fund of more than $4,000 has been
ra.- cd by the United Mine Workers
ciately sent to the strike fields OF
West Virginia as part payment OF
the debt the anthracite miners owe
the West Virginia unionists for relief
given during the strike of 1902.
During the six months struggle OF
1902 West Virginia miners were en-
loying an era OF prosperity. They
freely gave to the relief funds OF the
anthracite men. Now that conditions
have changed. and the anthracite re-
gion Is EMS ing almost unprecedented
prosperity while the West Virginia
men are engaged in industrial strife,
II has been decided by the union men
o! District No. to pay back part OF
the old debt. Part OF the $4,000 was
raised by assessment and part by con-
tribution. The money is in the hands
oi the district officials and is to be
sent TO the strike fields at once.

tr:ct tomorrow afternoon or whether
the court will begin its labors Tues
day morning II Is the desire OF the
Judge advocate and his assistants 10
have evidence ready for as many
cases as possible before the first case
Is tried.
The iact that arrests have been
made every day Indicates that the
military authorities are probing pretty
thoroughly In the preparation OF the
cases. We have not heard a shot for
TWO days said one of the military
officials today when asked II there
had been any recent disturbances It
was stated. though. that they had
heard of large number OF threats.
Some OF them applied tO attacks To
be made on the military camp at
Paint Creek Junction and others on
the capitol building. The latter was
a threat for the arrest of Mother"
Jones. the aPitator and alleged leader
in the disturbance in the coal fields
that have made h. necessary for
troops To- be sent To the coal fields
for the third time within six months.
Efforts To ascertain the number OF
persons killed in the enraerr-nts be-
tween strikers and officers or between
the working miners and those who
have refused 90 work have thus far
proven futile. Military officers who
have been over the districts and have
made some Investigations are unable
10 give any definite idea as 10 the
number. Thev believe that the num-
ber reported TO have been killed is
not an exaggerated figure. but the
methods Of the miners IN refusing 10

al of their dead makes IL impossible

Tom indulged in a tremendous sien
of relief. For the first time hopo
mounted high in his bosom tnat' al'e.
all their relations were going 10 s'af'
upon a friendly footing.
But before he had time to ask d
question that rose to his lips, an inter.
ruption came. Turning at the SOUND OF
a footstep, he was in a measure pre-
pared to confront the supposltitlous
old servant of Number 1873. Ine
mans face, shot and crisscrossed WIN
a network of fine wrinkles, was beard
less and as lifeless as death-mask'
But not go the peircing black eyes,
here at once the younger man recoe'
nized an extraordinary personality
one that affected him powerfully, even
to forgetting his resentment at tne
intrusion.
The man handed him an envelope
with an uttered word or two OF expia-
nation: "From Mr.. Brownlow. l am
the charterer."
And then Tom all at once remem-
bered where he had previously hearo
this familiar voice. Last Monday
night. when he stood blindfolded IN
the mysterious Long Island house, ne
had met the man Calls insolent
catechism with profane retort, and
the bearer of Brownlow's note had eau
toned him that there were ladies'
present.
The contents of the sheet, which
Tom had open in jiffy, were brief and
were taken in by him at glance. His
immediate stupefaction at their pur.
port he voiced in tones of awe.
"Well-IIl-be-" he began, but
quickly checked himself and looked up
to find the piercing eyes steadily re-
garding him.
"And so,' he concluded, "you are

CHAPTER ".
An lnterlude.

An Interlude.
AS Tom thus voiced his astonish.
ment at the disclosure of the old mans
identity, there was a sudden swish Of
skirts, and the girl disappeared down
the companionway. She left with a
marked haste that might have been
significant to the skipper, had be been
in any state of mind to be impressed
by such suggestive occurrences. In
moment series of feminine exclama-
tions, indicative of surprise, came
DULY to his hearing; but his attention
was still held by the penetrating re-
gard.
Your manner, Captain Phinney," re.
marked Willard in quiet voice, "im.
plies that you are familiar with my
name?"
The statement concluded with
note of Interrogation; but Tom stood
tongue-tied. What should he say? He
could not tell this man that at the
present moment a detective was ex.
ceedingly anxious to find him-at least,
not without entering into Van Vech-
tens concern in the search. So he
moodily shook his head.
After pause
Have you any place we may retire
to for quiet talk?" Willard inquired
in the same tone.
"The chart-house," vouchsafed Tom
uneasily moving in that direction.
Once seated there followed long
silence in the course Of which Tom
grew more and more restive beneath
the keen look of the magnetic eyes.

"You are not the sort of which spies

ness and hold onto the tunnel bust
ness, which is said to be very profit
able.
At a recent meeting of the gas, oil
and electric light committee Of coun-
Gil, Attorney L. G. Richardson, rep
resenting the Bell interests, said that
under no circumstances did his COM
pany wish to buy the telephone rights
of the tunnel company, but it might
buy that company's telephone prop
erty.
In the original ordinance of the l.
T. & T. Co. there is a provision which
makes it necessary for the tunnel
company to get the city's permission
to sell out the telephone end Of its
business. Here is that provision:
ct shall be expressly the condition
of this grant that if the Illinois Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, or
any of its successors or assigns, shall
either sell out to or enter into any
agreement with any existing tele-
phone company, or any Of its sue
cessors or assigns, doing business in
the City of Chicago, which agree
ment should tend to make competi-
ton imperative, this ordinance shall
become null and void, and the plant
of said company, together with the
condUits, wires and poles then in the
streets belonging to said company
shall be forfeitedto the city"
Unless, then, the companies get the
city's consent to the sale, which con-
sent would be equivalent to a waiver
of the city's rights under the for
fixture clause, the entire plant of the
Illinois Telephone & Telegraph Co.
would be forfeit to the city if the sale
were made and the forfeiture clause
violated.
If, however, the city does consent
and valves it's rights, then the Bell
