The "Fighting Squad" of District 18 has boldly thrown down the gago of battle to the corporation hirelings who under iho mask of names borrowed from air' honest calling have been wearying thc public eye with allega- ■ tions of discontent and lack of spirit among the locked out miners. And the hirelings hn;*'5 lgnominou>, ly failed to come to tho scrntcli ami take up thc challenge. At two monster meetings— ono a business men's" meeting thrown open to the public, and the other a union meeting in which the chairmanship and gavel and right to conduct tho meeting were frankly and freely offei ed to any disaffected member or group of members—the local champions of organized labor proved their- serene confidence in tho justice of Labor's cause by giving every opportunity for the presenting of open arid public proof in support of tlie secret aifd anonymous lies by means of which the enemies of labor have been trying to poison the public mind. The first of these meetings was held in the,big town hall at Frank, Alberta on Sunday afternoon, and was a public gathering, attracting crowded attendance not only from Frank itself but from the'neighboring towns of Coleman, Blairmore, Lilie) Passburg, Bellevue and Hillcrest. This meeting was for the express purpose of* affording opportunity "for argument to any and all persons opposed to the position of organized labor,-but hitherto prevented from addressing Labor bodies by reason of not themselves being members of organized labor. Not a.single representative of this class came to the front by way of giving proof that they had confidence in their case or that even.-the class itself ■has~any—tangible^existence—in—the- Crow's Nest Pass. '' - - which had been expressly arid unanimously forbidden by the Fernie con- , ventlon of April 12-14. The feeling of uneasiness which had been created by the attitudo thus displayed from south of tho line led to a strong speech from a prominent member of the Frank local union in which he urged the summary ending of all relations with the International union. A minister however, who happened tb be present in the audience, proceeded to point out' in a few earnest sentences that care should .be taken not to sever tho bonds of brotherhood with their fellow working- men residing south of,that international lino, which "cuts so littlo ice" In the struggles of the working class with the exploiting class. Finally advice on the/ question was' taken .from .Mr. .Taxon, the visitor from the prairie and that gentleman solved the problem by commending both the democratic principles favored by the first speaker, and the regard for International comradeship evinced by tlie minister, and suggesting that the proper course would be to not withdraw from the International but rather to appeal to the comradeship of the rank . and file of local unions, if after a fair play testing of the situation; it should prove that the enitre International board of 26 members was bent on practicing or supporting those autocratic ..methods which prove such, a curse to all uplift movements that fall into them. This * advice was accepted as providing a middle course which would conserve de-^ocraUc.princinles without disrupting organized strength, and resolutions calling upon the district board, to prepare consecutive appeals, .first to' tlie International board, and'then to the local unions generally throughout America, were unanimously adopted. At-the—Goleman^ruass~meeting—"of~ On behalf of the miners the meeUng was addressed by Acting District President Robert Evans1, Coleman -local- President. Harry Smith-and Convention Delegate - Clem Stubbs, and- tbelrJogi; cal arguments and , straightforward mariner made a winning Impression from the first that was manifestly evident from the tense attention and repealed applause that was given by tlio vast audience. ° The only representative of the outside world who came forward was Honore Jaxon, the Saskatchewan Agricultural Society map, who Is making a personal and Impartial Investigation of tho coal difficulty; and ho was compelled to acknowledge the Impression produced upon him by the unity of thought and sentiment evinced by the horny handed men beforo lilm.

MAY 15, 1909 PAGE THREE WATERY GRAVES FOR A SCORE Twenty-five Men Returning from Work , * a >* ' In Overloaded Boat-Boat0 G-oes Down With All "PITTSBURG,. May 1*3— Twenty persons are missing, and.all of them are believed to have been drowned, when a gasoline launch sank in the middle of the Ohio.-river, four miles below ; Pittsburg tonight. Of the "thirty occu- * pants of the boat only' ten are known to have escaped,- _ -- The Boat Was Swamped ••' All of the- men were employees of the Pressed Steel Car,;'Co. at McKees- port Rock Plant. The'men had been working overtime and left'a few minutes lifter eight to cross tlie.river in 1 a gasoline launch. The boat, is said to have been intended for not more than twenty persons. Albert Graham, the pilot of the boat is said to have told one of the occupants that the boat was safe as he had had twenty, in It last night, but when the boat reached the middle of the ri-' ver -which the -water is perhaps twenty feet deep it sank. There was no explosion". The .boat simply sank beneath the weight, it had been bearing and went to the bottom. . As it sank itcasued a suction which took many of the men down 'wltli it. Others attempted to swim ashore but were chilled by the cold water and became exhausted before reaching land. So far as is known but ten of the men survive. shot a number of times.- He showed how he stopped Tommy Burns and how he proposed to fight Jim Jeffries. He showed numerous poses and the photographer was busy for an hour or more'. n ■ 7- ■ Then Mr. Johnston.went down- the elevator and stood on -the crossing of William street admiring himself and waiting for his friend "who had been delayed. He occupied much spaca on the crossing and made no efforts to move. One of the stereptypers of the Journal came along and tried to-get by him'. lii doing so he bumped against him and the negro champion took,offence. The stereotyper did not know the champion. He only knew that this is a white' man's country and he'talked Iback. The argument began to grow interesting when two husky Italian newsboys came along and chipped in. They did not like negroes either and drew no- color line. • Johnson-made some ugly remarks to one of the Italian boys 'and received a blow . in the stomach that surprised him. That young street urchin is not a prize fighter but he has learned.to take care of himself in emergencies, and he hit hard and promptly. At the same instant the other boyhanded Mr. Johnson one in the jaw and in staggering back the champion tripped and fell backward. A third newsie in the Newsboys Home raised a window and dropped a flower pot on the head of the champion which ciit an ugly gash above his'eye. The'two who were*with him on the ground kicked him two or three times and ran just as reinforcements in the shape of the champion's friend who had been detained upstairs arrived on the scene. . „ ' Johnson left for Pittsburg that Highland Is-appearing in vaudeville the-.« this week. But he is wearing a patch of court plaster over one eye.

Hains Jr, on trial for killing William E. Annie, began his last plea to the jury for his client. Mr. Mclntyre said his summing up.would occupy about four hours. There is a possibility that the case may go to the jury late to-day7but it Is more likely,, that Justice Garretson will adjourn after both sides have said their last word to the jury and will deliver his charge tomorrow morning., In opening bis plea Mr.. Mclntyre said: 'It was,the act'"of God that directed Captain Hains and* when he. took the life of the men who ruined his home the meeting'between Annis and the defendant was accidental. There was no indention,to kill.," Taking up the question of Captain Hain's sanity Mr. Mclntyre said: ' "The burden is now on the people to convince you beyond reasonable doubt that he was sane. The law does not require us to convince you beyond a reasonable doubt that he was Insane. ' . ■ The State's Argument "The' state intends to show that he was In a normal state of,mind by a few cursory observations abstracted from a mass of matter, and even though his actions may have.seemed rational at times, medical science will show that insane people often think arid act rationally at times. Was it a mental shock sufficient to unbalance his mind when this unfortunate man learned* of his wife's infatuation from her own lips?" - It was then that melancholia seated herself, beside the throne of reason, and" afterward taunted and tortured his brain, accelerated his mind and altered the emotions of,his heart." Mr. Mclntyre criticized the state's hypothetical question and ermarked that the speech and conduct of the de- :defeiidant=as-there"reiated=~wLere=taken from unimportant incidents which might have occurred to any man sane or insane.1 "I do not deny'that this man had lucid Intervals and rational moments when he talked and cated like a normal man.. Many insane persons have such periods of rationality," said Mr. Mclntyre. „ Seattle Hotel and Resturant. Keepers Pledge Themselves Not to Raise the :• Prices before or during the Fair. SEATTLE, May 11—Visitors at the Alaska-Yukon Pacific exposition'which opens at' Seattle on June 1 and closes October 16 will be able to line to their satisfaction at the city's leading cafes and. restaurants at normal prices. To leave no 'doubt as to the working out of this commendable spirit on the part of Seattle's caterers, they recently met and voted as a body an agreement binding .all resturant, cafe, grill and hotel men to maintain the present prices through the exposition time, and no member „of the organization to which the caterers belong will be allowed to' take advantage of the opportunity ,. to, reap additional profits ag has been done, despite protests in previous exposition cities. i The action was taken after I. A. Nadeau, director "general of the A. Y. P. had addressed the cssembled restaurant men, showing them how the increased crowds that would follow reasonable charges. would not only add to the credit of tho city and the success of,the exposition but would mean increase in business. To the hired help must be given much of the credit for the continuance of low prices. Waiters,.cooks and helpers of all kinds have entered into an agreement that the present scale of wages shall not be tampered with during the fair. * -,. •-Seattle will not only have a remarkable "exposition but will be able, to accommodate thc influx of visitors in a way that will be a cause for lasting satisfaction.

S, STANLEY, ■ Manager THE STRIKE SITUATION '■One of the noticeable features in comiectien ivilh tlie different reports published from time to time in various papers of the district is the apparent lack of cohesion in the statements appearing from day to day. The Lethbridge Herald has had its letter factory working overtime lately grinding out letters minus signatures, the purport of the.majority appearing fb be an effort to throw discredit on the officers of district 18, aud to sow seeds of discord in the ranks of the miners. For instance we reprint the following from the columns of a li.' C. cotcni: Lethbridge, May 11— This week will in all probability, see the ehd*bf the. coal miners'strike. ' The men are getting disgusted with thc condition of affairs. Most of them are running short.of funds. The mine owners are prepared to hold out.for some weeks, so it is ap- r (t ' C parent that the end of the strike is near. '• From the columns of the Lethbridge Herald is taken tlie following: "The local miners, when asked by the Herald as to the accuracy of^the report that they were going to open negotiations with the local company with a view to returning to work at once, said there was no truth in it. They will hang out- whether President Lewis gives them support or not. They have funds in the local district to last for several weeks. " If discontent does exist in District 18, it is slow atshowing,itself in any tangible form at the proper time and place. , At two large meetings held in Coleman and Frank, every opportunity was.given indirectly to ,the wealth and prosperity * of the entire community. Of recent years the farmers of the west have been organizing and concentrating their powers for the protection and advancement of their own. best interests, and today their sanction or disapproval; is a.matter of supreme, moment in government halls. The • agitation, not new or ill-timed by any means, has been begun with fresh impetus for the government ownership of mines, or at least sufficient mines to prevent any recurrence' of the present intolerable position. .The governments of the western provinces have not been slow to. realize the seriousness of the'situation, and the government of .Alberta intimated in no uncertain maimer, that the government cotild control and operate coal mines as successfully as theyo could manage their. own telephone business. From its very democratic nature the government of any of the western provinces would grant fair working conditions and common justice to tha employees of the'mines, who would be civil servants, not hirelings of grasping and greedy, corporations. . ' ' Shylock, as-we have him recorded in Shakespeare, was after his pound of flesh, and nothing else would he consider. In the end, through, the pursuit of his, damnable and unalterable purpose, he called down upon his head consequences more dire than he had sought to inflict upon his happless victim. v ' We are not prophets, nor yet the sons of prophets, but the present attitude of the operators who still cling to,the Western Operators Association, and follow at their beck aiid call, must appear, to the careful student/of things past and present, as the veritable handwriting on the wall. COMMUNICATION Idr~any^miner, d"issatisfied.~with~conditions orTh? actions of the officers, not only to state his grievances, but to assume control of the meeting in place of the duly appointed officer. In neither case didthe offer find a taker.. .;; ■ „ ■;, The coal operators perhaps don't realize that in the present,struggle against an agreement, fair enough for the largest concern in the Pass, the Crow's Nest Puss Coal Company, they are uncovering 'for themselves a. veritable pitfall surrounded with most disastrous results to their, corporate interests. The farmers of the prairie are perhaps being hit. ns hard as any individual class through the shortage of fuel. The.complete tie up of.-the steam plowing and seeding-outfits, which lipve come to lie part and parcel of present day agriculture in the west, is not a matter to be slightly or easily set aside, and constitutes a .serious set hack (The editor does not hold himself responsible for opinions expressed by correspondents.) -*v- "'-'7V To the Editor District Ledger'--'.'.; The editor of a western paper recently, made tlie- -statement "Let'.'' me write the headlines over the dispatches Ih the dally papers and I can-create any"sort of public sentiment."... In the main thisis true. The more influential- class""don't take time to' think, and hence don't reason for themselves, but take their newspapers as voicing- popular sentiment, and desiring to be on the popular side of everything, the accept * the headlines' as a sort of abridged gospel. Ifot reading a given artiole, they - couple their "headline" Impression with what they glean from the remarks of those who have read it all-and who-are of the same kidney "as themselves, and in this way they become mere parrots. They have no justiflcable opinions, and are always ready to praise or condemn whatever is popular in their clique. .Serious social problems'they have no, use for, human sympathy is unknown to them save through the headlines: ' *•-'-' * ■:' , ,'-';.'*.'.'•- Henry George once said: "Most people don't think at all.",; - I thought it rather an extravagant statement, "but when I hear'the man'of average'Intellf* gence complaining of low wages I not drily.conclude that such a man doesn't think." but that he has nothirig^to think with—more's the pity. •>. y" ' *.- Wage's "must be paid from the fund produced by labor applied to' land—if half the land is field idle, the "head- liner" may not know it but'half wages will be the result.

May 9—One hund- dried and fifty men have been put to work to build the new'station and freight sheds and fix the grade at Hosmer. NOTES AND COMMENT There are pictures in the' papers of "TaftJs Workshop," that will make those who use a workshop to work iii snort in scorn.' . A man.may do some heavy work lying back in a morris, chair, with his feet on afoot rest, but you can't makefile man who labors believe it. Editorially the'Calgary'Albertan saysr "The Pass miners, remembering that Frank Sherman lias always' stood' loyally by them, will stand by him when it comes to the worst. " That is just what we have been saying, and the sneaks that were trying, to turn the.men against him by'letter writing are. wallowing in their own dirty tricks. , Now1 that the* eity has been authorized by the citizens ■ to purchase and, establish the' water works system they "shbuIcTIose no fime~iiTrunnThY'WtW through the recreation grounds and down the annex.

Several good houses would be erected there at once if the,city,woult'l run the valor to that part, Another matter that has been in the balance for a long time is the grading of .the hill, ,,' The city engineer surveyed the grade and it was to have been finished long ago.

He received complaints and on going through and requesting them to desist one" of them, made use of-obscene and foul language. Many women were ln the coach. Ho arrested this defendant who offered such fierce -resistance' that he was compelled to call'for assistance. He eventually secured him by putting on the handcuffs and on arrival at' Coal Creek he locked him up. - The other defendant was advised to go quietly away, but disregarded this and persisted ln using obscene language.-He''also locked him up. Both defendants pleaded guilty and said thoy were drunk or lt, would not' haye occurred'. '.The magistrate very hesitatingly took this view and said they-could go-on. each paying a fine,of $5 and costs. .-"' , We, iiate to see any man In trouble, and we are always inclined to make reasonable allowances but whatever the cost and no matter whom we' offend, our women and children must be protected from" the ruffianism and foul and dirty oaths and expressions which are becoming quite too common a feature, not only on the train but almost in every part of the camp.

MAY 15, 1909 POSTAL UNION TIE-UP FRANCE And Call General Strike—Postal Service Totally Demoralized—Masses Are , Greatly Angered Paris, May. 11—After four hours of exciting debate in the chamber of deputies today the discussion of the pos tal situation went over to the 13th of May. ' The response of the postal employes was quick and decisive. Within half an hour the federal commission had . issued an order for a general strike and railroad mail clerks walked out* in a body. An hour, later a. meeting of 6000 postal employees at the Hippodrome took up tho gage of battle and unanimously voted to strike. There was no great enthusiasm shown, but determination and, a resolution to force the hand of the government were apparent. The government Is playing for time. "Wc must not be, caught napping," was the spirit of the meeting as expressed by Paurol, a dismissed postman, and one of the most active organizers of the movement. During the debate in the chamber, Messrs. Sembat and YVil- Jim, socialists, defended the position of the strikers, affirming their right to organize themselves into a syndicate, the only' way of reducing their grievances,-* and charging the government with failure to keep its promises at the conclusion of the previous strike and especially with regard to the retirement of M. Simyan, under secretary of posts and telegraphs. ' M. De Channell considered the crisis very grave. He laid the responsibility for the present .situation largely upon "parliamentarism," which ho said was working in a vicious circle and he considered that the only remedy, would be the introduction of a real civil service whicli was based on merit, and to end favoritism and the spoils system. M.'Barthou, minister of public works, insisted that neither he' nor the pre- .mier hadt promised .Slmyan's dismissal. He produced the official journal as proof of what he had said. The minister reaffirmed the government's unalterable opposition to concede the right of state employees to form a -syndicate as there was no analogy -against stoppage of work and no guarantee of promotion and pension in old age. "It parliament asks us to revcrseour -attitude,—continued~M Barlhoji.TlffiL will retire and leave' others the abdication which would be a mortal blow to the imprescribable rights that parliament holds from the nation and to the essential, permanent vital interests of the'nation itself." ' ■ Towards the close of the meetings of thc federal commission the spectators, became more and more excited in their denunciation of the government. A caricature of M. Clemen- ceau was carried into the hall and amid the hooting and jeers of the crowd the premier was denounced,in violent terms. "You are fighting for liberty of opinion and liberty of association,' yelled Panron, "and you must not resume work until you have obtained the right to unite as a syndicate.'" A permanent striko committee and branch commissions were created and delegates were despatched to the provinces to pursue an active propaganda to make the striko complete. Despatches received f/om a great 'many cities give sympathy and support, to the employees and to unions ia general. The miners congress now in session at lens, also promised aid. The president of the commission announced that tomorrow not a letter must leave Paris. M. Pauron, assured the meeting that they could depend on M. Pataud,the leader of the electricians to find a way to upset the wireless system. The meeting closed with the adoption of a report condemning the disloyalty of the government and binding .all present to remain on strike until full satisfaction had been given. The, general opinion,of the fight is that the govern- 'ment with the aid-of the soldiers and the co-operation of the commercial bodies, would be enabled to maintain a crippled service. The .main danger is that violence may.be aroused on the appearance of ths general federation of labor. The Paris chamber of commerce tonight sent out a letter to all chambers of commerce in France with full instructions relative to ii scheme for a better service which is to be carried out in the event of the railroads failing, by means of-automobiles. The officials of the various depart- jn.ents.have already arranged for this. ST.

The pace at which the first ten miles were run was faster tlitm has characterized events of a similar nature of this kind, the first flvo miles going in 27 minutes and 56 seconds nnd the ton miles In 50.02. The race brought to the Polo ground a crowd of about. 20,000 enthusiasts, a great many, of whom were In their seats ho'irs before tho time set for the start. The weather was ideal. The air had just enough crispness to make the terrible strain of running as light as possible. c Nevertheless tho heartbreaking pace set for tho first ton miles soon told on tho runners and man after man sank to tho turf exhausted only to go on again, spurred by trainers, tho shout of spectators and tho lively music of a band. At the crack of tho starting pistol Marsh took the lead, with St. Yves, edging lilm strldo for strldo, tho littlo Frenchman pattering on llko a steady Shetland pony, never moro than a fow feet behind tho Canadian. Tho two procticnlly run together for 15 miles, for although St, Yves assumed tho role of pneo mnlcor In th • 4th and ran tho pneo up to n rack'ng m'U tho man from Canada liunij* on, Behind thoBij two, illHtiincoil dsni'j tlinen hy n fow ynrds, sometimes by a tew laps, tlio low pt'dlod Svnnbery strliloil hin way along wllh Scandnnnvlnn phlegm. In the sixth mile St. Yves had killed his man and Marsh began to fall hack slowly at first by Inchon nnd thon hy yards nnd then by oomploto laps. First, 'flvnii.i-.-ri*,, then Apploby, running wllh long graceful strldo, pasned him. For a whilo tho plucky Canadian fought ngnltmt Dorando pasnlng him, bu' thn Italian would not be do tiled, nud mnld lho hIioiiIh of IiIh almost frantic Ktipporter/i, rushed by with u fine IiuihI of npeei|.

"Morning," he said cheerily, addressing himself to the white aproned attendant behind .the'bar. "Morning,", was the reply. "How'd you1 like a sherry and egg this morning?" continued the stranger. ' , "Well, now that does sound good to me. Are—are you going to — treat?" "I'll, furnish the eggs* if you - will contribute the sherry. "Done," agreed the proprietor. * =--- "All right. I'll be back in a min* ute," the frosted( one called over his shoulder as he walked around to the door. i Into the street he made his way and halted before a grocery store in front, of which the clerk was sweeping tlie, steps. "Morning," he said good natured-" ly;' "Morning," came the reply. . "'* "A little raw this morning," he pursued. "Yep." "How'd a sherry and egg go this morning?" he asked rubbing some beat into his hands. "Best thing I've heard to-day," announced tho clerk. Interested.' "Tell you what I'll do," the stranger continued; "I'll furnish the sherry if you'll furnish the eggs." "Sure." • "All right; trot outathree eggs and follow me." And the stnrnger led the way back to the cafe. "Here's tho eggs," he announced to the proprietor. ; "Here's the sherry," replied the proprietor, mixing the drinks.. "Here's how!" the three exclaimed in unison and they drank the concoction and replaced the glasses on the bar. "By the way," said the proprietor to the grocery clerk, ."you contributed the eggs, didn't you?" "Yep," said the clerk smacking bis lips. ' "And I furnished the sherry didn't I?" ' "Yep." "Well then, stranger where do you come In?" * ' *-. "Why, gentlemen," replied the stranger as he bowed his way out, "my position is easily explained. I'm the promoter."

Suddenly a young man of aristocratic appearance rose from a table nt the end of thi* room,, where he had been •eated In company with a pretty and aoaartly dressed girL. A graceful gesture excused him to hia fair companion, arid he threaded his way deftly between the jostling tables to where Mistiteh sat. He wore court dress and b decoration. Markart recognized ln tbe young -man Baron von Hollbrandt, junior secretary of the German legation in Slavna. Hollbrandt bowed to Mlstlteh, with whom he was acquainted, then bent over the giant's burly back and whispered in his ear: , "Take a friend's advice, captain." he said. 'Tvo been at tho palace, and I. know the prince had permission to withdraw at half past 0. He was to return to Slavna Come, go back. You've had your 6*>roe." "By the Lord. I'm obliged-to you!" cried Mlstlteh. "Lads, we're obliged to Baron von Hollbrandt! Could you tell me the street he means to come hy ? Because"—he rose to his feet agnin- "we'll go and meet.blm!*'. Half the hall heard him. and the speech was 6oon passed on to any out of hearing, A sparse cheer sputtered here and there, but most were silent. Rastatz gasped again, while Sterkoff frowned and squinted Villainously. Hollbrandt whispered once more, then stood erect, shrugged his shoulders, bowed and walked back to his pretty friend. He sat down and squeezed her hand ia apology.' The pair broke into laughter a moment slater. Baron von Hollbrandt felt that he, at least, bad done his duty. The three had drunk and drunk. Rastatz was silly, Sterkoff vicious, the giant Mlstlteh jovially anil cruelly reckless, exalted not only by liquor, but with the sense of the part be played. Suddenly from behind.the glass screen rose a mighty roar: "Long live Mistiteh! Down with tyrants! Long live Captain Hercules!" It was fuel to the flames. Mistiteh drained his glass and hurled it on the floor. "Well, who follows me 7* he cried. Half the men started to their feet The other half pulled them down.

He rushed to Mlstlteh, with his hands out and ."For God'a saker loud on his lips. "Your cried Mistiteh. "By heaven, •what elso does your general want? What else does Matthias Stenovics want? Tell mo that!" Amid a dead silence be went out, his two henchmen after him. He and Sterkoff walked firm and truo. Rastatz lurched in hia gait. A thousand eyes followed their exit, and from SOO throats went up a long sigh of relief that tbey were gone. But what had thoy gono to do?1 The company decided that lt was just as well tor them, whether collectively or as individuals, not to know too much about that Let it. be hoped that tho cool air outoldo would havo a sobering effect and send thom homo to bed) Yot.from behind tho glass screen thero soon arose again a busy murmur of voices, like tho hum of a bechlvo threatened with danger. Outside, big Mlstlteh had crossed the canal and como to tho cornor where tho Street of tho Fountain opens on to'St. Michael's squaro. "What say you to a call at the Hotel do Paris, lads?" ho •aid. "Hlstr Sterkoff wblsporod. "Do you hear that step coming up tho street thero?" . Tho Illuminations burned still in the ■quaro and aont a path of light down tlio narrow street, Tho throo stopped •and turned their heads. Sterkoff point* cd. Mlstlteh looked nnd Rmnckod liln pondorous thigh, the window sill. The room was dark, for the path of. light from the illuminations, which made the roadway below white, threw hardly a gleam on to its somber walls, but Sophy, had no need of a lamp and every need to save her money. She sat in the gloom, busy in .thought, the fresh evening air breathing soft and cool on her brow from the open window. •, ' ■ Suddenly sbe raised her head. There was a wild, quick volley of cheering. It came from the Golden Lion, whose lights across the. square a sideways craning of her neck enabled her to see. Then there was silence for a few minutes. Again the sound broke forth, and with lt confused shoutings of a name Rhe could not make out Yes—what was it? Mlstltch--Mlstltcb! That wns her flrst hearing of tho uaroe. Silence fell again, nnd she sank back Into her chair. "The lights, the stir, tho revelry, were not for her, nor the cheers nor the shouts. A moment of reaction and lassitude came on her, a moment when the. present, tho actual, lapped her around with Its dim, muddy flood of vulgar necessity and sordid needs. With a sob, she bowed her head to meet her hands—-u sob that moaned a famine of life, of light, of love. "Go back to your scullery, Sophy Grouch!" What voice had said that? She sprang to her feet with fists clinched and whispered to.the darkness, "No!" In the street below Mistiteh slapped his thlgn. Sophy pushed her hair back from her heated. forehead and looked out of the window. To the right, some twenty yards away and just at the end of the street she saw the flgures of three men. In the middle was one who bulked like a young Falstaff-Falstaff with his paunch not grown. He was flanked by two lean fellows who looked small beside him. She could not see the faces plainly since the light from the square was behind them. They, seemed to be standing there and'looking past the sign of the Silver Cock along the street A measured, military footfall sounded on her left. Turning her head, she saw a young man walking, with head bent down and arms behind him. The line of light struck full on him. He was plain to see as by broadest day. He wore a costume strange to her eyes —a black sheepskin cap, a sheepskin tunic, leather breeches and high unpolished boots—a rough, plain dress., Yet a broad red ribbon crossed it and a Btar glittered on the. breast The only tweapon~*^sTrsBBTC^urveid^sciinitar.- It was the ancient costume of the shall 'have no such plea at the court martial," be said. "Gentlemen don't waylay .one another in * the. streets. Stand aside!** Mistiteh laughed, and in an Instant the prince sprang at him. Sophy heard the blades meet Strong as death was the fascination for her eyes—aye, for her ears, too, for she heard tbe quick moving feet and the quicker breathing of a mortal combat But she would not look—she tried not even tb listen. Her eyes were for a man.she could not see, her ears for a man she could not hear. She remembered the lean fellow hidden in the porch, straight nnder her window. She dared not call to warn the prince of him. A turn of the head, a moment of Inattention, would cost either combatant his life. She took the man ln the porch for her own adversary, his undoing for her share in the fight Very cautiously, making no sound, she took the heavy lamp—the massive bronze figure of the girl—raised it painfully in both her hands and poised lt halfway over the window sill. Then she turned her eyes down again to watch the mouth of the porcb. Her rat was in that hole! Yet suddenly the prince came into her view. He circled halfway around Mlstlteh, then sank on one knee. She heard him guard tbe captain's lunges with lightning quick movements of his nimble sclmlter. lie was trying tbe old trick they had practiced for hundreds of years at Volscnl --to follow his parry with an upward ripping stroke nnder the adversary's sword, to strike the 'Inner side of hl3 forearm and cut the tendons of the wrist uThIs trick big Captain Mistiteh. a man of the plains, did not know. A jangle—a slither—a bellow of pain. of rage! The prince had mnile his stroke; the hill men of Volsenl were justified of their pupil. Mistltch's big sword clattered on the (lags.' Facing his enemy, with his back to the porch, the prince crouched motionless on his knee, but it was death to Mlstlteh to try to reach the sword with his n n ma Im e d .hand. it was Sophy's minute. The .message that had come ran fierce through all her veins. Straining to the weight,, she raised the figure in ber hands and leaned out of the window. Yes, a lean hand, with a long knife, a narrow head, a'spare, long'back crept out of the darkness of the porch- crept silently. .The body drew itself together for a fatal spring on the unconscious prince for a fatal thrust It ,would be death-and to Mistiteh salva-' tion torn from tbe jaws of ruin. "Surrender yourself. Captain Mistiteh," said the prince.. Each oi the chief or** •{ana of the body u * i link ia the Chain ol llife.'

It was constantly his habit thus to walk. His friends praised his vigilance; bis foes reviled bis prowling, spying tricks. Sophy did not know tho dress, but the face she knew. It had been but lately beforo her dreaming.eyes. She had seen lt in thc flesh tbat morning from tho terrace of the Hotel de Paris. Tho threo came on from her right, one of tho. lean men banging back, lurking a littlo behind. Tbey wero under her window now. Tho prince was but a few yards away.

Sterkoff lay very still save that bis fingers scratched tho flags. Turning, thc prince saw a bronze figure at bis feet—a bronze figure holding a broken lamp. Looking up, he saw dimly a woman's white face at a window. Then the street was on a sudden full of men.

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : W. S. Stanley |
Date Issued | 1909-05-15 |
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. |
