CHAPTER XII.

Opinion vas divided at Camp Merritt
as to whether Billy Gray should or
should not stand trial. Confident as
were his friends of his innocence of all
completely in Morton's escape, there re-
manned the fact that he had telephoned
for a carriage, that a carriage had come
and that a carriage with four men, ap-
parently soldiers, had driven rapidly
downward along Point Lobos n
1t was seen by half a dozen policemen
as it shot under the electric light OF gas
lamp. Then there was the bundle inside
his rolled overcoat that Gray had per-
eonally handed Morton when a prison
er. Everybody agreed he should have
sent it by orderly-everybody, that is,
except some scores of young soldiers in
the ranks who could see no harm in
it having been done that way, especially
two "Delta Sigs" in the -teenth. Then
there were the long conferences in the
dark. What did they mean: All things
considered, the older and wiser heads
would make no satisfactory explana-
ton of these to his colonel, he should
to a court-or take the consequences.

an ass of yourself, Billy" was Gofdon's

manders,on n after another, he feels that
he's got to prove that he isn't the only
fool in the business. You'd better en-
ploy good counsel and prepare for a

Cant afford it," said Billy, briefly,
~'and I'm blowed if I'll ask my dear old
dad to come to the rescue. He's had
to cough up (shame on your slang,
Billy far too much already. I tell you,
Gordon, I'm so fixed that I can't ex-

opened housekeeping in one of these
vacated homes, and all her witchery
was called into play to make it the
most popular resort of the younger ele-
ment at the post. Money she might
lack, but no woman could eclipse her
in the dazzle of her dainty toilets. The
Preside was practically at her feet be-
fore she had been established 48 hours.
Other peoples vehicles trundled her
over to camp whenever she would drive.
Other peoples horses stood saddled at
her door when she would ride. Other
peoples servants flew to do her bidding.
Women might whisper and frown, but
for the present, at least, she had the
men at her beck and call. Morn, noon
and night she was on the 60, the morn-
ings being given over, as a rule, to a
gallop over the breezy heights where
the brigade or regimental drills were
going on, the afternoons to calls, where
in it is ever more blessed to give than
to receive-and the evenings to hops
at the assembly room, or to entertain
ing-charmingly entertaining the little
swarm of officers with occasional angels
of her own sex, sure to drop in and
spend an hour. Cherry" played and
sang and made eyes, at the boys. Mrs.
Frank was winsome and genial and joy
Gus to everybody, and when Garrison
himself arrived from camp, generally
late in the evening, looking worn and
jaded from long hours at the desk, she
had ever a comforting supper and smil-
ing, playful welcome for her lord, maxi
ing much of him before the assembled
company, to the end that more han one
callow sub was heard to say that there
would be some in marrying, by
George, if a fellow could pick up a wife
like Mrs. Frank. All the same the post
soon learned that the supposedly blest
aide-de-camp ~breakfasted solus on what
he could forage for himself before he
mounted and rode over to his long days
labor at Camp Merritt. Another thing
was speedily apparent, the entente cor
dale between her radiant self and the
Primes was at an end, if indeed it ever
existed. She, to be sure, was sunshine
itself when they CHANGED to meet at
camp. The clouds were on the faces
of the father and daughter, while Miss
Lawrence maintained a serene neutral

A MINERS SUGGESTION.
That There Be an Actual
Test of Feeling About the Strike.

The following plan for testing the
actual feeling of the men with refer
ence to a strike has been handed in
for publication by miner, who has
been engaged in digging coal for a
number of years:
"The strike seems to be imminent.
Unless wise counsels prevail on Mon
day next the mine workers of the an
thracite coal fields will be called out.
The distress that this will cause cam
not be estimated. The damage and de-
struction to the business of this valley
that will ensue will be felt for years
to come. Can this not be averted? A
few hours of careful, thoughtful con-
sideration of this matter before II
takes place may prevent years of un-
availing regret If 1t does take place. In
the hope that it may be prevented, l
make the following suggestion to my
fellow workman. l am a miner Of
many years experience.
II know as well as any one can tell
me what it costs in sweat and toll to
earn a dollar l know what it costs in
misery and distress to my family to
want that dollar and not be able to
get it. We may or may not want a
strike. This, l think, we can decide
for ourselves in a very simple way.
My plan is this On Monday morning
next let all the employees Of every
mine in this valley come together at
their respective mine a half-hour be-
fore the usual time of starting the
works. Let them then and there, with
out speeches for or against q strike,
elect a chairman and secretary from
their number and when that has been
done. put the question to the meeting
thus: All who are in favor of going
to work. hold up your right hand.
Then afterwards: All who are in favor
of striking, hold up your right hand.
If you decide for work, then go to work
as usual. If you decide to strike, go
peaceably to your homes.
Before doing that, however, l would
further suggest that committee OF
three persons be appointed who shall
represent such mine at a meeting to
be agreed upon to meet the heads OF
their respective companies with a view
to an amicable adjustment of all eX-
listing difficulties"
