CHAPTER 111.
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

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.
He was a tall, handsome youth of 1!,
whose coat sleeves mid trousers were
much too short for him.
“My father has a cousin who is in
jail," retorted Thorsten. determined n >t
to be beaten.
“But my father killed a man in Nor
way,” cried Gunnar triumphantly.
“That’s a lie in your throat."
“It is no : urh thing."
In a Hash they ha 1 both tumbled down
from the log, grappled, and, swaying to
and fro, fought like tigers. Tha.ot’ier
boys, wholly oblivious of the prayer
meeting, yelled with delight and shout ed
encouragement to the combatants, while
the girls on the steps faced about quickly
and strove no more to disguise their in
terest. Even the devout people about
the windows began to gravitate slowly

yhn. I ask, in the fight of him who de-
mandeth notforei;rn languages, hut truth

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 was therefore astonished when the
pastor grasped his hard and cracked fist
in Ids soft, moist hand, and asked with a 1
kind of harsh friendliness how he was
getting on. The boy was afraid to coni

mit himself on so ticklish a subject and
lixiked up into his mother’s face, as if
expecting her to answer.
“Oh. God help us, Mr Pastor,” the
widow replied, “he isn't getting on at
all. The spirit of the world, the flesh
and the devil is strong in him. 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.
"Ho actually fought during the meet
ing,” tho mother continued; “fought (
with fists till blood flowed."
Sho made an effort to get hold of the
boy’s left hand, which he now discovered
wasquile bloody. But the delinquent i
thrust it guiltily into Ids pocket and !
made an effort to retire behind his moth
er's back. She talked on for some min
utes, lamenting his w ickedness, not, how
ever, in the usual whining voice of a
complaining woman, but in a tone of
stern accusation. She scarcely observed
that tho pastor's replies showed bnt a
faint interest in tho subject, and that he
was more 1 han onco on tho point of in
terrupting her.
“Well, well, my good woman,” he
broke in impatiently, “we’ll talk more |

over their shoulders and ceased to fol

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. With
out undignified excitement, but with
a stem, set face which was much
more awful, sh -• swooped down upon
the unsuspecting Gunnar, (gabbed him
by the collar of his coat, shook him a

half hearted way to exhibit a hilarity
which he was far from feeling, and the
forced grin of mocking jollity which he
turned toward the disappointed specta
tors was rather pathetic than cheerful.
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. He saw plainly now
where he had neglected an opportunity
to trip Thorsten up, and he wished In-
could have had tho chance over again:
