Teon."B Though great dsptehi e ?Black *0 o ck3I ?4 By RALPH CONNOR [cONTINUED.J with Abe, to "get back at 'em." We had no difficulty getting them out. Abe began to yell. Some men rushed out to learn the cause. He seized the foremost man, making a hideous up roar all the while, and in three minutes had every man out of the hotel and a lively row going on. In two minutes more Graeme and I had the door of the ballroom locked and barricaded with empty casks. We then closed the door of the barroom leading to the outside. The barroom was a strongly built log shack, with a heavy door secured, after the manner of the earl cabins, with two strong oak bars, so hat we felt safe from at tack from that quarter. The ballroom we could not hold long, for the door was slight and entrance was possible through the window. But as only a few casks of liquor were left there our main work would be in the bar, so that the fight would be to hold the passageway. This we barricaded with casks and tables. But by this time the crowd had begun to realize what had happened and- were wildly yelling at door and windows. With an ax which Graeme had brought with him the casks were soon stove in and left to empty themselves. As I was about to empty the last cask Graeme stopped me, saying: "Let that stand here. It will help us." And so it did. "Now skip for the barri cadet" yelled Graeme as a man came crashing through the window. But be fore he could regain his feet Graeme had seized him and flung him out upon the heads of the crowd outside. But through the other windows men were coming in, and Graeme rushed for the barricade, followed by two of the ene my, the foremost of whom I received at the top and hurled back upon the others. "Now be quick!" said Graeme. "I'll hold this. Don't break any bottles on the floor. Throw them out there," pointing to a little window high up in the wall. I made all haste. The casks did not take much time, and soon the whisky and beer were flowing over the floor. It made me think of Geordie's regret over the "sinfu' waste." The bottles took longer, and, glancing up now and then, I saw that Graeme was being hard pressed. Men would leap, two ind three at a time, upon the barricade, and Graeme's arms would shoot out, and over they would topple upon the eads of those nearest. It was a great. sight to see him standing alone, with a smile on his face and the light of bat te in his eye, coolly meeting his as sailants with those terrific, lightning like blows. In fifteen minutes my work was done. "What next?" I asked. "How do we et out?" "How is the door?" he replied. I looked through the porthole and said: "A crowd of men waiting." "We'll have to make a dash for it, I1 fancy," he replied cheerfully, though his face was covered with blood and his breath was coming in short gasps. "Get down the bars and be ready." But even as he spoke a chair hurled from below caught him on the arm, and before he could recover a man had cleared the barricade and was upon him like a tiger. It was Idaho Jack. "Hold the barricade:" Graeme called out as they both went down. I sprang to his place, but I had not much hope of holding it long. I had the heavy oak bar of the door in my hands, and, swinging it round my head, I made the crowd give back for a few moments. Meantime Graeme had shaken off his enemy, who was circling about him upon his tiptoes, with a long knife In his hand, waiting for a chance to spring. "I have been waiting for this for some time, Mr. Graeme," he said, smil ing. "Yes," replied Graeme, "ever since I soiled your cutthroat game in Frisco. How is the little one?" he added sar castically. Idaho's face lost Its smile and became distorted with fury as he replied, spit ting out his words: 'She-is-where you will be before 1 am done with you." "Ah, you murdered her too! You'll hang some beautiful day, Idaho," said Graeme as Idaho sprang upon him. Graeme dodged his blow and caught his forearm with his left hand and held up high the murderous knife. Back and forward they swayed over the loor, slippery with whisky, the knife held high in the air. I wondered why Graeme did not strike, and then I saw his right hand hung limp from the wrist. The men were crowding upon the barricade. I was in despair. Graeme's strength was going fast. With a yell of exultant fury Idaho threw himself with all his weight upon Graeme, who could only cling to him. They swayed together toward me, but as they fell I brought down my bar upon the upraised hand and sent the knife flying across the room. Idaho's howl of rage and pain was mingled with a shout from below, and there, dashing the crowd to right and left, came old Nelson, followed by Abe, San dy, Baptiste, Shaw and others. As they reached the barricade it crashed down and, carrying me with it, pinned me fast. Looking out between the barrels, I saw what froze my heart with horror. In the fall Graemae had wound his arms about his enemy and held him in a grip so deadly that he could not strike, but Graeme's strength was fail ing, and when I looked I saw that Ida ho was slowly dragging both across the slippery floor to where the knife lay. Nearer and nearer his outstretch ed fingers came to the knife. In vain I yelled and struggled. My voice was lost in the awful din, and the barri cade held me fast. Above me, stand ing on a barrel head, was Baptiste, yelling like a demon. In vain I called to him. My fingers could just reach his foot, and he heeded not at all my touch. Slowly Idaho was dragging his almost unconscious victim toward the knife. Ills fingers were touching the blade point when, under a sudden in spiration. I pulled out my penknife, opened it with my teeth and drove the blade into Baptiste's foot. With a bloodcurdling yell he sprang down and began dancing round in his rage, peer "Look: Look!" I was calling in ago ny and pointing. "For heaven's sake, look, Baptiste!" The fingers had closed upon the knife, the knife was already high in the air, when, with a shriek, Baptiste cleared the room at a bound, and before the knife could fall the little Frenchman's boot had caught the uplifted wrist and sent the knife flying to the wall. Then there was a great rushing sound as of wind through the forest, and the lights went out. When I awoke, I found myself lying with my head on Graeme's knees and Baptiste sprinkling snow on my face. As I looked up Graeme leaned over, and, smiling down into my eyes, he said: "Good boy! It was a great fight, and we put it up well." And then he whis pered, "I owe you my life, my boy." His words thrilled my heart through and through, for I loved him as only men can love men, but I only answer ed: "I could not keep them back." "It was well done," he said, and I felt proud. I confess I was thankful to be so well out of it, for Graeme got off with a bone in his wrist broken and I with a couple of ribs cracked, but had it not been for the open bairel of whisky which kept them occupied for a time, offering too good a chance to be lost, and for the timely arrival of Nelson, neither of us had ever seen the light again. We found Craig' sound asleep upon is couch. His consternation on wak ng to see us torn, bruised and bloody vas laughable, but he hastened to find is warm water and bandages, and ;we ;oon felt comfortable. Baptiste was radiant with pride and lelight over the fight and hovered ibout Graeme and me, giving vent to is feelings in admiring French and English expletives. But Abe was dis ,usted because of the failure at Sla rin's, for when Nelson looked in he saw lavin's Trench Canadian wife in yharge, with her baby on her lap, and ie came back to Shaw and said, "Come away; we can't touch this," and Shaw, ifter looking in, agreed that nothing !ould be done. A baby held the fort. As Craig listened to the account of :he fight he tried hard not to approve, )ut he could not keep the gleam out of is eyes, and as I pictured Graeme lashing back the crowd thronging the jarricade till he was brought down by :h chair Craig laughed gently and put his hand on Graeme's knee, and as I went on to describe my agony while Idaho's fingers were gradually nearing the knife his face grew pale and his eyes grew wide with horror. "Baptiste here did the business," I said, and the little Frenchman nodded complacently and said: "Dat's me for sure." "By the way, how is your foot?" ask ed Graeme. "He's fuss rate. Dat's what you call -one bite of-of-dat leel bees. He's ere; you put your finger dere, he's not ere. What you call'him?" "Flea!" I suggested. "Oui"' cried Baptiste. "Dat's one bite of fl'a." "I was thankful I was under the barrels," I replied, smiling. "Oui! Dat's mak me ver mad. I Jump and swear mos awful bad. Dat's pardon me, M'sleu Craig, heh?" But Craig only smiled at him rather sadly. "It was awfully risky," he said to Graeme, "and it was hardly worth It. 'hey'll get more whisky, and anyway the league is gone." "Well," said Graeme, with a. sigh of satisfaction, "it Is not quite such a one sided affair as it was." And we could say nothing In reply, for we could hear Nixon snoring in the next room, and no one had heard of Billy, and there were others of the league that we knew were even now :own at Slavin's. It was thought best that all should remain in Mr. Craig's shack, not knowing what might hap pen, and so we lay where we could, nd we needed none to sing us to sleep. When I awoke, stiff and sore, it was to find breakfast ready and old man Nelson in charge. As we were seated raig came in, and I saw that he was aot the man of the night before. His yourage had come back; his face was iuiet and his eye clear. He was his >wn man again. "Geordle has been out all night, but bas failed to find Billy," he announced Iuietly. We did not talk much. Graeme and [ worried with our broken bones, and the others suffered from a general uoring depression. But after break fast, as the men were beginning to nove, Craig took down his Bible, and, saying, "Wait a few minutes, men," be read slowly, in his beautiful, clear oice, that psalm for all fighters, "God is our refuge and strength," and so on to the noble words: "The Lord of Hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge." How the mighty words pulled .us to ~ether, lifted us till we grew ashamed >f our Ignoble rage and of our ignoble lepression! And then Craig prayed in simple, traightgoing words. There- was ac Inowledgment of failure, but I knew :e was thinking chiefly of himself; :here was gratitude, and that was for :he men about him, and I felt my face urn with shame; there was a petition 'or help, and we all thought of Nixon mud Billy and the men wakening from :heir debauch at Slavin's this pure, right morning. Then he asked that ye might be made faithful and worthy >f God, whose battle It was. Then we ill stood up and shook hands with him n silence, and every man knew a coy mant was being made. But none saw 1s meeting with Nixon. He sent us all way before that. Nothing was heard of the destruction f the hotel stock in trade. Unpleasant uestions would certainly be asked, and the proprietor decided to let bad lone. On the point of respectability :he success of the ball was not con spicuous, but the antileague men were :ontent If not jubilant. Billy Breen was found by Geordie late in the afternoon in his own old and deserted-shack, breathing heavily, :overed up in his filthy, moldering bed lothes, with a half empty bottle of whisky at his side. Geordie's grief and -age were beyond even his Scotch con trol. He spoke few words, but these were of such concentrated vehemence that no one felt the need of Abe's as sistance in vocabulary. Poor Billy! We carried him to Mrs. lavor'.s home, put him in a warm bath, rolled him in blankets and gave him little sips of hot water, then of hot milk and coffee, as I had seen a lver doctor in the hospital treat a similar case of nerve and heart de pression. But the already weakened system could not recover from the aw ful shock of the exposure following the [ebauch, and on Sunday afternoon we saw that his heart was failing fast All day the miners had been dropping in to iucquire after him, for Billy had been a great favorite in other days, and the attention ef the town had been Always Special!

As Mrs. Mfavor sang to him his large, coarse hands moved in time to the music, but he did not open his eyes till he heard Mr. Craig's voice in the next room. Then he spoke his name, and Mr. Craig was kneeling beside him in a moment. The words came slowly: "Oi tried-to fight hit hout-but-Oi got beaten. Hit 'arts to think 'e's ashamed o' me. Oi'd like t'a done bet ter-Oi would." "Ashamed of you, Billy!" said Craig in a voice that broke. "Not he." "And-ye hall-'elped me so!" he went on. "01 wish Oi'd 'a' done better-Ol do." And his eyes sought Geordie and then rested on Mrs. Mavor, who smiled back at him with a world of love in her eyes. "You hain't hashamed o' me -yore heyes saigh so," he said, look ing at her. "No, Billy," she said, and I wonder ed at her steady voice, "not a bit. Why, Billy, I am proud of you." He gazed up at her with wonder and ineffable love in his little eyes, then lifted his hand slightly toward her. She knelt quickly and took it in both of hers, stroking it and kissing it. "01 haught t'a done better. Oi'm hawful sorry 01 went back on 'im. Hit was the lemonalde. The boys didn't mean no 'arm, but hit started the 'ell hinside." Geordie hurled out some bitter words. "Don't be 'ard on 'em, Geordie. They didn't mean no 'arm," he said, and his eyes kept waiting till Geordie said hur riedly: "Na, na, lad! I'll juist leave them till the Almichty." Then Mrs. Mayor sang softly, smooth ing his hand, "Just as I Am," and Billy dozed quietly for half an hour. When he awoke again, his eyes turn ed to Mr. Craig, and they were trou bled and anxious. "Oi tried 'ard. Oi wanted to win," he struggled to say. By this time Craig was master of himself, and he answered in a clear, distinct voice: "Listen, Billy. You made a great fight, and you are going to win yet. And, besides, do you remember the sheep that got lost over the moun tains?" This parable was Billy's spe cial delight. "He didn't beat it when he got it, did he? He took it in his arms and carried it home, and so he will you." - And Billy, keeping his eyes fastened on Mr. Craig, simply said: "Will 'e?" "Sure!" said Craig. "Will 'e?" he repeated, turning his eyes upon Mrs. Mayor. "Why, yes, Billy," she answered cheerily, though the tears were stream ing from her eyes. "I would, and he loves you far more." He looked at her, smiled and closed his eyes. I put my hand on his heart. It was fluttering feebly. Again a trou bled look passed over his face. "My-poor-hold-mother!" he whis pered. "She's-hin-the-wukus." "I shall take care of her, Billy," said Mrs. Mayor in a clear voice, and again Billy smiled. Then he turned his eyes to Mr. Craig and trom him to Geordie and at last to Mrs. Mayor, where they rested. She bent over and kissed him twice on the forehead. "Tell 'er," he said, with difficulty, "e's took me 'ome." "Yes, Billy!" she cried, gazing into his glazing eyes. He tried to lift her hand. She kissed him again, He drew one deep breath and lay quite still, "Thank the blessed Saviour!" said Mr. Craig reverently. "He has taken him home." But Mrs. Mayor held the dead hand tight and sobbed out passionately: "Oh, Billy, Billy, you helped me once when I needed help! I cannot forget!" And Geordie, groaning, "Aye, laddie, laddie!" passed out into the fading light of the early evening. Next day no one went to work, for to all it seemed a sacred day. They car ried him into the little church, and there Mr. Craig spoke of his long, hard fight and of his final victory, for he died without a fear and with love to the men who, not knowing, had been his death. And there was no bitter ness in any heart, for Mr. Craig read the story of the sheep and told how gently he had taken Billy home; but, though no 'word was spoken, it was there the league was made again. They laid him under the pines beside Lewis Mayor, and the miners threw sprigs of evergreen into the open grave. When Slavin, sobbing bitterly, brought his sprig, no one stopped him, though all thought it strange. As we turned to leave the grave the light from the evening sun came soft ly through the gap in the mountains and, filling the valley, touched the trees and the little mound beneath with glo ry, and I thought of that other glory which Is brighter than the sun and was not sorry that poor Billy's weary fight was over, and I could not help agreeing with Craig that it was there the league had its revenge.
