A light burned in his eyes; it was as if the red-shirted,, whiskey -smelling foreman had open- ed a door to a new world. "Go on, tell me more," "Well," continued O'Grady, "thim, guys down in Montreal don't know! about tryin' ter }sleet a right av way; through bedrock. "Tis me belief they've, forgotten the work this same gang's done before. They went back on Uncle Stan because th' idjits thought it was his fault, whin all th' tome it waz th' fault av this blessed coun- try. And along you come whin we've been breakin' our backs ter make good fer th' best mon that iver lived, and you up and says: 'Men, yer not put - tin' out!' . . . Awhile back ye asked me to pat rneself in your place. Now, Mister Cameron, put yourself in our place if it glazes ye." Mike drew on his pipe furiously, his one visihle eye blazing. "We ain't none av yer blanked Mexicans; we're white men buildin' a railroad fer th' iverlastia' fun av buildin' it. We'll work loike blazes with ye,. but we 'vvon't slave under ye; and thot, sor, is me honest opinion." For a moment the tent was very silent. Cameron passed a hand across his eyes as if sight had been miracu- lously given them after years of dark- ness. Then he got up. "Mike O'Grady," said he, "you're right; I'm wrong. Do you think with your help I could learn to work with you fellows? So we can all see the railroad go through?" The foreman was on his feet like a flash. He grabbed the other's hand. 'Tis sure av it Oi am, sor! Oi waz a drunken fool to -night, but there'll be no more boozin' in this camp because Oi kin lick ivery mith- er's son av 'ern—barrin' you, sor. And Oi ain't sure Oi can't do thot whin Oi'w sober." What particular brand of magic Mike O'Grady worked before break- fast the following morning is strictly Mike's business. Suffice to say it was a totally changed construction gang that fell upon the cliff with a will. Cameron, watching them, could "hardly believe his eyes. No, O'Grady had been right; this was not a collection of drones, but a gathering of men—Of brothers under the skin—giving their best whole- heartedly for a far smaller recompense than he—Cameron—received. He looked up at the sky and thank- ed God for all the O'Grady's in the world; and asked God that, through the coming years, he might be blessed with a larger understanding. Suddenly he saw the gang melt away from the cliff path. Somebody shouted "Blast!" A moment passed; then with a muffled roar a great sec- tion of rock tore itself from its bed and hurtled into the valley. The engineer knew another blast would follow, as it had been found ad- visable to time the explosion of two charges, one after the other. He joined the group of waiting men, but nothing happened. A minute passed—two, three, five. Something had gone wrong; the detonator had failed. Of course the loose rock might part at any time of its own weight, or it might remain where it was indefinitely, blocking the work. .„ O'Grady, in charge of operations at this particular point, swore. "Sure the down thing's dead! 'Twill be best to go out there an take a look, Oi'm thinkina" The engineers practiced eye swept the cliff path, saw the mammoth crack in the rock upholding that path. The next blast would have established new and firm bed; but there couldn't be any next blast until somebody placed a fresh detonator on the charge and connected it with the firing wire. Of course the overhanging ledge might be firin enough to withstand the weight of a locomotive, or it might crash downward under a few pounds agnanaMISSIMMEleatealiUMIaaall=ai ‘M, ars No r Ubbing- noiX)iiing 7nr;,, For every • sh-d(21), ethod DID INSO is ideal for any wash -day IA. method you use.

Something closed around Cameron' a heart. Ater the man fetch- ed'uss against the cliff, after the frag- ments .had showered upon his body what use would there be in dragging what as left to safety? "Hold on, Mike!" snapped the en- gineer. O'Grady grinned. 'Twill be all right, sor. Jist a ticklish moment while Oi stick on another cap., Oi've done it before Cameron had seen others flirt with death. HO had taken some long chances himself; but now the convict tion came to him that the grinning, red-headed Irishman was worth more to the road, more to progress, than a mere engineer. Plenty of engineers, but O'Gradys were scarce! Cameron jerked the rope from, his foreman. s" "I'll 'tend to that!" he,snapped. A dozen men pushed forward . "Not on, yer loifel" yelled Mike. 'Tis me own job!" And he caught an end of the line. One second Mike stood grinning, de- fiant, determined to face the rock shelf; the next he sprawled upon his broad back, catapulted there by Cam- eron's fist. "I said," repeated Cameron, "I would +tend to setting that cap. Any- body who interferes will wake up be-. side O'Grady!" ' The men hesitated, fell away. Countless fingers gripped the rope the engineer tied about his waist. A hush fell upon the gathering as Cameron, detonator in hand, moved toward the cliff path. Then he stepped out from safety, on his right the sheer wall brushing his shoulder, on his left the abyss reaching for his toes. 1` He did not look below, but kept his eyes riveted on that portion of the rock a hundred feet distant in which Was buried the dynamite ehaigO /13very ear waited for the fatal creek, which wou:d mean probable death tol the man on the path, Pressiag against the cliff, keening hie feet as far aroni the crumbling ledge as Poseible, Cameron continued to degrease the gap between him and his objective. Fifty feet—etwenty— teie—five—a great sigh went up. He was leaning over tlie hole, adjusting the cap and making the connection with the firing wire. Suddenly the dreaded sound cut the stillness—the sharp crack of parting sock. The men tightened their grip on the: rope: - Then Cameron stood erect, waving his arm, ' I ll guar for it!" he yelled. "Ready!" Well he knew that herein lay his best chance, that the shelf could sup- port his weight but for a mon-lent. Crouching, he shot forward at full speed, one shoulder brushing the cliff, the other extending. beyond the path rim. Somewhere below him a rumble broke forth. ,He had covered the greater part o the distance and the men were helping him with a taut line. The ramble increased. He was near "Jump!" somebody screamed. "Jurnp!" It was Mike, who had been •watching the cliff through narrowed eyes. :Blindly Cameron obeyed; and at the same instant those dragging in the rope gave a mighty heave. As his feet left the ledge it parted from the cliff, spinning into the valley below. For a moment his body was whirling through space. It was Mike O'Grady who dusted him off and pressed his dirty rag of a handkerchief over a cut on Cameron's cheek where he had struck a project- ing fragment.of rock; and it was Mike O'Grady who kept screeching at the sop of his lungs: "Yer a fool, sor—a blankest fool! B'ys, he's a blanked fool, but we're with 'im—ivery "'tither's son av us!" • (The End.) Minard's Liniment Heals Cuts. About the House 1 DINNERS FOR THE THRESHERS.

A "hooked" pail will make'. the picking of cherries and other small fruit easier and safer. Any boy or girl in a few minutes can bend a trop wire into a small hook at one end and a large hook at the other. The small hook fastens to the handle Of pail or basket. The larger hook silps over a branch of the tree, This eaves both the picker's hands free, and as it may hang where the fruit is thick the pail is soon filled without bruising the fruit. 5 g THE CURE.

The Dominion's Production. At the present tune mining opera- tions are carried on in all parts of the Dominion, and recent figures show 'that Canada With only .5 or the world's population produces' approxi. ' mately 90. per cent. of ccs cobalt, 75 per cent. of its asbestos, 85 per cent. of its niekel, 12 per cent. of "its silver, 8 per cent. of its geld, and 3.2 per cent. of"its copper. According to the Bureau of Statistics, the mineral pro- duction of Canada, during Ithe period 1910 to 1923, amounted to $2,309,446,- 694, or approximately $265 per capita. Ontario led all other provinces with a Ansa total of $928,410,321, followed in order nuwe of importance by British Columbia with $446,915,322; Nova Scotia, $309,- 935,457; Alberta, $263,070,333; Quebec, $220,362,300; Yukon, $54,177,104; Mani- toba, $32,31'2,323; New BrurisWiek. $20,317,429 and Saskatchewan, $13,- ,895,505. In connection with Canada's. output of gold and silver, it Is of interest to note that Canada is the third largest producing counti-y. As the perioid from 1910 to 1923 is a fairly comprehensive One of the min- ing industry, a review of the annual production values shows a steady and gratifying increase from year to, year. In 1910 the value of the output was placed at $106,823,623, Two years later prodaction bad increased to 5135,- 048,296. At the outbreak of the war - 1914 ---the value ofibe output had de- creased to $123,S63.075, owing Wo the economic depressioin prevailing at that dine. However, the wen brought about a greatly increased demand. for various minerals, and production, in the following years showed a steady. increase, until in 1918, when it amount- ed to $211,301,897—a. new high re- cord. The following year recorded a, sharp drop to $176,686',390, but in 1920 the value of output rose to $227,859,- 665, the highest mark ever reached in the history of the mining industry of Canada.

These two minerals were largely responsible for the splendid showing of Ontario, British Columbia, Yukon, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Asbestos, lead, zinc, silver, nickel, cop- per and various non-metallic minerals were also impartant contributors to the total.
