President Fowler. of the New York,

tered at Yesterdays conference to
make an agreement for not less than
one year nor more than five years. as
may be mutually determined. Now the
point l wish to make clear right here
is:
Mitchell cannot order an immediate
resumption of work because the by
laws of the union mineworkers declare
that such a proposition must be sub
mitted to a convention of its delegates,
That cannot be done in less than two
weeks time. That time, / am told,

Is a great difference between resum-
ing work Immediately and resuming
work at the end Of two weeks. In a
word, Mitchell's proposition has q /
string to it. Moreover, how do the |
operators know that Mitchell can con-
troll his men? Did aot they go back on
him at Hazleton two years ago when
he ordered them not to strike?

CHAPTER XVII.

1t was late the same evening and
Mildred sitting in her mothers room,
with one hand clasped in Lady Caro-
lines. was gazing idly into the fire,
seem!@C pale and detected in the req
light of the flame, that ever and anon
bazed up and sunk, and almost died,
and frightened up again. Yet in her
heart there was great well of thank
fulness, of joy unutterable-for had
not the doctor. fully an hour before
declared Denial out of any immediate
danger?
Up to that moment Miss Trevanion
had remained in her own apartment,
not caring to encounter the gaze Of
curious observers-now walking fever
ishly backward and forward with un-
spoken prayers within her breast, now
sitting stunned and wretched. waiting
for the tidings she yet dreaded to hear.
But, when Lady Caroline came to
tell her all was well for the present,
she could say nothing; she only fol-
lowed her mother back to her own
room where she fell upon her knees
and cried as IL her heart would break.
Suddenly the door opened and SER
want stood revealed.
Lord Lyndon's compliments to
Miss Trevanion, and he would be glad
to see her for few minutes in the
north drawing room" he said, and I'm
gered for reply.
II will be down directly" Mildred
answered tremulously, and when he
had withdrawn turned nervously to-
ward Lady Caroline. oh mother"
she said, what can | say to him
What must he think of me?"
Have courage, my darling" whis-
pered Lady Caroline, "and own the
truth-plain speaking is ever the best
and wisest. Afterward he will forgive
you. Remember how impatiently
shall be waiting here for your return y
"Of course he will understand that
II is now all over between us?" Mil
dred asked, half anXiously, as she
reached the door
'of course he will, said Lady Caro-
line, with a suppressed sigh. How
could she help regretting this good
thing tlst was passing away from her
daughterN Now go, and do not keep
him in suspense any longer"
So Mildred went; but. as she passed
the threshold OF the room that con-
tanned Lord Lyndon. sudden rush OF
memory almost overpowered her, car
rying her back, as 1t did. to that other
night, few short weeks ago, when

and down upon her knees. her horse
idly wandering away. She stopped
and placed her hand upon his heart,
but failed to detect the faintest beat,
She drew her fingers across his fore
head-cold and damp with the chilling
wintry wind-but to her 1t seemed
touched by the cold hand Of Death.
A terrible feeling took possession of
her Was he dead? Was he speech
less, deaf, blind, beyond love, life,
hope, for evermore?
Lifting his head onto her lap ana
pushing back the hair from his beau
tiful forehead, she murmured to him
tenderly, almost reproachfully, half
believing the cruel voice he had loved
so well on earth would recall him even
from the grave. But there was no an
swer.
She looked up wildly. Would nobody
ever come? How long they were
how long! And, when they did come,
would it, perchance, be only to tell
her that help was needless-that he
was indeed dead, as he appeared
lifeless within her very arms.
Oh, to speak with him once more,
II only for moment-just for so long
as 1t would take to let him know how
we'll she loved him. and to beg on her
knees for his forgiveness!
Why did he lie so silent at her feet?
Surely that calm, half smile had no
sympathy with death Was she never
to hear his voice again-never to see
the loving tenderness that grew in his
eyes for her alone?
Was all the world dead or insensi-
BILE that none would come to her call,
while perhaps each precious moment
was stealing another chance from his
life? This thought was maddening;
she glanced all round her, but as yet
no one was in sight. And then she
began to cry and wiring her hands.
"Denzil, speak to mel" she sobbed
"Denzil- darling-darling!"
Lord Lyndon. shortly after the acct
dent had occurred, turning round in his
saddle to discover whether Miss Ire
vanion was coming up with them. and
not seeing her. raised himself in his
stirrups to survey the ground behind,
and beheld two horses riderless, and
something he could not discern clearly
upon the grass.
"Sir George, look!" he called to his
companion. What is it-what has
happened? Can you see Mildred?
He waited for nothing more, but
putting spurs to the astonished animal
under him, rode furiously back, leav-
ing Sir George to follow him almost
as swiftly.
And this was what they saw,
Lying apparently lifeless, with one
arm twisted under him, in that horri-
