HENRY WALLACE PHILLIPS
I COPYPJCHT.; 1803, BY McCLURE, PHIIXIPS t COMPANY f
The dust settled enough so that the
anxious villagers could see horse and
man; the former resting easily as If
he had had enough athletics for 'one
day and the latter sitting In the road.
Neither showed any Intention of ris
ing.
"What's the matter, Mr. Saunders,
are you hurt?" inquired the fussy post
mistress.
"Please go 'way, ma'am," said Bed,
waving bis arm.
"I'm sure you're hurt I'm perfectly
sure you' re hurt," she persisted, hold
ing ner ground. "Now, do tell us
what can possibly be the matter with
you."
- very wen,-' returned the exas
perated cowpuncher, "I will. My
pants, ma'am, have suffered in this
turn up, and they're now in a con
ditlon to make my appearance in po
lite society difficult, if not impossible
now please go 'way, and somebody
fetch me a horse blanket"
It is regrettable that the discom
fiture of the postmistress was received
with undisguised hilarity. The blan
ket was produced, and Red stalked off
in Indian dignity, marred by a limp
in his left leg, for he had come upon
Mother Earth with a force which made
Itself felt through all that foot of
soft dust
"Bring that dura fool horse along,'
be called over his shoulder. Buckskin
rose and followed his owner. There
was no light in his eye now; be looked
thoughtful. He, too, limped, and
there was a trickle of blood down his
nose. Verily it had been a hard
fought field.
As both men were anxious to see tbe
lay of the land as soon as possible
Bed took his place in the wagon
that day, after the damages were re
paired, content to wait until his leg
was less sore for horseback riding.
There followed a busy two weeks
for them. Mr. Demllt had some money
he wished to put into the enterprise,
but his most valuable assistance was,
of course, his thorough knowledge of
the resources of the country.
They found an admirable site for the
mill In an old stone barn which had
Stood the ravages of desolation almost
unimpaired. Bed's mining experience
told him that the creek could easily
be flumed to tbe barn, and as that was
tbe only objection of the others to
this location they wrote the owner of
the property for a price. They were
astonished when they received the fig
ures. It had come by inheritance to
man to whom it was a white ele
phant of the most exasperating sort,
and be was glad to get rid of it for
almost a song. Tbey were a Jubilant
three at the news. It Saved the cost
of building a mill, aad, including that,
the price was as low per acre as any
land they could have obtained. Bed
closed the bargain Instantly.
Lettls' pert of the business was
chiefly to arrange for the disposal of
their product, and when he explained
to bis partners what be could reason
ably hope to do in that line the affair
lost its last tint of unreality and be-
lame a good proposition, for Lotus
Bad an excellent business acquaint
ance who would be glad to deal with
the straightforward young fellow.
The night after the signing of the
deeds Bed said to Miss Mattle: "We
ought to have a stockholders' dinner
tomorrow night, Mattle. If yon could
hire that scow bant girl who wears
her ban scrambled to come In and
give yon a lift,, would you feel equal
to itr
"Ton always pat K that I'm doing,
yon a great favor In such things, WW,
bat you know perfectly well there's
nothlnsr I'd rather do." replied Miss
Mattle, with a dimpling smile. "How-
over, It adds to tbe pleasure of It to
have It put In that way, so I won't
complain. Til Just have my sapper
first and then yon men can talk over
Tear basinets undisturbed."
"Ton will not you'll eat with the
rest of us!" -
Tes, bat yon stockholders" The
word had on Import to Mies Mattle, a
something. If not regal, at least a kin
ship to the king. Under her democra
cy lay a respect for tbe founded Insti
tution, Impersonal, aa Integral part of
tbe law of the statsla fact salnor
aovareintv within on empire.
"Stockholder youraolfP retorted Bed.
"Dont yon coll me name."
What de yon mean, WHIT asked
Miss Mattle, with wide opened eyes.
"I mean you're a stockholder as good
as anybody. You're got half my stock.
Now, held on! Just listen. This at a

"Oh, Will! How can I ever thank
yon?" cried Miss Mattle, her eyes fill
ing. It seemed a great and responsible
position to the gentle lady to be a
stockholder In the corporation, it
wasn't tbe monetary value of the
thing; It was the pride of place.
"If you don't know how, don't try,'
returned Bed. 'Ton give tbe other

Thus adjured the lawyer made bis
entrance, and Miss Mattle became in
dne end Involved coarse of law a
stockholder in the Fairfield Straw-
board Manufacturing company.
Fairfield rose to activity like a very
small giant refreshed. Teems and
:xbeir heavy loads kept the respect
able dust In constant commotion. A
grist mill was added to tbe Intended
plant thus offering an Inducement to
the fanner to raise grain, and incident
ally straw, "So we can ketch 'em on
both ends, too," as Bed put it
The time seemed like enchantment to
Miss Mattle. As a bringer of the tid
ings and a stockholder In the company
she bad risen to be a person of impor
tance, with the result that she wss
even more modestly shy than before;
although .In her heart she liked It:
but more delightful yet wss the spirit
sf holiday activity which Inspired and
pervaded the place.
Bed bad Insisted on operating on
the lines that are laid down with rail

much ss possible. - Therefore the ma

CHAPTER VIII.
ffl
HE work on the mill was push.
ed, and In spite of the usual
amount of unforeseen delays It
was ready for business by the
latter part of September. The official
-opening was Vet for the 27th, Miss
Mettle's birthday, and the village of
Fairfield was Invited to a picnic to
be held at the mill In honor of the oc
casion. It Is needless to say that tbe
Fairfield Btrawboard Manufacturing
company did the thing up In shape.
Wagons loaded with straw and drawn
by four horse teams went the rounds
of the village collecting the guests. It
is doubtful If Fairfield was ever more
surprised than at the realization of
bow much there was of her, using the
pronoun out of respect to the majority,
"when she wss bunched," as Bed said.
Ton would not have believed that
struggling, lonesome looking place held
so many people. As Bed could discov
er no means In the town's resources to
provide a meal for 300 people, It was
necessarily a basket party, which
struck Mr. Saunders as being grievous
ly like a Swede treat He made up
for it in a measure by having barrels
of lemonade and cider on tap at tbe
grounds, stronger beverages being bar
red, and by hiring a quartet of strings
"clear from town.
At half past 2 on a resplendent but
hot September afternoon the caravan
started for the mill grounds, the wom
en dressed In tbe moot unplcnlcky cos
tumes Imaginable, and the men osten
tatiously at ease In their store clothes.
Every one was in the best of spirits,
keen for the excitement and pleasure
that was sure to mark the occasion.
Bed rode old Buckskin, who bad
succumbed to the Inevitable and only
"Jumped around a little," as Bed put
It on being mounted. It wss pretty
lively "Jumping around," but perbaps
Mr. Saunders found some satisfaction
In sitting perfectly at bis ease, smok
ing bis cigarette, while Book Jumped
end Fairfield admired. And, at any
rate, Buck bad legs of Iron and tbe
wind of a locomotive, carrying Bed all
day and willing to kick at anything
which bothered him when night came.
He was a splendid beast through and
through, from forelock to tail tip, but
be bad learned who was bis master
snd obeyed him accordingly.
It was a five mile ride, mostly under
the shade of fine old trees. The road
wound around tbe hills; hare and there
a break In tbe arboreal border showed
views of rolling country, well shaped
and pleasing, winding np grassy slopes
In groves of verdure. Of coarse most
of the freshness of leaf wes past yet
tbe modest gray green gave a silvery
sheen to tbe landscape that brought It
fcito unity.
One member of tbe party felt that
bis heart was very full as be looked st
tt That was Lettls. "Blast the old
office!" be kept saying to himself.
"Blast Its six dingy windows and tbe
clock at the end! Doesn't this look
good, and doesn't It smell good, dost
snd all?" snd then he'd bowl at tbe
horses In sheer exuberance of good
feeling, making the mild old brutes
put s better foot of It to tbe front
Bed cantered np beside bis wagon.
"Well, Lettls," be said, "here we go
for tbe opening overture with tbe fall
strength of tbe company we're greet
people this day, ain't we?" And tbe
big men smiled like a pleased big boy.
"Ob, what a bully old fellow yon
ore!" thought Lettls as be looked at
him. Lettls wss thinking of other
qualifies than flesh, bat tbe physical
Bed Saunders on horse back was do
serving of a glance from snybody; tbe
massive figure so well poised; tbe clear
cat proud profile; tbe shapely
with Its crown of red gold hair; tbe
easy grace of him' by virtue of bis
strength-It would be s remarkable
crowd in which Chants Seecbee Bed
couldn't pees for a man. He was ev
ery inch of that from tbe ground up.
Lettls hod come to bow down to bun
la adoration, with all aa affectionate
boy's worship. To those eyes Bed
wss just right In every particular;
likewise to Miss Mattle, who even
sow was filling ber eyes wltb him
from behind tbe vantage of a broad
brimmed straw bat
At test tbe whole party disembarked
at the fiat before tbe mill and mode
ready for the official starting of tbe
machinery. Tbe big doors were thrown
so that tbe company could see
within while resting evtslde hi tbe
bade, and a odor the cooling Influence
of whet breeao there wss. The mill

Retain Competent Road Official..
It Is asserted that one of tbe princi
pal causes for tbe poor construction of
roads Is that tbe tenure of office of
highway commissioners is uncertain
and that In most esses tbe office goes
to tbe candidate who can secure the
meet votes. Politics, ss we have often
said, should in nowise be a factor when
It comes to building roads or paving
streets, ssys tbe Good Roads Msgs
sine. Improved road building Is a new
art, and a competent road builder, like
a poet Is born, not made, and when
bis worth bss been proved be should
be kept In tbe office ss long ss be
efficient snd keepe up wltb the march
of orocress In his line ef work. Bo
long as the office of highway commis
sioner Is elective the voters of s town
ship should see thst tbe best man Is
put In the office snd then re-eiectea.
Much has lately been saM In regard to
making the office of highway commis
sioner appointive and strictly under

In favor of this plan, bat anUl laws

Washington Letter.
Washington March 14, 1008.
An ugly land fraud almost under
tbe dome of the Capitol has been
discovered within the last week
whereby the Government bss been
defrauded of land worth a very con
siderable sum and only by a mere
chance avoided losing another val
uable tract. Senator Carter expos
ed the transaction in the Senate and
that body immediately repealed tbe
law which conveyed to Bieber bis
last title, the Secretary of War hav
ing delayed acting under that en
actment It is not known what the
House will do in the matter as it is
evident that in that chamber there
are powerful influences at work to
hush the whole matter up. For the
entire parcel of land, Bieber appears
to have paid about f 5,000 the par
cel containing, about 20 acres, and
for a small part of the land he re
cently refused to accept Irom the
Pennsylvania Railroad $ 15,000
cash. The Oovernment has already
expended f 300,000 for improving
the Anacostia River on which this
land, which carries the riparian
rights, abuts, and it is proposed to
expend a very much larger sum. The
records show that foi the last trans
action Representative Bartholdt of
Missouri was responsible and Mr,
Bartholdt has msds a statement
saying that tbe action of bis commit
tee was perfectly proper and regular
but there is every indication that tbe
Senate will express a different opin
ion. It is assumed in tbe 8enste
that Bieber must have exerted very
powerful influence in the House to
secure such favorable legislation
Bieber was formerly assistant fire
marshall of the District ot Colum
bia. He became ill sod through
ths kind influence of Speaker Can
non be secured s pension of f 90 a
month for life, although be is still a
man of middle age and is now in
excellent health. He bss recently
been engaged in an effort to hsvr
ths two delegates from the district
instructed to vote for Speaker Csn
non in the Republican National
Convention. When asked on ths
night after Senator Carter sosde tbe
expose in ths Seqste whet bs bad
to say regarding it, Bieber ssid thst
hs wss "too busy with local politics
to discuss ths matter."
lbs fighting in tbs Republican
ranks is becoming mors snd mors
bitter every day. A republics o
Representative, Mr. Acbeeoo, - of
Psasylrania, bas recently inspired
s report to the effect that Cecil Lyon,
tbs Republican National Commit
teeman from Texas, wss collecting
from postmasters in that Stats 10
percent of tbsir salaries for cam
paign rand. Then ths President
cams back st Mr. Acbeson sod
pointed oat that s Republican,' bat
not Cecil Lyon, bad attempted to
make such s collection, that bs had
been prosecuted by direction of tbs
President, and that only this week
tbe Supreme Court of tbs United
States bad decided tbs case against
tbs said Republican, who is now li
able to fine of tGO.OOO and impris
onment for 30 years. Tbs political
and of tbs fight is interesting, bow
ever, from tbs fact that this arrays
Acbeson against tbs President snd
rice versa, and as Acbeson is hay
ing a very hard fight in his district
against a prominent Pennsylvania
Elk, it is now believed the Congress
man will be defeated.
The most brilliant speech which
has yet been heard on the Aldrich
bill was made this week by Senator
Bailey of Texas. Mr. Bailey spoke
for three and one hall hours and
held the attention of an audience
which crowded both the Senate and
tbe galleries, many Democrats com
ing over from the House lo listen.
Mr. Bailey opposed tbe Aldrich
measure because he believes that the
banks should be allowed to issue no j
money and that such issue should
be confided to the government. He
indicated, however, that if he could
not get his substitute, providing for
$1,000 million emergency Treasury
notes, he would vote for the Aldrich
bill.
Congress seems prepared to pass
the Frye resolution which pro
vides that the material for the Pana
ma Canal must be carried in Amen
can vessels unless the prices charged
are extortionate. Of course this ex
cepticn makes tbe bill seem fair on
its face, but the fact is that under
such a bill the Secretary of War will
feel compelled to pay at least 50
percent, more to American ships
than is asked by foreign vessel ow
ners, and even if when asked still
bieber prices by Americans there
will be a howl of indignation from
the vesfel owners if he dares to em
ploy foreign ships. That was the
case with the vessels carying coal to
the Pacific for the current battleship
cruise, it will be remembered, si
though the Secretary did fly in the
face of tbe shipowners and charter
a number of foreign vessels.
Representative Tawney is again
shouting economy and be declares
there will be no public building bill

Witt k Co, Chicago 111.. Dear
Sirs I have suffered for more than
20 years from indigestion. About
eighteen months ago I had grown
so much worse tbat I could not di
gest a crust of corn bread and could
not retain anything on my stomacn.
I lost 25 lbs; in fact I made np my
mind tbat I could not live but a
short time, when a friend or mine
recom.nended Kodol. I consented
to trv it to please him and 1 was
better in one day. I now weigh
more than I ever did in my life and
am in belter health than for many
years. Kodol did it. I keep a bot
tle constantly, and write Ibis hoping
thst humanity will be benented.
