SEQUEL Of A MINUET.



SIT was on the first day Of Peggy 8

Polly Dexter. her most intimate
friend, came bursting in.

Ing. "You have saved my life. l want

Poor Polly commiserated the teas

"Oh, just the ones you know" re-
piled Polly Then she added abruptly,
did you know that the Thurbers had
taken a cottage here for the season.
She looked at Peggy curlously as she
spoke, but her friends face was as
calm and innocent as that of baby.
Peggy rose and said In a carefully
Indifferent voice;

"All right, then" said Peggy, once

With a merry laugh Polly ran dowR-
stairs and out on to the board walk.
Peggy watched her a moment from
the window, and her eyes fingered al
most enylously on the two figures that
presently cast off IN the trim little
boat. 81 never saw any one so happy

NO PRIVACY IN THE GRAVE.

Letters of Famous Persons RuthIess1y
Rummaged When They Are Gone.
There Is no question Of literary eth
les on which opinions differ more sin
cerely than the degree to which the
private life of a great man rightly be-
comes public property after his death
Nealy 200 years ago Pope complained
that Cur1l, the publisher, by his prac-
tice of selling on the letters and rem
nants Of dead authors, had added q
new terror to death. 1t Is no new ter
ror now; we are familiar with such
proceedings and the majority of us are
content, while enjoying the last indis-
Greet revelation, to utter few CONVEX
sational protests, which prove the deli.
cacy of our feelings and encourage the
circulation Of the book.
A few who do not feel so secure II
their insignifcance from a similar ex-
posture, who, like Tennyson and
Thackeray, foresee an inteHminable
series of biographers each more ruth
less than the last In rummaging for
the unrevealed, may protest with pas
sion and take steps to prevent the v1o-
lation Of their posthumous privacy,
and for doing so some will think them
affected, some silly and some the only
men who show true dignity. In fact,
on this very matter every shade
of opinion is represented the
scale being marked at one end
by those who habitually inveigh
against "the vulgar and Unsuitable
curiosity" of the public and at the 9th.
er by editors like Wellington Wack,
who In his preface to these old love
letters laments over the insatiate nav
of the scrap basket" from which he
has snatched them.
For our curiosity, even when trivial,
there is a good deal to be said. 1t is
natural to want to know as much as
possible of the character Of the great
men who have nodded our thoughts,
directed our feelings, shared our ex-
periences, and to derive pleasure from
knowing their habits and how they
lived through an ordinary day is as
natural as to enjoy hearing such de-
tails about absent friends. But to pub
lish the secrets Of the famous requires
more excuse than the fact that, being
dead, they can not feel shame or dis
tEess Disclosures, II they are not IN
tended as exposures, must throw new
light upon their work and character or
upon events, or bring as a warranty
some gift of beauty or knowledge to
the common memory. The PRESENT.
ment of publicity is an unwholesome
burden to carry through life and tho
reYealers of private letters and papers,
who intensity it, are responsible for
infaming the self-eonsciousness Of au-
thors and Of everyone who comes near
them. Let them look to 1t that what
they publish has sound compensatory
value, for we are paying for the amuse-
ment they offer by loss Of natural
ness In our writer's and artists.--Lon-
don Speaker.

EIGHTEENMETDEATH
EXPLOSION In COAL NINE NEAR
DIAMONDVILLE, WYO.
Rescuers Are Driven Back-Shock Is
Felt All Over Town, Violently Rock
ing 6uIdings-Victims Are Instantly
killed-Pathetic Scenes at the Shaft
Explosion 100 Feet Underground.

Diamondville, Wyo., Dec. 4.-Eight-
cen miners lost their lives by an ex-
plosion in the Diamond Coal & Coke
company's mine No. l. 1t is believed
that all the men who persisted were
instantly killed. What caused the dis
aster is not definitely known, but the
theory advanced by the miners is that
a blown out" shot caused dust explo-
sion, which wrecked the mine. The
explosion was felt all over the town,
rocking buildings so violently that the
occupants ran out into the open. The
news that there had been another dis
aster at the Diamond mine the sec
ond in less tnan five years-spread
through the village. and practically
the whole population of Diamondville
flocked to the mine shaft. In the pre-
vious explosion, which occurred Feb
ruary 26, 1901, 80 miners persisted
Wives and children of the entombed
miners were among those who rushed
to the shaft, and the scenes there were
most pathetic. The. men were ready
to enter the shaft. 1t was impossible
to do SO, owing to the after effects
OIL the explosion, and Superintendent
sheldon insisted that all precautions
against fire should be taken.
The explosion occurred HOO feet
underground and at least 5000 feet
from the mouth of the shaft.
The 500 coal diggers of the Diamond
mines were assisted in rescue work
by many miners who came over from
Kemmerer -ew miles distant.
Every man in the mine persisted.
The night force was small, their work
being limited to knocking down coal
to be taken out by the day shift. Had
the explosion occurred in daytime, the
loss of life would have been far
greater.
The Diamond Coal &c Coke company
is a Salt Lake UIty concern. The out
put of the mine is largely shipped to
Salt Lake City and the shelters at
Anaconda, Mont.
Many English miners, who came di-
rect to the mines from England, are
employed in Diamondville, and it is
believed that a majority of the dead
are Englishmen.

DEMANDS REJECTED
RAILWAY EMPLOYEES At WARSAW
join TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE.
Government Will Not Concede a Point
-Thirty-Four Provinces in State of

Police at Warsaw, Poland, Said to

Warsaw, Poland, Dec. 4.-The gov
mands of the railway employees, and
the latter have joined with the tele-
graphers in their strike.
Large crowds of strikers are pa
trolling the various depots and are re-
fusing to let any of the weak kneed"
return to their posts. The police are
powerless to prevent incendiary as
semblages at which the speakers con-
tinue to urge an uprising in force.
The soldiers having been withdrawn
from patrol duty, the work is thrown
upon the police, Who are thoroughly
inadequate.
An army officer, who has just ar
rived from Sebastopol, states that i'm
mediately after the capture of the
mutineers there, drumhead courtmar-
tials were held, at which Lieutenant
Schmidt leader of the uprising, and
all of the warrant officers from the
feet who participated were ordered
shot to death. More than 200 We're
killed in this way before the officer

PEOPLE WHO "DlsAPPeAR"
And Are Never Heard from Again By
Their Friends.

More than 5000 persons annually
disappear In the United States and
are never heard from again. At first
blush the assertion seems incredible.
but police statistics furnish confrma-
don. The actual figures, based on II
conservative calculation, are even
more alarming than those given, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. In fact the re-
ports of the police departments of the
larger cities show that in the twelve
months just passed 1600s of the per.
sons who disappeared during the year
were never reported as found; but the
shrewd police officers, accustomed to
the eccentricities Of human nature. are
Of the opinion that the return of many
thousands of these persons, through
neglect or Indifference, was never re-
ported at police headquarters. But
even after making allowances Of this
feature of the case it Is reasonably
certain that more than 5000 persons
were swallowed up in oblivion.
The tragedies Of real life hidden
within these peculiar cases, If they
could but be brought to light, would
rival many Of the novels planned by
the worlds greatest writers. No sub
ject that can be imagined has such
weird fascination as that of the thou
sands who have gone down this grand
canyon of oblivion.
II would ha -.
pages with the absorbing stories of
these curious cases but nearly every
reader of the newspapers, whether he
live in village, town or city. is proba-
bly, acquainted with some instance of
the kind concerning either relative or
friends. Men or women who have
lost all they have treasured most in
life In this manner go about vacantly,
humbly, ever waiting for the return
Of the missing one-a dream that never
comes true.
A glance at the police statistics in
a few of the leading cities shows the
ver-growing extent of the "disap-
pearance habit" In the city Of New
York during the last year 1,415 per,
sons were reported to the police rs
missing. OF this number 751 return
ed to their homes, leaving 664 still
missing or unaccounted for. In Phila-
delphia during the same period 1912
ersons were reported as missing. OF
this number 1865 returned to their
homes, leaving 367 who were still in
the land Of the missing In Boston
during the year All persons were re.
ported as missing and 109 Of these
were afterward located, leaving 309
unaccounted for. This percentage OF
unexplained cases is larger In proper
ton than either New York or Philadel
mia, but superintendent PIERCE is OF
the opinion that number Of those
persons reported as missing afterward
sought their homes and the friends OF
relatives neglected to notify the police
Of the fact.

ST. PETERSBURG
IS ISOLATED
TELEGRAPH COMMUNICATION Is
CUT FROM OUTSIDE WORLD.
Rambling Volcano of Revolution May
Erupt Any Hour and overwhelm
Nation-Batic a Danger Spot
Troops at Revel and Neighborhood
in Open Mutiny.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 4.-Intense
alarm prevails here. Communication
with the outside world by telegraph
ceased this morning, when the Fin
nish operators joined their Russian
comrades.
The embassies, legations and banks
are hastily organizing courier services
to both the Finnish and German from
tiers.
The population is almost in a state
of panic, fearing that the railroads
will stop running and that the in
habitants will have no mode of flight
in the event of the cataclysm, which
they seem to fear is imminent. Stories
of the spread of the disaffection in the
guards regiments are in everybody's
mouth, and the revolutionaries con-
tinue to boast that the troops will no
longer fire on the people.
This morning newsboys were openly
hawking tlysheets in the streets con-
tanning an account of an alleged re-
volt at Tsarskoe Selo, and crying out:
THE emperor's palace guard has
mutinied"
According to reliable information
the only foundation for these stories
is the arrest of the soldiers of the
Nevertheless, in their excited state
the people gave ready credence to all
rumors, and this adds to the general
alarm.
The air is also filled with stories of
the alleged revolution at the palace
Friday in which Grand Duke Boris is
said to have attempted the life of
the emperor. These stories, likewise,
are untrue, but they prove that a revo-
luton in the palace is considered pos
sible at any time.
This situation has greatly increased
the dangers of a financial crash. The
people, even the commercial interests,
are withdrawing their money from the
banks, converting it into gold, hoard
ing it or demanding foreign exchange,
which the state bank is issuing upon
the foreign balances of the govern
ment. Exchange on London yesterday
rose to $50, over a rouble above the
normal.
The American Press has just
learned from high authority that the
situation in the Baltic region has
grown exceedingly grave, and the
troops at Reval and neighborhood are
in open mutiny. This was the real
cause of the extraordinary cabinet
meeting which was held at Tsarskoe
Selo last night.
All attempts to secure details of the
uprising have thus far failed. Accord
ing to reports the attitude of the
troops in the Baltic provinces is re-
garded as the most dangerous factor
that has thus far developed.
A strike of the policemen and the
house porters of st. Petersburg is
scheduled for tomorrow Sunday.
Count White continues to refuse to
deal with the telegraphers, declaring
that for the government to yield would
be equivalent to it's abdication at their
order. Nevertheless the surrender of
the government to their demand for
the dismissal of M. Durnovo, acting
minister of the interior, is regarded as
inevitable.
Instructions to the governors and
the local authorities are being sent
with great difficulty over the railroad
telegraph lines.

ing the prOnoun.
1T isn't Mr., Thornton. am Jack, -"
came the reply.
Peggy bit her lip and half withdrew
her hand as she and Jack moved for
ward to the center of the square. The
rich color flooded her cheeks, but some
how after her first movement of angry
surprise she could not repress the glad
Joy that surged In her heart
Don't be angry, Peggy" pleaded
Jack In low voice as they once more
stood together. But you absolutely
refused to see me, and you would not
read my letters, and | had to tai,
with you somehow"
The girl listened quietly, waving her
fan nonchalantly.
They were separated again before
she could reply, but in the next fig
ure as Jack knelt at her feet 1t was
in real and not pretending alteration,
Peggy knew. Their quarrel seemed
50 foolish now. so trivial a thing to
mar the happiness Of two lives! Peg
gy drew long sigh as she courtesled
low to her handsome partner.

and forgetP" whispered Jack as he
kissed her hand. IF 1t is give me

she moved slowly In the last figure Of

one final deep courtesy she gently
slipped her dance card into her part
ner's hand.
