CHAPTER III.
WATERLOO OUR riUUT, II 18 TICTORT.
--lIIK sports were over, and thert
g I remained still nn hour to be
flllod In before dinner. It
whs an bour full of danger
to Craig's hopes of victory, for the inen
were wild with excitement and ready
for tbe most reckless means of "sling
Ing tbetr dust" I could not but ad
mire tbe skill with wblcb Mr. Craig
caught their attention.
"Gentlemen," be cnlled out, "we're
forgotten the judge of tbe great race.
Three cheera for Mr. Connor!"
Two of the shanty men picked me
up and hoisted me on to their shoulders
while the cheers were given.
"Announce the Punch and Judy,"
he'entreated me ju a lew vole.
I did so In a. little speech and was
forthwith borne aloft through tbe street
to tbe booth, followed by the whole
crowd, cheering like mad.
The excitement of the crowd caught
rue, and for an hour I squeaked and
.worked tbe wires of the Immortal and
unhappy family in a msnasr hltberte
nnapproacbed, by me at least I was
glad enough when Graeme came to tat
me to send the men In te dinner. Tbla
Mr. Punch did In the meet gradeus
manner, and again with cheers for Mr.
Punch's master they trooped tumuKu

and wonld lak yon and U'aleu Graeme

I sent him for Graeme, who was pre
siding at dinner, and act off for 81a Tin's
st a run. There I found Mr. Craig and
Nelson holding Sandy, more than half
drunk, beck from Slavln, who, stripped
to the ahirt, was coelly .waiting wlU a
taunting smile.
"Let me go. Mr. Craig," Sandy was
saying. "I am a good Presbyterian. He

staggered htm and before be fen took
a step forward and dellTered a terrlle

dy went down in a beap amid the yella
of Blaney, Keefe and some ethers at
the gang.
I was in despair when in came Bap
tlate and Graeme.
One look at Sandy, and Baptists tors
elf his coat and cap. slammed them en
tbe floor, danced on them and with
long drawn "Sap-r-r-r-rler rushed at
Slavln.
But Graeme caught him by tha back
ef ths neck, saying, "Hold on. little
man," and. turning to Slavln, pointed
to Sandy, who waa reviving under
Nelson's care, and said, -What's this
forr
"Ask blm.
"He knowa."
said Slavln insolently.
"What Is It Nelsonr
Nelson explained that Sandy, after
drinking some at the stable end a glsss
st the Black Rock hotel, had come
down here with Keefe and the others,
bad lost his money and was accusing
Slavln of robbing him.
"Did you furnish him with liquor?" 1
said Graeme sternly.
plied Slavln, with an oath.
"I ahall make It my business. It la
not the first time my men have lost
money in this saloon."
"You lie!" said Slavln, with deliber
ate emphasis.
"Slavln," said Graeme quietly, "it Is
a pity you said that because, unless
you apologize in one minute, I shall
make you sorry."
"Apologize?" roared Slavln. "Apolo
gize to you?" calling blm a vile name.
Graeme grew white and said, even
more slowly:
"Now you'll have to take K. No apol
ogy will do."
He slowly stripped oft coat and vest.
Mr. Craig interposed, begging
Graeme to let the U'lttcr pass.
' "Surely It is not worth it"
"Mr. Craig," said Graeme, with an
easy smile, "you don't understand. No
man can call me that name and walk
around afterward feeling well."
Then, turning to Slavln, be said:
"Now, if you want a mluute'a rest I
can wait."
Slavln, with a curse, bid him come.
"Blaney," said Graeme aharply, "you
get back." Blaney promptly atepped
back to Keefe's side. "Nelson, you and
Baptlste can see that they atay there."
Tbe old man nodded and looked at
Craig, who simply said:
"Do the best you can."
It was a good fight Slavln had plen
ty of pluck and for a time forced ths
fighting, Graeme guarding easily and
tapping him aggravatlngly about the
nose end eyes, drawing blood, but not
disabling him. Gradually there came
a look of fear Into Slarln's eyes, and
ths beads stood upon bis face. He had
met his master. .. u
' "Now, Slavln, you're beglnnlnr to be
sorry, snd I am going to shew you
what you are made of."
Graeme made one or two lightning
passes, atruck Slavln ene, two, three
terrifle blows snd laid him quits flat
and senseless.
Keefe snd Blaney both sprang for
ward, but there was a savage kind sf
growt
"Hold, there.- It was old man Nel
son, looking along a pistol barrel. "You
know me, Keefe," be said. "Tea woa't
do any murder this time.
Keefs turned green and yellow and
staggered back, while fllavla slowly
rose te his feet
"Will you take eome moreT" said
Graeme. "Yen haven't got much; but

looked into bet eyes I forgot every
thing about me, and when I recalled
myself it seemed ss If I hsd been away

looked into them, and they were not

their depths see a glowing, steady
light Aa I went to get some drugs
from the Black Rock doctor I found
myself wondering about that far down
light aud about her voice how it could
j get that sound from far away.
I I found the doctor quite drunk, as in
deed Mr. Craig had warned, but his
drugs were good, end I got what I
wanted and quickly returned.
While Graeme slept Mrs. Mavor
made me tea. Aa the evening wore on
I told her tbe events of the day, dwell
ing admiringly upon Craig's general
ship. She amlled at this.
"He got me, too," she said. "Nixon
waa aent to me Just before the sports,
and I don't think he will break down
today, and I am so thankful." And her
eyea glowed.
"I am quite sure he won't," I thought
to myself, but I said no word.
After a long pause sbe went on, "I
have promised Mr. Craig to sing to
night If I am needed," and then, after
a moment's hesitation, "It Is two years
since I have been able to sing two
years," she repeated "since," and then
her brave voice trembled, "my buaband
waa killed."
"I quite understand," I said, having
no other word on my tongue.
"And," she went on quietly, "I fear X
have been selfish. It Is bard to sing
the same songs. We were very happy.
But tbe miners like fo hear me sing,
snd I think perhaps It helps them to
feel leas lonely snd keeps them from
evil I shall try tonight If I am needed.
Mr. Craig will not ask me unless be
must."
I would have seen every miner and
lumberman in ths place hideously
drunk before I would have naked her
to sing one song while her heart ached.
I wondered at Craig aad said rather
angrily:
"He thinks only of tboss wretched
miners and shanty men of bis."
She looked at tae with wonder la her
eyes and said gently: '

"I will come," aba said simply. She

"He wlU do quite well In Nelson's

At ths end of the first Terse the few

men were weeping quietly, but when
Shs began the words,
"When I remember all

sobs came on every aide from these
tender hearted fellows, snd Shaw quite
lost bis grip. But abe sang steadily on,
tbe tone clearer and sweeter and fuller
at every note, and when tbe sound of
her voice died awsy she stood looking
st the men ss If In wonder that they
should weep. No one moved. Mr. Craig
played softly on and, wandering
through many variations, arrived at
last at
"Jesus, lover of my souL'
As she sang the appealing worda her
face was lifted up, and she saw none
of us, but she must have aeen some
one, for tbe cry In her voice could only
come from one who could see and feel
help cloae at band. On and on went tbe
glorioua voice, searching my soul's
deptba, but when she came to the
words,
"Thou, O Christ art all I want"
she stretched up her arms she had
quite forgotten us; her voice bad borne
her to other worlds and sang with
such a passion of abandon tbat my soul
was ready to surrender anything, ev
erything. Again Mr. Craig wandered on through
his changing chords till again be come
to familiar ground, and tbe voice be
gan In low, thrilling tonea Bernard's
great aong of borne, "Jerusalem, the
Golden."
Every word, with all Its weight of
meaning, came winging to our souls till
we found ourselves gazing afar Into
those stately halls of Zlon, with their
daylight aerene and their Jubilant
throngs. When the singer came to the
last verse, there was a pause. Again
Mr. Craig softly played tbe Interlude,
but stlU there was no voice. I looked
up. Sbe waa very white, and her eyes
were glowing with their deep llht Mr.
Craig looked quickly about, saw ber,
stopped and half rose, as if to go to
her, when, In a voice that seemed to
come from a faroff land, she went on:
"Oh, sweet and blessed country!"
The longing, tbe yearning, in the sec
ond "Oh" were Indescribable. Again
and again aa abe beld that word and
then dropped down wftb tbe cadence In
the music my heart ached for I knew
not what
Tbe audience were sitting as In a
trance. Tbe grimy faces of tbe miners,
for they never get qalte wthlte, were
furrowed with tbe tear courses. Shsw
by this time bad bis face, too, lifted
high, bis eyes casing far above the
singer's bead, and I knew by tbe rap
ture In his face that be waa seeing, ss
shaf saw, the thronging, stately balls
and tbe white robed conquerors. He
bad felt and was still feeling all the
stress of the light and to him tbe
vision of tbe conquerors In their glory
waa soul drawing and soul stirring.
And Nixon, ton-he bad his vision, but
what be saw was the face of tbe singer
with the shining eyes, snd, by the look
of bim, that was vision enosigh.
Immediately after ber last note Mrs.
Mavor stretched out ber hands to her
little girl, who was sitting on my knee,
caught her up and, holding ber close to
ber breast walked quickly behind the
curtain. Not a sound followed tbe
singing. Mo one moved tin sbe had dis
appeared, and then Mr. Craig came to
the front and, motioning to me te fol

Craig raised high his bsnd Shaw, Nix
oo and a hundred men sprang to their
feet and held high their bands.
I have witnessed some thrilling scenes
in my life, but never nnythlng to equal
that tbe one man on tbe platform
standing at full height with his hand
thrown up to heaven, and the hundred
men below standing straight with
arms up st full length, silent snd al
most motionless.
For a moment Craig beld them so,
and sgaln bis voice rang out louder,
sterner than before:
"All who mean it say, 'By God's belp,
XwlH.'"
And back fron a hundred throats
earns deep snd strong tbe words, "By
God'a belp, I will."
At this point Mrs. Mavor, whom I
bad quits forgotten, put ber band on.

"Mrs. Mavor wlahes me to ssy that
ene win be glad to see you all, as In the
aid days, on Thursday evening, snd I
can think of no better place to give
formal expression to our pledge of this
night"
There was a shout of acceptance, and
then, at some one's Call, the long pent
up feelings of the crowd found vent
in three mighty cheers for Mrs. Mavor.
"Now for our old hymn," called ont
Mr. Craig, "and Mrs. Mavor will lead
aa."
Hs sat down at the organ, played a
few bars of "The Sweet By and By "
snd then Mrs. Mavor began. But not
a soul Joined till tbe refrain waa reach
ed, and then they sang aa only men
with their hearts on fire can slug. But
after the last refrain Mr. Craig made,
a algn to Mrs. Mavor, and she sang
alone, alowly and softly and with eyes
looking far away:
"In the sweet by and by
Wa shall meet on that beautiful shore."
There was no benediction there
seemed no need and the men went
quietly out But over and over again
tbe voice kept singing In my ears and
in my heart "We shall meet on that
beautiful shore." And after the sleigh
loads of men bad gone and left the
street empty, as I stood with Crnlg In
the radiant moonlight that made the
great mountains about come nenr us,
from 8undy's sleigh we heard In the
distance Bnpt lute's French-English
song, but tbe aong thnt floated down
with the sound of tho bells from tbe
miners' sleigh was:
"We shall meet on that beautiful shore."
"Poor old Slinw!" km Id Crnlg softly.
When the Inst sound bud died away,
I turned to liiiu nml said:
"You have won jour tight."
"We hnve won our flght. I was
beaten," lie replied quickly, offering Lie
his hand. Then, taking off his cap
and looking up beyond the mountain
tops and the silent stars, be added
softly. "Our flght, but bis victory."

lest pan or box at a time; but should
the hen wish to lay before the squab
are old enough to leave the nest, .
Mher nest may be placed in the op.
posite corner. It would be better to
have the apartments two and a bailor
even three feet long where two tn
boxea are to be used.
The illustration shows the top row
of nest boxee In position, also ont of
the shelves removed in the second row.
PIGEON NEST CABINET,
rhe bottom row of nests is raised
from the floor by a base-board two
inches wide, this allows a space for th
end cleats on which the bottom shelves
rest
The cabinet here illustrated is made
for 20 paira of birds. Two auch cab
inets, one on each side of a room tea
by twelve feet, would comfortably ac
commodate 30 to 35 pairs, allowing s
few nests for birds that may claim two
sections.
Only the upright partitions arc made
secure to the building. The top and
shelves should not be fastened, and
may easily be moved when cteaalng-out
tuns comes. One point mustbcTcxec
bercd, no nest cabinet should be built
mere than five nests high, and where
one la not cramped for room four neits
high would be better.
The top of the cabinet makes a good
reating place for birda not on the neat,
and no other perches are needed. In
nearly every pen there will be a pair or
two that will peraist in building on top
of the cabinet, and, If they are to be
humored, the attendant ahould give
them a nest pan or box, for in most
cases they will succeed in raising a
good pais of squabs. Farm Journal.

Aa soon in spring aa the weather
permits the bottom boards of the hives
should be scraped and cleaned of the
cappinga and filth which have accumu
lated during the winter. If the bottom
boards are detachable, and I always
prefer to bave them so, the work i
easily performed, writes F.O. Herman,
in tha New England Homested. After
being cleaned stand them in tbe sun
for a few minutes to dry. It will make
