A scattered few of tb Tlgtlantea had bera taken tliua. while tb warring clement bad prevented their famlllea from spreading the alarm or venturing out for succor. Tboa whom be was able to warn dressed hurriedly, took their rlflee and went out Into the drifting nlgbt, leav ing empty raldna and weeping women. Th great fight waa on. Toward daylight the remnant of th vigilante atraggled Into the big blank warebous on the aandsplt and ther beneath th amoklng glare of lanterns cursed the nam of McXa many Aa dawn graved the ragged eastern skyline, Peitry aud Slapjack blew In through the spludrlft, bringing word from Cherry and lifting a load from Glonlster's mind.

A th day grew tb storm died, leav ing ramparts of clouds banging sullen ly above the ocean' rim, while thoae killed In weather prophecy foretold th coming of th equinoctial. lu Mc Namara' oltlc there waa great atlr and tb coming of many men.

Tb old man berated her with shrew ish fury, while McNsmara atood silent Tb gtrl listened with eutlre sett con trol until nor Bucl mad a reference to Glen later that aba found Intolerable. "Huah!

That la th only foundation for your Insult McNamara, with apparent candor, broke lu: "You thought you were doing right of course, but your actiou will bav terrible consequence. Now we'll bav riot bloodshed and heaven knowa what It waa to aav all tbl that I wanted to break np their organisation. A week'a Imprisonment would have done It but now they're armed and belligerent, and we'll bar a battl to night" "No, Dor sh cried. "Ther mustn't be any violence." "There la no use trying to check them. They are rushing to their own destruction. I bare learned that they plan to attack th Uldaa tonight, and I'll bav fifty soldiers waiting for them there. It la abame, for they ar de cent fellow blinded by Ignorance and misled by that young miner. Tbla will be the blackest nlgbt tb north hat ever seen." With tbl McNimar left th house and went In search of Voorbeea, re marking to himself: "Now, Mlaa Helen, end your warning -the sooner the bet ter. If I know tboa vigilantes. It will set them craiy, and yet not craty enough fo attack tb Midas. They will strike for me, and when they hit my poor unguarded ofllc they'll think bell has moved north." "Mr. Marshal," aald he to bl tool "I want you to gather forty men quiet ly aad to arm them with Winchesters. Tbey must be fellow who won't faint at blood. Tou know the kind. Assem ble tbem at my office after dark, one at a time, by th back way. It must be don with absolute secrecy. Now, see If you can do tbla on thing and not get balled np. If you fall, I'll make you answer to me." "Why don't you get the troops V ventured Voorhee. "If there' one thing I want to avoid, It' soldiers, either here or at tb mines. When they step In, we step out and I'm not ready for that Just yet" Tb receiver smiled slnisterly. Helen meanwhile had fled to her room and there received QleuUter't note through Cherry Malotte'a mes senger. It rekludled ber worst fear aud bore out McNamara' prophecy. The more ah read of It th more certain the grew that th crista wa only a question of hour and that with darkness tragedy would walk ' the street of Nome. The thought of the wrong already doue was lost In tb lonely girl's terror of the crlm about to happen, for It seemed to ber she bad been the Instrument to act these forces In motion, that ahe had loosed tbla awlft Bedtng avalanche of greed, hatred and brutality. And when the crash should come the girl shuddered. It must not b. Bb would shriek warning from th houaetopa even at roat of her uncle, of McNsmara and of herself. And yet aba bad no proof that a crime existed. Although It all lay clear In ber own mind, tb certainty of It arose only from ber Intuition. If only ahe were able to take a hand If only eh were not a woman. Then Cherry Malotte'a words anent Struv recurred to ber, "A bottle of win and a woman's far." Tbey brought back th lawyer's assurance that tboa doc ument th had safeguarded alt through the long springtime Journey really contained the proof. If tbey did, then they held the power to check tbl Impending conflict Her unci and tb boss would aot oar con tin us If threatened with exposure and prose cution. Th more tb thought of It tb mora urgent seemed the necessity to prevent th battle of tonight There waa a chance here at least and th only one. Adding to ber mental torment was the constant vision of that fac In tb curtain at tb Northern. It waa ber brother, yet what mystery shrouded this affair alao? What kept him from ber? What rauaed blm to alluk away like a thief discovered? Sh grew dlixy tnd hysterical. Struv turned In bl chair a the door to hla private office opened, then leaned to bla feet at tight of tb gray eyej g!rl standing there. . Nursing baby? It's a heavy .train on mother.

I'll keep my part of tb bargain If you'll keep yours. But this b ao place, air time. There's riot ta tb air, and I'm busy pre pa ring for tonight Com bark tomorrow wbea It'a all over." But It was the terror of tou'glifa do ings that htd ber Into bla power. TU never com back." ab aald. "It ta my whim to kaow today-yes, at ouce." He meditated for a time. Thea to day U ahaU be. I'll shirk tb flgbt I'll sacrlflca what shreds of duty have clung to ma, because the fever for yoa ta la my bones, and It seems to me V do murder Yw It. That tb kind of a man I am, 11 have ao pride la myself because of It But re always been that way. We'll ride to tb Sign of the Bled. It" a romantic Utile road house tea mil from here, perched high shore the Soaks river trail. We'll take dinner there together." "But the papers ' "111 have them with me. We'll atart in an bour." "In aa bour," th echoed lifelessly tnd left him. He chuckled grimly tnd seised the telephone. "Central call the Sled road house seven rings on the Suake liver branch. Hello! That you. Shorti? Tbla la Struv. Anybody at tb houa? Good. Turn them away If they com and aay that you're closed. None of your business. I'll b out about dark, ao bav dinner for two. Spread yourself tnd keep tb place clear. Goodby." Strengthened by Glenlster's not. Helen went straight to the other wo man and tbla time waa nut kept wait ing nor greeted with sneers, but found Cherry cloaked In a thy digulty, which she rlawd tightly about herself. Vn der ber visitor's Incoherence she lost her diffidence, however, and, when nelen bad finished, remarked, with de cision: "Don't go with blm. He's a bad man." "But I must. The blood of those men will be on me If I don't ttop this trag edy. If those papers tell the tale I think they, do, I can call off my uncle and make McNamara glv back the mine. Tou aald Strove told you tb whole scheme. Did you see the proof r "No, I have only bit word, but be poke of those documents repeatedly, saying they contained bla Instructions to tl up the mines In order to give t foothold for tbe lawsuits He bragged that the real ot the gang were In bl power and that he could land them In tbe penitentiary for conspiracy. That's all." "It's tbe only chance," said Helen. "Tbey are sending soldiers to tbe Midas to lie In ambush, and you must warn th vigilantes." Cherry paled at tblt tnd ejaculated: "Good Lord! Boy said he'd lead an attack tonight" Th two stared at each other. "If I succeed with Struv I ran ttop It til all of thlt Injustice and crime verythlng." "Do you retllxe whit you're risk big?" Cherry demanded. "That man it in animal. Tou'll hire to kill him to tv yourself, tnd be'll uever give up those proofs." "Yea, b will," (aid Helen fiercely, "and I defy him to harm me. Tbe Sign of tbe Bled Is a public roadhous wltb a landlord, a telephone aud other guests. Will you warn Mr. Gleulster about the troops?" "I will, and blest you for a brtvt girl. Walt a momeut." Cherry took from tbe dresser her tiny revolver. "Dou't hesitate to us this. I want you to know also that I'm sorry for what I laid yesterday." A the hurried away Helen realised with a shock the change that the past tew months bad wrought lu ber. Iu truth, It was aa Glenlster bad tsld. bit northltnd worked strangely with Itt deulxena. What of that shrinking girl who bad stepped out of tbe shel tered life, stroiur only la ber uutrled honesty, to become a bunted, harried thing. Juggling with honor and reputa tion. In her heart a half formed fear that ah might kill man tblt nlgbt to gain ber end? Tb elements wre molding her wltb Irresistible handa. Boy' contact with th primitive bad not roughened him more quickly than had ber. Bb met her appointment with Struv. and they rode away together, be ttlkatlv and elated, the silent tnd Icy. Lata In th afternoon th cloud bank to tb eastward assumed alarming pro portion. Tbey brought with them an early nightfall, and when they broke let forth a tempest which rivaled that of th previous nlgbt During tbe first ot It rnied men cam sifting Into Mc Namara' office from tbe rear tnd were bidden throughout tbe building. When ver be descried a peculiarly desperate ruffian tb boat called him aside for private Instruction tnd gar minute description of a wide shouldered, erect youth hi white bit tnd half boots Gradually h set bit trip wltb tb men Voorhee had raked from th alums, tnd when It was don smiled to blm self. A be thought It over b ceased to regret th miscarriage of laat night's plan, for I triad served to goad hi ene mies to th point b desired, to tbe point where tbey would rush to their own undoing. He thought wltb satis taction ot the role he would play In tbe t'nlted Btatea press when tb sensa tional newt of tblt night's tdrentur ram ont A court officio I who dared to do hi duty despite a lawless mob.

A to soldiers no, decidedly aa II wished no help of soldiers it tbl tlm. Th tight of a (hip In tb offlng to ward dark caused blm com unes si nes, for, notwithstanding tb assur ance that tb course of J us tic In ta Baa Francisco courts had been clogged, be knew Bill Whet too to be s resource ful lawyer and a determined man. Therefor It relieved blm to not th rising gals, which precluded tb possi bility of Interference from that source. Let tbem com tomorrow If tnsy would. By that tlm torn of tb mine would be ownerless tnd hla. position strengthened a hundredfold. He telephoned tbe mine to throw out C" a-1, although h reasoned that nor. bat b:admea weald think of Jt: Ik lux U la tbt fac of th wrj- Ihg whlrh be kaw mas bav bee transmitted through Helen, rutting a hat raincoat a sought StiUmaa. "Bring yoar atere aver ta my place tonight. There' treabt la th air and I'm prepared for It." "8b basa't returned frua ber rid yet I'm afraid she's eanght la the storm." Tb Judge gaaed aattooaly tnro th dart see. Daring all th long day th vigilante lay to hiding, luipatkrnt at their Ub nes and wondering at tb lack of ef fort made toward their discovery, aot dreaming that McNamara had mora cleverly bidden plana hcblnd. Wbea Cherry' note of warning ram tbey gathered la tb hark room and gav voti-e to their oplnlnu. "There' only one aay to clear tbe atnuiepbere." aald tb chairman. "Yna bet" chorused tbe other. "They've garrisoned tbe mtnea, so let' go through tbe town and make clean Job of It, Let' hang th whole out fit to one post" This met with general approval, Glenlster akin demurring. Said be: "I hare reasoned It out differently, and I want you to bear m through before deckling. Last night I got word from Wheaton that tbe California court ire against aa. lie attribute It to Influence, but whatever the reason, we are rut off from all legal help either In this court or on appeal. Now, sun pnee we lynch those official tonight what do w gain? Martial lis In two hour, our mine tied up for another year, and woo knowa what else? May be a corrupter court next season.

When Vncle Sam takea a hand we'll get squnre deal, an I say let us Mike at the Midas tonight and take ber If we ran. Some ot n will go down, but what of It?" Following this baraugue, he outlined t plan which In Ita unique daring took away their breaths, aud bo filled In detail after detail they brightened with excltemeut nnd that love of the long chance which makes gambler of tlinae who thread the silent valley or tread tbe edge of things. Ills boldness stirred tbem tnd enthuilism did the rest "All I want for myself," he said, "Is the chance to run th big risk. It's uln by right." Dextry spoke breathlessly to Slap jack In th pause which ensued: "Ain't h a bellerr "We'll go you," th miner chimed to a nun. And the chairman added: "Left bav Glenlater lead tblt forlorn hope. I tm willing to ttand or fall on hit Judgment." They acquiesced with out a dissenting voice, tnd with the firm bindt of a natural leader the young mau took control. "Let's hurry up." said one. "It's t long 'mush' tnd the mud Is knee deep." "No wtlklDg for us," said Koy. "We'll go by train." "By train? How can w get t train?" "Steal It," be answered, it which Dextry grinned delightedly it bis loose Jointed companion, and Slapjack showed hit toothless gums In tuswer, taylug: "He sure la." A few more words tnd Glenlster, ac companied by thes two, slipped out Into th whirling storm, tnd btlt hour liter tb rest followed. One by one the Tlgilantet left tbe blackness blot ting tbem up an irm't length from th door, till It last tb big, bleak wire bouse echoed hollowly to the role of tb wlud nd wtter. Over In th eastern sud of tb town, behind dark windows upon which tb tbeeted rain beat furiously, other armed men lay patiently waiting waiting mm word from tb bulky shadow which stood with folded arms close against t square of gray, while over tbelr beads a wretched old mm paced bsck ind forth, wrlnglug bis bands, pautlug at every turn to peer out Into tbe nlgbt and to mumble the nam of bit tlstor't child.

Tar bell tells the story of the government's prosecution of; the Standard Oil Company. Of the "big fine" she says: "Tbe jury found the 8tandard Oil Company guilty, and to Judge Kenesaw M. Landis fell the duty of punuthing them. He gave them tbe maximum penalty, -'9,:MO,00. A big fine indeed! Vby did be do it! A little matter of railroad dis crimination aud they had been enjoying discrimination of one kind and another for thirty fire yean! "Is not. there tbe very reason snd tbe real justification of this gteat fine a fine that has done more. to break the sphinx-like atti tude of Mr. Rockefeller and his great concern, in tbe face of law and public opinion, than anything which government or people have been able to do in the thirty-five years they have been struggling to force tbem to admit the public character of transportation and to observe the laws governing it. For Judge Landis' fine is not put on sn inexperienced first offender. It is not spplied to an offender who sinned from ignorance of tbe law or from tbe pressure of dire cir cumstances. It is applied to a con cern which for thirty five years has fought against recognizing a funda mental principle of common law, and that is tbe freedom of the road an offender who presumed to come iuto Judge Land is' court after all these years of struggle on tbe part of tbe people of tbe United States to force equality on tbe rail roads, and plead that it has 'a nat ural inbereut right to make a pri vate coutract for a railroad rate.' Mr. ltockefeller, to tbe writer's knowledge, lias in private conver sation, eveu very recently, argued this right that be, the big ship per, ought to have lower rates just as the buyer of ten dozen pairs of boots ought to get tbem cheaper per pair than the buyer of one pair that is, Mr. Rockefeller and tbe Standard Oil Company, after thirty-five years of decisions, in snd out of the courts, of popular upris ings, of lawmaking, of punish ments, still set themselves against the spirit of the common law, against the word of the written law, against tbe fundamental Americau doctrine of equal opportunity that highways belong to the whole people and all men shall have equal rights in them."

M.C Five years ago The Bank of Union opened for business. At that time there was only one bank in Union county, with assets of about. $2(X),000.00 or less, while now there are five banks in the county with assets aggregating about $1,000,000.00. What a wonderful change for so short a time! What is the reason? The principal cause lies in the enhanced values of farm products, but along with this there has been a great awakening in the way of doing business. People who were dead in financial matters have come to life, and they see the dawn of a better day. People are more thrifty than five years ago. They are more ambitious to succeed, and they do succeed. The banks have contributed no little to this revolution in financial matters. The Bank of Union Has labored Steadily to Promote Prosperity in Union and Adjoining Comities. It has spent much money to safeguard the interests of ita custo mers. No bank could do more under the circumstances. Absolute safety and good service are guaranteed. The people should recog nize these facts and appreciate them. They could not do this in a more welcome way than by using this bank as a depository. A private room for the accommodation of customers has been provid ed. There they will find a desk, paper, etc, for their convenience. Welcome.
