wNow
see here, my friend," said John
Proctor, his honest eyes looking gravely into tbe tramp's face as he balanced a dime on the tip of his finger, *'I na not aroint to read you a homily on the subject of labor, but 1 want to present for vour consideration a little matter of statistics. You know, as well as I, that *be territory is swarming with men.of •our class. No less than six, begging ttor money, have stopped me on the streets to-day while down tbere at the vard"—indicating with his hand a row of tall lumber piles surrounding a small toailding in the distatico—"we haven' three applications for work in smooth." "Try me." S: "Do you imagine you would work if vou bad tbe chance? 1 have bad a,little experience with fellows of your sort. You have such remarkable appetites J" tie addressed him genericallv, as tbe ^representative of a race. "You work fcsif an hour then come around with tbe §tos that you can't labor on an empt «tomach, draw an advance of half ado tar on your wages, and that is tbe last we ever see of you."
Tbe man retorted so sharply that one could almost have fancied tbe poor cemnant of spirit still abiding in bim •tirred to something resembling wrath. "That's always the way," he muttered.
Say we won't work they won't give us a shew. I know we're a pretty lowdown lot, but some of

aquare enough. If a man once gets down, there's no getting up again." Tbere was something almost pathetic tn bis very sullenness as be shuffled away, his rags flapping in the breeze, and ill-mated shoes.clattering an accom rxmlment to bis gait. "Come back here, will you!"
John Proctor's voice was stern and de dslve. Tbe tramp halted, hesitated looked away, then shuffled back again "Come down to tbe yard this after noon and I'll give you a job. But take the half dollar first and get filled up first."
He had exchanged the dime for a larger coin and|beldit in bis outstretched palm. The mau did not immediately extend his band to take it. In tbe moment or two tbat elapsed the younj lumberman thought that be detacte «trauw uf something allied to resentful pride iu his bearing. But the illusion vanished grimy hand closed greedily upon the silver, and a tew disappeared Without even troubling himself to make any formal expression of his gratitude
John Proctor looked after bun with aquizxlcal smile. Five minutes later he Jcnew his own name would be the boast of a drunken crowd of loafers in the aaloon around the corner. It was not Itis first experience of the kiud. To be aure it would help to advance a certain 4£ui xotic reputation which bad attached Itself to him since his first advent* in this little New Mexican town. But he bad steadily adhered to his creed Granted that niuety-nine out of a bun lred of this floating population were thieves «nt mendicants, he was wont to •ay, he preferred to be victimised by the aiaety and nine, rather than miss tbat hundredth man.
Arrived at the Park, a strip of land cunning through the heart of the place, the title to which was in dispute between the railroad company, a handful of determined squatters, and the Government, John brought down the wire fence this noon with one vigorous kick. Kicking down this wire fence was one of the legitimate pastimes of tbe inhabitants, who could not aflord to make a dolour of a mile or more to reach their places of business, not yet baserd garments by scaling it. These encroachments on the part of the citixens had ooce been resisted with warlike demonatratlons, but now as Proctor stepped through the g*P, a patient looking, round-shouldered litt.e man advanced, trundling a wheelbarrow laden with a fcuge coll of barb wire, and, politely greeting the trespasser, set about repairing the fence. Parson was in the employ of the road and scrupulously obey* «d his Instructions, but a gleam of feumor in his eye told that he sympathised with the transgressors.
As John Proctor took his way down through the Park in the direction of his office, he seemed to throw off the unpleasant reflections which had been annoying him, with one shrug of his powerful shoulders. The young man's oyes fell cheerily upon the somewhat Incongruous array ot buildings which constituted the town. He gloried in the homely little edifices, squatting over tlie ground in various directions. Had not every toot ot lumber been supplied Crom his own yard, and did not this avalanche of traoe mean—Annie Nothing could be mean or poor which brought these weary years of waiting to an end. He was a practical man, lit* tie given to enthusiasm of any sort, but for Mr sake he looked with glowing virion upon the turreted mountain tons In the distance, with their purple shadows awl golden lights. How she would ctgotoe over them, that quiet little denls»n of Western prairies who bad lived oWn her life.

ion* levels of Central
The thought lent cheerful eneny to his voice as be entered the yard aodgav* •ome directions to Maxon, his hardworked bookkeeper and general factotum. Proctor was deeply engrafted In making out an order for several carloads of finishing iumoer, when a shadow darkened the door, and the tramp stood before him* He could not repress aa exclamation of surprise. The vagabond observed and his face lowered as he asserted himself defiantly.
Yea, I'va come," he said. "What are you gotag to give me to dot** John Proctor pot on bis hat and went with him Into the yard, where as empty oar was waiting to te filled on an order from a neighboring town. He showed

A little," returned the man shortly The young lumberman took his wsy to the office. A little later the ruddy visage of Maxon, 1 have anew man at work out in the yard. You might keep an eye en him." "Now, Mr. Proctor!" exclaimed Maxon, in hopeless protest. "Is it another of them fellows "Well, yon see, he declared he was willing to work, snd it seems only fair to give a man a chance."

tor. "So far as I'm concerned, of course Its nothing to me," observed Maxon, dejectedly. "But it nuts me oot to have you isade a laughing-stock all over town. It's a shame well, it's no use talking. Yes, you may depend upon me to Keep an eye on him, sir. Those fellows will bear watching. 1 say though, Mr. Proctor, haven't you got mighty close up to that hundred?"
Half an hour later Maxon looked in again, his face lit up with a mischievous imile. "Don't you want to take a look at rournewLand now, Mr. Proctor? He's ust like the rest of tbem sitting on umber pile all doubled up with a pain in—"
A flying Spanish conversation book checked further intelligence and Maxon dodged around tbe corner to escape other missiles. At six o'clock, when the bands came up to receive pay for their day's labor, John Proctor saw bis rotege standing off at a little distance, be man made no demand for wages and his employer took no notice of him As tbe men filed out the express agent of tbe Ptumbago City train, a personal frieud of Proctor's, came running into tbe office with a package in bis band. "Here, Proctor, run them over quickly and sign this receipt. It's tbe five thousand from Juarez a Signor. 1 haven'ta moment to spare."
Tbe lumberman hastily counted the notes, signed bis name to tbe receipt in a bold, dashing hand, and the agent hurried off. Left alone, Proctor drew from his pocket a long, Russia-leather pocketlbook and laid the notes carefully inside. As be thrust this into bis breast pocket, be chanced to glance toward the window, and encountered the hungry eyes of tbe tramp, sharply following tafs movements from without. As tbe man saw that he was detected, be paused seemed about to speak, then changed his mind and sauntered carelessly away. A vague anxiety assailed John Proctor. It was long after banking hours there was no help tor it. he must be custodian of bis treasure until morning.
He sat up lite tbat night. The pay mentof this sum was all that was necessary to make the Eastern trip a definite and tangible matter. There was a pile of correspondence to be turned off and a letter to be dispatched to tbat little woman in Illinois, telling her to discharge her music pupils and make ready for his coming. When he bad finished bis letters he sat quietlv for awhile in his big arm chair. It was very late when he rose and, locking doors and windows, proceeded to the little inner room where he slept. He drew off bis coat, and, folding it carefully, placed it beneath his pillow. Tben be examined the barrels of an English bull-dog piatol, which bung upon a hook beside bis bed. Reassured by this precaution he sank into a heavy sleep.
Several hours before, a man had crawled upon a low pileof planks, flank ed by two others of towering height, As be stretched himself at lensrtb, with a bundle of shakes for a pillow, he philosophically reflected that such abed was not to be despised. He was not illqualified to judge, for his experience had been wide and diversified, and he had learned to weigh the most delicate points of variance with the finediscrim lnation of a connoisseur. He bad travel ed half way across tbe Continent without once knowing the shelter of a civilised roof. He had tented beneath the fragrant shade of orange groves is Southern California, and. In waving fields of golden grain, passed some terrible July nigh to on the Colorado Desert where tbe mercury marks 110° at midnight, parching tot water and choked with the hot dust of the arid waste, waking at daybreak to find the delusive mirage mocking him in the distance. He had sunk down exhausted on the barren plateaus of Arizona and roused to find himself stabbed in a thousand places by tbe minute cacti needles, cast upon him by the malicious breeze: ever lured on by tbe sweet face of a child who had smiled farewell through a mist of tears.
The quiet ot the place, the gently stiringair, odorous with the fragrance of the pine woods, the sleepy twinkle of the stars overhead, and the weariness of muscles unaccustomed to labor, soon lulled him into slumber.
A little later, two glowing sparks of fire seemed to glide down the railroad track, stole around the office and disappeared within the long drying-shed at to rear. During their progress these sparks of fire occasionally described magnificent ct^tas in the air. in the accentuation ot certain rhythmical utterances In the corrupted Spanish of the ngue. The lowest Mexican who all his life goes half clothed, lalffedand
pted
Mexican tongue. The lowest Mexican peon, who all his life goes half clothed, lalf fed and unsheltered, handles his cigar or cigarette with the fine pomposity and careless grace of the proudest hidalgo.
John Proctor awoke that night to fiod himself assailed by a foe mightier than his feeble imagination had pictured. He tried to rise but found himself unable to move, oppressed by a terrible sense of suffocation from dense volumes of smoke which filled the air, through which vast sheets of flame darted their forked tongues toward him. Suddenly the wall of flame and smoke was parted, and the face of the tramp bent over him. He was roughly shaken, pulled off the bed. half dragged, halt earned through the little private office and into tbe larger room beyond, where the fire bad begun its work ot devastation. Tben voice and memory came back and he shouted: "My notes! In my coat pocket—under the pillow—let me go!
For answer he was violently propelled forward Into tbe arms ot some men, eagerly crowding through Uw flaming doorway. He struggled to free himself
Mason's fierce tones recalled hies to himself. Why, man, do you think we would let yon go into tbat fiery furnace again See! There goes the roof now.*1
With a gentle, waving motion, the roof seemed lo slowly vibrate to and tra then sank down with a sudden crash, and a flying column of sparks oslebraledits downfall.
With half dated aenaes John Proctor started about him, and his gass wandered to the sky abo above, where an angry

ignated. when the fellow threw off his seamed fronts and craggy peaks the coat and deftly attacked a pile of scant- glare of the unrighteous flames. Woula ling which chanced to be the first item

she admire them now 8urely it was a spectacle to enchant the eye of an unprejudiced spectator, whose whole possessions were not being sacrificed to the effect.
He turned collectedly to the scene before him. There was still something to be done. The cream of tbe stock had been destroyed, but unless some piles of lumber to 'the right of tbe building were speedily removed, the fire woult communicate with the whole outside stock, stretched for several hundred yards along the railroad track. He turned to the crowd of men who stood inactive,
gazing
The wet* worked like heroes. Their energy never waned until a faint light in tbe east began to rival the red glare which tbe flames, through the medium of the bigb, rare atmosphere, cast over tbe desert plains for miles around, and piece of lumber was removed to a safe distance.
Worn and wearied, John Proctor sat down to rest upon the wheel of his own copying press. A gradual change bad taken place in tbe ranks of the loungers. Many of the spectators of the night had gone home to refresh themselves with a nap, and the remainder were reinforced by a straggling corps of men who bad slept through all the turmoil and ex citement. One of these, a stout felloe lazing in his shirt bosom and a mimic beer bottle suspended from his massive watch chain, was recounting bis experience, as all people revel in detailing their individual impressions on the occasion of a fire, "You see I was sleeping like a log when Lizzie caught bold ofmy shoulder and she says: •Bob, Bob, wake up, tell you. The sky is all afire and there must be an eclipse!' I reached up to see if my pocket book was safe"
Tbe words brought back to John Proctor a sense of tne loss he had sustained. At that moment Maxon strolled up, flushed with exertion. He had just administered a sound kicking to couple of young Mexicans, whom he had detected making off with a keg of building hardware. "Maxon," he said, abruptly."did tbat fellow who got me out last night come out safely himself
Now I think of it," returned Maxon, "he went back a minute but he got out all right—just as the roof fell in. I thought at that moment a piece of falling timber hit him, but he scrambled off fast enough."
A dread suspicion assailed John Proc tor's honest heart but he repelled it sturdily. Yet all day long as he wan dered dreamily about, answering thousand idle questions or fishing from the rains various mementoes of the wreck there would constantly intrude upon him the memory of two greedy, devouring eyes, peering through a window, a strange retreat into a burning, and disappearance into the shadows. When night came it was necessary for someone to si "y and guard the ruins, for, if the wind should rise, some smouldering piles oi lumber might be fanned into a blaze, and tbe remainder of tbe stock be swept away. Maxon, weary and hollow-eyed, offered hisser vices. "Not a bit of it. Maxon. Go home to your wife and babies, I have engaged a mau."
Proctor did not add that the watchman he had engaged was no other than him self, but when tbe rest had gone he remained tbere alone. Separated as it was from the rest of the town, by night tbe place was a dreary solitude. Once tbe ball of a mocking bird thrilled in the distanoe. A fiery eye, miles away over the level plain, developed into the headlight of the locomotive of tbe evening tr«UB, which thundered past on its way to the depot below. The moon came up and threw into weird relief the blackened ruins.
John Proctor, who had been slowly pacing to and fro, sat down upon a junch of shingles and buried his face in his hands. He knew, what not even Maxon bad guessed, tbat this disaster had wrought his irreparable ruin. It would require every cent of the insurance money to settle his outstanding liabilities, for he had done business on the rushing Western plan, and had carried a stock out ot all proportion to his capital. If he could only have saved that five thousand, or if he bad not been so ambitious. Annie had been ready— xor little girl! She had ever xingtng ber piano to the raw Southern town, and eking out their income with the result of ber own labors. Chi one point he was resolved. Whenever he got square with tbe world again, he would put bis pride in his {Mxiket, and humbly present himself before tbe little woman, ask her to share his fortunes, for better or worse. Oh God! how long would It be? A stifled groan escaped his lips.
Suddenly be rose and stood erect. His quick ear had oought the sound of some heavy body slowly moving over the ground. "Whois tbere?"
A wavering voice replied. "Only mo. Is that you, bow?" John Proctor bent forward and peroaived a wan slowly crawling along in the shadow of a pile of joists. As the figure emerged into the moonlight, be saw that the fellow dragged one leg helplessly after him. His suspicions melted away beneath his natural warmth of bfirt. "Are you hurt?** "Only a falling timber, boss, bat tbe fire got into my eyes and I cant see very

weirdly reflecting from their
upon the scene:
"Come on and help us save the lum ber!" A couple of dozen men came promptly forward. The lumberman saw,,to his surprise, that the volunteers were almost exclusively composed of the socalled professional inen of the town. The local officials of the railroad, adrapper, well-dressed set of fellows, com monly viewed with contemptuous eyes by the hard working portion of the population, presented themselves almost to a man. The tall form of Judge Cheese man, a stiff and somewhat aristo cratlc legal luminary, loomed up in their midst. A quiet-looking little real estrte agent leaped upon a pile of shingles and began to fling the bunches down to German chemist below. Two rival edi tors, (for the least of New Mexican villages usually beasts its miniature newspaperdom,) who had exchanged shots on Gold Avenue the previous day, glared cordially at «scn other along tbe lengths of tbe timbers tbey undertook to transport to a place of safety. The laboring population offered scarcely repr&eutfttive, save in tbe persons of a few contractors aed mechanics, who had learned to know and like tbe pleasant young lumberman.
The office and bar room of tbe hotel, a pretentious structure of Eastlake architecture, held its usual quota of respectable loafers, when John Proctor entered, with the uncoth figure on his back. A gurgle of laughter ran through the crowd. The majority fancied the young lumberman's brain bad been turned by his recent losee, and that his dementia had taken the form of a violent development of the weakness with which he bad hitherto been accredited. The laughter suddenly ceased when the young man went straight to the clerk, saying, in clear, ringing tones: *'Give me tbe best room vou have. This man who saved my life last night, is badly hurt. Some of you." turmng to the idlers, "go at once for the surgeon of the Atchison road."
A dozen men sprang forward to relieve him of his burden, to help him carry the poor fellow to a comfortable room, where he was gently laid upon the bed. The sufferer received those attentions in silence. His dim eyes stared incredulously about the room, and into the kind faces bending over him. Tbat ytbing like this snould happen to bim! How long would it last Would they let him have one good night's rest before turning him out again. When once more on the desolate plain, wandering through sage-brush, mesquite and soap weed, it would seem like some strange dream. But what was this? The stalwart young lumberman speak ing huskily to tbe doctor: "And mind, McLean, do your best, 2" owe him more than I can teU you. Put him in g»od trim to take the/oi'emanship ofmy yard when I get stocked up."
Tbe silly old vagraut buried his face in the pillow and wept.
