CHAPTER XI-

ITS as clear, my little friend, as the
blessed blue sky up there" said I to
Psyche. ''Those old rascals have given
us food to cease hammering and candles
to put out the fire for fear we should
succeed in betraying our Imprisonment
to the coast guard, who passes probably
once or twice a day along the cliff. 1t
never occurred to me that we might at
tract attention by those means; but now
it is obvious, the question arises whether,
instead of going on with our tunnel,
which we cannot hope to complete with
out weeks and weeks of patient toll, IL
would not be better TO devote all our
energies in this new direction. shouting.
hammering. sending up a cloud of smoke,
and doing anything else that might excite
the curiosity of anybody passing near.
We might even make a rod .ong enough
to thrust through the hole up there, by
splitting the slaves and binding them to-
gether, and tying my handkerchief to
the end we might agitate it from morn
ing till night in addition to the means
we already have. The rNtion is tempt
ing; what are the arguments against it?
I'm not more afraid of old Peter than
he is of me. But. he might square the
coast guard and he might find means
of rolling rubbish down to choke up the
hole above us, and he certainly would
stop the supply of food. We know what
that means. If we did not make our
selves heard in a few days II would be
all up with any chance of escape, so
that, on the whole, I doubt If any openly
offensive policy is wise"
Psyche, listening with the greatest at
tention, shook her head obviously, see
ing me do so.
Besides" continued, there is this
to consider. If an investiga lion should
be made these two old reprobates would
cut and run, and we should never see
them again. At first sight that does not
look like misfortune. But there's your
future welfare to consider, my poor
Psyche, and that depends very much upon
bringing the wretches t. justice who have
blighted your youth Revenge can do
us no good, but we must wiring out the
secret of your captivity; we must find
out your family, and restore YOU to those
from whom you were taken, that you
may have friends to love and to take care
of you when we two part"

blankly, and yet in tone 20 full of
mournful regret that could almost be-

words. The sound alone vas language
to her.

Psyche"
That word being one that was quite
understandable she dashed off with de-
light and returned with the stockings on
her arms ready for anything 1 might

Fair Dealings Between Employer

Business Prosperity.

The production and manufacture Of
lumber is one of the great industries
which have made Duluth famous. The
logging and sawmilling operations here
are conducted on a scale Of such mag
nitude as would astonishn even the
great lumbermen of a generation ago
in the white pine regions Of Michigan.
Hundreds Of thousands of dollars are
invested in the business and thou
sands Of men are given constant and
remunerative employment. There is
perhaps no other industry in our city
where so large an aggregation Of cap
ital and labor are continually in con-
tact, and both sides are deserving of
congratulation for exhibiting SO little
evidence of friction. Good; wages has
always commanded faithful and eff

named deserve special mention in these
columns. They have achieved great
success and the very fair treatment
accorded to their, employees makes
them deserving of even greater sue

THE ALGER-SMITH CO.,

Concerns which win to large ex-
tent the leadership in their kind of
business, and the esteem and con-
fidence Of the public, do so not by
mere chance but by honest efforts to
be fair and reasonable both with la
Dor and the public. Concerns which
deviate from this principle are certain
to fall of their own weight:
On, the other hand companies which
have invested considerable capital and
give: employment to large force of
men who are treated with fairness and
consideration are entitled to the con-
ddence and encouragement of all who
have the best interests of labor and
the city at heart. The Offices of Alger-
Smith & Co.. are located at 204-206
Lonsdale Bldg.
This point is we'll exemplified by the
Alger- Company. This company
has always exhibited a most friendly
and considerate, attitude toward the
cause of labor and the labor movement
and has made host Of friends among
our people. A concern of this kind
should always receive the hearty sup
port and encouragement. Of the public
in preference to others whose policies
are openly antagonistic or Indifferent
to the welfare and advancement of la
Dor. John Mdllen is the vice president
and manager of the company, which
has mills at Rice Point and West Du-

The officers Of this company are ex-
perienced and reliable men and promi-
nent citizens, and have proven them
selves to be broad-minded and public
spirited, and in all their dealings with
labor they have been most courteous

We are pleased to place the name
Of this firm among the prominent con-
Germs which are to be depended upon
as friends of conservative organized
labor.
Home industries give employment to
our people, increase the prosperity and
happiness Of our city, promote the well
fare Of our community and add COM
mercial value to the city. Organized
labor should now show its appreciation
Of this public-spirited institution and
lend It their hearty support and en-
couragement.

we are but showing that spirit of
reciprocity which is due to those con-
Germs which treat the great question
