r CHAPTER VIL — Couthtded
The doctor wan one of the Tew men
who at that time In the troubled dis-
trict could consistently and honorably
remain neutral still he had his sym-
' pathies which he expressed on occa-
sions to the proper persons
When Darcie ashed for the latest
' - news from the seat of war he replied
that he had had only conflicting ru-
mors since the night before but he
expected that when news did come it
would be bad and be epoke of the
guarded barricades on the one side
and on tha other the armed intimi-
date rs pouring into Gem filled with
-oath and whisky and truculence
"And where ia my father doctor?”
Faith inquired
i "Mr Bingham ia understood to be a
non-combatant like myself the union
- bosses bare nothing against him”
"It would be more to his credit per-
haps if they had” thought Faith
"And Abby?” said ahe “I suppo I
need not be anxious about Abby?”
" 'Bred and bawn in a brier-pstohi’ ”
laughed the doctor "Abby’a in her ele-
ment ahe baa a friend behind every
union gun She could -go through— I
beg your pardon— through Bndea on
the strength of her connectlone”
When Faith had left the room to
fetch the warm water and the sponges
and a few more artlclea which the doc-
tor required be freed hia mind with a
great oath: ' ’ -
“The old man ia a beast and a coward
- to boot He’a gone on a monstrous
spree and I think it’s deliberate in
case he should be bauied up for aiding
and abetting this' nice work that'a go-
ing pn There were not 11 men out of
800 answered to the pay-roll this morn-
ing they are on duty elsewhere He
grants to be able to prove an alibi In
the person of the devil of drink that's
in him He is afraid of hia union
friends now because they ore op top
and they stick at - nothing but he
know their time is short he has an
eye to windward”
"And what will become of her?”
"God knows She is worse than fa-
therless She cannot stay yet she qan-
not go Here’s a knot for somebody to
untie perhaps a lover I have thanked
- the Lord that my wife is in Spokane
but 1 could almost wish for that poor
child's sake that ahe were here then
I could be a futher to her myself— till
we bear from the lover And speaking
- of Spokane” the doctor continued
"there’s a lawyer down there who has
been telegraphing at a great rate to
know if Jack Dacey reported shot at
tha -Big Horn mine la John Darcie
Says your friends are worried about
you”
“My friends — what friends?”
"Your folks in England He says
there will be the devil to pay if Dacey
ia Darcie Says you're a great deal big-
ger man than we take you for in the
Coeur d'Alene” v
“I wish you would wire him to keep
' quiet” said Darcie “Tell him to cable
my people that I’m all right and then
to hold bis pence” - — v
“Who are you 'nnybow Darcie?
What racket ar you working? You
may aa well trust me the doctor
knows everything and says nothing
you know" - -
“I’m John Daroie half owner of the
Black Dwarf and partner of Mike Mc-
Gowan” t i '
“Anything else?” -“Nothing
else wftrth mentioning” -“It
is sometimes safest to mention
things In times like these to the right
person" -
“Very true doctor I will mention a
few things that I am not I’m not a
Pinkerton detective I’m not a reporter
for tha press I’ve not run away from
my regiment I’ve not hypothecated
bonds I’m not raising funds for an
Irish rebellion I’m not the murderer
of Dr Cronin i and I’m not anybody's
lost heir And I'm going to get out
of these Coeur d'Alenes as soon as I
can get a bond on the one thing here
that I want”
"Which property la that may I ask?” I
"You may ask but I shall not tell
you"
"You are a Scotchman plain enough
by tho way you answer questions”
"1 need not osk what you are doc-
tor by tba way you ask them but 1
take your Intention”
"You had much batter take my ad-
vice' -and tell me what Sort of lay-out
you are on What's your game? Wbat
are trumps — spades or hearts? Are
you making a ‘heart solo? ”
"Whet’s- a ’heart solo? "
"Ah you don't know the great Idaho
game— the greatest gams out! 'Better
camp with ua five years or so and learn
tha rudiments There are points in solo
that 1 can't do justice to In a phrase
but for a snap-shot a 'heart aolo is
w£trs hearts are trumps and you play
the crowd for three times your loss
if you lose and tba same If yon win
Tha Idea ia you are pretty deep In
and if you don't make H and tha
widow goes back on yon youra apt
tq leave your dead and wounded on the
field"
"There is no wtdow' in mine" said
Darcie “unless it's the 'widow at Wind-
sor' but not all the 'sons of the widow'
nor all the 'goods in 'er shop' can help
me if I don't ‘make it' aa you say"
"I believe it is a 'heart solo' ” said
the doctor "you needn't mind confid-
ing in me I've been married only n
year" ' 1
"There is a thing I Should like to con-
fide to yon on tho spot and that' a
letter doctor 1 wish you'd mail it
to this busybody lawyer to forward for
me It's important if you please"
"With pleasure mail it with my own
hands” said the doctor
"That’s what I mean Where Is that
Chineboy? He will get it and I ahall
be eternally obliged when the thing
ia gone"
Faith returning said that Wan won
habitually invisible at that hour it be-
ing the time when he retired to com-
mune with himself and to compose his
nerves with eplpe of the soothing drug
But anything that waa wanted ahe her-
self would be most happy to get for him
"In the top drawer of the cblffonnler
in my room is a brown leather letter-
case Will you be ao good as to fetch
it? I am asking the doctor to mall
a letter for me"
Faith brought the letter-case and
the letter containing Darcie'a resigna-
tion which he had written but had not
mailed was confided to the doctor’s
care
“There waa another letter” said Dar-
cie breathing deeply “1 do not aee
it here Do you know who it was gave
out my clothes to be cleaned ?”
“It was I” said Faith "Was the
other letter in that case?”
“It' was” said Darcie “Would you
mind taking another look for it in the
drawer? It is a thick letter in long
blue envelope unsealed”
' Aa Faith left the room Darcie’a head
sank back on the chair-cushions He
was white to the lips
“What’s the matter now?” asked the
doctor “Is that letter so important?”
“Very important — that it should be
burned” said Darcie “It’s tbe mis-
take of my life that I didn't burn it”
“Perhaps it will be found” said the
doctor
But Faith returned without the let-
ter When she saw Darcle’s white face
against the chair-back and bis quiver-
ing nostrils and closed eyelids she
looked reproachfully at the doctor as
If asking what be had been doing to the
patient in her absence

THE LETTER
Abby'a object in following Mr Bing-
ham to Gem was to be first with tbe
story of the shooting on Tuesday night
and to tell it in her own way She
bad found him in a very fit state to
accept her version of the awkward facts
That half of Mr Bingham’s brain which
operated his being when be waa emerg-
ing from the delirium of drink received
the distorted tale and took a coarse
sullen satisfaction in conceiving that
possibly it might be true He pur-
posed to treat it as the truth as Abby
had given it to him it suited him in
several ways to do so For one reason
it helped him to a sort of apology for
himself in his conscious betrayal of
his daughter to be able to construct a
countercharge against the girl herself
He had been bored by her face of inno-
cence now be oould confront those
blue astonished eyes with questions as
searching as their own
Tbe manager had returned to the
mine with his temper at sixes and sev-
ens and himself in a general state of
disrepair Faith had been summoned
to speak with him in the library a de-
mand which very much surprised her
for she was the last one he yearned
to see as a rule "after one of his tempor-
ary evanlahments from the affairs of
men
Abby with her bangs more maenad-
like than ever was seated rocking her-
self both feet leaving the floor at once
She looked hard at Fglth es-sbe entered
the room but did not rl8e or cease rocking-
Mr Bingham languidly rose and
placed a chair for hia daughter she
could not look him la the face hia ap-
pearance was so deplorable
“Sit down Faith” be requested for
the girl had remained proudly standing
“1 thought you wished to see me only
for a moment I am not very well” she
said i
“I am sorry you are not well” said
her father “I feel pretty rocky my
elf Sit down Ah— Abby I have some-
thing I wish to aay to Mias Bingham I
will see you after awhile— about "the
dinner you know”
- Abby seemed half disposed to resent
this intimation that her company waa
not desired but apparently thinking it
not worth while she rose and left the
room Her chair continued to oscillate
for some seconds with the parting re-
pulpion communicated to It by her re-
treating form
Faith raised her reluctant eyea to her
father's faoe
Mr -Bingham began bnrriedly ia I
qaeraloas key clearing bis throat and
tapping tbe buttons of bis vest with his
gold-rimmed eyeglasses
“It does not become you Faith under
tha circumstances to be so excessively
on your dignity a little more respect
for yourself la more Important ways
and -these little forms would not matter
I am afraid you have bad a very artifi-
cial training Upon my word I don't
know how a man is to bring np his
daughters or whom he can trust them
with 1 thought that your aunts had
made at least a good girl of you”
“Father If there la anything you ha va
to find fault with me about please don't
do It through my aunts If I have dis-
appointed yon It’a not their fault”
"No you are right It’s not their fault
any more than it is mine Wa have all
been deceived But I say it's enough
to shake e man's faith la the daylight I
Why I thought that you were pride and
innocence itself"
Faith replied with a aad little laught
"la It my pride or my Innocence that’s
In doubt?”
"Bless me bless me I did not think
you could be ao hard I must be plain
then You cannot be ignorant of tbe
critical situation we arc in: a war be-
tween capital and labor aeems inevit-
able I have serious responsibilities on
both sides and friends I hope on both
sides Bat it's imperative 1 should know
who are my friends and whom I can
trust' A man would naturally think
that he might trust hia own child"
Mr Bingham paused but Faith simply
looked at him in pale-faced astonish-
ment "How do yon suppose I feel
when I discover that 1 am harborings
spy and that I owe his presence in my
house to the— connivance and sympa-
thy of my daughter?”
"A tpyl" Faith repeated “A spy on
whom? If there Is such a person in
this honsa I did not know it”
"Yon did not know it? And yon can
face me down with that innocent look!
Are yon acquainted with Mr John
Darcie as he ealls himself?"
The pink rose of consciousness in the
girl’s cheek flamed into a red rose of
anger' "Have yon any reason to sup-
pose that- be la not what he calls him-
self?” abe asked
“I have his own signature to prove
that he is not I will show it to yon
presently He is a cowardly detective
sen-t over here by the faction in London
that is trying to down me and discredit
my management He aneaked in here
apd hat been doing the scavenger on the
sly for months raking up lies and dirty ’
gossip listening to every sorehead
that nurses a grudge against me or tbe
mine He has been carrying tbe stuff
around with' him waiting for a chonoe
to send it off— his letters and reports
and so and so on — to his backers in Lon-
don He sends them under cover to n
shyster lawyer hi Spokane who is in
with him I say la this the man my
daughter gives secret meetings to in
places where no young girl who valued
her good name would be seen alone
with a stranger at twelve o’clock at
night?”
“Do you wish me to think that you
believe this father?” asked Faith with
the look of the lamb when the wolf ac-
cused it of roiling the stream
“Think that I believe it! Do you deny
that you were there — in tbe tamaracks
on Tuesday night with Darcie the man
I am speaking of?
“I was there — yes — to prevent mur-
der You know it la in all tbe papers
that a man was shot here in cold
blood by our own men for some of-
fense against their miners' union”
“We are not talking of wbat is in tbe
papers I am taikingof something that
was not In the papers most fortunate-
ly for us What was this man doing
here on my premises without business
witb me or with any of my employe?
What was the occasion the inducement
that brought him five miles after dark
through the woods to a place where
there was nothing to see or do or
learn except by secret appointment
with some other person ? What was he
there for? Do you know?”'
“Because somebody sent him a false
message I believe"
“In whose name?"
“In my name O father please let me
tell you all I”
“You are telling me a good deal I
think And why should a message be
Bent to this young man In your name?
Waa that the surest way to bring him ?”
“Father you must ask those who
sent the message I did not send it"
“You seem to know a good deal about
it considering that you did no send
it How did you learn the hour and
the place of meeting so accurately?”
“I cannot tell you how I learned it
you will have to trust me for that”
“Did you happen to leara the words
of the message?”
“I did not father — I mean— not at
first"
" ‘Not at first What am I to under-
stand by that? 'Let me repeat the
words perhaps you may recognize
them” ’
“Oh don’t repeat them! The whole
thing is frightful How can I talk to
you at all when you begin by accus-
ing me of such things?”
“It is certainly not very pleasant for
mo to pursue this kind of an Investiga-
tion but we may as well go through
with it for your own sake the thing
’must be cleared up Abby tells me that
she took that message herself pro-
clsley in your langunge because you
were unwilling to trust it on paper —
naming tbe place and the time of the
meeting and in case there should be
a doubt la the young man’s mind that
the message was genuine you added
these words ’Tell him it comes from
her he called hia Mountain Lily’ Faith
I don't wonder that you cover your
face!"
Faith Instantly raised her head “I
deny that I sent that message or any
message” she uttered with white lips
“If Abby says tbst I did you will have
to choose between the word of a serv-
ant and the word of your daughter"
“Don't get excited” satd Mr Bing-
ham “I will have this thing decided on
no one's"’ word but your own and bis
Do you deny that those words you have
just beard me repeat were the words
of that message?”
-“I do not I deny that they were my
words or that I ever used them”
“It scarcely matters whose words
they are but I should like fo know bow
they came to be so effectual for tho
purpose They certainty brought that
young man— where he got not wbat be
came for evidently but wbat he richly
deserved Whoever sent it tbe mes-
sage acted like a charm How do you
explain that?”
-“I am not bound to explain it 1 am
not responsible for bis coming”
“Well I should like to know who this
‘Mountain Lily is that meets young
men in woods alone at dark hours of
tha night”
“Father 1 will tell yon all I know”
said Faith trembling and deadly white
for now she could not doubt with wbat
merciless constructions aha had to
deal
“He did call me by that name once
father It was when we abused his hos-
pitality and I waa left on his bands
Slone — yea in the dark hours of the
night It won then when my father
failed me when he was father and
friend and brother to mo that hia heart
went out to me his pity made him ten-
der toward me end he said those words
How they got abroad to be turned to
this wicked and shameful use "I Can-
not tell you and I do not care But if
they had been the means of bringing
him to hia death he would have been
the last man— yes as he is the first —
to say such words to me” "
“And do you think that you know the
character of this man?” ‘
“How should 1 know bis character?
Do I know my own? I know what my
futher professes to think I am and to
whom he goes for his information A
stranger could hardly expect to fare
better than a daughter If 1 am — what
you say I am 1 need not be surprised
that he ahould turn out to be a spy”
“Be careful Faith 1 have given you
in my own mind the benefit of n last
doubt awaiting your acknowledgment
of this man's true character But if you
insist on siding witb him— well yon
must expect to be judged witb him
Here are the proofs of what he is in
his own words”

FRANKLIN'S MORAL CODE
Some Bits of the Philosophy of the
Greatest All-Round American
The professor wa having a few pleas-
ant and instructive moments with his
class outside of tbe field of the text-
book just as every good teacher ought
to do if he does not He bad knocked
around in many localities and hod
touched upon many subjects coming
back at last to the homely and plain
“How many of you” be inquired
“ever beard of Benjamin Fracklin?”
All bands went up
“How many of you know that he
sleeps in a neglected grave In a ceme-
tery in tbe very heart of Philadelphia ?”
All bands went up
“How many of you know that he was
the greatest philosopher America has
produced?”
All hands went up'
“How many of you know tbe moral
code which he formulated and kept for
hia guide to action banding it down to
posterity in clear aad succinct form?”
No hands went up
' Get out your pencils then” said the
professor pleasantly “and write it
down in paragraphs as I call it off
to you from memory for I find It an
excellent thing to know as' one knows
a road leading to a good place It runs
as follows: —
“ Temperance — Eat not to fullness
drink not to elevation
“ ’Silence — Speak not but wbat may
benefit others or yourself avoid trifling
conversations’
“’Order— Let all your things have
their places let eoch part of your busi-
ness have Its time
“ ‘Resolution — Resolve to perform
wbat you ought perform without fail
what you resolve’
“ ’Frugality — Make no expense but
do good to others as yourself that is
waste nothing’
" ‘Industry — Lose no time be always
employed in something useful but
avoid all unnecessary actions'
“ ’Sincerity — Use no hurtful deceit
think innocently and justly and if you
speak speak accordingly
“ ’Justice — Wrong no one by doing in-
juries or omitting the benefits that are
yourfluty'
“Moderation — Avoid extremes for-
bear resenting injuries'
“ ’Cleanliness — Suffer no uncleanli-
ness in body clothes or habitation
I “ ’Tranquillity — Be not disturbed
about trifles or at accidents common
or unavoidable’
“ ’Humility — Imitate Jesus Christ'
“There” said the professor “how
many of you think that is a good code of
morals?”

Embroidery
Fancy work to bold Its devotes at
this seasen must assume a decidedly
light sad facile character and nothing
apparently fits In better than the “re-

of to-day would hardly be recognised
by our great-grandmothers as sueb
Io plsee of tbe laborious processes
with which they seeured rather stilt-
ed results we have installed an ex-
peditious method of which the Delin-
eator baa the following to say:
Now a far more reallstie and ar-
tistic effect is gained by threading the
very narrow ribbons made for tbe pur-
pose in a needle witb a long eye suf-
ficiently large to carry tbe ribbon
through the material easily Tbe work
Is proceeded with exactly a in em-
broidery with silk In the usual way
with the difference however that tbe
ribbon fills a given space with re-
markable rapidity imparting a raised
appearance that adds greatly to the
richness of the finished work
It is well known that except In the
hands of a very skilled worker double
roses de - not look well In solid em-
broldeny especially if they be small
The single wild rote therefore Is unl-
Sersally preferred But with ribbon
ork the ease is different for it repre-
tents very charmingly a small double
rose
Crinkled ribbon Is the greatest nov-
elty for thle style of fancy work and it
gives better results for double flowers
than the straight ribbons When em-
ployed It la hard for tbe inexperienced
eye to detect that ribbon has been
used at all for the blossoms appear as

The material for the foundation

PUEBLO POTTERY MAKING
practically every village makes Its own
pottery Tbe work is usually done by
tbe old women who break up aad work
tbe clay mixing it with a small per-
centage of fine sand and a proportion
of pulverised potsherds obtained pref-
erably from some ruin in the vicinity
where bushels of pottery fragments
can be picked up When tbe day has
been put in good condition it is rolled
out into fillets and coiled upon itself
like a rope The base or commence-
ment of tbe coil is placed in one of tbo
flat baskets and the pot remains in thin
basket until it is dry enough to handle
In some antique specimens of pottery
obtained from ruins which were exhib-
ited at the time of Coronado’s expedi-
tion and which are the finest speci-
mens of aboriginal pottery so far found
the print of tbe basket in wblcb tbe
jars were molded can still be seen upon
tbeir bottom
Ordinarily no such marks are to be
found As the coils of day are laid on
they are pinched together with the
finger and thumb and tbe surfaces in-
terior and exterior are rubbed smooth
Wonderful uniformity of thickness
seldom exceeding an eighth of an inch
even in a large piece is obtained in this
very aprlmitive way r
SIT OR TRE FLOOR
Fimom English Physician Declare
This Poeltlan to Be a Hataral

An eminent English physician Sir
James Crichton Browne who has won-
derful aptitude for making medical
subjects Interesting to tbe publlo at
large announces that men and women
would derive great benefit from sitting
on tbe floor instead of chairs Women
would benefit even more than men by
tbe practice
The position of sitting on the floot
or the ground is more natural than
that of sitting on a chair It was once
general witb the entire human race
It is both bealtby and natural
Tbe exercise of getting up from and
down to the floor is btneficiaL
Through the general adoption of the
sitting position among the civilized
races jnngy muscles have become stiff
or obsolete Persons who ait on tbe

In tbe English country houses great
attention is paid to tbe arrangement
of the flowers on the dining-table For

vnses are always used and sometimes
nine A set piece occupies the center
of tbe table while the other four or
eight are placed on either ride Some-
times tall vnses alternate with little
ones each holding a single rose and
on other occasions finger glasses set
In old-fashioned silver wine holders are
used A favorite bouquet for ths
library is made of the beautiful red
poppies mixed with tall grasses
