One wiser than us has said there
is something in the fall Of the year
which is kin to the blood Of all Of
us. II is zest and a clean spirit
that are world-old and eternally
new. Spring may be the renewal Of
life; autumn is its refreshing.
Turn to the Old Testament and
read there of all the manifestations
of autumn and early winter - Of
the east wind, the breath Of the
Lord coming up from the wilder
ness, the clouds and the storm and
the rain. The comparisons of the
Bible are all with simple things,
but none are more effective, none
more beautiful, than those which
link the humility of man or the
glory of God with the powers of
nature.
In the imagery of autumn there
is something sombre. Calamity
cometh on as a whirlwind, we read,
and 81 have blotted out as a thick
cloud, thy transgressions and as
cloud thy sins" The rain Of fall is
not the early rain of spring which
covereth the valley of weeping with
blessings, but the later rain which
watereth the earth. The dancing of
brown leaves in fantastic procession
and the whirling dust before the
storm bring TO nostrils, sick with
the city's odors, a breath of that
sharp, tingling air which makes life
glorious and love lovely thing.
The city in autumn takes on new
features and drapes herself in fresh
garments. Over her embattled sky
scrapers the setting sun throws
strange colors and the pavilions of
the clouds dance in grandeur The
snap, the keenness of vitality, all
about all.

SALOON AND woRklnoMAN.

Saloon politicians are the worst enc
mics of the laboring mans rights.
They get plenty of money to buy free
beer and whisky to debauch the electo-
rate. They raise the cry of personal
liberty" and with solid saloon support,
the honest workingnan has no show
against them.
The saloon fills warehouses; and PEN
itentiaries with it's victims, and their
labor is brought into competition with
free labor, to the injury thereof.
The saloon is labor's worst enemy.
The sooner working men realize the
fact, the better it will be for them.
The corrupt politician thrives through
the saloon and corrupt politicians arc
bleeding this country to death, bring
ing it down to conditions of older and
less resourcefui countries. The abol-
ishment of the saloons will not bring
labor Immediately oil that labor ought
to have, but it will be the removing
of the greatest obstacle to labors
success.
The working people Of the United
States earned more money each year
for the distillery and brewery kings
of America than was paid to all the
kings and emperors Of Europe.
Working people are now asserting
their rights and are freeing themselves
from slavery to the inhuman liquor
traffic and the dominance of an aris-
tocracy of beer.-John f. Cunneen, La
Dor Leader, Chicago.

SYNOPSIS.

Adele Ia Chesnayne a belle of New
France. Is forced into marriage with
Commissaire Cassion. henchman of
Governor La Barre. who is plotting to
GUST La Sale and his garrison from the
frontier Fort st. Louis. on the Illinois
river Adele had overheard the plotters
say she had inherited a great fortune
from her father and they had kept 1t
from her. La Barre and Cassion learned
OF the girls neutrality-suspicious. the mar
rage and the hurried departure of Cas-
sion and a company for Fort st. Louis.
The bride refuses to share sleeping
quarters with her husband. She has
but one friend, young Rene d'Artigny,
q guide. He is chary Of helping her.
Chevet, the girls uncle, one OF the par
ty. is found murdered. A fierce storm
iecatters and wrecks the boats. Adele is
rescued by D'Artigny. They learn they
had thought one another guilty OF
Chevet's murder. Adele loves her res
cuer. They hide from a search party and

coed overland toward Fort St. Louis. They

is my thought, Barbeau. There is no
firing, and this party OF wolves are
evidently hidden in ambush. They
have found the trail, and expect some
party from the fort to pass this way"
'Or else" said the other thought
fully, 'they lie in wait for an assault
at daylight-that would be Indian
war"
True, such might be their purpose,
but in either case one thing remains
true-they anticipate no attack from
below. All their vigilance is in the
other direction. A swift attack, a sur
prise, will drive them into panic. IT'S

that was required of me. 1 did not
glance backward, yet was aware
that D'Artigny was close behind.

"Not from those we have passed,
but tbs told me there are more than a
thousand Iroquois warriors In the val
ley, and the garrison has less than
| fifty men, all told. 1t was luck we got
through so easily. Ay, Boisrondet, we
| are ready"
That was my first glimpse of the
interior Of a frontier fort, and, al
though saw only the little open space
lighted by few waving torches, the
| memory abides with distinctness. A
body Of men met us at the gate, dim,
indistinct figures, few among them
evidently soldiers from there dress,
but the majority clothed in the ordi-
nary garb Of the wilderness. Save for
| one Indian squaw, not woman was
visible, nor did I recognize a familiar
face, as the fellows, each man bear
ing rifle, surged about US in noisy
welcome, eagerly questioning those
who had gone forth to our rescue. Yet
we were scarcely within, and the
gates closed, when man pressed his
way forward through the throng, in
voice Of authority bidding them stand
aside. A blazing torch cast its red
light over him, revealing slender fig
ure attired in frontier garb, dark
face, made alive by q pair Of dense
brown eyes, which met mine in stare
of surprise.
"Back safe, Boisrondet," he ex-
claimed sharply, "and have brought in
woman. IT'S a strange sight in this
land. Were any of our lads hurt?"
"None worth reporting, monsieur.
The man they carried was a soldier Of
