"L'ncle Billy" Dodge, stage driver, Alfred Vincent, a young man, and Phineas Cadwallader, introduced. They come across the remains of a massacre. Later at Anthony's station they find the redskins have carried their destructive work there also. Stella Anthony, daugh- ,*er 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. He returns to Stella, each show­ ing signs of love for the other. Stella hears Irorn her lover, Gideon, and of his phe­ nomenal success. Finds letter of im­ portance involving plans of opposition road. Plot to destroy company's ship Flora is unearthed and incriminating evi­ dence against Cadwallader found. Phineas Cadwallader faces prison on charge of wire tapping. A perfect chain of evidence connects him with plot to blow up "Flora." Banquet in railroad town is scene of monopolisation of Alfred by a Miss Hamilton, with determination on Stella's part to change her tempera­ ment. Alfred writes passionately to Stella, decrying the attention which he •was compelled to give Miss Hamilton. Mrs. "Sally" Bernard announces riches. Gideon makes threat against Alfred's life. Quickly leaves town on best procurable horse in search of Vincent. Race to beat opposition company's stage a success. Stella fails to hear of Gideon. Stella re­ ceives a letter: "Promise to marry Gideon Ingram or Alfred Vincent will die." After conference Stella decides to llee. Years pass. Stella becomes known as Esther Anthony, becomes a rich woman, educates herself at Vassar and steps into highest San Francisco society. Kidnap­ ing changes Alfred greatly and when he and Stella meet in 'Frisco society, she passes him without recognition. Stella's love for Alfred and his for her is revived. However, neither shows recognition of the fact to th<j other. Stella visits Mrs. Sally Bernard, now In top notch society tind wealthy, being known as Mrs. I^ang- Bernard.

Alvin Carter, Viola's lover when the Bernards were poor, visits them and Sally B. consents to their marriage, despite the fact that several sons of rich Sires are asking the girl's hand. {• CHAPTER XXVIII. The Battle on the Desert. Out in the sage-covered wilds a horde of pigmies charged the ice­ bound earth with pick and powder. Fighting desperately against endless malignant obstacles, George Gregory forged on toward Salt Lake, the goal of his dreams. Side by side, mile after mile, the •rival companies ran their grades, the Central Pacific working steadily east, the Union Pacific rushing west from their main front, and pushing east -with the grade they had1- begun at Humboldt Wells. They hoped to out­ run their rivals and meet their own iron far west of Salt Lake. Thus the days sped. Gregory's life became a protane prayer for iron. For ten days his men worked but four hours a day. The rest of the time they slept, visited or tramped, A few quarreled, some gambled on the sly. Yet these men averaged well, and it was not for them Gregory held his sleepless vigilance, but for the .trde of riff-raff setting westward from the on­ coming Union Pacific, from the remote mines and camps, and taking toll of mischief as it passed. One night, worn with fruitless court­ ship of sleep, Gregory rose and went out into the desert cold, striding noiselessly down the sleeping tented town. He turned the other way, passed the boarding train, the com­ missary, the shops, and on by the Chinese camps. Returning, a slight noise caught his ear as he neared the wheeled bakery. He stopped, listened, and sent his lantern ray against the door. It was ajar. Presently a man came out with a loaf of bread and climbed down the steps into Gregory's light. He was a recent comer, thick, sturdy, with beetling brows and fierce, resentful eyes. "What are you doing here?" thun­ dered Gregory. , "I walked too far to get back for supper, and went for some bread," the man answered readily enough. "How'd you open tie door? Wasn't it locked?" "Yes, sir; but I got the key. I--" He got no farther. Gregory dropped his lantern and flew at him. Hot an­ ger and the power of authority rein­ forced Gregory's more than usual strength. He rained blows and invec­ tive on the offender; fisted him and booted him; kicked him under the wagon finally, with a last irate charge. "Lie there, you dog! till daylight, if you want to; but be out of this camp before I see you again, you son of iniquity! Ulast your eyes! I'll see if stealing can't be stopped here!" Gregory hurried away, but not fast enough to escape the man's defiant re­ joinder: "Taking a loaf of bread in place of supper's no stealing. I'll be even with you for this, you damned slave-driver!" The voice was weak, but Gregory felt the venom, and its threat. "There's a man under the bakery that I've ordered out of camp," he said to the watchman, as the two met. "See that he goes; but give him this--on the quiet, you understand." The watch­ man took the five dollars. "He's only worked two days; there won't be much coming to him, poor devil," the superintendent said compassionately. It was this side of Gregory's varied character that won for him the alle­ giance and service of the men he drove hard, though less hard than he drove himself. Gov. Stanford established headquar­ ters at Salt Lake City, and Superin­ tendent Crocker flitted up and down the line to the Front whenever the Sacramento office did not claim him. The movements of the directors seemed fatally slow to Gregory, the man of steel, who must ask no ques­ tions but execute their «jfHce-made plans. He chafed more than ever over *ielay In forwarding materials, for he "What?" the superintendent cried in dismay. "Pack iron across the Isth­ mus? Preposterous! The directors would never consent. Hopkins--he'd go crazy! We--" "Good heavens, Mr. Crocker! Don't let him--let them hold us up now!" "But, Gregory, we're planting money under every foot of track, finished and unfinished. Think of the things that need to be done, rebuilt, mended. And last week we killed 20 Chinamen. We'll have--" "Dead Chinamen needn't bother ns; it's live ones we want." "Yes, but the dead ones make it hard for us to get more live ones. And they fear the cold, too. They say, 'Too muchee snow! Too muchee kill!' And you're always howling for more Chinese, you know." "Yes, sir. Never have enough. Can't you do that slick trick again. Mr. Crocker? Catch another shipload on the fly and yank them over here be­ fore they have time to find out wheth­ er it's hell-hot or heaven-cold here? And white men, too. Great guns! Men! Men! Anything that can drive a spike!" "But what do you want of men if your iron's nearly out?" "You'll get me iron across the Isth­ mus" Mr. Crocker exclaimed, and went for­ ward. There she stood, smiling, alert, her mourning discarded, her traveling suit the smartest, her strong personality raying out hypnotically to all within reach. The moment the train halted she tripped down the steep steps, and went quickly toward the two men, calling out voluble greetings on the way. First Mr. Crocker, then Mr. Gregory, she embraced with impartial cordiality, and kissed each audibly on the cheek "It's the same old Sally B. Time can't touch her, youth can never for­ get her," Mr Crocker said gallantly. "Thank ye, Mr Crocker; but it's me that's got to do the blarneying. I've come begging," she said bluntly, yet with her old, confident smile. "Whatever I can do for you--" Mr. Crocker began heartily, when Gregory interrupted. "I'll leave you to your business now, Sally B.--excuse me, Mr. Crocker-- but as soon as you've finished, you go right forward to our car--first on the other side of the construction engine there. The madame'll hail' you as an angel in the desert. We--" "But I'm goln' right back to-day." "No, you won't! You'll stay all rlight with us and cheer up the madame. Plenty of room." He lifted his hat with a grace that revealed somewhat of the secret of his ability to meet all situations. That night Sally B. told her story to the sympathetic Gregorys. The human units that swung Gregory's hammers and cowered under his fierce energy little dreamed of his gentler side, of the man who cherished and comforted a delicate, sensitive wife still mourn­ ing the death of their only child. "Yes, Bill's broke all to pieces; won't never be no 'count agin, the doc­ tor says. That last buck of hls'n against the stock board tuck his pile, an' liim, too, mighty nigh.'" Sally B.'s acquired culture dropped from her like a loosely pinned mantle. The desert, 'Lie There, You Dog! Till Daylight" "We can't. It'll cost--" "Jove and all the little gods! What does money, piles of it at any interest, if you haven't got it on hand, count for against more than 150 miles of road for all time?" "A hundred and fifty miles? What do you mean?" "It's that far from here to Ogden. The U. P. people get every mile they can clap iron on first. Yet their iron's away east of Ogden; and I can beat 'em there, if you'll get me the iron! Think what the business of Salt Lake valley will amount to in 10, 30, 50 years! You've simply got to have that piece of road!" "You can't do it, Gregory!" "By the eternal, I can! I've set my pins for it ever since that blamed spy hornswoggled me last summer. The minute the engineers cut out the Pali­ sade tunnel I knew I was O. K. Now, don't play Pharaoh on me, Mr. Crock­ er! I can't build your road without iron. Get it for me, if you have to steal a foundry and pre-empt the Isth­ mus of Panama!" "It can't be done in time." "It can, sir! Telegraph the governor at Salt Lake. He'll telegraph the order, rush the foundries, a dozen of 'em. By jiminy! You can put the iron afloat in a week, have it here in 40 days!" Mr Crocker caught flre. "By George, Gregory! I believe we might do It. I'll have a talk over the wire with the governor." He was about to turn away, but stopped to give Gregory a paper. "There's Tuesday's Clarion. In­ teresting reading there. They're beg­ ging the Union Pacific to fly by us. come into California by Beckworth pass and snatch our trade." "Let the Clarion blow. We're giving the U. P. about all the knitting work they can 'tend to. we and those dried- beef-colored Sioux." "Hold on, Gregory! We'll be charged with muTder, yet." laughed the other. "There's the train!" he added, as a whistle pierced the still air. The men walked along the newly- laid traqlj, Past the ^construction train the bustle, the railroad, even rudeness and crudity, appealed to her elemental nature. Every fiber of her being re- ponded to the life about her. She bounded to its call as the long tethered cavalry horse to "boots and saddles!" "And all your money gone? How can you take care of him? It's too bad! Too bad!" condoled Mrs. Greg ory. "Too bad nothing! I'm glad--about the money, I mean. This is the first good clean breath I've had in three year. If Bill was O. K. I could veil with joy for glttin' away from money, an' style, an' big bugs. Vl's fixed. Yes, goln' to marry A1 Carter next week. His house's all ready--bang up, it is, too. He's on top; good's salt-risin' bread, an' straight as an Injun now!" It would have pleased Alvin's mother to have seen the prond flash in Sally U.'s eye. "And I'm com- in' out here to; work for--for Bill."' Her voice trembled. "What did the Boss give you?" Gregory asked a little later. "Toano eatia' house." "Good enough! There's a chump there now that don't know beefsteak from a mule's hoof. I'm glad he's got to go. It's a good stand. You can hook trade from the U. P. outfit there, too." "Yon bet I will! I'm just dead gone on Charley Crocker. He's been that good to me! I'm going to live now, you bet! I'm goln' to keep the dog- gondest best eatin' house this side the Bay. An' I'm goin' to carry Bill on a feather piller's long's he lives. Pore Bill! Lordy! But I'm tired!" She finished breathlessly, and collapsed in tears--tears that frightened George Gregory, who had not supposed that Sally B. possessed them. CHAPTER XXIX. The Message of the Dancing Girl to Esther. To Esther, restless, unoccupied, came Sally B.'s urgent invitation to visit her at Toano. Esther accepted it at once, deciding not to wait for the Harmons. Business had delayed the judge, and now fear of small-pox for his wife. A pitted face testified his own immunity. But Esther had no fear of the disease; Toano was free from the scourge; and the breath of the wide, free desert breezing from Sally B.'s letter roi^sed t!he wings of Esther's Bpirit. She timed her going to catch Uncle Billy's train out from Winnemucca. Through all the years she had written him at intervals, sending her letters at first through Sally B. She wished to surprise him. He was therefore quite unprepared for the tall, elegaht young woman who waited im­ patiently at the rear end of the car to greet him. She saw him glance to­ ward her as soon as he entered, and her heart leaped. But he came calmly on, from, passenger to passenger, stop­ ping here and there for question or direction. He looked her way inqulr ingly once or twice, but blankly. When he was yet a few seats away, recognition came. He sprang to her, his face transfigured. Thought ol stranger eyes, of official dignity, fled. He caught her hands "in his own. "Honey! Stella!" he cried softly as he kissed her on the cheek, the years hunger for her shining in his misty eyes. "Where undeh the canopy did you come from, honey?" She smiled her joy, but said nc word. He still held her hands, her rings cutting under the pressure neither marked till later, his eyes searching her glowing face. Her jpask had dropped; her soul was open to him. He made her as comfortable as pos sible in the rough car that did duty af sleeper, coach, parlor and emigrant car all in one. When the meager busi ness after leaving each infrequent sta tion was dispatched he came to hei again; and the long day was not hall time enough for the tale of Esther's eventful life, every detail questioned and appreciated by her rapt listener. Esther opened her eyes the nexl morning upon a strange life, new, yet old. The Wizard Desert- wrapped hei again with the mantle of his enchant ment. As of old, the hills walked out of their,spaces to meet her. She wai back in her own world, back to Sallj B.'s loving arms, to Uncle Billy's ten der solicitude. "Are you happy, Mrs. Sally?" Esthei asked, following her from one to an other of the rough rooms, as the mis tress deftly touched each chaotic spoi to order. "Lord love ye, child! I didn't kno* how powerful pestered I was there In Oakland an' the city till I got back here where I b'long. There's folks oJ course that's made for totin' society's pack; some of 'em's soft, squashy crlt ters. an' some of 'em's plumb good like Freddy Bryan; but the plains, an' work, an' men with blood in 'em, an freedom--that's what I was' born to; an' it's what I'm fit fur." She was tearing an unspeakable bed to pieces with merciless scrutiny. "Gosh! The way a man runs a hotel without no woman is 'nough to make a skunk siek! Esther marveled at Sally B.'s rever­ sion. Nothing of her violent effort at culture remained; and her old speech and manner seemed doubly vigorous for the long rest. "If only Bill was--was right peart agin--" Sally B. began, but stopped abruptly and shook a pillow danger­ ously near to its undoing. "Did you hear about BlowhardCad?" she asked a little later. "I overheard his name in the car yesterday, but learned nothing defl-. nlte." "He's arrested for stealing from the company." (TO BE CONTINUED.) WHERE WOMEN RULE NO ECUALITY OF THE 8EXES AMONG THE HOPI. There the Female Is the Absolute Head of the Household and the Male Little More Than a Slave. If the suffragettes of England and the equal rights advocates of America could organize their sex as success­ fully as did the leaders of the Hopi women they could accomplish their ends in short order. Once upon a time (and this is not a fairy tale either), the Hopi squaws grew tired of the tyranny of the lazy lords of the mesas and went out on strike, removing to a distant mesa so difficult of access that they could easily defend it against forcible invasion. F<* a time the men refused to worry, believing that the J women would soon tire of their Adam- I less Eden; but as days grew into ; weeks with no sign of surrender from the women the men began to negotiate i for a restoration of domestic union, i To all overtures of this kind the wom­ en returned but one answer. They j were ready to return to their homes i whenever the men were ready to con- ! cede to them the mastery of the house­ hold. It was a bitter pill, without > sugar coating, but the men ,were com- j pelled to swallow it. | This earliest and most successful | of all women's rights movements oc- j curred so long ago that tradition gives no hint of the epoch, and the name of the female Napoleon who carried through this remarkable campaign has been lost in the mists of ages. Never­ theless the work of the Hopi suffra gettes still lives. In the strange stone cities, perched high on the summits of the Arizona mesas, the women still rule the roost and the men play a sor­ ry .second fiddle. Among all other tribes of American aborigines the squaws are drudges and beasts of burden, trained to fetch and carry and cater to the caprices of the dirty bf&ves with abject humility. In Hopl- land the positions of the sexes are ex­ actly reversed. There the men perform the most menial of household tasks, till the fields, attend to the sheep, goats atid burros, weave blankets, belts and cere­ monial robes, mind the babies, and in general do as their wives bid them. The fine art work of the Hopis--bas­ ket making and pottery manufacture --are reserved for the women, appar­ ently in the belief that man's inferior­ ity renders him unfit for the serious business of life. It is worthy of note that the blankets woven by the Hopi men are so inferior to those woven by the Navajo women that there is no room for comparison, while the pot­ tery made by the Hopi women is the finest of its kind in the world, and their baskets have no superiors. Even the most dearly c' rished prerogative of masculinity in other parts of the world--that of selecting a life part­ ner--has been usurped by the women of the Hopis. Whenever a girl makes her choice of a husband she goes to consult the youth's mother. If the mother is willing to accept the candi­ date for a daughter-in-law the business is settled on the spot, and the man in the case must make the best of it. To consult either him or his father or the FOR SICK a JLYDIA £. PINKHAM No other medicine has been ao successful in relieving the suffering of women or received so many gen­ uine testimonials as has.

Inevitably this relegation of the mas­ culine sex to a secondary position has been productive of curious and in structive social results. Not least , striking of these is the poor figure the Hopi tribesmen always have cut in warfare. In the perennial wars waged against them by the Navajos the Hopis always were worsted. But ; for the inaccessibility of the location | of their towns, upon the summits of lofty mesas, the Navajos would have exterminated them. In contempt the warlike nomads called them "Moki," signifying "dead men," while their proper appellation, "Hopi," signifies "men of peace." l" Lynn,Mass., any woman any day ma see the tiles containing over one mil­ lion one hundred thousand letters from women seeking health, and here are the letters m which they openly state over their own signa­ tures that they were cured by Lydia E.

A woman who looked as if she had a commuter's ticket in her handbag kept a long line of customers waiting in a New York bank one morning re­ cently. She was writing something and was in no hurry. She was not' one of the fashionable "no hips" crea­ tures, but wai of such generous pro­ portions that she could not be cir­ cumnavigated. There was nothing to do but wait and wonder what her busi­ ness was. The cashier himself was in doubt, but waited politely to see. "There, young man," she announced triumphantly to the cashier after pat­ ting her pencil in her mouth for the fiftieth time, "there is a prescription that has been in our family for 50 years. It will knock tuat cold of yours endwise. Hustle right out snd get it filled and be sure and soak your feet in hot mus-Krd wator to-night. Don't let your cold run on."

One of our contemporaries' referred yesterday to "little Paraguay." That republic is four-fifths as large as Ger­ many. Many persons have erroneous no­ tions as to geographical sizes and lengths in South America. They have not the slightest idea that Brazil is nearly as large as the whole of Eu­ rope, that the distance between the north and south ends of Chile is as great as that between the North Cape of Europe and Gibraltar, and that steamers ply almost straight north and south on the Parana and its Paraguay affluent for a distance about equal to that between New York and Omaha.-- New York Sun. > For Five Months He Has 8een Study­ ing the Pacific Whale in the Interests of New York Museum. The last few years have been fruit­ ful in the number of exploits by scien­ tists, afloat and afield, at personal risk. The latest of these men who have used the Arctic regions for infor­ mation is Roy C. Andrews, who has Just returned from a five months' trip into the northern Pacific, where in the interest of the New York Museum of Natural History he has been in quest of added knowledge about the Pacific whale, now fast becomlng*extlnct. "I left New York on April 20 last," said Mr. Andrews, "and arrived at the Island of Vancouver, B. C., about two weeks afterward. Vancouver is sev­ eral miles ofT from the coast. Here are located two of the three whaling stations in the Pacific ocean. "As a rule in these days it is only in the waters in the vicinity of the arctic regions that whales are found in any great number. Ages ago they were common in the southern seas. But with the growth of commerce they were killed or gradually driven northward. At the present time whale fishing as a regular business of any site is carried on only off the Nor­ wegian coast, the coast of Newfound­ land and in the northern Pacific. "Whale killing is almost a fine art now. The ships are fitted with a can­ non known as the harpoon gun, which sends the shaft with such terrific force as to impale the creature and always kill it. Then it is towed to the station. "I was with the ship on one of these hunts and secured some splendid pho­ tographs. Because of the speedy move­ ment of the whales I had to be quick with the camera. So none of the ex­ posures took longer than one-fiftieth of a second, some even less. "On one occasion we were in col­ lision with a huge finback, a 60-footer, weighing about as many tons. "When first seen he was just in front of the bow. The captain signaled the engineer to stop, but the signal was misinterpreted and we plowed "ahead, hitting the leviathan midships and rid­ ing up on his back and sinking him some, of course. When we looked around the head of the whale was seen on one side of the ship, his tail on the other, with his body under our keel. While the captain rushed to the har­ poon gun I took a picture which plain­ ly shows the whale's eyeB. "The worst of my experience was with a fog. With two men I was com­ ing 100 miles down the coast from Juneau, Alaska, in a 16-foot boat. Sud­ denly we found ourselves enveloped in a fog, so dense that we couldn't see 20 feet ahead. We drifted for 48 hours with no food and with very little water. "Added to this an Icy north wind be­ gan to blow. We did not freeze to death because we managed to keep one another awake. We did not know but what we had drifted to sea. so when the fog did rise you may imagine our Joy at seeing land only a mile away. "I am more than gratified over the results of my labors. All the data at hand will be used this winter to de termine the exact relation between the Atlantic and Pacific whale. 1 expect to publish a scientific monograph on the subject. "Dr. Bumpus, director of the mu­ seum, was anxious for the investiga­ tion to be made at this time. We be­ lieve that the time is not far distant when the whale, as a species, will be practically extinct, taking their place with the mastodon. Like the American buffalo, they are fast disappearing be­ fore the demands of commerce. Oc­ casionally a spermaceti whale is caught. It is from this whale that the valuable spermaceti oil and ambergriB is taken. The oil sells at about $100 a pound, the ambergris at $60 a pound." CONSIDERATION The Workman--Hey, what's that?
