CHAPTER x

The Rodaines were on the sidewalk
when Fairchild came forth from the
Richmond home, and true to his in
structions from the frightened girl, he
brushed past them swiftly and went
on down the street, not turning at the
muttered invectives which came from
the crooked lips Of the older man, not
heeming even to notice their presence
es he hurried on toward Mother How
ards boarding house. In his creaky
bed he sought to think, but in vain.
After hours, daylight began to streak
the sky. Fairchild. dull. worn by ex-
citement and fatigue, strove to rise,
then laid his head on the pillow for
Just moment Of rest. And with that
perversity which extreme weariness
50 often exerts, his eyes closed, and
he slept-to wake at last with the
realization that it was late morning,
and that some one was pounding on
the door. Fairchf1d raised his head.
"WFo is it?"

"My lawyerT' Fairchild stared. II

"That doesn't alter the fact. Tlr
your lawyer, and I'm at your service.
And l don't mind telling you that it's
just about my first case. Otherwise
! don't guess I'd have gotten It,"
"Why not?" The frankness had driv-
en- other queries from Fairchild's
mind. Farrell. the attorney, grinned
cheerlly.
Because I understand it concerns
the ROdaines. Nearly everybody has
q little money stuck into their enter
prises. And seeing I have no money
at all, I'm net financially Interested.

over in his hand before he opened it
then looked at the postmark-Den-
yer. At last:
"Open it, why don't you?"
Harry's mustache was tickling his
ear, as the big miner stared over his
shoulder. Before them were figures
and sentences which blurred for a mo-
ment, finally to resolve into:
"Mr. Robert Fairchild,
"Ohadi, Colorado. ~
Dear Sir:
II am empowered by a client whose
name l am not at liberty to state, to
make you an offer of $4,000 for your
property in Clear Creek county, known
as the Blue Poppy mine. In replying,
kindly address your letter to
"Box $50, Denver, Colo"
& Harry whistled long and thoughtful
ly. &.

''An awful lot, Harry. But why was
the offer made? There's nothing to

Then for moment, az they stepped
out of the post office. he gave up the
thought, even Of comparative riches.
Twenty feet away, a man and girl
were approaching, talking as though
there never had been the slightest
trouble between them. It was Maurice
Rodaine and Anita Richmond; they
came closer. her eyes turned toward
Fairchild, and then
She went on, without speaking, with
ont taking the trouble, to notice, ap,
parently, that he had been standing
there.
After this, there was little conversa-
ton until Harry and ,Fairchild had
reached the boarding house. Then,
with Mother Howard for an adviser
the three gathered in the old parlor.

the gray mists hung low over the
mountain tops, until the shadows,
heightened and twilight fell. The en-

Slowly two weary men logged down
the rutty road to the narrow, winding
highway which led through Kentucky

awake to stare about him in the dark

Peasants Party Congress

Sofia, Bulgaria, May S.--Fifty
thousand delegates will attend the
yearly congress of the National Peas
ant Party in Sofia next month. Pas
scnger and freight traffic on the Bui-
garian railroads will be suspended for
. whole week in order to give the del
crates prompt transportation.
Thousands of home dwellers will be
cjected to make way for the huge in
flux of peasant politicians that will
find its way to the capital. A mans
home in socialized Bulgaria no longer
is his castle; it belongs to the govern
mcnt quite as much as to himself and
can be requistioned any time without
a penny's compensation.

Corn for Adult Feeding

London, May l0.-Every district
in the Russian famine areas is now
provided with corn for adult feed
ing, says cable message received at
the London offices of the American
Relief Administration. The last dis
trict to receive food was Kazan,
where the corn arrived April 2.
Thirty-two hundred horse teams
are now distributing it to the outly-
ing villages near KaZan racing
against time and the spring thaw
which will make the Kama river i'm
passable.
Spassk, one of the worst areas
lies across the Kama and, every eff
fort is being made to get the food
there in time.
If 25 percent of the American sup
plies reach their destination before
the thaw finally sets in, then the
adult program is assured, in the
opinion of the American Relief Ad.
ministration officials. That amount
will carry the people in the remote
villages through until such time as
the river navigation and the harden
ing of the roads makes them agar
accessible. The cities therefore are
receiving their rations last, because
they can always be reached from the
the railroads.
All American Relief Administra.
tion supplies are now moved in solic
trains of 80 cars or more and ar,
routed straight through to their ulti
mate destination. One hundred ant
seventy thousand tons of supplies lef
Russian ports for the interior dur
ing the month of March.
When the thaw prevents transpor
tation in the outlying districts, tn
movement from the ports will still
continue, but the cars will be route,
to Ribinsk and Tzaritzin. Here tn
corn will be stored until the opening
of river navigation makes its ship
ment by water possible.

He predicted that the country woutr
soon be in a position to enter upou %
period Of unprecedented prosperlt,
but that period would probably end IN
a temporary general business dcrr"s-
sion unless adequate transporta.ion
facilities were provided at an early
date.
The railroads, he said. are unable t.
supply the cheap transportation from
the interior To the coasts necessary :,
enable America to obtain its prupt r
share of foreign trade. Therefore. T.,
suggested as a means OF relieving this
situation the construction within the
next five years of a system of inter
nal waterways covering the whole ma
ton 'for the small expenditure Of
S100,000.00O a wear"
Mr.. SteveNscn said such a system
would carry 100000 tons of
freight annually at a saving of at
least $350,000,000 in direct freight
charges alone. 1t would also save the
people "many billions Of dollars for it
would keep our farms and factories
busy and would supply their products
much cheaper to all our people
The one great vital connecting link
IN this system of waterways, he said
is the Lake Erie and Ohio River Canal
