about them carefully and listening atten-
lively for any sound that might denote the
presence of man. They paused al the cabin
door, and then knocked. Repeated knocks
brought no response. This silence from
within appeared strange, in view OF the fresh
fire. At last they resolved TO break into the
houscboat; but the first blow against the
door was met with a warning from within.
Don't break the door down, said a
voice. I'll open it,
Soon the door was opened. The OCCu-
pant, clad in the usual proSpectors costume,
glanced at the two men, motioned them TO
enter, and then. without another word, went
TO his bunk and threw himself heavily upon
it, face downward.
The visitors looked at each other, marvel
ing at the attitude of their host. Silently
they gazed within the cabin. 1t was indeed
we'll stocked with food Row after row Of
canned cdibles was neatly arranged upon
shelving, and everywhere there was evidence
of comfortable living considering the local
ity. The cracking logs gave a cheer TO the
cabin that singularly contrasted with the
attitude OF their host.
They shook him; but he remained as if
inscnSblc.
Let me alone" he repeated without
moving. Don't bother me, Gentlemen,
am dying! Let me die in peace"
Dying? Both men were surprised. There
was no evidence about the reclining man 10

with a crack on Jim SHADES knuckles, which

round them as the bills fluttered to the floor.
Damn YOU for that, Bob Nlarston.' he
said. and pushed himself to his feet, his fat
body shaking with rage.
Pick up your dirty money and get out
of my office quick Marston'S voice was
pitched in the usual conversational tone.
"AIel You order me out, the man that

Slade gathered the money into a wad,
counted it, slipped the wallet back into his
pocket, and picked up his hat from the floor.
"We'd been thinking Of putting you up for
Governor next time, Bob, he said.
"Thanks. You have the key to the door,
| believe. Please unlock it.
Slade jammcd his hat over his ears and
started across the room. At the table he
halted, banged the mahogany with his fist,
and, "You understand" he snared. I'm
done forever" He started for the door just
as Miss Middleton stepped from behind the
screen and confronted him.

All right; but, Just to make sure, we'll
take this whole matter up with the Old Man,
and have the agreement in writing.

raised one hand, as if to throw himself upon
her mercy. .,

Miss Middleton. "the Old Man. as you

"Ill attend to it, said Slade, for the first

way out, coughing and putting.

an impulsive gesture threw herself into his

The bell on the wall rang with resonant
clattcr, announcing that the hour of noon
had arrived, and that the House had con-
vcncd; but it might just as well have been
a thousand miles away. Finally MarSton
held her off at arms length, and looked long
into her eyes.
"By Joye," said he, but YOU would make

I've picked up considerable law around

unusual as there are generally
on a proposition Of this kind, a
few knockers to vote against it,
but the vote cast proves that
the Max citizens are broad. mind

and the ''1O8 to 0" backing is
ONE that is gratifying and one
that the Hanna county boost

that has become a common sub;

they could come before the peo-

the reaso they could not stand
