Bits sharp eyes followed the ges-

Storm. Bill, a knave of more than
ordinary discernment and n who
hated Spike for his share in the fight
at Las Vegas, saw in the incident his
chance to get even. He put the check
aside and a moment later when Spike
appeared at the pay car, Bill was ready,
Descending the car steps, Bill called
to Spike as the latter came forward.
Bill advanced to meet him. What

IN loud and aggressive tones, pitched

Spike was in the worst possible

US all out of work. What do you

Spike, in most opprobrious Ian

men, most of whom were spelling for a
row, closed in to hear and devour the
heated argument that the two enc

malls fell thick and fast; abuse fol-

deep-seated enmity raised the tempers

In Seagrue's camp, Spike, an hour
later, was seated in front of a tent
cleaning a lamp when Seagrue re-
turned still in company with the at
torney. Their sounding out of the city
fathers had been unsuccessful and
Seagrue handed his foreman a notice
to post on the bulletin board:
Work will be suspended on
the Coast and Colorado cutoff
until Las Vegas grants a right
of way to allow this company to
reach the Superstition mines.
Spike, sauntering over, read the no
tice. Seagrue's eye fell on him at that
moment and a recollection of what he
termed Spikes treachery came to his
mind. He spoke to the convict rough
ly. Il suppose you know that in help
ing Rhinelander get those contracts,
you caused this trouble, Spike"
Spike glanced at him with an angry
shake of the head. "Rhinelander
didn't need me to get the contracts.
Helen Holmes Is the one that beat
you, Seagrue."
The remark did not help to soothe
Seagrue's irritation. He kept after

fighting desperately to keep from be-

suppose he's no great loss"
But" cried Helen, 1--WE can't see a

won't stand it. I'll go help him my
self if nobody else will"
Undismayed by the undertaking,
Helen, followed by Rhinelander trying
camp. Storm, with more forethought,
hastily got together such of his men
as were within hearing, and yelling in
his turn to Helen to wait, started after
her and Rhinelander. Fast as the
men ran, none could overtake her fly
ing feet. She dashed into the thick
of the fight ahead of everybody and
selling Spike, pushed back his assail-
ants.
They stopped an instant from sheer
amazement at seeing a lovely girl,
seemingly fallen from the sky, in the
middle of a hot scrimmage.
Rhinelander rushed to her side.
Hands Off" he cried, putting Spike
behind him. Shame! Twenty to one!
Where's your manhood"
Without pausing to consider this ir-
relevant question, the mob started in
to hammer Spike and Rhinelander
both. 1t was then that George Storms
preparedness was indicated. He
fought his way into the ring, followed
by a dozen huskies, who beat back
Seagrue's men till Storm was enabled
to pull Spike away-his men holding
the line back of him.
But this diversion vas good only
for a moment, and Storm-not unused
to riots and fghting-knew better
than his companions the necessity Of
further instant dispositions.
Helen had kept close to her friends.
We've got to get him out of here

They'll tear him limb from limb If
they get him again. Helen" he cried.

Helen saw he was greatly humiliat

his words. Spike" she said, kindly
"the clothes are nothing. But what
have I done to you that you should
treat me in the way you did,"
Spike shuffied on his feet and swung
his head uneasily. Not a thing in
the world" was all he could say.

she demanded. 81 bought you a ticket

He labored in continued confusion
to explain. He tried to tell her Sea-
grue had done many things for him;
he told her he owed Seagrue a lot of
money and he had no hope of ever
paying him back except by work, and
that he didn't feel he ought to break
away now.
Storm and Rhinelander came up at
that moment. They greeted Spike.
He avoided their eyes as much as pos
sible and returned their greeting in a
shame-faced way. Helen answered the
surprise that o~verspread the faces OF
Storm and Rhinelander. Its no won

said severely. you would hardly be-
lieve it, l know; but the fact is he

The two men looked at Spike with
u~ndisguised contempt. Their attitude
made him desperate. "Oh, l know
what you think CT me-" he said with
a reckless swing of his head. 81 can't
help it. l can't explain. 1t would take
me from now till the middle of next
week, if I tried-and then you'd think

be kind to me again. It's hopeless for
me-but I can't help it,"
The three watched him shuttle away.
Rhinelarder shook his head. There's
a mystery somewhere in it. l can't
make it out. Some day We'll know"
"Well in any case, 1 certainly don't
want these clothes" declared Helen,
looking at the bundle Spike had left
in her hands. They're no use in the
world to me-" A laborer was passing.

added. before the man could recover
from his surprise, "it's yours"

men. The latter stood about the car

NINTH ~lNSTALLMENT
A CLOSE CALL

Despite Seagrue's persistent opposi-
9ion, Rhinelander secured the right
of way to enable him to complete the
Superstition cutoff, and unable to
stop the Tidewater construction work,
Seagrue resolved to try other methods
to defeat his rival.
Eelen Holmes was enjoying the
taste of camp life that her trip to the
front had brought. And after the ex-
citement had died down attending the
destruction of Cassidy's house, she
found herself amused and interested
in Cassidy himself, who was busy
next morning trying to restore a much
battered stove to service near the
wreck of his shack. Helen watched
his dazed efforts until sympathy over
came her, and ~excusing herself, she
walked over to where Cassidy was
struggling to get a fire going.
Seagrue, who had been watching
the scene from a distance, saw Helen
join the old fellow, and deemed it his
opportunity to make tentative ad-
vances toward the collective enemy.

Helen at a moment in which she sent
Cassidy for water and was herself
watching the fire starting in the
stove.
Helen looked up in establishment
when she heard Seagrue's greeting.
Indeed, she resented his intrusion so
strongly that she refused all commun-
ication with him and for a time he
spoke into deaf ears.
"You ought not to be too hard on
me, Helen" he urged at length. ANY
man will fight for his life against ruin.
That's all I've done. Everything 1
have in the world is tied up in this
Superstition cutoff. But more than

He spoke slowly and looked so beat
en- and worried as he fingered in the
penumbra of Helen's gaze that she be-

his villainous conduct.
He took her singing r~eproaches

nothing. When it's all over, nobody
is sorrier for it than l I'm. l have

what hurts the most is that it should
have cost me your friendship and my
uncle's."
While the talk thus begun the two
was going on in this fashion, Storm,
who had been experimenting with
some new jacks, noticed what Helen
was doing; and that the man standing
near her was none other than Sea-
grue. Scarcely able to believe his
eyes, the young constructionist called
to Rhinelander to look. The latter
disengaged himself from his new ma

HOPPER SYSTEM OF FEEDING
Begin by Supplying Dry Mash and
Later Include Grains-Feed Oats
for Bone and Muscle.

At this time Of the year if it has
not previously been done, the hopper
system of feeding should be intro
duced for the growing chicks. Begin
by supplying the hoppers with dry
mash and later include grains, espe-
cially oats. Some tell us that their
chicks will not eat oats, but there is
nothing better for growing bone and
muscle. Hopper feeding greatly les
sens the amount of labor in caring
for chicks and gives the smaller and
weaker chicks an equal chance at the
feed with the others.

CARE FOR LITTLE CHICKENS
Do Not Worry Mother Hen by Inter-
fersnce-Feed Bread Crumbs
When 4S Hours Old.

When the eggs begin to pip, do not
worry the hen by interference, but
let her severely alone till the chicks
are all out and dry. Then remove
to q dry roomy coop which should be
rat and skunk proof. If you can have
q small runway attached TO the south
side, enclosed by wire netting, so
much the better. The hen should be
kept confined for a few days, allowing
the chicks to run in and out at will.
10 not be in hurry to feed the
little fellows, but scatter some coarse
sand or chick size grit in the chatf
or litter that you put on the floor of
their coop. They will pick at this
and begin to learn to scratch for them
selves. When 4S hours old, give some
dry bread crumbs or hard-boiled egg.
Feed, often, but sparingly the first few
days. Vary the food given, using
rolled oats. cornbread, curd and stale
light bread ground fine, or soaked in
milk and squeezed dry.
Keep grit, charcoal and clean drink
ing water always before them. Feed
the hen first and the chick feed will
last longer. After the chicks are two
weeks CID turn the old hen loose with
them to 90 where she will, always see-
ing that they are securely cooped for
the night. at this age three feelings
q day are sufficient. Cracked corn,
kaffir and wheat is very good diet,
in addition to what they pick up.
