"1 believe you!" said Pink, with a start as if he had been electrified. "Where's inv clip and pencil? I must get to work. You're a howler. Lady M aebeth." "You're a fine strung poet. Johnny Keats. Hani the barrel and table over this way. I want to know everything you put in that first page article." They consulted together, India start ing the theme. Pink produced decorat ed thoughts. She took out his ad jectives and reduced his sentences. Jo called for copy. India took it to him. and distributed locals before the other printer. "Don't you want to dress up your ad vertisements now while I set type for you?" she said to her younger brother, who at once washed his hands, ran them through dark curly hair like his sister's, and took his ruddy face away to pore sturdily over her desk. When the sun hung just above the horizon, casting long shadows east ward, India went home, stopping at one of the wooden groceries for pro visions. The whole town was com posed of yellow pine excrescences, from the first gigantic hotel to the tini est land office. As India approached her unfcnced house on a path which cut across hum mocks of wiry grass, she was looking forward, as the thrifty assistant wom an always does, to that time when the boys would run their firmly established paper alone, and she could devote her self to the residence, lined with pic tures, glittering with silver, full of comforts, which would take the place of this three-room nest. The prairie did not bound her ambitions. "Bnt wherever one stands," re marked India, opening the door, "the center of the earth is always exactly beneath him, and the center of the heavens exactly over his head." "Well-nurtured girls in various cit ies," said India to herself, "are now sitting down to dinner, and talking about next month's trip out of town. But the assistant oil the Rolling City Chronicle must light a fire and get the boys' supper, not neglecting to darn those last two pairs of socks while the people are gathering." bhe followed them back to the office about dusk. A rising sweetness was abroad, and the air so ciear that it cut out every object with sharp edges. The town herder was driving home the cows from their free pasture up the ridge. A freight-train far off on the western road trailed into sight, and p.. .'a of smoke on the northern horizon denoted some approach along that line. The prairie was like a mountain-pla teau in giving one a sense of nearness to the sky. The hemisphere of many shaded greens pressed sharply against the melting west. At tii« ofiica laUia hurried to finish whatever was beiiind on the week's is sue, while the rest of the establish ment set type. When the ten o'clock passenger whizzed by, their week's work was done. Jo and the foreman were printing off the papers. The rumble of the presses followed India and Pink downstairs. "Climbing upward in the night," she quoted, taking hold of his arm as they stumbled past stores where tho kerosene lamps were being put out. "I wonder if I shall turn out a mere monkey, agile in climbing'? I've al ways been undertaking, something. Pink, look at the constellations. Don't they seem ready to prick us, they are so near with their sharp points? What a grand thing it is to accomplish in this world! If we die to-night, our week's work is well done; it's always wise to be prepared for accidents." "But what does it amount to when it is done?" sniffed Pink. "That other man will run us out. I haven't any head for practical matters, India." "Your whimpering is passed over without notice. Did you ever think— practical matters are just like piano keys; if you don't touch them with knowledge, you make discords. We can't have a piano for about four years yet. But when we get home, I'll take down the banjo and plunk you a tune." "And if we suceeed in making a pa per here, what outlook does it give us?" "Honor, influence, home. A seat in the senate for you or Jo if you hit the popular need, and care for it. In time a trip to Europe. All the time, ex change of prods with other minds, and a chance to push what is good and pun ish what is mean. At summer resorts the well-nurtured young 1 lady may now be entering a grand hop, but I am go ing home with ink on my finger, and the assurance in my soul that in some vast future larger battles will be given me to fight, and I shall come off victor." Past midnight, however, the assist ant saw her former victories crumble before her eyes. Pink's shouting struck her through the ear like a dag ger. She crossed a great change while leaping over the side of her bed. The office was on fire, but Jo was not iu it, for Jo had waked Pink and run off to others for help. India passed through a nightmare of throwing clothing on, finding every thing inside out or upside down. She was running across the open prairie with her brother, the streets rang with cries of fire, and all the inhabitants of a town so slightly built turned out with terror. A crowd was already passing pails of water from hand to hand. It was too late to do anything but confine the fire, if possible, to the one crumbling block There was at the time no wind, and the pails were made to do vigorous duty. In went the roof, sending up a constellatiou which put out half the stars. "This is too bad, sis, ain't it now?" said a human voice through the tumult to India's ears. Mr. Boncbrake, the stock farmer, was there, his whip in hand ready for driving home. "I was settin' up with hogs to ship to-night!" he shouted, "and was one of the first to see the fire. It bu'stout all at once full blaze.'' "I'm afraid you won't get your paper to-morrow," saifl India. "Pshaw! You'll lose consider'ble, won't you?" "Burning up there is all that my brothers and I have except a little cheap furniture. There goes what I have worked for since we were left alone in the world." "Pshaw! No insurance?" "We were to insure the latter part of this week. Every dollar was needed before. But I would like," said the assistant, shaking her finfcrer at the Sre, "to get the better of that!" "Pshaw!" groaned Mr. Bonebrake, with full western sympathy. "My brothers," said India, feeling licr heart swell iu proportion to the ca lamity, "will take that old tire for a mere candle, though, to light them on the road. And I'll help!" "What'll you do now?" "We'll have to g»t presses so me way. i and start the paper again." "Oot any backers?"' "No." "Yes, yon have,"-said Mr. Bonebrake, rising also to the occasion. He pushed through the crowd abrnptly, and got upon a high platform in front of one of the stores. In the midst of the roar of fire and human lungs, he begau to 4 shout a speech, saying he did not in tend to do so, but pluck was pluck. He was burnt ont once himself, and had a tornado tear him down another time. And these yonng people was bound to make it go; they hail the rattlesnake killin' grit into 'em, and who'd stand by to give them another start? When people understood what he was talking about, they began to con sult among themselves. The banker leaped upon the platform. He was a man of few words, but remarked that the Chronicle was an institution of the town, and for his part he would not have it destroyed; he would head a paper at the bank in the morning. Mr. Bonebrake shouted to him to head it now, and the banker took out hi» note-book and did so. Israel Bonebrake adding his name and his hundreds with an eager hand. Somebody eaUed out that a new man had come, well heeled to 6tart another paper: but t'ae popular voice replied: "Throw him in the fire!" Other well-to-do citizeas sprang upon the platform, and put their names and contributions upon the paper. There was a crowd raging to contribute. The public-spirited enthusiasm was so great that cheer after cheer for the Chronicle arose, while the fire which had de stroyed its outward presence among them was sinking. The editor. Pink Bradshaw, was called upon for a speech and lifted to the platform. He had but one boot on, but, brimming to the lips with such appreciation of his townspeople as made a maturer man of . him, he spoke straight out of his poetic heart to the hearts bearing him up in calamity, and made what they pro nounced a "rattling good talk." Then his brother was put up beside him; 1 and Israel Bonebrake shouted for the sister, who, to avoid good-natured vio- j lence. slipped up behind the boys, put her hands on their shoulders and looked from the background between their heads. A trio of representative young Americans. "There they stand," shouted Mr. | Bonebrake, "as peart and gritty as | any bunch of yearlio's I ever sec, and here we'll stand by them. They've got to have a good office and one o* them big, fine printin'-presses. They'll be a credit to this town, for these here boys j are as full of go-ahead as a perrara-hen is of tricks.
