There was a gathering again of the mob in tlio morning, and when" it was learned that the' Venezuelan consul had proceeded to the- German consulate, this " building was surrounded by tho over' increasing mob. Thc attornoy general mado a determined effort to quiet'the populace, which was becoming moro and moro excited all tho whilo.„ A small military forco attempted to chock tho demonstration, but for a whilo that was found impossible. It became necessary eventually to call out additional troops; and these at once proceeded to patrol tho stroets and.stop-tho rioting..

London, July 29-The : London morning newspapers -continue. to discuss the'" Olympic,, games from the viewpoint- of- international - 'friction developed,' with a, disposition more freely to recognise that there is much tp be said on both sides. , *'" - The Daily Mail says: After all, ttuy number of unpleasant incidents is surprisingly'"- small and the • initial feeling may be removed by ' second thoughts' and. fuller information. Perhaps,with Olympic games as with peace conferences, they may' not re-' alise the-highest hope of their projectors, yet.they 'help the world forward." . * '. " On'calm reflection, leaving opinion takes tbe proper view that from tho moment Dr: Muir, iri attendance bn Dorando, ordered him' to be lifted from the track he was out of tho race. Dr.. Muir himself says: "Dorando had'completely'spent his energy when lie fell,,and if he had riot been lifted up he must have lain on the tracks long after' Hays and the others arrived."" ' Some comment having been caused by the signing of a contract :by Dor-1 ando to appear at music halls, v the Italian explained yesterday that he had signed the contract under stress of his first emotion, and cannot withdraw from;it, but', he added, he will only appear,,for a single week; and will devote the whole proceeds tb charity, i ,.

'■'Quebec, July 29-The prince of Wales this morning visited the Roman Catholic, seminary at the-quaint village of St.,v Joachim and "strolled quietly through the vast halls and spacious grounds chatting informally with the fathers.-,, There was „ no speech making^ but a cold, luncheon was served beneath the -'trees. .His royal highness partook of.the lowly fare, common to the reflectory. ' The seminary farms were then visited, the price's escort being father Mathcw, who presented him to pll the old relators of-the seminary- in turn'. ,The , prince expressed himself as being delighted with the work of the institution and grateful for the warm and informal hospitality shown him., The return journey was mado in automobiles, and at each of tho parishes through which the party passe'd a halt was made at the Milage church were the clergy vere pie- sented to his royal highness. At Ste Anne de Beaupre a linger stay, was made to enable the ]'ince to inspect all points of interest at that remarkable shrine. No inkling of' this program was a:li.vo.l to reach the ears of any but1 the clergy concerned, so that the passage of the prince' attracted hardly any attention.

I have bad so many letters on thiB subject I. think.it is perhaps time "I •gave tham a turn. ' " The correspondent whose .letter I nave quoted implies' that socialism is not'worth the trouble because In a very short time the pressure of population-bn the means of subsistence, would.. , cause a return of the very .evils socialism is intended to abolish. ''.,". ' „ -. In doing so he omits two very important - factors in the problem : "man's inventive faculty, and man's intellectual and moral ideas. . Assuming an increase of population under Socialism, is there any reason to. believe that we should, not be ■able to- increase.production to , the ■-same extent?," ., Already, today one man is able to produce the year's bread for a family, by less than one month's labor, ■ Productive power ' has increased much- faster than the population. - If-the productive power, of the- na- .tiou were all, utilised, we should ibe able' to increase" the supply of -food to an enormous' extent. -Prince Kro- - potkin and other r/mers have shown .that, these islands would produce suf- - ficieut food for eighty- riiillions^todayT -And0 the possibility of • increasing 'the productivity of-the soil are'_ by no means exhausted.\ Only recently Professor Bottomley made a discov- ■^eiy7*wh1^'a7Svrtii--ad"d—'thirty—bo^vfifty" per cent.' to the.yield of certain •crops arid-bring into ..cultivation an. enormous* area of waste" land, Nearly, all the brains for.the last hundred years have been devoted'to the "creation .and improvement of •manufacturing appliances. Had agri- ■ .cultural methods»received the same attention, we should not no\v have to bewail the decay of our prime industry. • Well, that is tho first, point. There , is not the slightest necessity why anyone should not have abundant '.food. No ono denies that. It .is merely a question of organisation and distribution. But, given the organisation, there is still, wc are told, tho possibility, of such an increase in population that It would eventually outrun thc productive capacity of tho people. The struggle for existence is in ceaseless oporation. If you abolish thnt struggle, man will increase in numbers, and at .the aamd timo do- n tcrlornto, physically, mentally, and .morally. So that his productive capacity would gradually decrease, Just at the timo whon conditions -■called for an increaso. Tho result would bo n terrific, struggle'for existence, nnd our last state would bo worse than tho pronent, I havo before pointed out that tho champions of tho eternal Htruggle for oxlstonce always phut their eyes to certain portinent fricts, Thoy claim thnt all progress to tho struggle for existence ignoring tho history ' of tho human raco, which In every lino announces thnt, progress linn boon caused by tho limitation of tho struggle for existence. Kvory man dona not strive with every other "mnn for the mentis of subsistence. It would be truer to say that no mnn in our present no- cicty could exist in a constant condition of struggle with IiIh follows, To live today we must co-operato, work tnjjollipr, consciously or unnon.

John Smith gets out not having the slightest idea how to occupy his time, fills it by spending his money.

They have forgotten Cleveland, and as Bryan runs and never wiris they live on the hope that he might do something when he comes,to power. ' But if these Bryanites were wise men they would look into the record of the; Democratic party where ' it has been 'in power." They would, examine the labor record at Tammany Hall of Jim Gufley, of Tom Haggart and of Roger, Sullivan. , If after they had examined that record they chose to vote tbe Democratic ticket it would be time for their unions to call in an alienist. But perhaps they would consider these-particular machines as democracy at its worst., ■ Well,. then, let us take the south.' There Democracy has ruled for nearly a century. The record of the Democrats there is long and clear and terrible. * • ' ' - To keep its workers in slavery it came very near destroying this republic. • ■ • t.

' ■ But,this is an old story'. Go into the south today and look at their rule. You -, will find peonage, convict- labor, thousands of men and boys working with chain and-ball Under the eye and musket of a prison guard;' - Go into the' factories. Where will you find wages' so low? .Where, hours so long? Where children, so tiny? . Go into' the homes. And-where will' will you find misery so hopeless? Yet here the democrats rule. ' Had they wished it there might have been factory legislation ' in the ' south'. There might-have been living wages. There .might have, been, anl'eight hour the than day arid sanitary homes. - They have ruled absolutely, and alone. No rival party has had - a chance to interfere with their rule. Thoy have denied-votes to "Niggers," and there nre not enough Republicans in the south to .make their opposition of any importance. Yet after the rule of nearly a hundred years the Democratic party in the., south has produced conditions rivalling the worst in the world. ' . I have been in Russia and I havo been, in the south, and in my opinion'the condition of labor in^ southern Ptates is no better that of tin x-tussian peasant. Yet for a party with this kind of labor record fifty-ono .trado union leaders have decided to voto. Tho' workingmen of tho north in-, tend to mako common'cause with these aristocrats of tho South. Tho rule,of Tammany Hall and tho other, criminal Democratic organisations of the north is not onough for theso labor leaders. Thoy apparently want to go to tho very depths.' Well, labor is strong enough to'got what it wants; and if that is what labor wants—well, that , is -what labor wants. THE SOOIALIST PLATFORM been some man no .

Sherman addressed tlio meeting. In his opening ' remarks he, complemented the Bank- ' head local in tlie ,way which they conducted their business'matters. He 1. also stated that the district officers had had less trouble with Bankhead * local than any other local In the district. Mr. Sherman gave a condens- . ed'report of his work during the last twelve^months, after, which he spoke on legislation and its effects on the working class. One striking remark , of Mr. Sherman was, he 'chirms that ' ' it -would take the people of the west ■five years to^consnme what theyjpro- duce in one. If this statement is ..'true it i8.easy«to<see the cause of.all .'. the hard times wo.have, been and are ' '.passing •* through. 'Mr.- Sherman's closing remarks were along the lines ., of Sdcialism.

Mr, David Patton occupied tho chair and nft.er a few choice remarks culled on organiser Kvans to address tho smell compnny present, Drawing the nttrntion of his audience to the pending Dominion election, he called upon the workers to unite and to make the nation throb with the fact that" ^cialism was a living, power which -aimed at production -.being for the "use of the human family and not for; personal gain. He also pleaded for -a greater spirit of harmony and brotherhood among the toilers, after which Mr. Minton; .Fernie, delighted the audience with a remarkable speech, full of choice and apt,illustration- of the'^ imperfect' and-unjust conditions of the present day system, proving'that he who gets the least of this world's goods are they who provide the ease .and wealth for others, quoting the old story of the priest who says "he prays for all, tbe soldier who fights for all and the toiler who works for all.". Then drifting into the increasing produce of'modern machinery; he asked- who •was reaping the benefit of this increased production, asserting that' the workers were in no" better position today than they were in olden times with hand labor. All they got then, as now, was a bare existence. '• He strongly advocated the necessity" of every worker being a member of a trades union for ,the protection of,.hia present day rights, but even this was not sufficient. ,We must organise for political purposes and seek by constitutional ■ methods -"t'oV dp away with a system that was favorable ', to the few and-- unjust to the many, concluding with the fact that a*crisis would surely come and-that- the workers must awake to'.a';"sense of their duty and vote square -v-arid' plump for their own well being. . - ' ■ Many , question's were - asked by Messrsi-'.Eilbeck, Limb 'and' Bambor- pugh, mostly-on the. moral and re- religious aspect. of,^Socialism .* to which,Mr. Minton replied!very"favbr-- 'ably..-,'; '.' . '.,'', V" . '' - ; The ' next meeting of the above party is ,,on Friday night, August 14th, at which the Rev. Isaac Steen-' son will speak. There seems-to be a great deal, of 'misunderstanding, between^ certain parties of the Socialists who think Christianity should have' no place in Socialism, and ^certain christians, whose vision is not large enough to see that Christ's „ mission was to' make this liie. worth' living in ' and an abode of peace and plenty. May the time soon come when we- shall unite our. forces, not "for sectarianism, but, for "righteousness and-, the uplifting of humanity. Such can only be by the crucifixion, of" narrow mindedness and prejudice. ° ■"■ •-Mr." Minton- on Sunday night as- "leTtea~*T\Frt"lr^~;threr-ioi"d*ctnphasi"sr that after two thousand-years of Christianity, the world was'' worse! but bis* assertion was .so emphatically contradicted and there it was left without definite'proof on either side. This' is a . sidelight of ■ Socialism that 'demands attention, scrutiny, and debate. ' An excellent program consisting of solos, trios and *, choruses was rendered in the Presbyterian church on Tuesday night before a large and appreciative audience. Miss Gray, the young cornet soloist also pleased everybody,by her choice rendering of' favorite, airs. The soloist were Mr. R.

He was elected for'the Stirling' Burghs only a' few weeks ago. ' He has given only one conspicuous vote. He went into the lobby against the proposed visit of the king to Reval. It is inconceivable that the ■ king should have considered that a vote on'an open question of foreign politics—on which the opinion of the house of" commons was invited—implied any disloyalty to the throne^' But yet, with a self contradiction' almost equal to the Chronicle's, it remarks: , ,-, . The action suggests that a new element, and ono of .-.which account will have to be taken, is being introduced' into the relations of par- , liament and the crown. summing ' .British .Socialism has hitherto -dj.s-- tihguished itself from its' continental . connections by an all but unanimous .adherence to the "monarchic' •principle. A head of the people being essential as a national, .representative, at public functions and as an entertainer of foreign guests, we have argued that a professional specially bred and trained for the work was in mauy ways preferable' to an amateur, and considering the intrigues and. chicaneries of Presidential elections iu - France and America, we have concluded that heredit- ' ary. kingship though absurd.in theory .•was attended in practice under British", conditions with advantages. But, this view was always conditional on the. British king's genial acceptance of the figurehead conception, of his position and duties. We never for a moment surrendered the vital principle that any and every kind of executive function and power must rest upon the basis of democratic election. We were content to waive the divine right' of the people .only on-'the condition that the king 1 gave up all • divine right to the throne. * Until now this implicit, mutual, un- •standing has seemed to be cheerfully realised'and Joyally obeyed by King Edward with ,the result that'"the -monarchy has won a popularity more genuine, and widespread • than in any -other country. "We had all ;become ■genuinely attached to the king. We were prepossessed,by his hearty bonhomie. We believed him to be not only kindly and good naturcd, but •also shrewd and tactful. We chuckled in comparing him gleefully with his bombastic, meddling, cant'anker- . ous' nephew of Germany. Our king, we boasted was an English King, a royal democrat, a prince of good fellows, a loyal and able first servant lL*(l 5ate* And -we did not be-i phatically of Keir Hardie "and" Victor grudge the affectionate homage, of.'Grayson.

That visit was a' legitimate, topic .for public discussion, and there was room for honest difference of opinion as to its wisdom ' in existing circumstances. Some hon. members who depricat-' ed it did 'so because", of the high honor and respect" in which ' they hold the king. That they should be penalised , for thus doing their j duty, as they conceived it, is j wholly repugnant to the doctrine ' of the freedom of parliament. The ' 'Royal uarden party 'for 1908 will be remembered for a piece of tactlessness for which",there is no precedent in the reign of King Edward. ■ .- , 0 "' What the Liberal" Papers say of Mr. Ponsonby we say no less em- Rochester, New York, July 28—Edward . S. Bartlett" president of the Trebert Gas, Engine company, of this 'city, accompanied by Miss Geraldine Tumilty, daughter of a wealthy Ply-" mouth avenue family, and driving a new automobile, mistook an alley for a main thoroughfare and drove (at full speed into the Erie canal. . The body of Miss Tumilty was recovered at 10.30 o'clock today; the body of Bartlett was found nn hour later. Tho wheel tracks on the bank of the towpath indicated that just as the water waa reached, tho driver saw his mistake and tried to turn aside. The impetus or tho Heavy machine was too great, however, and the automobile plunged into tne canal. The machine was first seen about five o'clock this morning with the top cover sticking up above the' surface of the wnter of the canal. A boatman also found a "Merry widow" had floating in the water. The police, raised the sunken automobile with a1 derrick, obtained the number and a letterin the pocket of a raincoat on'the seat. The letter was addressed to R. S. Bartlett, and led to the identification of the parties! A man by the name of Dick West gave the police considerable information.- He met Bartlett, lie says,' on Monroe avenue after midnight.' He said Bartlett ottered to take him*to his home on Broadway. Oh entering the automobile '' he. saw a young woman, who he said was'Miss Geraldine ..Tumilty, whose-parents live on Plymouth avenue. On being left at his door he stopped aud watched Bartlett turn-the corner. .The-police and * coroner believe that Bartlett mistook ' a short thoroughfare . for Clifford street, and on making the corner had the machine wide open. Bartlett.. was ' known ' to be a fast driver and had been arrested once for violating,the speed ordinance. ." ' Wm. J. Keefe, No '51 Donning'St., at 1.50, o'clock this morning' had heard the "chugging" sound of a gasoline motor apparently from the direction of Denning street, a mo-" ment later there was a; loud'splash.

HEAVY SENTENCE FESTIVAL OF THE DEAD. LABOR WORLD NOTES - Employees .in the postal-service of Great Britain are getting an, all j round increase oi wages amounting | to five million dollars,a year. At Cedar, Rapids, Iowa, the contract .obtained on the new government building provides for union labor in tlie construction of the building. The .largest of tho international unions, with the- exception of .the United Mine Workers is tho United Brotherhood of Carpenters nnd Joiners, which will hold its annual convention in Salt Lake .City iii September. . •■ ■ . Tho .International Brotherhood of Teamsters will have its annual convention in Detroit in August, when it is expected an agreement will be reached for' a settlement of the difference between that organisation and the United Teamsters "of' America. The Montana State, Federation of Labor is initiating a .petition for submission at the next general election for the Employers' Liability act and-an act exempting labor unions from injunctions. The Bakers', union of Snn Francisco has appointed-a committee to.prepare a recommendation to the international convention that is to meet in October to erect a "home for aged and disabled members of the organisation. In Austria, when an", unemployed wage earner cannot obtain work, he registers nt a government labor bureau and lie is supplied with food for himself and family by the government .until employment is found for him. " • The . national joint, arbitration board of the Granite Cutters'' Employers' Association and the Granite Gutters' union has adjusted all the points- ih dispute at Quincy, Mass., and there can be no strike Or lockouts for the next three years." ===l.T-TY,4l4\»^^==.n„ J-1^4\T,i+.T1 PTC 44V4U4.

Every man'or woman ■■who wishes to honor a dead friend sets' 'up a lamp on a stand in front of the place which the dead one used, to occupy in the clubhouse. These lamps.1 filled with seal oil. are kept "burning day and night until the festival is over. They are'believed to light-the shades on their return to their old home and back again to the land of the dead. If any,one fails tb put up a lamp in'the clubhouse nnd to keep It burning, the shade whom he or. she desires to honor could not find its way to the place and so would miss tho. fc-nst. When n person has been, much disliked his ghost is sometimes purposely ignored, and that is deemed the severest punishment that could be inflicted upon lilm. After tho songs of" Invltution id the dead have been sung the givers of the feust take n small portion of food from ovory dish and cast It down ns un offering to the shades. Then ouch pours a little, wnter ou tho floor so that it runs through the cracks. In this way thoy believed the spiritual essence of nil the food and ,water is convoyed to the souls, , With songs and dances the feast comes to nn 'end and the ghosts are dismissed to ■their oven'.place. The daucers dance,' not only In tho clubhouse. 1,-ut also nt the graves and on the ice if the dead met their deaths by drowning. On the eve of tho festival the nearest male reintive goes to* the grave and summons tlie ghost by planting' there d small model of n seal spear or of a wooden dish, 'according as the dead was a mnn or a woman. The totems of. 'the dead are marked oii these' Implements. .The dead who have none to make .offerings to them are believed to suffer great destitution; hence the Eskimos fear to die without leaving behind them some ono who will sacrifice to tlieir spirit, and. childless people generally, adopt children lest, their shades' be forgotten at the festivals.

N. Williamson Author of, "The Princess Passes," "The Berlin; July. 28v-Despatches' received here today from Monastir state that the women of all Macedonia are parading the'streets unveiled, rejoicing in the granting of the new constitution, by the sultan. * Tub parades are the result of. an order issued by a Moslemt priest cancelling -the command 'of the Koran that, all women must wear veils in public, and. for the first time'in centuries, the women of turkey have exposed their faces to the public eye. The Koran commands absolutely that no woman of faith can: appear outside her house without a veil covering her entire face with the exception of slit for the eyes. The fact that the Moslems have taken' it upoi' themselves to cancel the sacred commands of the Koran indicates that the advocates of the "young Turkey" idea has thoroughly entrenched themselves before beginning operations. With the .religious element on its side,, the revolution in Macedonia assumes a more serious aspect nnd it is thought it will be hard for the sultan to overcome the 'disaffection without completely yielding to the demands of his European subjects. , According''to the best information obtainable here, the whole' of' Macedonia, * instead of being quieted by the iradeof yesterday, calling , for the re-establishment of 'the' parlia- ment.of, 1876, is riotous because - of the realisation of the leaders of- the "Young. Turkey" movement >■-that they have frightened Constantinople. A statement, given out here today .by the leaders of the movement' announces ' that 'the victorious rebels will not.-lay down'their arms until they are assured that, the'call"for the parliament.means that the representation will be-fair, that the press will lie free arid that, thc great army I of exiles of ..their partyc is granted: amnesty. :—:0 !

Under each wns a cushioned sent; and tho alcove of the eastern window had doovs on ench side, in Uio black oak wainscot. These- doors concealed spacious wardrobes, but the west alcove had doors of, glass on either side, opening into large recesses. The one on tho loft wns n bathroom, while in tho ono on thc right stood n bed, apparently carved out oi.one piece, with the oak wall behind it. This bed was, of courso, invisible from the oiitei room, as the wainscoted wall ud it from the alcove, therefore hlspoth was practically in possonHioii of n separate sitting-room.

There were two or throo wonderful old chairs, a chnrmins table with claw foot, an ancient, "secretin'}' book-cin-ci bureau, with glnHs door*, behind which the covers of old-t'iifihioned bookn »liowed, and a tail wcreen ol beautiful, though fii(lud.,einl«w*v*il leather, which hid n too modem dremuiig-tii bio "from view, The girl thoroughly enjoyed the tasli of uiipiu'l-iiig'imd -Hitting'away her few mndi-ut hnlnnplngn ill the great wiill-oiiphimnW ono of which hIiu discovered was lined with cedar; am) buloie hhc Iuul finished all she had tu do In nettling in, dinner nr- rlved-quito a littlo fom-t, it scorned to hor, on a large diiniiislM.prtmd tray, with .diver covens for the dixlum, * Thorn was a rMc silk-bhadod lamp on tho table. x<*\uc.\\ tho servant who brought in the tray obliglni/ly lit; hut ated room, where no sounds- of hu iinn life rave liei own could c:!:ie.

Lying there -between tile coOi liiu.ii sheets, the girl felt very wideawa.-.e, though after'the long, exciting day she had passed, sluep oug.it to have come" quickly. She had leU the g'.-s-- doors pushed wide open, and tin. alcove which she faced a» ssuo lay wiii- white with the light or ii late-rising moon. "I'm glad I don't - believe in ghosts!" she said tc herself. "On such a night*-! Tlie sentence broke off short in lilspeth's thoughts, and her heart gave a leiip. Just behind her head there was a new .sound, which neither mice not rats could have made, a queer, metallic sound, like the clinking of a chain oi ii. jingling of keys one against- another. Once and again' it came;,-then,-..the top of a high heel on a stone stair. The girl's blood knocked .at her temples. She: sat up in bed and, .listened .through'the thick'beating in ■her ears. The sound, was fainter now, as'if farther away.- With hands that sliook a little she found -the candle and matches on a smnll table by the bedside, and struck' a light which glowed small and yellow in the white moonhaze.' '' . . All was still now, as she waited,, and the impression she had had "of something strange and horrifying be-, gan to fade. She must have imagined the jingling, andjhe-tap, tap of, lit-' tie heels. It win-.'well known that mice could make alJ kinds of extra-, ordinary noises, scuttling about in the walls of the tower,' a glorious playground for the mouse tribe. How stupid she was to have a fright, she who hnd"boasted of her courage, and said that she "hoped tlie tower was haunted!" Now, she would blow-out the candle and force herself to sleep, or she would not be at her best to begin work to-morrow morning. Down she flung ?herself among the big pillows again, but- scarcely had she begun conscientiously to count sheep jumping over a gate, when a soft, heavy weight' brushed against the wall which'was. one with the head of the bed. ,*W faint cry ■ followed, side which hao'Uin hexf the floor, some one had sketched the face of -j young boy. The penciled "lines had faded, the paper was tlie color ,of old ivory, and the collar and tie suggested by a few light strokes were ' of quaint fashion. But the face was strikingly handsome, and so individual as to convince Elspeth that as a likeness the little sketch must hav.e been a success.' In one corner there were initials, and a date, but they had ,been blurred either deliberately or by* accident, and Elspeth held the paper close to the light without being'able to "decipher them. Suddenly as she studied the faint lettering, something seemed to fall from above, past her eyes—something swift and small, from which tlie liglit struck a gleam as ii from' a ruby, and at the same instnht the ruby wiis shattered, in a red splash upon the sketch.' With a cry Elspeth sprang to' her fret, still mechanically, holding tlie bit of paper. Tlie .pictured face of the boy was stained red; there was a red . liquid smear ou net thumb and fin- j ger, and as she stared, horrified,' dumfounded, ai'iui there was a swift, ruby, ii-isli bsfore her eyes. CHATTER III. j ■ <,- ; Instantly tlie words oi the house \ keeper leaped into the girl's mind. | The bell! The bell by which she could ""summon the night porter-—where war- it?' Ah, she remembered, and almost as quickly* as the thought had flashed into lier mind her finger'was hov ering over the electric button. A second • more',' nud the'summon!- would have gone flashing over the wire; but something seemed to restrain Elspeth's, hand, as if it hud been seized and forcibly held back. "No!" she said, half aloud. "I won't do it." And with-great force of self- control, she turned her back on the bell, which meant help, and human companionship, if she chose to have 'it. ■ - < '.'Very likely they hnve had thtf same kind of, trouble, here before with their secretaries," ■ the girl, thought. "Mi. McGowan told me ihe one from' tlie neighborhood whom, they had had before couldn't mnnnje the work, but I'm sure he looked -. odd, when he said it, and perhaps there was more behind. Probably- they're , expecting me' to make a fuss of.-,some .sort though T don't come from the neigh-, borhood.-and am'not supposed to .have heard the storv of'this Tower, whatever it is.

I'm going to stop on,here, and in this room, if I have to'"stay awake all* night,-and work nil day! every day, till whoever it is nets tired." This forceful determination poured courage into .Elspeth's chilled veins, as if'she had been drinking strong wine. Instead of completing the hnvo..'already made -in her spirit by terror, as for a few seeonds it had threatened to do.- the fall of ruddy drops-'from the ceiling had undone the work of the strange sounds behind the walls.

She lay still as if frozen, her eyes staring wide, her ears strained to catch a ■ tioubled murmur, of voices, It was as if a man and woman talked together, and then came ' footsteps mingled , with the metallic clinking in which the girl had tried to disbelieve. Sho no longer struggled to be brave. Cold-and shaking with terror 6he sprang out of' bed, and ran, pattering on her bare feet, out into tho tower room.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : W. S. Stanley |
Date Issued | 1908-08-01 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
