surprise Of q discovery, to be followed
by some drawing sheer or vapid jest.
On the whole, if she had been asked her
opinion of Ralph Monckton, she would
have answered that she despised him.
But, as she discovered, at some period
Of his life he had read much and
thought deeply; he had travelled extern
sively and observed acutely, and when,
at rare intervals, he consented to talk
he talked well and interestingly. He
piqued her curiosity; he was a perplex-
ing problem, which accounts for the
fact, no doubt, that she came to expect
his afternoon visits and to feel irritated
if by chance he failed to present himself.
During the first few days the great
strike at the Monckton mines pro-
crossed without incident. The men
maintained a resolute but orderly de-
meanor. and even the detested Joyce
was allowed to go and come without
molestation. But as their scanty saw
ings began to give out, and want, the
inevitable accompaniment Of such q
struggle, showed its grim visage in
their poor homes, the first symptoms Of
serious trouble manifested themselves
in petty depredations on the property
of the owner. One night the grounds
Of the Monckton mansion were invaded
and the flower beds trampled into ruin.
On another valuable young orchard
was destroyed. Fences were thrown
down, cattle turned loose, and q hun
dred such outrages were perpetrated,
trivial in themselves, but indicating the
growth of spirit of dangerous law
lessness.
Joyce fumed, investigated and threat
ened dire Vengeance without avail. The
men scowled or sneered in his face, and
even ventured on one occasion, while
he was haranguing a party in the vii
lage tavern, to hustle him, not without
damage to his clothing. His angry
complaints to his employer elected only
unsympathetic requests not to trouble
him with matters strictly within his
own province.
great indignation, "they have destroyed
your property. The garden, the Or
chard"--
Hang the garden and the orchard!
Have them repaired and set a watch
over them. Let out the dogs. Do what
ever you like. Why the deuce do you
bother me with these things?"
And the unhappy Joyce was COM
PEELED to retire in discontinue.

CHAPTER VII,

THE STRIKE AT MONCKTON MINES.
That night the employees of Monck.
ton mines held q stormy meeting. Mat
thew North was present, but, contrary
to his usual habit. spoke little and
without his customary violence. Il was
remembered afterward, however, that
the few words he did utter were barbed
with the bitterest irony, singing his
already dangerously excited compan-
ions into uncomfortable fury. At the
close Of the meeting John Turner and
Roger Tyler, two of his self constituted
lieutenants, Joined North in the road.
well, Matthew" observed Turner
in complacent tone. II hope you are
satisfied with the way we carried out
orders.''
YES" added Tyler. Matthew can't
find no fault this time"
II gave you no ORDERS" replied
North coldly. Il did not so much as
offer a word of advice"
"That's true" said Turner, scratch
ing his head, with a perplexed air. II
don't understand it. But, hang it all,
Matthew, you don't mean to say"-
II mean to say" interrupted North,
with sinister look, THAT if I gave no
orders also offered no opposition, and
whatever you and the men decide upon
as best for your common welfare you
will not find me in your way"
That's the talk" exclaimed Tyler
significantly. I'VE dent need it set
down in black and white, Matthew.
And it," continued North, with a
strange. mirthless smile, "our men are
sometimes unruly and should happen,
in their just indignation. to break q
head or two. Why. who can blame
them?"
The next day the employees of the
Monckton mines went out ON strike.
The demand Of the miners for an in
crease of prices and redress of griev-
ances, among which was the dangerous
condition of the oft mentioned Ten Foot
Drive, was peremptory, and the refusal
of tho overseer Joyce, acting for the

Matthew North g associates marked q
change in their friend and leader. He
had grown moody and taciturn. He
avoided companionship, and when off
duty shut himself in his dwelling and
would permit no intrusion. When at
work, he wrought with feverish energy,
as if he wished to crush down disturb
ing thoughts with sheer physical ex-
haustion. In his capacity of mine boss
he visited the Ten Foot Drive daily and
listened to the ominous sound of the
water behind the partition wall, with q
face Of deepening gloom. At times he
