DR.. B. Harry Warren for years
state taxidermist and the dean Of all
bird lovers in this part of the state, is
having erected upon his lawn an imi-
tation tree made Of concrete and wire
resigned as a refuge for his bird
friends, reports a West Chester or
respondent Of the New York World.
The tree" is about fifteen feet In
height and the concrete exterior imi-
tates the bark of an oak. Here and
there are openings. some designed for
fiickers or other large birds, some for
martins. and small. coy places for
wrens. 1t Is a most enticing place for
birds. The concrete tree" will be
placed on the lawn at the bungalow vt
DR.. Warren and at the base will be a
large concrete basin designed as a
BATH for all bird callers.
Already twenty-five martins have es-
tablished homes In a box erected for
their use and many other species are
nesting about the grounds.

Dice of Destiny
BY JACKSON REGoRY
BY JACKSON

Celestino, the vaquero who had spent
the night at Pedro's side, was not to
be seen.
Stairway, rushing up the stairs, his
revolver In his hand, bestowed only
one look upon the unconscious Pedro
and rushed at the door Of Teresa's
room.
The door was locked. He called
There was no answer. Everything
was perfectly still. He knocked al
the door loudly, calling again. And
now, when silence answered him, a
great fury swept through him, his
brain seemed to be on fire, his voice
seemed to him to come from a great
distance as he shouted for an ak.
The ak came, but he had not waited
for 1t. A heavy chair had splintered
against the oak panels, but the panels
themselves were no obstacle to the
fury of his attack. They burst at
last, his hand found the key In the
lock upon the other side Of the door,
the door was flung open

Stairway scarcely heard the man.
He was looking for a ladder, seeking
TO see how Teresa had been carried
from the house.
There was nothing.
He thought that there had been
many men here; that a man below
had caught the girl in his arms as
she was dropped down to him; he
shuddered at the thought, and once

stairs, which he took almost at a
bound, through the dim corridors, and
toward the drawing room.

"She Is gone" he answered crisply.
Listen, ~companeros. This is the
work Of Tore yonder. You know that.
But you must not harm him-yet!
There is time. See that he does not
escape. If he does not bring the Sc
norita back to us safe, unframed
then we shall know what to do, shall
we not. companeros?"
They answered him by silence and
the quick turning Of black, fierce eyes
upon the man who had this second
thing to answer to them for. Tore
summoned his old bravado and the
smile which went with It.
Tore did not speak. but. turning
away, made a cigarette, Captain Ju-
arez, seemingly just awakened, threw
his blanket aside and sat up on his
couch. his eyes rowing from face TO
face, coming to rest at last upon Tor
res as though he were awaiting a
leaders move. His Eyes were as
grave as Torres, his sense Of a crisis
as clear.

"Bueno. Now first / want you to

"Now"-his air, his smile, his very
carriage eloquent of a laughing Inn
pudence, he stepped close to the
suffered wjndow-"now something
is going to happen"
Suddenly his hand shot out and a
pane fell from the window, broken
into many pieces, tinkling upon the
carpet. Tore put his face to the
opening he had so rudely made and
called out sharply, aloud:
"Ahora, companerosl Strike !"
A revolver flashed into sight In
Stanway's hand; a revolver was In
the hand Of each vaquero In the
room. The air was charged with ex-
pectancy.

"Jerk him back from the window !"
While he was speaking he had
struck one of the candlesticks from
the table; Gaucho had understood
and had put out the other lights. The
DON sank into swift, impenetrable
darkness.
Three of the cowboys had thrown
themselves upon Tore, dragging him
back, holding his arms pinioned at
his sides. Stairway, with no minute
lost, threw open the shutters, raised
the window and peered out into the
| night.
1t was very still. He could see
little enough, but his stralning eyes
ran back and forth along the wall of
the house and were certain that there
were 40 lurking forms there. His
ears told him of the heavy breathing
Of the men behind him, but brought
him nc sound Of men without.
Remember, ~senor." called Tore,
his painting voice telling of the trent
ment he was being accorded by men
who hungered to take justice into
their own hands. Remember about
the key"
Stairway closed the window and the
shutters, calling to Gaucho for a
light. The flicker Of the match
showed him Tore in the grip of the
| three men. his face looking a little
pale. his eyes very bright.
IF we are attacked" cried the
rancher sharply. "it Is Tore Who has
given the signal. Remember he is
not to go Free"
Fierce fires leaped up in the saw
age eyes Of the vaqueros, and the
big, brown, muscular hands corded
ominously.
A clock somewhere In the house
struck-one. two, three. Stairway
counted, every sense on the alert. his
mind expecting, his heart dreading
he knew not what.
And then came the thing he had not
looked for.
1t was q scream-a woman's
scream. rising sharp through the
sudden silence. telling of sudden, rude
awakening, Of blind, gripping terror.

at mass meetings of Butte citizens.
Montana always has been called a

the statement that wages CORE

II testimony is correct, and the prof.
iteer is being harassed throughout

city.
The miners strike beyond doubt

cost of living. Whatever the mo-

other similar reasons. The whole
saler has his own tale of woe and
nobody will assume the blame or
confess the slightest wrong doing.
1t has been a matter of common
comment in Montana, during many
years, that merely raising wages
would not solve the perennial Butte
problem" Every raise in scale for
the miners has promptly been fol-
lowed by other trades. In addition,
mining boarding houses, where a
large percentage of the miners live,
invariably have raised prices. They
in turn assert food and fuel dealers,
etc., have raised the prices of neces-
stiles. and the dealers blame it on
the wholesaler.
For a decade or more, the Ana
conda' Copper Mining company,
whose employees in Butte outnum-
ber all other workers combined,
conducted large general store.
Enemies of the corporation attacked
the, institution as undemocratic,
They said employees were forced to
deal with the company. 1t is a mat
ter of record that never during the
era of the company store, was there
strike of miners or thought of one;
and that when the company with
drew and left the commercial field
open to the public, unrest soon fol-
lowed. Proponents of the company
store system maintain that the EN-
ployer, through it, kept the profit
eer off the neck of the employe
