learned tbo university of washington when huge figure of man suddenly loomed in the doorway of the construction camp hack meade occupied the likeable blue eyes of the youth lighted as he sat up on hla bunk but the smile forming on hto wide mouth froze at the moment of birth at the stony hardness of the big mans rugged brown pace and the cold ness of his eyes which reminded meade of the blue ice he had observed that aummcr lh glaciers the youth opened his mouth to greet the superintendent of construction daniel cofflin but the old construction mans savage outburst silenced him baby stuff

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

atuff and try to keep what mind you possess on the job tears were close to the surface of his azure eyes and his throat was so dry and aching that meade could not reply the roughhewn superintendent stood watching tho youths twitching face for acveral silent moments his nuubrown face almost softening he turned on his heel as before however stalking out of the board sha there was dismaying emptiness wluiin moodo be he stared at his plans again with aching eyes ho could not believe he was oa far off as tho super had suggested until ho went out with his flash light to verify tho fcruth he
