CHAPTER Ill.

~ ARNETTS ranch, one of his
X chief amusements, lay at the
head of a valley surrounding
- a spring which was the source
Of Wildcat creek. The buildings stood
just where the ravine opened out upon
a grassy meadow. 1t was a comforta-
BILE place, shielded from the desert
winds by the low hills to the north,
while a small artificial pond, graveled
and trimmed with cottonwoods and will
lows, gave it enviable distinction
among the bleak and barren farm
steads. 1t was known as the Goldfish
RANCH" for the reason that at one time
Barnett had filled the pond with orna-
mental fish.
At about o'clock of lot and wind
less July day a horseman galloped
swiftly up the valley into the yard and
was met at the door of the house by a
tall. composed young fellow in broad
hat and spurs.
Hello, Perryt' he said quietly.
You made good time
Perry, a young Mexican, showed a
score of his white teeth in a grin.
Here is letter. Some people coming
to rancho tonight"
The young man tore the end from the
long envelope and read the letter In
silence. His face darkened. ssWell.

the opinion of the New York Journal
of Commerce, will also suffer. To
quote:
1--WE do not believe for a moment
that it can succeed in it's purpose. The
forces of competition are too strong
for the cohesion of any such vast body
of workmen long enough to effect such
a colossal object. The combination
is sure to go to pieces under the at
tempt, but in the meantime vast in
jury may be done. Capital may suf-
fer losses, labor may sacrifice itself
and be sacrificed, industries may be
temporarily disorganized and traffic
interrupted, and disastrous consequent
ces may be entailed upon the whole
mass of the people. The sympathy of
the public, the power of opinion, the
authority and influence of government
within the range of it's jurisdiction,
should be against any such conspira-
cy for the death of competition and
the triumph of monopoly is one of the
great basic industries of the coun-
try"

OLD REPORTER WAS HARDENED.

Probably Not His First Attendance
at an Execution.
Sir Wemyss Reid wrote as follows
Of one Of his early experiences as a
reporter: "On the first occasion Of
witnessing an execution, as I stood
trembling at the foot Of the scaffold
on which the victim was about to ap-
pear, I noticed an old reporter, for
whom I entertained a great personal
respect, pacing up and down beside
me, reading the new testament.
"In the passion Of horror and pity
that filled my young heart 1 con-
cluded that my friend was seeking
spiritual comfort in view of the event
In which we were about to take part
as spectators and recorders. I said
something to him about the horror
Of the act we were shortly to witness.
"He looked up with a placid smile
from his reading and said gently
for he was essentially a gentleman:
Yes, very sad, very sad; but let us
be thankful it isn't raining And
then he calmly returned to his daily
reading of the Word"

THE MENACE OF A COAL STRIKE.

There Is something radically wrong
in conditions which permit any COM
mitee or set of men, capitalists or
working men, says the New York
Journal of Commerce, Ito suspend an
important industry of the country for
even a day." And much the same
opinion comes from many another
source at this crisis in the coal re-
gions. No sympathy whatever seems
to exist in the public mind and heart
for the miners. 1t seems unlikely,
too, at this writing, that the President
will intervene in this instance. The
New York Sun is no friend of organic
ed labor, but the opinions it expresses
concerning the coal situation seem
to be echoed pretty largely through
out the country, excepting of course,
the labor press. Says The Sun:
at is to The interest of the consum-
ers, that is, of the great majority of
the people, that coal shall continue to
be mined. 1t will continue to be mined
If the authorities, local, county, and
state, do their duty. They must pre-
vent disorder and protect non-union
workmen, by force if necessary, by all
the armed force of the state If neces-
sary.
"This elementary duty was not per-
formed in the last anthracite strike.
This year there is no sympathetic pub
lie sentimentality upon which weak

violence. The public has learned
something since 1902. 1t sympathizes
with itself. The law is not on strike.
1t must keep at work. 1t must work
harder than ever"
BY maintaining the principle of open
shop, thinks the New York Evening
Post, "the operators are upholding one
of the fundamentals of democracy"
The press express Indignation at the
utter disregard both miners and opera
tors have shown the public. "The gen.
eral public" says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, whose interests are osten.
tatiously ignored by both the miners
and operators, have a profound con-
Germ in this trouble" The public is
already footing the bills AS the New
York World observes, to retail deal
ers the strike is nothing but an op-
portunity Ito rake in more dollars for
themselves" The one thing left the
consumer is to pay. To cut off the
supply of $4,000 900 tons of anthracite
and several times that amount of bit.

Press, would be a hardship that

AMERICAN OFFICER
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
Lieut.. Clarence England Is
Victim of Shot Fired From
French Ship.

CHEFOO, China, July 29.-Lieut.
Clarence England, navigating officer Of
the United States cruiser Chattanooga,
was wounded Mt about noon today by a
rifle bullet fred by a member of the
crew of the French armored cruiser Du-
petit Thouras and died Mt clock this
evening.
The Chattanooga, with Lieut.. En-
gland on the bridge, was proceeding
from the harbor to the target range,
just outside, and was passing tho French
squadron, which was anchored near the
American squadron, and was engaged in
small arms practice, The Chattanooga
after several bullets had struck the side
of tho ship, signalled to the Frenchmcn
to cease firing, but before this was ac-
complished Lieut.. England was struck
in the back at the base of the spine,
probably by richochet bullet, which
left his body under the arm.
The crew Of the Lupctit Thouras
later continued their practice from tho
deck Of the cruiser. Their fire was di-
rected at targets in the water, diff
fering from the American practice Of
landing men on q barren island at the
entrance of the harbor. The French
squadron here consists OF nine ships
and the American Of seven.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2S,-It is evi-
refusal to accept tho challenge at this

Although the time is not propltious
for the peasantry, as the country Is in
the midst Of tho harvest season, the lead
ers believe a month or six weeks at most
will suffice for this, and confidently ex-
poet that their campaign Will be aided
by the universal repressions to which
the Government Will be compelled to re-
sort In its policy OF open warfare against
revolution.

the best evidence that he is not master

Tho appeal was IN part as follows,
"The Car has dispersed the Dumn,
"This small man, trembling on his
throne FOR his life and power like an
aspen leaf, has with one stroke OF the

Russia and called into life O new series
of murders, robberies and outrages.
'The Russian Government will now

lawlessness, they will once more appeal
to the world by their deeds. They will
once more commence to annihilate the
leaders of the people and once again
having done away with the leaders of
the people, they will begin war against
the defenseless people, who had been so
patiently awaiting for the triumph Of

"The black, bloodsoaked wings of

Gorky then declares that he thinks
not, and that people who live quietly
when everything around them Is soaked
in blood arc simply satiated animals,
saying:
''f such crying horrors occur as
those which we witness in Russia, true
men and women cannot remain quiet

He closes with an appeal for help,
