Orangemen rolled up quickly into 1
compact mass, showing that they hat
planned their defense well, and the
moment was black with danger, when
suddenly, Druse strobe forward
Flinging right and left two or three
river drivers, he caught the man with
the black beard, snatched him out
from the oncoming crowd and tore OFF
the black beard and wig. Felix Mar
chand stood exposed.
A cry of fury rang out from the
Orangemen behind, and a dozen men
rushed forward, but Gabriel Druse
acted with the instant decision of a
real commander. Seeing that it would
be a mistake to arrest Marchand at
the moment, he raised the struggling
figure of the wrecker above his head
and, with herculean effort, threw him
up over the heads of the Frenchmen
in front of him.
So extraordinary was the sight that,
as if fascinated, the crowd before and
behind followed the action with star
ing eyes and tense bodies. The faces
of all the contending forces were as
concentrated for the instant as though
the sun were falling out of the sky.
1t was so great feat, one so much
in consonance with the spirit of the
frontier world, that gasps of praise
broke forth from both crowds. AS
though it were a thunderbolt, the
Manitou roughs standing where Mar
chand was like to fall, instead of try
ing to catch him, broke away from
beneath the bundle of falling human
ity, and Marchand fell on the dusty
cement of the bridge with a dull
thud, like a bag of bones.
For moment there was no motion
on the part of either procession. Ban
ners dropped and swayed as the men
holding them were lost in the excite
ment
Time had only been gained, however
There was no reason to think that
the trouble was over, or that the
special constables who had gathered
close behind Gabriel Druse would not
have to strike heavy blows for the
cause of peace.
The sudden appearance of new fl

Jowett had planned for the factor for
peace in what he most believed.
A small, spare man in a scarlet
,assock, white chasuble and black
oiretta suddenly stole out from the
,rowd on the Lebanon side of the
fridge, carrying the elements of the
mass. His face was shining white,
md in the eyes was an almost un-
earthly fire. 1t was the beloved Mon
;eigneur Lourde.
Raising the elements before him to-
ward his own people on the bridge, he
.ried in high, searching voice:
81 prayed with you, begged you to
preserve the peace Last night l ask
d you in Gods name to give up your

disorderly purposes. l thought then
had done my whole duty; but the
voice of God has spoken to me. An
hour ago l carried the elements to a
dying woman here in Lebanon, and
gave her peace. AS l did so, the fun
eral bell rang out, and it came to me,
as though the one above had spoken,
that peace would be slain and his
name insulted by all of you-by all
of you, Catholic and Protestant. Gods
voice bade me come to you from the
bed of one who has gone from peace
to peace. In the name of Christ,
peace, sayl Peace in the name of
Christi"
He raised the sacred vessel high
above his head so that his eyes look
ed through the walls of his uplifted
arms. "Kneel," he called in a clear,
ringing voice which yet quivered with
age.
There was an instant's hush, and
then great numbers of the crowd in
front of him, toughs and wreckers,
blasphemers, turbulent ones and evil
livers, yet Catholics all, with the an
cient root of the great thing in them,
sank down; and the banners of the
labor societies dropped before the
symbol of peace won by sacrifice.
Even the Orangemen barred their
heads in the presence of that popery
which was anathema to them, which
they existed to combat, and had been
taught to hate. Some, no doubt,
would rather have fought than had
peace at the price: but they could
not free their minds from the sacred
force which had brought most of the
crowd of faction fighters to their
knees.
With wave of the hand, Gabriel
Druse ordered the cortege forward,
and silently the procession with its
yellow banners and its sable, dropping
plumes moved on.

NEEDED AMUSEMENT.

It is stated in one of the consular

ten years ago, the Oryekhovo mill

Of wholesome and proper amusement,
and by supplying amusements, espe-
clally by encouraging sports, they
have made the employees much more
loyal and law abiding. The old
strike spirit seems to have disap-
peared. These mills are now noted
for their athletic teams, and have
caused athletic organizations to be
formed all over Russia. About sixty
football teams, for instance. have
been formed throughout Russia, the
one at Oryekhovo, the first to be or
ganized, being the model, with Eng
lish association football rules in
force.

PROVE HARD TO oBLITERATE

To Europeans who hope that phys

nearly seventy miles of earthwork

The first we're thrown up in 1863,
when the military authorities fore
saw that they might some day be
needed. The second line was occu-
pied by Beauregard in June, 1864,
when Grants repeated and fruitless
assaults cost him ten thousand men.
The third Grant himself made.
Its inclosed batteries and heavy
forts were connected by breastworks
four and FIVE lines deep, by trenches
and by covered ways. The fourth
line was placed to guard his rear.

EASY TO TELL AUTHORS SEX
Material Difference, It Seems, in tho
Way in Which Men and Women
Write Stories.

Why is it that you can always tell
a story written by man from one
written by woman? saw the thing
put to rather severe test within the
last month, says writer in the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
Ten men and women, all of whom
do considerable novel reading, had
had dinner together. One of the men
asked the question | put at the top
Of these paragraphs. He was in his
own home, and went to some trouble
to prove that the sex of authors is
an easy thing to determine.
Giving to each of the nine others
pencil and piece of paper, the host
proceeded to read extracts from 20
different books and magazines-se-
lecting parts in which proper names
would not identify the story. As he
read each person wrote down his
guess as to whether the author was
a man or woman.
Of the 1870 answers made by the
nine persons to the twenty tests all
but eight we're correct. As he kept
the books from which he read con-
cealed, it was impossible to get aid
with the eye.
But, although everybody guessed
right almost every time, no one could
still give a good definition Of the
conundrum: Why does a woman
write differently from a man?

.LUMBERMEN ASK Gov
EMINENT COOPERATION

cooperative methods to conserve
the nations future supply, as pre-
sented in brief by L. c. Boyle of
Kansas City, counsel for the Nation

ton, makes a special analysis of the
conditions in the South, in referring
to the field of operation of the
Northern Hemlock and Hardwood
Manufacturers Association, which
operates chiefly in the forests of
those states.
MIR. Boyle then declared that the
lumber industry has no hostility TO-
ward the Sherman antitrust law,
but does believe that its interpreter
ton should be such that such great
industries as the lumber business
may be permitted to progress with
the cooperation of the units in the
industry, as long as such co-opera'
ton does not constitute restraint of
trade. Cooperation under govern.
ment regulation to prevent abuses
of destructive competition is asked,
and he then analysed the situation
in the country, to show the end of
active cooperation, for the protec-
ton of the nations forests against
destruction BY unregulated compe-
titiOn.
In reference to southern pine con-
ditions the brief says:
Living prices under present con-
ditions cannot longer persist, and
this in spite of the most efficient
Organization ever enjoyed by yellow
pine interests.
Figures show that during the
months of December, January and
February, the stocks of Lumber Of
the Southern Pine Association mills
increased 190,099,946 feet. and a
report shows that the stocks of lum.
Der for the month of March increas-
ed 58,4l2,464 feet, making the total
increase in stocks during these four
months 248,512,4l0 feet This in
crease in stocks has absorbed all the
reduction in stocks of lumber that
occurred last year.
The result of this accumulation
of stocks is causing a softening or
weakening of the yellow pine mar
ket.
The lum Der business is not reas.
onably profitable on the basis Of
prices which have existed since the
first of December, 1915, and we are
again confronted with the PROPOSE
ton of accumulated stocks, q pro-
duction in excess of consumption,
which will probably result in lower.
