"Michael Slavln," began Geordle, and tie men stared In dead silence, wltb their glasses In tbelr hands "Michael Slavln, I promised the lad I'd bear ye nae 111 wall, but Julst leave ye tae tbs 'Almlchty, an' I want tae tell ye that I'm keepln' ma wur-r-d. But," and here he raised bis hand, and bis voice be came preternaturally solemn, "bis bluld Is upon yer ban's. Do ye no see ltr' His voice rose sharply, and as be : pointed Slavln Instinctively glanced at I his bands, and Geordle added: "Aye, an' tbe Lord will require It o ye an' yer boose. They told me that Slavln shivered as If taken wltb ague after Geordle went ' out, and, though be laughed and swore, be did not stop drinking till be sank In a drunken stupor and bad to be car ried to bed. His little French Canadian wife could not understand the change that bad come over her husband. "He's like one bear," she confided to Mrs. Mavor, to whom she was showing her baby of a year old. "He's not kees me one tarn dls day. He's mos bawful bad. He's not even look at de baby." And this seemed sufficient proof that something was seriously wrong, for she went on to say: "He's tink more for dat lee) baby dan for de whole worl'. He's tink more for dat baby dan for me." But she shrug ged ber pretty little shoulders in depre cation of ber speech. "You must pray for him," said Mrs. Mavor, "and all will come right.1 "Ah, madame," she replied earnestly, "every day, every day, I pray la saints VIerge et tous les saints for him' "Xl ouX Tweel pray." And Mrs. Mavor sent her away bright with smiles and wltb new hope and courage 1 In ber heart I She bad very soon need of all ber : courage, for at the week's end ber baby fell dangerously 111. Blavln's anx- i lety and fear were not relieved much : by tbe reports tbe men brought him from time to time of Geordle's ominous forebodings, for Geordle bad no doubt that the Avenger of blood was hot upon Blavln's trail, and as tbe sickness grew be became confirmed in this con vlctlon. While be could not be said to find satisfaction in Blavln's impending affliction, be coold hardly hide bis com placency in tbe promptness of Provi dence in vindicating bis theory of rem button. But Geordle's complacency was some what rudely shocked by Mr. Craig's answer to this theory one day. "Too read your Bible to little profit, It seems to me, Geordle, or perhaps you have never read tbe Master's teaching about tbe tower of Siloam. Better read that and take that warn ing to yourself." Geordle gazed after Mr. Craig as be turned away and muttered: "Tbe toor o' Siloam, Is It? Aye, I ken fine aboot the toor o' Siloam an' a boot tbe toor o' Babel as weel, an' I've read, too, about tbe blaspbeemious Herod an' sic like. Mod, but he's a hot beided laddie an' lacks dlscreemeena- tJon." "What about Herod. Geordle?" I asked. "Aboot Herod T with a strong tinge of contempt In bis tone. "Aboot Herod 1 Mon, bae ye no' read in tbe 8 creep tuns aboot Herod an' tbe wur-r-ms In tbe wame vf him 7" "Ob, yes, I see," I hastened to an swer. "Aye, a fule can see what's flapped In bis face," wltb which bit of pro verbial philosophy be suddenly left me. But Geordle thenceforth content ed himself. In Mr. Craig's presence at least wltb ominous bead shakings, equally aggravating and Impossible to answer. Tbst same night, however, Geordle showed that wltb all bis theories be had a man's true heart, for be came In basts to Mrs. Msvor to say: "Xe'll be needed ower yonder, I'm thin kin'.'' "WbyT Is tbe baby worse? Have yoo been Inr , . "Na, na," replied Geordle cautiously; "III no gang where I'm no wanted, but yon pair thing ye can bear eotatde wet-pin ao' nsoanln.

The Interest of tbe camp ta 81a via w.s neatir increased by tbe ninees 0 bla baby, which was to bios ae the ap ple of bis eye.

He let me go at once, saying In voice that made my heart sore for htm "He has killed my baby; be has kUled my baby." And then be .cursed tbe doctor wltb awful curses and wltb look of such murderous fury on his face that I was glad the doctor wss too drank to appear. His wife, bearing bla curses and un derstanding tbe cause, broke out Into walling bard to bear. "Ah, mon petit angel It is dat whees- ky dat s keel mon baby. Ab, mon cberi, mon amour! Ab, mon Dleu! Ah, Michael I How often I eay that wbees- ky bo's not good ting. It was more than Slavln could bear, and wltb awful curses be passed out Mrs. Mavor laid tbe baby In Its crib, for the convulsion bad passed away, and, putting ber arms about tbe wall, lng little Frenchwoman, comforted and soothed ber as a mother might ber child. "And yon mast help your husband, I beard ber say. "He will need you more than ever. Think of him." "Ah, out, 1 weel, was tbe quick re ply, and from that moment there was no more walling. It seemed no more than a minute tin Slavln came In again, sober, quiet and steady. Tbe passion was all gone from bis face, and only tbe grief remained. Aa we stood leaning over tbe sleeping child the little thing opened its eyes. saw Its father and smiled. It was too much for him. Tbe big man dropped on bis knees with a dry sob. "Is there no chance at all, at all V be whispered, but I could give him no hope. He Immediately rose and, pull ing himself together, stood perfectly quiet A new terror seized upon tbe mother. "My baby Is not-wbat yon call ltr going through tbe form of baptism. 'An' be will not come to la saints VIerge," she said, crossing herself. 'Do not fear for your little one," said Mrs. Mavor, still wltb ber arms aboot ber. "Tbe good Saviour will take your darling Into his own arms." But the mother would not be comfort ed by this, and Slavin, too, was uneasy, "Where Is Father Gouletr be asked. "Ab, you were not good to tbe holy pere de las tarn, Michael," she replied sadly. "Tbe saints are not please for yon. "Where Is tbe priest?" be demanded. "I know not for sure. At de Landln', dat's lak." "I'll go for him." be said. But his wife clung to him, beseeAlng him not to leave ber, and Indeed be was loath to leave bis little one. I found Craig and told him tbe diffi culty. Witb bis usual promptness be was ready wltb a solution. "Nlzon baa a team. He will go.' Then be added: "I wonder If they would not like me to baptize tbelr little one.

Tbe long afternoon wore on, but be fore it was half gone I aaw Nixon could not win and that tbe priest would be too late, so I sent for Mr. Craig. From tbe moment be entered the room he took command of ns all Be was so simple, so. manly, so tender, the hearts of tbe parents Instinctively turned to htm. . As he was about to proceed with the baptistr. tbe mother whispered to Mrs. Mavor, who hesitatingly asked Mr. Craig If he would object to oslng holy water. To me It Is tbe same as any other," be replied gravely. An will be make the good sign 7" aaked the mother timidly. And so tbe child was baptised by the Presbytetiaa minister with holy water and wltb tbe sign of tbe cross. I doa't suppose tt was orthodox, and It render ed chaotic some of my retlgtoos no tions, hot I thought more of Craig that moroent than ever before.

An hour later Nixon brought Father Gonlet He waa a little Frenchman with gentle manners snd the face of a saint Craig welcomed him warmly and told blm what he bad done. "That la good, my brother," be said. with gentle courtesy, and, turning to the mother, "Tour little one is safe." Behind Father Goulet came Nixon softly and gazed down upon the little quiet face, beautiful wltb tbe magic of death. Slavln came quietly and stood beside him. Nixon turned and offered bla band, but Slavln, moving slowly back, said "I did yon a wrong; Nixon, aad If a a sorry man I am this day for It' "Don't say a word, Slavln," answer ed Nixon hurriedly. "I know bow yon feel. I've got a baby too. I want to see It again. That s why the break hurt me so." "As God's above," replied Slavln ear nestly, "111 binder yon no more.' - They shook hands, and we passed out We laid tbe baby nnder tbe pines. not far from Billy Breen, and the sweet spring wind blew through tbe gap and came softly down the valley, whisper ing to tbe pines snd tbe grass and the biding flowers of tbe new life coming to the world. And the mother most bare beard tbe whisper In her heart, for as the priest was saying tbe words of the service she stood with Mrs. Ma vors arms about her, and ber eyei were looking far away beyond the pur ple mountain tope, seeing what made ber smile. And Slavln, too, looked dif ferent His very features seemed finer. The coarseness was gone out of bis face. What bad come to him I coold not telL But wben the doctor came Into Bla vln's bouse that night it was the old Slavln I saw, but with a look of such deadly fury on bla face that I tried to get the doctor oat at once. But he was half drank, and bis manner was hid eously humorous. . "How do, ladles? How do, gentle. men V waa bis load voiced salatafdon. Quite a professional gathering, clergy predominating. Lion and Iamb too! Ha, ha! Which Is tbe lamb, eb? Ha, bal Very good! Awfully sorry to hear of your loss, Mrs. Slsvln. Did our best, yoo know; can't help this sort of thing." Before any one coold more Craig waa at his side and, saying In a clear, firm : voice, "One moment; doctor," caught bim by tbe arm and had him oat of tbe room before be knew it Slavln, who bad been crouching in bis chair, wltb bands twitching and eyes glaring, rose and followed, still crouching as be walked. I hurried after blm, calling him back. Turning at my voice, tbe doctor saw Slavln approaching. There was some thing so terrifying In bis swift noise less, crouching motion that the doctor, crying out In fear, "Keep blm offr fairly turned and fled. He was too late. Like a tiger Slavln leaped upon him and without waiting to strike had bim by tbe throat wltb both hands snd, bearing bim to the ground, worried blm there as s dog might a cat Immediately Craig and I were upon him; bat, though we lifted him clear off the ground, we coold not loosen that two handed strangling grip. Aa we were struggling there a light band touched my s boulder. It waa Father Goulet "Please let blm go and stand away from us," be said, waring us back. We obeyed. He leaned over Slavln aad spoke few words to bim. Slavln started as If struck a heavy Mow, looked up at tbe priest with fear In bis face, bat still keeping bis grip. "Let blm go." said tbe priest Slavln hesitated. "Let him go! Qnlckr said the priest again, and Slavln. with a snarl, let go hie hold snd stood sullenly fsdng tbe priest Father Goulet regarded blm steadily for some seconds and then aaked: "What would yoo dor His voice waa gentle enough, even sweet, but there wss something la It that chilled my marrow. "What would yoo dor be repeated. "He mnrdered my child," growled Slavln. "Ab! Howr "He was drank and petsoned bim.' "Abl Who tare blm drink? Who made him a drunkard two years ago?

"If s myself that knows It for the price of whisky bas gone up In town this week," be answered, giving me a look out of the corner of his eye. "Be- dad, it was a rare clever Job," refer ring to our Black Rock hotel affair. "But won't you be sorry for thlsr asked Craig. "Belike I will, and that's why I'm doing It before I'm sorry for It" be re plied, wltb a delightful bull. "Look here, Slavln," said Craig ear nestly, "If I can be of use to you In any way, count on me." "If s good to me the both of you have been, and I'll not forget It to yoo," be replied, with like earnestness. As we told Mrs. Msvor that night for Craig thought It too good to keep, ber eyes seemed to grow deeper and the light In them to glow more Intense as sbe listened to Craig pouring out bla tale. Then she gave blm ber band and said: "Too have your man at last" "What manr "The man yon have been waiting for." "Slavln f "Why notr "I never thought of It" "No more did he or any of os." Then, after a pause, the added gently, "He baa been sent to us." "Do yon know, I believe you are right" Craig said slowly and then add ed, "But you always are." "I fear not" she answered, but I thought she liked to bear bis words. The whole town was astounded next morning when Slavln went to work In the mines, and its astonishment only deepened as tbe days went on and be stuck to bis work. Before three weeks had gone tbe league bad bought and remodeled tbe saloon and bad secured Slavln as resident manager. Tbe evening of the reopening of Bla vln's saloon, as it was still called, was long remembered In Black Rock. It was the occasion of the first appear ance of tbe League Minstrel and Dra matic troupe In what was described as "hair lifting tragedy, with appropri ate musical selections." Then there was a grand supper, wltb speeches and great enthusiasm, which reached its climax when Nixon rose to propose the toast or tne evening, "uursaioon. his speech was simply a quiet manly ac count of his long struggle wltb the deadly enemy. Wben be came to speak of his recent defeat be said: "And, while I am blamln' no one but myself, I am glad tonight this sa loon Is on our side, for my own saks and for tbe sake of those who have been waltin' long to see me. But be fore I sit down I want to ssy that while I live I shall not forget that I owe my life to tbe man that took me that nlgbt to bis own shack and put me In bis own bed and met me next mornln' witb an open band, for I tell yoo I bad sworn to God tbat mornln' would be my last" Geordle's speech was characteristic. After a brief reference to tbe "myste rious ways o Providence," which be acknowledged be might sometimes fall to understand, be went on to express his unqualified approval of tbe new saloon. "If a s cosy place, an there's nae sul phur aboot Besides a' that" be went on enthusiastically, "It'll be a terrible savin. I've Joist been coontln. creat emnhaala, "I've Julst been coontln'," went on Geordle, ignoring tbe remark and the laugh which followed, "an If a an awfu like money ye pit ower wl' tbe wbusky.

' But when Slavin, oor saloon keeper, rose to reply tbe men Jumped op the seats and yelled till tbey coold yell no mnre He sin stood, evidently la at! "If s speechless I am entirely.

I was too busy watching the varying lights In Mrs. Ma- Tor's eyes ss sbe looked from Craig to the yelling men on the benches and ta bles and then to Slavin, and I found myself wondering If sbe knew what it was that came to Slavln, CHAPTER XL ITH the can to Mr. Craig I fancy I had something te do myself.
