struggle for moro power and wealth,
What was the use of It alt with no

rotary brought him a telegram.
It wu from Harvey, anfo In Olou

on his desk, breathed heavily for
awhile; and , then, heaving orders

from coast to const, with railroad spe
cialists along the way dividing huge
bnnusea; for It wns the great Harvey
Cheyne who wns racing East to see
his rescued boy, and the boy'a mother
was with him.
Not without foar did he mwt Ihat
boy, He had a memory of a pasty
faced, bad-munneied lad, What he
met wus a boy with toughened figure
mid a keen, clenr eye,
Ralli'iiiids, lumber, mines such
things did not Interest young HurVey.
What his heart yearned for was to
some day nniniige his fnther'a newly
purchased sailing ships on the Pacific
Const. The ships he got when ho wns
ripe for ihein; and for Dan, son of
nisko Troop seeing Hint he could not
offer moneyhe got a berth as mate
if one of them, with the promise that
u'tne day he would go muster of the
host he could build.

A community thrive and grow a its baslness In

It may be in the erection ot a big buslneses struc
