day a mob had been chasing
the dagos, and had at length captured
one. They e running him down
the street to a telegraph pole when
the assistant superintendent appeared
IN scant attire and stopped them.
Taking advantage of the momentary
confusion, he hustled their victim into
the only place of refuge at hand, a
billiard hall. The mob rushed the
hall. In farthest corner the UNI
lucky Italian, bleeding like a, bullock
and insane with fright. knelt, clinging
to McCioud's shaky knees. In trying
to make the back door the two had
been cut off, and the sick boss had
got into a corner behind a pool table
to make his stand. In his pocket he
had a pistol, knowing that to use it
meant death to him as well as to the
wretch he was trying to save. Fifty
men were yelling in the room. They
had rope, hatchets, a s%prinkling Of

She refined up at a little distance.
McCloud bent over the man a mo-

mountains from her far-away Wiscon-
sin home. Within a year he had
broken her heart so far as it lay in
him to do It, but he could not break
her charm nor her spirit. She was too
proud to go back, when forced to
leave him, and had set about earning
her own living in the country to which
she had come as a bride. She put on

Cold Springs. where Sinclair had

had proved a hopeless place for the
millinery business-at least, in the
way that Marion ran it. She could,
however, cook extraordinarily we'll,
and. with the aid of a servant-maid
could always provide for a boarder or
two-perhaps a railroad man or a
mine superintendent to whom she
could serve meals, and who, like all
mountain men, were more than gener-
GUS in their accounting with women.
Among these standbys of hers was
McCloud. McCloud had always been
her friend, and when she left Cold
Springs and moved to Medicine Bend

street near Fort, she had lost him.

unknown at the time, but destined
within a few years to be scattered far
and wide as constructionists with
records made in the rebuilding opera
tons through the Rocky mountains,
none was less likely to attract atten-
ton than McCloud. Bucks, who, in
deed, could hardly be reckoned so
much of the company as its head, was
a man of commanding proportions
physically. Like Glover, Bucks was a
giant In stature, and the two men,
when together, could nowhere escape
notice; they looked, in a word, their

could hold large combinations of traf-

and by intuition reach the result Of a
given problem before other men could
work it out, was, like Morris Blood,
the master of tonnage, of middle age.
