CHAPTER XIII.
A Battle and a Siene.

It was Daddy Hiram who made the
| first break.

| question at the lOafer on our doorstep
in sort of deadly rage that you
wouldn't have thought possible in so

You needn't worry about her." was
the cool response. Didn't you get the
note she left for you, saying that you
needn't?" Then as If he had just seen
and recognized me: Hello, Brough-
ton; we've missed day, but I'll give
you the benefit of it and not dock you.

you more or less trouble if you are"

wanted; or any relating to the mine
UnbuckIing Jeanie's gun and handing
it to Daddy Hiram, 1 walked across to
where he was sitting, keeping a wary
eye on the hand which would have to
be the one to go after the weapon he
had once showed me hanging under his
left arm-pit.
Mr.. Twombly has just asked you
where his daughter is, and you haven't
told him. l gritted. you've got about
ten seconds in which to tell him all
you know, and after you've done it,

He had scrambled to his feet when
he saw me coming, and, just as l ex-
pected, that watched right hand f1icked
suddenly under his coat. At that I
rushed him and we mixed it promptly.
I got hold of the gun hand before it
got to the pistol butt, and at the cIinch

The First Strikes

Certain popular movements in the
Middle ages bear resemblance to
strikes such as the disturbances in
England in the second half of the
Fourteenth century. More like the
modern strikes were the contests be-
tween different guild organizations, be
tween journeymen and guildsmen, in
both English and continental towns.
History tells of the riots among wooden
workers in Florence during the time OF
the Medici. But as a social problem,
as a part of the industrial system,
strikes belong TO the Nineteenth and
Twentieth centuries.

Then TO the dog: Come here, old

The collie came to lick my hand, and
while l was petting him 1 found a
pretty bad cash just behind one of his
ears.
"See here. Daddy" 1 broke out;
"the dogs hurt -
We examined the wound and decided
at once that it was not a bite. 1t was
bruised cut. looking as if it had been
made by some blunt instrument or
weapon. I had a hot-fash vision of
Fullerton kicking the dog with his
iron-shod heel in an attempt to drive
him back home, and it was so real that
