termediary between cause and effeot; the cause being the capital of confiding investors In the North, and the effect the dissipation of the same in various and sundry development schemes In the new iron field. To Paradiae, In the course of his go­ ings to and fro, came this purger of other men’s purses, and he saw the fortuitous grouping of the possibilities at a glance: abundant iron of good quality; an accessible vein of coal, sec­ ond only to Pocahontas for coking; land cheap, water free, and a persuad­ able subject In straightforward, sim­ ple-hearted Caleb Gordon. Farley had no capital, but ho had that which counts far more In the pro­ moter’s field; namely, the ability to reap where others had sown. His plan, outlined to Caleb In a sweeping caval­ ry-dash of enthusiasm, was simplicity itself. Caleb should contribute the raw material—land, water and the ore quarry—and It should also be his part to secure a lease of the coal land from Major Dabney. In the meantime he, Farley, would undertake to float the enterprise In the North, forming a company and selling stock to provide the development capital. A company was formed, th# charter was obtained, and the golden stream began to flow into the treasury; into it and out again in the raceway chan­ nels of development. Thomas Jeffer­ son stood aghast when an army of workmen swept down on Paradise and began to change the very face of na­ ture. But that was only th# begin­ ning. For a time Chlawassee Coal and Iron flgu red buoyantly In the market quo­ tations, and delegations of stockhold­ ers. both present and prospective, were personally conducted to the scene of activities by enthusiastic Vice-Presi­ dent Farley. But when these had served their purpose a thing happened. One fine morning It was whispered on 'Change that Chlawassee iron would not Bessemer, and that Chlawassee coke had been rejected by the Bouthcra Association of Iron Smelters. Following a crash which was nsver very clearly understood by the simple- hearted soldier Iron-master, though It was merely a repetition of a lesson well conned by the earlier Investors In Southern coal and Iron fields. Caleb's craft was the making of Iron; not the financing of top-heavy corporations. So, when he was told that the company hud failed, and that he and Farley had been appointed receivers, he took It as a financial matter, of course, some­ what beyond his ken, and went about his dally task of supervision with a mind as undisturbed as it would havt been distraught had be known some­ thing of the subterranean mechanism by which the fullure and thd^recetvur- shlp had been brought to pass. (T o be continued.) THE QUICKENING 5 m :B Y : FRANCIS L Y N D E ■ x x Copyright. 1906, by Francis Lynda CH APTER VI. One purple and russet afternoon, When all the silent forest world was steeped in the deep peace of early au­ tumn, Thomas Jefferson was fishing luxuriously In the most distant of the upper pools. There were three fat perch gill-strung on a forked withe un­ der the overhanging bank, and a fourth was rising to the bait, yhen the peace­ ful stillness was rudely rent by a crashing in the undergrowth, and a great dog, of a breed hitherto unknown to Paradise, bounded into the little glade to stand glaring at the fisherman, his teeth bared and his black hairs bristling. "Oh, please! Don't hurt my dog!" ■aid a rather weak little voice out of the rearward void. "You come round here and call him off o' me." "He is not wishing to hurt you, or anybody," said the voice. "Down, Hec­ tor!" The Great Dane passed from sus­ picious rigidity and threatening lip twitching« to mighty and frivolous gambolings, and Thomas Jefferson got up to give him room. A girl was try­ ing to make the dog behave. So he had a chance to look her over before the battle for sovereignty should be­ gin. There was a little shock of disdain­ ful surprise to go with the first glance. Somehow he had been expecting some­ thing very different; something on the order of the Queen of Sheba—done small, of course—os that personage was pictured In the family Bible—a girl, proud and scornful, and possibly wearing a silk dress and satin shoes. Instead, she was only a pale, tired baby in a brlor-torn frock; a girl whose bones showed brazenly at every angle, and whose only claim to a sec­ ond glance lay in her thick mop of reddish-brown hair and In a pair of great, slate-bluo eyes two sizes too large for tho thin face. A double con­ clusion came and sat In Thomas Jef­ ferson's mind: she was rather to be contemptuously pitied than feared; and as for looks— well, she was not to be thought of In tho same day with black-eyed Nan Uryorson. When the dog was reduced to quietude, thq small one repaid Thomas Jefferson's stare With a level gaze out of the over-sized eyes. "Was It that you were afraid of Hector?" she asked. "H uh!" said Thomas Jefferson, and the scorn was partly for her queer wav Of speaking and partly for the foolish­ ness of the question. "Huh! I reckon you don’t know who I am. I’d have killed your dog If he'd jumped on me, maybe." "You are Thomas Gordon. Your mother took care of mo and prayed for me when I was sick. Hector is a —an extremely good dog. Ho would not Jump at you." "It's mighty lucky for him he didn’t," bragged Thomas Jefferson, with a very creditable imitation of his father’s grim frown. Then he sat down on the bank of the stream and busied himself with his fishing-tackle as If he consid­ ered the incident closed. "What is it that you are trying to go?" asked Ardea, when the silence had extended to the third worm im­ paled on the hook and promptly ab­ stracted therefrom by a wily sucker lying at the bottom of the pool. "I was fishln’ some before you and your dog came along and scared all the perch away,” he said, sourly. Then, turning suddenly on her: "Why don’t you go ahead nnd say it? Is it 'cause you’re afeard to?" "I don’t know what you mean." "I know what you’re going to say; you are going to tell me this is your grandfather's land and run me otY. But I ain’t aimin’ to go till I'm good and ready." "You are such a funny boy," she re­ marked, and there was something in her way of saying it that made Thom­ as Jefferson feel little and infantile and inferior, though he was sure there must bo an Immenso age difference n his favor. "I think you are mean, mean!" she sobbed, with an angry stamp of her foot. "I—1 want to go ho-ome!" "Well, I reckon there ain’t anybody holdln' you," said Thomas Jefferson, brutally, lie was Intent on fixing the sixth worm on the hook in such fash­ ion as permanently to discourage the bait thief, nnd was coming to his own In the matter of self-possession with grateful facility. It was going to be notably easy to bully her—another point of difference between her and Nan llryerson. "I know there Isn’t anybody holding me. but—but I can’t find the way." "You want me to show you?” he asked, putting all the ungraciousness he could muster into the query. "You might tell me, I should think! I’ ve walked and walked!” "I reckon I’d better take you; you might get lost again," ho said, with gloomy sarcasm. Then he consumed all the time he could for the methodi­ cal disposal of his fishing-tackle. It would be good for her to learn that she must wait on his motions. She waited patiently, sitting on the ground with one arm around the neck of the Great Dane; and when Thomas JefTerron stole a glance at her to see how she wns taking it. she looked so tired and thin and woebegone that he almost let the better part of him get the upper hand. That made him sur­ lier than ever when he finally recov­ ered his string of fish from the stream and said: "Well, come on, if you’re cornin’." He told himself, hypocritically, that It was only to show her what hard­ ships she would have to face If she should try to tag him. that he dragged her such a weary round over the hills and through the worat brier patches and across and across the creek, doub­ ling and circling until the easy mile was spun out into three uncommonly difficult ones. But at bottom the mo­ tive ■■ I In .ill tlM range of sentient creatures there 1s none so Innately and barbarously cruel as the human boy-child; and this was the first time Thomas Jefferson hail ever had a helplessly pliable subject. The better she kept up, the more de­ termined he became to break her down; but at th very last, when she •tumbled and fell In an old leaf bed and cried for sheer weariness, he re­ lented enough to say: "I reckon you’ll know better than to go projectin’ round in the woods the next time. Come on— we’re most there, now." But Ardca’s troubles were not yet at an end. She stopped crying and got up to follow him blindly over more hills and through other brier tangles; and when they finally emerged In the cleared lands, they were still on the wrong side of the creek. "It’s only about up to your chin; reckon you can wade It?" asked Thom­ as Jefferson, In a sudden access of heart-hardening. But it softened him a little to see her gather her torn frock and stumble down to the water’s edge without a word, and he added: “ Hold on; maybe we can find a log, some­ where." There was a foot log Just around the next bend above, as he very well knew, and thither he led the way. The dog made the crossing first, and stood wag­ ging his tail encouragingly on the bank of safety. Then Thomas Jefferson passed his trembling victim out on the log. "You go first,” he directed; ”s« *t I can catch you If you slip." "Oh, you please go first, so I won’t have to look down at the water!" "No; I’m coming behind—then I can catch you If you get dizzy and go to fall," he said, stubbornly. ’’Will you wulk right up close, so I can know you are there?" Thomas Jefferson’s smile was cruelly misleading, as were his words. "All you’ll have to do will be to reach your hand back and grab me," he assured her; and thereupon she began in inch her way out over the swirling pool. When he saw that she could by no possibility turn to look buck, Thomas Jefferson deliberately sat down on tho bank to watch her. There had never befen anything In his life so tlgerlshly delightful as this gams of playing on the feelings and fears of the girl whose coming had spoiled the solitudes. For the first few feet Ardea went steadily forward, keeping her eyes fixed on the Great Dane sitting motionless at the farther end of the bridge of peril. Then, suddenly the dog grew impatient and began to leap and bark like a fool­ ish puppy. It was too much for Ardea to huve her eye-anchor thus trans­ formed into a dizzying whirlwind of gray monsters. She reached backward for the reassuring hand; It was not there, and the next Instant the hungry pool rose up to engulf her. In all hie years Thomas Jefferson had never had such a stab as that which an Instantly awakened con­ science gave him when she slipped and fell. Now he was her murderer, be- yong any hope of future mercies. For a moment the horror of It held him vise-like. Then the sight of the great Dane plunging to the rescue freed him. "Good dog!” he screamed, diving headlong from his own sldo of the pool; and between them Ardea wag dragged ashore, a limp little heap of saturation, conscious, but with her teeth chattering and great, dark cir­ cles around the big blue eyes. "I’m awfully sorry!" he stammered. ’’If you can’t make out to forgive me, I'm going to have a miser’ble time of It after I get home." "It will serve you quite right. Now you’d better get me home as quick as ever you can. I expect I'll be sick again, after this.” He held his peace and walked her us fast as he could across the fields and out on the pike. But at the Dabney gates he paused. It was not in human courage to face the Major under exist­ ing conditions. "I reckon you’ll go and tell your gran'paw on me," he said, hopelessly. "Why should I not tell him? And 1 never want to see you or hear of you again, you cruel, hateful boy!” Thomas Jefferson hung about the gate while she went stumbling up the driveway, leaving heavily on the greut dog. When she hud safely reached the house he went slowly homeward, wad­ ing in trouble even as he waded in the white dust of tiie piko. For when one drinks too deeply of the cup of tyran­ ny the lees are apt to be like the Utile hook the Revelator ate—sweet as honey in the mouth and bitter In the belly. That evening at the supper-table ho had one nerve-racking fear dispelled and another confirmed by his mother's reply to a question put by his father. * Yes; the Major sent for me again this afternoon. That child is back In lied again with a high fever. It seems she was out playing with that greut dog of hers and fell into the creek. I wanted to toll the Major he is Just tempting Providence, th« way lie makes over her and indulges her, but I didn’t dare to." Ami Thomas Jefferson knew that hw was lbs on« who had tempted Provi­ dence. CHAPTER VII. Fr«m th« grave and thoughtful van­ tage-ground of 13. Thomas Jefferson could look back on the second Illness of Ard«a Dabney as the closing incident of his childhood. The tnduetrlul changes which were then beginning, not only for the city beyond the moun­ tain, but for all the region round about, had rushed swiftly on Paradise; and the old listless life of the unhusttng period soon receded quickly into a far­ away past, remembermble only when one made an effort to recall It. First had come tho completion of the Great Southwestern. Diverted by the untiring opposition of Major Dabney from its chosen path through the val­ ley, it skirted the westward hills, pass­ ing within a few hundred yards of the Gordon furnace. Since business knows no animosities, the part whleh Caleb Gordon and his gun crew had played in the right-of-way conflict was Ig­ nored. The way-station at the creek crossing was named Gordonla, and It was the railway traffic manager him­ self who suggested to the Iron-master the taking of a partner with capital, the opening of the vein of coking coal on Mount Lebanon, the Inetnllatton of coking-ovens, and the modernising and enlarging of the furnace and foundry plant—hints all pointing to Increased traffic for the road.

CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Joings of the World at Large Told in Brief. General Resume o f Important Events Presented In Condensed Form fo r Our Busy Readers. The International Harvester com­ pany has been declared a trust by the Missouri courts. It is believed Secretary Ballinger will be vindicated by the conservation investigating committee. Governor Crothers, of Maryland, promises some startling disclosures in connection with the cocaine business in Baltimore. A brilliant meteor passed over Northwestern Oregon Sunday, and re­ ports are that pieces of it were picked up near Woodburn. California legislators cheered at the reading o f a constitutional amendment to allow the Btate to raise money for the San Francisco fair. A lone robber shot a flagman and then robbed the passengers in a Pull­ man car while the train was passing through the yards in St. Louis. Two men were drowned in the St. Lawrence river by the overturning o f their motor boat, while their wives stood helpless on shore but a few feet away. HARVESTER CONCERN IS TRUST — State of Missouri Wins Suit Against Local Company. Jefferson City. Mo.— Special Com­ missioner Theodore Brace, in his re­ port to the Supreme court in the ouster suit, declared the International Har­ vester company, o f New Jersey, a trust and a combine for the purpose of destroying competition in the manu­ facture and sale of harvesting machin­ ery. The International Harvester com­ pany o f America is declared to be used merely as a selling agent by the New Jersey company. The subsidiary corporation, accord­ ing to Commissioner Brace, once had capital, but now has none. Its exist­ ence as a separate croporate entity is a mere fiction to evade the laws. The commissioner found that the McCormick Harvester company, the Deering Harvesteing Machine com­ pany, Warder, Bushnell, Glessner & Co., the Plano Manufacturing com­ pany, D. M. Osborne & Co., and the Milwaukee Harvesting Machine com­ pany, the latter being a respondent, were in active competition prior to 1902. In June, 1902, Cyrus H. McCor­ mick went to George W. Perkins, of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., o f New York, and sought his aid in relieving competitive conditions. According to the findings, Mr. Per­ kins Boon perfected a plan whereby the McCormick company and the other named companies, excepting the Mil­ waukee company, ostensibly sold their properties to William C., Lane. Lane, the commissioner found, pretended to sell them to the International Harves­ ter company. CLOSED SHOP LEGAL. Judge Refuses to Issue Injunction The Catholic bishop o f Detroit, Against Unions.

Pendleton — That thousands o f people w ho are not able to attend the first annual round-up w ill still be able to see what a w ild west show is like was assured when the Tournament Film Com pany, the largest m oving picture com pany doing business in Am erica, applied fo r and was granted the exclusive m oving picture concession fo r Pendleton’ s inaugural fron tier e x ­ hibition. The contract has just been signed by Mark Moorhouse, son o f M ajor Lee Moorhouse, o f Indian fame, representing the fro n ­ tier exhibition association, and H. E. Smith, president and general manager o f the film company. Moorhouse returned recently from Cheyenne, w here he had been to line up some o f the leading at­ tractions fo r the local show, and he carried, as a result, in his pocket a contract w h ich insures the ap­ pearance at the round-up o f Buf­ falo Vernon, the man w ho catches and throws a vicious steer w ith his hands and holds him down with his teeth.

The dredge has been at the governm ent m oor­ ings fo r several weeks, undergoing repairs p reparatory to taking up the w ork o f im provem ents on sev­ eral o f the tributaries o f the Colum ­ bia.

One small business that has not yet been swallowed up by the big ones is that of the small tailor who makes clothes for men and women and cleans, repairs and presses. There are hundreds of such tailors scattered in residence districts all over the city employing one, two or three hands, the New York Sun says, and there are plenty of such shops that yield their proprietors a good liv­ ing profit and maybe something more.
