CHAPTER III.
It was raining pitchforks

1t was raining plteh1ofKs.
Across the river, through the
opalescent blur, one could see the
old sou'westers piling up on the
point, just a little farther each
time, for wild sea was running
in from the lake.
1t was a day for poker, the tell
| ing OF tales, or reading and
snoozing, or tinkering in the boat
house. And tinkering in the boat
house was precisely what Uncle
Billy was doing. Next to bring
ing home a four-pounder, he liked
to tinker.

one of IN wuth darn! Whut's

the doorway.

his fingers on a piece of waste,

goin' t. stay, neither"
"One at a time, Bill; one at a
time. Go back to your work. I'll
tell you all know when I've kind
of soaked this picture into my
soul"
Crawford leaned against the
jamb, breathing with little
smack of his lips just before he
let the breath go. He wanted the
good of it in his veins. In an
other day he would forget that
he had ever been anything but an
outdoor man, of simple habits.
Uncle Billy, vainly pretending
to squirt at the business end of
sparkplug, watched his young
friend cOvertly.
Lester In from Reed's?" asked
Crawford presently.
"Yestiddy."

Nope. I'll have him around at

Tap-tap!
Crawford stood up, while Uncle
Billy reached hurriedly for the
waste to wipe his hands.
The latch clicked, the rear door
opened, and a young woman en-
tered.
Her raincoat sparkled and
flashed; tendrils of rain-drenched
hair struggled down her cheeks
from under an ordinary sou'west-
er.
you, Miss Wynne?" gasped
Uncle Billy.
Game in for the mail and
something to read. Oh, beg
your pardon!"
Cranford's pipe, with its smoI-
dering coal, went into a pocket;
his hat off his head.

Uncle Billy's wave of the hand
was meant for an introduction.

woman might be at the poles So

would have presented a stevedore

She did not offer her hand, but

petition was presented to the
county commissioners at their meet
ing this week asking that the road
be graded north o, town on the Nil
river from point where the grad
ing was stopped last year to the foot
OF Mitchell's hill. and another ask
ing for a bridge across Milk river
at FreeWater The road asked for
should be put in passable condition
as il is undoubtedly the poorest piece
OF road in Phillips county and one
that brings great deal of business
to Malta. If the county commiss-
toner's cannot and have not the
finances to do the road work it
would be a good plan for the citi-
zens of Malta to do something that
would give the people of that sec
ton better roads to town.
