boy sighed heavily. It was the hour
in which hope reaches It's lowest ebb
and vitality Is weakest. He was very
cold and very miserable.
"You amt got no edge on me-" the
other acknowledged. mournfully. 'T'm
too young to die, and that's bet"
Suddenly the pandemonium in the
bunk-house was pierced by the bra
zen jangle Of an alarm-clock, whereat
a sleepy voice cried:
CLOUDY, kill that -- clock!"
"The Indian uttered some indistin-
guishable epithet, and the next instant
there came crash as the offending
timepiece was hurled violently against
the wall.
In silence Glass showed his unsteady
victim ahead of him out into the dawn.
In the east the sun was rising amid
a riotous splendor. At any other time,
under any other circumstances, Speed
could not have restrained his admira-
ton. for the whole world was glori-
GUS sparkling panoply of color. But
to the stiff and wearied Eastern lad 1t
was all cruelty mocking. When he
halted listlessly to view its beauties
he was goaded forward, ever forward,
faster and faster, until finally, amid
protests and sighs and complaining
joints, he broke into a heavy, flat-foot,
ed jog-trot that jolted the artistic
sense entirely out of him.

That evening. when the clock
struck nine, J. Wallingford Speed was
ready and willing to drag himself of

Fresno was waiting to take his place
in the hammock. He was racked by
thousand pains, his muscles were

It seemed to Speed that he had
