THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD SYNOPSIS: Young 1 1, Young E 1, Maitland, son of a New England seafaring family, and the hardened gambler, Speed Malone, met on a trip north to the Yukon gold fields in '87, when word of the rich ores there first came down the Pacific coast: 'Maitland was determined to win back his lost fortune before he returned home. The two men became partners, Speed promising not to get tangled with the law ifhe could hell's' it, and, to clear out from the partnership if he did. Frenchy, the fisherman whose smack took the two men north; Lucky Rose, the beautiful girl who had given a ring tb Maitland as a keepsake; Fal- lon, camp leader, resentful of Rose's attention to Maitland; Steiner•,the money lender.; young Pete and • his drunken partner Bill Owens; Brent, old-time prospector; Garnet, well-to- do traveller who hired Maitland and Speed to take his things over the mountains these are the principal - figures in the story. Ntalone, Mait- lend and 'Garnet hauled part of his stub from the. canvas camp on the Skagway beach over the trail to the carp . in the hills called Liarsville.. The 'trail -was in bad condition. Speed wanted to close it and mend it. Fallon wanted to push on. **'1M NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The shell dealer•, whose eyes had never left Speed's face; dived into the crowd, No one else saw the light- ning gesture with which the outlaw jerked his 'gunk. There was a glint in both his hands a split fraction of a second before the forty-five flashed and roared end spoke again. Fallon's weapons had hardly shifted when they were wrecked in their holsters. The third shot knocked • the cigar from his mouth, and the fourth went sideways at another mark on the near edge of the gambling table, where a man who had drawn at the 'sane time as Fallon, dropped his gun from a nerveless hand, his wrist streaming blood. Speed Backed away, eye raking the crowd,_ guns' held close and ready. "I told you I wasn't patient, and I ain't," he eaid, in a voice Maitland never had heard. "But bein' elected camp boss on a platform of cussed- ness, l accept accordin'.:Nothin' on segs will cross Porcupine Bridge Until the trail froom here to there rs in shape, and in good shags. The trail is barred for four days work. If anyone doubts about my havin' the guts to make that good, they can signify their views here and now by sayin' liar and coyote." It was the third evening after the barring of the trail 'Maitland fount. his partner talking alone with Brent near a roughly bridged crossing at the upper end of the road work, which a landslide that day had interrupted. During three days, new steamers had been pouring into .Skagway a mob of adventurers --"Sweepings" of the Coast towns as well as bona fide pros. peetors who knew nothing of the cause of the dispute and cored less, Fallon had been packing thein in at Lionville to vote the trail open; had chosen a posse of: gunmen in advance from among the wildest: 'Before this gathering threat, most of the trail workers had given way, "T.hey's a short string; of us will go the limit, if you want to," Brent was saying, Speed shook his -head. "It woudle' be no kind of a break for the boys who made this trail to get hung for it: Tell them—to pink up their tool'', leave her open and stand clear." • "I've got an old deer gun back to camp," Brent shifted the quid slowly in his cheek. "She ain't seed no'real action senee - she :fit a string of hide thieves from a buffalo wailer away back in '71. I'd.ruther shoot; her out than see you called that way.." There was acknowledgement in Speed's smile, but he declined the pro- posal, and: the old -tipsier gTaoinilg withdrew to carry his decision to the few men who were stillwaiting for 3t, ",Better trail with him, Bud," Speed said .to: his partner, "and look up Gannet. We ain't seen him for two clays." "daunt are you going to dol" ask- ed • Maitland, with a :foreboding that Speed had not disclosed his real in- tention. "Wle agreed once," said the outlaw, after a pause, "that I'd warn you and we'd split .partners if I ever went up against the Law. Seems Like I'nc reached that junction, Bud. I'in in- to this play neck deep and I can't quit." Maitland gave a sober nod of hall - comprehension. "It's only My hand Fallon's call- in'," Speed' explained earnestly ana with more emphasis. "I-Ie'Q1 head through here, first -with his shebang, and either he don't ogees• this bridge, or"I don't live to see it. But he has the backin' -of the miners' law, or will have, by sunup --•r "Mob law," Maitland amended, "If you don't see your way, to quit, Speed, You can't count me oat. On principle, I'd---" The Westerner groaned. "You orn- ery down-Easb Yanks, with your prin- ciples and proverbs—Listen, Bud. Whether I ever reach Dawson or not don't matter a whole lot; with you it's different. Itas what you come for.. •I've figured Garnet as your chance of gettin' there.." • But there is no law, East or West, and no tie as strong as that which binds a man to a. partner against fighting odds, and with Maitland the bond had been steel -woven by the memory of a bleak day in the Sonnet. Speed here found himself opposing something as elemental as his , own refusal to yield. The creek had a glacial !canyon, with smooth rock faces in the bed, and a timber growth that. started well up on the steep banks. Above a de- file connecting with the bridge, there was a rocky bluff which commanded a long view of the canyon and of the trail along the rim. Its weakness lay in a broken gulch that fell from it into the creek on the north side, and its possible exposure, to gunfire from the hills on the outer bank. It would be difficult to take. however, on the side facing the trail, , Here, within a reek corral, some gccds lay stacked; provisions, a wat- er canteen, several boxes of shells and a forty -form Winchester carbine The outlaw had evidently foreseoe what was coming. During supper he was brootlingip nuiot. A, blood -red moon was rising through the timber. It Lighted the mountain headlands, and left vastly deep shadows, made move tenebrous. by the occasional howl of a timber wolf, a lynx's shrill bark or the hoot of an owl.. Ile picked up the car- bine, his eyes on something invisible to Maitland, far up the that But pre- sently he set the gun down. "That's Teeth's mare." he said. A blurred shape moved in the dis- tant timber shadows, When it dres- sed a lane of moonlight, Maitland s o - cognized the mate and the boy. Guided by a sight as keen as Speed's Pete tante toward them as they des- cended the bluff. There was some- thing gallant and fine, Maitland thought, about that slight, boyish fig- ure. On meeting them, Pete gave him a reserved nod; glanced from the bluff to the .hills across the Canyon, and speke to Speed. "Need an exter ger hand ?" "I got one too many now," Speed muttered. '"Then, will you let me go through,'' I could ford the creek,'" Pete pleaded simply, "Thab wouldn't be "crossin' it on legs." Speed's eyes rested on the mare's light saddle pack, and then . on :the bry's face, which looked pale in the half-darkness. "Ileadin' for Bennett alone?" he asked, Peto-nodded. "My partner -Bill's dead." The words gave Maitland a poeul- iar shock. "How?" Speed asked softly, "He was in a game -in Skagway— with some 'of FaIlon's .men. Lost his outfit. He'd been ` drinkin', They found hire on the beach, -afterwards —drowned." !Speed did not speak for a moment. Suddenly a bul!le ent "apang" over the rampart. Then Ile said, "H'giv you aim to make out,, kid?" "There's a man in the Yukon Bill was to meet on the lakes," ;Pete said hesitantly. "Inc'gain' up to find him, If I don't see you boys again—" the formal tone broke slightly -- "Pin w'ishin' you luck. I-I;e. was in the saddle and away. The mare shot down the defile at a headlong gallop, took the full span of the bridge in a beautiful leap, and flashed up the hill on the other side into timber. A half male to the• South the trail cane in view over a timbered mown- tain shoulder. In !the rising sun, the trees casb long shadows across it, and it was a Ilickering in the rosy aisles between them that gave the signal. A team of gray mules topped the rise, shielding the men behind. Oth- er pack animals followed, and their drivers .gathered on the vantage ground, peering down the long vista toward the creek crossing, There was a puff of smoke; a •bullet screamed over. the Bluff through the morning silence; then same the sharp rifle crack. Out of the blue canyon mist, a great -winged golden eagle rose anti soared away. "We're jake so long as they keep in the creek," said .Speed. ,'`She' flat- tens out short of the bridge , . . Un- less they can dig past under the near bank. Watch that gully, Bud." He drew the six-shooters from his belt and inspected them; then raised hit head carefully above the rim of the rock corral to,get a steeper view. His eye raked the canyon Mon fora glimpse of Fallon, Suddenly a bullet went "spang" over the ram- -part, and he slid back with a grunt shaking away '.the blood that oozed from a raw seam above his temple.

But I got him placed now." • 'Changing his position, he edged along the boulders till he touched the outer rim. A bullet hissed' between his neck and the rock, with a glanc- ing spark. Speed' wheeled out and fired in the same instant. "Nicked his gun arm," he said, as he whipped back into shelter. "Fal- lon shoots besb left-handed. Watch your gulch, Bud" Wisps of smoke eddied out from various points high in the timber. Tho Wren who had started the ascent, paused irresolutely. These .bots from above came as a surprise, throw- ing a new and disturbing factor into their plan. They suspected that Speed had planted a guard on the hill to protect the bluff, and they had po way of guessing • its strength. Finally they dropped bath into the canyon, to consult, it seemed, with their leader.' "You haven% any men un on that hill?" Maitland asked Speed. Speed's grin was mysterious. "Ain't I, though. I got one, and he's as good as a gang. The little devil had it all figured when he crossed the bridge." "Pete!" Maitland exclaimed. But their attention was now sum- moned back to the posse. They caught a glinsise of Fallon with his arm in a bandage, giving orders. Until now Speed had contented himself with making the trail impas- sable. Now he shot with a searching intent to kill, hoping the while that Pette would vacate his 'position, But the gun kept speaking on the hill; `rte boy' was standing his ground. After the first few yards of ascent, the timber. on the 'near bank offered. bhe attackers helpful screen. Speed's eye came back to the boulders on the, other side, of, the creek. If he could reach these, he could sweep a wider are of hill with no impeding trees. He was 'gathering up the. ammuni- tion to make this desperate move when a sudden din from below stops ped him. Maitland, from his look- out, shooter''above the roar. "Look!" The deep voice of a Heavy -calibred gun was 1}'oansing and reverberating through the canyon.

I would like to be the possessor of a 3100,000 or 31,000,000. I am a believer in thrift —;even though,;I have not been a practiser: of this virtue, I believe that it is right for a breadwinner to aceunntlate.money for the protection ofhis own old age from: want and anxiety and for the 'well-being of those depedent on hien for the eeces- sitous things of life., What I pro- test against is: miserly: hoarding and the denial of the legitimate • wants and needs of those to whom one may owe food and, shelter and clothing and cultural and spiritual experiences. A few clays ago I. had conversation with a -man in a restaurant. We were strangers to each other. In r, friend- ly spirit' he asked me a question, and money, bat in coin of a better kind. This man expects to live another 20 years, II'e is in eontfortable circum- stances, yet he was having a 25 -cent luncheon, an indication that he eats wisely at midday and that he lives simply. Money is' for use not for hoard- ing or wasting, Men who lent their money to be used by others who can and do employ it productively and whose employment of it puts and keeps others at work, can quite legi- timately pat themselves on the back and say, "My money is being usefully employed." The 'man whom ,I atm crying out against is he who has more money than is needed to pro. vide him and those dependent on him with the essential things of life, and who will not use his money to make himself and those dependent onhim richer in these cultural and spiritual possessions and experiences which Wroth and rust cannot consume. - I read of a rich man who gave his son 350,000 upon his graduation from an eastern university, saying, "Son go and enjoy yourself for a year. Sow your wild oats. Then come back and into my business." The son sowed his wild oats --buying wine, women and song, So gross and lust- ful did he become in that year that he died 'within a few months after anis "fling" had come to an end;. Sure- ly a father owes his son an upbring- ing which will steady his' character and make him something better than pig. 1 Into my office came a few days ago a roan looping for work. Ho was not asking for charity, but was Offering his particular kind Of ser- vice—a, form of repair service. We got chatting.
