Nathaniel looked and his blood
grew hot.
Il have seen such things in the

men!"
The councillor caught him by the
arm.
'They are coming!"
In the direction of the Jail the
crowd was separating. Men crushed
back on each side, forming a narrow
aisle, even the whispering of the
women ceased. A moment later three
men appeared in the opening between
the spectators. One of these. who
walked between the other two, was
stripped to the waist. About each
of his naked wrists was tied a leather
thong and these thongs were held by
the mans guards. The prisoners
face was livid; his hands were red
with blood that dripped from his lac
Grated wrists; his eyes glared malig-
nantly and his heaving chest showed
that he had not been brought from the
log prison without struggle.
"Ah, it's Wittle first!" breathed the
councillor. "It's he who said his wife
should not wear short skirts"
At the edge of the circle the prison
'er hesitated and the muscles in his
arms and chest grew rigid. Those of
the crowd nearest to him drew back.
Then a sudden change swept over the
mans features and he walked quick
ly to the stake and kneeled before it.
The thongs about his wrist were tied
to the straps of the cross-piece and
the whipper took his position. AS the
first lash fell, cry burst from the
lips of the victim. When the whip
descended again he was silent A
curious sensation of sickness crept
over Nathaniel as he saw the red
gashes thicken on the white flesh.

ARCHBISHOP z YAN DEAD
DISTINGUISHED .PRELATE PASS.
20 INTO ETERNITY.
Cathedral Bells Tollins Tells PhIla.
dslphlans OF Metropolitan's
End.

Philadelphia, Penn. - Rev. Patrick
John Ryan. archbishop, Of Philadel-
phia and metropolitan Of Pennsylvan.
Ia, died at the arch episcopal resi-
dence in this city Of the several weeks
illness.
The members of the immediate fam
lily Of Archbishop Ryan were at the
bedside when he passed away. They
included his sister, Mrs. Edward Bow.
en-, Of this city, and Mrs. James Ma.
guire, of Boston.
Cathedral Bell Tolls.
A few minutes after the prelate had
passed away, the deep.toned bell of the
cathedral began tolling off 70 strokes,
one for each year of the arch-bishop's
life. The news of the archbishop's
death was flashed to all parts of the
city and in every parish the bells Of
the Roman Catholic churches were
tolled.
Archbishop Ryan was considered the
greatest of the line of bishops and
archbishops that have occupied the
Episcopal see of Philadelphia since its
erection in 1908. His reputation was
national and in his home city he was
accorded popular recognition that
.ar surpassed that of any of his prede-
cessors, he having been on the friend
liest terms with men of all religious
denominations: He was one of the
foremost pulpit orators in the Catholic
church in this country.
The archbishop was born in Thurles,
County of Tipperary, Ireland, on Feb.
20, 1881. His ancestors on the pater-
nal side were originally the Organs,
who figure in Irish history. His par
snts died when he was very young,
and his youthful education was re-
ceived from the Christian Brothers at
Aries.
Young Ryan studied at the Carlow
seminary and later came to this coun-
try, going to st. Louis, where he was
appointed a professor in Carondelet
seminary. On Sept. 8, 1853, he was
ordained priest by Archbishop Ken
rick. In 1856 he was made rector of
the st. Louis cathedral and, four years
later, was placed in charge of the
Church of the Annunciation. In 1872
Father Ryan was consecrated coadjut-
or bishop of st. Louis, with the right
of succession, and, in 1884, he was ap.
pointed archbishop of Philadelphia.
Cardinal Gibbons will preside at the
funeral of the late archbishop, which
probably will be held on Thursday.

Five times-six times-seven times
the whip rose and fell and he could
see the blood starting. In horror he
turned his eyes away. Behind him a
man grinned at the whiteness of his
face and the involuntary trembling of
his lips. Again and again he heard
the lash fall upon the naked back.
From near him there came the sob.
bing moan of woman. A subdued
movement. sound as of murmuring
wordless voices swept through the
throng. A steady glitter filled the eyes
of the man who had laughed at him
and he turned again to the stake. The
mans back was dripping with blood.
Great red seams lay upon his shoul-
ders and a single lash had cut his
bowed neck. Another stroke, more
fierce than the others, and MacDougall
turned away from the figure at the
post, breathing hard. The guards un-
fastened the victims wrist-throngs
and the man staggered to his feet AS
he swayed down through the path that
opened for him his crimson back
shone in the sun.
Great God!" gasped Nathaniel.
He turned to Obadiah and was star
tied by the appearance of the old man.
The councillors face was ghastly. His
mouth twitched and his body trem-
bled. Nathaniel took his arm SYM
pathetically.
Hadn't we better. go. dad?" he
whispered.
"No-no-no-noty yet, Nat. It's-its
Neil now and I must see how the
boy-stands til"
It was but a short time before the
guards returned. This time their
prisoner walked free and erect. The
thongs dangled from his wrists and
he was pace ahead of the two men
who accompanied him. He was q
young man. Nathaniel Judged his age
at twenty-five. He was striking con-
trast to the man who had suffered
first at the post. His face instead of
betraying the formers pallor was
flushed with excitement; his head was
held high: not a sign Of fear or hesi-
tatioh shone in hfs eyes. AS he glanced
quickly around the circle of faces the
flush grew deeper in his cheeks. He
nodded and smiled at MacDougall and
in that nod and smile there was q
meaning that sent a shiver to the
whipmaster's heart. Then his eyes fell
upon Obadiah and Nathaniel He

noted, the feminine part of the Nor.

IN brafds down their backs or in thick
curls flowing over their shoulders and
with the exception of three or four
were attired in skirts that Just con-

The young woman tossed her head
and her white teeth cleaned in a
laugh, as though she had overheard
the old councillors words.

venomously as the young woman. still
boldly eyeing Nathaniel, played with
the luxuriant curls that glistened in
the sun upon her breast. ezra Will

Nathaniel turned away from the
smiling eyes with shrug.
"Why?"
To tell our women that It helps to
save their souls to wear short skirts
and let their hair hang down. For
every soul Of woman that It saves It

So intense was the old mans dis.

could hardly restrain himself from
bursting into roar Of laughter. Oba-

Word comes to the News frou Superintendent Galloway, of the Grand Gulch mine, that the shipment of high. grade copper ore from the month ot November was 279,S45 pounds. For the present month up to the 2Oth, 247.- S20 pounds were shipped. And it { expected that December, 1910. will be a record breaker for shipments. The ore is all high-grade, running 36 per cent copper. There is an immense amount of low-grade ore blocked out that is not shipped owing to the long haul to the railroad. The mine is now showing up better than ever. Sixteen hands are now employed and the ship ments are heavier than when the mine employed forty hands.

Strike In Amalsamated Nevada.

Manager A. G. Burritt, of the Amalgamated Nevada Mines company, of Blackhorse, Nevada, has succeeded in proving his theory regarding the ore deposits in the company's valuable property, and, in the cross-cut tunnel he has been driving in the develop ment of it's domain, has cut the vein at depth which is so prominently exposed on the surface.
 According to advices received from Blackhorse the tunnel has cut the ledge, which is two feet in width and all solid ore, a foot of which, sulphide in it's character, and free milling, as- says 262.SOS in gold to the ton. Drift ing on the vein is in progress, and it is gaining in size as it is followed into the mountain. The ore was encount- cred at a vertical depth of 300 feet, and it was demonstrated that the vein had dip of 30 degrees.
 The company is greatly elated over the discovery, as it means that the future of its property is fully assured, and, from now on, operation and development will be pushed with greater vigor than ever before.

Arizona's Metal Production In 1910.

1910 was a banner year for Arizona in the production of metal, and in fact, everything in agriculture and viti- culture. The territory nosed Montana out of first place in the production of copper and seventh place in the pro- duction of gold. In his report of the activities in mining Tn Arizona Victor c. Heikes, of the Geological Survey, gives an interesting resume of the activities in Mohave county, much more space being accorded this sec- tion of the territory than any other.
 Mir. Heikes says that statistics in- dicate that mining in Arizona was decidedly active in 1910. The copper output of the State, which greatly exceeded that of Montana, fell below that of 1909, but was nearly 297, 7,OOO,- 900 pounds, which shows that the large smelters were doing steady work. The copper ore mined in Arizona sup plies about one-third of the States usual gold output and two-thirds of its average silver production. There were marked changes in the gold out put of the State, which were due all most entirely to activity at the Gold Road and Tom Reed mines, in Mohave County. The final figures will prob ably show a larger production of gold than for any year since 1906, when the total was 143,000 ounces. The silver production was over 2,5O0,- 900 ounces, or more than the output of 1909. The lead output was probably less than that of the preceding year, when it was slightly over 3,0O0,0OO pounds. The output of zinc, which in 1909 was equivalent to a recovery of nearly 5000, 900 pounds of spelter, may have reached 1000, 900 pounds in 1910.
 Great progress was made in Mohave County in the production and iu mill building. From the Golconda mine rich zinc ore was being shipped at the rate of about 800 tons a month, and a concentrator was being constructed. The bullion from the 2O0-ton mill at the Gold Road mine amounted to 50,- 000S or more month. In November the mill had been enlarged to treat 300 tons. The l0-stamp mill at the Tom Reed was treating 35 tons of 4OS gold ore a day. With the addition of new tube mill the tonnage treated was increased in the last months of the year. The Banner and Tennessee mines were again brought to a ship ping basis by the United States Smelling & Refining Co.,, which has constructed a concentration plant at the Needles smelter for the separation of lead-zinc ore. New mills were com pleted or in course of construction by the Frisco NJ. & r. O., Arizona Gold Mining Co.,, and the Expansion, Gold Crown, and Dixie Queen companies. Ore was shipped from the Redemption, Home Pastime, Marietta, c. O. D., Keystone, and Grand Gulch.
