the woman. The boy chung to his knee. He
took step forward. The Phantom slowly
retreated. The toiler came nearer the door.
Then he turned and kissed the fearful face
beside him, and put his foot over the thresh-
hold. The babe awoke with sharp cry.
.'Never mind. darling, we will have plenty
of bread tomorrow. 1 know you are hungry,
but papa says the strike is nearly won. Wait
just little longer-just a little longer"
1t was the same hopeful, trusting mother,
but, oh, how changed. The cheeks were wan
and sunken, the eye lacked lustre, the hands
were nerveless. The chubby boy had become
peevish and fretful. There was a half-fright-
ened look In his eyes as he listened close at
the door for a sound he seemed to expect.
"Will papa bring something for US to eat,
mammal" he asked. 'I'se so hungry. Why
doesn't papa kiss you like he used to,
mammal"
Never mind, dear; it will be all-all right
tomorrow"
The words ended In choking sob as the
babe was drawn close to the mothers breast.
There was a stumbling football on the stairs,
and then the door was suddenly burst open.
A blear-eyed, desperate-looking man pitched
in and threw himself IN a chair. His hair was
matted, and his shirt, open at the neck, show

There was an ugly scowl on his face as he
looked up and demanded: Anything to eat?''
"Why, no, Joe DEAR" was the patient re-
sponse, "how could get anything. cannot

''Striker' roared the man. '.Strike! Don't
talk to me Of strike. We have just had fight.
Get me some hot water, and wash this blood
from my head Quickl Don't stand there
whimpering. Put that baby down and get

Six weeks before those would have been
strange words, but they had become common
now, twice, thrice, yea dozen times between
sunrise and sunset.
II am not crying, Joe. Look at me, dear.
am not crying, dear. Wait. and will wash
the blood away"
These loving words appeared to incense
rather than appease. The man bounded from
the chair, and lifted his clenched fist above
the head of his wife. "Stop your saiveling," :"
he cried; ''stop it before r.
The boy, who had been hiding behind his
mothers skirts, darted out and stood in front

some Of these have become possessed of an
insatiate greed. and have seized upon the
finest fruits OF the earth as their own. They
have made an unequal division, and have

BIG PYTHIAN CAMP.

Chairman Srnithmeyer Selects the South
Side Of the Monument for the Location.
Matters in connection with the big Pythian
camp we're discussed at a meeting OF the COM
mittee on camp and camp grounds held yes
terday afternoon. Those present were Messrs.
Lawrence Gardner, Anderson. Cronie, Mock
bee, Medford, Goodhart, and Mccarthy.
Communications were read from the Pyth-
ian Sisters and board of control of the endow-
ment rank asking for the privileges OF erect
ing tents In the camp. Chairman Gardner
said he had referred both these communica-
tions to Gen. Canadian for his approval. be-
cause Mr.. Goodhart had informed him (Mr.
Gardner) that these organizations had no
right to ask for any such privileges.
In reply to advertisements for proposals to
erect an immense cafe on the drill grounds
the following persons had submitted bids:
Louis d. Best, W. II. Vaughn John A. Gray.
r. H. L. Trayman. W. T. Crump. and the
proprietor Of the Purcell cafe. The contract
will be awarded at later date
Mr.. Gardner stated that he had visited the
Monument grounds, where the camp will be
located. yesterday in company with Mr..
Smithmeyer. chairman of the subcommittee
in charge of the site for the camp. Col. Viii
son had given this committee the choice of
ground on the north and south sides of the
monument and Mr.. Smithmeyer had selected
the south side. There was room enough on
that side for the entire camp and Mr.. Smith
meyer will have diagram of streets and
avenues drawn and submitted to the COM
mittee at its next meeting
Mr.. Gardner also stated it had been thought
best to let Col. Wilson select the location for
the mess and sanitary tents. surface water
pipe will probably be extended from Fifteenth
street to run through the main street of the
camp, and from that smaller outlet pipes will
be extended throughout the camp.
The question of policemen for the camp
was also discussed. and 1t was suggested
that Knights of Pythias of Washington who
are out Of employment should be employed
for watchmen. No action was taken on this
subject. and after half an hours session the
committee adjourned to meet next Thursday
afternoon.

YELLOW METAL AFLOAT.

Exports To-day Will Bring the Gold Re-
serve Down TO 1929, S26.
The outgoing steamers from New York will
to-day carry $500 900 in gold which was
yesterday and to-day drawn from the New
York sub-treasury for export.
This leaves the gold reserve at s55, ,223. 526,
or oyer 1000, 900 less than the lowest point
reached prior to the February bond issue.
The cash balance to-day was S124. $50. 439.
The Treasury officials exhibit no uneasiness
whatever over the rapid melting away of the
reserve. The fact that the available cash
balance remains practically unimpaired. and
the expectation that a tariff bill will soon
pass both houses of Congress and become a
law, are sources OF comfort at this time to
the Treasury folks
With the passage of tariff billthe officials
confidently expect a prompt revival OF trade
and corresponding increase in the customs
and internal revenue receipts. With renewed
commercial activity, return shipments of
gold, 1t is thought, would promptly set in and
continue until normal conditions are reached.

his hands. His breast heaved and he sobbed

Germ Of ALL Who is concerned about me and
mine? Who will make these bare rooms what
they were six weeks ago? No strikers need
apply is the sign pasted up alongside of the
shop door. oh, why did do it?''
These signs of returning reason emboldened
the wife to speak. ''Oh, Joe," she said, II
didn't dare to tell you when you were 50
cross. You don't appear to understood, but
look. Joe-looki'
She snatched the babe from the cradle and
held it out A faint smile was playing about
the little mouth. The breath came at long
intervals like long-drawn sigh.
"Baby is dying, Joe." she walled, as the
tears streamed down her face; dying, and
We have no medicine. no DOCTOR
The child gasped, family. Its face became
ashen and its great brown eyes took on the
gaze Of death. There was a gurgling sound
in the throat and all became still.
A shadow fell across the empty cradle and
the Phantom, rubbing its hands and smiling
sardonically, stood on the threshold.

responded the mother, smiling. "He Is very
strong, TO be sure, but I suppose there are
other men who are stronger"
Nope" persisted the loyal son OF his
father. "There isn't another man in the

too, for as he sat down beside his wife he put
his arm around her neck and kissed her.
Then the two looked into each others ewes
and smiled. 81 declare, Joe, you are as much
of lover as you were seven years ago." said
the little woman, How have things been
going at the shop?"
"Oh, all right" was the reply. "The strike
talk is still going on. Some of the boys are
in favor of going out in sympathy with the
railroad men,
"But you're not, Joe," little anxiously.
'Well. 1 don't know" answered Joe.

The wife remained silent for moment.
She fairly idolized her strong, manly nus
band, and her confidence in his Judgment was
implicit. Still she had her own womaniy
way OF reasoning out things, and she
couldn't exactly understand why her husband
should voluntarily throw up his job and cut
of his income. "Still you know best. dear"
she said after she had ventured the opinion
that they would be obliged to draw on their
little account in the savings bank If he went
on strike with the rest. "We have each
other, and we have the babies, so do what
ever you think Is right"
At that moment a shadow fell athwart the
cradle. The babe turned uneasily in its
sleep and gave little moan. The chubby
boy dropped his blocks which he had taken
again, and looked inquiringly at the door.
Husband and wife glanced up. Standing on
the threshold was phantom.
