to assure him that the union had

?&&tter sternly answered, "As soon as I

Te this messenger Raymond said:

their leadership. An hour lateran was
ready, and into the heavy, shifting
smoke which rose from the smoldering
debris at the first level Kelly and his
young partner descended to extinguish
the burning timbers, to clear away the
fallen rock and to signal to the im?
prisoned men below.
Again and again they were forced to
lie flat on their faces with their lips
touching the earth in order to breathe;
but at last the smoldering material
was all hoisted, the mine cleared, and
they were able to look about them,
dizzy, but exultant The iron beams
had caught and held a huge mass of
rock which the concussion had shaken
from the mouth of the mine, and to dig
through this was the task that now
confronted them; but the air of the
shaft having cleared, volunteers thick?
ened, and the exhausted leaders were
I able to rest their aching limbs and lis?
ten for signals.
They were mightily cheered by the
faint but unmistakable sound of knock?
ing. The imprisoned ones were calling,
in the well tried fashion-by hammer?
ing on the rock with their sledges.
They beat cheerfully, as if seeking to
reassure their rescuers.
An hour later the rescuers could hear
the voices of those beneath, and it waa
' hardly more than midday before they
began to lift them out two by two in
the big bucket
Ann, hearing their shouts, came down
the path with Nora to meet them. Kel?
ly's jeyes were dim with Jear3,_and
Ann's heart went out to him as ne
shouted, "They are all here, and un?
hurt!"
"But you are hurt?" she asked Ray?
mond, with anxious, timorous voice,
peering at his torn and trembling
? hands.
? "No-only tired. How is the pa
I tient?" he asked as they "started to-,
ward the cabin together. ? %
"5e is awake, but his pulse is still
[ rapid, and he is very restless."
j "What does the doctor say?"
"He insists there is no danger. I
[ think he means it. But, oh, that poor
boy is so sickT She checked herself.
"This will br> a Torr irions loss to
you. will lt !:0t?"
He strove to answer Sght?y. "Oh, ;
yes; but our vein is there just the
same. Luckily they couldn't blow that
away^!._-._._
At the door of the bungalow he turn?
ed. "I must leave you for a time. I
must repair damages"-he looked at
his hands and arms-"and I want to
talk with my men."
Raymond found his men in the bar?
rack, discussing with characteristic
calmness the general situation while
waiting for their dinner. And when
Perry shouted "grub pile" in cow camp
phrase each man bustled to his place
with cheerful clatter. Raymond drew
up with the rest and for a few minuses
no word spoken referred to the disas?
ter.
As the first man, well filled, pushed
back his chair Raymond called out:
"Boys, I want to say a word before
any of you out. A council of war
is necessary aL this minute."
Those who bad risen took seats again,
and all faced his way. As he looked
at them his throat filled with a realiza?
tion cf their loyal service, and he could
not find voice for a few moment?, but
sat with bowed head, rolling a bit of
bread between his fingers. At last he
resolutely cleared his throat and began
harshly: "Well, boys, the game halts
right here. You see where Kelly &
Raymond are-they're flat. We've got
a good mine if we could work it but
we can't. Just about every dollar we
had to spare went into that machinery,
and our ore shipments were just begin?
ning. I've been doing a little figuring,
and I find we can pretty near pay all
that's due you, but we can't do any
more. If this strike were, settled we
might get somebody to come in and
help us put up a new power plant but
as things shape up at this present time
we're *up a stump,' as they say back in
Ohio. So I guess we'll have to let you
go." There was a movement among
the men which he felt as a protest, but
he continued: "I hate to do this, espe?
cially now in the winter, but you can
see how it is. If I were in your
places I wonid go to Reese and the oth?
er independents and stick by 'em; he'p
them fight this thing through on fair
play lines."
His slight pause brought no response.
When he began again his voice was
softened. "And, boys, ride up and tell
Matt a goo 1 word. He's hard hit"
His voice trembled dangerously, and
he was forced to stop.
Tho tenr.lon was eased away by
Nary, ont- of the older men. who broke
out with dee*? lunged profanity in order
to conceal his ^ >od he:rt.
"Well. I don't know how the rest of
you feel, but I want to turn right in
and put this mine into shape again and
lynch the dogs that blew us upi"
Raymond lifted his hand. "Hold ou,
boys. Don't be too quick on thc trig?
ger. Keep cool till I ride up on the
hill and tak# a look around and have
a little talk with Munro. Wo must
rally all the independents, which will
take time, and, besides, you must, re?
member I have a very sick boy on my
hands, and there is Baker, who needs
care. Don't rush. Let me go up and
see what the sheriff seems likely to do.
As I've told you before, I've no theory
about the labor question. I never was
up against Tt "before, and I'm a little
uncertain. I've always believed in the
best man winning. I picked you fel?
lows because you were likely chaps.
I'm paying you the nighest wages go?
ing because you earn it You're satis
fled, you say, and I don't see why we
are not privileged to go ahead in our
own way. I haven't felt any need of
going into this fight for the .benefit of
the crowd till now. It looks now as
though we should take a hand. Any?
how, we'll give Munro another chance
to do us justice, and if he don't then
well, we'll try some other plan." He
shook off this disagreeable cloak of
doubt. "But be that as it may, boys,
LI shall never forget the good work
you've done for me when you knew the
crowd was against you."
As they stepped out into the warm
! afternoon sun Kelly, with a jocular
note in his voice, remarked, "Well,
Robbie, we're gents at leisure. Nothing
to do now but play the nurse"-here
his voice swiftly changed-"or do bat?
tle."
"If it were not for the women and
the sick I'd fight We have nothing to
lose now, and the boys are hot for it.
Have you been up the street?"
"No, I have not"
"I don't see what we can do with
these two wounded men and the boy
and the women on our hands. Matt,
the real heart of this opposition is now
in one man. If he w?Te~t?ken aw~ay
these rowdy miners would scatter like
grouse." *
Kelly turned quickly. "You mean
Munro?"
"I do! I'm going up to have an inter?
view with him."
Kelly laid a big hand on his arm.
"You'r^ takin' a big risk. Let me go
instead."
"No, you must stay here. I am going,
and I am going unarmed. I am safer
with empty hands, Matt They will
"Liar!" shouted Raymond.
not shoot an unarmed man. I'm going
to make one more appeal to Munro."
Mounting his horse, Raymond rode
rapidly out along the ridge toward the
hill on which the fortification stood.
He passed now and then a group of
men who knew him, and while one or
two greeted him pleasantly all the oth?
ers met his glance with menace. He
felt the hot breath of their hate, but j
passed on without haste, regretting his
action in leaving his revolvers behind
him.
The camp had eaten its midday meal
-for even in times of war men must ?
eat; the miners h|d hastily devoured j
their rough food ifnd were swarming j
on the hillside overlooking the sheriff's
encampment. The vedettes were biv?
ouacked in a small grove of firs to the
left and a little below the fort (which
was merely a log corral banked with
dirt), and Munro was directing the
shovel brigade at work on the wails of
the redoubt, which was growing rapid?
ly under the brisk movement of chat?
tering miners.
As Raymond neared the crowd of on?
lookers he recognized Denver Dan and
one or two other horsemen, but for the
most part the spectators were stran?
gers and plainly hostile.
He had drawn rein to pass to the
left when Brock stepped forth on foot
and roughly called out:
"What's your business up here?"
"I want to find Munro."
"Well, you go back to your shack
and keep out of this."
Raj-mond smiled. "Wnen did you
become roadmaster?"
Brock raised his voice so that the
rapidly gathering crowd might hear.
"Here's the spy that warned the sher?
iff not to come on the freight train.
Here's the man that ruined our plans.
You can't deny that," he said, laying
a hand on the horse's rein.
"I don't intend to deny, it," replied
Raymond, facing the lowering faces of
the close packed throng as a mastiff
might face a pack of coyotes, "and,
what's more, I don't intend to apolo?
gize for it."
"Lynch him!" shouted some fellow at
the back. "Lynch the spy!"
Raymond had been in danger many
times in his life, but never had he
looked down into such hate inflamed
faces as now encircled him. The old
reckless heart came hack to him. He
lifted his voice in appeal: "Have I a
friend her?? If I have, let him throw
me a gun! 1 want to go fighting!"
"Here you are!" called a stranger,
and a big, glittering revolver came
whirling over the heads of the mob.
Raymond caught lt deftly, and with
thc touch of its handle to his palm his
eyes narrowed and his white teeth set:
"Now let tile dance begin! Some of
you will cross the range with me:"
Denver Dan attempted a diversion.
"T not- .MIf foii/T?: lipvo comes .lack!"
Munro's name and the pistol in~Ra
mond's hand induced a pause. Tl
foremost of the assailants turned t
ward the captain of the vedettes, ri
ing swiftly to the rescue. "What's g
ing on here?" he shouted as he reach*
the outskirts of the crowd.
Brock was ready. "Here's the un:
who has played with our plans s
along, pretending to be neutral whi
he was nothing but a dirty, slinkii
spy from the very beginning."
"Liar!" shouted Raymond, and h
boot toe caught the ruffian In the mom
and he staggered back among his fe
lows with a hoarse cry. For a m
ment he was dazed, then, raging, fui
ous, bis mouth streaming with bloo
he jerked his revolver from its holde
intent to kill, but a hand clutched h
arm, and Munro, spurring his horse i:
to the mass of irresolute men, calle
out: "Brock, I'll kill you if you shoot
this is a friend of mine-you kno^
that! He's stood out against us a
along, but he's been on the square,
sent him to the Springs myself."
Brock wiped the blood from his lip;
"Mebbe you asked him to wire th
sheriff last night. He admits he ser
a messenger to warn him."
Cries ?T frenzied rage broke fort
again, and the crowd surged agains
the two horses. Furious, throaty erie
broke forth.
"Kill him!" "Hang him!"
Munro blew a signal to his men, an
his voice rang out clear and shari
'The first man that reaches a hand OG
of that circle loses it. If any lynchin
is done, I preside over it. Dan, com
in here-you, too, Cook."
The two cowboys spurred their horse
into the circle, and the four armed an
resolute men faced the angry mob am
held it at bay. Raymond, even in thi
hour of danger, regretted Munro's as
slstance; it put him under an obliga
tion which weakened him. With hi
mind filled with conflicting considera
tions, he waited whilethe swift clatte:
of a hundred hoofs drew near and ?
squad of Munro's picked men sui
rounded their captain.
When they were clear of danger Ray
mond drew rein toward Monro. "Jack
you saved my scalp today, and Tn
grateful; that's why I don't want tose
you in the hands of the sheriff. I wan
you to pull ont this minute. Come
now, this is the last appeal. Fly th?
.coop. If you don't, they'll hang you
What do you hope to accomplish? Faa
the situatiou. You ?are the one to hil
the trail, and hit it like a. wolf. Whai
do you hope to do?"
*T expect to hold this camp until the
syndicate yields to the demands of the
miners or until the governor inter?
feres."
"Then what?"
"Then I step down and out'"
"Suppose the sheriff attacks tonight?"
"I will send him back a-whirling.
And now let me take an inning. You
mustn't come up here again. I can't
ass wer for what would hap-?on next
time. You stay where you are. and
listen! Take carr- of yourself. So long,
and take good care of the iady."
CHAPTER XXVI.
TB XX, being measurably relieved
' /\ from anxiety by Lom's' subsid
I \ ing pulse, permitted herself a
.A &. closer study of the brusque
and ominous movements taking place
in the scope of her window. She stud?
ied Raymond, in earnest but apparent?
ly unexpected conference with his
workmen. Xo word of their low ut?
terance reached her ears, but she ob?
served that they organized into squa'ds
as if in obedience to some command
and that each man armed himself and
that each face was grim or recklessly
smiling. That they formed her guard
she knew, and this in itself ought to
have been thrilling. But it was not-it
seemed absurd.
Raymond did not show himself again
to her until about D o'clock of the
evening, when he entered the sickroom
and said quietly to Braide: "Doctor,
you better go to bed if the patient will
permit. You may be badly needed
early tomorrow morning."
"Very well," acquiesced Braide, con
vinced that a closer tie than friend?
ship united Ann and the young miner
and that they desired to be alone.
The door had hardly closed behind
the young physician when Ann turned
to Raymond and imperiously said:
"You must not try to evade me. I
want to know what is threatening.
Tell me!"
"The camp is wild," he admitted, j
feeling the resentment in her voice,
"and I don't see how a clash can be
avoided so long as Muuro is in com- !
mand and keeps his present temper. ;
But you need give no thought to that j
All my men are on guard tonight and, j
whatever happens, this cabin is safe." ?
"I like you to be honest with me,"
she said, more gently. "I'm not a
child, and I'm not a timid person."
"You shall know," he answered, tak?
ing a seat before the fire. He had I
never been more admirable than at !
that moment. "My theoiy is that the j
sheriffs forces are eager to storm the 1
hill before the governor has a chance
to interfere and protect his pets,' that !
is the way they put it. If the attack \
is made a desperate struggle will fol- I
low. Probably the deputies will try to
cany the fortification direct. Mean- j
while Kelly and I have drawn up and
forwarded to the governor a long tele- i
gram signed by the leading independ- \
ents. reciting our disaster and de?
manding immediate interference on his
part, and we are hoping to hear from
him before midnight. 1 have also
wired Barnett to warn the sheriff of
your presence here and that we are
guarding you. I think Don is with the
deputies. If he is he will see that this
cabin remains outside the field of op?
eration."
"Where is Captain MunroV"
"His vedettes are camped on the
north slope, but may engage the enemy j
at any moment* for Jack is quite as
eager as the sheriff to win first blood, j
If it wore not for the possible injury j
of innocent men and women I would [
say let them light it out Each camp j
ls Quite :>??: crozv Rnd ISW1**SS oa tv?? ' '
other. JNOW you nave the truth. "I bave
concealed nothing from you. I will
even tell you that Munro has promised
to come down for a final conference
with the independents and that we are
still hoping to persuade him to leave
the camp."
The sick boy stirred uneasily and
called faintly, and Ann went to him
and bent above him tenderly. "Here
I am, Buddie. Are you better?"
"Oh, I'm so hot! Take that blanket
off me."
Raymond looked at Ann. "Shall I
lighten his load?"
She shook her head as she put a glass
of water to the boy's lips. "What time
is it?" he asked as he fe-1 back upon
his pillow.
"Going on 10 o'clock." "
"Has the fight come off yet?"
Raymond was cautious. "No, the
camp is quiet."
He insisted on talking. 'T hope they
won't fight till I get over this .cold. It's
hard luck to be here. What day is it?
How long have I been sick? You
should have seen Jack when he rode
up and stopped the man!" In this way
his mind leaped and danced for an
hour, but he grew drowsy at last and
went away into sleep.
Ann spoke first "Poor boy! He will
always feel defrauded to think he is
missing all the drama."
"Your father must have been such
another enthusiast. I liked his name
for you."
She colored. "That was the only
thing I had to reproach him for. I re?
proach myself now for not acquiescing
in it. I think it grieved him to have
me side with mother against it"
"It is a sweet name to me-Hesper."
He uttered it with the tenderness
which dwells in the voice of a lover,
and its letters sang together-but he
dared not look at her.
Raymond was hastening to apologize
for his temerity when the noise of a
galloping horse cut short his 3peech
and whitened Ann's cheek, so porten?
tous was the sound of haste at such
en hour. "I hope lhat is Jack," k said
the miner, and hastened to th? door to
meet and silence Munro, who entered
with studied effect and, removing his
sombreroT "bowed very low to "Ann.
"Good evening, haughty princess.
How's the kid?"
Ann, relieved to find the flying mes?
senger an expected though unwelcome
visitor, replied pleasantly, "He's bet?
ter, thank you."
A covert smile curled the handsome
lips of the young leader as he glanced
from Raymond to Ann, and something
in his bearing puzzled the girl. When
he spoke again, with a growing delib?
eration, she perceived that he was in
liquor.
"You mustn't be alarmed-these are
rough times, but" you'll be protected.
Battle's comin' off this time, sure
thing. We move or? th? er!Arry at day?
break. Sit down. Do;:': stand in my j
presence/'' he raided, with a c?mica? j
tV\ ist Of his lips. ;
Arm turned with a startled glance
to Raymond. *;.*:: o geiiiuilr.said:. "Sm
glad you came down, Jack. I want
you to hold a conference with the in?
dependents."
Munro stiffened. '"No time for con
f'rence. No time to talk with any
one. I just came down to say howdy
to the lady, that's ali. Understand?"
His voice rose. ,
Raymond lifted a warning hand.
"Quietly, ole man, don't disturb the
boy. Let's go find Kelly."
Munro's face grew sullen. "Don't
want to see Kelly^don't want to see
you. I've come to see the lady." He
faced Ann again. "I'm going into bat
tie. May be killed tomorrow. Had to
say goodby. I may not see you again.
To Raymond's great relief Kelly, who
had heard Munro arrive, appeared at
the door. His manner was "easy and
his voice low as he greeted the intrud?
er. "Hello, Jack! How goes the Na
poleonic business?"
Munro turned with darkening brows
and labored to be gloomily impressive
"Got 'em scared, all right. They're
meditating retreat this minute."
Keily laid a hand on his shoulder
"Lad, you need sleep. You're worn
out."
Raymond, with a significant look at
Matt, turned as if to stir the fire, a
movement which brought him behind
his visitor.
Munro put his hands in his pockets
and laboriously explained: "Been try
in' to keep awake on whisky. Trifle
shot this minute, askin' Lady Ann's
pardon."
Raymond's right arm encircled the
young leader's waist, pinioning the
deadly right hand to his side, while
Kelly, seizing the almost equally skill?
ful left, whipped the young desperado's
revolver from his belt
For a moment the fangless rattle?
snake was bewildered. "What you
mean, Rob?" he asked ominously.
"Come outside, Jack. Don't make a
row-for the lady's sake. We want to
talk to you."
"Let go o' me," he retorted, writhing
in Raymond's clutch. In the midst of
this he grinned at Kelly. "I know
these arms. What's your game. Rob?"
"Come outside and I'll tell you,"
pleaded Raymond.
The sodden brain of the reckless
leader was waking up again, and, with
a hov.- to Ann, he said: "Sorry to 'sturb
you, but I must take these men outside
and kill 'em. See you again sion."
Raymond released his prisoner and
stepped through the door in advance of
him, but as Munro followed and stood
for an instant on the step, peering into
the darkness. Raymond seized him
again and,with a furious twist, threw
him to the earth and fell upon him in
a terrible struggle. Matt, mindful of
Ann and the boy, closed the door. The
girl, not daring to look out, could only
stand with nerveless limbs and pound
lng heart and listen. Once the desper- ! *
au? man uttered a gasplug snarl, but lt I .
was cut short by a merciless hand, and j *
nil was still. Then her composure gave
way. r
[TO SS oomorcJCD.] , F
XEW YORK FASHIONS.
Xew York, N. Y., October 12.-A
search through attics or long for
treasurers that can'now be utilized, as
almost every material except crepon is
in demand. In silks, plain, dotted,
striped, figured, changeable, checked
or plaided, all are stylish and the
greater variety of colors combined,
the more desirable. If not enough
for a waist, straps across the shoul?
ders (in bretelle or suspender style)
over a thin waist, such as dotted net,
plain net, sheer embroidery or lace, is"
the very latest idea for evening waists.
An epaulet falling on the arm may be
made in any way that looks well, and
a belt, of similar material keeps the
straps and epaul?t in proper position.
Black ribbon velvet as if in revenge
for long neglect, trims dresses, waists,
neck fixtures, and for the purpose
mentioned just above, is singularly
attractive-the straps connected by
black silk cord, or very narrow vel?
vet ribbon. Colored velvet is equally
desirable for this purpose. Black
lace, with a handsome edge over silk
dotted net falls in with the still pre?
vailing fancy for black and white.
Batiste embroidery threatens to rival
.lace, and as elbow sleeves are still
universal with dressy waists, the
quantity of material required is con-,
sjderably lessened. Ribbon of every'
hue and pattern may trim a hat, form
wristlets and bows on elbow sleeves, or
if flowered, make a high belt?, or a bit
of plaided silk cut a moderate width
and hemmed is the newest necktie.
Braid and passementerie of all de?
scriptions are in style, and a short
suit jacket is often trimmed with
braid, while the skirc is plain. Colored
embroidery (machine made) in a nar?
row band on the front of^a sombre
* v
waist or jacket gives the garment an
entirely different air, and clusters or/
rows of small gilt, enameled or steel
bifttons lend efficient aid. Plaided
braid is a novelty, but should be used
with discretion, as is the case with
gilt braid, as an overplus of either re?
sults in a gaudy effect Folds of anoth?
er material are often seen on Expen?
sive costumes, and of lace there is no
limit to its variety.
Cloaks are long and show no radical
diiference from those of last winter.
Much braiding or passementerie trim?
ming is used in the back, and some?
times lac?*, but braiding is newer,
therefore more popular. They are in
very light tan, white cr gray; for
,.r!..??. persoins! or may be used for
; veoing by any one., but unquestiona?

have tlr-own the long beaver cloak
somewhat into the shade. Rainy-day
cloaks are rubber lined silk of the
brighetst hues-gay plaids, or crim?
son or blue silk, with large brass hut?
tons down the front
A skillful combination of color is
now the ambition of the designer in
all branches of the sartorial art, and
millinery oftentimes shows the inter?
mixture Of six or seven shades. It is
not unusual to see four clusters of
grapes, each of a different hue on a
colored beaver, or blue ribbon and
pink and crimson roses on a. black hat
Just now it seems as if the large hat
had carried the day, but they will at
ill events be foremost for dressy wear
Dh all high class millinery houses, out
3f ton hats, eight are large. That is
an important fact, as the large' ones
ire more expensive. Chicken feathers
now replace the peacock plum?
age of the Spring, and is . usually
absurd. Massed at the side of a hand?
some hat, they are termed "stylish."
