th~usipstic words and felt that life in
earnest was to begin for them ut last.
Lois was a practical body and, be-
sides, had supreme faith in the in
variable correctness of the judgment
Of the man she loved. Once Robert
Russell, out of work in a distant city,
m~oneyless and half Ill, had gone
through a hard winter, barely earning
enough to live on. He had shared the
trials of the poor. He had never for
gotten 1t. The ~sufferings of the In.
digenr from lack of fuel had struck
him forcibly. The lack Of work for
honest sober men had impressed him,
and keen observation had suggested q
new field of enterprise few had ever
thought Of utilizing.
Robert did a strange thing. He
leased an abandoned coal yard In a
tenement district of the big city. -Four
miles away from it, where a belt line
ran, was a great barren prairie. Here
the various railroads sent their worm
out and useless timber ties, cords and
cords and acres and acres Of them.
Here periodically these great heaps
were set on fire and burned to ashes
to get rid Of them.
Robert went to the persons having
the matter In charge and a given
free license to cart away all he want
ed Of the ties. which accumulated
daily. Then Robert set his project in
full operation. Winter was coming on,
the hard season for the poor. Robert
had purchased half a dozen teams.
There was a large stable in the coal
yard and an old house. He fixed these
up In good shape, moved into the
house, furnished 1t up comfortably
and used one of its rooms as an Of
fee.
Then Robert made 1t known, In the
district that there was permanent or
temporary work for the worthy un-
employed in the vicinity. It required
q dozen men to drive and load the
wagons which transported the ties to
the yard, hostlers as well, and a large
number to saw and split the wood.
Within a month the business was re-
duced to a system.
1t proved a blessing to the poor. to
whom Robert sold the wood ut a fair
low price. Coal was delivered by the
bushel or the ton. Credit vas given
where It was deserved. At the end Of
