A couple of years later Mark Jer-
myn was in London. 1t seemed much
longer since he had parted from Elsie
Renton in Paris, where they had been
fellow students at the Conservatoire;
she. for the sake of finishing musical
education, he because he had his fu-
ture living to consider.
In Paris the girl had been free from
the hidebound conventionalities OF
home, and her doting parents would
doubtless have been horrified had they
known she had dared to regard some
one with affection. The two had part
ed; he to work for a name and she to
enter society.
And now he was in London, his fame
having preceded him, and Mark Jer'

most critical audience in the world

into the water. and the fisherman

that the wriggling contents of the bot

COAL MINERS STRIKE
MEN IN THE COLORADO DISTRICT
QUIT WORK.
In Utah and Wyoming, However, the
Men Seem Satisfied and viii Prob.
ably Continue at Work.

It is now evident that the strike
of the coal miners In the First or
Trinidad district of the Colorado Fuel
G. Iron company is no small affair. In
fact, It is a strike all out Of proportion
to that even hoped for by the officers
Of the United Mine Workers Of Amer.
lea, and ten times what was looked
for by the coal operators.
At the meeting Of the superintend-
ents and pit-bosses held in the G. F. G.
I. Offices in Trinidad last Thursday
night, reports were made that In no
camp would enough men go out to
cause q shutdown. It Is doubtful II
enough men can be found in the whole
district to work the mines at Primero.
At Gray Creek every miner but one
has quit, and that camp is surrounded
by armed guards. At Bowen the men
are quitting rapidly. At Tercio the
men quit early. At Starkville, one Of
the camps reported as being wholly
company men, nearly every man quit.
At Peadmont, the new camp OF the
Rocky Mountains Fuel company. the
men took their tools home. There Is
not one mine in this section that can
start up with half crew of miners.
At least 800 miners Joined the union
In Trinidad on Saturday. The Italians
have quit almost unanimously. al
though they have not joined the union
to any extent.
In Wyoming 1t is not believed the
men will strike. Efforts were made
some time ago to organize the miners
Of Wyoming, but 1t proved signal
failure. The chief objection to organ
ization by the men was that they
we're receiving top wages and were
satisfied.
A dispatch from Winter Quarters.
Utah, says that regardless of the or
ders issued to strike, the miners at
that place will continue to work.
There seems to be no dissatisfaction
In the camp.
