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.

Poor Baa 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.

Aa she bowed slightly her eyes look ed Into mine with a serious gaze, not inquiring, yet searching my souL As I looked into bet eyes I forgot every thing about me, and when I recalled myself it seemed ss If I hsd been away in some far place. It was not their col or or their brightness. I do not yet I know their color, snd I have often looked into them, and they were not I bright but they were clear, and one j could look far down into them and In 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: ' "And are they act Christ's toor r And I found no word to reply. 1 Jt wss Bearing 10 s'dock and TWal wondering how ths fight was going oa aad hoping that Mrs. Maver would sot be needed when the door opened and , aid maa Nelson and Bandy, the tatter mach battered and ashamed, came In with the word for Mrs. Mavor.

"Then I am glad, for I must take my little one with me. I did not pat her ta bed In caae I should seed to go, and 1 may net leave her."

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 low Mrs. Mavor, began in a low, dial Unct voice: ;; "Gentlemen, it was act easy for Mrs. Msvor to sing for us, aad yon know sbe sang because she Is a miner's wife aad ber heart is with the aateers. .

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. mtm mm .

He held up hla band for silence. "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."

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.
