ton. I'll build the line from Pines to
Nugget City myself, if you'll give US
track connection at Copperville and at
Pines, and will give US traffic con-
tract for our rolling stock on rea-
sonable basis"
Again Wilcox looked at the map.
The Silverknob and Nugget City road
began nowhere and ran nowhere, so
far as the larger transportation world
was concerned, and it could never fig
ure as competitor. The hundred
miles through the precious natural
pass known as the Yando chasm was
not so busy a stretch Of road as it
was important, and the revenue from
the passage Of the Silverknob and
Nugget City's trains would deduct
considerably from the expense Of
maintaining that much-prized key to
the golden West.
I'll take it up with Priestly and
German, promised Wilcox.
How soon can you let me know?"
Monday"
That afternoon saw Allison headed
back for New York, and the next
morning he popped into the offices of
the Pacific Slope and Puget Sound,
where he secured rental privilege to
run the trains of the Orange Valley
road into San Francisco, and down to
Los Angeles, over the tracks Of the
P. s. and r. S. The Orange Valley
was little, blind pocket Of road,
which made juncture with the P. S.
and P. s. just a short haul above San
Francisco, and it ran up into rich
fruit country, but its terminus was far.
far away from any possible connection
with a northwestern competitor, and
that bargain was easy.
That night Allison, glowing with an
exultation which erased his fatigue,
dressed to call on Gail Sargent.

RAISING HORSES FOR PROFIT
Every Available Sound Mare Should
Be Bred to Meet the Demand
Caused by European War.

Ever since the first days OF bicycles
some have thought that the breeding
of horses would become Improbable.
Meanwhile the horse has kept its place
among domestic animals and we now
have more than ever before With
the European war on us and so many
horses being killed in battle the near
future probably will see a greater
demand for horses than at any time
in the last century.
1t is not advisable to breed a mare
having serious defects, but every
sound mare available should be bred
to a stallion to produce stock to sup
ply the coming demand. Don't think
you are economizing to breed to some

GOOD MATERIAL FOR GROWTH
Alfalfa, Either in Green State or as
Hay, Is One of the Best Feeds for
the Young Pigs.

The pig which does not grow, but
merely gets fat, is likely to die of
'thumps." Corn makes fat The
small grains are richer in the things
that make the bone and muscle need

When the shoats reach the weights of

made Of one part OF tankage to ten
parts Of corn, or one Of the small

or crushed.
Alfalfa either in the green state or

Gil mark which Allison had drawn
from New York to Chicago and from;
Chicago to San Francisco. There:
were long gaps between them, but
these did not seem to worry him very;
much. 1t was the little stretches,
sometimes scarcely over an inch,
which he drew with such evident
pleasure from day to day, and now,
occasionally, as he passed in and out,
he stopped by the big globe and gave
it contemplative whirl. On the day
he joined his far western group Of
little marks by bridging three small
gaps, he received a caller in the per

who walked with cane and looked
half asleep, by reason of the many

Fish Gas.

At FrayBentos, in the Argentine, is
the largest kitchen in the world. Here
beef extract is made-40 pounds of
beef give one pound of extract. And
here, up to 1900, all the waste-all the
entrails and fat and SO forth-got
thrown into the River Plata.
The waste of 1000 bullocks thrown
daily into the Plata brought the fish
up from the sea to Fray Bentos in I'M
unbelievable thousands. Boats could
hardly advance for the silver waves
of fish. These fish could be caught
with shovels. witt scoops, with the
hand
The people or Fray-Bentos, in the
unparalleled abundance of the Argen-
tine, varied their free beef with free
fish, and in addition ground up daily
fish enough to light the entire district
with fish gas, a very clear .illuminant
made from fish OIL
But today they utilize at Fray-Bentos
every part of the bullock but the bel
low. Consequently the fish millions
of the past have deserted the river,
and fish gas, that romantic illuminant,
has beer supplanted by vulgar cleo
tricity.

CHAPTER vi.
Had They Spoiled Her?

Music resounded in the parlors of
Jim Sargent's house; music SO sweet
and compelling in its harmony that
Aunt Grace slipped to the head of the
stairs to listen in mingled ecstasy and
pride Up through the hallway f1oated
a clear, mellow soprano and a rich,
deep baritone, blended so perfectly
that they seemed twin tones Aunt
Grace, drawn by a fascination she
could not resist, crept down to where
she could see the source of the mel
ody. Gail, exceptionally pretty to-
night in her simple dove-colored gown
with it's one pink rose, sat at the
piano, while towering above her, with
his chest expanded and look of per
feet peace on his face, stood Rev.
Smith Boyd.
Enraptured, Aunt Grace stood and
listened until the close of the ballad.
ieafing through her music for the next
treat Gail looked up at the young doc
tor, and made some smiling remark.
Her shining brown hair, waving about
her forehead was caught up in a
simple knot at the ,eack, and the deli
cate color of her cheeks was like the
fresh glow of dawE. Rev. Smith Boyd
bent slightly TO answer, and he, too,
smiled as he spoke; but as ne hap
pened to find himself gazing deep into
the brown eyes Of Gail, the smile be-
gan to fade, and Aunt Grace Sargent,
scared, ran back up the stairs and into
her own room, where she took a book,
and held it in her lap upside down.
The remark which Gail had made was
this:
You should have used your voice
professionally"
The reply Of the rector was:
Il do"
II didn't mean oratorically," she
laughed, then returned nervously to
her search for the next selection. She
had seen that change in the smile. at
is so rare to find a perfect speaking
voice coupled with perfect singing
voice, she ratified on. Here's that
simple little May Song Just har-
mony, that's ALL"
Once more their voices rose in that
perfect blending which is the most
delicate Of all exhilarations. In the
melody itself there was an appealing
sympathy. and, in that moment, these
two were in as perfect accord as their
voices. There is something in the
music of the human tone which exerts
magnetic attraction like no other in
the world; which breaks down the bar
riers of antagonism, which sweeps
away the walls Of self-entrenchment,
which attracts and draws, which ex-
plains and does away with explana-
ton. This was the first hour they had
spent without a clash, and Rev. Smith
Boyd, his eyes quite blue tonight,
brought another stack of music from
the rack.
The butler, an aggravating image
with only one joint in his body, pa
raded solemnly through the hall, and
back again with the card tray, while
Gail and the rector sang "Juanita'
from an old college songbook, which
the Reverend Boyd had discovered in
high glee. Aunt Grace came down the
stairs and out past the doors of the
music salon. There were voices of
animated greeting in the hall, and
Aunty returned to the door just as the
rector was spreading open the book
at Sweet and Low"
Pardon me" beamed aunty

Michigan Alumni
Work to Build Club
House Worth Million

Thirty-fiva thousand Michigan alumni,
resident in all parts of the United States,
are being organized for a campaign to
raise a million dollars for a clubhouse
for the University OF Michigan union In
Ann Arbor, the seat of the university.
Each of 800 districts similar to Omaha
and vicinity has been allotted to a local
committee for work among the Michi-
ganders and their friends. The local COM
mittee is headed by r. c. Peters OF the
Peters Trust company.
by means OF energetic local solicitation
in these districts" said Mr.. Peters, 'the
general campaign committee for the union
plans to raise the entire 100000 in the
month of October. BY means of lunch
cons and banquets and smokers. the
Michigan men in every community will
be got together and the project laid be-
fore them. I don't think we shall have
any difficulty getting our pro rata share
from the Michigan men in.
THE union idea Is a development OF
the last ten years at Michigan end other
big universities. The organization has for
its purpose the promotion of democracy
among the students, a tremendous prob
lem on a campus populated by $500 stu
dents, and Of close relationship between
the university and its graduates and other
former students. The clubhouse will give
the students a meeting place on common
grounds, where equality of opportunity
will prevail, will add magnificent build
ing to Michigan's group OF structures, and
will provide headquarters and home for
the alumni when they revisit the campus
for games. reunions, and graduate day
affairs"
