THE FRIEND OF ALL.
Concord should not hesitate to give
f all that is asked for the Red Cross.
Annual Roll Call day will be ob
served in this city on November ISth
' and it should be considered a privi
lege by our people to answer the call
most generously.
... While the Red Cross gained its
' greatest reputation during the World
* Wav ils work since has been none the
aJ- less important e-vet though it has
' been less •spectacular perhaps. There
fe is no denying the master part the or
ganization played during the war, yet
|j£ its work today Is hardly less import
ant.
The Red Cross goes where it is
5 needeed, be the call from the battle
,** held, disaster stricken area or some
secluded spot. There are no questions
- to be answered for the Red Cross goes
to humanity wherever humanity is in
«. need.
The Red Cross is tile field of every
>. man. It gives as freely aud as gen
" Crousiy to the illiterates as it docs
f., to tile college graduate. It is as in
e- tcrested in the welfare of the worker
V as it is in the welfare of the employer.
It is democratic in organization aud
■ in the manner in which it works,
j© It was an easy matter to get moti
le ey for the Red Cross when the war
Is* was raging. It should be just as easy i
2'\ now. While it is true the organixa- 1
s. tion reeeives less publicity now, if is
J'' also true, that it is doing a work which
jr should challenge the admiration of ev-j
rry man who glories in deeds that
is touch those who need aid the most.
The Red Cross seeks lio large sum
•jt from its members. “A Heart and a
t Dollar" are all it takes. Certainly
should give without stint.

CHAPTER XXVI. (Oontinued)
Having prepared a meal to his
liking, Jerry set the -table with a
single plate, cup, and saucer, then
seated himself with a luxurious
grunt. He ate slowly; hi* rolled
every mouthful with relish; he
ftefeherized it with calculated delib
eration; he paused between times to
blow loudly upon his coffee and to
Smack his lips—sounds that in them
selves were a provocation and an in
sult to his listener. When he had
cleaned up his interminable repast
and was finishing the last scrap,
Tom rose and made for the stove.
Jerry watched him, paralyzed in
mid-motion, until his partner’s hand
was outstretched, then he suddenly
shouted:
“Get away from there!”
Tom started. “What for?” he
queried, a light of rebellion flaring
into his eyes. “Ain’t you through
with your supper? You been at it
long enough.”
“You see me eatin’, don’t you?
After I get fed up and my teeth
picked I got all my dishes to wash.'"
“That wasn't our arrangement.”
“It was so.”
‘ You'll eat all night,” *Tont com
plained, almost tearfully. “You’ll
set there and gorge till you bust."
“That's my privilege. I don’t aim
to swaller my grub whole. I'm shy
a few teeth and some of the balance
don't meet, so I can't consume vit
tles like I was a pulp-mill. I didn’t
start this row—”
"Who did?”
“Now ain't that a fool question?”
Jerry leaned back comfortably and
began an elaborate vacuum-cleaning
process of what teeth he retained.
"Who starts all our rows, if I don't?
No. I'm as easy-going as a greased
ell. and 'most anybody can get along
with me, but, tread on my tail and
I swop ends: pronto. That’s me. I
go my own even way, but 1 live up
to my bargains and I see to it that
others do the same. You get the
hell away from that stove!”
Tom abandoned his purpose, and
with the resignation of a martyr re
turned to teeter upon the edge ot
his bunk. He remained there, glum,
malevolent, watchful, until his
cabin-mate hhd leisurely cleared the
table, washed and put away his
dishes; then with a sigh of fat re
pletion, unmistakably intended as a
provocation, the tormentor lit his
pipe and stretched himself luxuri
ously upon his bed.
Even then Tom made no move.
He merely glowered at the recum
bent figure. Jerry blew a cloud of
smoke, then waved a generous ges
ture.
“Now then, fly at it, Mr. Linton.”
lie said, sweetly. "Eve et my fill;
I've had an ample sufficiency; I'm
through and in for the night.”
“Oh no, you aint! You get up
md wash that skillet.”
Mr. Quirk started guiltily.
“Hustle your creaking joints and
tcrub it out.” •%
“Pshaw! I only fried a slice—”
“Scrub it!” Linton ordered.
This command Jedry obeyed, al
.hough it necessitated heating more
water, a procedure which, of course,
le maliciously prolonged. “Waited
ill I was till spread put, didn't you.”
ic Sneered, as he stooped over the
tvood-box. “That’s like you. Some
people are so small-calibered they’d
attle around in a gnat's* bladder
ike a mustard seed in a bass drum."
“I'm particular who I eat after,”
Tom said, "so be sure you scrub it
] lean."
“Thought you'd spoil ntjk smoke.
Veil, I can smoke standin’ on ftiy
lead and enjoy it.” There was a
silence, broken only by the sound of
terry's labors. At last he spoke:
1 “Once again I repeat what I told
vou yesterday. I took the words
out of your own mouth. You
the woman was a hellion—”
“I never did. Even if I had I
wouldn't allow a comparative
ttranger to apply such an epithet to
i member of my family.”
“You did say it. And "she ain’t a
nember of your family.”
Tom's jaws snahwed. “If pa
tience is a virtue,” he declared, in
juivering anger, “I’ll slide into heav
rn on skids. Assassination ought not
to be a crime; it’s warranted, like
ibating a nuisance"! it ain’t even a
nisdemeanor—sometimes. She was
t noble woman—”
“Hellion! I got it on the author
ity of her own husband—you!”
Tom rose and stamped over to the
stove; he slammed its door and clat
-1 tered the coffee-pot to drown this
! hateful persistence. Having had the
last word, as usual, Jerry retreated
jln satisfaction to his bed and
itrefehed his aching frame upon It.
The dingy .cabin was fragrant with
he odor of cooking food for a sec
jnd time that evening when the
I sound of voices and a knock at the
I door brought both old men to their
. feet.
' Before they could answer, the door
Hew open and in and out of the
frosty evening came Rouletta Kirby
md ’Poleon Do ret. The girPs cheeks
were rosy, her eyes were sparkling;
the warmly greeted first one part

she’s been sayin’: ‘Hunyl Hurry!

Linton’s sepmed face softened; it’
tracked into a smile* of genuine
pleasure; there was real hospitality

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
'You re m luck, tor sure. Lay

i as they say. No need to ask if yon’rc
> well; you're prettier than 'ever, and

Jerry nodded in vigorous agree
' meiyt. “You’re as sweet as a bunch
» of jessamine, Letty. Why, you’re
■ like a breath of spring! What
• brought you out to see us, anyhog^”
I “Dat's long story,” 'Poleon an
swered. “ Sapre! We got plenty
, talkin’ to do. Letty she’s goin’ he’p
you mak’ de supper now, an’ I fix
i dem dog. We goin’ camp wit’ you
all night. Golly! We have beeg
tarn.”
The new-comers had indeed intro
duced a breath of new, clean air.
Os a sudden the cabin had bright
ened, it was vitalized, it was
with a magic purpose and good
humor. Rouletta flung aside her
furs and bustled into the supper
preparations. Soon the meal' was !
ready. The first pause in her chat
ter came when she set the table for 1
four and when Jerry' protested that
he had already dined.
The girl paused, plate in hand.
“Then we ■were late and yob didn’t
tell us," she pouted, reproachfully.
“No. I got through early, but
Tom—he was help up in the traffic.
*i ou see. I don’t eat much, anyhoyv
I just nibble around and take a cold
snack where 1 can get it.”
“And you let him 1” Rouletta
turned to chide the other partner
"He’ll come down sick, Tom, and
you 11 have to nurse him again. If
you boys won’t learn to keep regu
lar meal hours I’ll have to come out
and run your house for vou. Shall
1? Speak up. What am I offered?"
Now this was tlie c ost insidious
flattery. “Boys” indeed! Jerry
chuckled, Tom looked up from the
love and his smoke-blue eyes Wert
twinkling.
“I can't offer you more ’n a half
interest in the 'lay.’ That's all I
own.”
"Is, dis cla m so reech lak people
say/" 'Poleon inquired. “Dey’rc
tollin' me you goin’ mak’ hondred
t'ousan’ dollax."
“Were breastin' out—cross
cuttin’ the streak,thut—looky.” Jerry
removed a baking-powder can front
the window-shelf and out of it he
poured a considerable amount of
coarse gold which the visitors* ex
amin’d w ith intense interest. "Them’s
our pannin’s.”
“Ilnyv splendid!” Rouletta cried.
“I been clamorin’ to hire some men
and take lifcVeasv. I say put on a
gang and h ist it out, but”—Jcrr?
shot a glance at his partner—"peo!
pie tell n*e I’m vi’lent an' head
strong. They say. ‘Prove it up.’ ”
Linton interrupted by loudly ex
claiming, “Come and get it, stran
gers, or I'll throw it cut and wash
the skillet.”
Supper was welcome, but. despite
the diners’ preoccupation with it, de
spite Tom's and Jerry's effort to
conceal the fact of their estrange
ment, it became evident that some
thing was amiss. Rouletta finally
sat back and with an accusing glance,
demanded to know what was the
matter.
The old men met her eyes with
an assumption of blank astonish
ment.
" ’Fess up,” she persisted. “Have
>oi> hoys been quarreling again?” i
YYho? Qs?_ Why, not exactly—"
“We sort of had words, melbe.”
“What about?"
There was an awkward, an omin
ous silence. “That,” Mr. Linton said,
in a harsh aj*d firm voice, “is some
thing I can’t discuss. It’s a persona!
matter.” .
“It ain’t personal with me," Jerry
announced, carelessly. “We was
talkin’ about Tom’s married life and
I happened to say—”
"Don’t!" Linton’s cry of warn
ing held a threat. "Don’t spill your
indecencies in the presence of this
child ■Or —I’ll hang the fryin-pan
around your neck. The truth is,”
lie told Letty, “there’s no use trving
to live wjth a horn’ toad. I’ve done
my best. I’ve let him defame me
to my face and degrade me. before
strangers, but he remains hostile to
every impulse in my being; he piclqs
and pesters and poisons me a thou
sand times a day. And snore! My
God! You ought to hear him at
night.”
Strangely enpugh, Mr. Quirk did
not react to this passionate outburst.
On the contrary, he bore it with in
dications qf a deep and genuine sat
is factioh.
“He’s workin’ up steam to propose
smother divorce,” said the object of
Tom’s tirade.
"That I am. Divorce is the word,”
Linton growded.
"IVhoop-ce!” Jerry uttered a high
pitched shout "I been waitin’ for
that. I wanted him to say it. Now
I’m free as air and twied as light.
\ou heard him propose it, didn't
you ?”
“W’at you goin’ do 'bout dis lay?”
'Poleon inquired.
“Split her,” yelled Jerry.
“Dis cabhi, too?”
“Sure. Slam a partition right
through her."
“We won’t slam no partition any
where,” Tom declared. “Think’ l’m
going to lay awake every night list
ening to distant bugles? No. We’ll
pull .her apart, limb for limb, and
divvy the logs. It's a pest-house,
anyhow. I’ll burn my share.”
Tom’* positive refusal even to per
mit mention of .the cause of the;
quarrel rendered‘efforts at a rccon**,
: ciliation difficult; ’Poteon’s and Rom
i letta’s attempts at badinage, thert-f
fore, were weak failures,'and their
don venation met with only the bari
; est politeness., How tfigt the truth
had escaped, neither partner could
r bring himself. to a serious considers
: tion of anything except his own in
' juries. They exchanged evil glances,
, they tcame into direct verbal contact
: only seldom, and when they did it
[ was to clash as tint upon Steel. No
statement of the one was sufficiently
conservative, broad,' to
escape a sneer and an immediate re
; futation from the other. Evidently
: the rift was deep and was widening
rapidly.
Now the injured husband himself
had often applied even more dispar'
aging terms to Jhe lady in question,
therefore the visitors were puzzle!
at his show of rabid resentment • th»
most they could make out of it was I
that he claimed the right of dispa•» I
agement as a personal and exclusim
privilege, and considered detractive
out of the lips of another a trespass 1
upon his intimate private affairs, an
aspersion and an insult. The wif«
i of a man’s bosom, he averred, wa*
' sacred; any creature who breathed
disrespect of her into the ears of het
husband was lower than a hole in
the ground and lacked the first qua!-
ifications of 4 friend, a gentleman, cr
a citizen.
Jerry, on the other hand, would net
iook at the matter in this light,
font had called the woman a “htl
lion,” therefore he was privileged t«
do the same, and any denial of th:>)
privilege was an iniquitous encroach
ment upon his sacred rights. Thos*
rights he proposed to safeguard, to
fight for if necessary. He would
died his last drop of blood in their
defense. No cantankerous old
grouch could refuse him free spehch
and get away with it.
'\ou're not really mad at eacV
other,” Rouletta told them.
"Ain’t we?" they hoarsely chor
used.
She shook her head. “Y'ou need
a change, that’s all. As a matter of
tact, your devotion td each other is
about the most beautiful, the movi
touching tiling I know. You'l lay
doivn your lives for each other,
>ou're like man and wife, and well
yon know it.”
, Cr/” Jerry was aghast
Which one of us is the woman? I
lecn insulted by experts, but none
<’.f cm ever called me ’Mrs. Linton/
She was a tough customer, a regu
lar hellion— ’’
ffes °ff again!’ Tom growled.
' ..Ie lay down my life for a squawk

word for the rest of time if I don’t

she’s come to you for help, queeck.”
(Potli old men became instantly
alert. "You in trouble?” Tom de
manded of the girl. “Who’s been
hurting you, I'd like to know?”
Jerry, too, leaned forward, and in
to his widening eyes came a stormy
°°k- . “Sure! Ha’S one of them
crawlin worms got fresh with you,
Lefty ? Say— 1 ’ He reached up and
removed his sjjt-shooter from its nail
over his bed.
Rouletta set thorn upon the right
track. Swiftly but earnestly she re-
nature and the circumstan
ces of the misfortune that had over
taken Pierce Phillips, and of the
fruitless efforts his friends were
making in his behalf. She concluded
by asking her hearers to go his bail.
by, sure!” Linton exclaimed,
with manifest relief. "That's easy,
in RO it, if they’ll take me.”
“There you are, hoggin' the cur
tain, as usual,” Jerry protested. “I'll
go his bail myself. I got him in
trouble at Sheep Camp. I owo
him—”
“I’ve known the boy longer than
you have. Besides, I’m a family
man; I know the anguish' of a par
ent’s heart—”
' Lay off that ‘family’ stuff,"
howled Mr. Quirk. "You know it
riles me. I could of had as much
of a family as you had if I’d wanted
to. You’d think it give vou some
sort of privilege. Why, ever since
we set up with Letty you’ve assumed
a fatherly air even to her, and you
act like I was a plumb outsider.
You remind me of a hen—settin’ on
every loose door-knob yon find."
. “If you’d lav off the ‘family* sub
ject we’d get along better.”
Once again the fray was on; it
raged intermittently throughout the
evening; it did not die out until bed
time put an end to it
Rouletta and her three companions
were late in reaching town on the
following day, for they awakened to
find a storm raging, and in conse
quence the trails were heavy. Out of
this white smother they plodded just
as the lights of Dawson were begin
nmg to gleam.. Leaving the men at
the Barracks, the girl proceeded to
her hotel. She had changed out of
her trail clothes and was upon the'
point of hurrying down-town to her
work when she encountered Hilda
