of despair when he contemplated the
possibility Of failure with the goal al
most In sight; and the reaction, when
. he stumbled upon the negro skulking
in the shadows of lumber cargo, was
sharp enough to make him faint and

The negro did not recognize him at

CHAPTER vIn.

Half an hour or such a matter after
the hue-and-cry runaway from the
curb in front of the saloon two doors
above, Mr.. Abram Sonneschein, dealer
in secondhand clothing and sweat
shop bargains, saw a possible Gus
toner drifting across the street, and
made ready the graphing hooks of
commercial enterprise.
There was little suggestion of the
tramp roustabout, and still less, per-
haps. of the gentleman, about the per-
son who presently emerged from the
Sonneschein emporium. A square far

ing the retail district. he strolled past
many brilliantly lighted shops until
he found one exactly to his liking. A
courteous salesman caught him up at
the door. and led the way to the des-
ignated departments.
BY this time Mr.. Sonneschein's hes.
liant and countrified customer had un.
dergone complete metamorphosis
No longer reluctant and hard to
please, he passed rapidly from coun.
ter to counter, making his selections
with manlike celebrity and certainty
and bargaining not at all. When he

All traces of the deck-hand Gavitt
and of the Sonneschein planter-cus
toner having been obliterated, there
remained only the paying of his bill
and the summoning of cab. Oddly
enough, the cab, when 1t came, proved
to be four-wheeler driven by little
wizen-faced man whose thin, high
pitched voice was singularly familiar
"The Hotel Chouteau?-yis. sorr

The drivers excuse instantly tied
the knot Of recognition. and the man

Des Moines.--Fred Mcintyre, a far

When the sittings we're finally de-

she told him; and then. in naive con-
fusion: Il asked poppa to make out

Raymer took the order to pay,
glanced at the amount, and from that
to the velvety eyes with the half

weapon. With them she could look

"Oh, please don't!" she pleaded. III
it is really too much. can't you put the
difference in the missionary box. or in

Thus the small matter OF business
was concluded; but Miss Margery was
not yet ready to go. From st. Johns
and its affairs official she passed, deity
to the treasurer of St. Johns and
his affairs personal. Was the machine

steam engines and things? And did

Reymer smiled and put himself once
more at her service. this time az guide
and megaphonist. H was all very
noisy and grimy, but ii she cared to go
through the works he would be glad
to go with her.
He did not know how glad he was
going to be until they had passed
| through the clamorous machine shop
and had reached the comparatively
quiet foundry. One of Miss Margery's
gifts was the ability to become for the
moment an active and sympathetic
sharer In anyone's enthusiasms. In
the foundry she looked and listened,
and was unsophisticated only to the
degree that invites explanation. It
was master-stroke Of finesse. A man
is never so transparent as when he
| forgets himself in his own trade talk;
and Raymer was unrolling himself as
scroll for Miss Grierson to read as
she ran.
The tour of the works which had be-
| gun in passing acquaintance ended in
friendship, precisely as Miss Grierson
had meant 1t should; and when Ray
mer was tucking her into the cutter
and wrapping her in the fur robes. she
added the finishing touch, or rather
| the touch for which all the other
touches had been the preliminaries.

He went about it listlessly, with a
curious buzzing in his ears and GER

disconcerting; and when cab was
summoned he was glad enough to let
a respectfully sympathetic porter lend
him shoulder to the sidewalk.
The drive in the open air was suffi-

The coths and vandaIs.


In the day of its beginnings, Wa
haska was minor trading post on
the northwestern frontier. and an out
fitting station for the hunters and
trappers Of the upper Mississippi and
Minnesota lake region.
Later. it became the market town
of a wheat-growing district and a
foundation Of modest prosperity was
laid by well-to-do farmers gravitating
to that county seat to give their chill
dren the benefit of a graded school.
Later still came the passing of the
wheat. re-peopling of the farms by
fresh influx of home-seekers from
the Old World, and the birth, in Wa
haska and elsewhere, OF the industrial
era.
Jasper Grierson was product of the
wheat-growing period. The son Of one
of the earliest of the New York state
homesteaders in the wheat belt, he
came Of age in the year of the Civil
war draft. and was unpatriotic enough,
