July, 1904, and in the absence of the
President, the Vice-President, r. W.
Crumpler, called the meeting to or
der and proceeded to business. Every
Sub in the county was represented
and a rood crowd was present. Ev-
cry one seemed to be in good spirit
and full of love for the Order. We
had one of the best Alliance meet
ings that has been held in old John

Importance to the Order were dis
cussed freely. / hope that no other
county will lose any strength, but I
want to see the time come when old
Johnston may be the banner county

Officers were elected for the ensu-

County Alliance Meetings.

Editors Progressive Farmer:

A4GO4
On July 13, 1904, Cumberland
County Farmers Alliance held regu-
lar meeting at Flea Hill with Flea
Hill Sub. Brother Howard, Sampson
County Lecturer, made some re-
marks on organization and farming.
We like Brother Howard, know that
but little success can be made by
farming unless there is some system
applied to it as well as labor. La
borers for the farm should be train
ed so that they would know how to
do work correctly and to the best adj
vantage to themselves and most prof
liable to the farm.
Brother Gates, State Lecturer, also
addressed the audience for some
time, and nearly all present seemed
to be very attentive. We think
Brother Gates address will do g
great deal of good for the Farmers
Alliance, especially in Flea Hill
neighborhood.
1t certainly was the best county
Alliance meeting hat we have ever
had the pleasure of attending. We
kindly extend our heartfelt thanks to
the people who got up such an inter
esting meeting, and especially to the
ladies for furnishing and preparing
such an excellent dinner. A person
who is minus a cook would not regret
if it were possible for him to own
one who could prepare such dinners
every day for him.
Cumberland County Farmers AL
lance will hold it's next regular meet
ing with Goodwin Sub at Goodwin on
Wednesday before the second Thurs
day in October.

Deep in these thoughts he wandered
on at random. He suddenly came to
himself in the toughest quarter of Bay
City.
Through the summer night thrilled
the sound of cachinnations pointed to
the colors of mirth. \ cheap piano
ratified and thumped through an open
window. Mems and wcmen's voices
mingled in rising and falling gradua-
tions of harshness. Lights streamed
irregularly across the dark.
Thorpe became aware of Il figure
crouched in the doorway almost at his
feet. The dickering rays of distant
street lamp threw into relief the high
lights of violin and head. The face
upturned to him was thin and white
and wolfish under a broad white brow.
Dark eyes cleaned at him with the
expression of fierce animal. Across
the forehead ran long but shallow
cut from which blood dripped. The
creature clasped both arms around Il
violin. He crouched there and stared
up at Thorpe, who stared down at him.
"What's the matterT' asked the lat
ter finally.
The creature made no reply, but
drew his arms closer about his instru-
ment. Thorpe made sign to the I'M
known to rise.
"Come With me-" said he, land Til
have your forehead attended to-
The eyes cleaned into his with a
sudden savage concentration. Then
their owner obediently arose.
Thorpe now saw that the body be-
fore him was of a cripple, short legged,
hunchbacked, long armed, pigeon
breasted. The large head sat strangely

barrels and crates. In their impro-
vised stalls the patient horses seemed
to catch hint of shore going and
whinnied. BY 10 o'clock there loomed
against the strange coast line of the
Pictured rocks a shallow bay and what
looked to be a dock distorted by the
northern mirage.
"That's her, said the captain.
Two hours later the steamboat slid
between the yellow waters of two out
lying reefs and with slackened speed
moved slowly toward the wharf of log
cribs filled with stone.
Thorpe knew very we'll that the
structure had been erected by and be-
longed to Morrison & DAILY, but the
young man had had the foresight to
purchase the land lying on the deep
water side of the bay. He therefore
anticipated no trouble in unloading, for,
while Morrison & DAILY owned the pier
itself, the land on which it abutted be-
longed to him.
From the arms of the bay he could
make out dozen figures standing near
the end of the wharf. When, with pro-
peller reversed, the Pole Star bore
slowly down toward her moorings,
Thorpe recognized Dyer at the head of
eight or ten woodsmen. 1t looked sus-
picious.

Thorpe. "The shore belongs to me-"
''This dock doesn't" {" retorted the 9TH
e. sharply. "and you can't set foot on

but sullen despair that brooded Oh the
white countenance.
At the hotel Thorpe. examining the
cut, found it more serious in appear
ance than in reality. With few
pieces Of sticking plaster he drew it's
edges together.
Then he attempted to interrogate lis
dnd.
"What is your name:" he asked.
"Phil.''
"Phil what?''
Silence.
"How did you get hurt?''
No reply.
"Were you playing your fiddle in one
IT those houses?'
The cripple nodded slowly.
care you hungry?'' asked Thorpe,
with sudden thoughtfulness.
YES" replied the cripple, with a
lightning CLEAN in his wolf eyes.
Thorpe rang the bell. To the boy
who answered it he said:
Bring me half a dozen beef sand
wiches and glass Of milk. and be
quick about it,
do you play the fiddle much:" con-
dnued Thorpe.
The cripple nodded again.
Lets hear what you can do"
"They cut my stringsy' cried Phil,
with passionate vail.
The cry came from the heart, and
Thorpe was touched by it. The price
Of strings was evidently big sum.
''I'll get you more in the morning" :"
said he. "Would you like to leave Bay
City?
"Yesv' cried the boy, with passion.
"You would have to work. You
would have to be chore boy in lum-
Der camp and play fiddle for the men
when they wanted you to-"
"I'll do it." said the cripple.
"All right; then I'll take you,' re-
pied Thorpe.
The cripple said nothing nor moved
q muscle Of his face, but the CLEAN Of
the wolf faded to give place to the soft,
a6ectionate glow seen in the eyes Of a
setter dog. Thorpe was startled at the
change.
A knock announced the sandwiches
and milk. The cripple fell upon them
with both hands in sudden ecstasy
Of hunger. When he had finished. he
hooked again at Thorpe, and this time
there vere tears In his eyes.

Thorpe lay awake for some time aft
er retiring. Phil claimed share Of his
thought In an hour or so lie dozed.
He dreamed that the cripple had grown
to enormous proportions and was over
shadowing his life. A slight noise out
side his bedroom door brought him to
his feet.
He opened the door and found that
in the stiffness of the night the poor
deforlned creature had taken the blan-
kets from his bed and had spread Them
across the doorsill of the man who had
befriended him.

He alighted squarely upon his feet.
Without an instant's hesitation he
rushed on Dyer and with one full, clean
INFLOW stretched him stunned on the
dock. For moment there was pause
of astonishment. Then the woodsmen
closed upon him.
During that instant Thorpe had be-
come possessed of weapon. 1t came
hurting through the air from above to
fall at his feet. Shearer, with the cool
calculation of the pioneer, had seen
that it would be impossible to follow
his chief and so had done the next best
thing, thrown him heavy iron belay-
ing pin.
Thorpe hit with all his strength and
quickness. He was conscious once of
being on the point of defeat. Then he
had cleared little space for himself.
Then the men were on him again more
savagely than ever. One fellow even
succeeded in hitting him a glancing
blow on the shoulder.
Then came sudden crash. Thorpe
was nearly thrown from his feet. The
next instant score of yelling men
leaped behind and all around him.
There ensued q moments scuffle the
sound of dull blows, and the dock was
clear of all but Dyer and three others
who We're. like himself. unconscious.
The captain, yielding to the excitement,
had run lis PROV plump against the
wharf.
Some of the crew received the moor
ing lines. All was ready for disem-
barkation.
Bryan Moloney, a strapping Irish
American of the big boned, red cheek
ed type. threw some water over the
four stunned combatants. Slowly they
came to life. They were promptly
yanked to their feet by the irate river
men. who commenced at once to be-
stow sundry vigorous kicks and sl,ak-
ings by way of punishment. Thorpe
interposed.
"Quit it," he commanded. "Let them

The men grunbled. One or two We're
inclined to be openly rebellious. =.
IF hear another peep out of you,"
said Thorpe to these latter, you can
climb right aboard and take the re-
turn trip" He looked them in tie eye
until they muttered and then went on:
''Now, we've got to get unloaded and
our goods ashore before those fellows
report to camp. Get right moving and
hustle"
So Dyer and his men picked them
selves out of the trouble sullenly and
departed. The ex-scaler had nothing
to say as long as he was within reach,
but when he had gained the shore he
turned.
"You won't think this is so funny
when you get in the law courts!" he
shouted.
Thorpe made no reply.

the Pole Star was ready to continue

"How do you like it, Tim:" asked
Thorpe that evening.
''She's all right" replied the river
man, with emphasis, which for him
was putting it strong.
At noon the following day the party
arrived at the second dam. Here
Shearer had decided to build the per-
manent camp. 1njun Charley was con.
structing one of his endless series Of
birch bark canoes. Later he would
paddle the whole string to Marquette
where he would sell them to hard
ware dealer for $3.50 apiece.
Injun Charley looked up and gruntea

"How are you, Charles:' greeted
Thorpe reticently.
"You gettum pine? Good" replied
Charley in the same tone.

James Walsh, Grand President of the
Licensed Tugmen's Protective Associa-
ton returned to this city Wednesday,
after an absence of seven weeks. Dur
ing his absence Mr. Walsh adjusted
many differences existing in marine
circles along the chain of lakes. He
first went to Toledo where he met the
Dredge owners. There after a pro-
longed conference irst-class agree
ment was secured. It is much better
than prevailed last year. Sunday
work, which was in vogue at Buffalo,
is discontinued. Wages of captains and
engineers were raised in some cases
from IS to SO per month.
Mr.. Walsh then went to Cleveland
where a conference of forty-one diff
ferent marine labor interests was held
with the dock mana gers. An entire re-
adjustment Of the vase scale was made
Some men secured higher wages while
others submitted to decrease Of not
more than ~ per cent.
A union was organized at Toledo.
After the conferences were over, Mr.
Walsh made a tour of the lakes, visit
ing unions Of the LIP. A. President
Keefe, of the Longshoremen, accom-
panied Mr.. Walsh on a portion of the
trip. Mr.. Walsh will remain in Duluth
for a short period. After navigation
is fully opened he will establish head
quarters here.
