limit aay a word, Hlavlu, answer
ed Nixon hurriedly. "I know how you
fttrl. I've Kt a baby too. I want to
see It ait'ihi. Tluit'a why the break
hurt me bo."
"Ai GmVa oUive," replied Slavln ear
neatly, "I'll hinder you no more."
They aliouk banda, and we passed
out.
We lu Id the baby under the pines,
not fur from Hilly ltrcen, and tho tweet
uprlng wind blew tlirouuli the gap and
eiinie softly down the valley, whisper
ing to the pines and the grass and the
biding flowers of the new life coming
to the world. And the mother must
have heard tho whisper In ber heart,
for as the priest was saying the words
of the service she stood with Mrs. Ma
yor's arms lilxiiit her, find her eyes
were looking fur away beyond the pur
ple mountain tops, seeing what made
ber smile. And Slavln, too, looked dif
ferent. Ills very features sesmed finer.
The coarseness was goue out of his
fare. What had come to him I could
not tell.
But when the doctor came Into 81a-
vtn's house that night "It was the old
Slavln I saw, but wltb a loek of aucb
deadly fury on his face that I tried to
get the doctor out at once. But he was
bulf drunk, and bis manner was hid
eously humorous.
"How do, ludles? ITow do, gentle
men?" was his loud voiced salutation.
"Quite a professional gathering, clergy
predominating. I.lon and Inmb too!
Ha, ha! Which Is the lumb, eh? Ha,
bn! Very good! Awfully sorry to
hear of your loss, Mrs. Slavln. Did
our best, you know; can't help this sort
of thing."
Before any one could. move Craig
was at his side and, saying In a clear,
Oiui voice, "One moment, doctor,"
caught him by the arm and bad him
out of the room before be knew It.
Slavln, who hud been crouching In
his chair, wltb hands twitching and
eyes glaring, rose and followed, still
crouching as he walked.
1 hurried after him, calling him back.
Turning at my voice, the dia?tor saw
S lit v I it approaching. There was some
thing so terrifying In his swift, noise
less, crouching motion that the doctor,
crying out In feur, "Keep him off.'"
fairly turned and tied.
He was too lute. I.Ike a tiger Slavln
leaped upon blin and without waiting
to strike had him by the throat with
both lunula and, bearing him to the
ground, worried hi in there as a dog
might a cat.
Immediately Craig and I were upon
him; but, though we lifted blni clear
off the ground, we could not loosen
that two bunded strangling grip. As
we were struggling there a light hand
touched my shoulder. It was Futher
Uoulet
"I'lease let hltu go and starlU away
from us," he said, waving us back.
We obeyed..
He leaned over Slavln and spoke a
few words to him.
Slavln started as If struck a heavy
blow, looked up at the priest with fear
In bis fin e, but still keeping bis grip. -
"Let blin go," said the priest.
Slavln hesitated.
"I-ct him got Quick!" said the priest
again, and Slavln, wltb a snarl, let go
his hold and stood sullenly facing the
priest.
Father Goulet regarded him steadily
for some seconds and then asked;
"What wuttld you do?"
His voice was gentle enough, even
sweet, but there was something In It
that chilled my marrow.
"What would you do?" he repeated.
"J 1 0 murdered my child," growled
Slavln.
"A hi How?"
"He was drunk and poisoned him."
"Ah! Who gave him drink? Who
made him a drunkard two years ago?
Who litis wrecked his life?"
" There was no answert and the even
toned voice went relentlessly on:
"Who Is tho murderer of your child
now?"
Slavln groaned and shuddered.
"!o!" And the voice grew stern.
"Iieient of your sin and add not an
other." Slavln turned his eyes upon the mo
tionless figure on the ground and then
nion the priest.
Futher (ion let titok one step toward
him and, stretching out his hand and
pointing with his Anger, 'snld:
"tlo!"
And Slavln slowly backed away and
went Into his house. It was an ex
traordinary scene, and It Is often wltb
me now the dark figure on the ground,
the slight, erect form of the priest witi
outatretcbed arm and finger, and Sla
vln backing away, fear and fury strug
gling In his face.
It was a near thing for the doctor,
however, and twit uiinutes more of
thai grip would have done for blin.
As It wan, we had the greatest dinVol
ty In reviving him.
Wbat the prlcat did with Slavln aft
er getting him Inside I know not that
has always been a myntwy to me but
when we were pushing the saloon that
night after taking Mrs. Mavor boiue
we saw a light and heard strange
sounds within. . Entering, we found
another whisky raid la progress, Sis
vln himself being the raider. We stood

some liniments Watching him knocking
In the henda of casks and emptying
bottles. 1 thought be bad gone mad
and approached him cautiously.
"Hello, Slavln!" I called out. "Wbat
does this mean?"
He panned In his strange work, and I
aw that his fai-e, though resolute,
was (julet enough.
"It means I'm done with the bust
ness, I am," be said In a determined
voice. "I'll help no more to kill any
man, or," in lower tone, "any man's
baby."
The priest's words bad struck home.
"Thank God. Slavln!" said Craig, of
fering his band. "You are much too
good a man for the business."
"liood or bad, I'm done with It," be
replied, going on wltb bla work.
"You age throwing away good uioa
ey, Slavln," I said as the bead of a
cask crashed In.
"It's myself that knows It, for the
price of whisky has gone up In town
this week," he answered, giving me a
look out of the corner of bit eye. "Be-
dad. It was a rare clever Job," refer
ring to our Black Kock hotel affair.
''But won't you be sorry for this?"
asked Craig.
"Belike I will, and that's why I'm
doing It before I'm sorry for It," be re
plied, with a delightful bull.
"Look here, Slaviu," said Craig ear
nestly, "If I can be of use to you In any
way, count on me."
"It's good to' me the both of you
have been, and I'll not forget It to
you," he replied, with like earnestness.
As we told Mrs. Mavor that night,
for Craig thought it too good to keep,
her eyes seemed to grow deeper and
the light in them to glow mure Intense
as sue listened to Cralg pouring out
bis tale. Tbeu she gave him ber baud
and said:
"You have your wan at last."
"What manr .
"The man you have been waiting
for."
"Slaviu?"
"Why nutr.
"I never thought of It
"No mure did ho or any of us." Then,
after a pause, she added gently, "He
has been seut to us."
' !o you know, I believe you are
right," t'rarg suid slowly and then add
ed. "But you always are."
"I fear nut," she answered, but I
thought she liked to hear his words.
The whole town was astounded next
morning when Nlavlii went to work In
the mines, and its astonishment only
deepened ns the days went on and he
stuck to his work. Before three weeks
hud goue the league bod bought and
remodeled the saloon and bad secured
Slavln as resident manager.
The evening of the reopening of 81a
vln a saloon, as It was still called, was
long remembered lu Black Rock. It
was the occasion of the first appear
mice of the League Minstrel and Dra
uiatlc troupe In wbut was described as
a "hair lifting tragedy, with appropri
ate musical selections." Then there
was a grand supper, with speeches and
great euthUHlnam, which reached its
climax wben Nixon rose to propose the
toast of the evening, "Our saloon." Hla
speech was simply a quiet, manly ac
count of his long struggle with the
deadly enemy. When he came to speak
of his recent defeat, be said:
-"Anu, wmie i am blamln no one
but myself, I am glad tuulght this sa
loon Is on our side, for my own sake
and for the sake of those who have
been walttn' long to see me. But be
fore I sit down I want to say that
while I live I shall not forget that I
owe my lire to tne man mat took me
that night to bis own shack and put
me In his own bed and met me next
mornln' wltb an open band, for I tell
you I had sworn to God that mornln'
would be lay last."
Geordle's speech was characteristic.
After a brief reference to the "myste
rious ways o Providence," which h
acknowledged be might sometimes fall
to understand, be went on to exprest
his unqualified approval of the new
saloon.
"It's a cozy place, an' there's nae sul
phur a boot. Besides a' that," be went
on enthusiastically, "It'll be a terrible
savin'. I've julst been cooutlu'."
"You bet!" ejaculated a voice, wltb
great emphasis.
"I've Julst l?en coontln'," went on
Ceordle, Ignoring the remark and the
laugh which followed, "an" It's an awfu'
like money ye pit ower wl' the whusky.
Yo see ye canna dae wl' ane bit glass.
Ye in a nit hae twa or three at the verra
least, fur It's uo verra forrlt ye get wl'
ane glass. But wl' yon coffee ye Julst
get a saxpence worth an' ye want na
malr."
There was another shout of laughter.
which puzzled Geordie much.
"I dinna see the Jowk. but I've slip
pit ower In whusky mair nor a hnnnei
dollars."
Then be paused, looking bard before
him and twitting his face Into extraor
dinary shapes till the men looked at
him In wonder.
"I'm rale glad o' this saloon, but It's
ower late for the lad that canna b
tielplt the uoo. He'll Out be need In'
help o' ours, 1 doot, but there are Ith
ern." And he stopped abruptly and tat
down, with no spplause fol'oTvlng;.

Future improvements in farming

we knowtbat we must keep up

which has just lieen given in the coal
strike. Some of tho newspapers are
wying that the victory in bringing
the strike to a settlement on the pre-
sent term belongs to the operatives,
as they clung to their position of non-
recognition of the miner union to
the close, and no recognition has
been given in the arbitration. Others
contend that the miners'" were sue-
cm fill, lor thev will nrobablv tret
somewhat better term in the settle-
ment than they had hitherto. Then,
too. the principal credit for the settle-
ment ha been accorded to President
Rcorevelt, as he was the1 man who
Orst brought the waring leaders t3-
.ret her. Without his action an ad-
Justnieut would probably not have

brought the heads of the miners and
the employer face to face In hi own
presence, but betook especial pains
to impress upon Ihem the criminal
folly of allowing the conflict to con-
tinue, to the detriment of all tort of
business and the discredit of the
country.
B it, while freely according to tl.e

sentiment. The American people
were determined that the conflict
