Central Pacific •• workers make great progress upon arrival of iron, build- in® ten miles in one day. CHAPTER XXXIII.--Continued. No man among them all had worked 4US hard as he had worked. Month tjy month his flesh had dropped away, "his cheek tanned darker, as he fought "his way from ocean to inland sea. The sspare, square frame and the seamed face -had changed him, aged him sad­ ly. He had paid in heart and body on this tremendous project. And to his Anxious wife, praying for this con­ flict to end, no less than to the ex­ hausted men, his cry came like a *Iad clarion. "It's ten miles, boys! Ten miles In one day! There's their camp! We'll touch Union Pacific rails to-morrow At Promontory!" "Hooray! Another stride of the Cen­ tral Pacific's seven-league boots to- •ward Brigham's drove of tender <ewes!" cried some inpertinent voioe. v Hammers dropped. Backs unbent, nor recked of pain. Cheer after cheer rent the still night. Ten miles! Ten .miles! The greatest day's work in the 'World's railroad history! Gregory went to his car happy, kissed his wife, joined his guests in a Jolly mapper, and slept--slept AS he Jiad not for months. CHAPTER XXXJV. Freedom at Last. From all America, from Europe and :irom the north, they came to join that anonster excursion to the front. San Francisco was awake at laBt. Uew York and Chicago had invaded tier domain. Into her home preserves, to her very , doors, they carried their .audacious fight for business; cut her territory clean away with their broad­ sword of low prices. Like other lag­ gards, she exulted over the victory «he had tried to make defeat; and •called aloud: "Come all good Ameri­ cans, come all the world, help us cele­ brate. Even the Sacramento "Clar­ ion" in "a burst of justice resented this, 4tnd announced to Jthe world the names -of the men, the city, and the two or three counties that, not only without San Francisco, but in spite of her, !had accomplished the achievement of the age. Now began to arrive forerunners 4)f the event; the polished laurel tie And its silver plate, with an inscrip­ tion that is to-day historic; the four- liund red-dollar golden spike, topped 'with a nugget as long as itself; the "heavy silver hammer, the gold, silver «nd iron spikes from Arizona. jGregory rushed from one task to Anbther, sending back to California the greater part of his forces and ap­ paratus, that they might pierce other mountains, conquer other deserts with aew iron highways. Mr. Crocker was no less busy, flying back and forth between the Front and SaTt Lake City, •where the horde of visitors Increased <each day. Governor Stanford and his iellow-directors weje there also, sleep- ilessly planning, organizing, making •capital and Influence with the le$d- <ers of the great inland hierarchy. Alfred, quite recovered, was indis- g>ensahle in many ways, hastening the tremendous cleaning, polishing, pre­ paring, that proceeded steadily among All concerned, from stoker to presi­ dent. They were counting the time be­ fore the event by hours, when Alfred, •carrying a telegram and an open let­ ter, hurried up to Mr. Crocker. "I'm called suddenly east, to my tether, Mr. Crocker. I wish to be re­ leased, to go immediately." "What? What, boy? Is year-father dead?" "No, sir; it's--It's a business mat' "Business! A business matter?" the superintendent repeated incredulously. "We can't spare you, Vincent--not for A month, at least. Settle your busi­ ness by telegraph! Write your tele­ gram--never mind length--and I'll trank it for you." "It's a matter that f caa't easd over tfe# wjm. sir." „ • > "Jove! Put it off, then! It'll keep. I'll let you go the first of June."-*^ Alfred burst the bonds of years... "I can't wait, Mr. Crocker! Not a day! For nearly eight years I've been an outcast from home and name, sin As I've hoped for reinstatement at home, with hand and foot, heart and brain, I've served this railroad. The girl I wished to marry, but could not, has suffered incredibly for my sake. Now it is all cleared up. My father tele­ graphs me to come, wafts for me in Saint Louis. And you ask me to de­ lay, Mr. Crocker! To send messages! I can't do it. Not an hour beyond the first all-by-rail train east!" Mr. Crocker's heart warmed. The end of the long struggle had already wiped years from his face. Now the careworn man fled altogether, and left a joyous boy. "By George, Vincent! You shall go,--go day after to-morrow on the overland special. And joy go with you. But come back soon to us. We'll have a good job for you." "Thank you, Mr. Crocker/' Alfred said earnestly, wringing the offered hand, and hastening off to find Esther. She was coming down the steps of Gregory's car. "Read that!" He thrust the letter into her hand, and stood by her side while she looked it over. It was dated at Boston. "Dear Alfred: My Aunt Almlra is dead, and has left me three thousand She smiled at fats trspetuosity, as­ tonished at this unwonted vehemence. This was a new, a free Alfred. He was coming into his own, taking pos­ session; and of her with the rest All her being yielded gladly to his im- |)ortuning; yielded with that deep gratitude for strength and support that only a large, strong woman can feel, upon Whom many have leaned, and whom none have considered. "Yes, Alfred. At once, and any­ where with you!" She. walked in a dream up the car steps; he shot off blithely to execute his plans. They" carried successfully; and that night in Sally B.'s rude home, on the mountain-top and t&tder desert stars, 4he simple marriage was celebrated. Uncle Billy gave the bride away, and mourned because he had no wedding bonnet for his darling. If his old heart was heavy, and the sun had dropped out of his sky, he dissembled so gallantly that even Esther was de ceived. Mrs. Harmon rejoiced, though "two of her dear children had become one." Judge Harmon blustered ft little incoherently about the theft Of "his dear girl;" but deluded no one. $•' But Sally B., happy in Esther's hap­ piness, was yet bereft. Later she sobbed out her loneliness against her husband's breast. That was his mo­ ment of illumination. "Pore little crit­ ter! Ye've got Bill left, ye know. We'll prospect the rest of life on the same lead, won't we, honey? Git bright! It'll be sun-up soon, honey!" CHAPTER XXXV. The Wedding of the Ralls. A glorious, cloudless day I The tenth of May, 1869. Beside the majestic inland sea, gath­ ered there from near and from half the world away, men and women had come to celebrate the culmination of two tremendous enterprises. Against calumny, against plot and counterplot, against the power of money and bribery, against old Time himself, had the Central Pacific rail­ road come to completion. On pork, 3 wp p> Want You to Marry Mel To-Nlghtl To Start Horn dollars. With this I've been able to pay the last dollar; and my statement is to be forwarded to your father to­ night. He is traveling In the west; but his Saint Louis address is the same as formerly. I am now released from my promise of secrecy, and by the time you receive this your father will know how unjust he has been to you, how kind to the real criminal. At last I have vindicated you! But for you I should be in prison, or worse; my father dead of sorrow, my family disgraced. I shall waste no words in thanking you. God alone knows what you have been to me; 1 cannot tell it. "Ever your humble, grateful, "Max." "Mr. Alfred Vincent Osborn." "Now this!" Alfred thrust the tele­ gram into her hand before she could speak. It was sent from Saint Louis, and signed, "George Osborn." "Have just learned all from Max. If you can forgive your father, come at once. I will await you here." Esther looked up, but her eyes were too misty for seeing. "Poor Max! Poor A1--no, no! Noble Alfred!" He was too overwrought for atten­ tion, even for gentle.i«es. He caught both her hands, heedless of passing eyes. "I want you to marry me! To­ night! To start home--home with me on the first train after the Jubilee. No, don't speak yet!" he added quick­ ly as she opened her lips. "Let me tell you! I'll telegraph for the Epis­ copalian missionary atOgden--there'll be time. If he can't come, I'll wire Billy Dodge to pick up a minister somewhere on his trip to-day. We'll take the Harmons, Mrs. Gregory, if she'll go, and be at Sally B.'s in four hours. While I run down to Elko for the license,--Mr. Crocker'll let me have the engine, I know,--you can be packing. I'll follow Uncle Billy in and we'll be married! It won't he much of a wedding, but--do we care for dry-goods and ceremony?" He looked eagerly into her face. "Oh, Alfred, how--" she 'began tremulously. "Don't, dearest! Don't speak yet! Tf you'll only think just a minute I knpw it wtU be 'Yea'!" , beans, "licey," and pluck had It been builded, teaching the world its great­ est lesson in iron. Surmounting similar obstacles the Union Pacific had come westward to meet it. And here. In the heart of the continent, amidst cheers, speech­ es, and the screaming of whistles, the final blow was struck, the day made historic. Early in the morning magnificent trains came from each way bearing official* and dignitaries. Following them thronged the sightseers. Esther and Alfred were there, standing near the Central Pacific of­ ficers, both radiant, unmasked of re­ serve, young, beautiful with happiness. Close at hand were Uncle Billy, the Harmons, and Amabel Hamilton, deli­ cate, flower-like, bravely carrying a heartache that Alfred least of all sus­ pected. And Sally B.! No pen couTd paint the vividness of her cardinal plush gown, the sweep of the forty-dollar plume above her red Gainsborough hat, the gleam of her jewels, or the pride in the uplift of her dark head. Regal, brilliant, as glad of the great triumph as if it were her own, she drew every eye, dominated the scene, clamorously^red against the surround­ ing gray. Not the least striking among that re­ markable assemblage was George Gregory. Erect as he had not been for months, well groomed and hand­ some in his faultless clothes, jubilant, he wai. yet restless from the very lifting of his burden, and tacked from shore tc shore in the human sea, com­ ing to anchor at intervals beside his wife. But the eye of the vast throng, shift­ ing from notable to notable, came oftenest to rest upon the "Valiant Four," a quartette of keen, comple­ menting minds, the power that had driven to completion the most difficult enterprise of the era. Mark Hopkins, the treasurer, looked small beside the others; yet his body Was vigorous, his eye vigilant, his lip firm. A fine, penetrating exactness, a ligid carefulness, enveloped him as a garment. A stern man, a just, em­ ployees and fosterehildren yet testi­ fied to bis kindness, his consideration. Bluff, hearty Charles Crocker, the superintendent, irasciMe, obstinate, yet reasonable, was also Che daring, the generous, the pioneer! Next stood Collis P. Huntington, the vice president, tall, stately, elegant, the^&een financier, the astute business man, the shbtle politician, the keeper of secrets; a tireless worker, a courtly gentleman. Leland Stanford, the president, ex- governor of California, beloved by the people, this man was the cynosure; Imperial head powerfully set on a mas­ sive body; eyes of the seer, brows of the conqueror; mind of steel and heart of gold; brother of men and respecter of man; orato#, friend, patriot* Talleyrand once declared to the Em­ peror Napoleon, "The great republic is a giant without bones." These four men had put into the giant ft spine of Iron. Under the desert sky the spreading multitude.was called to order. There followed a solemn prayer, of thanks­ giving. The 4aurel tie w|p placed, amidst ringing cheers. The, golden spike was set. The trans-American* telegraph wire was adjusted. Amid breathless silence the silver hammer was' lifted, poised, dropped, giving the gentle tap that ticked the news to all the world! Then, blow on blow. Gov­ ernor Stanford sent the spike to place! A storm of wild huzzas burst forth; desert rock and sand, plain and moun­ tain, echoed the conquest of their terrors. The two engines moved up, "touched noses," and each in turn crossed the magic tie. America was belted!* The great Iron Way yas finished. THE END.

"All our ancestors," said a physician, "were pock-marked, end smallpox was a recommendation if you were looking for work. "What I mean Is that you couldn't get a job if you had not had smallpox. No one wanted a servant who was li able at any moment to be stricken down with the loathsome disease. Hence--" He opened a newspaper volume of 1774. "Hence 'help wanted' ada read like this: " 'Wanted, a man between 20 and 30 years of age, to be footman and under-butler in a great family. He must have had smallpox in the natural way. Also a woman, middle-aged, to wait upon a young lady of great for­ tune and fashion. The woman must have had the smallpox in the natural way.'" Japanese Hotels. Barring the bath, and perhaps the beds, Japanese hotels are delightful. All during your stay in their spot­ less precincts you are made to feel that you are an honored guest, Japan­ ese etiquette is lavished upon you, and when you depart you are always given a token to remember your visit, usually a white, coarse cotton towel with blue pictures printed on it You must thank the little maid for this with an elaborate bdw when you go, and the chorus of "Sayo Nara" from all the hotel force gathered in the doorway will seem to have in it. not only the regret of good-by, as we interpret the words, but the deeper feeling which they really mean: "If it must be that we must part"--Trav­ el Magazine. Must Charge to Get Crowd. The Ladles' guild of a certain New York church had planned an evening entertainment and reception, and askod the rector to make announce­ ment of it on the Sunday preceding. "This is all right," he said, "but you must charge admission." "Why this is just a social evening," they protested. "We are inviting peo­ ple." "They won't come," said the lector, "because they will think it is not worth while. But charge a small ad­ mission and you will have a good crowd." So the women gave in, and subsequent events proved the rector was right. Adams ... Alexander. Bond Boone .... Brown ... Bureau ... Calhoun .. Carroll ... C&sa Champai'n Christian .
