ACTED AS A MAN
BY. w. n. CLINTON.

Nobody in the logging camp knew
why Big Pierre and Happy Jake had
quarreled-nobody except those two
themselves. They had been the best
of friends, though i'll assorted. Big
Pierre, quiet, grave, simple, and Hap
by, so called from his hilarity when
he returned from pay-night visits to
Mulligan's shack, where whisky was
dispensed in violation of the laws OF
Maine.
The cause of the quarrel was as
elemental as those Of all quarrels
among the lumbermen. Happy n
Pierre had discovered that. each
loved the same girl; more accurate
ly, Pierre had won Mignonne away
from Jake, though till Jake pulled
her photograph from his coal and
cursed his unknown supplanter he
himself had not known who was the
man he had succeeded in Mignonne's
affections.
That they did not fight it out was
because it was too serious a matter.
Happy intended to think out his plans,

heart that, when Happy gave the
signal, he must be prepared to do
battle, even to the death, should
Happy demand it.
1t. was pay-night and Pierre sat
moodily beside his bunk. He was
wondering what Happy would do.
Then shouts were heard and in
rushed a crowd of lumbermen.
"Pierre!" they yelled. You're the
only man has power over Happy.
He's in Mulligan's, fighting drunk,
and therell be murder done unless
you get him away"
Instantly their quarrel was forgot
ten. Big Pierre reached Mulligan's
just as Happy staggered to the
threshold, flashing a long lumberman's
knife.
"Happy!" cried Pierre. Come
with me. You are not a match for
all that crowd. Comet"
For answer Happy lunged at him.
Pierre lodged and ran into the pine

woods, Happy laundering behind him.
Crafty Pierre was trying to draw
Happy away from Mulligan's.
Happy pursued him like a mad bull,
stabbing at him with the long knife.
Pierre saw that he must act decisive
1y. He turned suddenly, lodged the
knife, and sent Happy sprawling with
a blow on the point Of the chin.
Happy gasped and went down like
q pole-axed OK. Pierre, approaching
cautiously, disarmed him. Then he
saw that blood was pouring from
Happy's throat.
The blow was enough to kill a
man, and Pierre had put all his force
into it. He must have ruptured an
artery, for Happy was bleeding to
death. His eyes closed; his head
fell back. He breathed stertorously.
. Pierre tried to recall him to Con-
seriousness but in vain. Then. bind
ing a handkerchief tightly round his
enemy's throat, he took Happy upon
his back.
The nearest doctor lived fifteen
miles away, and Pierre started on
the tramp along the trail. 1t was
ten o'clock in the evening and twenty
degrees below zero. 1t might reach
forty below by midnight, for the
thermometer was falling rapidly and
there was that peculiar stiffness in
the air which indicates the approach
of intense cold. :
For the first mile Pierre made
light of his burden, but soon he was
staggering painfully through the
snow. Presently he felt a well-known
sensation in his right foot. 1t felt
as though it were a prop that did
not belong to him.
Pierre set down his burden and
glanced at it. Happy was still alive.
Pierre rubbed his foot until the cir
culation started; then he chafed
Happy's hands, which were al cold
as the snow. The fingers dropped
stifiy, like wooden prongs. He took
Happy upon his back again.
The trees cracked with the frost,
the stars cleaned icily. Mile after

longer stopped to chafe his limbs, for
he knew that unless he reached the
doctors speedily he would be a muir

He had acted in self-defense, but still,
he had killed Happy, or all but killed
him.
He trudged On mechanically, only
his will sustaining him. He felt the
burden no longer. for the ache in his

From the blue prints, the affair
looks exceedingly simple A frame

where the next meal is coming from.
Thousands of men and women in
Los Angeles today are existing In a
hand-to-mouth sort of way because. in
order to hold their jobs at all, they
are obliged to work for wage so
small that it will barely buy some OF
the necessities, let alone any of the
comforts of life.

Much could be done to remedy these

The Question Of United Charities.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
When any agitation is made for
new form of charities in Keokuk
there arises certain objections-obvi-
GUS ones-such as, Can we aft I'd
it?' "Will it really be benefit" rs
not enough being done at present 2"
There comes to mind the old, old
truth, The poor we have always with
us" and the question whether we
can really do anything more toward
solving that eternal problem.
There will perhaps always be a
poorer class, but nevertheless pow
erty does not mean today what it
meant thousand or hundred years
ago. Once the poor were exploited
and downtrodden by those above
them, they starved to death during
famines and died like flies in times
Of pestilence. The criminals and the
insane roamed at large while little
! children were hanged and men and
women burned in the so-called execu-
ton of Justice Such cond lions VIII oh

race Itself, but by concerted action
and by the awakening Of the whole
public's conscience. The modern
method of fighting the contagious

been proved ineffective
There are in Keokuk today condd
tions that call for the combined at

people of the town. rather than the
utmost help that any Individual OF
