What will undoubtedly go down in the

tugboats has undergone all sorts of ex-

which, on account of fear of being be-
Gained, prefer to wait for the powerful
tugs to tow them up the straits.

OF the tug Wanderer to bring in the
strangest tow on record. After an unsuc-
cesstul search for a tow Bailey was re-
turning to Neah bay, where it is the Gus

moment occurred until the Wanderer was
about twenty miles off southwest of the
cape, when something unusual. resem-

that the supposed wreck was a dead

was something Signally suggestive in
their homage, and Medallion concluded
at last that it was paid not only to the
sister but to something that gave her
great Importance in their eyes.
He puzzled long, and finally decided
that LOuisOn had a romance. There
was something in the way they said
tlte LouisOn," in the way they avoid
ed all gossip regarding marriages and
marriage feasting, in the way they de-
ferred to her on a question of etiquette in
married life (as, for instance, should
the eldest, child be given the family
name OF the wife or a Christian name
from her husbands family which sug-
gested it. And Ptite Louison's opinion
was accepted instantly as final, with
triumphant and satisfied mods on the
part OF all the brothers, and with whis-
pers OF "How clever. how adorable,
such beauty
P'tite Louison affected never to hear
these remarks, but looked complacent-
" straight before her. stirring the spoon
III her cup, or benignly passed the bread
and butter She was quite aware of the
alteration in which she was held, and she
gracefully accepted the fact that she was
an object of interest.
Medallion had not the heart to laugl
at the homage Of the brothers, nor at
the outlandish sister, for though she was
angular and sallow and thin, and her
hands were large and red, there was a
something deep in her eyes, curious
quality III her carriage which command
ed respect. She had ruled these broth
ers. had been worshiped by them for
near half century, and the romance
they had kept alive had produced a gro
tessque sort of truth and beauty in the
admiring "P'tite LOuisOn," an affection
ate name for her greatness, like ''the
Little Corporal for Napoleon. She was
not little, either, but above the middle
height, and her hair was we'll streaked
with gray.
Her manner toward Medallion was
not marked by any affectation. She was
friendly in a kind, impersonal way, much
as a nurse cares for patient, and she
never relaxed a sort of old-fashioned
courtesy, which might have been trying
in such close quarters, were it not for
the real simplicity of the life and the
spirit and lightness of their race. One
night Florian-there was Florian and
Octave, and Felix and Isidore and Emile

MINES IMPORT MEN.
Gshpeming and Negaunee ShoVelmen
were Afraid to Resume
Work.

Ishpeming, Mich, Aug 30.-[Special.]
The Miners union decided at the meet
ing late yesterday afternoon to oppose
the operation Of the steam shovels at
the mines. The local shovelmen hsve
decided not to work, fearing molestation
by members of the union, and the com
panies will today send outside for shovel
operators. The shovelmen and many Of
the miners favor a resumption of opera
tons, but the proposition to return to
work was voted down by small ma
jority.
The companies expect to have new men
here by Monday or Tuesday, when the
shovels will positively be worked. The
different companies of the Fifth regi-
ment, Michigan National guard, are in
readiness to come to 1shpeming on short
notice in case their services are needed
The mine officials are very determined
and will operate the shovels regardless
of consequences. The strikers are hold

A Ghost Story.

J. Henniker Heaton tells an interesting
sequel to the most famous Australian
ghost story which came to his knowledge
as one of the prOprietors of the leading
New South Wales weekly, the Town and
Country Journal. One of the most ia
nous murder cases in Australia was dis
covered by the ghost Of the murdered man
sitting on the rail of dam-AustraIian
for horse pond-into which his body had
been thrown. Numberless people saw it.
and the crime was duly brought home
Years after, dying man making his con-
fession said that he invented the ghost
He witnessed the crime, but was threat
ened with death if he divulged it as he
wished to. and the only way he saw out
OF the ,lmpasse' was to affect to see the
ghost where the body would be found
AS soon as he started the story, such is
the power of nervousness that numerous
other people began to see it, until its
fame reached such dimensions that a
search was made and the body found and
the murderers brought to Justice.
