after the burning heat or rocking storm
the dying day lies beautiful In the ten
der k'ow of the evening, so these days
have lost their weariness and lie bath
ed In a misty glory. The years that
bring us many Ills and that pass so
stormfully over us bear away with
them the ugliness, the weariness, the
pain, that are theirs, but the beauty,
the sweetness, the rest, they leave un
touched, for these nre eternal. As the
mountains, that near at hand stand
Jagged and scarred, in the far distance
reposed In their soft robes of purple
haze, so the rough present fades Into
the past, soft and sweet and beautiful.
I have set myself to recall the pain
and anxiety of those days and nights
.when we waited in fear for the turn
lof the fever, but I can only think of the
patience and gentleness and courage of
her who stood beside me, bearing more
than half my burden. And, while I can
see the face of Leslie Graeme, ghastly
or flushed, a:id hear his low moaning
or the broken words of his delirium, I
think ohiclly of the bright face bending
over him and of the cool, firm, swift
moving hands that soothed and smooth
ed and rested, and the voice, like the
soft song of a bird In the twilight, that
never failed to bring peace.
Mrs. Mavor and I were much togeth
er during those days. I made my home
In Mr. Craig's shack, but most of my
time was spent beside my friend. Wo
did not see much of Craig, for he was
heart deep with the miners, laying
plans for the making of the league tho
following Thursday, and, though ho
shared our anxiety and was ever
ready to relieve us. Lis thought and
his talk had mostly to do with tho
league.
Mrs. Mavor's evenings were given to
the miners, but her afternoons mostly
to Graeme and to me, and then It was
I saw another side of her character.
We would sit in her little dining room,
where the pictures on the walls, tho
quaint old silver and bits of curiously
cut glass all spoke of other nnd dif
ferent days, and thence we would roam
the world of literature and art. Keenly
sensitive to all the good and beautiful
In these, she had her favorites among
the masters, for whom she was ready
to do battle, nnd when her argument.

breath came in a sob, nnd she rose
quickly and passed out without a word.

"I was proud of our mountains that

"Kvery miner lost his heart then nnd
there, but all waited for Abe, the drlv- j
er, to give his verdict before venturing
an opinion. Abe said nothini: until he
had taken a preliminary drink, nnd
then, calling all hands to fill up, ho
lifted his glass high and said solemtily:
" 'Boys, here's to her.'
"Like a Hash every glass was emp
tied, and Abe called out:
" 'Fill her up again, boys; my treat!"
"He was evidently quite worked up.
Then he began, with solemn emphasis:
" 'Boys, you hear me; she's n No. 1,

"Atid for the first time ln his Black
Rock history Abe was stuck for a
word. Some one suggested 'angel.'
" 'Angel!' repeated Abe, with Infinite
contempt. 'Angel be blowed!' I para
phrase here. 'Angels ain't ln the same
month with her. I'd like to see any
blanked angel swing my team around
them curves without a shiver.'
" 'Held the lines herself, Abe?' asked
a miner.
"'That's what,' said Abe, nnd then
he went off Into a fusillade of scientific
profanity expressive of his esteem for
the girl who had swung his team
round tho curves, and the miners nod
ded to each other nnd winked their en
tiro approval of Abe's performance,
for this was his specialty.
"Very decent fellow, Abe, but hl
talk wouldn't print."
Here Craig paused, as If balancing
Abe's virtues and vices.
"Well," I urged, "who Is she?"
"Oh, yes," he said, recalling himself.
"She Is an Edinburgh young lady; met
Lewis Mavor, a young Scotch-Englishman,
in London, wealthy, good family
and all that, but fast and going to
pieces nt home. His people, who own
large shares in these mines here, ns n
last resort send him out here to reform.
Curiously Innocent ideas those old
country people have ot the reforming '
properties of this atmosphere. They
send their young blonds here to re
formhere ln this devil's ramp ground,
where a man's lust Is bis only law and
when, from sheer monotony, n man
must betake himself to the only ex
citement of the place, that offered by
the saloon. Good people In the east
hold tip holy hands of horror nt these
godless miners, but I tell you It's nsk
lng these boys n good deal to keep
straight and clean in a place like this.
I take my excitement ln fighting the
devil nnd doing my work generally,
nnd that gives me enough, but these
poor chaps, hard worked, homeless,
with no break or change God help
them and me!" And his voice sank
low.
"Well," I persisted, "did Mavor re
form?" Again be roused himself.
"Reform? Not exactly. In bIx
months he bad broken through nil re-
utralnt, and, mind you, not the miners'
fault Not a miner helped him down,
It was a Elcht to make angels ween 1
when Mrs. Mavor would come to the
saloon door for her husband. Every
miner would vanish. They could not
look upon her shame, nnd they would
send Mavor forth in charge of Billy
Breen, a queer little chap who had be
longed to the Mavors ln some way In
the old country, and between thwnthey

ent I used to preach my sermons, I
believe, mostly for her but never so
that she could suspect as bravely and
as cheerily as I could, and as she lis

was no touch of pride In her face,
though the courage never died out but

aloud the cause of her misery or wept

men who have lived so lnuj; In the
mountains that they have forsotten
what a baby looks like, who have had
"I"'" ' humanity only in its

saying in her own sweet, frank way:

'would you millil keeping her just a lit

minutes.' And old IUeketU guessed

"1llt 1,1 six months mother and baby
between them transformed Old IJiek-
etts Into Mr. Shaw, fire boss of the
mines, and then, in the evenings, when
she would be singing her baby to
sleep, the little shop would bo full of
miners, listening in dead silence to the
baby songs nnd the English songs and
tho Scotch songs she poured forth
without stint, for she sang more for
them than for her baby. No wonder
they adored her. She was so bright,
so gay, that she brought light with her
when she went into the enmp, into the
pits, for she went down to see the men
work, or into n sick miner's shack,'
and many a man, lonely nnd Blek for
home or wife or bnby or mother, found
in that back room cheer and comfort
and' courage, nnd to many a poor
broken wretch that room became, ns
one miner put It, 'the anteroom to
heaven.' "
Mr. Calg paused, and I waited.
Then he went on slowly:
"For n year and a half that was the
happiest home ln all the world till one
day"
ne put his face In his hands and
shuddered.
"I don't think I can ever forget the
awfnl horror of that bright fall after
non when Old Rlcketts came breath
less to me and gasped, 'Come, for the
J dear Lord's sake!' and I rushed after
nun. Ai ine mom 11 or ine sunn lay
three men dead. One was Lewis Ma
vor. He had gone down to superintend
the rnnrring of a new drift. The to
men, half drunk with Slavln's whisky,
set off a shot prematurely, to their
own and Mavor's destruction. They
were badly burned, but his face was
untouched. A nitner was sponging off
the bloody froth oozing from his lips.
The others were standing about wait
ing for me to speak, but I could find
no w01-1. tnr m? "fart was sick, think-
ing, as they were, of the young moth
er and her baby waiting at home. So
I stood, looking stupidly from one to
the other, trying to find some reason,
coward that I was, why another should
bear the news rather than I, and while
we stood there, looking nt one another
In fear, there broke upon us the sound
of n voice mounting high above the
birch tops, singing:
" 'Will ye no' come back ncaln?
Will ye no' come hack again?
HettiT lo'ed ye eanna be.
Will ye no' come buck again?
"A strange terror seized us. Instinc
tively the men closed up In front of the
body and stood in silence. Nearer nnd
nearer came the elenr, sweet voice,
ringing like a silver bell up the steep:
" 'Sweet the lav'rock'i note and lanf,
TUHln' wildly up the glen.
But ay tae me he sings ae sang,
Will ye no come back again?
"Before the verse was finished Old
Rlcketts had dropped on bis knees,
nobbing out brokenly, 'O God, O God,
have pity, have pity, hnve pity! and
every man took off his hat And still
the voice came nearer, singing so
brightly the refrain:
" 'Will ye no' come back again?"
"It became unbearable. Old Rlcketts
sprang suddenly to bis feet nnd, grip
ping me by the arm. said pitcously:
" 0h, go to her! For heaven's sake,
go to her!'
"I next remember standing in her
path and seeing her holding out her
hands full of red lilies, crying out:
" 'Arc they not lovely? Lewis is so
fond of theniP
"With the promise of much finer ones
I turned ber down a path toward the
river, talking I know not what folly
till ber great eyes grew grave, then
anxious, and my tongue stammered
and became silent Then, laying her
hand upon my arm, she said, with gen
tle sweetness:
"'Tell me your trouble, Mr?. Craig,'
and I knew my agony had come, and 1
burst out:
" 'Oh. if It were only mine?
"She turned quite white, and, with
her deep eyes you've noticed her eyes
ilra wing the truth out of mine, she
said:
" 'Is it mine, Mr. Craig, and my ba
by's T
"I waited, thinking with what words
to begin. She put one band to ber
heart and with the other caught a little
poplar tret that shivered under b

even more gently:
" TeU me.'
1 wondered at my rolce being m
toady as I said:
" 'Mrs. Mavor, God will help yon and
your baby. There has been an acci
dent and It Is all over.'
"She was a miner's wife, and there
was no need for more. I could see the
pattern of the sunlight falling through
the trees u'kui the grass. I could hear
the murmur of the river and the cry of
the catbird In the bushes, but we seem
ed to be in a strange and unreal world,
Suddenly she stretched out her hands
to me and with a little moan said
" 'Take me to him.'
14 'Sit down for a moment or two,' I
entreated.
" 'No, no: I am qnlte ready. See,' she
added quietly; 'I am quite strong.
"I set off by a short cut leading to
her home, hoping the men would be
there ahead of us; but, passing me, she
walked swiftly through the trees, nnd
I followed In fear. As we came near
the main path I heard the sound of
feet, and I tried to stop ber, but she,
too, had heard and knew.
" 'Oh, let me go!' she said piteously.
'You need lutt fear.'
"And I had not the heart to stop her.
In a little opening among the pines we
met the bearers. When the men saw
her, they laid their burden gently down
upon the carpet of yellow pine needles,
and then, for they had the hearts of
true men In them, they went away Into
the bushes and left her alone with the
dead. She went swiftly to bis side,
making no cry: but, kneeling beside
him. she stroked his face and bands
and touched his curls with her lingers.
murmuring all the time soft words of
love.
"'Oh, my darling, my bonny, bonny
darling, speak to me! Will you not
speak to me just one little word? Oh.
my love, my love, my heart's love!
Listen, my darling!'
"And she put her lips to his ear,
whispering, and then the awful still
ness. Suddenly she lifted her head
and scanned his face, and then, glanc
ing round with 11 wild surprise in her
eyes, she cried:
"'He will not speak to me! Oh, he
will not speak to me!'
"I signed to the men, and as they
came forward I went to her and took
her hands.
"'Oh,' she said, with a wall ln her
voice, 'he will not speak to me!'
"The men were sobbing aloud. She
looked at tiiem with wide open eyes
of wonder.
"'Why are they weeping? Will ho
never speak to nie again? Tell mo,'
she Insisted gently.
"The words were running through
my head,
"There's a land that Is fairer than day,
and I said them over to her, holding
ber hands firmly in mine. She gazed
at me ns If in a dream, nnd the light
slowly faded from her eyes as Eho
snld, tearing her hands from mine and
M'aving them toward the mountains
and the woods:
" 'But never more here! Never more
here!'
"I believe In heaven nnd the other
life, but I confess that for a moment it
all seemed shadowy beside the reality,
of this warm, bright world, full of life
and love. She was very ill for two
nights, and when the coinn was closed
a new baby lay in the father's: arms.
"She slowly came back to life, but
there were no more songs. The miners
still come about her shop and talk to
her baby and bring her their sorrows
nnd troubles; but, though she Is al
ways gentle, almost tender, with them,
no man ever says 'Sing.' And that is
why I am glad she sang last week. It
will be good for her and good for
them."
"Why does she stay?" I asked.
"Mavor's people wanted her to go to
them," he replied.
"They have money she told me
about It but her heart Is in the grave
up there under the pines, nnd, besides,
she hopes to do something for the min
ers, nnd she will not leave them."
I am afraid I snorted a little impa
tiently ns I said: "Nonsense! Why,
with her face and manner and voice
she could be anything she liked In
Edinburgh or in London."
"And why Edinburgh or London?"
be asked coolly.
"Why?" I repeated a little hotly.
"You think this is better?"
"Nazareth was good enough for the
Lord of Glory," he answered, with a
smile none too bright, but It drew my
heart to blm, nnd my heat was gone.
"How long will she stay?" I asked.
"Till her work Is done," he replied.
"And when will that be?" I asked
impatiently.
"When God chovjses," he answered
gravely. "And don't you ever think
but that it Is worth while. One value
of work Is not that crowds stare at it
Read history, man!"
He rose abruptly and began to walk
about.
"And don't miss the whole meaning
cf the life that lies at the foundation
of your religion. Yes," be added to
himself, "the work Is worth doing,
worth even her doing."
I could not think so then, but the
light of the after years proved him
wiser than I. A man to see far must
climb to some height, and I was too
much upon the plain In those days to
catch even a glimpse of distant sunlit
uplands of triumphant achievement
that lie beyond the valley of self sac
rifice. TO BE OONTINOED NEXT WKEK.

In the constitution of human af
fairs we are obliged to travel knee
deep and sometimes neck deep along
the moral roads of life; and since it
seems impossible to get macadam for
these roads, it does seem that the
organization of society and govern

VOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.
If honey Is overheated both color
and transparency is injured.
Keep bees to make your own
howey. Begin with a few hive a.
Strong colonies protect themselves
against robbers and bee moths.
It is-quite an item to breed the
hive full of bees just before winter.
Never leave a newly-hived swarm
near the place where it clustered.
Bees generally require about 30
pounds of honey on which to winter.
Thick, well-ripened honey will not
granulate so readily as that which is
thin.
In rendering beeswax use a tin.
brass or copper vessel. An iron one
will darken it.
It is a good plan to do what feed
ing is necessary ut night, bo as not
to excite robbing.
A little pine tnr smeared on a
hoard and put next the hive will
drive nwny nuts.
In making can.ly to feed to bees
be careful not to burn it. Burnt
candy will kill bees.
In cold weal her when bees are
quiet is when they are doing best;
do not disturb them.
There are three personages in the
beehive proper- the queen, the work
er bee and the drone.
Unite week colonies nnd their
stores. They will winter better to
gether than separately.
Besides loosing ils beauty ami fine
appearance, honey kept in a cellar
pets watery and its flavor is lost.
