During the few weeks between Rourke
Trenham,s return from London and his
marriage, a great change was effected at
Winterfeld. Its interior arrangement, as
far as possible within it's narrow limits,

laid out with far more care than were
these surrounding Ronrke's old home. In

well as constant, management, the old
farm was made a picturesque and even
luxurious home. Yet his one most often

NO COAL MINE STRIKE SOON.

Workers Will Not Quit Until Fall.
Even If Refused Demands.
1t is said that even should the coal Cd
orators refuse to grant any of the an
thracite mine workers demands there
will be no strike until next fall. Mex
close to the union leaders say the miners
would net risk a strike at the threshold
Of summer, especially in view of the fact
that the operators AVE 100000 or
12,OOO,O 900 tons Of coal on hand. At the
national convention in January it was
generally understood to be the sense of
the scale committee, composed Of the
twenty-five district presidents, that there
should be no suspension of mining, such
as there was three years ago, whether a
new agreement was reached or not.

YEARLY. 1t seemed as if Unas love was

And the only ~compensc she asked was
a long, lonely ride at times when thought
was heaviest a long, lonely ride when
she was sure that ROurke and Una were
together and that she never could meet
him in the meadow roads and quiet lanes.
So the time went on to Unas wedding
day, until the %dawning of that chilly,
bright November day which was to see
Una Eladc a wife. The old church looked
very beautiful that morning, but sh"
hardly saw it; nor did Rourke's look

tender, at her side, looking on no one
else.
