Three days after the departure Of
the Illingworth party the young en-
gineer fell i'll with fOllicular tOnsilitis,
which is about the meanest small thing
that can lay strong man low. He
fretted over his enforced absence from
the work and in the end had to pay for
that very fretting, for he got up too
soon and went out too quickly, and was
promptly forced to bed again as con-
sequence Of his impatience.
Now, after a weeks confinement in
his cabin, he felt strong enough to ven
ture out again and to attack his prob.
lens. They were personal problems
now, much more intimate than before
for he was building not only the bridge
but weaving In its web Of steel his own
future happiness.
OF course he had been able to gel
out on the rough porch of his galvan
lied iron shack where he had the
bridge in full view, and the day before
he had even walked unsteadily down tC

laughed grimly.
"That's about the size of It," said the
old man, mo matter how you put it.
One thing at time. Meade, l don't
know anybody on earth would rather
have for my sOn-in-law than clean,
honest, able American with a record
like yours. A man who can look me
in the eye and grasp me by the hand,
like this"
He put out his hand as he spoke.
Meade's own palm met 1t and the two
men shook hands Internationally but
firmly, after the manner of the self
restrained, practical American, who is
always fearful of scene and does not
wear his heart upon his sleeve. The
colonel threw away his cigar, slipped
his arm around his daughters waist,
kissed her softly on the forehead.

give you up to anyone. We have been
very happy together since your mother

He turned and walked away as they
answered him. They watched him &C
slowly with bended head. They
watched him climb, rather heavily, up
the steps to the car-that he was an
old man seemed rather suddenly borne
in upon them. He stood for n moment

arose from the boat which promptly
sheered Off into midstream.
Helen IllingwOrth's back had been
toward Meade as he seized her. She
had seen as he had everything that
happened. Recovering himself at last,
he stepped back slowly, almost drag

covered his forehead. He was shaking

the man, but we will soon get out
toward the end and then the view is

Isn't that it?" asked the woman,
pointing up the river to where cluS-
ter of lights rounded n huge bend not
far away, and swung out in midStream.
Yes" said the man, III we listen l
think we can hear her"
They both stopped and, sure enough,
faintly across the water came the
noise of clanking paddles of the big
river steamer. With that sound also
mingled the song of the night wind,
for wonder comparatively gentle,
making strange, weird harmonies as 1t

HAD A CAPITAL OF S4OO
In Six Years He Was Well OFF

An Alberta farmer, who had bor-

history of his experience, on Mani

is taken Of reproducing it.

mary Of my experience since coming
here six years ago. was a new hand
at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
S400, which was q first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres). Most
of my stock, harness, implements, ETC.,
were bought at sales, all ION time"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 26 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning a
number of mlschances, he says: "ln

me $400. I have built $125 chicken

20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings

Of the cantilever span to the shoe rest

sixty feet long and five feet wide. The
webs were over four feet deep and In
size and responsibility the great struts
were the most important of the whole
structure.
To say that C-10-R was out Of line
meant that it had buckled, or bent, or
was springing, and had departed from
that rigid rectangularity and parallel
ism which was absolutely necessary to
maintain the stability and immOblllty
of the truss and the strength of the
bridge. To the theOrist nothing on
earth could be more terribly pOr-
tentOus than such statement,
If 1t were true. To the prac,
tical man, who, to do him justice, had
never dealt with such vast structures
and he was not singular in that be-
cause the bridge was unique on ac-
count of its size-the detection noted
meant little or nothing.
"Good GOd" exclaimed Meade,
aflame on the instant with anxious ap-
prehension. The night was warm and
he was dressed in his pajamas and had
been lying on the bed. AS If he had
been shocked into action he sat up, for

he fairly shouted at Abbott, who re.
garded him with half-amused astonish'

By this time Meade had got his feet
into his slippers and was standing
erect.
"It isn't enough to make any differ

"It makes all the difference or

He stepped down off the PLATFORM

she ought to protest, but the words
