CHAPTER HI--contInued.

Dan saw the door close behind him,
and he had an lnstant's glimpse of the
long sweep Of moonlit ridge that
stretched beneath the window. Then,
ell at once, seemingly without warn
lux, 1t simply blinked out. Not until
the mex morning did he really know
why. Insomnia was an old acquaint-
ance of Dams, and he had expected tn
nave. some trouble In getting to sleep.
His only real trouble was waking up
again when Lennox called him to
breakfast. He couldn't believe that
the light at his window shade was
really that Of morning.
Good HeavensI' his host exploded.
You sleep the sleep of the just"
Dan was about to tell him that on
the contrary he was a very nervous
sleeper, but he thought better Of II.
Something had surely happened to his
insomnia. The next instant he even
forgot TO wonder about it In the reali-
z9tion that his tired body had been
wonderfully refreshed. He had no
dread nov of the long tramp up the
ridge that his host had planned.
But first came target practice. In
Dams baggage he had a certain very
plain but serNceable sporting rifle of

cheer. "You see. | aimed at the mid

was a singular thing that he aimed

Dams reply was TO lift the rife

"One of the first national manifesto

the form Of n series OF mass meetings

passed the law. which provides for a
board. known as the minimum wage
