First Witness Called.
Upon the conclusion of his address
Mr.. Torrey called to the witness

ment Of the company. Under the ex-
animation of Mr.. Torrey the witness
said that prior to the 1900 strike the
relations between the company and
the men were cordial. After that
strike most of the company's men
joined the miners union, which re-
suited in considerable discomfort
among the men, and the breaking uE
of discipline in and about the mines
In some collieries the men are re-
quired to load $500 pounds to car.
in other mines 1850 pounds. AT one
co1liery the weight is fixed at s2,75o
pounds. The size Of the cars, he
said, differs at various collieries. SD
\ far as he knew no blacklist exists in
the anthracite regions. The witness
also stated that it would be unwise
to have weekly pay days. The men,
he said, now lose twice as much
time with semi-monthly pay as they
did when they were paid once a
month. 5a
Mr.. Rose closed his testimony by
producing letter written to him
by President Olyphant, Of the com
pany, after the strike ended. The
letter told him to stand by the men
who stood by the company during
the strike. He was instructed to
warn these employees to be careful,
and if ''reviled, reyile not again Z
Regarding; the returning strikers,
the letter said:
'sGive them a good welcome they
are not all bad who are misled.'
The communication also instructed
the superintendent to take back all
men where places could be found for
them, but no man should be taken
back who had been guilty of commit
ting a crime. +
On cross-examination by counsel
for the miners Mr.. Rose said that
prior to 1900 the contract miners
earned $3.50 to $65O<a yeara Mr.. Rose
said he considered eight hours a fair
day for the miners, but foremen

permitted 12-year-old boys to work

and official zeal. The matter Of
Fields going had been broached be-
fore, and, when told of it, the Wilkins
pair had been prompt with their pro-
tests. "Of course he'd be wantin' to
get away" said Wilkins, "wid all that
money to account for, let alone these
other things" The Irishman was hot
against the young West Pointer, who
had derided him. He doubtless be-
ieved his own words. He never
dreamed how sorely the lad now
longed to see his father-how deep
was his anxiety on his fathers ac-
count-how filed with apprehension
~n his own, for that rifled desk had
brought him reason for the most
painful thought. Wilkins and Field
had been antagonistic from the start.
Neither could see good in the other,
and, egged on by his worthy spouse's
exhortations, the quartermaster had
siezed the opportunity to fill the
post commanders too receptive mind
with all his own suspicious and this
ct q crucial time.
Il can't listen to it, DR.. Waller, =
said the major, sternly. Here's a
matter Of near $1,000 that young man
has got to answer for the moment he
is well enough to stir. And if he

have got nearly an hours start, and
we've nobody to send in chase"
Then it presently appeared that the
post commander desired to continue
conference with his staff officer, for
he failed to invite the surgeon to be
seated. Indeed, he looked up into the
doctors kindling eyes with odd mix
ture of impatience and embarrass-
ment in his own, and the veteran
practitioner felt the slight; flushed
instantly, and, with much hauteur Of
manner, took prompt but ceremoni-
Gus leave.
And when morning came and Fort
Frayne awoke to another busy day,
as if The excitements of the night
gone by had not been enough for it,
a new story went buzzing, with the
first call for guard mount, about the
garrison; and, bigger even than yes
terday, the two details, in soldier si-
ience, began to gather in front of the
infantry quarters. Maj. Flint had or
dered sentries posted at the traders
home, with directions that Mrs. Hay
was not to be allowed outside of her
gate, and no one, man or woman,
permitted to approach her from with
out, except by express permission Of
the post commander. "Gen. Harney"
and "Dan," the two best horses of
the traders stable, despite the pres
ence of the sentry at the front, had
been distracted some time during the
earlier hours of the night, and later
traced to the ford at Stabber's old
camp, and with Pete and Crapaud,
doubtless, were gone.
That day the major wired to Omaha
that he should be reinforced at once.
One-half his little force, he said, was
now mounted each day for guard,
and the men couldn't stand it. The
general, of course, was in the field,
but his chief of staff remained at
headquarters and was empowered to
order troops from post to post with

hoped two more companies could
come at once, and he did not care
what post was denuded in his favor.
His, he said, was close to the Indian
1ands-separated from them, in fact,
only by narrow and fordable river.
The Indians were all on the warpath,
and, aware of his puny numbers,
might be tempted at any moment to
quit the mountains and concentrate
on him. +.
And so another restless day went
by and no more news came from
either front or rear-from the range
to the north or Rock Springs at the
south, and Flint was just formulating
another fervid appeal to that i'm
passive functionary, the adjutant gen
eral at Omaha, when toward evening
word came whistling down the line
in the person of Master Sanford Ray,
that two couriers were in sight
"scooting" in from Moccasin RIDGE,
and Flint and fully half the soldier
strength of Fort Frayne gathered on
the northward bluff like the "wan
burghers" Of ancient Rome, to watch

and speed their coming. Who could
tell what the day might yet bring
forth?
1t was well-nigh dark before the
foremost reached the ford-a scout in
worn and tawdry buckskin, wearied
and impassive. He gave his dispatch
to the care Of the first officer to ac-
cost him, and took the way to the
store, briefly saying in reply to ques-
tions, that he was "too dry to speak
the truth" So they focked, at re-
spectful distance, about the major
as he read the hurried lines. The
general bade the post commander
wire the entire message to Washing
ton, and to take all precautions for
the protection of the few settlers
about him. The columns under Col.
Henry and Maj. Webb had united
near the head waters of the Clear
Fork of the Powder; had had rat

mountains and were following hot on
the trail, but that Stabber's band and
certain disaffected Sioux had cut

south. Whistling Elk, young chief
of much ambition, had quarreled with
certain of the Red Cloud element, and
joined Stabber, with his entire band.

nails any day or night from Eagle

Flint read with sinking heart. In

scientific for his martial education,
and too much for his skeleton COM
mand. In the gathering dusk his face

puffed hard, as he begged for news.
There was still another dispatch,
however, which was evidently adding
to the majors perturbation, for it
concerned him personally and for the
moment Wilkins went unheard.
The general desires that you send the
couriers back within "a hours of their ar
rival, after you have had time to scout
the line of the Platte say 20 miles each
way giving full report of every Indian
seen or heard of. He enjoins vigilance
and hopes to keep the Sioux so busy

he will pursue at once. He trusts that
you are doing everything possible to COM
fort and reassure Mrs. Hay, and that
you can send good news Of Lieut.. Field.
ssHe is simply fretting his heart out
here" were the doctors words to
him but short time before, "and,
while unable to mount horse, he is
quite strong enough now to take the
trip by ambulance, slowly, that is, to
Rock Springs. I fear his father is

fish market early this morning, when
monster shark, the largest ever seen
here, was brought in by some Jap
fishermen, who Immediately proceed

seventy-two inches, and will be pre-
scented to the Bishop Museum But
the bystanders nearly went wild when
upon opening the stomach of the shark
variety OF ships instruments and

aiming the lining Of the stomach there
were also found several cards explain

successful one, and in about three
weeks she was at the mouth of the
British Channel From the first day
the infirm Governor had begun to re-
cover; half way across the Atlantic he
was, save only for his eyes, as well as
any man upon the ship. Those who
uphold the nourishing qualities of wine
might point to him in triumph, for
never a night passed that he did not
repeat the performance of his first one.
And yet he would be out upon deck in
the early morning as fresh and brisk
as the best of them, .peering about with
his weak eyes, and asking questions
about the<sails and the rigging, for he
was anxious to learn the ways of the
sea. And he made up for the deficiency
of his eyes by obtaining leave from the
captain that the New England seaman
he who had been cast away in the
boat-sliould lead him about, and above
all that he should sit beside him when
he played cards and count the number
of the pips, for unaided he could not
tell the king from the knave.
1t was natural that this Evanson
should do the Governor willing service
since the one was the victim of the vile
SharFey, and the other was his
avenger. One could see that it was a
pleasure to the big American to lend
his arm to the invalid. and at night
he would stand with all respect behind
his chair in the cabin and lay his great
stub-nailed forednger upon the card
which he should play. Between them
there was little in the pockets either
of Captain Scarrow or of Morgan, the
first mate, by the time they sighted the
Lizard.

valid Governor found himself a popular
man on board. for it was generally
understood that but for his insistence
upon an immediate trial and sentence.

some more venal Judge and so escaped.
At dinner that day Sir Charles gave
many anecdotes of the deceased pirate;
and SO affable was he, and so skillful
in adapting his conversation to men of
lower degree. that captain, mate and
Governor smoked their long pipes and
drank their claret as three good COM
rades should.
And what figure did Sharkey cut in
the deck?" asked the captain.
He is a man of some presence said
the Governor.
IT had always understood that he

ed the mate.
We'll. I dare say he could look ugly
upon OCCASIONS" said the Governor.
II have heard a New Bedford whale
man say that he could not forget his
eyes, said Captain Scarrow. They
were of the iightest filmy blue, with
redzrimmed lids. Was that not so, Sir
Charles?"
ALAS. my own eyes will not permit
me to know much of those of others!
But / remember now that the adjutant
general said that he had such an eye as

were so foolish as to be visibly discom-
posed when it was turned upon them.
1t is well for them that he is dead, for
he was a man who would never forget
an injury, and If he had laid hands up
on any one of them he would have
stuffed him with straw and hung him
for figurehead."
The idea seemed to amuse the Cover
nor. for he broke suddenly into a~high,
neighing laugh, and the two seamen
laughed also, but not so heartily, for
they remembered that Sharkey was
not the last pirate who sailed the
western seas, and that as grotesque a
fate might come to be their own. An
other bottle was preached to drink to
a pleasant voyage, and the Governor
