1--WE kin do better somers else" was
Oncle Jazon's laconic remark, flung
back over his shoulder as he moved
briskly away from the spot just swept
by a FOUNDER. Come this yer way,
lieutenant. l hyer some o. the fellers
a-talkin' loud jes' beyant Legrace's
place. They amt no sort O sense airy
in to hit anything a-shootin' in the
dark nohow"
When they reached the thick of the
town there was a strange stir in the
dusky streets. Men were slipping from
house to house. arming themselves and
joining their neighbors. Clark had
sent an order earlier in the evening
forbiddng any street demonstration by
the inhabitants, but he might as well
have ordered the wind not to blow or
the river to stand still. Oncle Jazon
knew every man whose outlines he
could see or whose voice he heard. He
called each one by name:
-Here, Roger, fall in! Come, Louis,
Alphonse, Victor, Octave-venez lei,
here's the American army, come with
me!' His rapid French phrases leaped
forth as if shot from pistol, and his
shrill voice. familiar to every ear in
Nincennos, drew the creole militiamen
to him, and soon Beverleys company
had doubled its numbers, while at the
same time its enthusiasm and ability
to make a noise had increased in far
greater proportion. In accordance with
an order from Clark they now took po-
sition near the northeast corner of the
stocllade and began firing, although
in the darkness there was but little OPP
portunity for craftsmanship.
Oncle Jazon had found Citizens Lee
grace and Bosseron, and through them
Clark's men were supplied with am
munition of which they stood greatly
in need, their powder having got wet
during their long watery march. BY
0 o'clock the fort was completely
surrounded. and from every direction
the riflemen and musketeers were
pouring in volley after volley. Bev-
erley with his men took the cover of a
fence and some houses sixty yards

from the stockade Here to their sur
prise they found themselves below the
line of Hamilton's cannon, which, be.
ing planted on the second floor of the
fort, could not be sufficiently depressed
to bear upon them. A well directed
musket fire, however, fell from the
loopholes of the blockhouses, the bull
lets rafting merrily against the cover
behind which the attacking forces lay.
Clark, in passing hurriedly from com
pany to company around the line,
stopped for little while when he
found Beverley.
Have you plenty of ammunition

"a mighty sight more n we kin see

"Oho, is that you, Jazon? You're so

Beverley submitted to Clark's plan
with what patience he could, and al
night long fired shot for shot with the
best riflemen in his squad. 1t was @

His mouth was so full that he spoke
mumblingly and with utmost difficulty.
Nor did he glance at Adrienne, whose
face took on as great pallor as her
brown complexion could show.
Beverley ate but little of the food
He sat apart on piece of timber that
projected from the rough breastwork
and gave himself over to infinite mis-.
cry of spirit, which was trcbled when
he took Alices locllet from his bosom
only to discover that the bullet which
struck him had almost entirely de-
stroyed the face of the miniature.
He gripped the dented and twisted
case and gazed at it with the stare of
a blind man. His heart almost ceased
to beat and his breath had the rustlng
sound we hear when strong man dies
of Il sudden wound Somehow the de-
Placement of the portrait was taken by
his soul as the final touch of fate, sig
nifying that Alice was forever and
completely obliterated from his life.
He felt Il blur pass over his mind. He
tried in vain to recall the face and
form so dear to him. he tried to
imagine her voice; but the whole uni
verse was n vast hollow silence. For
a long while he was cold, staring, rigid.
Then the inevitable collapse came, and
he wept as only strong man can who
is hurt to death. yet cannot die.
Adrienne approached him, thinking
to speak to him about Rene, but he did
not notice her, and she went her way,
leaving beside him liberal supply Of
food.

OVERNOR HAMILTON receiv-
ed the note sent him by Colo
q mel Clark and replied to it with
curt dignity, but his heart was
quaking. AS a soldier he was true to
the military tradition, and nothing
could have induced him to surrender
his command with dshonor.
Lieutenant Governor Hamilton" he
wrote to Clark, "begs leave to acquaint
Colonel Clark that he and his garrison
are not disposed to be awed into any
action unworthy of British subjects"
Every brave Words said Helm when
Hamilton read the note to him, but
you'll sing a milder tune before many
minutes or you and your whole gar
rison will perish in a bloody heap.
Listen to those wild yells Clark has
enough men to eat you all up for break
fast. You'd better be reasonable and
prudent It's not bravery to court mas
sacre."
Hamilton turned away without a
word and sent the message, but Helm
saw that he was excited and could be
still further wrought up.
You are playing into the hands of
your bitterest enemies, the frog eat
ers," he went on. "These creoles, over
whom you've held hot poker all win
ter, are crazy to be turned loose upon
you, and you know that they've got
Good cause to feel like giving you the
extreme penalty. They'll give it to
you without a finch if they get the
chance. You've done enough"
Hamilton whirled about and glared
ferociously.
Helm what do you mean?" he de-
manded in a voice as hollow as it was
full of desperate passion.
The genial captain laughed as if he
/ had heard a good joke.
You won't catch any fish if you
! swear, and you look blasphemous," he
said with the lightness of humor char
acteristic of him at all times You'd
better say a prayer or two. Just re-

A crash of coalescing volleys from
every direction broke off his levity.
Clark was sending his response TO
Hamilton's lofty note. The guns of
freedom rang out a prophecy of tri-
umph, and the kissing bullets clucked
sharply as they entered the solid logs
of the walls or whisked through an
aperture and bowled over a man. The
British muskeeters returned the fire
as best they could, with a courage and
a stubborn GOODNESS which Helm open

his satisfaction whenever one Of them
was disabled.

the interests of this enterprise are their
interests; and further that they are
both serving common purpose. the
welfare of the community. And in or
der to advance the welfare of the COM
munity to the highest degree, their
best efforts must be put forth, and all
differences between them peacefully
settled.
When we have attained to such q
realization on the part of capital and
labor, all causes for strife between
them will be removed; all Indictment

and all the waste and suffering that
comes with such disorder will disap-

And then when these two elements
have become reconciled; when the
great forces of our country are work

boundless resources are utilized for the
one common good of all; then can our
country continue unhindered upon its
course of phenomenal growth and pro-

the leader of the nations in commerce
and industries, as it already is in the
lofty ideals of liberty and equality.

Personally think Jenkins lied
anyway about the basques, because
ladies haven't worn polonaises since
1846. (See Happy Home Journal for

WORTHY OF NOTICE

he had been in Chickasha just ore

time he has nearly run the cata-
logue in treating chronic cases.
Many Of them have been of the
most stubborn type having taken
nearly all other forms Of treatment
before resorting to Osteopathy.
DR.. Rays success in healing dis
eases without drugs, has proven to
Chickasha that Osteopathy is all
that is claimed for it. Considering
the fact that a large majority Of
the cases that come under this form
of treatments are chronic and Of long
standing, and that above eighty
per cent Of them are cured, this
alona is sufficient to recommend
Osteopathy as a safe method IN
acute cases such as fevefs etc.
Over ninety per cent. Of DR.. Rays
patients during the past year have
been greatly benefited eighty pei
