LEFT WITHOUT
RAILROAD Line.

Repors from the Ely district en-
aaatiag from motorists who left the
camp yesterday state that the situa-
ton is becoming distressing owing to
the absence Of fresh provisions which
cannot be brought in on account of
the railroad suspending traffic. The
last train IN and out was run Satur
day and the only means of travel re
naming is by automobile and that
cannot be kept up much longer as the
supply Of gasoline is almost exhaust
ed and there is no way of replon,
shing the supply. The adjacent
farming valleys in Nye county have
no toodstuffs to dispose of as they
need all they raise for winter con,
sumption aud the cost of hauling in

''Bow, wow. bOW-wow," said Santa's dog Boy of the North
 'WelI, old Boy of the North" said Santa. "dO you think we've got almost enough toys ready in the toy shop?"
 'BoW-wOw, bow, wow" said Boy of the North and wagged his raiI which meant he thought the toys were very fine and that there were plenty of them.
 Il must tell you what happened last Christmas" said Santa. T forgot to tell you about it at the time, but now that my hands and my mind and my shop - everything is all crammed, iammed, filled with presents, it makes me think of this"
 'Tell me about it," said Boy of the North.
 Santa was sitting in his workshop. He was making a lovely doll with curly hair and blue eyes. and Boy of the North was sitting close to his chair with his head against Santa's knee.
 ''I was at a house where there were three little girls, and oh. Boy of the North. they were such nice little girls! 'They were really lovely, and so good! Of course they were asleep but no matter, Boy of the North, you needn't laugh, they were good children l can tell you. Even if mothers and daddips may say they are bad at times l would only shake my head and say, Well, what child isn't bad sometimes? It wouldn't upset old Santa for he

 But, as I said. these children were such nice little girls.

little white beds and each had her hair in two beautiful braids.
 "I filled their stockings and I said to myself, You are a nice collection of youngsters for any mother and any father to be proud of! Dear me! But I'm proud to be old Santa Claus and to have the honor of filling your Christ mas stockings
 ''Then I went downstairs where there was a tree and I started a-trim- ming of the tree. They had left some things for me to use. Some people are kind that way about leaving many of the nice decorations which can be used every Christmas. It saves me room in my pack and like to see the same old decorations coming out year after year.
 But I saw something else there, toO- I saw a present, a gift for me.
 'I looked down at it and saw that it was addressed to me and that it said. TO Santa Claus. with love from Helen And I saw that it had an- other little note inside which said, Dear Santa, I made this myself, so please forgive mistakes
 Tt was a pincushion, Boy of the North, and I have it in my room now. You may have noticed it, did you?"
 Boy of the North wagged his tail.
 Well, I was pleased and 1 wrote Helen a note thanking her, but really, Boy of the North, I mean this quite truly, don't care about getting pres ents. I like to feel I'm one person who gives gifts but who doesn't re- ceive gifts, for I have all my thanks in the smiles of children.
 They're the things I like and really, really don't care for presents.
 But one thing I do like, Boy of the North. and that is to get lots of letters from children; letters, not gifts, suit old Santa Claus.
 ''For I like to have the joy and the honor and the fun of giving presents only. It's nice for others to give pres ents and receive them, but old Santa has these ways of his own, hasn't he, Boy of the NOrth?"
 And Boy of the North snuggled very closely as though to say, Your ways are the most wonderful ways of all"
 "We'll look through our magic tele- scope and will see the smiles of the children on Christmas morning, won't we. Boy of the North? They're better than all the gifts in the world to old. Santa !'

He remembered his first call at the Andersen mansion, and what a great parsonage she seemed, at home in that magniticence ; and yet so gay and friendly. He re- membprcd the first time he had danced with her-and the old waltz song be- gan to beat in his ears and in h!s heart.
 All the way to New York it seemed to him that Isabel was near him, and he wrote of her to Lucy from his hotel the next night:
 "I saw an account of the accident of George Minafer. Pm sorry, though the paper states that it was plainly his own fault. I suppose it may have been as a result of my attention fall ing upon the item that thought of his mother a great deal on the way here. It seemed to me that had never seen her more distinctly or so constantly, but, as you know, thinking of his moth CT is not very apt to make me admire him! Of course, however, he has my best wishes for his recovery"
 He posted the letter, and by the mornings mail received one from Lucy written a few hours after his depar ture from home. She inclosed the item he had read on the train and wrote:

 George was startled, too. He lifted a white hand in a queer gesture. half forbidding, half-imploring, and then let his arm fall back upon the cOverlet. You must have thought my mother wanted you to cOme,' he said, "sO that I could ask you toto forgive me"
 But Lucy, who sat besida him, lifted ineffable eyes from him to her father, and shook her head. "No, just to take his hand-gently :"
 She was radiant.
 But for Eugene another radiance filled the room. He knew that he had been true at last to his true love, and that through him she had brought her boy under shelter again. Her eyes would look WistfuI no more.

CHAPTER xxII-Continued.


 At this he laughed, but not very heartily, and walked slowly to the house, leaving her bending over rose bush, and a shade more penslve than the most pensive garden lady in any Victorian engraving. Next day, it happened that this same "VendO- nah" or "Rides-DOwn-Everyt be came the subject of 8 chance cOnver- sation between Eugene and his old friend Kinney, father of the fire-topped Fred. The two gentlemen found them selves smoking in neighboring leather chairs beside a broad window at the club, after lunch.
 Mir. Kinney had remarked that he expected to get his family established at the seashore by the Fourth of July, and, following a train of thought, he paused and chuckled. Fourth of July reminds me- he said. Have you heard what that Georgie Minafer is doing?"
 ''NO, I haven't" said Eugene, and his friend failed to notice the crispness of the utterance.
 Well, sir," Kinney chuckled again, "it beats the devil! My boy Fred told me about it yesterday. He's friend of this young Henry Akers, son of F. P. Akers of the Akers Chemical com pany. It seems this young Akers asked Fred if he knew fellow named Nina fer, because he knew Fred had always lived here, and young AkerS had heard some way that Minafer used to be an old family name here, and was sort of curious about it. Well, sir, you re member this young Georgie sort of dis appeared, after his grandfathers death, and nabody seemed to know much what had become of him though Isdid hear, once or twice, that he was still around somewhere. We'll, sir, he's working for the Akers Chem ical company, out at their plant on the Thomasville road"
 He paused, seeming to reserve some thing to be delivered only upon inquiry, and Eugene offered him the expected question, but only after a cold glance through the nose-glasses he had lately found 1t necessary to adopt. "What does he do?"
 Kinney laughed and slapped the arm of his chair. He's nitro-glycerin ex- pertl" >
 He was gratifed to see that Eugene was surprised, if not, indeed, little startled.
 He's what?"
 He's an expert on nitro-glycerin. Doesn't that beat the devil Yes, sir {! Young Akers told Fred that this George Minafer had worked like a houn'-dog ever since he got started out at the works. They have a special plant for nitro-glycerin. way off from the main plant, O course-in the woods somewhere-and George Nina fer's been working there, and lately they put him in charge of it. He over sees shooting oil wells, too, and shoots 'em himself, sometimes. They aren't "''"~-"@ +~ carrv if on the railroads,

you knOW-have to team it. Young Akers says George rides around over the bumpy roads, sitting on as much as three hundred quarts of nitro-glycerin My Lord! Talk about romantic tum- bles! If he gets blown sky-high some day he won't have a bigger drop, when he comes down, than he's already had !! Don't it beat the devil! Young Akers said he's got all the nerve there is in the world. Says he gets a fair salary, and I should think he ought to ! Seems to me I've heard the average life in that sort of work is somewhere around four years, and agents don't write any insurance at all for nitro-gIycerin ex- perts. Hardly!''
 "NO," said Eugene. 'I suppose not"
 Kinney rose to go. "Well, it's a pretty funny thing-pretty odd, I mean and I suppose it would be pass arOund-the-hat for old Fanny Mfnafer if he blew up. Fred told me that they're living in some apartment house, and said GeOrgie supports her. He was going to study law, but couldn't earn enough that way to take care of Fanny, so he gave it up. Freds wife told him all this. Says Fanny doesn't do anything but play bridge these d5ty-s.
