Un- fortunately. they fell in debt to Morito neighboring samurai. whose evil eye fell upon Kesa. and he coveted her with all his soul. He wished Kesa for his wife, but while Wataru lived this could not be with honor. But enemy's life was but small htndrance-one stroke of the keen samurai sword and Kesa could be free So, Morito reasoned. and pressed this plan upon Kesa's old mother. who. in turn. pleaded with her daughter. till Kesa found herself between two fires, fillal versus conjugal love and duty
 Al last. after bitter weeping, she con- sented, and plans were laid. On a certain night Wataru would return from a journey. and. after his bath, would lie down on his own pallet among the sleeping ones in the family hall. Morito could easily find him for his hair would be wet from the bath
 On the appointed night Morito erept through the hall. lit only by the andon's dim light He found watarus place; his hair wet and his face untitled in the covering. Hastily he spread down a nap- kin by the pillow, then. with one sharp swift stroke of his sword. severed the sleep CTS head.

As he turned the head to get good view. the sight froze him with horror, for 1t was the sweet piteous face of KeSa. She had sent her husband from harm, cut off her nair and prepared 1t to initiate his and meekIy laid down to die. that she might be true to both ties-dying, she fulfilled her tutiea as filial daughter and a faithful wife Tn those stern and cruel times many women had done excellently, but Kesa outshona them all

Miners Mass Meeting.

Ine SITlklnS miners are SOinB tO hold big mass meeting tomorrow morning at or near Ensley to which are invited not only miners but the citizens in general of the Pratt Mines division. At this mass meeting ad- dresses are to be delivered by leading members of the miners union and cit 1zens of Ensley. Pratt City, Vivian and other towns in the district who are in sympathey with the cause of the miners.
 The Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail- road Company has taken up the work of replacing the striking miners in the mines in the Pratt district with non- union labor and already a small amount of coal has commenced coming out No. mines, located near Vivian. The company announces it's intentions of placing non-union labor in the other mines of the district, having succeed ed in starting up work at all three of the mines in the Blue Creek region, in the southern portion of Jefferson coun- ty, though the production as yet in that section cannot be bragged about. In the Pratt district there are many miners who own their own homes while Ensley, Pratt City, Wylam and other little towns depend no little on the coal miners in their actual exist ence.
 There is no doubt but that the fight now on between the furnace companies and the coal miners union in this section of the State is to be to the finish. The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company, Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company and others who are interested in the strike have more than once reiterated their state ment that they do not intend to recog- nize the union any more and that their policy is to be "opep shop" The lead CTS of the miners claim that the coal being mined is not very extensive and what is coming out Is of a poor qual- ity. So far the strike has been devoid of any lawlessness as far as can be charged directly. The operat ors assert that the striking miners have through intimidation and other process kept off many men who have desired to work in the mines. On the other hand, the leaders of the miners state that they have admonished their men to be law abiding and abstain from commit ting any lawless acts.
