BC Historical Newspapers
The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

It appears thc .seniority preference in former schedules was omitted from last schedule', and on this ground Mr. Marpole con tended the company had "made .ho 'breach of the schedule, and,that the strike was unjustified. He'firmly refused, to accept the represcntatioiis'of the' deputation, who returned Thursday morning. The general'siiperintend- enl's reply wilTlx; laid before the union 'to decide on the course of action. Many, of the men "are dis-, posed to .fight the" matter onl, and this may involve a strike of 'the machinists not only in thc local hops but elsewhere. A feature of this deputation was that'the U. B. E. E.-came into' the discussion for the first timc,'as the machinists are also members of that organization. Siipt.

A force of men is working'at tho sawmill removing tho old power wheel and replacing il hy n new ,and ,larger wheel. .This alteration is necessary owing to lie increased machinery to be placed in the mill.

"I am a water drinker, Sir Charles Colliiigliain.aiid take It from choice hot, according to my physician's rule," I replied severely, "l'ou, I conclude, from your title, are a British army officer, but 1 do not consider you are a gentleman to make such aspersions." "Como, como, don't lose your temper. I never do���it's a mistake���in business, and you haven't told me yet who you are and what you have to do willi Captain Wood." The shortest way was to give him one of my cards. lie was not unacquainted with the name of Saraband and said so courteously enough. Indeed, he became now so civil that, judging him lo be really a person of importance, I gave him a brief outline of the plot to which we believed Captain Wood had fallen a victim. "l'ou think it is the money, do you? Nothing else?" ho asked sharply. ""Why, what else could there be?" Ho hesitated for a moment, but said at last: "I'm not at liberty to tell you exactly. They arc confidential matters con- , nectcd with the service. But thcro might bo reasons to induce designing people to carry oil Captain Wood and hide him for a time. ' Ho possesses certain Information of the highest value ���to��� Well, I must not tell you. But tlie disappearance of theso papers, of the dispatch box, in short, supports mc in that view."

"Oho, Miss Frldn. so you have not been long in coining to an understanding with our man of many million's! Read it," lie, said.'and he handed me the letter. It was headed "273 Hill street".and vvas signed "Frida." There, were only a few lines: VYlinl has become ot you? I thought wo were to sec jou early, belore luncheon. I have been simply (urlous.

I'm off." We soon started, Savory and I, In a second hansom and at the man's suggestion took the dog. "He'll surely find the captain," said Savory, "if there Is any sort of scent." nnd tho dog seemed to.understand his business, for directly we reached Hill street lie was the first inside the bouse and raced up stairs In a businesslike way and evidently quite at home In the place. By and by ho came down aga'-n. followed by about the brightest, smartest and sweetest young creature I had scon since my last Sunday walk on Fifth avenue after church.

"When the man comes, tell him to bring my bike around. No; I'd belter take you with me." Order my pony cart. Say it must be at the door in ten minutes from now.'.' In loss than ten minutes she came down stairs dressed for driving and buttoning on her gloves.' "Come, sir," she said brisker and sharper than ever. "I cannot easily forgive your previous dilatorincss, but we must try to make up for lost time. Here is the pony cart, and we will take the dog." When ,wc reached the Strathallan road, to my deep chagrin the boy Joseph was not there, nor was he to be seen anywhere near-or far. Now, I could have staked my life on little Joseph Yialls. He was a London lad who had seen much in his short life on shore and afloat, for although I had picked him off a crossing on account of his quick tongue and bright'ways he had been to sea on Thames lighters right round the coast. Now I was ' training him to our business, ne tool- to it naturally, knew what was expected of him and was not tho sort to be fooled into quitting his post or going off on fandangoes on his own'account. Miss'Falrholmo turned ou me like a tiger when wo drove past the house and back still without a sign of .Too. "Get out of this cart and go and ring the bell," she said fiercely. "The sooner we get inside that house tho better. Make haste, please." I hammered at that door and hung on to that bell till I woke all the echoes of that dead-alive suburb. No one came. There vv.i.s not' a sign of life within. Presently the police came up, and the general, who had been cruising about on his bicycle, joined miss outside. They nil stopped tliere, talking to her a bit, and I judge thoy were hesitating to act, arguing it out with the general, who was very fierce aad positive, ordering them about short and sharp, but doing little good till missy took up the running. But she soon sent them tlj-- ing in after mc and came with them. Ono of the constables ran around to the back, where ho found a strip of garden with a low wall. Ho was over that like a flash and in through tho scullery window. Half a minute more and wc heard him unchaining the front door. Then wc all trooped into tlie entry and ran through the house, some high, some low, but none of us finding anything. There was not a scrap of furniture nor the signs of any occupancy that we could sec. But miss, she also hiinted, halloing' on the collie dog with a "Go look, Roy," worry, worry, worry, which drove the beast nearly mad. He hunted and quested through the house vvilh a short, snapping bark, as if he wns rounding-up a sheepfold, and it was he, marvelous animal, who led us Into the basement. Into a sort of cellar between the front parlor and the kitchen. Here ho raced round and round like a thing possessed, yelping furiously. The place was all black darkness.. No windows, not a glint of daylight. But some one struck a match and lit a bullseye, and wo could make out what tliere was tliere. One big, long table, a kitchen table, with seats on each side, and at the end a strange tiling that told Ils own Elorr. . .
