And he is one of those men who get all csorts of men to do all sorts of things for them. You know, building and op- erating railroads m this part of the country is no joke, The mountains are filled with men that don't care for God, irian, or the devil. Sometimes they furnish their own ammunition to fight with and don't bother the rail- road for years; at such times the rail- roads leaves them alone. For my part,. I never quarrel with a man that doesn't quarrel egith the road. Then collies a time when they get af- ter us, shooting our men or robbing our agents or stopping our trains. Of course we have to get busy them A few years ago they worried Bucks till they nearly turned his hair grey. At that unfortunate time I happened into Jus office with a letter on introduc- tion from his closest Chicago friend, Willis Howard, prince of good men, the man that made the Palmer House famous -yen Now I have come out here, Mies Durming - I almost said Miss Dicksie, because I hear it so much " "I should be greatly set up to hear you call me Dicksie.

When Whispering Smith bad follow- ed McCloud from the tent, Maisie turned to Marion and caught her hand. "Is this the terrible man I have heard about?" she murmured. "And 1E thought him ferocious! But is he as pitiless as they say, Marion? Marion laughed -a troubled little laugh of surprise and sadness. "Dear, he isn't pitiless, at all, He has up - pleasant -things to do, and does them. He is the man on whom the railroad relies to repress the lawlesness that breaks out in the mountains at times and interferes with the operating of the road. It frightens people away, and prevents others from coming in to settle. Railroads want law and order. Robbery and murders don't make business for railroads. They de- pend on settlers for developing a country, don't you know; otherwise they woukl have no traffae,not to speak of wanting their ireins and their men let alone. When Mr. Bucks undertook to open up this country to settlers, he needed a man of patience and endur- ance and with cotirage and skill in dealing with lawless men and on man has ever succeeded so well as this terrible man you have heard about. He is terrible my dear to lawless Men, not terrible, anyone else. He is terrible in resource and daring, but not in anythng else I _know of, and I knew him when he was a boy and wore a big pink worsted scarf when he went skating."

"And for once in my life 2 pairs of suspenders -a modest ambition, but a gnawing one. Would you believe it? Before I left Buck's office he had hired me for a railroad -mart. When he ask- ed what I could do, and I admitted a liftle experience in handling real es- tate, he brought his fist down on the table and swore I should be his right- of-way man." "How about the mining?" Whispering Smith waived his hand in something of the proud manner in which Bucks could wave his presi- dential hand. "My business, Bucks I said, need not interfere with that, not in the least; he said that I could do all the mining I wanted to, and I have done all the mining I wanted to. But here is the singular thing that hap -- poled; I opened up my office and had nothing to do; they didn't seem to want any right-of-way just then. I kept getting my check every month. and wasn't doing a hand's turn but riding over the country and shooting jack -rabbits. But, Lord 1 lore this eountry! Did you know I used to be a cowboy in the mountains yens ago? iedeed I did. I know it almost as well as you do. I mined more or lea; in the meantime.
