He could see a number of people moving about a quarter of n mile west of the depot. They were tearing down a burning fence that was lu perilous proximity to some straw stacks and a barn. lie heard and saw the 0:50 ou the M. and V. pull In.

Only one passenger left the train. He disappeared Into the depot Koger Oakley waited until It was qulto dark, and then, leaving the strip of woods Just back of the depot, where be had been hiding, stole cautiously down to the track. lie had noticed that there were an engine and some freight cars on one of the sidings. He moved among them, keeping well In tlie shadow. Suddenly he paused. Two men emerged from the depot They came down the platform In the dlrec- iinycr liMt uwtchrd from rover. tloii of the cars. They were talking earnestly together. One swung himself up Into the engine and lighted a torch. lie wondered what they were doing and stole ncmcr. They were standing on the plati'orm now, and the man who held the torch had his back to blm. His companion was siijlng something altout the wires being down. lie listened Intently.

Helloway wired back that be li.id the letter under consideration and requested Oakley to reiiiulu 111 Chicago until be returned, but he did not say whether or not his reslguntlou would be accepted.

Dan bad the feeling that he should never see him again, ami the pathos of his age and dependence tore bis heart. In a manner, too, he blamed himself for the tragedy. It might have been averted bud bo said less about Ityder in his father's hearing. lie should have known better than to dis cuss the strike with him. One morning os lie left llolloway's olllce he chanced to meet an iiciualut ance by the name of Curtice. They had been together lu Denver yeurs before, and he had known him as u rather talkative young fellow, with large hopes und a thrifty eye to the main chance. But he was the one man he would have preferred to meet, for he had been lu Houth America and knew the fluid there. Apparently Curtice wus equally glad to see blm. He Insisted ..nr... 1 .. V.

"What about the roud you are with?" "Oh, the road? We are pnttlng It In shape." Oakley smiled a trifle skeptically. , lie recalled that even as a very young man, tilling a very subordinate posl- ' tlon, Curtice hud clung to the "we." j Curtice saw the smile and remembered : too. "Now, see here, I'm giving It to you ! straight. I really am the whole thing. ! I've got a greenhorn for a boss, whose ! Ignorance of the business Is ouly I equaled by his confidence lu me.

W. Miller" pianos manufactured by the S. W. Miller Piano Co. rf Sheboygan, Wis. Any other piano turned out or manu factured or stenciled with a aimilar uame is a rank stencil and is uot the genuiue "S. W. Miller" piano. Iu order to protect the buying public from frauds of this kind, we wish to say that all genuine "S. W. Miller" piauos are manufactured at Sheboy gan, Wta. and have the name "S. V. Milltr. Cabinet Oraud, Chicago and Sheboygau" ou the fall leant aud also have the name "S. W. Miller Piano Oj. " Oket iu the cast iron plate. Auy other piano with a similar name ex cepting the Henry V. Miller piano manufactured at Botsnn, Mars, are rank stencils, aud if we can trace tneir origin, we will certainly bring suit ngaitit all such uiauufactari r and dealers. The genuiue "S. W. Miller" piano is strictly high grale aud cannot be sold for a low price, as there is uo better piano manu factured iu the world. We attach to this letter a caution slip printed a year ago, when we bad similar trouble with some manu facturers making stencil S. W. Miller piano aud itenciliug it Chicago. These parties were promptly d alt with and had a tood suit on their hands to settle, which they have done and we have not been bothered with these people but now it appears that tome other concern is makiu, a simi lar stencil piano aud sleuoiling it New York. It will be a very easy matter for us to find out the origin of any steueil "S. W. Miller" pianos aud we will deal with them very harshly, as we will appeal this matter to the Manufacturers Association aad ate sure that we can find out the offender. As far as any other dealer is con cerned, who states that he can sell an "S. W. Miller" piauo $-'i0 less than too can. will say that it is absolutely false, as no one in Southern Oregon can buy an "S. W. Miller" piano from ns, while yoa are oar sole repre sentative.
