"It is a rather ticklish situation," ad mitted Alan, "but even if we do get the loan on the property, don't you think "Wilson may delay matters and hope to scoop the property in for the debt?" "He might," Miller smiled, "if he didn't want to move that railroad somewhere else, and, besides, your fa ther can keep the money in suitable shape to pay off the note in any emer gency and free himself." "I don't know how to thank you, old man," answered Alan. "If you had been personally interested in this, you could not have done more." Miller threw himself back in his chair and smiled significantly. "Do I look like a man with nothing in it?" he asked. "But you haven't anything in it," re torted Alan wonderingly. "That's all you know about it," Mil ler laughed. "Ifs theanotheis road built., I'll Thi is story A "Twenty-five thousand! On that land?" soon as I saw you were right about putting a railroad into the mountains I began to look around for some of that timber land. I didn't have long to wait, for the only man that holds much of it besides Colonel Barclay Peter Mosely, whom Perkins fooled just as he did your fathercame in. He was laying for me. I saw it in his eye. The Lord had delivered him to me, and I was duly thankful. was a morsel I liked to look at. opened up himself, bless you, and bragged about his fine body of virgin timber. I looked bored, but let him run on till he was tired then I said: "Well, Mosely, what do you intend to do with your white elephant? You know it's not just the sort Barnum is looking for.' "He kind o' blinked at that, but he said: 'I've half a notion to sell. Th truth is, I've got the finest investment open to me that I ever had. If I could afford to wait a few years, I could coin money out of this property, but I belie\e in turning money quick.' 'So do I.' s:iid I, and watched him flirt about in the frying pan. Then I said,- 'What is the price you hold it at?' 'I thought,' said he, 'that I ought to get as much as I paid.' 'As much as you paid Abe Tomp kins and Perkins?' I safd, with a grin. 'Do .\ou think you could possibly sell a piece of land for as much as those sharks? If you can. you'd better go in the real estate business. You'd coin money. Why. they yanked two thou sand out of you. didn't they?' 'I don't really think Perkins had anything to do with it.' he said 'That's just a report out about old man Bish op's deal I bought my land on my own judgment.' 'Well.' I said, 'how will fifteen hun dred round wheels strike you?' "'I believe I'll take you up.' he said. 'I want to make that other investment.' So we closed, and I went at once to have the deed recorded before he had a chance to change his mind. Now, you see. I'm interested in the thing, and I'm going to help you put it through. If your folks want the loan, bring them in in the morning, and if can manage our Yankee just right we'll get the money." CHAPTER XV. FT ER supper that evening the Bishops sat out on the veran da to get the cool air before retiring. There was only one light burning in the house, and that was the little smoky lamp in the kitch en, where the cook was washing the dishes. Bishop sat near his wife, his coat off and vest unbuttoned, his chair tilted back against the weatherboard ing. Abner Daniel, who had been try ing ever since supper to cheer them up in regard to their financial misfortune, sat smoking in his favorite chair near the banisters, on top of which he now and then placed his stockinged feet. "You needn't talk that a-way, Broth er Ab," sighed Mrs. Bishop. "Yo're jest doin' it out o' goodness o' heart. We might as well face the truth. We've got to step down from the posi- 't1 't' 't "H* WILL N. HARBEN Author of "Wejlerfelt" Copyright, 1902. by HARPER. a BROS.. 5 Who Publish the Work In Book Form.

She was bent on comin' home, but 'er Uncle William won't let 'er. said she'd not do any good." "An' she wouldn't," put in Bishop gruffly. "The sight o' you an' Alan be fore me all the time is enough to show me what a fool I've been." "You are both crossin' bridges 'fore you git to 'em," said Abner. "A lots o' folks has come out'n scrapes wuss'n what you are in, ten to one. I ain't never mentioned it, but my land hain't got no mortgage on it, an' I could raise a few scads to he'p keep up yore in trust an' taxes till you could see yore way ahead." "Huh!" snorted his brother-in-law. "Do you reckon I'd let as old a man as you are, an' no blood kin, stake his little all to help me out of a hole that is gittin' deeper an' wider all the time a hole I deliberately got myse'f into? Well, not much!" "I wouldn't listen to that nuther," declared Mrs. Bishop, "but not many men would offer it." They heard a horse trotting down the road, and all bent their heads to listen. "It's Alan," said Abner. "I was thinkin' it was time he was showin' up." Mrs. Bishop rose wearily to order the cook to get his supper ready, and re turned to the veranda just as Alan was coming from the stable. He sat down on the steps, lashing the legs of his dusty trousers with his riding whip. It was plain that he had something of importance to say, and they all waited in impatient silence. "Father," he said, "I've had a talk with Rayburn Miller about your land. He aDd I have lately been working on a little idea of mine. You know there are people who will lend money on real estate. Ho would it suit you to bor row $25,000 on that land, giving that alone as security?" There was a startled silence, and Bishop broke it in a tone of great irri tation. "Do you take me fer a plumb fool?" he asked. "When I want you an' Mil ler to dabble in my business, I'll call on you. Twenty-five thousand, I say! If I could exchange every acre of it fer enough to lift the mortgage on this farm an' keep a roof over our heads. I'd do it gladly. Pshaw!" There was another silence, and then Alan began to explain. While he talked Mrs. Bishop sat like a figure cut from stone, and Bishop leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, his big face in his hands. It was as if a tornado of hope had blown over him, shaking him through and through. "You been doin' this to he'p me out," he gasped, "an' I never so much as axed yore opinion one way or another." "I'd rather see you make money out of that purchase than anything in the world," said his son. with feeling. "Supper's raidy, Marse Alan." 'People have mabje fun of you in your old age, but if we can build the road and you can get your hundred thou sand dollars some of these folks will laugh on the other side of their faces." Bishop was so full of excitement and emotion that he dared not trust his voice to utterance. leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes, pretending to be calm, though his alert wife saw that he was quivering in ev ery limb. "Oh. Alan." she cried, "don't you see how excited your pa is? You ought not to raise his hopes this way on such an uncertainty. As Mr. Miller said, there may be some slip, and we'd be right back where we was and feel wuss than ever." Bishop rose from his chair and be gan to walk to and fro on the veranda. |'It ain't possible," they heard him say ing. "I won't git out as easy as that I jest cayn't!" THE PRINCETON UNION:^HUBSDAY, AUOUST 27, 1903. "Perhaps It would be wrong to ex pect too much," said Alan, "but I was obliged to tell you what we are going in town for tomorrow." Bishop wheeled and paused before them. "Ef Wilson puts up the money, I'd have enough to lift the mortgage an' a clean $20,000 besides to put in some good investment." Aunt Maria, the colored cook, came out and timidly announced that Alan's supper was on the table, but no one heard her. She crossed the veranda and touched the young man on the shoulder. "Supper's raidy, Marse Alan," she said, "en it's gittin' col' ergin." He rose and followed her into the dining room and sat down in his ac customed place at the long table. When he had eaten, he went back to the group on the veranda. "I think I'll go up to bed," he told them. "My ride and running around at Darley have made me very tired. Father, get all your papers together and let's take an early start in the morning." CHAPTER XVI. S Henry, Aunt Maria's hus band, who was the chief farmhand, was busy patching fences the next morning, Bishop sent over for Pole Baker to drive the spring wagon. Alan sat be side Pole, and Abner and Bishop and Mrs. Bishop occupied the rear seats. Alan knew he could trust Pole, drunk or sober, and he confided his plans to the flattered fellow's ears. Pole seem ed to weigh all the chances for and against success in his mind as he sat listening, a most grave and portentous expression on his massive face. "My opinion is the feller '11 be thar as shore as preachin'," he said. "Bu whether you git his wa or notthat's another question. Miller's as sharp as a brier, an', as he says, if Wilson gits to talkin' about that land to any o' these hill Billies they'll bu'st the trade or die tryin'. Jest let 'em beer money's about to change hands, an' it 'II make 'em so durn jealous they'll swear a lie to keep it away from anybody they know. That's human natur'." "I believe you are right," said Alan, pulling a long face, "and I'm afraid Wilson will want to make some in quiries before he closes." "Like as not," opined the driver. "But what I'd do ef I was a-runnin' it would be to git some feller to strike up with 'im accidental-like an' liter'ly fill 'im to the neck with good things about the property without him ever dreamin' he was bein' worked." The two exchanged glances. Alan had never looked at a man so admir ingly. A that moment he seemed a giant of shrewdness as well as that of physical strength. "I believe you are right, Pole," he said thoughtfully. "That's what I am, an', what's more, I'm the one that could do the fillin' without him ever knowin' I had a fun nel in his mouth. If I can't do it, I'll fill my hat with saft mud an' put it on." Alan smiled warmly. "I'll mention it to Miller," he said. "Yes, you could do it, Pole, if any man on earth could." Driving up to Miller's office, they found the door open, and the owner came out with a warm smile of greet ing and aided Mrs. Bishop to alight. "Well," he smiled when they had taken seats in the office. "We have gained the first step toward victory. Wilson is at the hotel. I saw his name on the register this morning." The elder Bishops drew a breath of relief. Th old man grounded his heavy walking stick suddenly, as if it had slipped through his inert fingers. "I'm trustin' you boys to pull me through," he said, with a shaky laugh. "I hain't never treated Alan right, an' I'm heer to confess it. I 'lowed I was the only one in our layout with any business sense." "So you are willing to accept the loan?" said Miller. "Willin'? I reckon I am. I never slept one wink last night fer feer some'n' '11 interfere with it." Miller reflected a moment and then said: "I am afraid of only one thing, and that is this: Not one man in a million will make a trade of this size without corroborating the statements made by the people he is dealing with. Wilson is at breakfast by this time, and after he is through he may decide to nose around a little before coming to me. I'm afraid to go after him he would think I was overanxious. The trouble is that he may run upon somebody from out in the mountainsthere are a lot in town alreadyand get to talk ing. Just one word about your biting off more than you can chaw, Mr. Bishop, would make him balk like a mean mule. thinks I'm favoring him now, but let him get the notion that you haven't been holding that land for at least a hundred thousand and the thing would bu'st like a bub- ble." Alan mentioned Pole Baker's propo sition. Miller thought it over for a moment, his brow wrinkled, and then he said: "Gooda good idea, but you must call Pole in and let me give him a tew pointers. By George, he could keep Wilson away from dangerous people anyway." Alan went after Pole, and Miller took him into his consultation room in the rear, where they remained for about fifteen minutes. When they came out, Pole's face was very grave. "I won't forget a thing," he said to Miller. "I understand exactly what you want. When I git through with 'im. he'll Want that land bad enough to pay any thing fer it, an' he won't dream I'm in cahoot with you nuther. I can man age that. I ain't no fool ef I do have fits." "Do you remember my description of him?" asked Miller. "You bet I dothick set, about fifty, bald, red faced, sharp black eyes, iron gray hair, an' mighty nigh always with a cigar in his mouth." "That's right," laughed Miller. "Now i your work, and we won't forget you. By all means keep him away from meddlesome people." When Pole had left the office and Miller had resumed his revolving chair, Mrs. Bishop addressed him, looking Straight into his eyes. "I don't see," she said iu a timid, hesitating way and yet with a note of firmness dominating her tone"I don't see why we have to go through all this trickery to make the trade. Ef the land is good security fer the money, we needn't be afeerd of what the man will find out. Ef it ain't good secur ity, I don't want his money, as fer as I'm concerned." "I was jest thinkin' that, too," chimed in her husband, throwing a troubled glance all round. "I want money to help me out o' my scrape, but I don't want to trick no man, Yankee or what not, into totin' my loads. As Betsy says, it seems to me if the land's wuth the money we needn't make such a great to-do. I'm afeerd I won't feel exactly right about it." The young men exchanged alarmed glances. "You don't understand," said Miller lamely, but he seemed to be unprepared for views so heretical to financial deal ings, and could not finish what he had started to say. "Why," said Alan testily, "the land is worth all Wilson can make out of it with the aid of his capital and the rail road he proposes to lay here. Father, you have spent several years looking up the best timbered properties and getting good titles to it, and to a big lumber company a body of timber like you hold is no small thing. We don't want to cheat him, but we do want to keep him from trying to cheat us by getting the upper hand. Rayburn thinks if he finds out we are hard up he'll try to squeeze us to the lowest notch." "Well." sighed Mrs. Bishop, "I'm shore I never had no idea we'd resort to gittin' Pole Baker to tote anybody around like a hog after a yeer o' corn. I 'lowed Ave was goin' to make a open and shut trade that we could be proud of an' stop folks' mouths about Al fred's foolish dealin's. But"she look ed at Abner, who stood in the door way leading to the consultation room "I'll do whatever Brother Ab thinks is right. I never knowed 'im to take undue advantage of anybody." They all looked at Abner. who was smiling broadly. "Well, I say git his money," he re plied, with a short, impulsive laugh "git his money, and then, ef you find he's starvin', hand 'im back what you feel you don't need. I look on a thing like this sorter like I did on scramblin' fer the upper holt in wartimes. I re member I shot straight at a feller that was climbin' up the enemy's breast works on his all fours. I said to my se'f, 'Ef this ball strikes you right, old chap, 'fore j^ou drap over the bank, yo're one less agin the Confederacy ef it don't, you kin pop away at me.' I don't think I give 'im anything but a flesh wound in the back, beca'se he jest sagged down a little an' crawled on, an' that's about the wust you could do fer Wilson. I believe he ort to hold the bag awhile. Alf's hung on to it till his fingers ache an he's weak at the knees. I never did feel like thar was any harm in passin' a counterfeit bill that some other chap passed on me. Ef the government, with all its high paid help, cayn't keep crooked shin plasters from slidin' under our noses, it ortn't to kick agin our lookin' out fer ourse'ves." rT "You needn't lose any sleep about the Southern Land and Timber com pany, Mrs. Bishop," said Miller. "They will take care of themselves. In fact, we'll have to keep our eyes peeled to watch them even if we get this loan. Wilsou didn't come up here for hisinewspaper health." "Oh. mother's all right," said Alan, "and so is father, but they must not chip in with that sort of talk before Wilson." "Oh, no, you mustn't," said Miller. "In fact, I think you'd better let me and Alan do the talking. You see, if you sit perfectly quiet he'll think you are reluctant about giving such big security for such a small amount of money, and he will trade faster." "Oh, I'm perfectly willin' to keep quiet." agreed the old man. who now seemed better satisfied. Pole Baker left the office with long, swinging strides. There was an en trance to the Johnston House through a long corridor opening on the street, and into this Pole slouched. The hotel office was empty save for the clerk, who stood behind the counter looking over the letters in the pigeonholed key rack on the wall. There was a big gong overhead which was rung by pull ing a cord. I was used for announc ing meals and calling the porter. A big china bowl on the counter was filled with wooden toothpicks, and there was a showcase containing cigars. Pole glanced about cautiously without be ing noticed by the clerk and then with drew into the corridor, where he stood for several minutes listening. Present ly the dining room door opened, and Wilson strolled out and walked up to the counter. "What sort of cigars have you got?" he said to the clerk. "Nothing better than 10three for a quarter." was the respectful reply as the clerk recognized the man who had asked for the best room in the house. Wilson thrust his fingers into his vest pocket and drew out a cigar. "I guess I can make what I have last me," he said, transferring his glance to Pole Baker, who had. shambled across the room and leaned heavily over the open register. "Vant to buy any chickins fine fryin' si4eV" he asked the clerk. "Well, we are in the market." was the answer. "Where are they?" "I didn't fetch 'em in today," said Pole dryly. "I never do till I know what they are a-bringin'. You'd bet- ter make a bid on a dozen of 'em any way. They are the finest ever raised on Upper Holly creek, jest this side o' whar old man Bishop's lumber para dise begins." Pole was looking out of the corner of his eye at the stranger and saw his hand, which was in the act of striking a match, suddenly stay itself. "We don't bid on produce till we see it," said the clerk. "Well, I reckon no harm was done by my axin'," said Pole, who felt the eyes of the stranger on him. "Do you live near here?" asked Wil son, with a smile half of apology at addressing a stranger, even of Pole's humble stamp. "No." Pole laughed and waved his hand toward the mountains in theAnoka west, which were plainly discernible in the clear morning light. "No, I'm a mountain shanghai. I reckon it's fif teen mile on a bee line to my shack." "Did you say you lived near old Mr. Bishop's place?" asked Wilson, moving toward the open door which led to the veranda. TO BE CONTINUED.
