Hi, Ole," he shouted to the solemn
i faced Swede who emerged from a
gloomy recess of the shop. I'VE went

"Ay dunno; Ay do my best; Ay do
what Ay can. A man can't do no
more" said Mr.. Olofson, gloomily.
We'll, get out the Oldest pistols and
cutlasses you have and some big
knives. Let's see what you've got,

"Ay dunno; Ay do my best; Ay do
what Ay can A man can't do no

gas jet and delving into his dusty
stock.

effect on the driver of the taxicab.
II look it, but l don't feel it yet
said Boyd, with deep meaning. There
is something lacking
What can 1t be?" asked Hicks.
About three fingers of red-eye," the
! sailor explained, pointing to a saloon

printer and that accounted for such of
his vocabulary as was respectable, He
took particular fancy to Hicks.
At last Owen intimated that he had
business proposition to discuss, and
they adjourned to the sidewalk.
"Do you want to earn some money!"
asked Hicks.
"Well, that depends" said Boyd,
doubtfully.
Easy money" suggested Owen,
That's the only kind worth going
after" said the sailor.
That's where we agree with you,
my friend" said Hicks. I'VE are after
easy money and plenty Of it. Plenty

That's the kind of talk | like to

horse or a dog or an OK to work, but
man ought to be above it. It's de-
grading, interferes with his pleasure
and wastes his time"
II feel the same way agreed Owen,
but somebody has got to work to make
shoes and food for u.s."
yes admitted the sailor regret
fully; there will always have to be
some work done, and I'm sorry for the
poor guys that must do It, But there 8
been too much work done. Why, the
stores are full Of food and clothes and
everything man needs. We ought to
break into the stores and take all there
| is and everybody go on a vacation until
| they are used up. The city owes us a
living and as long as it can pay the
debt what's the use of working? I'm
against the capitalist; I'm for the
poor laboring man, if he'll only STOP
laboring. Work is just habit. All
he's got to do is quit working and
make the capitalist divide up with
him."
Those sentiments are very noble,
said Owen. Its all very fine to wor.

Then they found table in the rear
of saloon where they could talk il
peace and unfolded their plan.
Boyd was to be introduced to a fool
ish young girl who had barrel Of
money He was to tell her a deepsea
yarn along certain lines, and Owen
and Hicks would take care of the rest
"The question u.s." said Owen

of the state includes the most extensive
marble industry in the United States
but strange as it may seem in so old
state as Vermont, the eastern part, as
stated in the bulletiH. is ga virgin field
where, in the lack of a general study
of the stratigraphy, the structure, the
palcont0logy, and the arcal geology, it
is at present not only impossible to de
termnc the area and position, Of many
of the beds, but also even the thickness
of some of the marble formations which
'are but partially exposed. Mr.. Dale
+ has personally examined most Of the
marbles of the area, which he discusses
| as to their texture, color, composition,
buses, etc.
The marbles of eastern Vermont
many of which are dolomitic. vary
widely in kind and character, and the
outcrops, though few i'll number, arc
scattered from the Massachusetts line
to the Canadian boundary. Many OF the
marbles are suited only for indoor orna
