"Just tako a peek down there now." Through the window John saw that the camp was quietly but surely di ▼ldfng Into two parties. The elder miners were gathered about the cook nhinty. Around the office stood a doaen or so malcontentß half drunk, uader the leadership of Tubbs, who j. Tha Old Cook Offered to Fight Him on Any Terms. was wholly drunk, and on the porch talking to Wilkerson were a couple of Mexicans. "It looks as If they meant to rush the camp," Dorr said thoughtfully. Ha jiroceeded to arm himself, and Everett qirietly followed suit. "Tra going to talk to the boys first" nnld Dorr. He left the bungalow and 'strode off down the hill, followed by the cook. A gun was fired up by th® mine tunnel month. "That's a signal that (he Mexicans lire making trouble!" Kane shouted. "Ijook out for dynamite In the shaft, 'John!" Without a word further Dorr leaped down from the porch of the cook shan ty and started up the hlli, followed by a doien faithful supporters. Other shots were fired. Wilkerson appeared at the tunnel mouth and then vanished Inside. John sprang upon the trestle and rushed after him. Instantly a band of Mexicans mate rialised halfway down the hill, fired a few shots and retreated. John paid no attention to them, but kept on. Once within the tunnel he saw a faint gleam of light ahead of him. He understood that Kane was right, AVil kerson was playing a desperate s«Jiie in blowing up the shaft and then in the ensuing confusion allowing the bandits to loot undisturbed. A few yards farther on John stopped. A dark figure rushed by him toward the open air. But the little glow of light remained. For a moment Dorr hesitated; then he leaped forward and began trying to extinguish a lighted fuse. He had almost succeeded when a bullet whizsed by him; then a second spattered on the rock overhead. Me turned and fired blindly in the direc tion of the shots and resumed his task. The fuse was short, but he succeeded In extinguishing It and started back. He met a fusillade of bullets. Ho dashed on toward the mouth of the tunnel and suddenly emerged on Wii kerson, who, not being able to see into the murk of the shaft, was firing blind ly Into the opening. With a shout John leaped for the man whom he now knew to be seeking hi# life. Before Wiikecson could fire another shot he was caught in a mighty embrace and then began a short sharp struggle high In the air. John Dorr for the first time in his life knew the absolute and terrific j (hirst for killing that sometimes comes to a man. It was either his life or Wilkerson's. And no oue should in terfere with his revenge. He throw himself on the man with but one ob- j Ject in rlew—to slay him bare handed, t Wilkerson fought tigerishly, and for | the moment had the advantage Tho : lofty trestle was an ill place for a ! heavy man like Dorr to fight on. and I the other's agility and lithe quickness I seemed about to win when John by a i sudden unexpected and desperate ma- 1 neuver caught him and threw him clear into the air. breaking his clutch with a terrific blow. Then he jerked ! him to the edge of the trestle and j fiting him over. Standing erect. John drew the air I Into bis tortured lungs and let out a tremendous yell of triumph. Ruth Gallon heard that barbaric yell j nnd shuddered. Tom Kane stared up- j ■ward at the figure on the trestle, and i hi* open mouth seemed llpless, for he, ' too. shared In the moment's blood j Just. And on the rocks below Wilkerson's fieure sprawled grotesquely. Its white j and darkling face turned sightlessly to the sky. CHAPTER XtX. A Manage From tho Grave. HTLKERSONS fall from tho trestle had not been unno ticed b.v his outlaws, and be fore any one in the camp ceutf n&k« guru thai the man. was MONDAY EVENING, * (lend H couple of the Mexicans had quickly slipped down the hill to him. They found him still alive. Without paying any attention to John Dorr's men. who were still doubtful of the outcome of the battle, they dragged their fallen leader away and up into their own temporary camp. It was not long before Wilkerson re riTed. He was terribly bruised and clmoet insane from physical pain and wild rage at his defeat. It was with difficulty that the unsmiling outlaws restrained him. Their chief took upon himself the task of making it plain to Wilkerson that this was no time for rash and unorganized attack. "They have beaten us so far, senor." he said quietly, "and you are very sick. Tonorrow we shall see." The next, morning's sun had scarcely touched the peaks of the mountains when Wilkerson stretched his stiff, eore limbs and began a fresh campaign. He made it clear to the leader of the Mexican outlaws that Ihey must work swiftly. "It won't be long before the news of this fighting gets out and the authori ties take a hand," he said. ' - But if we can Just get this mine into our posses sion in the next three days I can hire you and your men as peaceable work men and %wear that Dorr and his gang are trying to take pur property a way by force. I guess my word will be as good as his." "Very well." agreed the Mexican after thoughtfully considering the mat ter. "We can get back into Mexico in twenty-four hours from here. So long as you pay us and let us—what do you call it—loot, my men are with you." "VYilkerson covertly studied the des perado's impassive visage. Jose Yigas bore a renowned name on the border for daring, shrewdness and wicked ness. He was known as "The Merci less." For five years he had hnd a price set on his head, yet because of the loyalty of his adherents and his own fearlessness he hud escaped. No man better fitted for a sinister purpose could haye been found. Yet mingled with Wllkeraon's satisfaction at having such a tool to his hand was a dread of the man himself, and his calm insistence on the privilege of loot ing the camp when it was captured gave him a sense of nausea. After nil, they were Americans down there lu. tho "Master Key" camp. Through his binoculars he could see Ruth on the porch of the bungalow. Vigas, too. saw her. Ho took no pains to conceal the cruel Interest in bis eyes. The next few days resulted in little advantage to either side. John Dorr could not reopen the mine nor even send in for much needed supplies be cause of the constant menace of the outlaws, who occasionally tired scat tering shots down into the gulch as a warning that they were vigilant. On the other hand, Wllkerson found it impossible to seize the camp with out precipitating a battle, from which he shrank. Deeply Involved as be al ready was In crime, he dreaded to cross the border line which would for ever place him beyond the pale and make him an outlaw. Instead, he used every method to put himself outwardly in the right. He sent plea after plea to the sheriff of the county to come and restore order, asserting that he had been driven from his rightful property by violence ami that the situation was such that, with &£ j \ Ruth on the Porch of the Bungalow. out interference from the authorities, there would be serious trouble and very likely bloodshed. These pleas availed only partially. The sheriff made a trip into tho mine talked with John Dorr and Tom Kano and then sought out Wilkerson. "It looks to me as If this was a case for the courts," lie said slowly when lie had examined WilUerson's forged ileeds. "1 knew r.UI Gallon pretty well, and he thought, a sight of that Ruth girl. Fact W, he told me he intended h«r to have the mine and left it to her In his will.

Morton, .Manager. !SX2o(vier) MmeM?sv& What Is a Good Woman There are good women; there are better women; there are best women. There are comparatively good wo men, positively good women and su perlatively good women; and all these definitions are modified by time, place, climate and temperament. Good women appear in public places and before men here in America with uncovered facea and shoulders; but in Turkey no good woman could do this, because it is not the custom, and would offend. The Kood woman does not offend purposely or wantonly. She submits to the inconveniences and discomforts of tradition until she can see some reasonable prospect of bettering the race by defying the conventions. The comparatively Brood woman lives a harmless life, avoids wound ing any one; and submits to all man ner of injustice at the hands of society because she dislikes to make a fuss or attract attention or disturb existing or ders. The positively good woman lives an actively good life, under the same conditions, putting herself to great trouble to help others and trying to overcome the results of injustice essaying to remove the cause. Superlatively tiood Woman Is One Who Attends to Nearest Duty First The superlatively good woman does jail tills and more. She attends to the nearest duty first—relieves distress and bestows sympathy; but she ts brave enough to attempt an attack on established traditions when they stand in the way of the progress of the hu man race, even though the attacks bring suffering and pain upon herself. Mary Livermore. Julia Ward Howe, Victoria Woodhull, Mott, Su 'san B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stan ton were all superlatively good wo men. Helloed, sensitive and beauti ful souls, they suffered from the bru tality and ignorance of the world when they gave their lives to the destruc tion of moss-grown traditions which had become breeders of pestilence, and undertook the construction ot the great, broad edifice where \voman dwells to-day. The merely good woman does no evil. She keeps ih" Commandments, and is happy in being harmless. The better woman does no evil and strives also to do Kood where it comes in her way. The best woman does no evil, does much Rood and goes out of her. way to inspire and encourage those who have been doing wrong to new aspira tions and endeavors. The good woman never speaks ill HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH of the absent. She is silent when ohers condemn. The better woman speaks well of the absent when it Is possible to do so. The best woman defends the absent, even at the risk of offending those persons who are prone to condemn. The good woman is satisfied with being good. The best woman is continually at work upon her character to make It better. Gmxl Woman May Be Simple and Humble, but l)oos Her Duty The really good woman is a good daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. She may be simple, bumble, uneducated and poor, yet il' she ful fills her duty in all these relations she is the best of women, for they in variably call forth the highest quali ties of human nature, and often de mand self-denial, self-sacrifice and self-control. There are chaste scandal-mongers who are neighborhood assassins— slaying characters with their adder tongues. There are models of virtue who are reckless spendthrifts, wasting hard earned money in needless ways. The good woman knows how to curb her temper, how to be charitable in speech, how to economize her ex penditures. It requires courage, self-control anil unselfishness for a woman to practice common sense economy when sur rounded by extravagance and folly, in the hearf of fashionable society sonic such good women may be found. It requires tho same virtues and faith and trust in God's wisdom add ed for a woman to be cheerful, kind and patient, while her heart starved all her life for the refinements and pleasures of existence; yet many such women are to be found in homes of poverty—good enough, who rejoice in the success and happiness of others while fated to live a life of hard work and loneliness from the cradle to the grave. In shops, factories and kitch ens. there arc good women doing dis tasteful work patiently, and cheerful ly using their earnings for others de pendent upon them. There are good women who stand by had husbands, because tliey be lieve it their duty and because they hope for ultimate reformation. There are good women who leave bad husbands because they realize that, self-respect or the salvation of their children, demand It. Any woroarv who . lives up. to her highest understanding of duty Is a good woman, no matter how others may differ In their ideas of what con stitutes duty. The girl who gives up her ambi tion for an education In order to re main at home and care for aging par ents is a good girl, but another may prove a better girl who pushes ahead and secures her education In order that she may give her parents a more dlsirable homo eventually. The highest unselfishness must sometimes suffer from the miscon struction of the world, which regards it as selfishness. Wo are all a little better or a little worse than we were last year this time; a little stronger or a little weak er: a little wiser or a little duller. There Is no such thing as remain ins stationary. The world turns on its axis—the sun. stars, planets, all re volve. Even tho rocks are composed of millions of ever-moving atoms. So the mind of the mortal is always doing its work and making or unmaking tho character. It is for yon to decide as you ana lyse your own life whether you are (a good woman or not; whether you are as good as you know how to be, and whether you are better this year than you were last.
