Its open. It's open!" The shout
came from the lips of the telegraph
er. waving his arms as he ran from
the tunnel that led to the station
house. IT'S open! I've had Rawlins
on the wire."
"Rawlins?" Houston had edged
forward. There's not a chance. Get
Denver on the wire. Then take this
message 10 every newspaper in the
city:
Can't you help us? Please try
to start campaign to force Crestlinc

the women and the babies who
starve, when there are the cattle
who are dying, when there is the
country that is like a broken thing.
They know that we do not get our
machinery, They have think they
have a chancellor the contract"
1t brought Houston to a sharp
knowledge of conditions. They had
given, that the rest of the country
might not suffer. Their enemies had
worked on, fired with the new hope
that the machinery necessary to
carry out Houston's contract would
not arrive in time.
A shout had come from the dis
lance. Family through the sitting
snow they could see figures run

They're going to open the road!

A message bearer came from the
