dow. and his mother was waiting, her
heart in f1utter or fear. her face u pic
ture of despair. She was nearly i'll with
nervousness. The scene that followed was
dampener for Gordon. He liked to be
loved and cherished. Just as any lad who
Is healthy does, but being cuddleti, worried
over and made baby of was quite an
other matter. The end of all his hopes
came when his mother eXactcd a promise
that the work in the place should cease
and that the tools should be left with her,
and the door of the tunnel locked. Not
even the look of ,comniseration sent from
the eyes of Sterling could console him.
The following day young Gordon started
from his home to fetch the tools from the
mine.
AS lie gained the tunnel n storm burst
In fury. Flash after flash that filled the
very heavens, started directly above the
hill, while the boom and the clatter Of the
black artillery and infantry overhead was
fearful to hear.

implements in the mouth of the tun-

As he turned to leave for the final time
he suddenly discovered presence In the
mine. between himself and the entrance.
Two blazing eyes were glaring wildly
upon him a foot or more from the
rocky floor and less than fifty feet a way.
In the dim and sh adowy light that flickered
spasmodically In from the lightning flashes
the boy observed the wet and crouchins
form of a mountain Hon, huge in size.
Nearer came the wet and bIisihng crea-
ture, low crouchiDg in the tunnel and
weaving strange devices in the air with
its tail.
A thousand thoughts ran through young
Gordon's mind, but not a thing was feas-
fble-until a fearful plan was suggested.

The moon was scudding through a
mist that looked like tissue paper, and
she cast a mellow light ON the mountains
till they lost their ruggedness, in part,
and seemed inviting To the boy who
wended his way along and up a narrow,
steep ravine.

He slowly arose, as IL he were weary,

rock and dirt that ratified down at the

1t was a glorious day, and his vacation
had begun.

were In an evil plight. jocks father (for
five years cripple, owing to wounds re.
cciyeu in his country's service), had been
duped and betrayed ON all sides by cunning
Edinburgh lawyers, until every acre Of
the small estate whcreon he dweit stood
heavily mortgaged. Then 1T suddenly de-
vcloped that Capt. Fraser's own factor. or
lana agent, was the principal creditor, and
this treacterous man, eager to Lecomc
person OF property, had now forcclosed upon
his employer.
Its all up WI the Frascrs o Drumlie-
burn, Jock. unless we can raise n big
sum o. money before tomorrow night"
said the invalid soldier dolefully. as he
broke the news to his schoolboy sou.
Young Jock heard his father to the end.
"Why didn't you tell me before, dad?''
he exclaimed, taking the wasted hands OF
the laird Of Drunilieburn in his.
Capt Fraser sighed you're but a
iadde,'' he answered. What could you
have done TO help?'
Il could have kept watch on that ras-
cal, Shaw, at any rate said Jack. ITO
think of his eating your bread all these
'""-s and then playing you false as he has
done.'

not avail toward saving Drumlieburn; and

where the once stately gateway opened
upon the highway To Perth.

or bread, then on their heads will fall our
maledictions.
This county is the home of the con-
gresham of our state, the advocate of 30
cent wheat. He has steadily voted with
the gold crowd to bring about that condi-
ton. When we are selling SOC wheat how
are we going to buy the products of the
mills? We are now obliged to pay $22
per thousand for common building lumber:
SO per ton for coal. Will putting tariff
on and enhancing the price of such articles
enable the farmers to buy more of it?
The plain duty of the hour of farmer and
laborer is to stand shoulder to shoulder
in this fight and restore to coinage and
full money power the white metal In
this way falling prices will be arrested.
The value of farms and products will ad-
vance, and when we have money to spare
after paying taxes and living expenses we
will assist in opening the mills. This
course in my humble opinion must be
pursued. or the mills and factories will
remain closed permanently.

A SOUND LETTER,
Have the Right Spirit.

Editor Representatives:
l wish to God that every one Of us that
pretend to be in the reform parties had
the same noble spirit in us as the old
veteran and true warrior, Allen G.. Sexton
Hon. Comstock spoke here. There
were many Populists to hear him, and
they behaved like gentlemen. The even
ing after his speech Hon. E. E. Lommen,
the Peoples Party candidate for congress,
spoke to a much larger house than Mr..
Comstock had, and mostly all voters. Our
scribes and wise men of the law of the
Republicans found 1t necessary here, as
elsewhere, to get a lot of hoodlum boys.
The boys, as 1 suppose, were instructed
to disturb the meeting. but for all that Mr.
Lommen was the man for the occasion,
and made a convincing speech. full of
facts and figures, and right to the point
If nothing else can show the voters of
this state the weakness of the Republican
cause such conduct ought to be enough.
No one with the facts on his side needs to
resort to rowdyism, but the old saying is,
"A drowning man will catch at straws."
A word to the voters of the state: Get
up and do as the old veteran, Alien G.
Sexton is doing; tramp the country over;
talk and spread the light; do not let the
gold bugs scare you about the 50-cent dol
lars. II 1t was to their interest and not
yours you would not hear a word about
them. Now then, even IL 1t should be as
they say, that you had to pay two dollars
for one farmers would be no worse off, for
they admit that wheat and all other prod
ucts will go up and be twice as high as
they are now. Therefore you see that
