Wilders!’’ The echoes once more died away in the distance. Then—could she believe her ears?—a long, low, agonizing groan. The direction of the spot wlieresome thing human was in agony was now known to her. Once more on hands and knees she groped till she felt with trembling hand the slimy wall of the last gallery. With eager eyes she pierced the dark chasm. Seventy feet below, like a star, glittered a storm-lantern, and close by Jt she thought she recognized a human body lying prone on the ground. “Wilders! Wilders!’’ she cried again. Ah! This time an answer. From the depths below came a faint cry for help, then all again was silent. ; Then Elsie knew that the last peril- | ous step must be taken. Better had she retraced her way up those feeble lad ders and sought for help, but her gen erous impatience brooked no delay. She did not hesitate, though she knew that some of the rungs had been tam pered with and that one false step would hurl her to destruction. Calmly but quickly she reasoned that each stave must be tried before she trusted her weight upon it, and to effect this most readily she tied the long shawl aho had been wearing over every rung above her head as she descended, not loosening her hold of it until security of foothold was positive. Suddenly as she rested for a moment the rung which had just borne her with apparent safety snapped like a broken reed, and but for the shawl to which she desperately clung she would have shared the fate of the prospector. With one desperate effort she let go the shawl and clung to the sides of the ladder, which for four yards was noth ing but two bare poles, and, letting her body swing, hand over hand, inch by inch, she lowered herself to earth. It was the *feat of a gymnast, done by a frail girl, thoughtless of the peril, which was mercifully bidden from her eyes by the friendly darkness. The light guided her to the pros trate figure of him for whom she had dared so much. How lucky! The IT ABOUHD THE DOG 8 NECK. THE J'.UNG SWAPPED LIKE A REED. storm lantern, with its heavy wire-pro tected sides, had fallen on a heap of ore dust, where it lay uninjured. Seizing it, she ran to the side of the injured man. He still was conscious, though almost speechless. “Pocket — side — coat—whisky,” he faintly gasped. The quick-witted girl knew what ho meant. Men of his business always carry a leathern-cased bottle of spirits to meet just such an emergency as this. She reached it, and l>* lu r sur prise and joy found it unbroken. The effect of a draught of thi . strong drink was magical. “It’s my arm an’ leg 1 think s broke,” he said. “I'm kind o‘ numbed; don't suffer much pain now; but how in thunder did you get here, Elsie?” “Nevermind that now, Mr. Wilders. Think of Millie and Willie, and let us thank God that your life is spared.” Jack said afterwards that when Whit- ford’s girl knelt down by his side. and. in the somber stillness of that deserted mine, prayed for their rescue, he felt as if lie was “chumming with a blessed angel; who might spread her wing > an’ fly at any moment.” “Does anyone know that you were coming down here, Mr. Wihb r.s?” the girl asked, presently. “Nary a blamed soul,” was the dole ful response, “but a tramp, who was starting off for Ibhpcming just before l come here.*' Elsie’s courage failed at this. There was just the bare hope that a book she bad been reading and had flung on the ground at the mouth of the mine before her hurried descent might be found by her friends, who, alarmed at her absence, would be sure to search a spot she was so well known to frequent, and might suggest to them the idea that she had fallen down the shaft, which would induce them to make an exploration which might lead to their rescue. Beyond this frail chance she hud not a hope. Bark! Burcly there was a noise—a low whine, us though from some animal. Wilders half-raised his head, listened acutely, and said: “The dog! By tho Lord, that's Nel son. ” The idea to Elsie seemed preposter ous, as how could any four-footed ani mal reach that dreadful depth? “The Indians,” Jack whispered, for his strength was fast falling, “worked this mine years ago—always thought — long natural pa*>uju out Vo the foot dftbe hllL" Seizing the lantern the girl started •ft** stream of water whose depth or width she knew not. Saturating her hand kerchief in the precious fluid, she made her way back to Wilders, whose brow she laved with infinite tenderness. Then again that whine and the sound of something scratching the earth away. How eagerly she listened. “Nelson! Nelson!” Her tremulous cry reechoed through the caverns. A splash in the water, and the dog— for dog it was—came swimming to wards her, and in a minute was stand ing beside her, shaking the drops from his long coat. The intelligent creature seemed to understand it all a glance. Licking his master’s hand and whimpering, he first paid his tribute to the sufferer, then came and gazed with sympathetic brown eyes into Elsie’s, saying as plain as looks could speak: “I am ready to help you—what shall I do?” She took the dog’s head tenderly on her lap and kissed the honest face, then drawing from her pocket ni*old envel ope she hastily scribbled in pencil: ••For God s sake help: Rescue us quickly. Jack Wilders lies badly h..n in the third gal lery of the old New York mine. • ELSIE Whitfokd.” Wrapping Ibis in her handkerchief she tied it around the dog’s neck. “Now, you dear, noble fellow, home! home! home! I say," while she pointed toward the way he had come. But Nelson had other views; for a time her voice and gestures only served to make him wag his tail and cringe around her. but at last, when she had despaired of making him understand, a flash of intelligence !. pid to his eyes and he dashed off across the pool into the darkness. An hour of dull expectancy, and then the girl's heart leaped with joy, for right over her head voices were heard, lights glimmered like stars, and a man’s hoarse tones came ringing below. “Hello! Hello, there!” “Hello! We are here!" “What’s up?” “Wilders has fallen down the ladder and is badly hurt.” “Can lie move?” “No, you must lower a cot. But some of the rungs of the ladder have been sawed away. So, on peril of your lives, do not try the descent without ropes,” “How many rungs are broken?” “Seven or eight.” “All right; we'll soon be with you; cheer up.” But it seemed to her an age before they brought a short laddfr and lashed it to the old one, so as to bridge Hie broken part, and then when eager faces were gazing witli sympathy upon them, and tender hands wire helping them, Elsie Whitford, who had done and dared so much, proved her title to womanhood by letting the little crowd and cavern walls reel around her and quietly and unostentatiously fainting away. CHAPTER IX A CHICAGO INTERIOR. “I don’t know what to say about buying so much on credit, George. It is very nice to have so many pretty things about t he house, but this easy- feeming installment plan may lead into deep waters. There’s the quarter ly payment on the house and lot. the assessments for insurance in the Mutual company, and sixty cents a week on the sewing machine—still the books are very elegant, and—” The speaker paused, standing with her babe in her arms looking wist fully at her husband, a perfect type of an American mechanic's wife, young, strong, healthy, handsome, and. what would be consult red in other eon nil i*\s, educated utterly beyond her sphere. The interior of the room was worthy of the pen of a Wilkie. Humbly, though cozily furnished, the 11«»or covered with a substantial rag carpet, the walls adorned with pretty chronics, a huge Connc'-'Urut clo’k ticking merrily in the corner, a cheerful .vood- stove radiating warmth and light from its glowing micas, and beyond, through a half-opened door, a peep at an apart ment of a more ambitious nature—the parlor, only to be used on state oc casions. But the crowning figure of this homelike scene was the young mechanic, George Harlaud, as he sat :;t a table witli his threc-year-oM boy on bin knee. He looked at his wife as • !■•• tpoke, and a merry gleam lit his honest brov. ii eyes. “Why, Nell, what freak of prudence has bitten you now? If a master :.hip- wright. earning four dollars a day and doesn't spend a cent in drink, has cause to be scared at getting into a book agent’s debt a few weekly i ibtallments, why—” “But, George, you might take sick, and—” ’Tigs might fly. Pshaw, girl, there's not much of the interesting Invalid about me; now, is there? Then, there's that prize-packet lodger upstairs, whom you seduced into paying a dol lar and u half a week for his room.” “Oh, yes, he's very nice, isn’t he? But I f. nr lie’s out of wo*k, and, though ho’* i nch a perfect gentleman, I don’t think we can rely on hia stopping with us fur long.” George laughed with enjoyment r. hia wuv'» fvrvbvUiuga) it waa rath j too gooa a jokc to tnmK tnai a cmeago shipwright in full pay couldn’t afford to indulge in the pure base of a picture book. “^ou are incorrigible, George,” the wife said with laughing lips. Then a little seriously: Ts it likely to be a busy season at the dry-dock?” “You bet. Why, Moore & Marston have more orders on hand than they can ever fill. The Red Star company has Hie lines laid for a hundred thou sand dollar passenger boat. Burroughs & W atts have given orders for two first-class tugs, and there are six barges I know will be turned out of our yard this summer.” “Times should be good, George.” “Never better.” At that moment the front door opened and a young woman entered—a tall, shapely girl, with good features, and fair hair lying on her forehead like a cloud of feathery glory; vet, there was ti shadow of unhealth in the flawless transparency of her complexion, and her step lacked the litheness and ac tivity of buoyant youth. Alice Palmer's lines had not been east in pleasant places, except so far as she was enabled to board with her sister, Mrs. Harlan:!. She “clerked" in a great dollar bazar kept by a Hebrew incr- ehaut. who cared nothing for the help- les . girl . who sold his glittering wares, knowing well that when one broke down as. poor things, they wen: often in t i habit of doing—there were a score editor-fellow, Grey, if he should chance to be in his room. Be found our hero up to his eyes in study, but cordially glad to see him. “I read that paper of yours, which Col. Gilchrist tossed into tho waste basket, and see many good points in it —perhaps too conservative for these critical times, but that is a good fault.” “Well, sir,” Uarlund answered, “I don’t know, after all, that I’m right It docs seem hard that there should be so much suffering in this land of plenty, that one man should be rolling in riches and another equally industrious —for 1 take no account of loafers— should hardly be able to keep the wolf from the door.” “It docs, indeed,” Grey responded, de cisively, thinking of his own attenuated services and inability to secure em ployment. “It is a hard problem to solve, and—” He paused and blushed scarlet. “I’m trying to master it. Don’t think that I ever hope to be the apostle of the New Civilization, but I may be one of its pioneers.” Harland gazed at him with open- mouthed wonder. “Concentration of wealth led to the French revolution, class privileges, and unequal taxes. Bow is it in America? Big concerns backed by huge capital crush the life out of small tradesmen, who must become servants or starve. We have law enough, but no justice. Who cares for the law who has money A VILE WALL STREET TRAITOR tot:.! .c her place*. 1 “ Y >n look tired to-night.

There ought to be a law passed to compel employers of female labor to pay fair wages and de cent treatment. But. Ally, throw the thing up, and rest till you ean better yourself. You know how welcome you are to live with us.” “It may come to that, George, for something that has happened to-day leads me to expect my discharge on Saturday night.” “Oli, Ally, dear, how is that? They seemed to think so much of you?” Mrs. Harlaud asked. "It was through no fault of mine. You know Charlie Grant, don’t you?” “The reporter on the Herald who is going to marry Carrie Chambers? Yes, sure.” "Well, he came into the store to give me a message for her, and while lie was talking to me Mrs. Buddulph, i the. millionaire pork-packer's wife—oh, i Nellie, how I do hate those new rich people—drove up in her carriage and | walked straight to my counter. Char- ; lie stood respectfully aside till she i should give her orders, but as soon as she had seated herself she began a tirade against servant girls, and wound up by indignantly demanding why I I was stuck there behind a counter, in stead of earning an honest living as a domestic, when hired help was hardly , to be had for love or money,” "What did you say?” “I felt ready to sink with vexation; but I dared not reply, for she is a good customer; but what do you think Charlie Grant did? lie raised his hat in the politest manner, and said in a voice that could be heard all over the store: ‘You ought to be very grateful to Mrs. Biddulph for her kind advice. She speaks from experience, you know,/or the xcaa her huahand't cook before he married her!" George burst into a hearty roar of laughter. “Good for the newspaper boy!” he said, “that was well done." “Ah, but Mrs. Biddulph did not think ao. While all the clerks and customers were convulsed with laughter, she flounced out of the store, and a few minutes afterwards Cohen came to me and said that he couldn’t allow ins clerks to receive admirers during busi ness hours.” “He did, did he, the insolent pup?” George vociferated, his face flushing with passion. “Back to the bazar you shall never go. Ally. Tomorrow I will call on him and settle it.” "You will do no such thing, George Barland,” his wife interposed, decisive ly. “You will only be getting yourself into trouble, and no good will come of it. Perliap; Ally had better resign her position and wait for something more suitable.” Thus, it was resolved that another incumbrance should be laid on the broad back of the breadwinner, who shouldered the burden cheerfully, for George harlana nad s big heart and never fretted over trifles. The young women retired to put the children to bed, and the mechanic, well pleased with himself and his surround ings, drew his chair closer to the stove and lit his pipe to enjoy his usual even ing smoke. As the clouds curled up wards to the ceiling the tint of ids thoughts became less roseate—a feel ing of unrest possessed him. Ally's broken health and Cohen’s brutality rankled in his mind, and for the first time in his life he found himself wan dering whether “Windy" Atkins, the demagogue of the yard, was not right after all in his denunciation of capital ists and his florid portrayal of the wrongs of labor. It did seem cruel that a fairly-educated, well-behaved girl like Ally should be wearing herself out for a bare subsistence. Then, there was that little trouble down at the yard~not worth making a fuss about, certainly not to bo men tioned to Nell—perhaps, after all, ho ought to have taken more interest in it and attended the meeting ut U'Urlen's saloon tonight. Bunged, if he didn't think it would be a good thing to go and Wi* ike utulWr ww with Umt ‘YOU OUGHT TO UK VERY GRATEFUL TO MR. BIDDULPH.” and influence sufficient to defy it? Our tax administration is a disgrace to civ ilization, and—” “Still it’s a pretty good country to live in, Mr. Grey.” “Yes, as long as vour ox is not gored. If you could shut your eyes to the mis ery of thousands in this city of Chicago, you might think it a charming place to dwell in.” “And what are you going to do about it?” “Mass labor against capital.” “By trades unions?” “Yes. By concentrated action. By the power of the ballot box.” “Talking of trades unions, I want your advice as to a ease iu point.” “Proceed.” “Wo bad two men in our yard who have scamped their work and, as the saying goes, ‘sassed the boss,’ who gave them the sack. Now, there’s some kind of a fuss about the matter and some of the men arc attending a meeting to-night to talk the matter over. I don’t suppose it will amount to much, but I’m kind of uneasy, and that's why I came upstairs." “Oh, that is all nonsense. The work ingmen of this country are too intelli gent to make a mountain of such a molehill as that. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.” Nevertheless, just as Harland that night was going to bed. a tap came to the door, and a fellow workman beck oned him outside. “I've been to the meeting, George, and I thought I'd drop in and tell you how things went.” “You might have saved yourself the trouble,” Harland laughed. “I know how things went, just as though I’d been there. ‘Windy’ Atkins made a screed on the bloated lumber lords, there was a good deal of beer con sumed, and then Fred Sawyer ami a few old hands just sat down on the sil ly performance.” “You are wrong, George,” was the serious reply. “The only man who spoke at length was the walking delegate from New York, and—” "Who in thunder’s he?” Harland asked fiercely. "What can a New Yorker know about our local quarrels? And what did he soy?" “Ordered us all out on a itrike ieithoul an hour't notice" Evidently Not Acquainted with the Old Man. [Correspondence of The Ledger. 1 Algood, 8. C., Oct.. 21.—Rev. R. J. Tate filled his last regnlqr appoint ment at Macedonia with due des patch last Saturday. He preached on “Wickedness,” based on Paslms 7:5). lie seemed greatly perplexed and troubled over the present situa tion and prophesied of war and other troublesome times almost at the door. If he will only rend the 12th chapter of Daniel and scriptures in connection with it with an unpreju diced heart he will see just what is the matter.
