Suddenly, in the dusk, hfe attention •was attracted, to a figure that stood prominent in well-defined outline on the top of one of-the hills—tho form of i a stout :r.?.n, who for some time stood, j peering with his face turned in the direction of the Whitford house. Presently the fir trees at his back i wore } -!! t«. 1. I na<>ther,person joined the first coiner. The maun* rof these two . was peculiar. They were apparently I engaged in earnest conversation, and wliat struck Grey as i;; >-ty singular was that the stout 1 man again and again pointed at the window.of his Chand r, though, <if course, at that d!s’.::; <■ itwar, absurd to suppose they, could even bo aware of his presence there. Th':* contlft'.iid g> ■'•' ■elation cronsel In Jio "brea ,t of. th' young schoolmaster an anxiety he could not dispel— j a sort of before-it feeling he could not express, “Please, „Mr. Grey, mot her says," I called unpleasant voice, as the door of j the room g'-ufly cpvued, "are you ready for supper now';" .■ . ' “Come here, Elsie," eagerly request- > ed the young man. "Can your bright < ke out whdsare those-persons I on yon. kr biil7” \ The girl stood by kiln, with his hand j resting on her shoulder, peering out Into the gloom. .

John Whitford was out of sorts and more than half-repentant of his eonfl- • dential disclosures to his wife; Elsie was in a state of une?»mfi>rtable■■nervous-j seas; Mrs. Whitfield was cross aifd dis-: agreeable, and Grey was wrapt in conjoeturcs as’- to what that man ; Wixon and - the -flranger could have meant by theirpeculiar conduct, J and why ■ they should have made j such constant fsestural alluaion to him 4; self. What di-l it mean? lie was con- ■ tided t ‘that bo hn .1- formed ths topic of their conversation. “Bo ye goin’ to the s<:hule-hou«e tonight?"

A ship captain asked mt captain to ■end a royal marine to holystone ■ deck. ’No, sir,’ says he. 'The sailors have their duty, an' the royal marines have their duty; an’ the duty of the marines isn't to do the duty of the sailors.’ He was tried by a court-martial and they did thelr duty an’acquitted him.” “Very good, but—” “Your duty Us to teach the boy» an* gala There’s nothin’ in your commis■ion about drillin’a squad of adults in letters ’an figgers, an’ pot-hooks an’ hangers.

Right here in this northern psninsula of Michigan, where crude English thought is dominant, ws are behind the times. Where would the United States have been if such men as Wixon and the other members of our schoolboard had been at the head of its as- i i fairs?” “ Well, I’d mind my own business, if iWas youAn’ let—" “SiMfie the example, Mr, Whitford. Mind vour own affairs and yon will not get beyond the depth of your understanding.” ; With this dignified rebuke the young ! man left the room, and Mrs. Whitford solaced her spouse with the suggestion that those who played with edged tools ’ often cut their fingers. 4 Tills night school was a sors bone of contention in Oretown. A little mqre than a year ago the . bosses ruled like feudal barons, and J : now theirs way was threatened by a j whippersnapper of a boy who had come among them, nobody know whence nor eared, and by this and other such base gleans had alienated the allegiance of their yassels, who were actually beginning tb dare to think for them-J i selves.; ■ I And , thus it came about. j There was a barn-like building which had been umhl as a-*aloon and Canoe-.i house, but had ntlai.-Hki such evil repu- ! tatipn that the by no means fastidious morals of Oretown were shocked at its ! gross orgies, and by popular consent it- • had been closed. ' j . The process of ’ejectment had been . tn accordance with the em tojn,of the | j locality, A mob of infuriated women • and twsschievdus boys had gathered one evening and “cleanod out" tho pro-I i prietor, smashing his furniture and I fixtures and pouring his liquid poison ! into the gutter. On this ruin of vice and squalor Frank Grey built his great work of social reformation. With Ids own bands he tidied up the j place, mended the windows, put I rough tables and chairs, and boldly an-1 nounced that he would, without re-j | muneration, teach adults -reading. | ! writing and arithmetic three evenings a week. The local journal gave tho powerful , aid o? the- press to the enterprise in this bright jiaragrapht. “The young | man who-alings the ruler at the Ward I schoolhouse is opening a night school ; for adults. Guess he'll have his hands ; full.b fore he’s got.through.” | The. minister refused td cooperate i with him, the storekeepers laughed at him. tb.e bosses treated him. with open I ridicule. „■ 1 ■• ■ ■ But the class grew -from five to five-and-twenty; to forty, to a hundred—j.till at last he had to close his doors against the crowd of applicants. It Was a mutual aid association, those j who could nmil and write a little helping those who could not. “No swearing" and “No tobacco" were- the only written rules; while the class kept its n wn order, and absolute order, too, as, for instance, when Mike Donovan, the rough of the place, made a wager that he would break.np the school -oite even- | ing and•proA-e-led to uso insuVaiig lani gtiage to the teacher, a dozen strong : Lands sent him crashing through the window into the st rent Ih'lo w, and f- Tcv. r put ft stop to his further pursuits in the fields of literature’ Then another grievance. Out of the night school grew a cltib—a.harmless affair, where tobacco was allowed, and ■ \ coffee and numerous newspapers, and out of this club sprouted a branch , which bore tho deadly poison of rank social ism—at least, so said Capt. Petti(i grub Wixon. This was the’Talking j club, as Grey bad christened it, at whose meetings were discussed simple questions of social or political Interest j From bad they got to worse, irntil one ! Saturday morn>ng-T-for the Talking ■ club held it ings on Saturday evenings -It was whispered abroad thttt the delicate questions as to whether it was right for the mbicra to pay the bosses' store one dollar for a forty- • Cent article, the <a .euil-V lawfully coptml them to take I their remuneration in store pay, ami : whether they were obliged to give a - month's credit for their labor, would be discussed. - •; ■ ' With these revolutionary projects confronting them, the upperteudom of Oretown united in one common determination to crush the viper they had nourishcxl in their bosoms, the young anarchist who had brought this evil I uta.te to pass. ' ' p j CHAPTER Xtt j THE GREAT XtGHT SCHOOL OF CRETOWX. i Mr. Comnimsioncr Eaton, in his elaborate repirts from ■ the Washington bureau of euucatiou. condescended not to notice tho night school of Oretown. Yet here was a great and curious’factor in the educational elements of the counter. I Inside the gaunt building were gathered some hundred miners, chiefly Emr- . lish and Swc<les, with here and there a I native American. They were formed J I into classes, some spelling in ponder- ■ I ous earnest nesseasy words, some wrest-1 i ting manfully with the mysteries of | arithmetic, some laboriously poring over tho page of a primer, and some compelling their unpliant fingers to guide a pen over the mazy page of a child's copybook, but all strangely and sternly in earnest Eight or ten teachers were scattered I around the room. They were miners, who bad little learning, or wl»o liad themselves been pupils of the scbo-?l. One was exceptional. Ho was a broad-shouldered, strong, athletic fellow, better dressed than the rest, but rough and uncouth in hte manner. This man. Jack Wilders, was , Frank Grey's mainstay, or, as he him- i self styled it, “the professor's right bower.” Jack was by profession a “prospect- i or." who had traveled in Use service of the companies every acre of that wild region in search of ore, and having invested his hard-won wages most advantageously, now found himself at thirtyfive years of age In an independent po- • sltion. Jack was no sybarite. He was a hard i drinker and a rough liver, but down in i the depths of his heart was a refining ■ spot that leavened his whole nature—- ’ an intense love for his little brightl eyed wife and his curly-headed boy of ’ five years. It was through an accident that befell this latter idol of his afifec- ‘ tion that, to use his own words, he ■ “caught on" to the schoolmaster. i One day little Willie Wilders was at- • tackcd.by a big angry cur belonging to ■ Wixon, when Grey, who happened to be passing, came to the rescue, and • saved the child from anything worse , than a wound in the leg. While the i little sufferer lay crying on his bed the f father, all tenderness, Vras his constant > nurao. He never left the child’s cooeh, . save when, gun in hand, he went to

Wlxonb house and shot the dog dead on his master’s doorstep. From that day Wilders was Grey’s , friend. That was how he cane to be vice-principal of the Oretown night school. » • Usually when the exercises were over . the men _departed quietly, but this night they remained in their seats, and when Grey looked inquiringly, and old greybeard rose and said. “Mr. Grey an’ mates: Me and Tom Bingham has got the sack, an’ for no other reason than because we told Capt. Wixon we warn’t goin’to leave off ’tending this here school, an’ we , wor ogoin* to vote the republican or the demycrutic ticket, just as ve set our fancies, cri ’em." “There must be some mistake," Grey ' said, risiufrt hurriedly and speaking ■nervously. “Capt. Wixon cannot have ; understood our efforts, and as for attamptl!' ,' to r -sirain in this free and ; . enlightenc:! country the liberty of a man’s cons cience, his ; olitical birth1 right , his—" - But a roar of bantering laughter stayed t he speaker's eloquence. "Boys, listen to me.” It was Wilders who si- >kv now. “I’ve l -ecn watching J ; the. run of things for some time, and : I've come to the conclusion that we’ve | ' got to have a change. It was bound to; I ■ come. They don’t want no light of | i education let into this region. They i i don’t want no brains. They want I ’ st rong arms an* stout loins as will toil an’get money for them. They’ll do all the thinking for you. They appoint j their own township and county officers, they own the newspapers, they send . one of themselves to congress, and if j sonic poor devil of a minister, as someI times happens, dares to open hts lips against the system, ho quickly finds his 1 lies cut off. Now, what are you going to do about it?” ■ Just at this-moment a knock came to 1 the door, and a lx>y handed a letter to ; Grey, who, casting his eyes over it, seemed for the moment lost in thought. “My friends," he said, after a moi meat's reverie, “I hold in my hand -ffl “ME AXD TOM BIWGHAM HAS GOT THX ■ SACK.’’ . hero a letter from the proprietor of this building giving me notice to quit possession on Wednesday next, though our agreement stipulated for three months’ r. • • ?. :1 saying that, if he Lad known wo were going to teach communism, he would never have let it to us. AVhat does it mean? If we have taught cosnmunism/tt has been from the text books these, very men have placed in the hands of vour little ones.” j “It means ” r<arcd the prospector, as he smote with< mighty hand the desk before him, r 'thst you shall grovel in. your ignorance ail the days of your lives, and the bosses of Oretown' have nothing that interferes with their nmhing things their way au i doing all your thinking for you." A growl of discontent rang round the room, and . more than one rough orator rose in clamorous protest, but the BCliocdmaster, with a wave of his hand, stilled them, and said sternly: “My friends. Ict us make haste slowly. Bet us deliberate before we express ourselves.” . “That's so!" cried the prospector. “Then to pct things into shipshape, I move that wo meet again on Monday ’night to discuSs the question." A unanimous "Aye! aye!" settled.the matter, and the meeting dispersed. “Before you go,” said Wilders «to Grey, “I have a word to say. Have you counted the cost? Sitting square down on a hornets’ nest won't be a circsimstance to the fix you'll find yourself in, if you go ahead in this business.” "I shall do lav duty." -•‘Well, I'm with you.” ! “But. Jack, I am assured that you exaggerate the state of affairs. It is incredible that such tyranny can exist in this free land." "Why, bless yonr innocent heart, this free, and independent country is full of spots as uflwholesome as this cesspool of an Oretown. When capital gets labor by the throat, justice squeals," “What a grand lot would be his who bad the power of tongue and pen to r> j deem this mass of corruption," Grey said,, with a hungry look in his eyes, j Wilders grinned. “Not a bad move, I see. Start a paper, go cm the stump, give the monopolies an all-fired raising out-, and you'll end in'a trip to Washington and a hatful of greenbacks." “You mistake me.” “Not I—you’re green now, but If you hang on to’politics, you’ll soon get your eyes skinned." “I will study this great problem of social life, and balance my actions by reading the. experiences' of the great leaders of modern thought." “And. you've made up your mind to ■ raise Cain in Oretown?" "I have counted the cost. Dear friend, good night." _■ v J. ITO BE CCXTIXVSUI , A Hunter’s I'er!lou» Position. While hunting in the Big Horn mountains two men found a narrow path, little more than a deer trail, leading up to the summit. They dismounted and led their horses, moving very cautiously, for on one side the mountain rose up like a wall, and on the other sloped down a thousand feet to the canyon below. Suddenly both horses pricked up their cars as if scenting a wild beast. Then there came a shot from the hunter in advance, and the hunter In the rear found himself hanging over the cliff.

RHEUMATISM. From the Newt, Hutchinson, Kansas. This summer, while a representative of the Hutchinson, Kansas, AVicr, was taking his vacation he had occasion to visit the thriving little City of Peru, 111. lie had hardly bad lime to shake hands with friends in the city before he was told of the wonderful cure of Mrs. Godrge Perry of rheumatism. Every one that has ever lived in Peru, 111., knows Beacon George Perry and wife. They have lived there forty years, and being active workers in the church and kind, obliging neighbors, they are both well known and universally loved. The representative being always on the look out for news and wonderful cures called on Deacon Perry and wife the second day after his arrival. He was met at the door by Mrs. Perry, an old lady now over seventy years of age. He told her bluntly that he had heard that she had been recently cured of rheumatism and asked for her story, which she readily gave, expressing a desire that she wished that the world at large should know of her good fortune. She said: “About three years ago 1 was taken down I with the grip ;>eand suffered nearly air winter. After the grippe left me I was taken with the rheumatism. I could absolutely do no work, and‘for over a year I was so bad I could not pick a pin off'thc floor. I had the town physicians doctor me and I tried many remedies, but none of them seemed to do me any good for any length of time. At last my husband noticed tui article in a paper nboyt a ■•wonderful cure brought about by the use of Pink Pills for rheumatism, and I I determined to try once more. I used only six boxes of Flak Pills, ami long before I took the last box 1 was nearly as wel l as you see me to-day. I.now do all my own housework, although I am over seventy tears of | age, and I have no words at my’command | to express my gratitude to the manufactur- i ers or Pink Fills, for without their medicine 1 I am satisfied 1 would still be laid up with I 1 rheumatism, and not only been a sufferer but been unable to do any work.” Mrs. Perry's Story can be substantiated by hundreds’of citizens of La Salle County, 111., for her wonderful cure is one of the much talked of Subjects in that locality. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves.

Bubbles or Medals. “ Best sarsaparillas.” When you think of it how contradictory that term is. For there can be only one best in anything—one best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, one longest river, one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is -? .... There’s the rub! You can measure mountain height and ocean depth, but how test sarsaparilla ? You could, if you were chemists. But then, do you need to test it ? The World’s Fair Committee tested it, —and thoroughly. They went behind the label on the bottle. What did this sarsaparilla test result in? Every make of sarsaparilla shut out of the Fair, except Ayer’s. So it was that Ayer’s was the ortly sarsaparilla admitted to the World’s Fair. The committee found it the best. They had no room for anything that was not the best. And as the best, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla received the medal and awards due its merits. Remember the word “ best ”is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those others are blowing more “best sarsaparilla” bubbles since the World’s Fait pricked the old ones. True, but Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has-the medal. The pin that scratches the medal proves it gold. The pin that pricks the bubble proves it wind. We point to medals, not bubbles, when we say; The best sarsaparilla is Ayer’s.
