SYNOPSIS.

On Misery creek Sally Miller fnds
George Lescott. landscape painter, un-
conscious. Jesse Puryy Of the Holman
clan has been shot and Samson Is sus-
pected of the crime. Samson denies it.
The shooting breaks the truce in the
Hollman-South feud. Jim Holman hunts
with bloodhounds the man who shot Pur-
Wy: The bloodhounds lose the trail at
Spicer South's door. Lescott discovers
artistic ability in Samson. While sketch
ing with Lescott on the mountain, Tama-
rack discovers Samson to a Jeering crowd
OF mountaineers. Samson thrashes him
and denounces him as the "truce-bus-
ter" who shot Purvy. At Vile Nc
Cager's dance Samson tells the South
clan that he is going to leave the
mountains. Lescott goes home to New
farewell and follows. In New York Sam
son studies art and learns much of city
ways. Drennie Lescott persuades Will
fred Horton. her dilettante lover, to do a
mans work in the world. Prompted by
her love. Sally teaches herself to write.
Horton throws himself into the business
world and becomes well hated by preda-
tory f1nanciers and politicians. At Bo-
hemian resort Samson meets William Far
Dish, sporty social parasite, and Horizons
enemy. Farbish sees Samson and Dren-
ME dining together unchaperoned at the
Wigwam roadhouse. He conspires with
others to make Horton Jealous and sue

that Horton would not listen to his
condolences. The delegated spokes-
man warned Wilfred that Samson
South had spoken pointedly of him,
and advised cautious conduct. In a
fashion calculated to infiame.
Samson, it was falsely alleged, had
accused him Of saying ierogatory
things in his absence, which he would
hardly venture to repeat in his pres
ence. In short. 1t was put to Horton
to announce his opinion openly, or eat
the crow of cowardice.
That evening, when Samson went
to his room, Farbish Joined him.
I've been greatly annoyed to find"
he said, seating himself on Samson
bed, that Horton arrived today"
Il reckon that's all right" said Sam
son. He's a member, isn't her.
Farbish appeared dubious.
Il don't want to appear in the guise
of a prophet of trouble" he said, but
you are my guest here, and | must
warn you Horton thinks of you as a
gun-fighter' and a dangerous man.
He won't takes chances with you.
If there is a clash, it will be serious.
He doesn't often drink, but today
he's doing it, and may be ugly Avoid
an alteration If you can. but if it
comes" He broke of aud added seri-

with the preliminaries settled, he who
had struck Samson in the face must
give satisfaction for the blow. Horton
was sober. as cold sober as though ne
had jumped into ice-water. and though
he was not in the least afraid, he was
mortified, and, had apology at such q
time been possible. would have made
it. He knew that he had misjudged
his man; he saw the outlines of the
plot as plainly as Samson had seen
them, though more tardily.
Samson's toe touched the pistol
which had dropped from Farbish's
hand and he contemptuously kicked 1t
to one side. He came back to his
place.
Now. Mr.. Horton" he said to the
man who stood looking about with a
dazed expression, "if you're still of the
same mind. can accommodate you.

like was, and"-he paused, then
added--"and I'm ready either TO fight

For the moment. Horton did not
speak, and Samson slowly went on:
But, whether we fight or not. you've
got to shake hands with me when we're
finished. You and me amt going to
start no feud. This is the first time
I've ever refused to let man be my
enemy If he wanted to. I've got my
reasons. I'm going to make you shake
hands with me whether yoa like 1t or
not but if you want to fight first it's
satisfactory. You said awhile ago you
would be glad to be more explicit with
me when we were alone" He paused
and looked about the room. Shall l
throw these damned murderers out of
here, or will you go into another room
and talk?"
Leave them where they are" said
Horton, quietly. Wen go into the
reading-room. Have you killed any of
them?"

When they were alone, samson

t1undred-Foot Standard.

The Western Society of Engineers
has had prepared a 100-foot length
standard, which 1t has presented to
the city Of Chicago. This standard is
a steel rod 102 feet long, two inches
wide and half an inch in thickness.
which rests on rollers secured to sub
stantial brackets fixed to the wall The
graduatlons, which were established
by Prof. L. A. Fischer Of the United
States bureau of standards, Washing
ton, were at zero, one foot, one yard,
one meter, ten feet, rs feet, so feet, 50
feet. 20 meters, 30 meters and 100
feet, and at each of these points a disk
of an alloy of 80 per cent platinum and
ten per cent iridium SIG inch In
diameter was inserted in the rod flush
with it's surface, the exact division
point being marked on the disk. The
work of graduation proved remarkably
accurate, as is shown by the correction
table furnished for use in connection
with comparisons of measures.
