This was vitriot dressing on a raw
wound, and the suppression of the Wis.,
tier was expected by Judge Lynch.
Brave men held their breath to see
me beard the lion in his den, not
knowing my armor as did.
Then came an announcement with a.
great flourish of trumpets of lecture
on 'WOman," by the Hon. Shepley, the
great legal light and democratic orator
of Minnesota. The lecture was deliver
ed In due time to a densely packed
house, and was as insulting as pos
sible. The lecture divided women in
to four classes coquettes, flirts, to-
tally depraved, and strOng-mdnded. He
painted each class and found some re-
deeming trait in all save the last.
The speaker might as we'll have
named me as the object of his attack,
and his charges thus publicly made
were not to be misunderstood. At ev-
cry point there were rounds and
shouts of applause by clacquers, and
brother Harry once rose in a towering
rage, but l dragged him down and
begged him to keep quiet.
In my review of the lecture, prais-
ed it, commended it's eloquence and
points, but suggested that the learned
gentleman had not included all WON

he left out the frontier belle who sat
up all night playing cards with gentle
men; could beat any man at a game

amusement, which was then rapidly
coming into fashion in our little city,
and which to me was new and alarm.

conductor first. The conductor, a man
OF peace, listened unmoved to the yio-

the property in dispute. Seagrue got

these lazy graders"
Seagrue himself took the message
from Lyons. He read 1t with secret
satisfaction. The moment Lyons had
left, Seagrue called Delaney, his fcre-
man. told him to get the gang together
to unload four cars OF ties the instant
the local freight pulled in.
But in the interval the Tidewater
camp leaders, Rhinelander and Storm.
were not losing any time in looking
after the shipment themselves, and
they appeared together at the station
to get track of it. Lyons. in response
to Rhirelander's inquiries, said he did
not know what the local freight was
carrying.
You find out, will you. Helen ?"
asked Rhinelander. And as he made
the request he showed her his letter

local.

consulting as to how to get him. But

was empty. swung up by the hand rail
and went inside the car. He grabbed
the waybills from the rack box and ex.
amined them. Finding those for the
cars Of ties, he carefully erased Rhine
lander's name from each OF them and
taking his time inserted Seagrue's.
Having done what struck him as an
artistic Job on these, he replaced the
bills and climbing into the cupola
looked outside.
It was then by good fortune that the
conductor and one OF the two brake
men spotted him. To get back quick
they tagged the engineer-the train
