"Fogarty, He'll" He Exclaimed.

Come over here, come along. / want
you to meet good friend. Here, Har-
vey, shake hands with Bill Dancing.
Bill, this is old Harvey Du Sang,
meanest man in the mountains to his
enemies and the whitest to his friends
--eh, Harvey?"
Harvey seemed communicative
Studying his hand, he asked in sour
way whether it was jackpot, and
upon being told that 1t was not, pushed
forward some chips and looked stu
pidly up-though Harvey was by no
means stupid. Proud to know you,
sir" said Bill, bending frankly as he
put out his hand. Proud to know any
friend of Murray Sinclair's. What
might be your business?"
Again Du Sang appeared distracted.
He looked up at the giant lineman.
who, in spite of his own size and
strength, could have crushed him be-
tween his fingers, and hitched his
chair little, but got no further to-
ward an answer and paid no attention
whatever to Bills extended hand.
Cow business, Bill" interposed Sin
clair. Where? Why, up near the
park, Bill, up near the park. Bill is an
old friend of mine, Harvey. Shake
hands with George Seagrue, Bill, and
you know Henry Karg-and old Stormy
Gorman-well, guess you know him,
too" exclaimed Sinclair, introducing
the other players. Look here min
ute, Harvey"
Harvey, much against his inclina-
ton, was drawn from the table and re-
tired with Sinclair and Dancing to an
empty corner, where Dancing told his
story again. At the conclusion of it
Harvey rather snorted. Sinclair
asked questions. WAS anybody else
there when you saw McCloud, Bill?"
Zone man." answered Bill, impress
sively.
'Who?"
"A stranger to me-"
"A stranger? What did he look
like?"
Slender man and kind of odd talk
ing, with sandy mustache."
Hear his name?"
"He told me his name, but it's
skipped me. declare. He's kind of
dark-complected like"
Stranger, eh?" unused Du Sang;
his eyes were wandering over the
room.
Slender man." repeated Bill, but
didn't take much notice OF him. Said
he was in the real estate business"
in the real estate business? And
did he sit there while you talked this
over with the college guy" muttered
Du Sang.
He Is all right, boys. and he said
you'd know his name IL could speak

Look anything like that man stand
ing with his hands in his pockets over
there by the wheel?" asked Du Sang,
turning his back carefully on a new.
conner as he made the suggestion.
"Where--there? No! Yes. hold on,
that's the man there now. Hold on,
now!" urged Bill, struggling with the
excitement OF ten hours and ten dol
lars in one day. His name sounded
like Fogarty."
AS Dancing spoke, Sinclair's eyes
riveted on the new face at the other
side OF the gambling room. "Fogarty.
hell!" he exclaimed, starting. Stand
right still, Du Sang; don't look around.

GLAD TO SEE HER.

Many friends OF Sister M. Boniface,
who recently returned from Altoona,
Wis, to resume charge of st. Alex
