(Continued from last week.)
Contrary to Mr. Darrah's expressed
toope, Winton submitted quietly. With
a word to his men—a word that

suddenly as it had begun—he <

Side at the heels of the marshal.
For some reason that she ciild u ver
Slave set out in words Virginia w ,
(distinctly disappointed. it was m.
[part of her desire to see the conflict
Sblaze up in violence, but it no:' .q jier
Ito see Winton give up so easily, s , ,0
euch thought, as this had possess;. n , [
ther while the marshal and his prisoner
(were picking their way across the ice
land she was noping that Winton would’
(give her a chance to requite him if
(only with a look.
But it was Town Marshal Peter Big
|gin, affectionately known to his con
ptituents as “Bigginjin Pete,” who
(gave her the coveted opportunity, in
stead of dlisappearing decently with
this captive, the marshal made the
(mistake of his life by marching Win
iton up the track to the private car
■thrusting him forward and saying:’
“'Here’s yer meat, Guv'nor. What-all
'ud ye like fer me to do with hir?"
Now it is safe to assume that the
'Rajah had no intention of appearing
Ithus openly as the instigator of Win
rton's arrest. Hence, if a fierce scowl
.and a wordless oath could maim, it is
to be feared that the overzealous Mr.1
'Biggin would have been physically
disqualified on the spot. As it was. :
aMr. Darrah’s ehullient wrath could find
no adequate speech forms, and in the
■eloquent little pause Winton had time1
to smile tin at Miss Carteret and to!
wish her the pleasantest of good
mornings.
But the Rajah’s handicap was not
permanent.
Confound you, seh!” he exploded.
"'I'm no^t a justice of the peace. If
you've made an arrest, you must have
had a warrant lor it, and you ought
:to know what to do with your pris
©neh.”
1 m dashed if I do,” objected the
■simple-hearted Mr. Biggin. "I al
lowed you wanted him.”
Minton laughed openly.
“Simplify it for him, Mr. Darrah. !,

rhe Rajah waved a shapely hand
towaius the opposite embankment,
here the track layers were idling in
silent groups waiting for some one in
authority to tell them what to do.
We can do that every day, Mistch
\\ mtcm. And each separate individual
ui i <-st will cost your company 12
hours, or such a matteh—the time re
quired for you to go to Carbonate to
gr-e bond for your appearance.”*
During this colloquy Virginia ha*
held her ground stubbornly, this
though she felt intuitively that it
would be the great^>ff?>ssible relief
to the three men if she would go away.
But now a curious struggle as of V
divided allegiance was holding her.
Of course, site wanted Mr. Somerville
Darrah to win. Since he was its ad
vocate, his cause must be righteous
and just. But as against this dutiful
convincement there was a rebellious
hope that Winton would not allow
himself to be beaten; or, rather, it was
a feeling that stm would never for
give him if she should.
So it was that she stood with face
averted lest he should see her eyes
and read the rebellious hope in them.
And notwithstanding the precaution
he both saw and ijpad, and made an
swer to the Rajah’s ultimatum accord
ingly.
“Do your worst, Mr. Darrah. We
have some 20 miles of steel to lay to
take us into the Carbonate yards.
That steel shall go down in spite of
anything you can do to prevent it.”
\ irgiuia waited breathless for her
uncle’s reply to this cool defiance.
Contrary to all preceuent, it was mild
ly expjstulatory.
"It grieves me, seh, to find you so
determined to cWt failure,” he began;
mid when the whistle or the upcoming
Carbonate train gave him leave to go
on: “Constable, you will find trans
j po tation for yourself and one in the
hands of the station agent. Misteh
\V iutou, that is your train. I wish you
good morning and a pleasant journey.
Come, Virginia, we shall be late to ouh
breakfast.”
Winton walked back to the station
at the heels of his captor, cudgelling 1
his brain to devise some means of get
ting word to Adams'. Happily the
technologian, who had been unloading
steel at the construction - camp, had >
been told of the arrest, -and when 1
Winton reached the station he found
his assistant waiting for him.
But now the train was at hand and 1
time had grown suddenly precious.
Winton turned short upon the marshal. 1
“This is not a criminal matter, Mr. 1
Biggin; will you give me a moment
with my friend?” ; (
The ex-cowboy grinned. “Bet your
life I will. I ain't lovin' that old
b’iler-buster in the private car none 1
too hard.” And he went in to get the ;
passes.
"What’s up?” cpieried Adams, forget- ’
ting his drawl for once in a way.
"An arrest—trumped-up charge of '
trespass on that mining claim up yon- *
der. But I’ve got to go to Carbonate
to answer the charge and give bonds, !
just the same.” *
“Any instructions?”
“Yes. When the train is out of sight
and hearing, you get. back over there -
and drive that track laying for every
foot there is in it.”
Adams nodded. “I’ll do it, and get
myself locked up, I suppose.”
“No, you won’t; that’s the beauty of
it. The majesty of the law—all there
is of it in Argentine—goes with me to
Carbonate in the person of the town
marshal.”
"Oh, good—succulently good! Well,
so long. I’ll look for you back on the
evening train?" i
“Sure; if the Rajah doesn’t order it i |
to be abandoned on my poor account.”
Ten minutes later, when the train
had gone storming on its way to Car
bonate and the Rosemary party was at
breakfast, the clank of steel and the
chanteys of the hammermen on the
other side of the canyon began again
with renewed vigor. The Rajah threw j
up his head like a war horse scent- |
ing the battle front afar and laid his
commands upon the long-suffering J
secretary.
"I'aveh me, Jastrow. Get out then
and see what they are doing, seh.”
J he secretary was bach in the short
est Possible interval, and his repori
was concise and business-like.
'A ork under full headway again, it
charge of a tellow who wears a billy
cock hat and smokes cigarettes.”
“Mr. Mort n P. Adams,” said Vir
ginia, recognizing the description
“Will you have him arrested too, UncR
Somerville?”
P>ur the Rajah rose nastily withoul
replying and went to his office state
room, followed, shadow-like, by the
obsequious Jastrow.
It was some little time after break
fast, and Virginia and the Reverend
Billy were doing a constitutional on
the plank platform at the station,
when the secretary came down from
the car on his way to the telegraph
office.
If was Virginia who stopped him.
“What do we do next, Mr.- Jastrow?’1
she said—“call in the United States
army?”
For reply he handed her a telegram,
damp from the copying press. It wai
addressed to the superintendent of the
U. & Ci. R. at. Carbonate, and she read
it without scruple.
Have the sheriff of TTte county swear
n a dozen deputies and come with them
by special train to Argentine. Revive all
possible titles to abandoned mining claims
on line of the Utah Extension, and have
Sheriff Deckert bring blank warrants to
cover any emergency.
“DARRAH, V. P.”
I hat’s one of them,” said the sec
retary. “I daren’t show you the other.”
Oh, please!” she said, holding out
her hand, while the Reverend Billy
considerately turned his back.
Jastrow weighed the chances of de
tection. It was little enough he could
do to lay her under obligations to him,
and he was willing to do that little
as he could. “I guess I can trust you,”
he said, and gave her the second
square of press-damp paper.
Like the first, it was addressed to
the superintendent at Carbonate. But
this time the brown eyes flashed and
her breath came quickly as she read
the vice president’s cold-blooded after
thought:
“Town Marshal Biggin will arrive in
Carbonate on No. 201 this a. m. with a
prisoner. Have our attorneys see to it
that the man is promptly tailed in de
fault of bond. If he is set at liberty, as
he is likely to be, 1 shall trust you to ar
range for his rearrest and detention at all
hazards.

CHAPTER V.
Virginia took the first step in the
perilous path of the strategist when
she handed the incendiary telegram
back to Jastrow.
“Poor Mr. Winton!” she said, with
the real sympathy in the words made
most obviously perfunctory by the
tone. “What a world of possibilities
there is masquerading boiiind that lit
tle word ‘arrange.’ Tell me more
about it, Mr. Jastrow. How will they
‘arrange’ it?”
“Winton’s rearrest? Nothing easier
in a tougn mining camp like Carbon
ate, I should say.”
“Yes, but how?”
“I can’t prophesy how Grafton will
go about it, but 1 know what I should
do.”
Virginia’s smilp was irresistible, but
there was a look in the deepest depth
:>f the brown eyes that was sifting Mr.
Arthur Jastrow to the innermost sand
heap of his desert nature.
"How would you do it, Mr. Napoleon
Jastrow?” she asked, giving him the
sxact fillip on the side of gratified van
ity.
“Oh, I’d fix him. He is in a frame
3f mind right now; and by the time
the lawyers are through drilling him
in the trespass affair, he’ll be just
spoiling for a row with somebody.”
“Do you think so? Oh, how deli
nous! And then what?”
“Then I’d hire some plug-ugly to
stumble up against him and pick a
luarrel with him. He’d do the rest—
tnd land in the lockup.” ’
Those who knew her best said it
ivas a warning to be heeded in Miss
Virginia Carteret when her eyes were
iowncast and her voice sank to its
softest cadence.
“Why, certainly; how simple!” she
said, taking her cousin’s arm again;
ind the secretary went in to set. the
vires at work in Winton’s affair.

The engraving shows a pile of stor

the top one* which is empty, the bet

engraving is a little faulty in that the

point wjiere a mistake is likely to be
made being the making of them of un
seasoned lumber, so that thi side
pieces, when they shrink, are less than
the height of the section. I pile these
crates up, even when full of honey, as
high as I can reach; and it is neces
sary that this weight should nor come j
directly on the sections. In oiling up
sections that are to stay any length
of time in the crates, always lay a
piece of paper over each one, which
makes it practically dust-proof, es- |
pecially if the paper is long enough to
extend down over the ends of the
crates.
Pile your honey in a hot, dry place,
cautions the editor of Gleanings in
Bee Culture. If there is any sus- \
picion of coolness or dampness about i
it, do not put the honey near the floor
or in a corner. Have it at least a foot
from the floor, and where the air can
circulate freely all around it.
