You know what mean, George"
To McCloud the news came, In spite
Of himself, as blow. The results he
had attained in building through the
lower valley had given him name
among the engineers of the whole line.
The splendid showing of the winter
construction, on which he had de.
pended to enable him to finish the
whole work within the year, was by
this news brought to naught. Those
OF the railroad men who said he could
not deliver completed line within
the year could never be answered now
And there was some slight bitterness
in the reflection that the very STUN
bling-block to hold him back, to rob
him of his chance for reputation
with men like Glover and Bucka,
should be the lands Of Dicksie Dun

grave. Once when he was bantering
with her at Marion's she tried to say
something about her regret that COM
plications over the right OF way
should have arisen; but McCloud made
light of 1t, and waved the matter aside
as II he were cavalier. Dicksie did
not like it, but 1t was only that he
was afraid she would realize he was a
mere railroad superintendent with
hopes Of record for promotion quite
blasted. And as IL this obstacle to a
greater reputation were not enough. a
wilier enemy threatened in the spring
to leave only shreds and patches Of
what he had already earned.

down and past him as If the light upon
his face were too bright. Before she
would start away she made him re-
mount, and he said good-by only after
half a promise from her that she
would show him sometime trail to
the top Of Bridger's Peak, with a view
of the Peace river on the east and the
whole Mission range and the park
country on the north. Then she rode
away at an amazing run.
McCloud galloped toward the pass
with one determination-that he would
have horse. and good one, one that
could travel with Jim. II 1t cost him
his salary. He exulted as he rode, for
the day had brought him everything
he wished. and humiliation had been
swallowed up in triumph. It was near

sharp slap at his hat. Instinct works
on all brave men very much alike.

Hearing the Voice Of God.

Good living depends upon good list
ening to the voice of God. For we alt
need to learn how to live as we
should; and, while we can learn 4
great deal by experience there are
some things that experience alone Will
never teach us. Those are the things
that God would speak directly to us, ii
only we will give him hearing. a
child of God who makes no provision
in his life for times of waiting upon
God, and listening for what God may
have to say to him, is losing truth and
guidance and blessing that would en-
rich his life. Our times OF prayer
ought not to be merely opportunities
for us to talk to God; they must be (
times of listening as well, If we would

CHAPTER XIV.
A Test.


Du Sang had the sidewise gait OF
wolf, and crossed the street with the
choppy walk of the man out of a
long saddle. Being both uncertain and
quick, he was man to slip a trail
easily. He travelled around the block
and disappeared among the many open
doors that blazed along Hill street.
Less alert trailers than the two be-
hind him would have been at fault;
but when he entered the place he was
looking for. Kennedy was SO close
that Du Sang could have spoken to
him had he turned around.
Kennedy passed directly ahead. A
moment later Whispering Smith put
his head inside the door Of the joint
Du Sang had entered, withdrew it,
and, rejoining his companions, spoke
in an undertone: "a negro dive; he's

easy! Farrell, you're hrst!'
The dive, badly lighted and venti-
lated, was counted tough among tough
places. White men and colored mixed
before the bar and about the tables.
when Smith stepped around the
screen and into the flare Of the hang
ing lamps, Du Sang stood in the small
corner below the screened street vim
dow. McCloud, though vitality inter.
ested in looking at the man that had
come to town to kill him, felt his at
tentfon continually wandering back
to Whispering Smith. The clatter of
the rolling dice, the cultural jargon
of the negro gamblers. the drift Of
men to and from the bar, and the
clouds OF tobacco smoke made hazy
background for the stoop-shonldered
man with his gray hat and shabby
coat, dust-covered and trayei.stained.
