If her majesty’s ships are to be transformed into prisons, and her officers into lawless tyrants, then the sooner they get out of these waters the better it will ” The knocking of Untilla at the door stopped the squire in the midst of a speech that promised to be treasonable if he continued. Great was the surprise of the squire । and his amiable family at seeing ( ntilla and her dusky companion. They were always made welcome, but their presence at this particular time caused ; the sturdy host additional uneasiness. Like all the very old people of her ■ race, Dinah was in lined to be garrulous, but to-night she fully appreciated the , importance of coming dLectly to the point. After getting the squire to examine ! the room in which they- were and the j rooms adjoining, and the outside of the , house, to make sure that wha she w r as j about to communicate could not be ■ overheard by ears for which it was not j intended, she made them gather about 1 her, and then told Ralph Denham’s 1 story, or rather, the story of hisextraor- { dinary adventure. During the narrative the squire now ; and then stopped her to offer an objection or to express incredulity; and at such times Untilla assured him of the ; perfect accuracy of everything the old woman was saying. । 4 P.alph Denham was as donr the - ">gquire as if he were b ; q son; ami i O - f o Mrs. Condit and Ellen ■ I towards him as if he did sustain ■ L. — relation to the family.

' \ and extends to the adjoining islands.” Baid Squire Condit, raising his hands an I feeling, as he let them fall heavily by his side, that his exclamation did i not exactly express what was on his . m nd. It did not take him long to get cooled down, and on occasions the squire could be as cool as an iceberg. “Something must be done, and that at once: let us see what it shall be.” This looked like an invitation for the ; Others to take part in the consultation ; that was then going on, but Squire Condit,

made all the motions, and d e°|^e d them carried, without waiting for the others . to give an opinion. In this conference it was decided that > Dinah and Untilla should at once jo back to the Captain, carrying with them additional arms and a compute disguise; and, after assuming th isdis guise, he was to make his way with all speed to the Squire's house, and take possession of his own old room ’Y berO l e must await further developments.

The Squire on hearing this had to bite his lips anil shake himself, so much did he yearn to shout at the top ol his voice: "That is a hideous, a monstrous lie!”

Captain Fox repeated his statement i in substance, and continued: “I ame here to witch Denhim, and I it was through my influence that he । went on my ship to New York; and it is ■ through my influence that ho is now a prisoner with his life in danger and his I ship under my orders.” Here was a most ingenious presentation of the actual truth put in such a way—for it deceived—as to make it a 1 lie. “You astound me!” said the Doctor, [ grasping his hat aith both hands to . keep his hair from throwing it off. “Say nothing about this for the pres- ' en..

Pardon me ; j for say.ng so, but I think Squire Con- ' ! ait is very much of a coneeite 1 ass.” Squire Condit bit his lips again, and 1 । mentally invoked heaven to help him [ in restraining his temper, which threat- , I ened to break loose and run away with him. । “Squire Condit means to do right,” 1 I said Doctor Hedges, still feeling some warmth for his old iriend, “but I often notice that those who have anything to । i do with the administration of law be- I 1 come contracted, and perhaps a bit ar- i I bitrary in their methods.

Study the plan of the grounds as a less- n at s hool, and the arrangements ; apparently so complex will be seen to । be very simple and • asily divisible into i groups, taking any point as a center. ; The west boundary line of Jackson Park is pierced by gates at every street, so that to reach the most remote part of the fair it is necessary to walk only the width of the grounds. On the lake front the entrance is at the south end through the casino. On the first day of a visit to the Fair, I or if I had but one day, I should go by water, see the great statue of the republic from the long pier, walk to the arch in the middle of the peristyle that connects the casino with the Music Hall and look up the grand court.

fWPl^^^^Ohe morning the forces nad been gathering at the saloons and groceries and every hour added to ’.he number. There was no recognized leader and the straggling throng, armed with clubs, knives, and revolvers, moved in Irregular lines, shouting, singing, and talking. The language i used was Polish. The persons to Le । driven cut by the organize 1 men were 1 the negro -s e nployed by contractors on the rock work of the canal. The white men have long objected to the colored men who were brought to ChL ag > from | the South. Protests availed little. Then , the strike followe 1. For three weeks i the n.en have held out, but the contrac- . tors have kept their colored help steadily employed. The whites made threats ; an I the contractors declared l.ey would . stand by ti e black n en from Alabama, 1 even if Winchesters an 1 Sher.ff’s posses were necessary. The first real trouble ; broke out the latter part of last week, and the Sheriff of Will County an 1 the Sheriff of Cook County were called on F|\ 0g ™ ! down aim in charge of other : Deputies. For at me the limited force ; was sufficient. The idle strikers spent the days in I drinking and talking over the trouble 1 until their grievances grew, to their ; thinking, intolerable. Threats were common and small riots b came frequent. When the Sheriff's m n came upon the scene th • strikers were aggravated, and declared that they would i clean out the officers of the law and 1 drive away he negro labor along the I entire length of the drainage canal. It . was for this purpose that the motley crowd left Lemont, expecting to meet ! the Sheriff s posse at every point. Cn I the way down the strikers received rei en orcements, and in some instances ; they stopped and compelled working- ! men to join them. > ired on the Strikers. 1 The vanguard of the strikers saw the deputy sheriff and his posse through a ! gap in the rough wall of stone and dirt, - and word went back. A few minutes i later the strikers had taken a position i behind the barrier an t were ready for i action. The deputies, fi ty in number, ■ were ali armed with Winchesters, and a 1 dozen of the sheriff’s men were mounted. A puff of smoke from the bank i that protected the strikers was followed by the report from a revolver, and a , bullet whistled uneasily -by the heads of the mounted men. Without waitins for the word of command the deputies returned the fire. At the time a dozen strikers were hurrying past the break in the wall. Three men pitched headi long into the dust. A shout greeted the volley, and a cloud of stones was , hustled over the barricade into the sqtia lof deputies. Several shots also ; answered the fire of the AVinchest rs. The str kin r quarrymen fell back. Their retreat soon became headlong confusion, and they rushed n adiy up the canal, fearful of the death-dealing bullets. i The van of the flying strikers reached Lemont, and the news of the conflict spread like wildfire. Soon the whole town was out, and express wagons and all sorts of conveyances were taken i down to gather up the wounded. Ali of them live in Lemont During the conflict the deputy sheriffs succeeded in capturing thirty-two of the strikers. Two of them, who were mortally woundI ed, dragged themselves into the woods 1 and died there. Several guns and re--1 volvers were captured by the deputies. The sheriffs of Cook and Will Counties. fearing further bloodshed, telegraphed Gov. Altgeld for troops to quell ■ the disturbance, and in response the , Governor issued an order for the Sec- • ond and Third Regiments to proceed ! immediately to the scene of the trouble and remain there until order was re- . stored.
