"Well. I dun
no: I hero are
Ftirh plaees. but they're always snapped
up 'fnit you can nay Jac k lioMnson."
'Well. I'm Kolns to Rlv: It a Rood
try." the young fellow said hravely.
'That's rlKht. If 1 was you I'd go
ut uuil see some of those reel estr. '
feller.; they most always know win ';
KoillK on."
"Thill's a good Idea, much ollit;c!.
I'll tackle 'eni at once."
The next forenoon he made his Hist
Attempt. He had determined on his
speech, and he went Into Hie lltst otlice
vlth his yimi; on his lis.
"1 in looklnif for a place on a dairy
farm; I've had live years' practical ex
perience, and am a graduate of
Agricultural college. I'm after the po
sition of bookkeeper and foreman."
The man looked tit bis gravely
You're aiming pretty high, young fel
ler, for this couutr). There are plenty
of i bailees to work, punching cattle, but
1 don't think chances are good for u
foreman's place."
He was a kindly niali. and repented
when he saw how young Ramsey's face
fell. "However. I'll give you some
names of people who hire."
Following these clews Kamsey made
long wallts Into the coiintr). tolling
from ranch to ranch over the dun-colored,
louelv hills
He was returning late one afternoon
from one of these fruitless journeys.
It was one of those strange days that
coim In all Seasons at that altitude
The air was full of suspended mist -it
did not ruin, the road was almost dry
under foot and yet this all pervuMv-
moisture, tn'i-in-'il soaking everything.
It was a cloud, for this whole land was
a mountain top
He rat down upon a little hammock
to rest, lor bis fret ached with the long
Stretches of hilly road The larks cried
to him out of the mist, with their pierc
ing, sweet notes, cheerful and undaunt
ed ever. There was a sudden lighting
up of the day. as if the lark s song bad
uhot the mist with silver light.
' As he rose and started on with pain
ful slowness, he heard the sound of
horses' hoofs behind htm. and a man In
a yellow cart, came out of ihe gray ol
escurily. -
' Arthur stopped nsiue to let him pass,
bill he could not help limping a little
inort markedly as the man looked at
him.' Tlie man seemed In understand.
"Will you ride?" he asked.
Arthur glanced at him nnd nodded
without speaking. The stranger was it
flue-looking man, with a military cut
of beard getting gray. His face was
ruddy and smiling.
"Thank you. I am rather tired,"
Arthur said, as he settled Into tin seat.
"I guess I'll have to own up, I'm about
played out."
I thought you looKeu looi-sore. i in
enouph of n western man to leel mean
when I puss a man on the road. A foot
man can get very tired on these
stretches of ours."
"I've tramped about 40 miles today.
I guess. I'm trying to lind some work
to do." he added In uesperate couli
dence. "is that so? What kind of work'.'"
'Vell, I wanted to get a place as fore
man on a ranch."
Tin afraid that's too much to ex
pect." '
Arthur sighed. "Yes, I suppose it Is.
If I'd known as much two weeks ugo
us' I do now. I wouldn't be here."
,-Oh, don't get discouraged, there's
plenty of work to do. I can give you
something to do on my ranch."
"Well, I've come to the conclusion
that there Is-nothing here for me but
the place of a common hand, so if you
can give me anything"
"Oh, yes; I can give you something
to An In my garden. Perhaps something
better will open up later. Where are
you staying'.'" he asked, as they n eared
town.
Arthur told him, and the man drove
hlin down to his hotel. "I'd like to have
you call at my olllce tomorrow morn
ing; my partner does most of the hiring.
I've- been living in Denver. Here's my
card."
After he had drove awny the listening
landlord broke forth: "You're In luck.
Cap. If yoir get a place with .MaJ.
Thayer, you're fixed."
"Who Is he, anyhow?"
"Who is he? Why he nwne nil the
land nj the creek, and has banks all
over Colorado."
"la that so?" . Arthur was delighted.
Of course it was only a common hund's
place, but here was the vista he had
looked for here was the chance!
When he entered the olllce next day,
however, the major merely nodded at
hlin over the railing and said: "Take a
seat, please." -
He seemed deer.lv
a tall young man of about 35 years of
aire, with a rugged, smooth-shaven face
The .young man spoke with a marked

laughed Saullsbury." V'e are not a poor

turn Jackson off. even for you."
"Well deon't do it Mien only If he
gets drunk agine and drops a match
into the milk can. fancy! and blows us
all up, doen't come back on me, that's

They both laughed nt this, and the
major said: "This is the young man I
told you about, Mr. r. "
"liamsey is my name," said Arthur,
rising.
"Mr. Ramsey, this is my partner. Sir.
Saullsbury."
"How de do." said Saulisbury, with a
nod and a glance, which made Arthur
hot with wrath, coming as it did after
the talk Me had heard. Saullsbury did
not take the trouble to rise.
Arthur wns not thick-skinned, and
he had been struck for the first time by
the lash of caste, nnd It raised a welt.
He ihoked with his rape and stood
silent. whlleSaulisbury looked him over.

nnd passed upon his good points ns if
he wen a horse. There was something
in the lazy lift of his eyebrows which
maiideiieil Arthur.
"He looks a decent

Willi cool In-
ill 'Terence.
"Hy heaven, you won't!" Arthur
burst out. "I wouldn't work for you ut
any price." lie turned on his heel and
rusheil out.
He heard the major (ailing to him as
he went down the stairs, but refused to
turn back. The tears of Impotent rage
Slled his eyes. For tin lirst time In his
life he had been tninipled upon ami
could not, at least, he had not. struck
bis assailant.
As lie stood on the street corner
thinking of these things, and waiting
for the mist of rage to pass from his
eyes, he felt u baud on his arm, nnd
turned lo see Major Thayer standing
by bis side.
"Look here, Itanisey, you mustn't
mind Sum; he's an infernal Knglish
niiin, and can't understand our way of
meeting men. He didn't meun any
thing." Arthur looked down at him silently
und-there was u look in his eyes which
went straight to the major's heart
"Cnnie, Hamsey. I want to give von
a place. Never mind this You will
really be working fur me, anyhow."
Sauli.shury himself came down the
stairs and approached them, and Ar
thus perceived for the lirst time that
his eyes were, blue and viVy good-natured
"I hope I haven't done any
thing unpardonable." he began with
his absent, rising rellertion.
Arthur llared up again: "I wouldn't
work for a man like you if I starved.
I'm no dog. 'You'll find an American
citizen won't knuckle down to you, tin
way your Kngllsh peasants do. If you
think you can come out here In the west
and Ireat men like dogs, you'll find
yourself mightily mistaken, that's all!"
The men exchanged glances. This
volcanic outburst amazed rfaullsbury,
but the major enjoyed It. It was ex
cellent schooling for his friend.
"Well, work for me. Mr. ltamspy.
Sam knuckles down to me on most
questions. 1 hope 1 know how to treat
my men. I'm trying to live up to tra
dition, anyway."
"You'll admit it is a tradition," says
Saullsbury. glad of a chance to sidle
away, lie cared nothing for the youth,
but fiit something was due his partner.
The major laughed.
"Now get into my rait, and we'll go
out to the farm nnd look things over,"
he said, and Arthur clambered in.
"1 can't blame you very much." thp
major continued after they were well
"Yon'ro l.iko Our Own folks Rack in
Illinois."
settled. ' I've ben trying lately to get j
into narmomous relations witn my em
ployes, and I think I'm succeeding. I
have a father and grandfather in shirt
sleeves to start from and to refer back
to, but Saullsbury hasn't. He means
well, but he can't always hold himself
In; he means to be democratic, but his
blood betrays him."
Arthur soon lost the keen edge of his
grievance under the kindly chat of the
major.
The fnrm lay on either side of a small
stream which ran among the buttes
and green mesas of the foot hills. Out
to the left, the kingly peak looked be
nlgnantly across the lesser heights that
thrust their ambitious heads In the
light. Cattle were feeding among the
smooth, straw-colored or sage-green
hills. A cluster of farm buildings stood
against an abrupt, cedar-splotched
bluff, out of which a stream flowed and
shortly fell into a large basin.
The irrigation ditch pleased and In
terested Arthur, for It was the finest
piece of work he had yet seen. It ran
around the edge' of the valley, dis
charging at Its gates streams of tynter
like veins. - which meshed the land,
whereon men were working among
young plants.
"I'll put you In charge of a team, I
think," the major said, after talking
with the foreman, a big, red-haired
III
aJMP
man. who looked at Arthur with hut
head thrown back and one eye shut.
"Well, now you're safe," said the
major, as he got Into his buggy, "so I'll
leave you."
Arthur knew and liked the foreman'8
faintly at mice. They were familiar
types. At supper lie told them of his
plans, and how he came to be out there,
nnd they came to feel a certain proprie
torship in him at once.
"Well, I'm glud you've come," salii
Mrs. Klchards. after their acquaint
anceship hnd followed In a day or two.
"You're like our own folks back In Il
linois "
Arthur winced a little at being classed
In 1th her folks, and changed the sub
ject. One Sr.nday, a couple of weeks later.
Just as he was putting on. his old
clothes to go out and do his evening's
chore? the major and a party of visit
ores came driving Into the yard. Ar
thur came out to the carriage, a little
annoyed that these city people should
not have come when he had on his Sun
day clothes.
The major greeted him pleasantly.
"Good-evening, Itamsey. Just hitch
the horses, will you? I want to show
the ladies nlx.ui a little."
Arthur tied the horses to a post, and
came back toward the major expecting
him to Introduce the Indies, but the
major did not. and Mrs. Thayer did not
wait for an introduction, but said, with
a peculiar, well-worn inflection:
"Kamsey, I wish you'd stand between
me nnd the horses. I'm as afraid us
death of horses and cows."
The rest laughed in musical uproar,
but Arthur Hushed hot. It was the
tone Knglish people In plays nnd stories
used In speaking to their butler, or
coachman.
He helped her down, however, with
a sullen uir, for his rebellious heart
seemed to till his throat.
The party moved ahead In a cloud
of laughter. The ladies were dainty as
spring Mowers. In their light, outdoor
dresses, and they seemed to light up
the barnyard.
One of them made the most powerful
Impression upon Arthur. She was so
dainty and so bird-like. Her dress wns
quaint, with puffed sleeves, and bands
and edges of light green, like an April
flower. Her narrow face was as swift
as light In Its volatile changes, nnd her
little chin dipped occasionally Into the
deep of her ru filed bosom like a swal
low into water. Kvery movement she
made wns strange nnd sweet to see.
She cried out In admiration of every
thing ami clapped her slender hands
like a wondering child. The others
seemed to laugh every time they looked
nt her. she was so entirely carried away
by the strangeness of the farm.
She nclinlred the cows and the colts
very much, but shivered prettily when
the bull thrust his yellow and black
inuzxle through the little window of his
cell.
"The horrid thing' Isn't he sav
age?"
"Not at all. lie wants some meal,
that's all." said the maje.'.
The young girl skipped and dunced
and shook her perfumed dress ns a
swallow her wings. She was not vain,
It was natural In her. Arthur looked
at her with deep admiration and de
light, though Mrs. Saullsbury was
talking to him.
He liked Mrs. Salisbury nt once,
though naturally prejudiced against
her. She had evidently been a very
handsome woman, but souv concealed
pain had made her face thin and drawn
mid one corner of hei mouth was set
In a sight fold as if by u touch of paraly
sis, ller profile was very beautiful,
and her voice was that of u highly cul
tivated American.
She seemed to be interested In Ar
thur, and she asked hlin a few ques
tions, and all her questions were Intel
ligent. Saulisbury amused himself by Joking
tin girl, whom lie called Kditli.
"This Is the cow that gives the cream,
y' kneow, and this one Is the butter
milk cow," he said, as they stood look
ing in at the burn door.
Kdith tipped her eager little face up
ut him. "Iteally?"
The rest laughed again.
"Which is tin lee cream, cow?" the
young Rill asked, to let them know that
she was not to tie fooled with. Snulls
bury appealed to the major. ".Vlajah.
what have you done with our Ice cream
cow?"
"She went dry during the 'winter."
said Hie major. "No demand on her;
supply regulated' hy the demand,' you
know."
They drifted Into the. horse barn.
"We're In Kamsey's domain now," said
the liinjur, looking ut Arthur, who
stood with his hand on the hip of one
of the big gray horses.
Kdith tinned nnd observed Arthur
for the first time. A slight -shock went
through her sensitive nature, as if some
faint prophecy of great storms came to
her in the widening gaze of his dark
eyes.

Kvery space was filled, the galleries were

classes gathered to hear a brilliant Jour

southerner, who fought on the side of the
Confederacy, apeak of Abraham Lincoln.
Over the railing of the choir gallery hung
a silk flag, having above it the legend:
"We meet tonight under the spell of a
great name. The mystic chords of mem
ory are touched by the better angels of our
nature." When at 8.1S the rpeuker of the
evening appeared, accompanied by C. H.
Thomas, who Introduced him, there was
a burst of applause that swept from the
most distant chair In the gallery to the
foremost pew. As Mr. Watterson looked
down upon the faces of the citizens of
Denver, the demonstration ceased and the
throng waited in absolute stillness for th"
first words of the great journalist. Wan I

In yesterday's issue some facta In
Colonel Watterson's eventful life were

ones: When the elder Watterson's
term In congreiss expired he assumed
control of the Washington I'nlon, which
he conducted from 150 to IK55, and It
was there during his vacations that
Henry 'Waterson obtained his first
practical knowledge of newspaper work.
In October. 18."iH, Henry Watterson tuv
