ough his labors,
and the great La Libertad restored to its reanimated stockholders.
Work of development had begun on the property, and Harris was again in
Colombia in charge of operations. The Express was booming, and the
rich man had consecrated himself to the carrying out of its clean
policies. The mills at Avon were running day and night; and in a new
location, far from the old-time "lungers' alley," long rows of little
cottages were going up for their employes. The lawyer Collins had been
removed, and Lewis Waite was to take his place within a week. Father
