Alton Clyde! lit was pretty talkatlre tbt night I saw him." The reporter laughed meaning J. "Drunk, do yoo meanf "Ob. Dot exactly drunk, but pretty wet' lit knew what be was saying, however Can't you girt nit some thing more?" "Nothing." Boyd hurried to bis hotel, a prey to ml n tried anger and contrition. Bo Fraser hud told the truth, after all. and with a kind of sullen loyalty bad chosen to remain under a cloud himself rather than Inform ou a friend. It waa quite In keeping with the fellow's pe culiar temperament As It happened. Boyd found the two men together and lost no time In acquainting them with his discovery. "I've come to apologise to you." he said to Fntser. who grinned broadly and was seized with a sudden abash ment which milled bis tongua Emer son turned to Clyde. "Why did you permit me to do this Injustice?" I I didn't mean to give out any fecrets I don't remember doing It," Alton apolofc.zed lamely "You know 1 enn't drink much I don't remember a thing about It. honestly." Boyd re garded him coldly, but the young man's penitence seemed so genuine, he looked so weak, so pitifully Incompe tent, that the other lacked heart to chastise him. It requires resistance to develop heat, and Rgnlnst the absence of character If Is Impossible to create any sort of emotion. "When you pot' drunk that night yon not only worked a great hardship on all of us. but afterward you allowed me to misjudge a very faithful man." declared Boyd "If you can't keep a rlose mouth and do as you are told you'd better co back to Chicago." "Don't climb any higher." admon ished "Fingerless" Fraser "He's all fluffed up n.w I'll lay you 8 to 1 he don't make another break of the kind." No: I was so com-cussed pletely pickled that 1 forgot I even spoke about the salmon canning business. I'll break my corkscrew and seal my flask. and from this moment until we come out next fail the demon rum and I are divorced. Is that good news?" Everything Is a joke to you. Isn't ltr said Boyd. "If this trip doesn't make a man of you. you'll never grow up." As If nillinrd's conversion had mark ed the turning point of their luck, the partners now entered upon a period of almost uninterrupted success. Boyd signed his charter, securing a tramp steamer then discharging at Tacoma: Bait closed bis contracts for Chinese labor,, and the scattered carloads of material which bad been lost en route or mysteriously laid out on sidings be gan to come In as if of their own accord. A brigade of orientals and a minia ture army of fishermen had appeared as if by magic and were quartered In the lower part of the city awaiting shipment. At the dock one throbbing April evening the Bedford Castle berthed, ready "to receive her cargo, and the two men made their way to ward their hotel, weary, but glowing with the grateful sense of an arduous duty well performed. The following morning would find the wharf swarm ing with stevedores and echoing to the rattle of trucks, the clank of hoists and the shrill whistles of the signalmen. "Looks like they couldn't stop us now," said Halt. "It does'." agreed Emerson. "We ought to clear In four daysthat'll be the lr.th." "It smells like an early spring, too." the fisherman observed, sniffing the air. "If it is we'll be in Kalvik the first week in May." 'Tin off to fell Cherry." said Boyd. His course took him past Ililliard's bank, and when abreast of It he nearly collided with a man who came hurry ing forth. In the well groomed, fiery haired, plump figured man Emerson recognized the manager of the North America n Packers' association. "flood evening, Mr. Marsh." Marsh whirled about. "Eh? Ah! Why. yes, it's Emerson." Marsli Informed Boyd of the anger of Mildred's father at his canning en terprise and also that Mildred and Mr. Waylnnd were to visit Kalvik on a yachting tour. Emerson was great ly amazed at this Information: also he realized that Marsh had arrived on the spot because Hilliard had granted his opponents their needed loan. The men separated. The next morning Bait rushed In on Emerson with news that the laborers loading the Bedford Castle had gone on a strike because the captain. Peas ley, rightly refused a demand of $2,000 by the union. "It's Marsh again," said Big George. "Yes," Emerson answered; "it's a holdup pure and simple." A look of Intense anxiety came Into his eyes. When Boyd returned some two hours later he found the dock deserted save for Big George, who prowled watchful ly aUjut the freight piles. "Well, did you fix it up?" the fisher man inquired. "No." exclaimed Boyd. tot freight pile, whenct bt waa scan' ning tht crowd. Tbt man recognized Emerson and pointed blm out Tht Dtxt instant Boyd taw him approach lng, followed by several others. Then, though Boyd fell back farther, tht others rushed In and bt fouqd himself bard beset What happened thereafter neither bt nor Alton Clydt, who was half dated to begin with, tver clearly remembered. Befort bt bad recognized the person al naturt of tbt assault Emerson found himself engaged In a furious band to band struggle. Then a sudden black ness swallowed him up, after which bt found himself upon his knees, bis arms loosely encircling a pair of legs. At bt struggled upward something smott him In tht side with sickening force. and he went to bis knees again. Ue could only raise his shoulder and fling an arm weakly above bis head In anticipation of tbt crushing blow bt "Down tbt street yonder I'rt'got hundred fishermen. Half of them art drunk at this minute and tbt rest art half drunk." "Then they art of no ust to ua," "I don't reckon you ever teen a herd of Kalrik flsbertnen out of a Job, did you? Well, there's Just two things they know, fishing and fighting, and this ain't the fishing season. When they hit Seattle tbt police force goes up Into tbt residence section and stuffs cotton In Its ears, because tht only thing that Is strong enough to stand between a uniform and a fisherman Is a hill." "Can you Induct them to work?" "I can. All I'm afraid of Is that I can't induce them to quit. They're liable to put bis freight aboard the Bedford Castle and then pull down the dot-It In a spirit of playfulness and pile It In Captain Peasley's cabin. There ain't no convulsion of nature that's equal to a gang of Idle fisher men." "When can they begin?" "Well. It will take me all night to round them up, and I'll have to lick four or five, but there ought to be a dozen or two on band In the morn ing." George cast a roving eye over the warehouse from the heavy plank ing underfoot to the wide spanning rafters above. "Yes." he concluded, "I don't see nothing breakable, so I guess It's safe." "Would you like me to go with you?" The giant considered him specula tively. "I don't think so. I ain't nev er seen you In action. No. you better stay here and arrange to guard this Stuff till morning. I'll do the rest." The following morning, true to his word, the big fellow walked Into the warehouse followed by a score or more of burly flsliermeu. Bait bore signs of strife. The big map's Hps were cut. while back of one ear a knot bad sprung up overnight like a fungus. They fell to work quickly, stripping themselves to their undershirts; they thought was coming. But It did not manned the hoists, seized trucks and descend. Instead he heard a gunshot bale hooks and began their tasks with SVre. BE COCLD ONLY FLING AN ARM WXAKLT ABOVK HIS HKAD. a thoroughly nonunion energy. Some of them were still so drunk that tbey staggered, their awkwardness afford ing huge sport to their companions, yet even In their Intoxication they were surprisingly capable. George sought out Boyd and proudly In quired: "What do you think of them, eh?" "They are splendid. But where are the others V "Well, there are two or three that won't be able to get around at all." He meditatively stroked the knuckles of his right band, which were badly bruised. "But the balance will be here tomorrow. These are Just the mildest mannered ones the family men. you might say. The others will show up gradual." The work had not continued many hours before a stranger made h'i way in upon the dock and beg;"; argue with the first flsherm" met. Boyd, approaching him. de. yded: "What do you want?' "Nothing." said the newcomer. "Then get out." "What for? I'm Just talking to this man." "Will you go?" "Say, you can't load that cargo this way." the man began threaten ingly. "And you can't make me go" At which Emerson seized him by the collar and quickly disproved the asser tion, to the great delight of the fish ermen. He thrust him out into the 8 1 reef. "I'm a union roan, and yon can't load that ship with 'scabs.' " The stranger swore as he slunk off. The first actual violence, however, occurred when the fishermen knocked off for the noon hour. Boyd called up j the police department, then summoned Big George. It was with considerable difficulty that the nonunion crew fought its way back to resume work at 1 o'clock. During the afternoon the strikers made several attempts to enter the dock shed, and It required a firm stand by the guards to restrain them. The next' morning found the non union men out in such force that they were divided Into a night and a day crew, half of them being sent back to report later, while among the moun tains of freight the wprk went for- It's a rank frame-up, and" I refused to be bled." "Good for you." "There are some things a fellow's manhood won't stand for. I'll carry that freight aboard with mv own bands before 111 be robbed by a labor union at the bidding of Willis Marsh." "Say, will you let me load this ship my way?" George asked. "Can you do ltr Bait's thick lips drew back from bis yellow teeth In that smile which Emer n bad rorae to recognize as a har binger of the violent acts that reJolcl bis lawle noul "Listen." said be, with a chuckle ward faster than ever. But In time the city awoke to the realization that a serious conflict was In progress. The handful of fishermen, outnum bered twenty to one and guarded only by a thin line of pickets, became a center of general Interest It was on the fourth day that Boyd espied the man In the gray suit among the strikers and pointed him out to his three companions. Clyde and Era ser having Joined him and George in a spirit of curiosity. Late in rtie afternoon, without a moment's warning, the strikers rushed in a body, beating down the guards like reeds. Emerson and his companions " found themselves carried away before the on slaught like chips in the surf, then sucked Into a maelstrom where the first duty was self preservation. Boyd succeeded in keeping bis footing and eventually fought his way to a backing of crated machinery, where he stooped and ripped a cleat loose. Then, laying about him with this weapon, be clear ed a space J At the first alarm the fishermen had armed themselves with bale bocks and bludgeons and for a time worked havoc among their assailants. Bering Clyde In a helpless condition, Emerson shouted: "Come on! TO help yoo aboard tht shb" lie found a hardwood club be neath bis feet and with It cleared a pathway for Clyde and himself. Bt suddenly spied the man In the gray salt, who bad climbed upon one of A weight sank across his calves. Then, with a final effort, he pulled himself free and staggered to his feet. his head rocking, his knees sagging. He saw a man's figure facing him and lunged at It to bring up in the arms of "Flngerless" Eraser.' Boyd turned and beheld the body of a man stretched face downward on the floor. Beyond the fellow In the gray suit was dlsapjearlng Into the crowd. Tueu he saw a gleam of blue metal In Eraser's heads. "Give me that gun!" he panted. "1 may need It myself, and I ain't got but the one here. Let's get Clyde out of this." Fraser lifted the young clubman, who was huddled in a formless heap as if he had fallen from a great height, and together the two dragged him to ward the Bedford Castle. That uight under glaring headlines the evening papers told the story, re porting one fisherman fatally hurt, one striker dead of a gunshot wound and many others injured. (To he Continued.) A Simple Safeguard for Mothers. Mrs. D. Gilkeson, 326 Ingles Ave., Youngstown, Ohio, gained wisdom by experience. "My little girl had a severe cold and coughed almost con tinuously. My sister recommended Foley's Honey and Tar. The first dose I gave her relieved the inflam mation in her throat and after using only one bottle her throat and lungs were entirely free from inflamma tion. Since then I always keep a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar In the house. Accept no substitutes. J. H. Kennedy & Co. SEABOARD AIR LINE , SCHEDULE.
