A. NARRATIVE OF ADVENTURE
BY SEWARD W.. HOPKINS.
fCopyR1GHr 1899 by ROBERT BoNNERs SoHsJ
CHAPTER XI.

The two Jumars and Miss Arnold
sat and gazed at me wonderingly. But
I told them no more. The time to tell
them my plans had not come yet.
When it did, L felt that would find
them ready to aid me.
Mr.. Avery heaved sigh.
"Well, Crickmore," he said, "you
doubtless know your own mind.
But you are running into great dan
GER"
"Not more than I am here" I re
piled. "Fere we simply wait for
death to come to us. II death must
be my portion, I propose to meet 1t
half way. This inactivity is ir&somc.
I must do something toward efecting
our release"
The weight Of the subject was too
much for everybody. After a futile
attempt to resume conversation, Mr..
Avery and the two Jumars went away.
AS they were leaving, I once more re-
minded Oso- Bark of his promise.
"Oolek, do not fcar," he said, II
will gather the bark before 1 sleep
this night. The good teacher can
bring it to you in the morning."
"And one other thing I want" 1
said. Bring me suit of clothes
similar to those you wear"
"That, too, Oolek," he said, and
they were gone.
What is this dangerous thing you
are going to do?" asked Miss Arnold,
as I was leaving her with her dusky
companion. "What plan have you?"
"Do not worry" replied" shall
do nothing rash. am going among
the people to study them. am going
to study also thcresources at our COM
mand. do not feel that the Talmoo-
chians have done themselves justice
in submitting for twenty years to
Chinese rule"
"And then what? Suppose you
find resources that have been over
looked; what will be the result?"
"War."

public, and reinforced as strongly as
may be necessary by public authorities,
rather than by guards hired by cor
porations or individuals. The fact that
deputies are, to all intents and pur-
poses, the employees OF one of the par
ties usually works injury to the cause
in which they are cngaged-that OF
preserving peace and protecting prop
erty.
Coal and Iron Police.
"The employment of what are known
as Coal and Iron policemen by the
coal-inining companies, while neceS-
sity as things are, initiates against the
very purpose for which they are en-
ployed Although the testimony before
the commission proved that, as whole,
the Coal and Iron policemen were men
of good character, there we're a sutti-
cient number of bad characters, taken
from cities, to discredit the efforts of
the whole body. The employment OF
this body OF police is authorized by
law, but they are really the employees OF
the coal companies, and thus do not
secure the respect and obedience to
which officers of the law are entitled.
Their presence is all irritant, and many
Of the disturbances in the coal regions
during the late strike grew out OF
their presence Should this matter be
remedied by legislation, so that the
laws could be enforced and peace pre-
served by regularly constituted con-
stabulary, appointed and paid by the
county or State, the commission be-
leves that much of the disorder which
accompanies strikes would be avoided.
Employment of Children.

submission, but concerning VIII, en-, +

CHAPTER XII.
THE BEGINNINGS OF WAR.

THE BEGINNINGS OF WAR.
"What is the name of this street,
Mr.. Avery?"
''This is called the Street Of the
Lost Children That broad avenue
stretching away to the eastward is
called the Street of the Invaders. 1t
was down that avenue the conquerors
came, twenty years ago, and it was
the scene OF much carnage and out
rage. These streets had other names
before the fall. but in these gruesome
titles the Jumars love to porpotuate
the memory OF their sorrow"
We were standing on the porch OF
Mr.. Avery's house in Galneor. Be.
fore us the wide Street of the Invad-
ers stretched away into a pleasing
vista of spreading palms and comfort
able houses. These houses were
nearly all OF one pattern, some, how
ever, being larger and more preten-
tious than others. Mr.. Avery's was
the largest Of them all. 1t was well
adapted to .s.the hot climate. The
rooms were well lighted and aired
with plenty of windows. A vide
porch nearly surrounded the house.

in a mill, and learned for the first time OF
his daughters tragic death.
In company with his wife he attended
religious services at the East Broadway
Christian Church this morning, and after
dinner he went to the Meyer home, where
the shooting occurred.
Dunton called the conductor outside the
house. explaining that he had some pri-
vate business with him. He asked the
conductor to go to the rear of the premises
with him. When they had gone a short
distance from the house Dunton, who
was unknown to Meyer, asked:
What do you know about Daisy DUN
ton?"
Meyer is said to have replied:
- Daisy Dunton. killed her. and
III Kill you. II you want to take that up"
At the same time, 1t Is said. he made q
motion as II to draw a weapon.
Dunton pulled a revolver and shot Meyer
three times through the body. He lived
about fifteen minutes.
= Dunton reloaded his revolver and went
to his home on Mcvey street. where he
was arrested by the police. Coroner Nc

In quieting the crowd.

ARCHBISHOP IS CALM.
Archbishop Harty sat immovable
| throughout the excitement. AS best he
| could he tried to proceed with the func-
tons of the evening. He beckoned to
those nearest him to approach him and
PASS along so as to reaesure the fright
ened visitors.
At the same time he instructed the
to the people to make them return to their
seats.
Father Martin Delaney was one of the
first to come to the rescue. Jumping to
his feet he began speaking in reassuring
manner.
There's no need Of fear" he said. ITS
,nly kneeling stool turned over
Father T. ]. Lloyd was soon addressing
the frightened congregation from another
side of the church. Mgr. Edward Fowler,
who is to accompany Archbishop Harty
to Manila, also took hand at quieting
the people, as did the Reverend Patrick
Crane and ]. J. OBrien-
After considerable effort the crowd be-
gan to be convinced that there was no
further cause for fear.
Archbishop Harty succeeded in getting
many In the front part OF the church to
resume their normal condition, and he
proceeded with his blessing and farewell
partings. Others seeing this, became re-
assured and quiet was restored.
None was found who had sustained any
thing worse than a bruise. Many shfns
were scraped in jumping from the pews,
but aside from this the event ended hap
