C(EUR D’ALENE. BY MARY HALLOCK FOOTE. (Copyright, lEO4. fry Mary Hallock Foote.] “Did you ever read a story called ‘Better Dead?’ I don’t know the name of the crank who wrote it." the doctor added, modestly—he was not literary in his tastes —“but he hit on a good phrase right there. I’ve used it to my own satisfaction quite frequently since I read the thing. There’s a friend of ours not far from this who were ‘better dead.’ He is dead. The vital spark has oeen out of him so long it’s indecent to have ium around, and we may as weli be frank about it. I’ve lived long enough in the west not to have many prejudices. but there are one or two things I cannot stand. I can’t stand a coward, and I can't stand a man who doesn't know how to take care of his women folks. To see a girt like Miss Bingham mixed up with such an outfit as that I Now. if she can’t be taken out of this placeany other way I will elope with her myself, and that might make trouble in the family. But there’s no need of me when here are you two fellows, who stood by her once before when the old man went back on her. And she went under fire for you just as if she’d been brought up to it. Iler conduct that right shows what she can do if required. It’s no slouch of a trip I've laid out for you. and I’m sorry. Darcie. you had the bad taste to get shot, just as two arms would have been so mortally convenient. I’m afraid the journey will be rough on you.” “It’s no use. doctor.” said Darcie. quietly, in the bitterness of a despair that was beyond words; “she will never go in the world —not with me. They have shown her that letter, and she thinks I have lied to her; moreover. I accused her to her face of opening it and reading it herself.” “That was pleasant.” said the doctor, dryly. “Any other little endearments pass between you? Is this your international style of courtship? I’ve wondered how you Englishmen manage tc get on so fast with our girls! “Well, she is thinking about you; safety now. purely on account of the reparation we owe you at the mine. It is on her conscience that she wishes she knew where you are. I haven't told her yet: it’s just as well to let you stay on her conscience awhile longer; you’ll never stay in a safer place, and she has got to have something there. But don’t presume upon it. Has it occurred by this time to your investigating mind that there might be ways for a lady to come by the contents of a letter besides helping herself to it? Do you know that the old. man—l won’t call him her father—confronted her with that information you have been collecting and accused her of helping you to get it. and of being your ‘wile accomplish’ generally?—on the word of Abbyl” “Don’t make it any worse, doctor!" pleaded Darcie. humbly. “I know she can never forgive that shadow of a thought in me. Y’et it seemed, as she put it. a simple statement of fact,” “Os what fact?” “That she had read my letter. I’m rot defending myself—” “I should hope not.” the doctor coincided. while Darcie was realizing that he had purchased a great relief at the expense of a deeper despair. “Suppose sue had read it? She was the judge whether she could read it or not; women seem to be able to do things that men can’t do. and vice versa, if you’ve noticed. Anyhow, when a fact about a girl you believe in is impossible on the face of it. I wouldn’t meddle with it; especially if she furnished the fact herself. Women and facts are the queerest things when they get thoroughly mixed; you have simply to choose between your woman and your facts. In your case. Darcie. I needn’t say I’d take the woman every time.” “You would if it wasn't too late," said Darcie, “It all comes to the same thing; she will never go with me. But if she must go, perhaps she will go with

Mike. Tell her, doctor, that I’m not going. I am not going. I'm going to stay and finish my work. I came here to do it and I shuffled out of it for a selfish reason; now I intend to see it through. I was a spy; she believes that I am one still. If needful I will meet the fate of a spy; it seems to be meant for me.” "Oh, come o£E the roof, and do as you are told! The orders are. women and wounded to the rear. You will meet all the ’fate’ you want between here and the Old Mission to-morrow night. Now you needn’t stand there looking as pale as Mike's new pipe disputing what a girl will do or what she won’t do. I'll answer for the girl; she will be on hand, mind you, to start when you <tart. You are to deliver her to my wife, Mrs. William Simpson, at Spokane, and telegraph me directly you arrive. I'll be in to shake hands by and by. "Mike, see that you cover up all that fresh earth in the corner with ashes; it's less conspicuous in case they get on to your trail while it is hot.” XI. OUT OF THE GULCH. It is safe to say that if every ran- i somed Christian in the Coeur d'Alene had lived, according to the word that wc preach to the heathen, as simply, as fearfully, as Wan pursued his timorous way by the glimmer of his per- ; fumed joss-sticks, there would have been no call for martial law. Yet Wan was destined to be one of the chosen victims of the labor question, his part in which, as a proletarian, was little more considered than that of the pony in the doctor's corral. It fell out as the doctor had predicted. The case of Mike and Darcie had been postponed; it was not forgotten. There came a moment, in that hour of insane victory, when it did t occur to some of the Big Horn men that there was a little job unfinished at the | mine. One or two of them who had ■ been concerned in the shooting on \ Tuesday night were burning to avenge ; that silly failure. The trains were still running on the j narrow gauge track between Gem and the mines of Big Horn gulch, but they ; v. ere in the hands of the strikers, and | carried chiefly armed men and muni- ■ tions of murder. They brought the posse of 50 men who had detailed themselves for special duty at the mine. Faith witnessed this ill-omened ar- ’ rival from the seeond-story gallery. ■ where she was walking alone in the starlight, herself being unseen in the shadow of the roof. She watched the movements of the menwith arrxiety.and saw them in threatening consultation with Abby. Even as she listened to the sound of their bodeful voices, her own name was under discussion, and the men were proposing to put her to the question concerning the whereabouts of the spy. "Don't bother with her; it’s time wasted for nothing," Abby advised. "She was using Wan about him herself this morning, and Wan was sulky I and seared, and pretended he didn't know. ’But I saw you going away somewhere with him.’ says she. That’s what she said; I heard her myself You bet he knows all there is to know! You go find Wan.” The doctor also had witnessed the ominous arrival, and was at that moment in the cellar, warning the refugees to be ready, and to have out theii light in case it should be seen when the cellar door opened to admit the unhappy girl who was going with them. Darcie’s heart was in his mouth with fear and joy. and Mike's blood was j bounding at the thought of the wild I night’s flight in the free, open dark-1 ness, and the deeds of daring he might have occasion to display; for Mike had a warm Irish imagination, and he was as vain of his valor as he was sure of it. The doctor had omitted to mention. as a detail of his plan, that he had not as yet presented the same tc; Faith. He was deliberately conspir-I ing with the cruel circumstances that I beset the girl to capture all her scruples at once; there was no other way but! to harden his heart against doubts and I compunctions, and to put confidence in the men he had chosen in the place : of her natural protectors. The doctor was no bungling judge of male character, and. in his opinion, a man may be a young girl’s natural protector in other than the established way; but the doctor was not yet a father. As he left the cellar, his ear was shocked by a sound of pitiable screams and hearse brutal cries, and, looking across the gulch, he saw, as in a vision of the “Inferno,” a wretched, struggling figure haled along at the end of a rope, towed by a mass of men, as fast as they could go over the rough ground, in the direction of the secret tamaracks. The person of the victim was scarcely distinguishable, but the doctor knew it could be only the miserable Chinaman; and a strange familiarity with the fact crossed him. as if he had beheld the shameful scene before in some moment of prophetic consciousness, and had always- known that such would be the end of Wan. In that horror-stricken .moment Faith had flown to her father, forgetful of the breach between them, and confident of his protection for the wretched Wan. She could not yet count him as naught, or quite believe, for all the doctor's unrelenting summing up of facts that were sadly in evidence, what “a king of shreds and patches” was the manager of the Big Horn. At this after-dinner hour he was usually clothed on with his evening liquor, and incommunicable to the pitch of surliness. It was thus that she found him. He had risen from his chair, and was moving with circumspection from the table to the sideboard, when his daughter’s excited entrance startled him. He let fall the key which he held—that very precious duplicate key of the sideboard closet

allays all Nervousness, relieves the Headache Cramps, and N ausea,andso fully prepares the

where his liquors and brandies wen kept, the possession of which he had thus fur been able to conceal from the vigilant Abby. .Vs it slipped from his fat, smooth, shaking fingers, all that was left of his intelligence groveled after it upon the floor. "Father, father!” cried Faith, rushing upon him. "Come, come with me. Oh, rouse up, do! Come out, aud stop this fearful thing!” Seeing no hope of comprehension in his glassy, floating eyes, which tried to fix hers with a reprehensive frown, she seized him and shook him passionately, trying to awaken in that dead heart some spark of warmth from the indignation that burned in her own. “Will you listen to that poor thing begging for his life! Do you want to have your people murdered!” But the late Mr. Bingham simplystared, working his empty fingers, feeling for the lost key; his mind was concentrated solely on that interrupted journey to the sidebroad. “Keep 'way—don’ talk sho lou'; where ’sh it? Only key I got. Abby fin' she—I—wha’ sh’li I do?” he whimpered. "Oh. oh!” shuddered the girl. Mr. Bingham groped for the chair he had imprudently forsaken and seated himself majestically upon the arm. The heavy chair tipped with his weight. Faith helped him to regain his seat. She stooped to search for his key, dashing the tears from her eyes. “Here it is, poor father,” she said, putting the key back into his hand. “There; have you got it? Let me put it into your pocket. See. you will lose it again.” It was all that he cared for; so let him have it and find his way to the sideboard and so out of the world,where he was no longer of any use. Faith could not have reasoned in this coldblooded fashion; she acted on the impulse simply to do one little thing for him that he wanted done before she left him. If not that night, yet she must leave him soon; she could not afford to be harsh with what was already a memory, a grave. There was yet one man in. his senses in that distracted place whose courage and humanity could be counted on; the doctor. Faith knew, had returned to the mine. But as she flew to seek him at his office he was on his way to her. and thus they missed each other by contrary paths in the dark. The office was locked. Faith beat upon the door with bare hands, but got no answer. Then she ran around to the kitchen door, which stood open, showing a light burning in an empty bouse. The doctor could not be far away, she thought, and, stepping inside, she stood on the platform and shrieked: "Oh. doctor, doctor!” in a voice of anguish w hich brought, not. the doctor, but Darcie Hamilton out of the cellar, where her piercing cry had reached him He sprang to her side and put his good arm around her as the simplest wav of answering that there he was if she needed him. “What do you want of the doctor" What has happened? Dear, what is this horror in your face?” “I thought you were gone,” she said, “days ago!” She had forgotten that it was only the night before that he had left her father'shouse; it seemed as if it might have been years. “We are going to-night,” he answered. “Have you not seen the doctor?" “No, no; I cannot find him. They are doing something dreadful to Wan to make him tell where you are—and they are not done with him. I must find the doctor!” “They are done with him,” said Darcie, listening. “Hark! it’s all quiet up the gulch.” “What do you mean? He is dead?” “He has told.” “What! Does he know?” “Why, it was he who brought me here. He’ll tell, you know, if that will save him,” Darcie explained. The shock of this discovery, and its self-evident consequences, left the poor

It brought not th® doctor, but Darcie Hamilton out of tn® cellar. girl no strength wherewith to "counterfeit” any longer, for pride’s sake. It was the simple truth that Darcie read in her face as their sad eyes met, in the sincerity of a moment that might tucir list on earth together. “Go this instant! Why do you stay here? Oh, mercy! where can he go?” She tried to push him from her, while he held her in a dream, hardly daring to believe what her pale face told him. "We were waiting for you, Faith dear. The doctor said you were to go with us; but I said you would never go —with me. But would you go?” he implored. Here Mike’s double bass interrupted, lamenting in a suppressed roar: “Musha, musha! the docther has net towld her a word!” “If it’s about my going—don’t say another word,” pleaded Faith. “I wouldn’t go for all the world. I should only keep you back. You’d have no chance at all with me along.” "And do you think that I am going if you stay here?" said Darcie, half beside himself with joy.

“But there's no danger here for me., "It would be parting soul and body, he said. .. , , _ "Ye'll not keep soul an' body long t gether av ve stay," said Mike. "You break my heart," Faith cried, distractedly. "Those men will have no pity—and you have none—to refuse me this one chance for your life. nie more, will you go?” “Arrah, here comes the docther. lie - the man wc want.' said Mike. It was the doctor, in a panting bur,,.. half choked for breath. “Well, young woman! So here you are and i’ve been all over the country looking for you. Well, boys, have you got this thing all fixed? "It's bechune her an’ him." said Mike, in despair. “She’ll not go for fear she’d delay us, an* he’ll not go an 1 a'e her. an’ I'll not shtir widout him; an' there ye have it —a caucus av fools if iver there was one!” , “Tut, tut! what a waste of time. If she won't go. she won’t, and there s an end of that. Your legs are your best friends now, boys. Get in there: all ashore that’s going. “Come. Darcie. don’t make this kick now. and ruin everything. I know it’s hard." the doctor whispered, with his hand on Darcie’s shoulder, “but. Lord! man, you’re not the only friend she s got! Trust me. we'll get her safe out of this; they don’t exterminate the girls. I'll bet you SSO you cross the lake with her to-morrow night. How's that? Do vou want any better chance than that to plead for your sins? Give her a kiss now, and get along with you. They are headed down the gulch," said the doctor to Mike. "In about five minutes you can break cover. I'll delay them all I can.” [TO BS CONTINUED.) "I Was Weak. Nervous and Run Down.” I want to testify to the good Brown’s Cure has done me.

A SUCCESSFUL EVANGELIST Rev W. A. Dunnett, a Man Whose Good Work || Widely Known— He Relates Events in His Career of General Interest. From the gmith't Faile Ueeord.

Throughout Canada, from the weateru boundary of Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean, there i, no name more widely known in temperance and evangelistic work than that of the Rev. W. A. Dunnett. Mr. Dunnett has been the Grand Vice-Councillor of Ontario and Quebec in the Royal Templars, and so popular is he among the members of the order that in Montreal there is a Royal Templars council named “Dunnett Council” in his honor, tor ■nore than ten rears Mr. Dunnett. has been gofrom place to place pursuing Ins good work, sometimes assisting resident ministers, wmetimes conducting a series of gospel temperance meetings independently, but »>»»£» shoring for the goo-1 of his fellows. \\ Inle , n 'smith's Falls a few monthsagoinconneefmn > with his work he dropped into the Record office r or a little visit with the editor. During the conversation the /fswrd ventured to remark , hat hi- duties entailed an enormous amount of nard work. TothisMr. Dunnettassented. but sdded that in his present physical condition he was equal to any amount of hard work. But it was not alvravs so. he said, and then he gave the writer the following little personal history, with permission to make it public. He said that for the past thirteen years lie had been greatly trouble ! with a pain in the region of his heart, from which he was unahle to get any relief. At times it was a dull, heavy pain, at others sharp and severe. Oftentimes it rendered him unfit for his engagements, and at all times it made it difficult to move. His trouble was alwavs visible to the public and frequently when conducting service he would give out and doctors had to be called in to attend him. This occurred to him in the Yonge Street Church. Toronto; the Baptist Church, Woodstock X. B-; the Methodist Church. Carleton Place, Ont. On another occasion while preaching to an audience of 2,500.
