As Mr.. BsaverS came down from his
clients library, he met Mrs. Droone. the
housekeeper, in the circular hall. There
was something pathetic and wistful about
the woman's face, drawn, sallow,N heavily
lined, with It's prim setting Of iron gray hair,
and he made haste To re2ssure her.
"Yes, it is all right Mrs. Droone. " he said.
"the new will is signed and sealed end wit

beneficiary, as is right in view of the fact
that Mr.. Hard wick's only relative is the
degenerate and criminal Grannis, and that

There is not another district of the same
restricted area in the whole Of Greater
New York that supports so many book
stores as the so-called Stun Of the lower
East Side. The people of the neighbor-
hood are poor. says the outlook. but they
are not SO poor that they cannot always
spare a little for a good book. The four
largest OF these book stores are strung
along Canal street from the Bowery east TO
Allen street.

This Is no more due to bad manners than
the wearing Of the hat-a ritualistio sur

footsteps retreated, not to return.
Time passed insensibly under the sur
prise and shook. The fall had Jared the
young lawyers perceptions; the close, diff

For hours he lay as If asleep before 1t
seemed to occur TO him to struggle once
more. Then he kicked out his legs-the
trammels fell from them. He threw out his
arms-they were freed by the first exertion.
He cast aside the heavy curtains; he stag

The parlor was vacant and on the centre

the articles that had been taken from him.
Mr. Beavers passed into the next room.
1t also was unoccupied. There were no
signs hat an invalid had occupied it. On
the contrary. tho mantel was adorned with
the butt Of a cigar, a pile Of ashes and a half
emptied flask.
This was Mr.. Beavers's first adventure on
the broad road Of life. He was astounded
at the cunning; he was terrified by the vio-
lence which had been employed.
1t was ono thing to study a criminal con-
fict from afar as an expert; it was quite an
other to be in the very midst OF the ruck and
carnage and to get the worse OF it. He felt
sure that the couple who had beguiled and
assaulted him we're now far beyond reach.
He dreaded publicity, ridicule, and 80 he
sneaked from the house without a word
of complaint; nor did he breathe freely
until he was safe in his W. quiet study
under the evening lamp. A letter lay on

the one remaining clue essential to the
solving of the Hardwick mystery.

President Mitchell acting for the min
ers' committee. in letter to the commit
tee Of operators outlined the reasons upon
based. as follows:
I'VE favor uniform scale Of wages for
men paid by the day, hour or week. be-
cause of the fact that men performing
precisely the same character and. indeed
the same amount Of labor. cannot work
with any degree of cOntentment while
the compensation received by them is not
uniform. At the present time this condi-
ton exists in the anthracite fields. We
feel that the proposition which we have
submitted. fixing uniform rates for SINH
lar classes of labor. will appeal favor
ably to the members of your committee
and that the rates themselves are entirely
conservative and not in excess of rates
Paid to men performing practically. If not
exactly, the same class Of labor in btu
minous mines
We proposed an Increase Of 10 per cent.
in the rates paid To contract miners for
several reasons.
FIRST, the general industrial CONNER
ciai and trade relations of the country
JUSTLY an Increase of wages to all classes
oil TABOR. The prosperity of the coal car
rNlhS roads IS unprecedented: as Is DEM
onStrated by their reported earnings and
the enhanced value of their stock.
we favor an S-hcur work day because

bituminous districts of our country as
well as in many of the mining districts OF
Great Britain and the continent; and
eight hours is as long as a man can work
in coal mine without doing injury to his
own health and consequent injury to so
ciety. We believe that the establishment
of a maximum S-hour work day will not
reduce production materially. even if fig
ured upon the basis of output per man per
working day.
1--WE favor the system of weighing and
paving for coal by weight. wherever the
conditions of the vein would make this
system practicable, because the present
system, whereby coal is paid for by the
car has given rise to much discomfort.
owing to the varied sizes of cars now in
use and to the constant friction which
naturally arises when new cars are built
and introduced, and to the seemingly I'M
ceasing desire of the companies to have
the men load more coal upor these cars
without a corresponding increase in COM
penSa ton.
I'VE favor a reconstruction of the board
of Cancellation because IF the delays that
have occurred during the past three years
in the adjustment of grievances. Indeed
there are some cases which have been
in the hands of the board for two years
without a final decision having been rem
dered; ard in very few cases have final
decisions been reached in less than three
months time"
