•..,..- - .... I tag at a portable Btove. Some tethered cows and sheep and a stock of canned eatables m a box wagon showed how lit tle dependence for food was placed on the route. This movable encampment had been located for tho night, and tho sun had already stuik into the distant edge of rank grass. Not a sign of culti vation or permanent habitation was m sight, and tho nnfenced roadway was no more than a wide abrasion m the prairie, where the "boomers" had dragged their way toward the land of vague promise. This waa the nineteenth nightly place of stop, and therefore was called Camp Nineteen. The last one had been named Eighteen and the next would be Camp Twenty. Half a hundred men were erecting poles a short distance further along, hut the wire had not been carried beyond the spot where the night camp was fixed, and there the only person besides , 1 the busy cooks immediately discernible when the pedestrians arrived was a young man busy at a telegraphio instru i ment. A tripod made the legs of a»»mall table, and on it was the apparatus for sending and receiving messages over the wire, whioh was brought down from the | last pole to which it had been adjusted. | The operator's name was "William Brown, and it goes far toward describing him to tell that m the rough and impolite com pany of telegraph constructors he was j called Will Brown and not Bill Brown. No doubt some of this consideration; on the part of men given to hard nicknam ing was due to young Brown being the electrician of the expedition, qrnd there fore a scientific mystery to most of them-, bnt more than that, his unvarying guavity of manner, modesty of speech and oareful retention of eastern deport ment characterized him so markedly aa to make "Bill" a misnomer and "Will" appropriate. "Look, dad," the dusty girl whispered to her companion as her eyes fell on Will Brown; "we haven't seen a thing like that since we quit railroad traoks and took to footprints. Isn't he pretty?" "He glads my eyes, daughter —he glads my very gaze," the man returned, eying the busy operator, who had not yet seen them." The cause of the weary traveler's glad ness was understood by the girl when she saw him advance with an enlivened stride, and heard him say briskly: "Ah, a telegraph station, eh? That is fortu nate. Is this a money order office, my young friend? I would like to send A message to Fort Smith at once for a transfer of funds." Will Brown straightened from his bent posttire over the instrument, looked at the exaggerated dignity of the inquirer with a twinkle of merriment m his honest blue eyes, and urbanely replied: "This isn't a money order station} it isn't any sort of station; it's just the temporary end of the line and doesn't take any busi ness." "Oh, don't say that— pray don't say that," and the disappointment of the ap plicant looked like genuine anguish. "I shall be distressed — we shall be dis tressed—daughter and I— if we can't get a remittance by wire." Will Brown's eyes turned to the girl, and saw m her face as woebegone an expression as she could command without hurting her prettiness. After a pause, to let the young man appreciate the comeliness of the maiden m spite, of her bad attire, the father continued: "We have walked six miles this afternoon and intended to go aa far as Wealth City." "Wealth City?" came m a guttural voice from the center of a clump of low bushes, and then a red face, fringed with whiskers from one side of a straw hat brim around to the other, and stub bled over with an unshaven week's beard, lifted into view. "What 'n t-h-u-n-der's Wealth City?" the grim voice demanded, spelling out the first syllable phonetically, with heavy em phasis on each letter and an equal stress on the rest of the word. The rise of this individual was so much like that of a jack-in-a-box carica ture that the girl exclaimed, like a sur prised child, "Oh, that's funnyl" and one of her feet leaped clear of the ground m a little caper of merriment. The ob ject of her glee displayed no resentment. He was amiably drunk and disposed to gratify, with all particulars about him self, the curiosity which he had aroused. "My name's Old Jugg Brown," he sen tentiously said, addressing himself di rectly to the girl, and speaking as a hu man exhibit m a museum might m lec turing on itself. "I was born Brown, and now they call me Old Jugg because I'm such an almighty hard drinker. Yes; I'm Old Jugg Brown, and this young gentleman is my son. I'm proud of my son, and he ain't proud of me. He's a ref ormin' me, Will is, but I got hold of a bottle o' whisky, and I've been drinkin' here m the brush." He told this as something that had casually happened to him, something re gretable, and yet nothing that he could have been expected to prevent. He held up the half emptied bottle and swayed with it to and fro until the son took it from him and smashed it on a stone. He regarded this summary action apathet ically until the aroma of < tjie spilled whisky reached his nose, and then he sniffed feebly, his bland smile changed to a grotesque pout, and he sank slowly i down into the bushes as though an in ' visible hand was shutting him down into his box. "I was saying that we meant to get to Wealth City before night," the strutting stranger resumed. "We understand that • Wealth City is a new name for a sudden 1 plaoe — the name about a day old, and the place something like a week. I will not conceal the fact that we aarme — m a [ sense— well, call us fortune seekers, and we haven't yet found it. May be it is m Oklahoma, and what we wish is to get there. At this moment," and here he Bnapped a thumb and finger of each hand airily, "we are tired, we are hun gry and we are penniless." Will Brown was not unaccustomed to wandering adventurers m a similar' plight, and he would have repulsed this man, doing it not the less decidedly be cause politely; but at that instant the girl settled to the ground, very limp and prone, but failing into far too graceful a

A WELL-KNOWN CYCLIST Regains Health and Strength by the Use of the Great Biood-Purifier and Tonic, Ayer's Sarsaparilla. He Sends his. Portrait, and Writes as Follows: Gentlemen: Being a racing cyclist and consequently having to go through a severe bodily test m way of training I was, after a long term of constant practice, entirely run down, and had decided to abandon the track for awhile, but having heard a great deal as to the blood-purifying and strengthening qualities of Ayer's Sarsaparilla I determined to give it a trial. I am glad to say that I have been greatly benefited by the medicine, so much so that I am again able to go on the bicycle track, and can recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla to anyone suffering from loss of strength and weakness of the system.
