CHAPTER I.
The westering sun was casting
lengthy shadows among the gaunt
pines and sturdy aspens along the
steep upward slope of a certain wild
canyon in the Nevada Sierras.
Five hundred feet below the dry
floor of the gulch, which here widened
to a narrow valley, was filled from
wall to wall with a motley huddle of
rough cabins, jigsaw cottages, a
glaring red brick opera house, hotel,
and bank all in one, and a pair of
tilapboarded, whitewashed churches.
Upon the sultry and drowsy air of
a summer afternoon there arose the
confused hum and the hoarse murmur
of strenuous industry, above which,
like the footsteps of the animated
etone statue in "Don Juan," the in
sistent note of the busy "stamps," at
work night and day, three "shifts" in
each 24 hours, dominated all other
sounds.
This was th"e little mining town of
Meleen, named in honor of its found
er, who was likewise the discoverer,
manipulator, and chief owner of the
rich Peacock lode, which gave employ
ment to 303 men and netted over a
million a year for its stockholders.
Rough and ready. Ignorant and
Bhrewd, was old Andrew Meleen.
Originally a Welsh miner in Cardiff
and later in the Pennsylvania coal
fields, he by turns had been volunteer
soldier, pioneer, prospector, and final
ly many times a millionaire, after
weary years of fortune-chasing up and
down the gold and silver country of
the great west.
for the crude affairs of 'this typical
raw western camp, with its bizarre ad
mixture of civilization and savagery,
-we have only a passing Interest in
that it is the starting point of the
story In hand. Our present and most
iTivldly human concern is with the
Creator of all this Industry and po
tential wealth and he lay a-dying.
Far up the eastern hillside com
manding the town, whence one could
almost fancy he was looking over the
next divide to where the flaming sun
was setting amid cloudy billows in
the wide Pacific miles beyond, on a
sort of bench or plateau an acre in
extent, stood a curious and rambling
wooden structure, in triple part log
cabin, hunting ranch, and modern
country house.
This unique huddle of divers styles
of pioneer architecture really repre
sented as many different periods in
the fortunes of its eccentric owner.
The rough, unbarked logs of the orig
inal single-roomed cabin which
formed a prominent wing or angle
marked the poor-prospector stage;
then, with more prosperous times,
came an addition framed by a wander
ing Tankee carpenter and sheathed
with boards of red wood, now beauti
fully weathered to a rich mahogany
hue; finally, as if to mark the ultimate
rise to affluence of the occupant, a
two-story structure had been added,
ehingled as to walls and roof, while
upon three sides a covered veranda
wide enough for a fashionable cotillon,
approached by generous steps and a
peaked porch, gave comfortable as
surance of cool shade and a constant
breeze shifting with the sun.
Around and above porch and cabin
there clambered festoons of grape
vines and wild creepers, the dark
green leaves lending a deeper tinge to
the background of cedar and redwood
posts and walls.
From this eyrie the old man who
was Its chief occupant could easily
toss a lump of his own shining ore
on the roofs of the little town be
r.eath; viewed by day, the smoke of
Its furnaces went winding away in
long spirals and ribbons of vapor; at
Eight, the spurts of colored flame
from the chimneys of retort house
end smelter lit up the opposite sides
of the canyon in fitful Cashes of
murky red, or paled to an orange glow
tinder the wan light of the moon.
Tha cnlitiirr Ha'f.llpr cj (hp tiillt.lr!
never weaned or the changing pic
ture. It was his; he had called into
being the town and its throbbing in
dustries; he loved it with the pas
sionate, yearning love of a wifeless
end childless old man. For him the
cities of the coast Los Angeles or
Ean Francisco, Portland or Seattle
possessed few charms. They only
served to bank his constantly increas
ing millions. The rough little town,
with its amazing monthly output of
poll and silver and copper, stood to :
bim in place of wife and child; the ;
queer old ranch overlooking it all j
was bis real home his pride, bis pas- j
fion, his delight ,
And now the time was come when
be must leave it all and go hence, for
Andy Meleen was dying, and chiefly
of that most Incurable of diseases, old
age, while his vast wealth must de
scend to an heir whom he bad never
seen.
Upon a curious contrivance of do
mestic devising, half bedstead, half, re
clining chair, set upon casters so that
it opuld readily be wheeled Indoors
and out, lay the old millionaire. Each
livelong day, from sunrise to sunset,
he insisted on being placed in his
wide porch, whence he could still
oversee his beloved town, and gaze
at the noble prospect, with its con
stantly shifting panorama of lights
and shadows. Only nightfall drove
him within doors.
Rugged and gnarled as his own na
tive hills, originally of great girth and
mighty In stature, he was now shrunk
en to mere skin and bone. All the
life and virility of the man seemed to
I have retreated to the massive head,
as beleaguered forces take refuge in
some strong keep for a last desperate
rally. From beneath a square fore
head and a thatch of grizzled eye
brows a pair of piercing gray-blue
eyes flashed Imperiously, while from
the heaving chest there still Issued
tones surprisingly strong for one so
evidently near his end. There was
no sign of senility when he shot a
curt query at his only servant, an old
pioneer like himself, who sat In the
doorway stolidly cleaning a rifle, out
of sight but within call.
"Putty nigh timo that lawyer fellow
was here, eh?" said Andy over his
shoulder, striving vainly to raise his
head from the high-heaped cushions,
but only succeeding in moving It from
side to side.
Evan rose and went to the railing 1
of the veranda, whence one could see
the winding road, scarcely more than
a well-trodden trail, which led from
the town to the house on the hill.
Shading his eyes from the blinding
glare of the nearly level sun rays, he
peered downward Tfor some moments
before responding. Then, saying la
conically:
"Jest comin' up the rise," be re
turned to his seat and his task.
Shortly, there became audible the
soft thud of hoof-beats and the creak
ing of straining leather, punctured by
the cracking of a whip and the en
couraging "cluck-cluck" of the driver.
The road curved behind the house,
and as the sounds drew away Meleen
followed them with a 'hearkening,
rolling motion of the head infinitely
pathetic In its yearning helplessness
and impotence.
Soon there was the sound of foot
steps within the house, and there ap
peared upon the veranda the long-expected
arrival, Phlneas Carboy, a well
known San Francisco practitioner in
the law, whose firm had transacted
most of Andrew Meleen's affairs since
"That's the Law, Ain't It?"
he had been wealthy enough to afford
the luxury of eminent legal advice.
Never in his life had he needed It
more than now.
His eyes flashed with feverish Im
patience as he responded to the law
yer's formal greetings. Hardly was
he seated, note book in hand, than the
dying man rapped out curtly:
"Are y' ready?"
"Quite so, Mr. Meleen," was the
response; knowing his man, Mr. Car
boy wasted no words on formal con
dolences or tame civilities.
"Un'erstand what 1 want done?"
was the next question.
"Your telegram intimated that you
desired to give me instructions for
your last will and testament."
"Instructions yes ye'll get enough
of them!" with a grim smile; "but I
want the thing fixed up this blessed
night. My time's short, as y' see. Can
y do it will it stand?"
Mr. Carboy nodded gravely, and
with pen ready poistd looked ex
pectantly at his client. But the lat
ter's next words were not exactly
those he anticipated.
"How much sh'd you say I wuz
wuth, Carboy, If everything wuz
cleaned up an' turned into cash?" in
quired the old man. The legal mind
hesitated, but only for an instant.
"Twenty-five or tbirty million dol
lars at the very least," was the quiet
reply.
"I guess that's about it," sighed
Andy Moleen. "Now, man, stick a pin
through this: I'm going to leave all
that I'm wuth to a feller I've niver
seen!"
He shot a keen glance at Mr. Car
boy to judge of the effect of this some
what startling announcement, but the
lawyer was too well trained to show
any mark of surprise beyond a slight
contracting and lifting of the eye
brows. "You know bis name, I presume,
and where he can be found?"
"No, I don't!" was the reply snapped
back; "that's for you f find out. This
is the way of it: I had an only sister
over tbre in th' old country named
Mattie. She kem t' Ameriky ten year
after I did, an' I beard she wuz mar
, ill
ried an' had a son. But I've forgotten
her husband's name If I lver knew It
Ila'n't seen her since she wuz a slip
of a girl. 'Course, she may be dead,
an' the boy, too, though she wuz
younger'n me by four or five year; but
you've got to try an' find "em."
"You never saw your sister after
' she arrived in this country, and held
no communication whatever?" asked
the lawyer, making notes.
Aieieen shook his head. I wuz
mighty poor myself In those days. Car
boy, an" oh, well, I'd troubles of my
own, an' then I drifted west an' out
here."
"Where was this sister living when
you last heard of her?"
"N" York."
"How many years ago would that
be?"
" 'Bout 20, I reckon."
"And her son, if living, Is. to have
everything?"
"That's it!" was the emphatic reply.
"Gosh! I'll bet he'll bo astonished
wherever and whoever he is!"
"Doubtless!" was Carboy's dry com
ment. "But had you no other kin, Mr.
Meleen?"
"Nary a kin," was thb reply. "There
was on'y me an' Mattie, an' we wuz
left orphans when I wuz no bigger'n
a shovel."
"No cousins, for instance?" per
sisted Mr. Carboy.
"Nary a cousin." i
"Were you ever married yourself?"
was the next query. Simple and nec
essary as It was under the circum
stances, and put in a colorless, matter-of-fact
manner, its effect on the re
cumbent figure of old Andy Meleen
was like that of a galvanic battery ap
plied to a corpse. His nervous and
shrunken frame twitched and quiv
ered; the once mighty chest heaved
as though it would burst asunder;
great beads of sweat broke out on
face and forehead, and his strong
mouth and chin trembled with emo
tions entirely apart from causes due
to age and weakness. Mr. Carboy
was genuinely distressed at the ef
fect he had so unwittingly produced.
Something in the question had
touched Andy on the raw. In halting
and fragmentary phrases he said:
"God forgive me, Carboy, I wuz mar
ried, an' to the sweetest little woman
that ever trod God A'mighty's foot
stool! I wuz a man full grown then
45 years old old 'nuff to know bet
ter! I wuz workin' In the Pennsyl
vania coal mines. A month after the
weddin' we had a main bitter quarrel.
There kem a strike, an' I went out
along o' the rest o' the boys. Minna
didn't like my bein' out o' work, an'
told me so. There wuz hot words, an'
in a blindin' rage ' struck her an' left
the house, swearin' I'd never go back!
Then, like a fule, I went an' 'listed for
Uncle Sam. At the fightin' In th'
Wilderness, my fust battle, I got hit
in three or four places, an' th' am
bylances left me on the field for dead.
But an old farmer picked me up, an'
after putting in a year o' hospital I
kem out putty nigh as fit as even
Th' war wuz over, an' then I heerd
that my wife, my Minna, had died in
her time o' trouble an' her girl baby
with her. As heaven's my witness,
I've niver squared myself with myself
for leavin' her alone at such a time. I
tramped west niver showed my ugly
face east ag'ln an' you know the
rest."
"Forgive me for arousing such pain
ful memories, Mr. Meleen," said Car
boy, "but the inquiry was Inevitable;
we must know where we stand."
Old Andy signified that he heard
and appreciated. The strain of this
long recital had come mighty' near to
parting his mortal coil then and there,
and he lay as one indeed very near to
death. Mr. Carboy waited a few min
utes he was not yet done with his
probings Into the past. At length
Meleen opened his eyes once more
and turned them mutely on his in
quisitor, who interpreted that as a
sign for him to proceed.
"I presume these matters can be
verified the time and place of your
marriage and the date of demise of
your wife and child?"
For answer the old miner produced
a well-worn leather wallet from under
the blanket which covered him.
"You'll find th' dates an' names
there," he said faintly. "Anythin'
more y' want t' know?"
"One other point must be settled:
Suppose this nephew of yours is dead,
or cannot be found who is to inherit
in that case?"
Another ' spasm contorted Andy
rugged features.
"It goes to the state, I s'pose; that's
the law, ain't it?"
Carboy nodded.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
The Ultimate Aim,
Life is given us primarily to develop
character, to unfold and evolve the
soul, and the physical organism, our
body, is the testing ground and gym
nasium for its development, says the
Philadelphia Record.
The ultimate aim, then, of living
should be making the life beautiful
within, which always insures loveli
ness without the masterful conquest
of the lower nature, the. willing re
nunciation of trifling and unnecessary
habits; lots of the true and perfect
and avoidance of the untrue and Im
perfect; a realization that whatever
else other may do or be, that our con
scious universe will be made for and
by ourselves. The key of life and
the art of living are expressed In the
words mastery and attainment This
can be done by right thinking, by
finding our soul center. We will claim
our divine birthright, our royal privi
lege of standing erect and free with
brow bared to the white light of truth,
veritable sons and daughters of God.
Don't overdo a thing unless
are also prepared to do it over.

BRUNSWICK IS MODEL
GERMAN CITY HAS THE BEST SYS.
TEM OF CHARITIES.
Organization Headed by the Mayor by
Which Poverty, With Its Atendant
Evils, Is Reduced to the
Minimum,
"The subject of organized charities
forms a most Interesting study to the
political economist and the humanita
rlan," said J. W. F. Kanzler of Wolten
buettel, Germany, at the Arlington.
"It Is generally admitted that the
city of Brunswick, Germany, has the
model system of organized charity.
Brunswick, I should Judge, Is about
half the size of Washington. . It la
only a few miles from my home, and
as I am especially Interested in the
subject of the amelioration of the con
dition of the poor, I have paid consid
erable attention to the methods em
ployed here. Brunswick Is, fortunate
ly, provided with a number of small
parks near the center of the com
pactly built district, much like those
of Washington. These are utilized
as playgrounds and make the work
for the relief of the children much
easier.
"The city Is divided Into 26 admin
istrative districts for the supervision
of giving aid to the poor, and an
equal number for the work of taking
care of orphans and dependent chil
dren. The mayor of the city Is presi
dent of the board of administration.
He has an official staff, which Includes
a head physician, a specialist In dis
eases of the eye and another In dis
eases of the ear. Each poor district
Is under the supervision of a director.
He Is assisted by a dozen or more
men, who are known as guardians,
and by half as many women. A prac
ticing physician is assigned to each
district. The districts for orphans
also have their guardians, usually the
same persons as those In charge of
the relief work for the poor. These
guardians are chosen from different
classes, merchants, teachers and per
sons with independent incomes. They
serve without pay. By this systematic
organization poverty, with Its attend
ant evils, Is reduced to a minimum.
"There are more than a hundred
benevolent organizations In the city,
but no unofficial charity organization
society. Many of them are devoted
entirely to furnishing recreation In
the country and at the seashore for
poor children. These 'Institutions are
supported by contributions of small
amounts made by the citizens. Bruns
wick has excellent public baths, which
the children are taught to use often.
The little ones who live In that city
have a great advantage over the
children of most large cities as a
result of the kindness and the wis
dom of the Influential men and women
of the place." Washington Herald.
Genuine Enthusiasm.
William J. Orthweln, at a .dinnei
that preceded his departure for St.
Morltz, told, naturally enough, a num
ber of curling stories. For Mr. Orth
wein Is one of the great curlers of
Switzerland, and, stalwart and rosy,
he Is to be seen morning after morn
ing, on the Kulm ring, plying the
smooth stones all winter long.
"I am almost as devoted a curler "
so Mr. Orthwein's last story ran "as
Dougal MacDonald.
"Dougal MacDonald and his old
crony, Donald MacDougal, were once
opposed to each other In a famous
match, and the last two stones to fin
ish th'e game were the two cronies.
"Donald MacDougal, with enormous
deliberation, threw his stone. He
threw it well. He made what is called
a 'pat lid,' and Jumped for joy.
"Then it was Dougal MacDonald's
turn. His case seemed hopeless, but
such a splendid throw did he make
that the pat lid was knocked off and
his own stone lay at the side of the
tee, winning the game.
"In his joy the old fellow Jumped
sky high. He came down so bard that
he broke right through the Ice. He
sank, but, bobbing up again, he shout
ed from the cold water:
" 'III, lads, we've won, and if I dinna
come oot o' here alive be sure ye pit
that stone on my grave.' " Philadel
phia Bulletin.
Making Good.
"Wake up, cull!" says the burglar,
shaking the man by the shoulder.
The man wakes up, and Jumps up,
too.
"Wha-what do you wa-want?" he
asks.
"I went troo dls house las' week an'

ALFALFA GROWING.
Washincton Experiment Station at
Pullman Gives Valuable
Instructions.
For the guidance of persons desiring
orchard .is per cent, said the speak
anno, former agronomist of the Wash
ington experiment stations, Bays:
"In preparing to seed alfalfa, it is
usually best to plow in the fall, loav
ing the furrows rough over winter, in
order to secure the benefits of weath
ering, and to permit the settling of the
furrows by the action of the fall and
winter rains. This also encourages the
early germination of weed seeds, so
that the soil may be partially cleaned
of foul stuff in the spring preparation
of the soil for seeding.
"As soon as the soil is fit to work
in the spring, the surface should be
given a light working in order to form
a mulch to conserve the moisture and
to smooth the surface of the furrows
to encourage the germination of wood
seeds that lie near the surface. The
amount of cultivation must be deter
mined by the condition of the soil, but
should be sufficient j;o work up a good
mulch of loose earth. Deep cultivation
is not desirable. Up to the first day
of May the land should be given suf
ficient cultivation to preserve the
mulch, and to prevent weeds from se
curing too much of a start. About the
first of May the final preparation for
seeding should be given.
"If the surface has been well worked
prior to the first of May little more
than a single harrowing may be needed,
but the aim should be to secure a well
pulverized seed bed of two or three
inches depth with the bottom of the
furrow left firm. In case of spring
plowing, the firming(of the furrow may
be brought about by the use of a roller,
planker or other compacting tool.
"Soils west of the Cascade moun
tains seem to require inoculation for
successful alfalfa production. This is
best accomplished by harrowing in at
the final preparation for seeding, a
light sprinkling of soil taken from some
old alfalfa field where the crop has
grown successfully. Soils secured from
persons in this region who have suc
ceeded with alfalfa would do admira
bly for this purpose.
"Jn securing seed, be very careful
to purchaso seed possessing high vital
ity and free irom the seeds of noxious
weeds. It is more important to bo sure
of these two points than to seed al
falfa of a certain strain. Persons who
are not able to determino the purity
af samples furnished them should send
samples to the botanist of their state
experiment station, who will examine
free of charge, and report the results.
"If good seed is secured, ten pounds
per acre seeded broadcast on very tnor
oughlv prepared soil and well-harrowed
in will be ample. The Washington ex
periment station has secured better sue
cess by seeding with a grain drill, slip
ping the spouts of the drill otf the
grain box and attaching them to the
grass seed box, so that the seed will
be conducted into the shoes of the drill,
as in the case of wheat and oats. Set
ting the shoes of the drill to run shal
low will result in the seed being placed
in moist dirt where the greatest num
ber will germinate, and it will not be
put in too deep, if the soil has been
prepared as previously indicated.
"During the first season the alfalfa
should not bo pastured before it has
made a growth of at least a foot, as
the plant needs an opportunity to de
velop its root system. If weeds are apt
to seed run a mower over the piece
with the cutter bar tilted to cut high
There is no advantage in clipping back
the alfalfa if weeds do not become trou
blesome. After the alfalfa has thor
oughly established itself, it may be
mowed or pastured off. Each spring
as soon as the ground is fit to worK,
it is best to give the soil a thorough
working with a spring tooth harrow and
disc, or some other effective tool."
In an address recently given to the
student bodv of -the State Agricultural
College at Pullman, President Howard
Elliott of the Northern Pacific Rail
wav, said that one of the greatest needs
of the present day is an appreciation
of the values of country life. In part
he said:
"The railroads are interested in the
eenernl subject of education, and par
ticularlv are they interested in better
education, better methods of living, and
bettering country living in general as
compared with life m the cities.
"In the Inst 100 years there has been
a marked drifting away from the coun
try to the city. In 1800 only 3.1 per
cent of the people of the United States
lived in cities, and the census just
taken will probably show over 35 per
cent living in towns and cities.
"A great work is being done by the
agricultural colleges of the country in
showing how to make country life more
desirable, how to make better use )t
the land. Especially is this a great
work when it in an educational way
reaches young men and women of the
farming communities. We must have
more people who like to live in the
country. We must have country life
made more pleasant. There is no better
life for the young man or young woman
than a home in the country. They can
do better for themselves there. Scien
tific farming is just as important, and
in time will produce just as good re
sults ns scientific work in any other
pursuit.
"The people who live In the Pacific
Northwest. I believe, are very fortun
ate. It is a land which is just begin
ning to develop. It is a land which
will require a great deal of hard and
intelligent work for its future devel
opment. If any young man feels that
his opportunity is not as good now ns
it would have" been twenty five years
igo. he is mistaken. Opportunif ie nev
er were greater west of the Rocky
Mountains than today for an intelli
gent, thorough, patient young man or
woman."
