Monogah, w. Va, Dec. 11.-When
darkness came last night a total of
seventy-eight bodies had been brought
from the two wrecked mines at Mo-

It is believed that close on to a
hundred dead will have been recover

Scenes of touching sadness were
caused throughout the day by the bur-

The company issued a statement
Yesterday in which the claim is made
that later developments lead the Off
cials to believe there were only 260
men in the mine when the explosion
occurred. The statement, however, is
believed to be purely conjecture, and
no one who is familiar with condi-
tons here takes it seriously. 1t IS in

4O6 men were checked off as entering
the two mines last Friday morning

SCHOOL GIRLS STRIKE,
Boys Suspension 10 Cause Of Trouble
at WatertoWn,

at WATERFOWL.
The Watertown school board is hav-
ing troubles Of its own. Just now 1t
is facing a strike of the whole Junior
class Of the high school numbering
twenty-seven boys and girls.
The trouble was precipitated by the
suspension of seven boys of the class
for raising their pennant over the
school building in supposed defiance
Of the boards orders that only the
Stars and Stripes should float from
the high school fagpole. In support
Of the boys whom they believed inno-
cent Of any intentional disregard of
rules the twenty girls Of the class left
the assembly room of the high school
in a body, and refused to return until
the boys were exonerated by the
board.
The principal of the high school is
sure the order of the board was pub
lished, while the class is equally firm
in maintaining that only their presi-
dent and two other girls in the class
ever heard of the ruling Of the board
made only a night or two previous to
the raising of their flag. The presi-
dent Of the board is out Of the city
and so no action has yet been taken
by that body on the strike"
1t is rather a perplexing question:
for the board to settle, as it does not
wish to be unjust to the class, nor in
credulous of the principal, nor let lax

CHAPTER ~.

The following week Bob returned to
the Office He had not changed, and
yet he had changed greatly. Rest had
apparently done much for him. His
color was good, his step elastic as of
old, and his head was thrown back as
II he were buckled up for the fray and
wanted all to know 1t. Yet there was
something in the eye, in the setness Of
the jaw, in the hair-trigger calm, yet
flercely savage grip in which he closed
his strong hands on the arms of his
chair, that told me more plainly than
words that this was not the optimistic,
soft-hearted Bob BROMLEY l had
known and loved. l could not help
feeling that If had been a leader Of
the Russian terrorists, and this man
who now sat before me had come to
my ken when l was selecting bomb
throwers, I should have seized upon
him of all men as the one to stalk the
car or his marked minions. Surely
the iron that had entered Bobs soul
week before had affected his whole be-
ing. l think Beulah Sands had some
such thoughts. For l saw shadow
Of perplexity cross her broad, low fore
head after her first meeting with him,
shadow that had not been there
before
For days after Bob's return I saw
little of him. 1 think Beulah Sands
saw less. During stock exchange hours
he spent most of his time on the floor.
but he executed few of our orders. He
merely looked them over and handed
them out to his assistants. AS far as
could learn, he spent much of his
time there yesterdaying through
hopes gfaveyards, a not uncommon
pastime for active exchange members
whose first through specials have been
open-switched by the System" tower
man. So strong had become this habit
of going about from pole to pole with
bent head and a far-off gaze that his
fellow members began to humor and
respect 1t. They all knew that Bob
had gone up against the Sugar panic
hard. No one knew how hard, but all
guessed from his changed appearance
and habits that it must have been a
bone-smashing blow Nothing so
quickly and so deeply stirs a stock ex-

member as to know that "They" have

he has been a good fellow. They will
