Let's get together on this ' proposition. Green's Studio. The SILVER HORDE : By REX BEACH. Author of "The Spoilers" and -The Barrier" town hi bj BUrpw Bratb.ni ... CHAPTER II. HO is she?" asked Emerson. "You- heard, didn't you? She's Miss Malotte. and she's certainly some considerable I lady." answered the crook. "Yes. but who Is she? What does this mean?" Emerson pointed to the provisions and fittings about them. "What is she doing here alone?" "Maybe you'd better ask her your self." said Fraser. For the first time In their brief ac quaintance Emerson detected a strange note lu the rogue's voice. The Indian girl summoned them, and they followed her through the long passageway into the other bouse, where, to their ntter astonishment, they seemed to step out of the frontier and Into the heart of civilization. They found a tiny dining room perfectly ap pointed, in the center of which, won der of wonders, was a round table gleaming like a deep mahogany pool, upon the surface of which floated gauzy hand worked napery. glinting sliver and sparkling crystal, the dark polish of the wood reflecting the light from shaded candles. It held a deli cately figured service of blue and gold. while the selection of thin stemmed glasses all in rows indicated the char acter of the entertainment that await ed them. The men's eyes were too busy with the unaccustomed sight to note details carefully, but they felt soft carpet beneath their feet and observed that the walls were smooth and har moniously papered. This Is m-marvelous," murmured Emerson. "I'm afraid we're not in keeping." "Indeed you are," said the girl, "and I am delighted to have somebody to talk to. It's very lonesome here." This Is certainly a swell tepee," Fra ser remarked. "How did you do it?" I brought my things with me from Nome." Nome!" ejaculated Emerson quickly. Yes." Why, I've been In Nome ever since the camp was discovered. It's strange we never met." I didn't stay there very long; I went back to Dawson." Again he fancied the girl's eyes held vague challenge, but he could not be sure, for she seated him and then gave some Instructions to the Aleut girl. Boyd, becoming absorbed In bis own thoughts, grew more silent as the signs of refinement and civilization about him revived memories long stifled. This was not the effect .for which the girl had striven. Her younger guesfs taciturnity, which grew aa the dinner progressed, piqued her, so at the first opportunity she bent her efforts toward rallying him. , He an swered politely, but she was powerless to shake off his mood. At last be spoke: Ton eatd those watchmen bare In struction not to harbor traveler. Why Is that r "It I tb policy of tb companle They are afraid somebody will discov er gold around here. You nee. this I the greatest salmon river In the world. The Tun' Is tremendous snd seems to be unfailing; hence the cannery people wish to keep It all to themselves." "I dou't quite understand"- MIt Is simple enough. Kalvlk Is so Isolated snd (be fishing season Is ho short that the companies have to semi their crews In from the States ami take them out again every summer Now. If gold were discovered here abouts the fishermen would all quit and follow the 'strike,' which would mean the ruin of the year's catcb and the loss of many bund reds of thou sands of dollars. Why, this village would become a city In no time If such a thing were to happen. The whole region would Mil tip wlrh miner, and not only would labor condition be en tirely upset for years, bur the eyes of the world, being turned this way. oth er people might go Into the fishing business and create a competition which would both Influence prices and deplete tbe supply of fish In the Kal vlk river. So. you see, there are many reasons 'why this region Is forbidden to miners. You couldn't buy a jkiuih! of food nor get a night's lodging here for a king's run so in. Tbe watchmen's Jobs depend iiwn their unbroken liond of Inhospitullty, and the Indians dare not sell you anything, not even a dog fish, under penalty of starvation, for they are dependent upon tbe compa nies' stores." "So that is why you have establish ed a trading post of your own?" I "Oh. dear. no. This Isn't a store. This food ts for my men." "Your men?" I "Yes. I have a crew out In the hills on a grub stake. This Is our cache. ; While they prospect for gold I stand ' guard over the provisions." Fraser chuckled softly. "Then you are bucking the salmon trust?" "After a fashion, yes. I knew this ' country bad never been gone over, so I staked sis meu, chartered a schoon , er and came down here from Nome in the early spring. We stood off the watchman, and when tbe supply ships arrived we had these bouses compter ed. and my men were out In the hills where It was bard to follow thern. I stayed behind and stood tbe brunt of things." "But surely they didn't undertake to injure you?" said Emerson, now thcr oughly interested in this extraordinary young woman. "Oh, didn't they!" she answered, with a peculiar laugh. "You don't ap preciate the character of these people. There is no real code of financial mo rality, and the battle for dollars is tbe bitterest of all contests. Of course, being a woman, they couldn't very well attack me personally, but they tried everything excep physical violence, and I don't know bow long they will refrain from that. These plants are owned separately, but they operate un der sn agreement with one man at tbe head. His name is Marsh Willis Marsh and of course he's not my friend." "Sort of "united we stand, divided we fall.' " "Exactly. That spreads the respon sibility and seems to leave nobody guilty for his evil deeds. The first thing they did was to sink my schoon er. In the morning you will see her spars sticking up through the ice out In front there. One of their tugs 'ac cidentally ran her down, although she was at anchor fully 300 feet Inside tbe channel line. Then Marsh actually bad the effrontery to come here per sonally and demand damages for tbe Injury to bis towboat, falsely claiming WITH A QUICK STROM HS CUT A SIMOU LXAf. there were no lights en the schooner. When I still remained obdurate he he" She paused. "You may have heard of it He killed one of my men." "Impossible!" ejaculated Boyd. "Oh. but it Isn't Impossible. Any thing Is possible with unscrupulous men where there Is no law. They bait at nothing when In chase of money, rhey are different from women In that I never heard of a woman doing mur der for money." "Was It really murder?" "Judge for yourself. My man came down for supplies, and they got him drunk he was a drinking man then Ibey stabbed him. They said a China man did It In a brawl, but Willis Marsh was to blame. They brought Jhe poor fellow here and laid him on toy steps, as If I had been the cause 4t k. Oh. It was horrible, borrlbler "And you still stuck to your post?" kid Emerson curiously. "Certainly! This adventure means a great deal to me, and, besides. I will not be beaten" tbe stem of the ghew with wblcb sbe bad been toying nnup ped suddenly "r anything." The unsuspected luxury of the dm Ing room and tbe excellence of the d.u ner Itself bud In a measure pie.iu. i Emerson for what be fouud In the m lug room. One thing (daggered him piano. Tbe bearskin on the tJHt. Mi., big sleepy chairs, the reading tal.ie lit tered with magazines, the heu.'- .r books, even tbe basket of fancy work all these be could accept without tur tber parleying, bur a piano In Kalrik' Again Boyd withdrew Into thai si lent mood from wblcb no effort on the part of bis bos ten could amuse tilin. and It soou became apparent from tbe listless hang of bis bauds aud tbe dis tant light lu his eyes that he hud even become unconscious of her preseuce In the room After an hour, during which Emer son barely spoke, she tired of Fraser's anecdotes, wblcb hud long censed to be amusing, und. going to piano, shuf fled the sheet music Idly. Inquiring; "Do you care for music?" Her re mark was aimed at Emerson, but the other answered: "My favorite hymn Is the 'Maple Leaf Uag' l.er her go. professor." Cherry settled herself obligingly and played ragtime. She was In the midst of some svneonared measure when Boyd spoke abruptly. "Please play something." She understood what lie meant and began really to play, realizing very soon that at least oDe of her guests knew aud loved music. I.'nder her deft fingers the Instrument Itecame a medium for musical speech. (Jay roundelays, swift, passiouate Hunga rian dances, bold Wagnerlau strains followed In quick succession, and the more her utter abandon the more cer tainly she felt the younger man re spond Then her dream filled eyes widened as sbe listened to bis voice breathing life Into the words. He sang with tbe ease and flexibility of au artist, bis powerful baritoue blending perfectly with her contralto. For the first time sbe felt tbe man's personality, his magnetism, as If be had dropped bie cloak aud stood at her side in bis true semblance. "Ob. thank you." she breathed. "Thank you." he said. "1 1 that's tbe first time in ages that I've had the heart to sing. I was hungry for nu sic; 1 was starving for It. I've sat in my cabin at night longing for it until my soul fairly ached with tbe silence." He took a seat near tbe girl aud con tinued to talk feverishly, unable to give voice to his thoughts rapidly enough. Fraser ambled clumsily Into the con versation. Emerson listened tolerant ly. Idly running through tbe maga zines at his band, his hostess watch ing him covertly. Suddenly tbe smile of amusement that lurked about bis lip corners and gave him a pleasing look hardened in a queer fashion. He started, thea stared at one of the pages, while the color died out of his brown cheeks. Cherry saw tbe band that held tbe magazine tremble. He looked up at her and. disregarding Fraser. broke In harshly: ''Have you read this magazine?" "Not entirely." "I'd like to take one page of It." "Why, certainly," she replied. He produced a knife and with one quick stroke cut a single leaf out of the magazine, which he folded and thrust into the breast of his coat. Thank you." he muttered, then fell to staring ahead of him, again heed less of bis surroundings. This abrupt relapse into his former state of sullen and defiant silence tantalized tbe girl. He offered no explanation and took no further part in the conversation until, noting the lateness of the hour, be rose and thanked her for her hos pitality in the same deadly. Indifferent manner. "The music was a great treat," be aid, looking beyond her and holding aloof, "a very great treat 1 enjoyed it immensely. Good night" Cherry Malotte bad experienced a new sensation, and sbe didn't like it She vowed angrily that she disliked men who looked past her. Indeed, she could not recall any other who had ever done so. Her chief concern had always been to check their ardor. Sbe resolved viciously that before she was through with this young man be would make her a less listless adieu. Sbe as sured herself that he was a selfish, sul Jen boor, who needed to be taught a lesson in manners for his own good if ifor nothing else. She darted to tbe ta ble, snatched up the magazine and skimmed through it feverishly. Ah, bere was the place! ' a woman's face with some meaning less name beneath filled each page. Along the top ran the heading. "Fa mous American Beauties." So it was woman! Sbe skipped backward and forward among the pages for further 'possible enlightenment but there waa po article accompanying the-, pictures. It was merely an Illustrated section 'devoted to the photographs of promi nent actresses and society women, most of whom sbe had never beard of. though here and there she saw a name that waa familiar. In the center was that tantallzlngiy clean cut edge which bad subtracted a face from the gal lerya face which she wanted very much to see. ' Sbe shrugged ber shoulders careless ly. Then, In a sudden access of fury. he flung the mutilated magazine vi ciously Into a far corner of tbe room. The travelers slept late on tbe fol lowing morning, for tbe weariness of Weeks was upon them, snd tbe little bunk room they occupied adjoined tbe main building and was dark. When they rame forth tbey found Chakawa- J is lo tbe store and a few moments ater were called to breakfast "Where Is yonr mistress?" Inquired Boy "She go ewe my sick broder." said tbe ludlau girl, recalling Cherry's mention of the child 111 with measles "She all the time give medicine to Aleut babies." Cbakiiwana continued, "all the tUue give, give, give some thing. Indian people love ber." Tbey weiv still talking when lliey beard the Jingle of many bells, and rbf door burst open to admit Cherry, who came with a rush of youth aud hoa.ili as fresh as the bracing air that follow ed her Tbe cold had reddened ! cheeks and quickened her eye. "Good morning, gcutletnen!" sti cried, removing the white fur hood which gave u setting to her sparkling eyes and teeth "Oh. but It's a glorl ous morning! We did the five miles from the village In seventeen minutes." "And how is your measly patleut?" asked Fraser "lie's doing well, thank you." She stepped to the dmtr to admit Ch:il;a watia. who had erldently hurried around from the other house and now catne in. bareheaded and heedless of the cold, hearing a bundle clasped lo her breast "I brought the little fel low home with me See!" "1 dare say Kalvlk Is rather lively during die summer seusou." Fmerson remarked to Cherry later In the day "Yes. Hie ships arrive In May, and the 1Kb licuin io run In July AJter that iioIhhIv -Jeeps " "It must lie iiii her Interesting." "It Is more i ban that: It Is Inspiring Why. the story of the salmon Is an epic lu itself. You know tbey live a cycle of four years, uo more, always returning to the waters of their nativ ity to die. And I have heard It said that during one of those four years they disappear, no one kuows where, reappearing out of the mysterious depths of the sea as If at a signal. They come by the legion. In countless scores of thousands, aud when once they have tasted Ibe waters of their blrtb tbey never touch food again, nev er cease their onward rush until they become bruised and battered wrecks, drifting down from the spawning beds. When the call of nature is answered and tbe spawn is laid they die. They never seek (be salt sea again, but car pet the rivers with their bones. When they feel the homing impulse they come from the remotest depths, bead ing unerringly for the particular par ent stream whence they originated. If sand bars should block their course in dry seasons or obstacles Intercept them tbey will burl themselves out of the water in an endeavor to get across. They may disregard a thousand rivers one by one. but when tbey finally taste the sweet currents which flow from their birthplaces their whole nature changes, and even their physical fea tures alter. They grow thin, and the bead takes on the sinister curve of tbe preying bird. "Why. you Just ought to witness the run.' These empty waters become suddenly crowded, and the fish come In a great silver horde, which races up. up. up toward death and obliteration. They come with tbe violence of a sum mer storm; like a prodigious, gleaming army they swarm and bend forward, eager, undevlating. one purposed. It's quite impossible to describe It this great silver horde. They are entirely defenseless, of course, and almost every living thing preys upon them. The birds congregate In millions, tbe four footed beasts come down from the hills, tbe Apaches of tbe sea harry them In dense droves, and even man appears from distant coasts to take bis toll, but still tbey press bravely on. Tbe clank of machinery makes the bills rumble; the hiss of steam and tbe sighs of tbe soldering furnaces are like tbe complaint of some giant overgorglng himself.". "How long does It all last?" "Only about six weeks; then tbe furnace fires die out the ships are loaded, the men go to sleep, after wblcb Kalvlk sags back into Its ten months' coma, becoming, as you see it now, a dead, deserted village, shunned by man." "But I don't see bow those huge plants can pay for their upkeep with such a short run." "Well, they do. and, what's more, tbey pay tremendously, sometimes 100 per cent a year or more. "Two years ago a ship sailed Into port in early May loaded with an army of men with machinery, lamber, coal, and so forth. They landed, built the plant and had It ready to operate by the time the run started. Tbey made their catch and sailed away again In August with enough salmon In tbe hold to pay twice over for tbe whole thing Willis Marsh did even better than that tbe year before, but of course tbe price of fish was high then. Next sea son will be another big, year." "How is that?" "Every fourth season the run la large; nobody knows why. Every time there Is a presidential election tbe flab are shy and very scarce; that lifts prices. Every year In which a presi dent of tbe United States is inaugurat ed tbey are plentiful." Emerson rose. "I bad no Idea there were such prof its In the fisheries up bere." "Nobody knows It outside of. those Interested.' Tbe Kalvlk river la tbe most wonderful salmon river In tbe world, for It baa never failed once. That's why the . companies guard It ao Jealously." It was evident that the young man was vitally Interested now: "What does It cost to Install and op erate a cannery for the first season?" "About $200.000. 1 am told. But I be lieve one can mortgage bis catcb. or 1 borrow money on It from the banks, and m Bat have to earrv the full bur den." . j "What's to prevent m frptn going Into tbe business 7" "Several things. Dave you tbe mon- yr Tosslbly. What elar "A sit". "That ought to be easy." Cherry laughed. "On the contrary, a suitable cannery site la very hard to get because there art natural condi tions necessary, fresh flowing water for one. and. furthermore, because tbe companies have taken them all up." "Ah! I see."' The ifgbt died out of Emerson's eyes; tbe eagerness left his voice. He flung himself dejectedly Into a chair by the fire, moodily watch ing the dames licking the burning logs. AU at once be gripped tbe anna of bis chair and muttered through set Jaws. "God. I'd like to take one more chance." (To be Continued.) How's This?
