Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-12-22
CHAPTER Ill.

Mr.. Brattle, when he left home, was
accompanied by a stout but active gen
tleman, little past the prime of life,
whom he addressed as Mr.. Andrews.
They strolled as far as the company's
breaker without seeing anybody, and
stood chatting in its shadow for a few
minutes. Then they started up the road
toward the miners houses. Thick cloud
patches drifting across the sky made the
moons bright light ftful. 1t was in a
moment when her radiance made every
thing almost as clear as day that they
left the shadow, and hardly had they
taken a dozen steps in the open road
when they heard in the air above them a
burst of Slavonic execration, coupled
with Mr.. Brattle's name On a high
trestlework supporting a car track were
three Slavs, looking like giants up there
in the moonlight, who instantly began
with unpleasant expertness of aim, hurl
ing Jumps of coal and heavy iron mis-
siles at them.
run for your life, Mr.. Andrews
exclaimed the superintendent, leaping
back into the breakers shadow; "you
can't reason with those animals. Hide
before they climb down, or we will be
lost"

ago, when he acted as guide for Miss
Mary Brattle and three or four other
visitors through the intricate depths of
the Black Eagle mine.
Clearly it was an imperative neces-
sity that he should, for her sweet sake,
warn her father against the murderous
Slavs. He did not shut his eyes to the
fact that a striker who made himself in
anywise prominent, even by the doing
of conspicuously good deed, was pretty
certain to be marked man and made
to suffer for it when the strike was
ended.
The road he took was a rough and dan
gerous path over the mountain, but en-
abled him to reach the superintendent's
house, which lay about half mile be-
yond the breaker, with but little risk of
being seen by any one who might take
exception to his mission.
There were no lights in Mr.. Brattle's
windows when Hugh reached there, for
the hour was late, but his first timid tap
with the brass knocker on the door
brought as an immediate response the
demand in a feminine voice from win
dow opened behind closed blinds:
"What is wantedT
He recognized the sweet voice. and his
own trembled a little as he replied, "Is
Mr.. Brattle at homer"
"No; Mr. Brattle is not at home," and
the speaker slightly opening the Stats to
peep out exclaimed, "Oh, it's you, is it,
Mr. Corrigan?"
Delighted astonishment at that recogni-
ton SO overwhelmed the young man
that he could not exactly take in the

CHAPTER II.

Mr.. Corrigan was right. Hugh knew
bv experience-as thousands of coal
miners have been compelled to learn
that scanty breakfast of cornmeaI
mush daily would keep him alive, and
that was all he proposed to take from
the family's meager supply until the
hard times should be over.
But something else kept him abroad
just now. Strange, revolutionary ideas
floating about filled him with anxiety.
"The rights of labor have too long
been ignored. If justice is not peace
fully accorded by capital, it must be

"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, MR.. ANDREWS"
Swiftly they ran around the breaker
to where number of coal cars were
crowded together on tracks near the
mouth of the "incline," or tunnel, pene-
trating the depths of the mine Into one
of these they clambered, and laid them
selves flat down in the snow and coal
CRIME on its bottom. Trestlework over
head made all here obscure. Hardly
were they hidden when they heard their
pursuers running, stumbling, painting
and cursing, after them"
The fellows were at loss where to
look for their intended victims. They
held their breaths and listened. All was
still. They sought tracks, but the snow,
trampled before by many feet, betrayed
nothing. A few of the cars were peered
into, but those were evidently deemed
too open to be probable hiding places,
and search in that direction was only
cursory and Ineffective. At the mouth
of the incline they stood and jabbered,
evidently agreeing upon that as the
shelter the hunted men had found. 1t
was likely place. An armed man there
might, in that darkness, kill dozen
following him.
Double tracks, l,700 feet long, were
laid down in the incline for loaded cars
to come up on one side while empty ones
descended on the other. On these tracks
the murderous Slavs placed two cars
abreast, fastening across their fronts by
chain stout beam, long enough to
tha 14l I
and inevitably crush any one lurking
there when the ponderous engine of de-
struction was launched. One of the cars
used for this purpose was next to that
in which the fugitives lay concealed
Just when they were about setting their
internal contrivance III motion one of
them called halt and made some pro-
position, to which his companions seemed
to accord enthusiastic assent. Then he
ran away and was gone full half an
hour, while they remained on guard.
He brought back with him a tin can,
such as those in which the "oil well
shooters" carry nitroglycerin. This
they ingeniously fastened lightly before
the crossbeam in such position that
it would surely be knocked off if the
timber were at all displaced by touching
anything.
Slowly and laboriously they pushed
the joined cars forward to the verge of
the slope, when the mass moved by its
own weight with momentarily accel-
Grating momentum. The moment it
started they ran swiftly and silently
away. Up from the throat of the mine
came dull rumbling, quickly increas-
ing to a roar, which eliminated in ter
rife explosion that seemed to shake the
mountain. The car containing Mr.. Brat
tie and his companion was tipped on its
side, throwing them out, but fortunately
without hurting them.

stool and put her stocking ON the man
tel, with a chunk of coal on its toe and
the top dangling down-an excellent
symbol, Mr.. Brattle thought, of the
miners prospects in life.
'Do, pease, good Mr.. Sanity Taus,
bring us sumfn to eat anyway" she
said pleadingly, clambered down and
toddled off to bed. Presently they heard
her whimper, "Oh, is so told;" then all
was still.

WHAT IT REALLY IS.
The Most Dangerous of Modern Disorders

The Most Dangerous of Modern Disorders
Clearly Defnsd-PneumOnia and What
Causes Ii.
There has been great mistake as TO what
pneumonia really is. People, and even some
physicians. have called IL a dangerous disease
Pneumonia is always an after effect. If the sys-
tom is run down, weakened, debilitated, il the
life is at a low ebb, the lungs may fill up and
the person die suddenly, and 1t is called pneu-
monia. No man or woman ever died OF pneu-
monia when the body was strong vigorous aud
healthy. 1t comes upon one when weakened by
grip by a severe cold or overwork and gener-
ally weakened condition. Such being the case
how can this dreadful trouble known as pneu
monia be prevented or warded off? Manifestly,
by strengthening and fortifying the body by
having the health and strength so secure that
pneumonia will not attack or II II should. can
easily be wsrded off. This can be done by care
full living, careful diet and moderate use of a
pure stimuant. To gently assist nature stimu-
liant is required, something that adds 10 the life
and vigor. Nothing for this purpose can equal
pure whiskey, and it should be borne in mind
that the only pure medicinal whiskey which has
received the unqualified indorsement Of physi-
clans and scientists is Duffy's Pure Malt. 1t is
no ordinary whiskey, but possesses properties
known to no other article. Ii will effectualIy
ward OIL pneumonia and has saved the lives of
thousands OF people. 1t should be remembered,
however, that II is the only whlskey which can
accomplish this, and any druggist or grocer
who seeks to convince you to the contrary is de-
ceiving Insist upon having Dutfy's Pure Malt

GALL FOR A STATE CONVENTION

OF the woman's Christian Temper
ance Union in Muedgeville.
The 10th annual state convention Of the
Womau's Christian Temperance Union of
Georgia will be held in Milledgsvills, In the

ecutive committee will meet at the same
place on May 10 at 8 o'clock a m. Every
union in the state is earnestly requested to

resentati yes from other temperance organi-
cations OF the state and from missionary
societies, Christian Endeavor, Kings
Daughters and other societies for the up
lifting of humanity and saving OF souls.
Believing in the power of the church and
coming of evil we ask that the pastors OF the
churches and their congregations through
out the state observe the
THIRD SABBATH OF MAY
as day of special prayer and service for
the temperance cause, and that at one serv-
Toe collections may be taken and contribu-
tlons solicited for the same. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Onion is members of
ell the churches working together for God
ana home AID humanity, and they ask the
prayers, the help aud the blessings Of the
church upon their efforts.
The homes of Milledgeville will kindly
furnish entertainment for the delegates,
and they are requested to send IN their
names as early as possible to Mrs. D. S.
Wootten, at MiledgevIlle
1t is hoped that the railroads will allow
the usual reduced rates Of one-third on re-
turn tickets, and delegates are requested to
secure certificates when purchasing tickets
on leaving home, and see that they are
signed by the secretary of the convention.
As reduction of rates may depend upon
100 delegates" the unions should secure as
large an attendance as possible, aud bring
sufficient funds for the emergency.
Mrs. Chaplin of South Carolina, Mrs.
Wells of Tennessee and Mrs DIR. FELTON, will
address the convention, and visitors from
other states may be present
Delegates are requested TO wear the white
