Thus came the Round Table of Arthur and his knights, a goodly fellowship, the fame of which still endures.

Then he should endeavor to work out a plan of action that will bring out all these particulars. He should study each character carefully, so that he can determine its exact proportionate value .to the story, he should think out characteristic bits of business that will heighten the effect of each part, and he must devise stage group ings of the characters that will make pictures; for a play is really a story illustrated by living pictures. oe so rne groupings must that the component arranged parts balance each other, Care must be taken that no actor stands in a line and so hides another; neither should there be a majority of players on any one side of the stage.

After some weeks reconnoiterlng on foot throuffb the "coal regions, the young detective, James McParland! sent out to expose the Molly Maguires, arrived 4n Pottsville, where ihe eV tablished himself in a1 boarding house kept.by a Mrs. O'Regan. There he met; a man named Jennings; who volunteered to show him the sights of the city that same night. Passing a noisy drinking place called the Sheridan House, McKenna, , for that was' McParland's assumed name, proposed going in. Jennings warned hixa, as be valued his life, never, to cross the threshold of that place. i "It's he said,! kept by Pat Dormer," ' "the big- body master of. the Melly Maguires. He stands six feet four, weighs 250 pounds and is a bad man." McKenna noted his companion's frightened tone, but, far from beiir disturbed by these words, rejoiced to find himself so soon on the right seeat. ater in the evening, having, give Jennings the slip, he went back to the dangerous saloon and eatered without ceremony, finding himself in tho midst of a noisy companyi most of them drinking, while some danced te a ccreaming fiddle. Things moved on rapidly enough during the next two hours. McKenna, having invited all hands to the bar, paid for a secomd round of drinks; and then, springimjr into the v middle of the floor, danoed a flying hornpipe, to the full approval of the assembled Irishmen, who were all Mollies. He completed tho favorable impressionthus made by singing a roaring songand was then iavited to a game of cards, Pat Dormer him self being his partner, against Jack Hurley and another big ruffian named Frazer, who used to boast that he thrashed every stranger who came . , j into camp. You've got six cards in your hand," said McKenna to Frazer after a few minutes' playing. "That's too Vof a in euchre." many game " "You're a li "Am I," said McKenna, seizing Frazer's big hand in his sailor's grip and making him show half a dozen cards. The result was a fight in the hand ball alley, which Pat Dormer lighted up especially for the purpose, the company of Mollies ranging themselves in an appreciative circle to see Frazer demolish the plucky little fellow, who, though plucky, was far outclassed in height and weight. In the first round the big bruiser caught the detective under with a swinging the ear and knocked him down, while the Irishmen applauded. But the battle w"as not over yet, for McKenna's blood was upland he was a hard hitter, his arm being nerved by the consciousness that, much depended upon his victory. Six times in succession he floored the bully of Pottsville, and the seventh time Frazer fell heavily on his face and failed to get up again. McKenna immediately became a hero. At the end of several months of jourrieyings the detective was in a position to inform his superior of the full strength and detailed workings of the order. He learned the number of Mollie Maguires in the five counties had been much exaggerated in the popular mind, through fear, and that there were not really more than 3,000 or 4,000 men active mem bers of the organization, whereas it had been reported through the otate that there were ten times that many. McKenna saw? however, that it was Impossible to exaggerate the desperate character of these men, who wore for the most part ignorant brutes, capable of any crime. As to the organization of the order he found that each county was governed by an all powerful Molly called a county delegate, his territory being divided into districts or patches, each under a body"' master: or chief officer, who gave out the sigfms and passwords to trusted members, and ordered the execution of crimes that had been decided upon. If any superintendent dared to re fuse the request of a body master, to hire or discharge any man; with or without reason, that superintendent's life was as good as forfeited. Bosses at collieries were in the same way constrained to give Mollies the best jobs that is, the easiest and in case of their failure to do so they were promptly made an example of with clubs or revolvers. The Shenandoah firemen were giv ing a banquet in a public hall, and Gomer James was serving as barten right-hand- er tat . i der, says McClure's Magazine. A lit tle before midnight, when the gayety was at its height, Thomas Hurley left his mother, who was sitting on a bench near the bar, and going up to James ordered a glass of beer. James served him promptly, whereupon Hur-ey threw down a nickel, and lifting he glass in his left hand pretended to drain it But he held a pistol, ready cocked, in the right-han- d pocket of his sack coat, and, while the glass was at his hps, he pulled the trigger.
