t dust then the clerical gentleman who had
inspected us earlier in the night mine out of
the sheds, and when he perceived the plight
into whioh Margaret had been brought he
went hastily to her and without a •second's
delay unfastened the shawl and freed her.
" I do not know what they meant by
this. Have they hurt you ?"
Margaret held out her white, round wrists,
on whioh there were red lines.
"They know so little of American girls,"
said she, " that they thought this would
frighten me."
" You have reason enough for fright," he
returned, t► ho
without anysuch t
reatment.
",
I have no expectation of being afraid,"
said she, " and if you command this band
yon have, let me tell you, sir, a precious set
of rascals under you.'
" You need not be saucy," he replied. "It
will pay you better to be honest and tell me
who sent you here."
" Surely you know all I' can: tell you!
Where is the woman of the house in whioh
we lodged ? I suppose she is your accomplice Y
When she called me out of my room and
asked me if I had a friend here I was frank
and told her. Ask her if yon wantto know."
"Softer,` softer, my dear," he said, "yon

better be uglier and wiser."
There is the woman 2" asked Margaret.
e has gone home to look your uncle in
his room. ' To keep him from taking; cold In
the night air."
Margaret turned her head away as
though she meant to say she was done with
him.
I adored her for her courage, but 1 ard-
ently desired she might not anger him. He
treated her as though she was a petulant
ohild, and asked her questions from whioh I
soon gathered that they suspected tie of being
spies in the employ of the owners of the
mines, and that she had come with me to
divert suspicion from our object.
Ib appeared to me that they had founded
all this on some confused story to which the
man constantly alluded, but to whioh Mar-
garet had, of course, no olew. And`I also
understood that they had laid a trap of some
kind to get Margaret away by herself,hop-
ing to wring a confession from her, and
that the woman of the house had maddedthem.
The girl answered boldly enough, and fin-
ally said that we were friends of Mr: Lewis
and had some to be of some use to him.
When this was translated to the mon,
who never moved their eyes from the face of
the two speakers, they brutally laughed,
and she, for the first time, lost her perfect
command of herself.
There was once a little man who wore a
fur nape, and he diiiplayed his knowledge of
English by occasionally crying out:-
"Tyrant! Slave! Puah ahead!" When he
heard the name of Lewis he shrugged his
shoulders and gave an idiotic jump into the
air.
It was as m nob as I could do not to go out
and shake the little monster, but I had Cease'
enough to keep silent - and quiet. Yet le
was hard work—the hardest I ever did.
They bellied Margaret, they tried to ter-
rify her into a confession, as they grew more
and more convinced that she was baffling
them.
They mistook her innocence for assurance,
her courage' for obstinacy, bub they did nob
touch her.
nal," answered the girl, " and there is noth.
ing for us to do but to go to it, We cannot
plunge into the d5tknesa without a guide."
So we stepped off the boards and went
warily; along a path whioh was. not difficult
to keep, so well trodden was it. We soon
discovered, as our eyes grew acoustomed to
the darkness„that we were going through
a small wood, and when after a time we
oame out 'edit we found a pathway of boards
so narrowthat we could not walk abreast,

we were on ,lie right road.
And so after e' time we oame to the light,
and behol itwvas he hotel el to which e had

been so vaguelydireoted.
The henna Was a small, wooden affair, nob
over. olean•and stneliing of tobacco, but the
only smoker' a woman, who sat by a
stove with a pipe in her mouth. When we
entered the open door she looked up, stared
a moment and then called "Liberty 1”
Whether this was the goddess or nob we
did not know, bub there was no answer. The
woman then knocked the ashes, out of her
pipe into the sanded box in whioh the stove
stood, and giving her voice a higher pitch
eoreamcd again, "Liberty 1" this invocation
was more successful, and a thin, pale haired
youth strolled into the room.
The woman nodded toward us. The boy
looked at Margaret and hie whole faoe flush-
ed, and, indeed, I do not believe his eyes had
ever rested on anything so fair as this girl
in her dark dress, tired and silent, standing
there.
'f�tt��,;were !told," said I, "that we could
have`Todging here, and we should also like
some supper."
"Sib down," acid Liberty, and he at once
disappeared.
So we sat down Bide by side on an old
wooden settle, and it was not many minutes
before Margaret's hand stole into mine. I
looked at her with apprehension, and to my
surprise she said, clearly and boldly : "I am
not afraid. I am only hungry."
The woman looked at her.
"Is she your daughter Y" she asked.
" My niece," I promptly announced.
" She doesn't' favor you," said She, and
there was again silence.
After what seemed to us a very long time
a man looking like a Presbyterian clergy-
man in a miner's clothes came in, and in his
turn stared at us, gave a little nod, and he
wenb out.
Then the woman arose, took Iwo plates
from, a closet, two .cups and ;saucers and
began to prepare a table for us.: She spread
no cloth and she pub the bacon and potatoes,

poured some water on what was already in

and some pickled tripe on the table and bade
no come and eat.
When we had finished the woman lighted
two candles, and we arose and followed her
to two reaaonably clean bedrooms on th
other side of the ball,
After she had left ns we sat down'and
talked.
Now that we were in Tiger Hill we had
no idea what to do or where to turn. But
we agreed that we had'best be silent and

the place and learn something of the people.
There mast he some one in authority here
and ,some one who has some sense of law,

and just' what has happened.. In the mean-
time we have come because I am interested
in the mines, and you are my niece—as, in-
deed, dear child, from this moment you
mush be."
.and Margaret, leaning over, took my
hand and kissed it, bub I drew it away and
laid it on her pretty head and prayed to
God that she might in this adventure be
kept from harm and from sorrow..
And indeed it was but a few hours after
that there'waa'need of an instant answer bo
thia prayer.
CHAPTER XI.
I had been asleep about an hour when
suddenly I awakened. It seemed to me that
something had happened to arouse • me, bub
everything was 'perfectly still. The stars
were.now Shining.. I heard an owl hoot and
the ory of a lonely ariakeb. I wan just
falling toff to sleep again when the very
skies seemed rent by a woman's scream.

Out of the bed I sprang, and into her
room, whioh was empty and her clothing

It took me bub a moment to fling on my
clothes and dash oat of the silent dark
house, and here and there I ran trying to
find some token of her, but I did not pall
nor speak. I am not young but I am strong,

CHAPTER XIII.
Then Marggaret suddenly, drew her shawl
closer around her shoulders.
"I am cold," she said, "and I am tired. I
wish you would have more wood thrown' on
the fire and give mea seat by ib."
The little man, when this was translated,
inade a reply that was in turn translated to
her, and it was that they would make up the
fire and give her a seat in the 'middle of ib.
The dreadful brutality of this made her
cheek pale, yet she said not a word, but
turned and walked to the fire and sat down
on the trunk of a fallen ;tree, which was evi-
dently drawn there for a seat.
For a moment her whole body relaxed,
and she looked as if she could bear no more.
She put out her hands to the now low fire,
but in a moment rested her head on her hand
ike a tired ohild.
Then she drew herself together, looked
up, and did the most astonishing thing!
She began to sing 1 To sing in a clear,
sweet, thrilling voioe,' which vibrated wine
passionate intonation.
If an angel from heaven had alighted, and
n his ;dazzling attire had stood ing their
mideb, the men could not have been more
battled, more electrified. They stood
tookatill, gazing ab her. She gave no heed
o them bub sae louder and clearer, until
i

er voice seemed to fill the air, risking

oleate with enchantment.
For what was She singing ?
Ah, for what was she not eluging 1 For

Faith at Johnstown.
In one of the diapatches received by "The
New' York Times" from the scene of the
disaster it was stated that some persona who
had been rescued from the flood only to find
themselves sole survivors' of their families
had abandoned all faith in Providence, and
had emphasized their change of mind by
casting away their Bibles. This affords an
illustration of :a kind of faith that never
should' have .'existed. These `persons had
evidently cherished the. idea that, if they
tried to live religiously, Providence would
see that they did not suffer from the effects
either of their own or of others' careless-
ness; and that natural agencies of adestruo-
bite character would in some , mysterious
way be instructed' to pass them over, even
while causing havoc all around.' Thle expee.
talion having been falsified by facts, their
faith in the divine government is nob only
shaken but destroyed. .Their atandpoint ie
manifestly a leas reasonable and noble one
than that of the patriarch Job, who in
the depth of his trouble could exclaim,
"Though He slay me, yet will I trust him.'
Herein lies a lesson for the clergy and for
all teaohere of youth. The only stable faith
le one that reposes upon the order of nature,
or at least that fully accepts that order, and
is therefore prepared for all that may flow
from it, The man who stipples bhat by
any pions observances he can, to even the
smallest - extent, guarantee himself or his
household from fire or flood, from pestilence,
famine, or any form of physical disaster is
virtually a fetish -worshiper. The pact he
strives to make with the power he recognizes
is , of the nature` of a' private bargain, as.
cording to the terms of whioh exceptions
to bhe general working of natural laws are
to be made whenever his individual interests
seem to require ib.

(THE END.]
Menaced by a Pillar of Water •
A couple of our British ; Columbia Creek
fishermen report a : curious story. (They
made a' trip yesterday afternoon toward San
Juan island. Though there was a nice fresh
breeze it was' still a mile from the north
western end of the island, and the boat found
herself at once invery smooth water. There'
was absolutely not a' breath of wind, and
there was,scarcely a ripple on - the water,
while ab a distance the sea was rough.
Accustomed as they are to the sea, they had
never seen such a phenomenon. When they
were regarding the smooth surface there rose
at once, a short distance ahead of the boat,.
an immense waterspout, and, quickly ascend-
ing to a height of ebo-ut 80 feet, almost imme-
diately began working toward bhe boat.
Inured to hardship: and almost constantly
facing danger (none form or another, fisher-
men are not easily' alarmed, but when the
great pillar of swirling water began to ap-
proaeh in a direct line, toward the boat, the
hearts of the men almost stood still.
As there was absolutely nob a breath of
wind, nothing could be done to ovoid what
appeared to be,almost certain death, and the
two menconld only stand' by and await their
fate. But again an unexpected thing
happened. The spout, instead of striking
the boat, suddenly began to retreat- in the
seine direction from which ib oame, and
when apparently in the name place where -
it rose soddenly collapsed with a great
splash. The fresh breeze roae' and the
dead oalm-disappeared.
The fishermen say that they do nob ex.
aggerate: anything. They were Bober; in
fact, they never drink, and the story is per-
fectly true.
