"I allowed you wanted him." . WintDn laughed openly. "Simplify it for him, Mr. Darrah. We all know that it was your move to stop the work, an you have stopped it for the moment. What is the charge and where is It mswerable?" The Rajah dropped the mask and spoke to the point. The cha'ge, seh, is trespass, and it is answerable in JudgWhitcomb's cou't in carbonate. The plaintiff in this particular case is John Doe, the supposabie owueh of that mining claim up yondeh. In the next it will probably be Rlcha'd Roe. You are fighting a losing battle, seh." Winton's smile showed bis teeth. "That remains to be seen," he countered, coolly. During this colloquy Virginia had held her ground stubbornly, this that it though she felt intuitively would be the greatest possible relief to the three men if she would go away But now a curious struggle as of a divided allegiance was hobMng her. Of course, sue wanted Mr. romervllle Darrah to win. Since he was its advocate, his cause must be righteous and just. But as against this dutiful convincement there was a rebellious hope that Winton would not allow himself to be beaten; or, rather, it was a feeling that she would never forgive him if she should. So it was that she stood with face averted lest he should see her eyes and read the rebellious hope in them. And notwithstanding the precaution he both saw and read, and made answer to the Rajah's ultimatum accordingly. "Do your worst, Mr. Darrah. We have some 20 miles of steel to lay to take us into the Carbonate yards. That steel shall go down in spite of anything you can do to prevent it." Virginia waited breathless for her uncle's reply to this cool defiance. STORY A FOOL FOR LOVE I By FBANCIS (Copyritfhi. vh. di LYNDE '. 1 j by J. P. Upplncott Co.) CHAPTER IV Continued. Ahead of the steel layers were the Italians placing the cross ties in position to receive the track, and here the fonnan's badge of office and scepter was a pick handle. Aoove all the clamor and the shoutings Virginia v could hear the of this foreman roaring out his commands in terms happily not understandable to her; and once she drew back with a little cry of womanly shrinking when the pick handle thwacked upon the shoulders of one who lagged. It was this bit of brutality which enabled her to single out Winton in the n.mg of workers. He heard the blow, and the oath that went with it, and she saw him run forward to wrench the bludgeon from the bully's bands and fling it afar. What words emphasized the act she could not hear, but the little dped of swift justice thrilled her curiously, and her heart warmed to him as ifcad when he had thrown off his coat to fall to work on the derailed engine of tae "Limited " "That was fine!" she said to herself. "Most men in his place wouldn't care, so long as the work was done, and done quickly. I wonder if oh. you startled me!" It was Mr. Somervllle Darrah again, clothed upon and in his right mind; otherwise the mind of a master of men who will brook neither defeat at the hands of an antagonist nor disobedience on the part of his following. He was scowling fiercely across at the Utah activities when she spoke, but at her exclamation the frown softened into a smiie for his favorite niece. "Startled you, eh? Pahdon me, my deah Virginia. But as I am about to startle someone else, perhaps you to your aunt." would better go She put her hand on his arm. "'Please let me stay out here, Uncle Somerville," she said. "I'll be good and not get in the way." He shook his head, rather in deprecation than refusal. "An officer will be here right soon now to make an arrest. There may be a fight, or at least trouble of a sort you wouldn't care to see, my deah." "is it is it Mr. Winton?" she asked. He nqdded. "What has he been doing besides being 'The Enemy?' " The Rajah's smile was ferocious. "Just now he is trespassing, and directing others to trespass, upon private property. Do you see that dump up there on tne mountain? the hole that looks like a mouth with a long gray beard hanging below it? That is a mine, and its claim runs dow'n across the track where Misteh Winton is just now spiking his rails." "But the right of way; I don't understand," she began; then she stopped short and citing to the strong arm. A d man in a hat and cowboy chapparajoes, with a revolver on either hip, was crossing the stream on the Ice bridge to scramble up the embankment of the new line. "The officer?" she asked, in an awed whisper. . The Rajah made a sign of assent. Then, identifying Winton in the throng of workers, he forgot Virginia's presence. "Confound him!" he fumed. "I'd give a thousand dollars if he'd faveh me by showing fight, so we could lock him up on a criminal bull-bellc- 1. alleys of the h. in me met. on thu other side of the canyon began Wt tin with renewed vigor. The Rajah threw up his head like a war horse scenting the battle from afar and laid his the command upon secretary. "Faveh me, Jsstrow. Get out there and see what they are doing, seh.'' The secretary was back in the shortest possible interval, and his report was concise and business-like- . "Work under full headway again, in charge of a rellow who wears a Wlly-- I cock hat. and smokes cigarettes." "Mr. Mort . P.

But the Rajah rose nastily without replying and went to his office state-- ; room, followed, shadow-like- , by the obsequious Jastrow. It was some little time after break-- I fast, and Virginia and the Revereiid Billy were doing a constitutional on the plank platform at the station, when the secretary came down from the car on his way to the telegraph count!" "Why, L'Dcle Somerville!" she cried. Contrary to Mr. Darrah's expressed hope, Winton submitted quietly. With a word, to his men a word that as stopped the strenuous labor-battl- e suddenly as it had begun he turned to pick his way down the rough hillside at the heels of the marshal. For some reason that she could never have set out in words Virginia "was It was no distinctly disappointed. see to the conflict of desire her part blaze up in violence, but it nettled her to see Winton give up so easily. Some such thought as this had possession of her while the marshal and his prisoner were picking their way across the Ice, and she was uopiug that Winton would give her a chance to requite him, If only with a look. But It was Town Marshal Petpr Biggin, affectionately known to his constituents as "Higginjln Pete," whb gave her the coveted opportunity. Instead of disappearing decently with his captive, the marshal made the mistake of his life by marching Wifi-toup the track to the private car, saying: thrusting hjm forward and What-all "Here's yer meat, Ouv'nor.

"Confound fun, si!" he exploded. t the peace. It M'bi not a jsstlie n e WALKED BACK TO office. It was Virginia who stopped him. "What do we do next, Mr. Jastrow 7" she said "call in the United States army?" For reply he handed her a telegram, damp from the "copying press. It was addressed to the superintendent of the C. & G. R. at Carbonate, and she read it without scruple. "Have the sheriff of t'te ounty swear in a dozen deputies find come with them by special train to Argentine. Revive all possible titles to abandoned mining claims and have Sheriff Deckert bring blank warrants to any emergency. "DARRAH, V. P." "That's one of them," said the secretary. "I daren't show you the other." "Oh, please!" she said, holding out on line of the Utah Extension, her hand, while the Reverend Billy considerately turned his back. Jastrow weighed the chances of detection. It was little enough he could do to lay her under obligations to him, and he was willing to do that little as he could. "I guess I can trust you," THE STATION AT THE HEELS OF HIS CAPTOR. Contrary to all precedent, it was mild- ly expostulatory. "It grieves me, seh, to find you so determined to cou't failure," he began; and when the whistle of the upcoming Carbonate train gave him leave to go n on: Constable, you will hnd for yourself and one in the hands of the station agent. Misteh Winton, that is your train. I wish you good morning and a pleasant journey. Come, Virginia, we shall be late to ouh breakfast." Win on walked back to the station at the heels of his captor, cudgelling his brain to devise some means of getting word to Adams. Happily the technologian, who had been unloading steel at the construction camp, had been told of the arrest, and when Winton reached the station he found his assistant waiting for him. "This is not a criminal matter, Mr. Biggin; will you give me a moment with my friend?" The grinned. "Bet your I ain't lovin' life I will. that old b'ller-bustin the private car none too hard." And he went in to get the passes. "What's up?" queried Adams, forget-linhis drawl for once in a way. "An arrest trumped-u- p charge of trespass on that mining claim up yonder. But I've got to go to Carbonate to answer the charge and give bonds, just the same." "Any Instructions?" "Yes. When the t rain is out of sight ami hearing, you get bac . over there and drive that track laying for every foot there is In ii." Adams nodded. "I'll do It, and get myself locked up, I supp ose." "No, you won't; that's the beauty of it. The majesty of the law all there Is of it In Argentine goes with me to Carbonate In the person of the town marshal." "Oh, foot SuccileBtly good! Well, so long. I'll look for you back on the evening train?" "Sure; If the Rajah doesn't order it be abandoned on my poor account."

Like the first, it was addressed to the superintendent at Carbonate. But this time the brown eyes flashed and her breath came quickly as she read the vice president's afterthought: "Town Marshal Riggln will arrive In Carbonate on No. 201 this a. m. with a Have our attorneys see to It prisoner. that the man is promptly jailed In default of bond. If he is set at liberty, a! he is likely to be, I shall trust you to arrange for his rearrest and detention at all cold-blood- hazards. "D." CHAPTER V. Virginia took th first step in the perilous path of the strategist when she handed the incendiary telegram back to Jastrow. "Poor Mr. Winton!" she said, with th3 real sympathy in the words made most obviously perfunctory by the tone. "What a world of possibilities there is masquei ailing behind that litTell tle word 'arrange.' me more about it, Mr. Jastrow. How will tbey arrange' it?" "Winton's rearrest? Nothing easier In a tougn mining camp like Carbonate, I should say." "Yes, but how?" "I can't prophesy how Grafton will go about It, but I know what I should do." Virginia's smll was Irresistible, but there was a look In the deepest depth of the brown eyes that was sifting Mr. Arthur Jastrow to the Innermost sand heap of his desert nature. ;i do t, Mr. "How would Napoleon Jastrow ?" she asked, giving him the exact fillip on the side of gratified vanity. "Oh, I'd fix him. He Is In a frame 'if mind right now; and by the tim" the lawyers am through drilling him In the trespass affair, he'll be Just spoiling for a row with somebody." "Do yon think so"? Oh, how And then what?" "Then I'd hire si, me plug-ugl- y to stumble up against him and pick a quarrel with him. He'd do the rest and land In the lockup." i dell-clou- s!

Will courteous young gentleman who so kindly ;tssisi,-,ouag lady knocked down ly Wentworth avenue car kindly tall on her at Vernon avenue ' Jackson read the notice over again, carefully conning each word. As he rend, a blush rose to his cheeks and his fingers twitched nervously. Jackson was the young man. and the young woman half closing his eyes, he could remember every' detail of that sweet face. The long, black laches drooped over her eyes so prettily as she leaned back on him in an effort to regain her breath. The color hat had mounted in her cheeks when she was aroused from her faint and found herself in his anus. Those full lipj which were so clcsu to his ihat he ir.iuht have had he dared. The nitinories were delicious, and now she was advertising for him. A score of happy romances flitted through his young and sensitive mind as he thouSht. Yes all of them had ended happily. An accident, pool lady in distress, a hero to the rescue, recovery in his arms, the second Yes, In meeting, the engagement. deed, they all ended most happily and surely, why should not this one? ra u s e d, Jackson "Providence," 'takes things in its own hands. A man and a woman bump into each other on the street and either fall in love or the gutter. Providence is to blame for everything. How often you read of a man saving a girl from drowning, and then the usual result, marriage, and happily together ever after." His hopes rose as he thought on, there could be no other conclusion; It was inevitable; and Jackson was glad of its inevitability. She had advertised for him to thank him, and, he hoped, to reward him with the greatest thing in the world. What a thoughtful thing for her to do; she had no chance in public to show him her gratitude it would not have been proper there. Jackson loved her all the more for her thoughtfulness, for her reserve in not making a manifestation of her great appreciation before that common, horrid crowd which had gathered about them immediately after the accident. It was three by the time Jackson had done musing and had built the last aircastle in which they were to live happily ever after. Then he rose hurriedly and rushed off to his room to dress. Beau Brummel never stood longer before his glass than did Jackson on that eventful afternoon. She would want her hero to look his best, he argued; it was, therefore, not from vanity that he picked out the most delicately colored tie to mutch his shirt. As he dressed he studied over what he would say, how he would act when she submerged liim with her profuse thanks. It would be difficult, he thought, to accept so many thanks from her. He studied over what to say and how to act to show her best that great love he had for her. At last, fully dressed, with his mind fully made up to end the romance that afternoon, if she were so Inclined, Jackson boarded one of the Wentworth avenue cars which providence had made instrumental in bringing them together. The ride was short to the impatient lover is seemed an age as he stood on the platform nervously inhaling a cigarette in an effort to quiet his thumping heart. It was a good neighborhood. Jackson was glad of that, but already he was in such a frenzy of love that he would have forgiven her a worse thing than living even in the Ghetto. With no difficulty he found the house, walked .proudly up the stairs and rang the bell. A maid answered the bell and ushered him into a parlor. In a few moments the girl came down. Jackson ruse to greel her. She gave him her hand coldly, but he excused It on account of her reserve and even that little coldness gave her greater charm In his eyes. "I'm so sorry to have troubled you," she began. "Trouble," laughed Jackson. "You know there can be no t rouble where you are concerned." "But you know," she went on, paying no attention to his effort at a compliment. "But, you know, it was quite necessary that I should see you." "And I was even more anxious to see you," burst out Jackson, "and to find that your accident was not serl ous." Still she paid no attention to him: there seemed to be something on he; mind. "I lost my pocketbook," she began again, "and I I thought that you you had taken tha Is, I thought you possibly had found it." "O," gasped Jack nil. "O was -was that all was thai what you ad vertised for?" "Why, yes, what do you think?" she smiled. "I I didn't know," murmured Jackson, weakly, reaching for bis hat.

The two boats which they were using were carried over the rapids and swamped. The other nine occupants of the boats had a hard battle for their lives, but managed to reach shore. The drowned men are: Bert Ure, Mel Curtis, joe Hamilton, Tom Highland, Frank Fitzgerald, Dave McMillan, Joe Hoden. So far as can be learned all are unmarried men. The force of sixteen men in the two boats were engaged in a log drive for the Idaho White Pine Mining company. After portaging a large fall, the first boat attempted to land and tie up for the night at the head of one of the rapids. It failed to make the lauding and the, boat was swept down. The second boat followed the first, the occupants thinking their comrades had passed the rapids safely, and were also swamped by the torrent. PRENCH SEAMEN STRIKE. Complete Paralysis of Country's Com merce Feared. Paris. A general strike of sailors and others belonging to the French naval reserve, began at almost all the ports of France at dayfight on Friday, and threatens the complete paralysis of French commerce.

The naval reserve comprise nearly the entire maritime population engaged in seafaring life and numbei about 117,H)0 men, of whom 25,000 are serving in the navy. In addition to practically all the steamers of the mercantile marine, most of the long shoremen belong to the naval reserve. The strike was declared by the ex ecutlve committee of the National Seamen s union because the govern merit's new bill increasing pensions from ?40.80 to $72.50 in the case of seamen and from $156 to $200 in the case of captains is regarded by thb members of the union as being inadequate.
