Now. indeed. did Hereward have 1 cause, had he but known it, to re- gret having killed the Fairy Bear long ago. But. instead. he received the let- ter with strange pleasure; for not so long before he had seen Alftruda, and had found her very. very beautiful. He was stfi1 faithful to Torfrida. He loved her still. But he felt e strange thrill when he read Alftruda's letter, It warned him that Taliebois and 3fl- bert of Ghent and many more were about to attack him from all sides. The timely warning saved the Wake. After that he dehed the Normans for l two years. It was merry enough in the greenwood in summer; but in the win- | ter and the wet weather it was doleful

Gertig, 10 years old, living with
his parents at 1907 South G

The accident occurred about

ready to return home. Gertig
started ahead to get a shot at a

March Is, 1908, stands out as one
of the most cleverly planed and
executed in the history of train
robberies in the Northwest. Jack
Delaney, one of the best known
trailers of train robbers, admits
the job was perfectly carried out
by man with wonderful nerve
and knowledge of the game he
was playing. He says but very
little money was secured from the
registered letters, but neverthe-
less the financial failure of the
robbers work was not his fault.

Assuming the authority of a
veteran postoffice inspector, the
bandit boarded the Great North

train just as it pulled out of Bon

two mail clerks at bay at the
point of revolver, locked one OF
them in clothes closet and tied
the other to chair with ropes
after which he rode a distance OF
100 miles into Spokane, spending
almost four hours rifling -egister-
ed mail and loading and unload
ing mail sacks along the route.

a cigar while at the work.

dominant political issue.

dominant political issue.
As in previous conventions, the
political question is sure to play a
leading part. Up to two years age
the dominating element in the
federation opposed every form OF
political action. But early in 1908
Gompers called a conference OF
national union officers, and a
political policy, based upon the
theory of rewarding those who
progressed friendship for labor
and Furnishing those regarded as
enemies, was formulated. The
federation was semi-officiaIIy
placed on record as supporting
Bryan, but this movement did not
meet with the support of the re-
publican and socialist workers.
The latter, at the Denver conven-
tion last November, opposed this
policy, but were defeated. They
will again oppose the reward-and-
punish plan at Toronto, favoring
straight, clean-cut action in a
separate movement.
In this connection the report of
Gompers relative to his European
tour to study Industrial and politi-
cal conditions, and the recon-
mendations that he will probably
make will prove interesting. In
the. older countries the organized
workers are identified with So
cialist and labor parties, and have
their own representatives in all
the principal legislative assem-
blies to voice the demands of
labor.
The old jurisdictional controver-
sizes between the brewers on the
one hand and teamsters and fire
men on the other, between the
carpenters and woodworkers, be-
tween the plumbers and steam
filters. between the seamen and
longshoremen, and other con-
tests, will be heard again.
1t can be stated upon the best
OF authority that Gompers will
be, opposed tor reelection, al
though the chances are that he
will win another term. For some
years he has been chosen presi-
dent by practically unanimous
vote. 7. !. Lewis, president of
the miners; Jas. M. Lynch. of the
printers; Frank Hayes, of the IL
linois miners. and several others,
have been mentioned as possible
candidates against Gompers.
