The woman stood a moment, leaning
with her. soap-eaten hands upon the
tubs edge, and looked after him with
tender eyes. Then she glanced at little
Gabe, six years old, and three-year-old
Lannie, who were playing under the
trees, and began washing again. 'He's
the best Of them ALL" she n1urmured as
she rubbed. Ills hearts as soft as a
girls; he'd help me more than he does
if he could. Oh, if his father had only
never done that awful thing to him!'
And tears slipped down her cheeks and
fell into the suds.
The boy stopped at a spring half way
down the bluff, and, filing the pals,
looked a moment at the mills back OF
the bay. Red-shirted 1ognen were
working with their nfsnt~}looks
among the brown ricks, their
sing-song cry of ''He-o-he-e-e!!' as they
lifted, coming III mellow waves across
the water with the long-clrawn, never
ceasing whine of the feeding saws.
Presently he labored back up the hill
with the water, and ,vhen the tubs
were filled and his mother had thanked
him gratefully, he sat down Oh 81 bench
near by and watched her drealnily.
"Mother,'' he said at last, ''do you
'spose We will always live here?'
Il hope not, dear"
:'Do YOU think ken ever go to worls

and kept on washing, feeling the clouc
that always hung over them grow
thicker with thought of all their help

''Yes," said the boy, after a little
silence, sit would cost lots; but mebbe

CHAPTER II,

CHAPTER H.
AS Paul Ar1nor crept back along the
ledge his heart beat very fast. Up and
down. in and out, painting, hurrying, he
passed above the turmoil Of waters.
Would they be there when he returned?
Oh, for wings, or even sound limbs! But
how came his limbs so hating? He did
not think of that now, with his father,
who had MANNED him, hanging there SO
near to death. Pity had turned the
noisome current Of hate aside, and he
was being carried forward OF the ever
saving, ever-healing stream Of love.
In few minutes, that seemed as
many hours, he came down upon the
beach. His blood was fairly leaping,
and he ran along the sand pitching for
ward in his laneness, and looking pal
lid and wild in the moonlight. a little
way beyond his fathers broken boat he
came to sort of landing. He remem-
bered having seen a rope there. Yes,
there it lay, coiled and wet, on the bow
of a. canoe. His face lit up and he
seized it with joyous cry. But it was
fastened to the boat! Instantly he fell
upon his knees, and began pulling and
Juggling at the knot, using both fingers
and teeth in his eagerness. But it was
sodden and solid, and would not yield,
Then he seized the nut on the lower
! end of the boat that held the rope, and
twisted it with all his strength. 1t
turned: and in a moment he had it OFT,
and, climbing upon the edge Of the boat,
he wound the rope about his shoulders
and hands and lifted hard. Suddenly,
as he strained the rusty bolt left it's
socket, and he plunged headlong from
the boats side upon the wet sand.
Scrambling up, and snatci1ing the rope,
he hurried down the beach. Without
waiting to take breath, or steady him
self, he plunged into the spray, and,
climbing above the surf. took his dam
gerous way across the head Onward
he went, creeping along the dripping
| ledge, with clouds Of mist rolling past
him up the cliff. and now and then the
moonlight breaking through upon him
As he approached the baetling point
that hid his father AMI the unknown
child from view he paused with flutter-
inc pulse and listened. No sound save
the long rolling crash OF tie incoming
surges met his ear Tremolingly lie
crept on round the point and looked
down: there they hung! and his heart
gave great leap at the sight. The man
with closed eyes seemed sinking down,
, but the child still held him fast about
the neck.

with warning voice. ''I'm come! I've got

Determination to Continue the
Strike and Wild Work Besides.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May 19.-The miners
OF she region demonstrated their inten-
ton to remain out in more than one
way to-day. Every effort was made by
operators to force the men in convention
to-day to vote to return to work.
But the work of the leaders IN an oppo-
site direction was too powerful, and
they voted to remain out to a man.
Every district in the region was repre-
sented, and each delegate is supposed
to have voted the sentiments of his
district. After stormy session a
resolution was presented and unani-
mouSly adopted, the convention
pledgIng itself to stand by the wage
committee in whatever it did, and to re-
main out. Several riots occurred this
evening. One man, striker, being
shot through the shoulder. The first
disturbance was caused by a deSerter
named Stieker, who had threatened to
shoot Peter Wise, the labor leader, and
was chased away, into q shed, only to
be rescued by the police after a hard
tight. Then Ike Grassland, another
deserter, hooted the crowd of strikers
and was driven into the Scottdale
works by the mob, fully LOCO men, that
was finally dispersed by having an
enormous hose turned on them. Not
twenty minutes after this the ug-
liest event of the day occurred.
Two deputies from the valley works
tried TO exert their authority over the
thoroughly-maddened mob. A rush
was made for the deputies, who backed
against fence. The next moment
shot was fired by deputy. and
striker. Peter Ghost,was hit through the
shoulders. The deputies we're trampled
under foot in moment, only to
be picked up and carried away by the
town policemen, covered with bruises,
while the mob fled before a deluge from
the valorouS fire department Soon
another rush was made by the mob and
the two deputies were taken from the
police and pounded and kicked until
covered with blood, presenting a fright
full sight. The deputies, who refused
to give their names, begged for mercy,
and, advised by the leaders, the strikers
allowed them to be taken care of

THE RAIN.

Everybody who lives in Minnesota and
has its progress and happiness at heart
may be glad this morning. The God
given rain is come, and the parched
earth is refreshed. This is more i'm
portant to the state ana to all the men
and women in it than any of the other
news which fills the GLOBES columns
this morning. For nearly month we
have lived under fearless sky, till the
bright promise of full crop which the
early season carried seemed bound to
end in serious disappointment. This
Immediate section of the country has
enjoyed an unusual degree of prosper
ity during the past year. Even when
the markets of the East were threatened
with panic in December, the smaller
towns Of Minnesota were we'll supplied
with money, aud what distress there
was in ST. Paul and Minneapolis
was due as much to the extreme caution
of our banking institutions as to any real
reason for limiting accommodation. Spec
ulative enterprises have languished, to be
sure, but the legitimate business enter
prises of every quarter of the state have
for many months past reported their
trade good and collections easy and sat-
isfactory. The weather could not have
been better than it was at seeding time,
and until the pitilesS succession of sun
shiny days began in the middle of
April a feeling of the highest buoyancy
and hopefulness prevailed among our
people. This will again be renewed
this morning, as the telegraphic ac-
counts Of the grateful showers are
noted by our readers, and we will take
courage. one and all, against the future.
We live in favored land, where are
brave men and where Nature is in her

WHY NOT PAINT2

A tenant of house on pleasant resi-
dence street in this city desires the
landlord to relieve its somewhat faded
exterior by coat or two of fresh paint.
The owner replies that the cost of paints
is now so high that he will have to raise
the rent if the occupant insists upon the
desirable freshening of the house.
Whether the man in this case is or no
unduly conservative financially, the adj
vance in the cost of the Frightening
materials has no doubt prevented many
from adding to the attractions of their
property in this way. The MCKINLEY
act, which its partiSans insist is to bene-
fit everybody and become popular as
the fabrications thrown about it are
torn away, has added to the cost of the
painting material. Leaving out any
question of labor, it costs now more
than twice as much to paint house in
this country as it does in England. This
is on account of the duties on the ma
terlals and the action of the trusts that
the duties enable to control the prices.
The oils and leads are lavishly pro-
tected. Under the old tariff the duty
on linseed oil was 25 cents a gallon, or
near - per cent. This was sufficient to
exclude importations and give the trust
exclusive possession of the home mar
ket. 1t was even able to put up the
price about 40 per cent, without bring
ing in the foreign article to hamper the
infant industry. This does not seem to
have been one of the cases in which the
theory is illustrated that a high tariff
lowers the price of the home prod
uct, for the trust was able to put up the
price from 50 to 81 and 81 cents per
gallon. Still, the trust was not sat
isfied, and induced Mr.. MCKINLEY to
raise the duty from 25 to 80 cents gal
Ion, although the foreign article was
shut out. This large factor in the COM
position of paints is now raised about
100 per cent in cost by virtue of the
tariff. White lead is the other chief
element. The duty in the old tariff was
three cents a pound, or about 73 per
cent. This s-was the extravagant war
tariff figure. Many Republicans urged
reduction in the framing of the Nc
KINLEY tariff, as there was trust that
virtually controlled the production.
The theories sometimes advanced by
Republican statesmen that duties
should be reduced on articles controlled
by trusts were suggested to the trainers
of the new tariff, but to no purpose.
Those who would paint their residences
this spring must pay large tributes to
the trusts shielded by the high tariff.

CoNTEsTING DELEGATION.

The Alliance state central committee,
whose chairman is c. PHELPS and whose
secretary is A. WARREN, has sent dele
cation and manifesto to Cincinnati,
and will try to force an entrance for
both of these into the convention, even
against the opposition of l. DoNNELLY
and the other Minnesota farmers who
are already there.
Their delegation is good one, and if
the Cincinnati convention knows what
it is about it will not shut the doors
against Miss f. MCDONALD and her as
sociates. There will not be man in
the body with a deeper voice or home
lier and more effective eIoquence than

1t is possible that some Of the side

Coliseum is a four-story building 622
feet long and 52S wide, covering about
seven and half acres. That

in other structures. This spoli-
alton has been stopped only in the
present generation. There is enough
of the building left to make its removal

guns of the country, like TALMAGE,

duction is estimated at S40,O00,OCO, in

NAVAL,CADETs WANTED.
The Navy Department Worrying
Over Lack Of Mountainous

WASHINGTON. May 19-The navy de-

small number of cadets who have been
nominated to appear at the naval acad-
edy for examination. The majority of the
members of the house of representa-
tives, who have the privilege of nomi-
mating these cadets, have failed to send
in the names of their candidates, and
but twenty-six boys have appeared at
the Annapolis academy for examina-
ton. This will result in an unusually
large examination class next Septem-
Der, by which date the vacancies must
be filled. 1t is regarded as highly
desirable that the cadets should have
the benefit of the experience at Annap-
oils and on the practice cruise to be
gained between May and September to
tit them for the more serious course of
instruction which begins in the fall, so
that there is a possibility that the de
partment will recommend to congress a
change in the system of nominations to
secure this object.
