She spriitu; to her fret and the fang. There was still a dim light in tho sky, but the lamps were lighted in the car. People were preparing for the night's journey. Men were reading the even ing papers as though every moment was a consideration, ami in a seat opposite a woman was trying to soothe a baby, while another little one clung to her, begging to be taken into her lap. “A pleasant lookout for the night." I said to Margaret, in a voice much too flat and empty of emotion to lie natural. “They are almost dead with sleep now," said she, and in a moment what did she do hut cross over and take the 1 laby and toss it in her young, strong anus. The baby felt the change from the lax. nervous grasp of its mother, and hurst into a crowing laugh, while the older child, interested, stopjied winning and joined in the merriment. How did Margaret happen to have a sweet crack er in the shape of a horse in her pocket— she who abhorred “dry flour?” I think it came to her as all her other fairy gifts did, and it comforted more of us than the baby and the baby's brother. That horse cantered and walked. It hid it self, it jumped out of queer places, and was finally dissected and doled out in the most minute and everlasting parti cles. To see Margaret so full of re sources did not surprise me. I was too much used to her fertility and freshness to wonder at it, bnt her light langh, the firm gentleness with which she managed Ho we sat down side by side on an old wooden 'settle, and it was not many minutes before Margaret's hand stole into mine. I looked at her with appre hension, and to my surprise she said clasrly and boldly: * “1 am not afraid. I am only hungry.” The woman looked at her. “Is she your daughter?" she asked. “My niece," I promptly answered. “She doesn't favor you," said she, and there was again silence. After what seemed to us a very long time a man looking like a Presbyterian clergyman in a miner's clothes came in. and in his turn stared at us. gave a jittle nod, and he went out. Then the woman arose, took two plates from a closet, two cups and saucers and began to prepare a table for us. She spread no cloth, and she put the bacon and potatoes which she fried together upon our plates, .s- jiensing with the formality of a meat dish. Tho coffee pot she pulled forward, 1 poured some water onVhat was already ! in it and let it boil. Khe put bread and 1 butter and some pickled tripe on the ta ble and bade us c< • and eat. And it was cot ill flavori to us. The coffee was flat and bitter, and neither one of us would have ordered fried bacon from a bill of Lire: but it was ail hot, ami we were so in need of b. id. haring had noth- i ing to eat since a hasty noon meal, that 1 the mere nourishment was comforting and helpful. Then when we had finished the wo man lighted t^ o candles, and we arose and followed hsr to two reasonably clean i liedrooms on the other side of the tell. After she had left us we sat down and talked. Now that we were in Tiger hill we laid no idea what to do or whete to turn. I But we agreed that we had best be silent, and say nothing of Jack until we knew ! what wo should say, and to whom we should say it. “In the morning,” said I, “we will see the place and learn something of the people. There must 1)0 some one in au thority lu re, aud some one who has some | sense of law. The very gossip may tell | us where Jack is, and just what has hap pen'd. In the meantime we have come because I am interested in the mines, ami you are my niece—as indeed, dear child, from this moment you must be." And Margaret, leaning over, took my hand and kissed it, but I drew it away and laid it on her pretty head, and prayed to God that she might in this adventure lie kept from harm and from sorrow. And indeed it was but a few hours after that there was need of an instant answer to this prayer. 1 had been asleep about an hour when suddenly I awakened. It stv-.u • 1 to me that something had happened to arouse me, but everything was perfectly still. The stars were now shining; i heard an awl hoot and the cry of a lonely cricket. I was just falling off to sleep again when the very skies seemed rent by a woman's scream. The sound was not in the house, it was far off and in the open air, but I instantly knew it was Margaret's voice. Out of bed I sprang and into her room, which was empty, and her cloth ing was gone. Ou a chair by the lx>d stood her little satchel and a few toilet articles. It took me bnt a moment to fling on my clothes and dash out of the silent, dark house, and here and there I ran, trying to find some token of her, but I did not call nor speak.- I am not young, but I am strong. I have been a both mother and children, as though she had no other care nor thought, did make j UK ® 0 * temperate, athletic habits, and I mo realize that the unexpected is the wee have the use of a body nearly six fc-ot in man. I had fancied I should have to com- i fort and sustain her, but behold she was not only in-good spirits, but she took it I for granted that I shared her resolute pushing hack of fears that would nwak- height, well knit, well kept, and when I carried fewer years I asked nothing of my strength or endurance that I did not get. But at this moment I thought of neither strength nor weakness, but 1 sped on, meaning to find my precious cn, and lieforo the porter came to make j charge. I fell down, I ran into trees, I the lieds for the night I had ceased to j plunged worry. I had not forgotten nor ignored Jack's tragedy, hut I reserved my strength, and being a man healthy and ! tired, I slept all night and waked in the morning in good spirits and well rested. But Margaret was pale, and the lines around her mouth were drawn and de jected. Yet she roused herself, and the rest of tho day bore herself cheerfully and with patience. But neither of ns now remembers that day’s journey. We gazed ont the window and talked of what wo saw, but nothing was real to us. I felt ns though we had shut some horrid tiling into a closet, and were hold ing the door to keep it in. The day passed, the snn set, the twi light fell, and Margaret and I sat silent as wo drew near oar journey’s end. Tiger Hill .vas shrouded in mist and darkness when wo ontered it. By a lamp in the station a surly agent wa« making np a report from which he was loth to separate himself to do more than mutter that there was a hotel up the street where we might find hxlgings for tho night Haring thns answered he buried looking hack as caught his eyes fixed upon us with a •serious, suspicions expression that was not pleasant to me. Bnt of this I did not speak to Margaret. She took my into water, I tripped over stones, but nothing baffled me, and my speed was little broken. The i as I ran I bi-came aware of sounds inarticulate, almost inaudible. Which were those of tiie human being, ami i knew I must be near n camp of some kind. Silently, cautiously now I went, listen ing and following the sounds, which grew more and more distinct, and yet girl boldly enough, and finally said that we were friends of Mr. Lewis, and had come to be of use to him. When this was translated to tho men, who never moved their eyes from tho f;u;e» of the two speakers, they brutally laughed, ami she for tho first time lost her perfect com mand of herself. There was one little man who wore a fur cap, and he displayed his knowledge of English by occasionally crying out: “Tyrant! Slavel Push ahead!" When he heard the name of Lewis he shrugged his shoulders and gave an idiotic jump into the air. It was as much os I could do not to go out and shake the little monster, but I had sense enough to keep silent ami quiet. Yet it was hard work —the hardest 1 over did! They bullied Margaret, they tried to terrify her into a confession, as they grew more and more convinced that she was baffling them. They mistook her innocence for assurance, her courage for obstinacy, but they did not touch her. Then Margaret suddenly drew her shawl closer around her shoulders. "1 am cold," she said, “and 1 am tired. 1 wish you would have more woo 1 thrown I on the fire and give me a seat by it." The little man, when this was translated. ! made a reply that was in turn translated to her, ami it was that they would make up the tire and give her a seat in tho middle of it. The dreadful brutality of this made her cheek pale, yet she said not a word, but turned and walked to the fire and sat down on the trunk of a fallen tree, which was evidently drawn there fur a scat. For a moment her whole body relaxed, and she looked as if tiie could bear no more. She put out her hands to the now low fire, but in a moment rested her head on hor hand like a tired child. Th'-n she drew her self together, looked up. and did the most astonishing thing. She began to sing—to sing in a clear, swoet, thrilling .voice, which vibrated with passionate intention. If an angel from heaven had alighted, and in his dazzling attire had stood in their midst, the men could not have been more startled, more electrified. They stood stock still gazing at her. But she gave no heed to them, but sang louder and clearer until her voice seemed to fill the air. making, it pulsate with en chantment. For w.iut was she singing? Ah, for what was sho not singing! For life, for help, for freedom, and, though she knew it nof, for love. Her song went soaring to the skies, and prayed to lx* saved from these cruel men, aud it ■came back to earth, and begged them to lie human, and not to he as the beasts, hungry for prey. She sang like one inspired, and her whole heart went out iu tho cry, “An gels ever bright and fair. take, oh, take mo to your care!" and ilie song sicmed bom of the night and of ix-nl! And then, behold, from one of the lints there was a great cry, and ont there rusl)cd a man, torn, weak, bandaged, and he looked wildly about him. and seeing her lie ran to her and fell prone on the ground at her side. And she lifted him up and held him in her arms, and I—1 came out irom my hiding place and hurried to them, and I took Jack from her and laid him down, thinking he was dead, but he opened his eyes and feebly smiled. So 1 sat down on the grass and held him, and Margaret knelt by him, and they looked each into the eyes of tho other. But around us there was a hubbub of confusion and quarrelling, and knives Hashed and the leader pushed back one and threatened another, aud the noise grew greater and more fierce, but Mar garet and Jack were like people safe in a lagixin, careless of the raging storm outside. But the leader turned, holding one man by the throat, and he cried, “Sing! JJ you value your lives let the girl sing!" For a moment Margaret faltered. Sho feared for us as she never had for her self, anil she gasped as though her breath was gone, putting her hand to her throat. Then she sprang to her feet and sho sang. It was a wild, fierce song like a battle cry, and she now and then clapped her hands together with a ringingsonnd, and she flung out her arms, looking like a prophetess calling her people to follow her to war. And then all these men struck in with a solemn slow measure Ej HJALIIAB UJOETU BOYESEN. [Copyright. AU right* icxi-i vt-ud CHAPTERL There was a prayer meeting at Lars Steensrud's farm. The sitting rdora was crowded with jeople. and all around the soon gathered ■ open windows eager listeners were stand ing, straining their ears* to catch the words tlmt fell from the preacher's lips. A current of foul, moist air, charged with the odor of Iranian exhalations, poured out into the hallway where men and women stood packed together like herring in a barrel Outside in the farm yard some small Ixivs, now and then for getting the solemnity of the occasion, fell to punching and teasing each other, and were sternly rebuked by their elders as soon as their altercations became audi ble. Half a dozen young girls in calico gowns and colored kerchiefs on their heads made a feint of listening to the fervid discourse of which a phrase now and tlu n readied them, but watched furtively the nnregonerato behavior of tiie boys, and snickered whenever one got the better of the other. “Oh, ye generation of vipers," shouted the preacher in a terrific voice of warn ing and menace, "who shall teach you to (lee from the wrath to come?" The boys, supposing the admonition was addressed to them, grew quite alarmed: aud seating themselves on n log in front of the wood shed, in various awkward attitudes, glancedat each other witli a half cowed and shame faced bra vado. But they presently forgot their scare, and then commenced anew the same punching and pinching and chal lenging brag which led to fresh quarrels. “I know where"there is a skunk,' raid Thorsten Sletton. a tow headed; freckled and chunky lad of Id. “I saw a drunk man yesterday," ole served Gunnar Matson, promptly acci ;>t- iug the challenge.

The pastof continued for another half hour in this strain, warning his hearers in the most impressive language that they could not learn the English lan guage or hold intercourse with Ameri- eans without running a grave risk of eternal damnation. He elaborated his theme with groat ingeMity and ended with an appeal for the endowment of ;i panxihial school under the direct super vision and control of the Norwegian Lutheran synod. He finished this ap peal with a long and» fervid prayer, in which he liosought God to save Ids peo ple from the abominations of desolation —from the unhallowed and soul destroy ing daiuxfnrimud the Golden Calf, which was, forsooth, the gixl of the heretical, * mammon worshiping n.-tion wherewith it had. pleased him to surround them. Tiie meeting was then at an end, and tho pastor devoted himself for another hour to private solicitation, buttonhol ing one by one tho well to do members of the church, and refusing to let them go until they had pledged themselves in writing for an amount which lie thought fair. If any one, knowing that Ids turn would come next, tried to steal away unobserved the zealous clergyman dex-: terms'y intercepted him. and shamed him with appeals to his pride and his fear until he had contributed Ids quota. When lie approached the Widow Mat- son, who had made no attempt to es cape, Gunnar thought with fear and trembling that now “he was in for it."

He does not think of God, Mr. Pastor, but only of quarreling and sinful fooling and deviltry." “I am sorry to hear such bad reports of you, Gunnar," observed the jiastor with a warning shako of the head.

This flattering attention spurred the boys to do their l>ost. They pulled each other’s hair and ears, planted blow upon blow in eacli other's foreheads, tried to “hook" eac h other's legs, and resorted to all the dodges recognized in tho art of self defense. But they were pretty even ly matched, Thorsten making up in brawn what ho lacked in size. They were yet in the midst of the fierce strug gle, and both heroically determined not to give up when suddenly a tall, matronly woman was seen pushing her way through the crowd.

It did not occur to him to make any re sistance. however. He allowed him self to be dragged meekly as a Iamb through the crowd in the hall into the stuffy sitting room, where the foul air soon sobered his combativo zeal. “Now,” whispered bismother, giving him a little .admonitory shako, “listen to the word of God and repent of your wickedness." The boy tried hard to listen and still harder to repent, but strive.as he might his thought would revert to the fight. He regretted bitterly that it had been interrupted before he had triumphed over his enemy.
