He’s scared nearly out of his skin, but he might be willing to go. Come with me and we will see.” In the headquarters of the organ- ization Raymond and Munro found Carter and his stafl loudly discussing measures and answering and sending messages. Dolan, the friendly report- er, was there, and also the representa- ing of this? Have the muepeuueuu come in?” Munro said quietly: “Boys, I want to be alone with the preeldent.

Carter turned white with fear. ; “I can’t do it. They’d kill me. They hold me responsible for everything that’s been done here. The governor has wired me to meet him, but I dare , not do it. It’s suicide to do i ” , “Then I will go alone," said Ray- i mond, in vast disgust. “Give me n ? letter saying you would like to meet and confer with the sheriff to prevent ‘ bloodshed. and I will present it." A~â€"-_‘ . ”mil-V“ â€"_ _ n, Carter was mania-with excitement over the ‘responubmty thrust upon him. "I don‘t know whtt to :11." “I’ll tell you vhat to any," put in _ lk A_‘_â€"‘ Munro. “Tell him we are fully organs iaed and heavily armed. but that we desire to avoid bloodshed and to that end invite him and the president or the Red Star company to meet with us and Raymond in the presence of the governor of the state, in the hope of arriving at a compromise." Raymond was pleased. “That’s the first note or sense I have heard uttered in this whole row." When the letter was delivered to him Munro said: “Now, Carter, keep mum about this. If it works out. you can have all the credit for it; if it fails, I’ll take the kicking.” The crowd in the outer room were consumed with curiosity as the two young men came out, but Munro said: “Get the recruits all together. I’ll be back in half an hour and put them through the paces.” Mounting their horses, they set on down the trail in the thick falling snow, guided only by the dim lights in the valley. - . n-‘ "It’s a tough night to be out, Rob, but you’re less likely to be interfered with on that account. If you meet any of my pickets the countersiin is ‘con- tactâ€"porphyry-and slate.’ ” CHAPTER XXI. AYMOND’S descent of the can- yon was singularly uneventful. He met neither the invading army nor the patrol. Happily the storm lessened as he descended, and by dawn he was once more trot- ting with the calm, close adhering seat of the cowboy. He had planned to go to a friend’s house in the lower town, but with the coming of light and the blooming or the rose of the morning he resolved to ride directly to Barnett’s. “My errand is an honorable one," he argued. “Why should I sneak into cover?” The honsemaid who let him into the house smiled upon him in a most friendly fashion. “We’re glad to see you, 3!}. Shall I tell Mr. Barnett you arehere?’ flwuhmwmIQudtenmg aide, reading the morning papers. . “Hello, old man,” he called out when the door was shut. “I’m mighfi‘glad to see you, but 176mm; kpow what to mireâ€"eihd some toast on 3 stand by his course. you haven’t had breakfast Have some coflee.

' We were classmates and roommates at West Point. Do you remember read- : ing some eight or nine years ago of a group of six cadets being dismissed for hazing and insubordlnation? I don’t : suppose you do, but I was one of that gang. Jack was another. We weren’t : so bad as we were represented, but they fired us all the same.

"Oh, mine is straight. I never tried to conceal my identity. I’m Robert Huston Raymond of Ohio, the man that ‘swatted’ his superior and got ‘busted' for it. Since then I’ve lived a oom- monplace lite." “ ‘ ‘- ' â€"â€"-â€"-â€" 4-5 uvvv u.- â€"w.â€". “That’s about all of it. I was a rest- less young cub and hated discipline. but that’s of no value.

You have inflamed the camp till I may be obliged to shut down at any moment. You have been mea- sonable in treating with your men. It isn't so much a question of wages; it’s a question of courtesy and decent re- gard for your fellows. Mackay was no man to make an issue of. He was, in fact, a conceited ass, and you know it. Now, Barnett, you must ‘back water’ here. The camp is in a bad temper, and you can’t cure violence with vio- lence.” “Well, I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” said Barnett on sudden impulse; moved by Raymond’s sincerity, “I’ll call a meet- ing here of the sherifl', the mayor and one or two others, and we’ll talk this over.” ' ' ' “All right, 'only you presence here a secret careful not to put me 5‘ n “I’ll take care of you.” As he rose he added: “You lie down for awhile and rest while I collectlmy men.” Raymond followed slowly and rolled into his delicious bed with a sigh of deep pleasure.

If they had taken prompt action with us in this whole matter trouble would have been averted.” The mayor resumed his questions. “Who sent you? Whom do you repre sent?” “Munro sent me.” “Who is Munro?” “He is the adviser of the president of the union.” “He’s the ‘whole thing.’ isn’t he?” asked the mayor. . “That I cannot answer.
