the park.
I did not hurry matters at the start
The hedge caused a little trouble to
some of the troopers, and, my wish
being to bring as many Of them as /
could away from the Grange, it was
my cue to let them think that they
could catch me, but this had conse-
Quences Of different kind. Those who
could not take the leap stopped to
empty their muskets after me, and
then, finding the gate, they came
streaming through.
Old Noll had little relish for the
shooting, and when one Of the balls,
from an accidentally we'll aimed shot

ears he shook his head and plunged

On catching sight of me the men raised

such shout Of exultation as brought
all the laggards squirting up, and they
dashed toward me, making sure OF
their capture.
But was ready, and, picking my
way along the zigzag sides Of the fl
wood there, carried out the plan hao
formed. At the bottom of the valley
between the haunch and Dandy Chine
lie the Quagmire woods, as nasty and
dangerous bit Of country as the name
could mean, and into this purposed to
lead them by degrees. Noll and knew

men 1oundering In the Quagmire, call

We were soon clear off, and, urging
the old horse to his utmost efforts,
headed in the direction Of Hardinge
and ratified home at a pace which
would have surprised the soldiers in
deed could they have seen it.
Once at HardiIge 1 changed my cos
tune rapidly, while another horse was
saddled, and then galloped back
through the night to Lanston. 1 was all
anxiety to know how matters had sped
there in my absence and hoped indeed
that Master Lovelace had already been
released and was away with young
Gorham, as had arranged.
But to my chagrin my ruse had been
but partly a success. Captain Hilary
and Sir Burton were still at the
Grange and In the hall awaiting the re
turn of the troopers with their captive
A number of the guests had arrived
and were grouped about in the rooms
and hall looking nightly Ill at ease
and uncomfortable, while Audrey was
far more distressed than before and
had been weeping.
"You have been away, Sir Godfrey? r

The captains face darkened as said
this, while Sir Burton Prendergast

SENATOR CLARK.
Men Who Made Him Rich Still Live
in Shacks.


In short skit about Senator Clark
of Montana, a Saturday Evening Post
writer says: He was a producer;
what he has he took out of the
ground" Say, wouldn't that jar you?
Took it out of the gronnd-rats, He
took it out of the blood, bone and mus
Gle of the working class. Mr.. Clark
holds title to millions of wealth, and
he never produced dollar of it. The
workers are easy: they believe in 'di-
viding up" and SO Mr.. Clark has the
finest residence in New York, while
the fellows who produced it all live in
shacks and keep on voting the old
party tickets. Took it out of the
ground! All Mr.. Clark ever took out
of the ground would go in my vest
pocket and still leave room for my
weeks pay. And who ever heard of
one man building a railroad? Some
of these space writer's are too funny.
There is one thing, however, to be
said about Clark and all his kind

for their class. Pity the workers are

REASONS WHY.
Arguments That Convince You That
You Should Join the Union.

1. Because it tends to raise wages.
2. Because it prevents reduction
in wages, reductions rarely come to
we'll organized labor.
3. Because it aids in getting shorter
hours. Ask the union men who are
working eight hours, they can prove
it; they can show a union card also.
A. Because in union there is strength.
This is as true of wage earners as of
states
s. Because it makes labor respected.
Power wins respect from employer as
from all men.
g. Because it gives men self-reliance.
Z. Because it is good investment.
No other investment gives back SO
large a return for expenditure of time
ard money.
9. Because it makes thinkers. Men
need to rub intellect together in mat
tiers of common concern.
10. Because it enlarges acquaintance.
This world is too restricted for most
wage earners.
II. Because it reaches cooperation.
When laborers cooperate they will
own the earth.
~. Because it curbs seifishness; the
g,ab-all is toned down by the fear OF
the opinions of his fellows.
10. Because it makes the job bet

approves it. What argument can you
bring against it?
