He supported Eric ds best he could. into Stuart's mind. He was'a prisoner with a helpless wounded man at the bottom of a mine 900 feet deep, the en- zine house was on fire or some accident had happened to prevent the lowering of the skip, the pumps had stopped, and the water in the mine was rising rapid ly. It was half way to his knees now.
 He pulled the lever again and again and in his excitement shouted like a madman. There was no answer from above. The manhole ladders were still clear. Even as they were, with the broken places, he was strong and wig orous and could climb out. But not with the burden of Eric. At that mo- sment charred fragment of wood float ed down the ore shaft and dropped hissing in the water. He realized that he stood in the presence of death. He offered a prayer for help. He sup ported Eric as best he could. The wa ter was now above his knees and rap idly rising.

noise like the roar of a torrent grew about these two men, and before Eric could get out from his position against the ladders mass of iron ore came rushing down the manhole, breaking out rounds of the ladders as 1t fell, and, bounding from side to side, struck Eric on the shoulders with terrific force and threw him face downward in the wa ter.
 Stuart was at his side in 8 moment. He raised him and by the light of the candle in his hat saw the nature of the accident. He could not think whether the mass had fallen or been thrown purposely Into the shaft. He dragged Erie away from the foot of the ladder He was seriously injured. With the one thought of getting him to the top as soon as possible Stuart seized the lever at the bottom of the ore shaft and pulled it back as a signal to the engineer to let down the skip. There was no answering signal, and Stuart pulled the wire rope again. Still no an swer. He looked up through the main shaft. What was that? The pump had suddenly stopped below. But what was lndI SIedl HE'LL at tue up IL muSC De nearly sundown now. Something was on fire! The truth flashed upon him that the engine house over the main shaft was on fire. The ladders afford ed escape for a man possibly, but not incumbered with body, and dead body perhaps at that. Stuart dashed water in Eric's face, and he groaned. He was not dead, but unconscious. And then the whole situation forced itself

 This statement was greeted with cheers. but at once there followed a storm of cries from all over the park.

 "Yes, they fixes wages. We fix they if"-
 Eric stood up and waved his hat. There was a gradual settling down of the confusion, and as he stood there, evidently waiting to be heard, the men soon became quiet again. Stuart ad- mired his control of the crowd. Eric had great influence with it.
 Brothers" he said slowly, "I be- lieve we have reached a critical point in this movement. Here is one of the owners who has expressed his willing ness to grant our demands. The ques- -tion now is, Shall the Champion men go back to their mines while the rest con tinue to deal with the other owners? This is a question for the union to set tle."
 Erie" spoke Stuart in low tone as he stood close by him, "let me say a word or two more, will you2 be- neve the decision of the men today will be serious one, and l want to dO all can to make it right" Eric at once raised his voice. "Men, MT. Duncan wants to say 8 word again. I am sure you will give him careful hearing"

He had never Anu Sucu great ueSlre 10 explain his own attitude toward the whole prob lem of labor and capital as it affected him.
 It is not possible to describe his speech. Erie thought at the time that 1t was the best speech he had ever heard from moneyed man. At times 1t was impassioned, then quiet and con- ,versational. 1t is doubtful if very many of the miners understood it as Stuart meant. He was in reality voic- ing a policy for the men of money which he afterWard followed out with some changes.
 This much he made clear to the men: He sympathized with their demands for larger wages, while he could not agree with their methods, and he would do all in his power to give them their

All the way over he was debating with himself what he would say. It was the first time he had really met the men. A great many of them did not know what the feeling of the new mine owner was. They supposed that Ross DuEcan's son was like the fa- ther. Others among them had known him as child and boy and liked him. He was favorite in the town. Many a rough, reckless, stolid Dane and Cornishman had admired the lad who had been so fearless in going up and down the shafts. There was good deal of favorable comment among the men in line over his coming out today.
 So when he finally came into the park and was met by a committee there and escorted up into the pavilion where the speakers went he faced a great crowd that was in the humor to give him fair play at least. A thousand more men had come in from the other ranges, and an audience of over 5000 was packed deep all about the pavilion.
 Stuart could not remember afterward all that was said that day by himself or the men. Erie had spoken briefly, and then in behalf of the union so re- gently formed he said that he had the pleasure of introducing the owner of the Champion mines, who would ad- dress the meeting.
 Stuart had never spoken in public except on a few occasions in college rhetoricals. He was no orator, and he knew it. And yet as he rose to speak to this outdoor gathering in position that might have tried many expert enced speakers he felt a sense of relief and a certain pleasure.
 He began at once with a statement of his willingness to grant the men their scale of wages.
 eff I understand the situation" he said, ''the demand made by the con- tract miners is for $2 a day on account of the danger of the work and because the companies have been paying only :$1.9O for more than year now. 1 be- lieve the companies ought to pay that price. I might as well say that do not believe you have taken the right course to get what you want. I cannot sympathize with this strike. do sym pathize with your demand for $2 day.

and was talking with the engineer when Eric came in.
 Stuart called him over to the dry room, where the miners changed their clothing for miners dress.
 "Eric, l want to go down into the mine. Won't you go with me? I want to see again for myself what the work is, and besides there is a new pump at the bottom that want to look at"
 Eric consented, and the two soon had on the miners dress and were going down the ladders. It was getting late In the afternoon, and they left orders with the engineer that when they gave the signal from the bottom he might let down the skip, and. they would come up in that.
 For an hour they explored different levels. Stuart was restless and seemed intent on realizing as fully as possible just how the miners worked, He climb ed up into difficult places and even fired off blast in one chamber, using one of the powder sticks left by the men when they came out.
 At last he and Eric stood at the bot tom of the mine. This was an excaya- tion about IA feet across, and the wa ter ran in very much as if it had been cistern. By leaning back against the ladders the light from 900 feet above could be seen. Eric was sitting thus with his back to the ladder rounds and his feet in the water which ran over the floor of the mine about four inches deep and Stuart was examining the pump at the other side of the shaft when 3 terrible thing happened.

The largest peach-growing district
on the globe is around Fort Valley,
Ga. The peach orchards cover more
than $4,000 acres within q radius Of
ten miles Of Fort Valley, and In this
area there are something like 1,900. 900
peach trees; 10000 pear trees. 10000
grape vines. 5000 plum trees. and L.
500 apple trees. The railroads are
taxed at the height of the season to
get the crops to markets. Each fruit
car carries an average Of about 400
cases and this years crop will require
not fewer than 1000 cars to move II.
At 81 a crate-a very low estimate
the crop around Fort Valley will bring
in something like $3.50. 900.
It can readily be realized from these
figures what the fruit industry brings
to Georgia. There are dozen or more
fruit companies formed IN Ohio, which
own nearly 10000 acres OF peach lands
in Houston county. on which there are
more than zoo, 900 trees. The capital
stock of these companies Is something
more than 100000.

PICTURESQUE ISLAND.
CninhabItsd by Man. Il Is Given Over
TO Cranes.

Cninhabitsd by Man. Il L. Given oves
TO Cranes.
At Lake Minnetonka. Mimi, there is
a picturesque island which takes its
name from the fact that ii Is unin-
habited by man and given over to the
cranes. Generations back these birds
decided upon this spot for a summer
resort. AS time went on and the sur
rounding islands populated, no man
had the heart to disturb them, until
now Crane island is pointed out from
passing boats as one Of the curiosities
Of the northwest. It Is estimated that
fully 5000 cranes make their home on
this small, isolated strip Of land in the
summer. and they can be seen wading
out in the water, ducking their long
necks, and heard emitting q peculiar
squawk, as IL to warn on intruders.
Quite as curious as the bird is its nest
which is made Of sticks as large az
basket, and usually perched on the
limb Of some stout tree. In the many
years that have passed since this sec
ton was first settled by civilized man
only one or two attempts have been
made to land on the island. and these
have resulted disastrously. On one oc-
casien a stranger explorer managed to
get on the island. though he was at
tackled on all sides by the angry
cranes. He hastily beat a retreat, but
NOT until he had haeu denpiycd NJ fha
sight Of one eye. The ferocious birds
guard their property so jealousy that,
although summer homes have been
erected on the adjacent islands, Crane
island will probably go down to pos
terity as one spot in this wide coun-
try sacred to the crane and given to
his progeny forever.
