Jitter at Anthony's station they find the redskins have carried their destructive Work there also. Stella Anthony, daugh­ ter of Anthony, keeper of station, is in­ troduced. Anthony has been killed. Vincent is assigned his work in unearth­ ing plans of enemies of railroad, being built. Vincent visits town where railroad men are working on the road and receives token of esteem from Stella. The old stage driver decides to work close to town in order that he may be able to keep fatherly watch over the young Woman. She is engaged as a tutor Jor Viola Bernard, daughter of hotel land­ lady. Vincent visits society circles of en­ emies of the Central Pacific railroad and learns their secrets. He returns to Stella, each showing signs of love for the other. Phineas Cadwallader, pushing a railroad opposing Central Pacific, reaches mining town. She writes to Alfred Vincent his boast. Plying his attentions Cadwallader Insults her and she is rescued by Gideon, her father's servant. In turn he proposes marriage, is rejected, leaves her declaring he will return the sort of a man she will love.

P. he decides to retire to position of a brakeman for a Short time. Stella hears from her lover, Gideon, and of his phenomenal success. Finds letter of Importance Involving plans «f opposition road. "Uncle Billy" returns In terrible suffering from long mountain trtp. Plot to destroy company's ship Flora is unearthed and incriminating evi­ dence against Cadwallader on charge of wlr<> tapping is also found, the letters found by Stella being deciphered by Brakeman Alfred Vincent, who arrives On scene. 4 CHAPTER XI.--Continued. Alfred stretched his weary legs and went out into the cool evening. The day had been stressful and a bed would have been welcome. Yet Stella! He looked Into the overhead blue and Bmw a young moon that might last till 11 o'clock. "A light night! I can ride fast and do it by 9:30," he said to himself with |udden cheer. "Stella!" • A hasty snack at a nondescript res­ taurant, a fresh horse and he was again in the saddle, following the stage track westward, re-riding the miles that he might have an hour with Stella--dear Stella, who had discov­ ered the plot and whose service to hu­ manity and to the Central Pacific Rail­ road company might never be known to.more than Alvin and himself. CHAPTER XII. "Our Banner Shall Float Red." George Gregory urged his horse to * gaHop over the rough path that •kirted the long string of ties--ties that had waited many days for iron. The noon hour was on. At all the camps men and beasts were feeding. The superintendent took letters and dispatches that met him as he dis* mounted, and, passing his bridle to the man in waiting, weot to the lee aide of the dining tent to read them before eating. One after another he glanced over yellow slips, tore open envelopes. < "No iron yet. 'Flora' detained," he read, and groaned as be thought of bare ties, and the 50 miles still far from finished. Snatches of low table talk came to Gregory, fitful straws on gusts that swoop along the track of labor, con­ trary to the steadier gales of capital. "The Union Pacific ain't doin' nothln' neither; failed in their con- tracts," one voice said. "If that company can't build a rail­ road next door to cheap food, cheap iron, good forage and a flat country, what do these C. P. fellers expect to do against a wall of rock standing on edge a mile an' a half high?" "Yes; an' 40 feet of snow on top of that," a third added. "An' thar's the iron--not enough to be had, no ships to tote it, an' 20,000 miles to come." " The superintendent heard, though feye and mind were reading letters. He though of the delayed "Flora," and pain stabbed sharper at his tem­ ples. A shuffling inside warned the super­ intendent that the meal was nearly finished. He moved off a little that the men might not guess themselves overheard; scrutinized them keenly as they filed out and sought here or there a sheltered spot for pipe or chew be­ fore the short respite ended. The superintendent went inside and ate sparingly of the coarse food, di­ gestion losing its fight to the over­ wrought brain. Why could not the din­ ner-time critics, with all their know­ ings, have gained yet a few other facts? Land Jobbers and stock specu­ lators held the Union Pacific fran­ chise by the throat, dallied with the work, cheated their contractors. These cheated in turn, making their cuts narrow and ragged, their fills loose and brush padded, starving their men and failing with their ttene limit. No wonder United States commissioners refused the road! But the men of pick and shovel-- men upon whom, then as now, depends the success of all contests with na­ ture--saw only the bare fact, failure. And failure in the east meant, doubly, failure in the west! A second time Gregory read a San Francisco newspaper clipping in­ closed in a letter from the treasurer: "The Central Pacific company f»n never build on time as long as the present owners control the Sacra­ mento Valley road. That little link, with its Freeport connection, and its arms outreached to Mc Lane's road go­ ing east from Placerville, will put the iron horse to the state line long before Stanford can jjake good his bluff at his time limit The stat«f and the na­ tional governmei t should hail McLane and his associates as their saviors from a monstrous steal." "That's the cussed stuff that works like slow poison among the men, ma- 'ldng sight crooked and brains mag­ goty," Gregory thought aloud as he npnt to a rude kit for paper and pen. Be wrote steadily for an hour, handed; letters and dispatches to a messenger and was off again. Riding west to the end of the rails two hours later he rounded the elbow of a small hill and came upon a gang of track-layers working alone, the fore­ man being hidden by a second s^arp turn. For a moment the men did not know themselves watched. Some were resting on their hammer handles, some snatching a surreptitious smoke, while low joke and dialogue ran lazily around. Others kept up a noise with half-hearted blows at the spikes. "Take your time, boys. This is all the iron for a month o' Sundays. Something's gone wrong with the 'Flora,' an' the last lot was shipped on her.' The plunge of the horse, urged upon the men with cruel spur, startled them into rigidity. Gregory's hair bristled under his hat. His nose lifted threat­ eningly. His cheek paled and his eyes flung a burning spark to every shirkling soul. "You hell-hounds! Call this work? Is this what you're giving the C. P. company for their good coin? You think any railroad under God's canopy can be built a-sitting on your ham­ mers? I'll break your worm-eaten heads! I'll set men over you with shotguns! I'll send you into kingdom come without wooden overcoats! I'll --" His invectives torq along the line came to pass with unexpected prompt­ ness. The governor entered, outwardly the genial* rosy- citizen adored by Cali­ fornia's beat, wrapped as with a man­ tle in his optimistic atmosphere of success. But to-day he was face to face with crime. Phineas' tricks might be veiled--his tricky heart was not. The governor measured him In an in­ stant and went on guard. "Yes., sir, I can do it; I can deliver the goods," Phineas said emphatically, after a full statement of his proposi­ tion and sharp questions from his lis­ tener. "Let me understand you thoroughly. We'll go over it again, and slowly. It is too important a matter to be hur­ ried--or bungled. You agree to de­ liver into our hands within one month from date a controlling number of shares in the Sacramento Valley rail­ road ?" "I do." "You agree to enter our empioy, and hereafter work for our interests as you have before now worked for those opposing us?" "I do." "You promise to keep secrets in­ trusted to you, and never by any sort of word or communication to disclose the nature of this interview, to give the slightest hint that it ever took place ?" "I do." "Very well." There followed a few farther de­ tails of the bargain. At a nod from the governor toward the hall door, un­ seen by Phineas, a man with scratch­ pad and pencil entered so quietly that only by the expression on the govern­ or's face was his coming announced to Phineas. He turned and started half out of his chair, yet quickly composed himself again. "Did you get that perfectly?" the governor asked of the stenographer. He nodded affirmatively. "Read it." The governor's voice was stern. Phineas went ashen as the sale of himself to the corporation he hated. I'm sure I shall, sir. I've been »n sympathy with you from the start, but I had to serve those who paid me,'- The governor scowled at the bald sycophancy. "Words are cheap, Mr. Cadwallade'r." He rose, stepped to the door to make sure of privacy, re­ turned and stood near Phineas. His large body, powerful instrument of a still more powerful will, towered above Phineas unconsciously threatening. His eye, not kind as it ever was for friends and right doets, but the eye that confounded malevolence, burned into the other man's very soul, downed his gaze, held him cowering in his chair. "We Bhal) expect more than words from you, Mr. Cadwallader. Anil to insure your continual interest in our welfare I have to tell you that we hold A "Let Every Man in Camp Know the Iron Is Coming.1 like thunderbolts. Rough men, desper­ ate some of them were, cowed under his blasting tirade, breathing easily again only when he turned to meet the luckless foreman coming round the point Late in the afternc jn a hurrying messenger overtook the "boss" with dispatches. "The 'Flora' is at Sacra­ mento. Iron at Front to-morrow. Crocker." The superintendent handed the tele­ gram to Bennett. "Pass it along," he said. "Let every man in camp know the iron is coming." Bennett moved away, and Gregory took off his hat and threw back his head. A long breath of relief brought ease, and he lifted his eyes to the firmament. The gray day had passed. The sun pAused in splendor on the western heights, flinging a triumphant red banner across to meet the ap­ proaching twilight curve. CHAPTER XIII. Vanquished. Alone in his chamber Phineas gloomed. The company had prose­ cuted on the charge of wire-tapping only. This troubled Phineas but lit­ tle. Fulfilling his expectation in case of discovery, certain merchants of San Francisco had raised a large sum for his bail; retained for his defense the best lawyers in the state. As he had been held on the lighter charge he felt sure the plot to blow up the steamer was still secret. He fumed at the Stupidity of his underlings, never suspecting another cause might have saved the "Flora." Whether chance or j)lan had given Phineas his name he knew not; but he had believed in its meaning, gloried in it. Phineas, mouth of brass; Cad­ wallader, battle arranger. Many a brazen battle had he arranged and fought to a successful finish. But these were past. The easy* luxurious life was surely gone. The best seat, the finest room, the open cigar case, drinks that cost him nothing, the still- hunt for secrets, popularity, jollity- all that he best loved was lost In­ stead the--prison, perhaps. Restless­ ly he walked the narrow room, his courage rising, while his nimble brain wove him yet another bold plot. Through his attorney he contrived an interview with Gov. Stanford that sentence by sentence, was riveted. But he was Intrepid still, sitting erect, listening carefully. "Is that correct, Mr. Cadwallader?" "Quite so, Gov. Stanford." In spite of himself his lips trembled. But his tone was steady. It would not be so bad, he thought. "Then sign it" the governor said; and Phineas felt himself vanquished by the tone. He took up the pen, hesitated an ap­ preciable Instant his face contracting slightly yet quickly clearing, and signed. The governor did not fail to inter­ pret correctly that hesitancy. He dis­ missed the clerk and turned to Phineas. "Mr. Cadwallader, I shall hot attempt to conceal from you the satisfaction this transaction affords me. I hope it will not be otherwise with you. Serve us well and you will find the Central Pacific company a fair employer." "Then Sign It." a perfect chain of evidence convicting you of intent to blow up the 'Flora.' Our people found the powder, the fuse, the open packages of petroleum. We know the man you hired te carry out the plot, we have a correct reading of your cipher dispatch, some certified affidavits--all that Is needed to send you to the penitentiary. This is filed away safely. The day you betray us by word or sign, or to the amount of a two-bit piece, you will be arrested and put on trial. Good afternoon." The governor left the room without a glance at the man behind him. CHAPTER XIV. Hearts Revealed. Phineas "delivered his goods;" and the historic Sacramento Valley rail­ road, the first bit of track on the Pa­ cific coast, the iron link that proved to be the undoing of the spurious San Francisco & Washoe railroad, dropped mysteriously into the bands of the Central Pacific company. The opposition, defeated, yet never dead, still cried "Wolf!" But no cry was loud enough to flutter the brave men at Sacramento. Only nature and the nation's extremities could retard them now. And against these ene­ mies in the open, officers and em­ ployes, down to the humblest took heart of grace and charged again the rocky ramparts of the Sierras. When the angel of death swept down in the breath of the powder flash upon James Sackett, an unborn child was blighted. It came later to its birth, only to sigh and pass to the care of him who ruleB life and two eternities. Through weary weeks the mother lingered, unaroused to conva­ lescence by hope or by skill of phy­ sicians. The warm frontier heart at the town watched and sorrowed with her, cheerfully adding the burden to their laden shoulders; supplying all possible comfort and every obtainable luxury. Stella, regularly attentive in the sickroom, reported daily v to Alfred. His humble bei-th of "extra" brakeman had brought his sleeping hours in the little town, left his evenings free. For several weeks he had devoted these to planning a benefit for Mrs. Sackett that was to invade Jointly the do­ mains of Thalia, Polyhymnia and Terpsichore. For days Stella and Viola had tolled at the tasks Alfred set them. Details, as well as most of the men's parts, rested on Alfred, for men were too busy or too bashful for "play acting." He had chosen short extracts from one or two popular plays and planned a couple of charades representing local interests. He had drilled Viola in the rendering of some songs and a boy or two in recitation. But the ambi­ tious part of the performance was to be two scenes from "Romeo and Juliet J' Under Alfred's tuition Stella discov­ ered a different Shakespeare from her father's pompous poet. Stella walked on air. Weight seemed to leave her body. Sleep and food were no longer necessities. All day she longed for evening; all night dreamed it ove* again. She was journeying the old, old rose-path, believing herself a dis­ coverer! (TO BE CONTINUED.) m fiStl Saved Merchant From Ruin Word from J. P. Morgan Brought Needed Financial Help. A Washington treasury official who has just returned from Nef York tells a stOFy illustrative of the effort of J. Pierpont Morgan, the New York finan­ cier, to stop the financial depression. A Jewish manufacturer had been operating his business for some time on credit His notes fell due early In November, and he went to a bank to get them renewed. Though he had been a large depositor and was known to be a man of scrupulous honesty, the bank declined to grant him an ex­ tension, insisting that he should pay his notes on the day they fell due. This was impossible, and bankruptcy stared him in the face. He went to a friend and asked him what he should do. "No bank will loan you & cent" said his adviser. '1 have it Go to Mr. Morgan and state yonr case to him." "Oh, he won't do any tiling lor me," the manufacturer responded hopeless­ ly. "But I'll try, anyhow." 'Mr. Morgan received him courteous­ ly and listened to his statement. Then he turned to bis phone and rang up the bank. "Mr. So and So is in my office," he said, "and tells me yon have declined to grant him an extension of his notes. It is just such people as you who are making the condition serious. Unless those notes are renewed, I shall make it my business to ruin you." Then the financier turned to his caller. "I think," he said, "you will find the bank willing to extend yoar notes. It was. Perhaps the most uncomfortable mo ment in a man's life is that one in w h i c h h e t a k e s a s e a t i n a b o x a t a play and sees his employer sitting in an orchestra chair among the ord) nary people. FOR GOOD MUSHROOM CATSUP. To Pulp of Vegetable Must Be Added Wine or Vinegar. * Choose fully developed mushrooms, rejecting the stems. Thoroughly wash them, singly, in cold water; peel, drain, chop coarsely, and scatter salt evenly through them in layers, a level tablespoon of salt to every quart measured after chopping. Set them upon ice or in a cool place for 24 hours, Next put them in a preserving kettle, simmer for 15 minutes, rub through a puree sieve, measure, and to each pint of this pulp allow one- half pint of port wine and a dozen, each, of black peppercorns and cloves, an4 a level tablespoon of white mus­ tard seed. Tie these, with two or three blades cf mace and a bit of horseradish root, in a piece of cheesecloth and simmer in a little of the wine for 15 minutes, adding a little water as it boils away, to keep up the original quantity. Add to this the rest of the wine and the palp, simmer five minutes more, and seal boiling hot, using self-sealing pint jars. If a clear catsup is desired, strain it when done through a jelly bag, squeez­ ing well to extract all the liquid; re­ heat to the boiling point and seal. The unstrained contains more sub­ stance. Fine with game. A table- spoonful adds a delightful flavor to ragouts, meats sauces, and gravies. Pure cider vinegar may be substi­ tuted for the wire. * HOUSEHOLD HINTS. In warm weather put eggs in cold water and they will froth better. To prevent pastry from burning set a pan of water in the oven while it Is baking. Never try to Ice a cake hot and let layer cake get nearly cold before put­ ting together. Always use lard to grease your cake pans, as the salt in the butter causes it to stick to the pans. To clean small pearls in jewelry or mother of pearl use whiting and wa­ ter. Never apply Boapsuds, as It dis­ solves pearl. Any one who has tried to keep a vel­ vet hat or frock clean does not need to be told it is a dust collector. This trying trait may be turned to account. A bit of velvet is a fine polisher for brass. It quickly removes the dust from woodwork or shoes soiled from walking which do not need reblacking. To remove old paint wet the place with naphtha, repeating as often as necessary; but frequently one appli­ cation will dissolve the paint As soon as it is softened, rub the surface clean. Making Lemonade. There is nothing more refreshing on a hot day than a long drink of lemon­ ade, but however anxious the hostess may be to serve this beverage, she very often does not have the necessary ingredients on hand, or she may not like to leave her guests to prepare It. It is just for this reason that the sy­ rup that may be prepared by the fol­ lowing recipe is one of the greatest at household conveniences: Extract the juice from a dozen lemons; grate the rind of six of the lemons and add 1% to the Juice. Let the mixture stand for 12 hours, or over night. In the morning make a thick syrup of gran­ ulated sugar and water, using about six pounds of sugar and just as little water as possible, as the syrup must be Ijoth thick and smooth. When it has cooled strain the lemon juice Into it; bottle in glass, being certain that the taps are secure and air-tight. To Make Cream Puffs. In making cream puffs, boil one cup hot water and one-quarter cup of but­ ter till the butter is melted. Take from fire and add one cup of sifted flour in which has been put one tea- spoonful of baking powder. Stir un­ til a sort of ball is formed of the dough. Set aside to cool while beat­ ing four eggs. Add eggs and beat dough steadily for five minutes. One tablespoonful makes a puff. Bake for 20 minutes in moderate oven. To make the filling use one pint of milk, four tablespoons of sugar, two table­ spoons of cornstarch, two eggs. Cook in double boiler until thick. Any flavoring desired may be used. Brighten Woodwork. In order to keep furniture and hard­ wood floors looking bright and new. In­ stead of using dry cloth for dusting, dampen same with furniture polish, rub well into the cloth, using just enough to dampen lightly. It will last several days without applying more polish. For floors make soft flannel bag to slip over end of the broom, tying with string to fasten at top, dampen It with polish same as furniture. This saves lots of hard work and has fine effect Preparing Dough. After cooky dough has been pre­ pared instead of using a cutter in the old way turn out part of the dough at a time on bread board and with hand roll a long round roll about five inches thick. Then with a sharp knife cut off In small pieces about one-half inch thick; place in baking pan and give plenty of room to swell or spread. Will bake in perfect shape and is much quicker. Soup Made of Corn. Press a cam of corn through a fruit press or sieve, removing all the meat from the grains of corn. Throw away the little hard shells. Put in a kettle with three cups of milk--half water can be used, but all milk is richer; one tablespoon of butter, salt and pep­ per to taste. Make a thin thickening of water and flour and add, cooking 15 minutes. Remove from fire, stir well and serve. Put Boxes In Closets. Wooden boxes to stand upon in clos- tts when one needs to reach the high shelves will be found a great addition to the house and a saving to the chairs. Save all wooden boxes and stain them to match the woodwork and fit them with castors. A hinged cover makes the box a useful recep­ tacle for shoes. 8ave Flour Remnants. After putting bread into pans scrape mixing board and bread pan, putting all scrapings into flour sifter. Now »ift flour back into chest and throw away scrapings. This wastes no flour.
