there can be no Cancellation or arbi-
tration when a gun is pointed at
the head of employers and they are
forced to arbitrate whether they will
or not. AS cure for the many
"evils" confronting employers, Mr..
Parry recommended organization
among manufacturers and employ
ers which shall embrace the last en-
ployer in the United States, the yari-
ous minor organizations to be COM
bined in one grand national fedora

The rest of the report dealt most
ly with the new department of COM
merce and the question of reciproci-
ty. Mr.. Parry recommended the

luton of the reciprocity question. i

CHAPTER ".

Col. Franklin was man of strong
traits and prejudices, and it was evil
dent to Irving Warde that if he in
terested himself in the Wright case
he would come nearer perhaps than
any one else in solving the mystery
involved in it. He was not an ex-
tensive practitioner of his profession,
but he had accomplished number
of wonderful feats in cases which
had become historic. 1t was Franklin
who had unravelled an election con-
spiracy and made the demonstration
SO clear to the courts that the emf
nently respectable gentleman who
appeared to have been elected
chancellor on the face of the returns
was deprived Of the office to which he
had been elevated by one of the
cleyerest frauds recorded in the his
tory of electoral rascality. Beside
this, there was the great diamond
swindle which had fame in it's day
throughout the entire lower Mississ-
ippi valley; case ramifying into
Nilus, New Orleans and Vicksburg.
1t was Franklin who exposed it, and
by the exposure landed number of
audacious swindlers in the penitenti-
airy. He was known to be wealthy,
though he did not practice his profess
sion with that assidpitY which be-
tokens the born lawyer. Indeed it
was hardly OF sufficient scope for the
man's many-sided activity, and though
he took very sharp interest in that
class of litigation which demands the
readiness of resourceful intellect
and makes unusual demands upon the
ingenuity, he very cordially despised
that other sort which inflicts dull
drudgery. 1t was popularity supposed
that the colonel was interested in q
number of Enterprises outside Of the
law, Which paid him more handsomely
than his profession. In Arkansas he
owned plantation which yielded him
fine cotton crop every year, and it
was said that he had some interests
in common with his friend John T.
Wright. He came to Nilus about 20
years before the opening of this mar
rative, and by his affable manners.
his dash, his decidedly handsome face,
and the mesmerism, as it were, Of
his personality, he was soon success
fully launched. He happened to win
at the start several cases that occu-
pied notable places in the popular
fancy, and this at once made him
famous. But his financial success
dated from the time when he defend
ed John L. Wright from the charge of
murder. In u fit of passion the lat
ter had killed the 9verseep of his
Hlantatiolh and when his anger sub
sided and his reason returned he
found himself in by no means envi-
able position. Public sentiment was
against him, and in those days that
was more potent than the law. While
the invisible statute allowed one man
to kill another for insult or SANDER.
it was often brought to bear with
equal force against the wanton per-
petrator of crime. Franklin was
employed to defend Wright. He at
once saw the desperate situation of
his client. and the necessity of secur-
ing an acquittal by other means than
trusting to the luck Of q Jury trial

MYSTERY OF THE

1ourned the inquest until tomorrow.
Wright was undoubtedly robbed of a
watch and several other valuables,
which so far can only be guessed at.
Tomorrow the inquest will be con-
timed at the Wright place, and more
light will be thrown on the case. By
the way, how did your mysterious
criminal pan out?"
II will lay the facts before you and
you can judge for yourself as to their
value"
Warde then told the story of the
footprints, how the unknown had not
gone through the woods, but had cut
across to the direct route, and was
going back to the city when he fell
in with the coroner and his party,
joined them, went back with them
to the scene of the murder, and for
all Warde knew was a member of the
coroner's jury.
"Well, that certainly is PECULIAR"
said the chief. 81 wish I had known
it; might get some satisfaction out
of your man."
did you observe no one with arc
tics on?"
Z mo; never thought of looking,
as it never occurred to me that your
man had made a roundabout trip
through the woods and joined the
coroner. OF course there was a con-
siderable number of stragglers who
were gathered up as the coroner
made his way to the scene of the
murder. l presume that officer
brought the jurors with him. He al
SO had lawyer, Col. James Frank
lin, with him. The colonel was an
old friend of Nright's, and he will
assist at the prosecution, if there is
anybody to prosecute. He will also
devote himself to discovering who
the murderer is. / think we will find
him of service, as he is man Of
great penetration"
II will call upon him and find out
what he knows about Wright, and
get his ideas as to the murder.''
'That would be good idea. Let
me caution you, however, about what
you write for your paper. 1t is just
possible that your ingenious theories
may be true, and if you outline them
to the public you may render impos-
sible the capture Of the criminal"
'sWell, I will agree not to say any
thing yet on that subject provided
You will not furnish the other papers
with any of my theories, rs you call
them
Cali right" said the chief, with a
smile; "if you unravel the mystery
1 think you are entitled to monop-
oily of it,
Warde then sought Col Franklin to
lay his Investigations before him, an
ticipatiing that he wenld find in the
lawyer a more sympathetic judge OF
the Importance of his discoveries.
When he had gone the chief of po-
lice gave word to subordinate to
place Herbert Wright under arrest
on suspicion of being implicated in
the murder of his father.

Jointed squadrons that are isolated
from one another. The new system
is designed to keep the various sections
OF the fleet in touch with one another

marked growth of the National Asso.
citation of Manufacturers, which now
has over 2,10Q members on its roll,
Mr.. Parry Immediately took up the
question of the battle between the
manufacturers and organized labor
in connection with the eight-hour and
anti-conspiracy bills, which were de-
feated at the last session of con-
gress. He then went on to say:
"Organized labor knows but one
law, and that is the law of physical
force-the law of the Huns and Van
dals, the law of the savage. All it's
purposes are accomplished either by
actual force or by the threat of
force. 1t does not place its reliance
in reason and justice, but in strikes,
boycotts and coercion. 1t is, in all
essential features, mob-power,
knowing no master except it's own
will, and is continually condeming
or defying the constituted authori.
ties. The stronger it grows the
greater q menace it becomes to the
continuance of free government, in
which all the people have voice.
1t is, in fact, despotism springins
into being in a midst of liberty-lov.
ing people.
The MpacIe Trust.
"Organized labor is particularly de.
mandatory of trusts, but what great
er trust is there than itself? 1t Is
the grand trust of the times. It is
the muscle trust, the trust, of men
who make their living by manual la
Dor. 1t is to be hoped that, in ac-
cordance with the Nelson amendment
to the department. of commerce bill,
the government in turning the
searchlight of publicity on the trusts,
will not forget organized labor.
"Organized labor and the socialist
party differ in one essential respect.
The former seeks to bring about So
cialism by forcible methods and the
latter seeks the same end through
the ballot box"
Mr.. Parry then took up the anthra-
cite strike and the municipal condi-
ton of Chicago. He pointed out that
by the system % joint agreement in
force between the coal operators
and the United Mine Workers the
public is not consulted when advances
in wage scales are granted, and that
if the price of coal is to continue
to go up it means the "indus-
trial destruction of the United
States" for the high price of coal
entering into the cost of manufac.
tured products will shut us out from
the competition with the rest of the
, world. AS to Chicago, Mr.. Parry
said:

CHAPTER III.

Irving Warde followed the foot
prints in the snow with ease and
CELEBRITY. and as he did so his mind
was actively specializing upon the
case, in which by this time he had be-
come as absorbed as chess player
is in the courtly strategems of
queens and knights. His intuitions
told him that plain, ordinary robbery
had not prompted the crime; and, if
the minor crime had been committed,
it had been for the purpose of veil
ing the real motive for the murder.
When he had gone some distance
the footprints turned almost at a
right angle and cut directly through
the woods. Perhaps after all the I'M
known was out hunting; but if such
were the case the evidence of it
would soon appear. AS the UNDER
