load shot by. Mike had not heard her
,hoking cry or seen her gesture of an
yuish. Gathering herself up she stun
bled through the grass, past the trees,
that delayed her like idle, curious per-

of extreme distress; but by the time she
had rounded the loop by land Mike had
crossed II by water-as the bow-string
measures the bow, had landed his
freight under the bushes in the shade.
aud was already out of sight below the
over bend.
A wind was rising, spreading the
-apid GOODNESS that precedes summer
gale. The bushes were beating wild
", leaves and dust and blossom petals
we're flying, and a dark wind-track
streaked the meadows; but the waveless
river only shuddered and crept by in
silence.
Darcie was lying on his back, staring
at the green boughs overhead; the
soat lay over his chest, and its folds
perceptibly rose and fell. This was
Faiths first assurance that he breathed.
In the shock of so sudden, so com
olete release from so great fear, for
the moment she forgot her warning.
He looked at her stupidly at first,
then little wildly, and then with an
aager smile he flung his hand out to-
ward her upon the grass. Yet something
in his manner she missed-something
that she had looked to see on their meet
ing again; missed IL, and drew back
from her instructive first advances.
He knew her, but had placed her at
quaintance; all between was oblivion.
His love spoke, and his need of love, in
his dumb eyes; but he was silent,
troubled, and took nothing for granted.
IL was useless TO question him as tn
how he had arrived at this phase of his
condition. Investigating, as his nurse,
Faith discovered that there had been a
fresh hemorrhage from his wound; the
sleeve and breast of his shirt beneath the
coat were soaked with blood. Weak
ness, thirst and de,irium had followed,
but not fever, so far as she could Judge.
He was bareheaded, and she looked in
vain for his hat to, fetch him water in
the brim of it, as she had seen the hunt
ers do, but was forced to use her hand
kerchief, feeding him with drops
dripped between his lips. His face
and hands and all his clothing down Ia
front were grimed and scratched and
earth-stained, as though Beaver canyon
had been literally wiped up with him;
when he spoke his voice was rapid
muttering, devoid Of expression. There
was no hope that they could come to any
understanding now on those delicate
points that remained to be settled be-
tween them. This was a piteous COM
plication, that at this last hour before
the boat came in-the hour that must
decide how they should leave the boat
and meet on the other side of the lake.

alone could say it-he should be out
Of his senses, calling her Miss Faith,

At about half after seven O'Clock, as
the story of this evening goes. hand
car, black with men, came down the
track, and stopped within half mile of
Mission station. The number of men on
the car is not known. 1t is supposed
that they were assisted by others who
were expecting them at the Mission;
and these men, so it is said, were armed
with Winchesters sent down on the
prisoners. train. But all were armed,
in, one way or another, with weapons
furnished by the Miners union of the
Occur dAlene, or by their brothers of
Butte.
The hand-car brigade ran down the
track on both sides, and opened fire
upon the surprised groups at the sta
ton. One or two of them went through
the cars that stood upon the track,
shouting to the "scabs" within: "Git
out of here, you -" There was never
word too bad for "scab." They were
likewise driven forth from the shelter
of the hotel by the prudent landlord,
whose windows were being smashed by
bullets. The hounds were loud in the
mouth, but the sheep were silent and
ran. Some of them ran across the
track, and jumped into the river; some
struggled desperately through the long
grass of the Mission meadows. The
cool-headed ones hid in the grass, or
crept into the bushes, or made their
way along the shore in the shelter of
the river bank. OF the fate of those
who fed up into the wild defile called
Fourth of July canyon much has been
asserted and denied on both sides, but
little will lever be known; the canyon and
the river have been deeply questioned,
but they bear no witness, and they tell
no tales.

been hoping for this dividend on Wire
common for many days. Despite this fact
the stock has gradually declined many
points from its high price on account Of
the fear that the directors would fail TO
announce it. The expected happened yes

New York, June 23.-Today's excuse for
as to the action OF the directors of the
American Steel and Wire Company on the
dividend upon the common stock. The ex-
PLANTATION was very Indifferent one, but
still the bulk of spectators seemed to re-
gard the dividend as the matter OF the
first Importance in the general circum-
stances Of the day. II certainly overshad-
owed the other incidents OF the day. in
Guiding the dividend on the New York
Central and the engagements of gold for
export, which, by the way, were just one
half of the amount set forth in yester-
days board-room estimates.
There was no change in the dividend
rate on New York Central, and none had
been commonly expected at this time, but
the excellent statement of earnings for
the quarter and for the year gave promise
of better things later on. The company
will bring its fiscal year to close with
earnings somewhat in excess of 1-2 per
cent on the stock. while it has not yet
felt the full benefits of the arrangement
with the Lake Shore and Michigan Cen
tral companies. There did appear to be
some disappointment regarding the divi-
dend declared today, and the stock lost
part of an early advance, but it was still,

ket
Tomorrow's gold shipments viii aggre-
gate $1,000 900, four houses participating

there may be further exports in the COM
ing week The money market presented
unchanged aspects and was unaffected
alike by exports OF gold and losses by the
local banks in their dealings with the
subtreasury and the interior.
The day was quite bare of other news
or developments of particular import
ance.
The informal statement of the Steel and
Wire management in which their reasons
for declaring no dividend upon the COM
mon stock were set forth, was issued and
IL is to be hoped that they will be satis-
factory to those directly interested. The
reference to the pending litigation in re-
spect of the Federal Steel dividend was
not overlooked, and, indeed. it was taken
as throwing some light upon the applica-
ton for the injunction in that case The

The railway list was in the main firm, but
the only active trading was in the indus

and Wire, the price changes in the indus
trial stocks followed the technical in
fiuenees of the trading. The trading in the
last hour showed plainly the relief .felt
at the removal of the uncertainty in re-
gard to the Steel and Wire dividend.
Prices hardened throughout the list and
there was some increase in animation The
fact that Steel and Wire led in the re-
covery requires no particular comment.
