Bruce lUuiichnrtl stood in my door way ns coolly impudent us when I had parted with him in Ynkimii five yenrs before. I dui not start nor ex claim. I pointed to my match case and V a id quietly, "Toll me about it." He came in on this halfway invi tation and, seating himself on my divan, lighted his cigarette. His tobacco-stained fingers trembled ns of old. I did not Mutter myself it was from emotion rather too many cigarettes. As 1 leaned back in my chair nnd eyed him curiously n picture enme before me a wide, western plain, page-covered nnd somber, the great irrigation canal winding snake-like down through the valley, nnd at its hcadgates the Fmnll settlement that had sprung up from the nucleus of engineers' nnd contractors' camps. On the ground in front of one of the tents stretched the handsome form of a man in catwns clothes. A girl swung lazily in a hammock, reading. Xho man was smoking a cigarette, nnd as hr? smoked ho turned the weed with that peculiar little gesture of his nervous fingers that Uruce I'.lanchnrd now used as he sat smok ing in my studio. The gesture aroused me to the present. I blinked my eyes to dispel the vision, but the central figure staid on nnd the smoke was real. "Tell inc. auont it, Bruce," I said again. "There is nothing to tell, Louise, no color, nothing heroic. 'Twould only borejn hrea'Sot a. new story?" .'In those oufen rlnys,'' when' i'.rtice nnd I had been tAl the world to each I know It, Bruee. "I remember the little girls quite well.

Perhaps, Bruce, there was something in me, after nil, to war runt your devotion to me in camp you engineers, 1 m:an. I nm en gaged to a Mr. Hnvcrknnp, a wealthy patron of the institute, living in Hyde J'ark. He has persuaded me to for sake my undoubted career in the field of art undoubted in his mind and become the light of his life, the gentle guardian of his happiness, and the stewardess of his thousands. Of course it was a great sacrifice, but I consented to make it. He is 50 nnd generous. Beth and Clara are already making preparations to lie In Chicago this winter. It will take a great load off papa's shoulders." I realized I had spoken rapidly. It was a case where I must rush the thing through lest I should stumble in the recitnl. Bruce lighted his third cigarette. He did not speak for some moments. "I suppose," he said, nt length, "you will make more money in this way, and it seems respectable." That was exactly what I was think ing, but I burst out in defense: "You have certainly forgotten the barrenness, the lonliness of those sage brush ranches! You've forgot ten how the dust sifts Into the cor ners nnd crevices of the houses, mak ing every one irritable nnd miserable! You've forgotten the distance from civilization, the discomforts, the pov erty. Yott have forgotten " "I hnve forgotten everything." Bruce interrupted, looking through the tobacco smoke with half closed eyes. "I have forgotten everything but the glorious sun setting behind those low western hills, lighting up the plains with a warm, yellow splen dor. I can see a girl's figure as she stands rapt in the strange mysteries of nature. She is pulsing with life, truth, benuty. She has no designs. She is not calculating. She could not deceive. She is true as the nature of which she is a part. But there! Ye are in Chicago. This marriage takes place when did you say?" I realized I had turned deathly pale. My heart beat wildly. Words came to my lips, but I could not make a sound. Bruce had painted a picture which brought back such a flood of memories as to overpower me. He did not mean to be cruel, but At last I heard myself speaking as from a distance. "The third of September." It was now the last of June. RriiC? took roy last match and left without a word.

I i The overshadowing event in the miners'strike thus far has beeu the decision rendered by Judge Jackson of the United States district court at 'I'arkersburg, W. Ya., in sentencing six t hides-unionists to jail fur violating his injunction order of June l'i. The case is altogether exceptional because jthe sentenced unionists are not appar ently charged with violations of law, nor even with inciting others to viola tions of law, but merely with inciting outeuted workmen to join iu the 'strike, in violation of an order issued by the court. The following extracts indicate the temper and purport of the decision: "While I recognie the right of all laborers to combine for the purpose of protecting all their lawful rights, I do not recognie the right of laborers to conspire together to compel em ployes who are not dissatisfied with their work iu the mines to lay down their picks and shovels and to quit their work without a just or proper reason therefor, merely to gratify a professional set of agitators, organiz ers, and walking delegates, who roam all over the country as agents for some combination, who are vampires that live and fatten on the honest labor of the cot.l miners of tlie country, and who are busybudics creating dissatis faction among a class of people who are quiet und well disposed, and who do not want to be disturbed by the un ceasing agitation of this class of peo ple. "The right of a citizen to labor for wages he is satisfied with is a right protected by law, and he is entitled to the same protection as free speech, and should be better protected than 't he abuse of free speech, in which the organizers and agitators indulge in trying to produce strikes." In case it shall appear that the sen tenced unionists made threats against m 1 r. W., '.T.w''- mh s 'S '. ' c JOHN JAY JACKSON. (West Vlrulnla Jtultrc 'Who Has No Use lor Organized Labor.) miners not joining in the strike, or in cited others to nia'tieat them, or greeted them with insults, the public .judgment of this decision will be sivnsibly modified for all such abuses of free speech are violations of law but at present the "unjudicial" char acter of the language used by Judge Jackson is the subject of almost uni versal comment. To denounce trades union leaders as "vampires" who "live and fatten on honest labor" recalls the rhetoric of the least responsible of labor agitators whom Judge Jack sou would imprison for inciting class hatred. Mr. Mitchell's comment on the decision, which has been published in papers not generally friendly to the trades-unions, reads in part as fol lows: "None of the defendants in this in junction case nor our speakers have violated the law. They were counsel ing miners on their own grounds. They were persuading them to remain out until our demands for a living wage have been granted, and were not intimidating them at all. "The scope of Judge Jackson's de cision cun hardly be realized by those not familiar with the facts. It forbids men to walk on the highways, to talk to non-union men, or to persuade them to strike. It takes from the members of the I'nited Mine Workers the rights till citizens of the United States ure supposed to enjoy. Such decisions tend to destroy the confidence of the work ing people in the impartiality of the courts. "Yc shall appeal to the supreme court of the United States, and shall immediately nsk President Koosevelt to interfere before this outrageous de cision can be put in force." In case the present sentences are sustained, soys the Outlook, it will give new life to the demand, already strong in congress, that the right of federal judges to punish for contempt of court without jury will be limited to offenses committed in the court's presence.
