A strange mix Of mankind took place
at the worlds labor congress in Chica-
go. There was Miss Grace Dodge of the

ltoo, was DR.. Zacher of Berlin, a learned
German professor, while here and there
were scattered Carroll Wright. United
States labor commissioner; Henry
George, Felix Adler, Tom Mann. the
London labor agitator; Victor Delahaye
of Paris; Walter Besant, the novelist;
Anne L. Diggs, one of the Kansas farm

the reputation of being the ablest col

were at once more brains and more

A Prospector's Luck.

J
We were camped alongside of an
emigrant train in Nebraska, and just
after supper woman about 40 years
of age, who was smoking a pipe,
came over to our fire and sized the
crowd up and said :
"Pve got suthin' to say. I'm
plain-spoken woman. When I've got
a thing on my mind l don't beat
around the bush.
We looked at her with curiosity and
surprise and she leaned against the
wheel of a wagon and continued :
'sPve bin a widder for three years.
Over thar I've got span of nevis, a
good boss, new wagon filed with
housekeepin' stuff and | can rake up
about $50 in cash. cum along with

woman. If thar's a critter among
you who wants to get married let him

Tie eleven of us promptly stood
up.
"Git inter line she continued.

after beauty or educashun, but
can't take up with fellow who'd
scare wolf to DEATH"
She passed down the line and then
returned half way and said to md
dle-aged man named Remington =
"You'll do, l reckon Thar's a
preacher in camp, and 'twon' take fif-
teen minutes to settle things. All of
you as want to see the marrying come
on"
We followed the couple, who were
made man and wife inside of twenty
minutes, and next morning as we
passed the wagon on the road the
woman looked out and bowed and
said -
"Sorry fur the other ten of We, but
perhaps you'll meet up with another
train soon and strike luck"

CHAPTER XII.
IN THE HOUR OF NEED.

He stood there for moment looking
at the door, and then moved away, for
group of people was approaching, and he
wished to evade them. The city gate
leading to the orchards and to his own
house was nigh, and he went out into the
fields.
After walking awhile he came to his
mill, silent and dark by the riverside,
and then he thought that he would go
beyond and to his own dwelling and see
if he could spy out anything there. This
scouting savOred so much of the roman
tic and perilous that it was fascinating.
1t brought back his boyhoods dreams to
him and filled him with a queer sort of
dime novel heroism that Was positively
thrilling.
1t was within two hours of midnight.
The moon, which was in its last quarter,
hung almost over the horizon in the far
end of the canyon; the air was so still
that the soft murmur of the river came
clear to his ears as he stood in the shad-
ow of the trees and looked toward his
dwelling. Suddenly the silence was
gently stirred not broken by what
seemed to him as he listened, with a
| stilled pulse, the faintest, most distant
| chorus of voices.
AS a dream it seemed to come to him
from some faroff desert space, like
voices Of the stars. Yet he surely heard
it, faint, but clear, the air of "Annie
Laurie" sung by male voices in unison
and it seemed the sweetest sound he had
ever heard. 1t was for but a few mo.
ments that it was audible; then it sanb
away in the deepest silence, and he heard
his hearts loud beating. He looked VI
at the silent stars and caught his breath
What madness was this? Had he truly

She went in, and in moment old Bari
came out. There was a pale crescent
moon low in the sky, and its light fell
upon her face as she looked at him with
frightened gaze. He held up warn

height.

tell you for what came, and tomorrow
