jump and swear mos awful bad. OATS
pardon me, M'sieu Craig, heh?'
But Craig only smiled at him rather
sadly.
ut was awfully risky" he said to
Graeme, ''and it was hardly worth it.
They'll get more whisky, and anyway
the league is gone"
well" said Graeme, with a sigh of
satisfaction, sit is not quite such
one sided affair as it was.''
And we could say nothing in reply,
for we could hear Nixon snoring in the
next ROOM and no one had heard Of
Billy, and there were others of the
league that we knew were even now
down at Slavin's. 1t was thought best
that all should remain in Mr.. Craig's
shack, not knowing what might hap
pen, and so we lay where we could,
and we needed none to sing us to
sleep.
When ! awoke, stiff and sore, it was
to find breakfast ready and old man
Nelson in charge. AS we were seated
Craig came in, and l saw that he was
not the man Of the night before. His
courage had come back; his face was
quiet and his eye clear. He was his
own man again.
'Geordie has been out all night. but
has failed to find Billy" he announced
quietly.
We did not talk much. Graeme and
l worried with our broken bones, and
the others suffered from general
morning depression. But after break
fast, as the men were beginning to
move, Craig took down his Bible, and,
saying, "Wait a few minutes. men,"
be read slowly, in his beautiful. clear
voice, that psalm for all fighters.
''God is our refuge and strength
and SO on to the noble words:
1.-THE Lord of Hosts is with US;
The Col of Jacob is our refuge"
How the mighty words pulled us to-
gether, lifted us till we grew ashamed
Of our ignOble rage and of our ignoble
depression!
And then Craig prayed in simple,
straightgoing words. There was ac-
acknowledgement Of failure, but l knew
he was thinking chiefly of himself;
there was gratitude, and that was for
the men about him, and l felt my face
burn with shame; there was petition
for help, and we all thought of Nixon
and Billy and the men Weakening from
their debauch at Slavin's this pure,
bright morning. Then he asked that
we might be made faithful and worthy
of God, whose battle it was. Then we
! all stood up and shook hands with him
in silence, and every man knew a Gov
enant was being made. But none saw
his meeting with Nixon. He sent us all
away before that.
Nothing was heard of the destruction
of the hotel stock in trade. Unpleasant
questions would certainly be asked
and the proprietor decided to let bad
alone. On the point of responsibility
the success of the ball was not con
spicuous, but the antileague men were
content if not jubilant.

BaptSte was radiant with pride and
delight over the fight and lowered
about Graeme and me, giving vent to
his feelings in admiring French and
English explosives. But Abe was dis
gusted because of the failure at Sla-
wins, for when Nelson looked in he saw
Slavin's French Canadian wife in
charge, with her baby on her lap, and
he came back to Shaw and said, Come
away; we can't touch this" and Shaw,
after looking in, agreed that nothing
could be done. A baby held the fort.
AS Craig listened to the account of
the fight he tried hard not to approve,
but he could not keep the CLEAN out Of
his eyes. and as 1 pictured Graeme
daShing back the crowd thronging the
barricade till he was brought down by
the chair Craig laughed gently and put
his hand on Graemes knee, and as I
went on to describe my agony while
IdahO's fingers were gradually nearing

eyes grew wide with horror

states in 1902. This estimate is re-

the crowds. Men who are in touch
with the situation make these fig

In the big movement OF last year
railway men estimate that the coas
states secured the larger portion OF

operated in their favor more than in

There is great activity among the

So reduced are cattle compared
to the increasing population and so
generally are the laboring people
consuming beef because of the wide
spread business prosperity that the
outlook is exceedingly favorab lie.
While thoroughbred cattle for breed
ing purposes never sold higher an d
eastern feeders are realizing good
returns for fat cattle selling in Chi
cago from $500 per cwt. as high as
$3.50 and Xmas beef even higher.
While Iowa may have million "as
reported" more cattle than ever be-
fore her population is increasing.
The cattle kings ofthe southwest we
scarce ely hear OF, and as the march
of civilization advances westward
so must our pastures be transform

That the great transition is near

While even our own surroundings
indicate it. Therefore it's our time
