Griswold laughed. cit is not a very

might have had an uncomfortable
night of it,
perhaps it wouldn't have been any
worse than that. Well, maybe I can
save you an uncomfortable night
sometime. Won't you come in and
smoke a cigar?"
Griswold thought at first that he
would not, and then changed his
mind. He was invited to dinner at
DR.. Farnham's, but it was yet early.
Now there is nothing like good to-
bacco for speeding an acquaintance
between two men, and Griffin's single
extravaganza ran to fine brands of
cigars. So the chat in the hotel of
fee went hither and yon, and finally
came down to the topic which was
at that moment engrossing the town
the strike at the iron works.
They are a hard-headed lot of
FOOLS" said Griswold, not without
warmth, when he came to speak of
the strikers. They are just like

When the rescuer's purpose to
bring up under the lea of the island
became evident the castaway scram-
bled down the, low bluff and made
his way around the southern point,
to be ready to climb aboard. The
boat doubled the northern sand-Spit
and it was waiting for him in the
sheltered cove behind the island
when he came in sight of it. Girls
void hailed him cheerfully.

Griffin could make it and did; and
moment afterward the cat-boat
shot out from the island shelter, put
her lee gunwale under and showed
her bottom strake to the setting sun.

The prophecy was fulfilled in both
halves, but the detective held his
breath more than once before the
cat-boat had thrashed it's way
through the perilous middle passage
of the open lake to the calmer water
in Wahaska bay. At the pier he
helped his rescuer make fast and
stow the sail, and they walked up

teIl you, GrlSWOld, there Is no
doubt about it; we have Jasper
Grierson to thank for every move in
this block game of ours. Every dol
lars worth of work that we have
lost has been taken away from us
by his orders: and when we shall
come to the heart of this strike bust
ness we shall find out that he is at
he bottom of that"
The partners were closetcd in the
private office of the iron works, dis
.ussing the discouraging outlook in
general and the ultimatum of the
workmen in particular, and thus far
Iriswold had been unable to offer
any helpful suggestion.

what motive could he have?"

stopped that, and now he means to
swallow both of u.s."
GriswOld shook his head. ST can't
conceive the hardness of it, Ned"
IF you should accuse him of hard
hess it would make him laugh in
your face. He would say it was
business. But that is nothing to
him. He is something more than q
driver on the Juggernaut-car of
business. He is robber, out and
out, and one who sticks at nothing.
Have you heard of that deal he is
engineering with the old banker from
New Orleans?"
What banker?"
"Old Andrew Galbraith, of the
Bayou State bank
If Griswold did not turn pale at
the mention of Andrew Galbraith's
name it was because his face was al
ways colorless. Yet he forced him
self to ask the question:

"Grierson is about to stick the old
Scotchman for cool million in the
Red lake pine lands. You know
what they're worth-or. rather, how
utterly worthless they are"

had flung over the silent one.

Griswold should have been the last
to feel any conscientious promptings

GALL ON SECRETARY HAY
Chekib Bey, the Turkish Minister,
 at State Department.
He Has a Long Interview With See retnry Hay, But Was Reticent
 as to Result.

Washington, Sept 1.-Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister, had long in- terview, Monday, with Secretary Hay. He refused to discuss the interview stating that he had nothing to com municate further than what appeared in the press dispatches Sunday Saorn- ing. After the interview, Secretary Hay visited the navy department If the Turkish minister requested that the European squadron be kept away from Turkish waters, his request probably can not be granted, even should this government desire to accede to it, as the navy department states that it will be impossible to communicate with either the Brooklyn or San Francisco until they arrive at Beirut, Chekit Bey assured Secretary Hay that the Turkish government had done nothing wrong, and will use every endeavol to protect American citizens residing in Turkey. He also discussed the con- ditions of the insurrection in Turkey and said that the Turkish government was not responsible for any of the dis. asters that had occurred Secretary Hays call on Acting Secretary Darling was for the purpose of ascertaining the whereabouts of the European squad ron, and also what their orders are There Is no intention of changing any orders at present, especially as the ships can not be reached until they ar rive at Beirut. No messages of i'm portance were received from Minister Leishman Monday.
 Late dispatches from Minister Leish- man give in detail the conditions in Turkey, and do not differ materially in tone from those previously sent, Minister Leishman does not, as re- ported in some quarters, requSst the withdrawal of the American ships from Turkish waters. While reports by way of Londan state that no attempt was made upon the life of Vice-Consul Magelssen, official advices so far re- ceived show that such an attempt was made. The present status was known before the ships left Genoa, and this government did not decide to change the orders.

Ssoert English, an Aged White Man and His Family of Ten Children
 Practically Slaves.
THEY WERE JUGCLED INTO
 SIGNING AWAY THEIR LIBERTY.
A Wealthy Alabama Turpeptine on- orator, His Son, Merchant and Justice of the Peace and a RaiIitf Held to Answer In the United States Court.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 1.-Marion PrestWood, a wealthy turpentine op- orator ot Troy; his son, Noah Prest- wood, a merchant and justice of tbe peace, and Will Goodson, bailiff, have been bound over to the United States court under bonds of $500 each on the charge of holding Robert English. an aged white man, and his family of ten children, in involuntary servitude.
 According to the testimony, the de- fendant, Prestwood, had a contract with English, in 1902, by which he was to furnish English and his family with ratlons, in consideration of the family's working 60 acres on shares.
 when the crop was nearly made, Prestwood ceased to furnish rations The family was left in destitute cir cumstances, and Prestwood took DOS session of the crop.
 English undertook to get work for himself and boys In the neighborhood to support his family. One of the chil- dren was sick, being near death.
 Prevented Them Getting Work.
 PrestWood tried to prevent the old man from getting work, and proceeded to have him and the boys arrested by making affidavits before Noah Prest- wood, his son, charging the Englishes with burning some of his turpentine boxes.
 This charge, 1t was admitted on the stand, was absolutely groundless. but the excuse was given that he had En- glish arrested because the old man re- fused to put out the fire and got mad when requested to do so.
 Goodson arrested the Englishes. car r1ed them before Noah Prestwood. the justice, and, it is alleged, they were Informed that the case was not bail able, and that they would have to go to jail.
 The justice did not place any case on the docket against the family, and warrants were. not returned to any court by the bailiff.
 Forced Them Into servttude.
 When the Englishes were being car r1ed to jail they decided to accept the compromise offered, to give their serv- Ices until 1905, in order to pay the damage done to the turpentine boxes, which was t--e amc ant agreed upon to be paid for the labor of English and his two boys.
 The evidence showed that 1t was inn possible for the family to live on the allowance made, and Prestwood ceased to furnish rations when one of the boys tried to get additional work in the neighborhood.
 me appearance of the victims was startling. The boys did not know their ages and could not read or write. They were sallow-faced and hollow-eyed and their lips were white, showing that they did not receive sufficient suste- nance. The old father, bent with age, hunchbacked and nearly blind, was picture of Restitution and despair.
