wnMr I tK I,
When John Stuart Webster, mining
engineer and klekor-up-of-dust on distant
trails, flagged the S. P., L. A. &
S. L. Limited at a blistered board station
in Death valley, California, lie
had definitely resolved to do certain
tilings. To hegin, he would Invade the
dining ear at the flrst call to dinner
and order approximately twenty dollars'
worth of haui and eggs, which
provender Is. as all who know will
certify, the pinnacle of epicurean delight
to an old sour-dough coming out
of the wilderness with a healthy bankroll
and a healthier appetite.
Following the ham and eggs, Mr.
Webster planned to saturate himself
from soul to vermiform appendix with
nicotine, which he purposed obtaining
from tobacco with nicotine in it. it
was a week since he had smoked anything
with an odor even remotely like
tohacco, for the August temperature In
Death valley is no respecter of moisture
in any man or his tobacco. Upon
arrival in Salt Luke City his spree
would really begin. Webster designed
chartering a taxlcab ami proceeding
forthwith to a hotel where lie would
engage a sunny room with a bath, till
the bathtub, climb blithely in and souk
for two hours at least, for it was nearly
eight months since lie hud had n
regular hath and lie purposed making
the most of his opportunity. His longdrawn
ablutions at length over, lie
would don a silken dressing gown and
slippers, order up a barber and proceed
to part with enough hair and
whiskers to upholster an automobile,
and upon the completion of bis tonBorinl
adventures lie would encase bis
person in a suit of mauve-colored silk
pajamas, climb into bed and stay
there for forty eight hours, merely waking
long enough to take another bath,
order up periodical consignments of
ham and eggs, and incidentally, make
certain that a friendly side-winder or
chuekwalla hadn't crawled under the
blanket with 1.1m.
nu iiiiicu mr .iniin isniari wenster's
plans. Now for the gentleman himself.
No one?not even the Pullman porter,
shrewd Judge of mankind thai lie was
?could hove discerned in the chrysalis
that flagged the Limited the huilertly
of fashion that was to he. As the
ebony Deorge raised the vestibule platform,
opened the car door and looked
out, he had no confidence In the lean,
sun-baked big man standing by the
train. Plainly the fellow was not a
first-class passenger but a wandering
prospector, for lie was dog-dirty, a ruin
of rugs and hairy as a tarantula. The
only clean thing about liiin was a
beavy-calihcred automatic pistol of the
army type, swinging at his hip.
"Day coach an' tourist up in front,"
the knight of the wliiskbroom announced
in disapproving tones and
started to close down the platform.
"So I perceived," John Stuart Webster
replied blandly. "1 also observed
that you fulled to employ the title
'sir' when addressing a white man.
Put that platform hack and hop out
here with your little stool, you saddlecolored
son of Senegamhia, or I'll
make you a hard ported to catch."
"Y DGdtlh VtltJuiili 1** !???
- J ?> wintered.
and obeyed Instantly. Mr. Webster
banded him a disreputable-looking
suitcase and stepped aboard in state,
only to he Informed tl.at there wasn't
a vacant first-class berth on the train.
"Yes, 1 know I'm dirty," the late arrlvul
announced cheerfully, "but still,
as Bohhy Burns once remarked, 'u
man's n man for a' that*?and I'm not
unsanitary."
"I'm very sorry," the conductor replied
perfunctorily and endeavored to
pass on, but Webster secured 'a firm
grip on his lapel and frustrated the escape.
"You're not sorry," the ragged wanderer
declared, "not one little bit.
You're only apprehensive. Huwcvr.
you needn't be. There is no wild life
011 me, brother, I assure you."
"But I tell you, the train Is full up.
You'll have to roost In the day coach
or the tourist. I'm very sorry "
"Nevertheless, despite your deep grief.
Something tells ine you're spooling, so
while I must, of necessity, accept yottr
suggestion. said acceptance will he hut
temporary. In ahout two hours, young
fellow, you're going to make the alarming
discovery that yon have bats In
your belfry." And with a whiskery grjn
which, under the circumstances, was
charming in Its absolute freedom from
malice, Mr. Webster departed for the
day coach.
Two hours later the conductor found
him in the aforementioned day coach
engaged in a mild game of poker with
a mulo-sklnner. n Chinaman an aged
prospector, and n half-lire. <1 Indian
and waited until Mr. Web tcr, on a
bnl.-taih-d Hush, bluffed the t'hinuuuin
Ot" of a dollar-aud a liall p<>;
Are yon Mr. John S. \\'i '< r?"
"Your 'assumption ihnt ' *n that

Mr. Webster," he admitted.
"Oecaslonnlly I lose, old tinier
Well?"
"No offense, Mr. Webster, no offense
I cnn let you have f< stateroom "
"That's trading talk. I'll take It."
The conductor gave him his recelpl
, and led liiin back to the stateroom Ir
i the observation car. At the door Web
ster handed him a five-dollar bill. "Foi
you. son," he said gently, "Just to takt
the sting out of what I'm about to tell
you. Now that I possess your receipt
and know that ten men and a boy can
not take it away from me, 1'tn going tc
tell you who Sweeney Is."
"Who Is he?" the conductor queried
Already he suspected he had been out
generated.
"Sweeney," said Mr. Webster, "Is tin
chief clerk In one of Chicago's tnosi
pretentious hotels and a young mm
who can find all the tungles of a sit
nation without working It out In loga
rithms. I wired him the details of m>
predicament; he heard the Macedonia!
cry and kicked In. Neat, is it not?"
The conductor grinned. "I hate t<
take your money," he declared.
"Don't. Just at present I'm vet->
flush. Yes, sir, I'm as prosperous as :i
yearling burro up to his ears in alfalfa
and the only use I have ever found foi
mom\v is to make other people happy
with it, thereby petting some enjoy
mot it out of it myself. When I'm broke
I'll make some more."
Ami Mr. Webster retired to his hanl
won sanctuary, where he removed as
much alkali and perspiration as h?
could, carded his long hair and whisk'
ers, manicured Ills finger nails with a
jaek-knife, changed ids shirt, provided
five minutes of industry for CSeorpe,
with I".is whlskhroom and brush, and
set himself patiently to await ti e tirst
call to dinner.
Presently u pitik-Jowleil, well
curried, flashily dressed lug man, ol
about Webster's age, passed in the cor
rid >r. going toward the head of tin
train. An instant later a woman'*
voice said very distinctly!
"I do not know you. sir; 1 do not
wish to know you, and It is loathsonn
of you to persist in addressing me. II
you do not stop your annoying atton
tioiis. I shall call the conductor."
"Ah! It. nitty In distress," John
Stuart Wchster soliloquized. "I look
so much like tin Angora goat I might
as well hutt In." lie stepped to lh?
door of his stateroom. A girl stood in
the vestibule, confronting the man wlw
had just passed Webster's door. Web
ster bowed.
"Madame, or mademoiselle, as tie
case may he," lie said, "unlike thi.*
other male biped, my sole purpose la
presuming to address you is to suggest
that there is not the slightest necessity
for taking this matter up with the conductor.
1 ain here and very much at
your service."
The girl turned?and John Stuart
Webster's heart Hopped twice in rapid
succession, like a trout newly grassed.
She was as lovely as a royal Hush
Her starry glance began at his minor *
boots, traveled np his old soiled, whip
cord trousers, over his light blue chain
bray shirt and found the man behind
the whiskers. She favored hill) with n
quick, curious scrutiny and a grave,
sweet smile. "Thank you so much, sir."
she answered, and passed down the
corridor to the observation car.
"Weil, old-timer," Webster greeted
the fellow who had been annoying her,
"how about you? What do you think
we ought to do about this little affair?"
"The sensible thing would be to do
?nothing. You might start something
you couldn't finish."
"That's a dare." Webster declared
brightly, "and wasn't it the bnmnrtn!
Huckleberry Finn who remarked that
anybody thnt'd take a dare would suek
eggs and steal sheep?" lie was silent
a few seconds, appraising Ids man. "1
suppose you commenced operations by
moving into her section and asking If
j she would like to have the window
I open and enjoy the fivsl air She reI
bllfTed you. but being a persistent
devil, you followed her into the observation
car. and in all probability
you ogled her at lunch ?n and ruined
her appetl.e And jasi now when you
met 'if * ill ilii< vi i!ei1,? \(?ii doubtless
Jostled Iiim ! her pardon
nnd without nlrodueed
. n ner to have dinner with you
ev citing."
"WellV" the fellow echoed belligerently.
"It's all bad form. You shouldn't
try to make a in:i>h on a lady. I don't
| know who she is. of course, but she's
not common and for the sake of the
mother that bore me I always respect
and protect a good woman and whnk
It out of those that do not."
| He reached Inside Ids stateroom urn'
pressed the bell. The porter arrived or,
the ran.
"tleorge," said Mr. Webster, "In ?
few minutes we're due at Smlthville
If my memory serves me aright, w?
! stop live minutes for water und or
' ders."
"Yusssih."
"Remain right Imro and let me off at
soon as the train comes to a stop."
When the train slid to n grinding
halt and the porter opened the eai
door, Webster pointed. "Out!" he said
"This Is no nice place to pull off t
sera p."
; "Hee here, neighbor, I don't want t?
have any trouble with you "
"I know It. All the same, you're go
Ing to have It?or come with me t<
that young lady and beg her pardon.'
"All right. I'll apologize," and h<
started forward as If to pass Webstei
In the vestibule, on his way to the ob
nervation car, whither the subject o
tancc of his enemy. and before Web-*
ster could dodge, u sizzling righthanded
blow landed on bis Jaw and set
hltn bar'; on Ids haunches In the vestibule.
It was almost *a knockout?almost,
but not quite. As Webster's body
struck the floor the big automatic
come out of the bolster; swinging In
a weak circle, it covered the other.
"Tlvat was a daisy," Webster mumbled.
"If you move before my head
clears, I'll put four bullets Into you before
you reach the corridor."
lie waited about a minute, then with
I the gun be pointed to the car door and
the masher stepped out. Webster tmiwi.
<*d the porter his gun mid followed;
two minutes Inter he returned, dragging
his assailant by the collar Up
the steps he Jerked the big battered
hulk and tossed it in the corner of the
vestibule, just as the girl came through
the car, making for the (Finer tip ahead.
Again she favored him with that
culm, grave, yet vitally interested gaze,
nodded appreciatively, made as If to
puss on, changed her mind, and said

John Si.iart Webster passed a restless
nipht. Sleep came to him in hour*

rouse to ask himself whether it was
worth while to continue to go throtiph
I the motions of living, or alipht at the
next station, seel; a lonely and unfrequented

outrageous fortune. It was altogether

opportunity for getting acquainted! If
only their meeting had hut been delayed

Once free of his ugly cocoon of rags
and whiskers, the butterfly Webster
would not have hesitated one brief instant
to inform himself of that young
lady's address, following his summary
disposal of her tormentor.
Hut in all things there is a limit,
and John Stuart Webster's right ey?

wallet until he discovered a fairly
dean professional card, across the bottom
of which he wrote, "Thank you.

"In Car Seven," he began, "there Is
a young lady. I do not know what section
she occupies neither do I know
her name and destination. I only
know what she looks like."
The conductor nodded. "And you
want to ascertain her name and destination?"
"I do."
"All right. I have the unused portion
of her transportation to return
to her before we hit Salt Lake; her

A few hours later the conductor
nine to Webster's stateroom and
handed him a card upon which was
written:

John Stuart Webster studied the
name after the conductor withdrew.
"That's a Spanish name," he soliloquized,
"hut for all that, she's not a
