up or get out take your choice with those words the superintendent turned on his heel and woe gone meades throat felt painfully constricted tnn coffhnls outburst seemed so out of proportion to any fault of his that the young engineer felt the red coals of anger eimmerlng within he picked up the plans from tho rough board table of the shack but the instruction sheet blurred before his eyes unable to concentrate on the details before him he stared with painoiled eyes out of the door at the sawtoothed ranges of greenclad mountains now tinted rede and yellows at their tips as the fiery ball of the sun sank below the ragged western eky line youth sen sitive and the superintendents sharp words had pricked meades bubble of pride the young man sought balm for wounded feelings in reviewing the past he had completed his second year of the difficult university of washington engineering course at nineteen which was something of which to bo proud his parents lacked sufficients money to send his two sisters and his younger brother through high school while keep ing meade in college so he hod sought work for year to earn enough to pay bis expenses in college his remaining two years his instructor hod tclfc no hesitancy in recommending meade to the company building railroad into the interior of alaska since he had proved an apt student ho had taken an alaskabound boat for
