In the event of a strike occurring in the works of one of them an investigation is made by a commit tee representing tho association and if it is decided the strike was declared unjustly the idle factory is indemni fied from the fund. On the other hand, if the committee finds the cause of the strikers just there is no indem nity. In the Fowler’s SnaraM: By M. B. MANWEU CHAPTER V.—(Continued.) “Yes,” Gervis spoke, w!.h a certain amount of stiffness. He li1 undoubt edly sought his young wife and won her for her wealth; but, apart from that fact, he was determined to inako her a loyal and devoted husband. Al ready it hurt him that money and the ■ acred name of wife should be roughly bra; kctcd together. ‘ And did you know my wife, then, as Miss Fairweather?" Gervis asked, after a silence, while the two stood and surveyed the limitless expanse o' white waste around them, with its boundaries of forest-covered, bear-in fested hills. "No; I never saw her until last night in the ear. She is very young, and seems to be a high-strung nature. Ts that so?” Paul waited for an an swer. 11 think she is.” Gervis slightly hesitated. In truth, though he would not have confessed it, Gladdy’s nature was as yet an unknown country to him. "Very imaginative, and given to al ternate fits of depression and gaiety?” Paul went on. Then he hastily added: "I ask your pardon. You see, it i3 part of my trade to anayize human charac ter. I am alway3 doing it—sometimes unconsciously. 1 dare say you think me an ill-conditicut-u Goth, and I hard ly venture to request an introduction to Mrs. Templeton.” Paul Ansdell turned his face toward Gervis, and there was a new expres sion in it. The old sneer had died out, or had been smoothed carefully away. His dark, deep eyes looked straight into the Englishman's face, and there was a certain wistfulness in them. "I have made up my mind already about you—we all have,” quickly said honest Gervis, holding out his band in ail simplicity to the other. ”\Ve owe our lives to you, and each one of us ' would esteem it an honor to call you ' friend.” There was a hearty British ring In the words that spoke for their genu ineness. ‘‘You are very good," quietly observ ed the scientist. But the sneer had come into his eyes once more, and he turned the conversation abruptly to the situation in which the trainful of human beings found themselves. "If you had not been in such a hurry to get back to England I could have ■ Shown you some pretty sport yonder." i He pointed to the rocky fastnesses in j the distance. The falling snow had ; stopped, and overhead was a brilliant | blue. A stiff wind had got up, howl- \ itig and swirling the snow into deep ' drifts. "Beal's, I suppose?" said Gervis. "Just what I should have liked if— well, under other circumstances. I dare say you could tell one some yarns about the grizzlies yonder?” Paul Andsell nodded brieilly, and the two men turned to retrace their steps to the little prairie station. "Do you live in Montreal, then? Is it your home?" "I have no home," was the brief re joinder. ‘I suppose 1 am what you call a cosmopolitan—one who makes a nest in every one of the world's great cities. But here we are hack at the prairie station. The weather's clear ing. so I suppose our people will start on their way.” In the station and round the cars there was a stir of excitement, and people were getting aboard the train, j There is my wife! She is standing at the window cf the car!" Gervis caught sight of a little figure ; in a pale green and gold brocade tea- | gown, trimmed with yellow lace. It was Gladdy, and her small pink : aud white face, with its pointed chin, was now bent toward them as she gaz ed downward at the two men. She was waving a little white hand in welcome to her husband; but when she caught sight of his companion her face blanched, and she shrank back from the window, at which Paul Ans dell frowned at once. Two minutes later, however, he was bowing before her as Gervis introduced him. "We had a jolly good tramp, Glad dy, Mr. Ansdell and I, over the hard snow. It has made me as hungry as possible. And, if it had not been for your small ladyship, I shouldn't have come back. I’d have gone after the grizzlies in the mountain, yonder; hut I warn you that next, year I shall come back to pot a ]>ear or two, and leave you at Temple-Dene." Gervis laid a kindly hand on the slight little shoul der. Gladdy looked up timidly, and, to her surprise, Mr. Andsell had taken out a pocketbook crammed with snap shots, which he proceeded to show and explain :.o Gervis, taking no fur ther notice of her. If the stranger wished to restore the young bride's confidence, he could not have devised a better mode of do ing so. Before the end of the day Gladdy was he:**!lf again, gay and lightheart ed. She and her husband and Paul Andsell were the merriest, friendliest trio on board the cars speeding through the snow over the vast Cana dian Pacific railway. And despite all their forebodings o' evil, the train made a safe and speedy trip to its destination. CHAPTER VI. Nothing- builds up a friendship be | tween man and man like being thrown together in untoward circumstances. Before their journey ended at Mon treal, Paul Andsell had become almost intimate with the Templetons. Gladdy's strange shrinking and ter ror of the scientist had entirely worn off, simply because he had ceased to bestow the faintest attention to her dainty person. His eyes never by any chance rested upon her. ‘‘1 might be a cow or wax doll for all the notice your fine philosopher give's to me!” the girl-bride said. “Oh, well, you can't expect to have dry-as-dust scientific fellows in your train, my dear,” said Gervls mildly. “You must he content with ordinary men, such as your humble servant, for slaves, 1 don't suppose Andsell, poor old chap, knows a pretty face from a plain one.” “I'm not so sure about that,” skep tically said the bride. “Why, I should not be surprised If he has a wife of his own here in Montreal!" “Not he,” carelessly said Gervis. "He's a woman-hater, I should im agine. His bride is science, to which lie seems to have given himself up body and soul. You should see his diggings, Gladdy! Never saw such a collection of weird and extraordinary inventions in my life. He took me there last evening, and you don't see me going again to such a creepy place. Why, he has got his coffin, all spick and span and ready for occupation, in one corner, and In the hall, instead of a hatstapd, he has actually got a skele ton, braced up with iron, on the arms of which the crazy old chap hangs his hat. There, my dear, I ought not to have told you that!” Gladdy had gone quite white. “Look here, I am going to take you to the ice carnival tonight, and tomor row we start for old England. And— did I toll you, Gladdy? Andsell has suddenly made up his mind to go with us. There’s something—some elixir— to be got only in London from some old wizard of an east end chemist, and Andsell must have it to complete some marvelous scientific invention he means to patent. So I've asked him down to Temple-Dene to sp; nd Christ mas. We owe him some little atten tion for all he did for us that awful i night of the fire.” That evening, however, Gervls Tem pleton went to the ice carnival alone. Gladdy, when quite ready to start out with him, was seized with an unac countable chill and trembling. “You’ve taken cold,” sai l G-'.rvis practically, ‘‘that’s what it iu Now. you just stay quietly at home and cos- ! set yourself up, or we shall ha\e to remain behind tomorrow.” Gladdy, thankful enough of the rest and quiet, lay back in a low chair In the private sitting room the Temple tons had secured. Her eyes were hid den under their soft, white lids; but Gladdy was not asleep. Strange visions and stranger thoughts were whirling through her brain; and her email hands lay limply in her lap, their wax- j en whiteness intensified by the violet satin of her evening gown. It was not cf her own simple past, nor yet of the wonderful happiness that had coma to her so lately that ; Gladdy was dreaming. Instead, dark, ; fantastic shapes and visions came and j went, succeeded by grim forebodings. Never a strong girl, Gladdy, since the night of the fire in the snow shed, had drooped strangely. It was as if the springs of life within her were broken. The shock might or might not have done the mischief; but it was there nevertheless. As she iay back with closed eyes and whitened cheeks there was a distinct change on the round young face. So thought somebody who had come, stepping softly over the thick, rich car pet, close to the little figure reclining in the low chair—so softly that Glad dy did not open her blue eyes. Indeed, the white lids closed down tightly over them, perhaps because a hand with long, thin fingers was waving slowly to and fro in front of them. In a few seconds Gladdy was in a deep, motionless sleep, and standing looking down upon her out of his dark, unfathomable eyes, was Paul Andsell. who, on hearing from the black waiter I that Mr. Templeton had gone out to the ice carnival, stepped upstairs to pay his respects to Mrs. Templeton. Pending dose down until his lips neared her pink ear, Paul, in a mon otonous voice, recited a sort of state- I ment. He spoke In carefully measured tones, as if anxious that not the j merest syllable should be slurred over. The room was still and quiet, an;1 ! Gladdy slept on tranquilly, whPe Paul looked round him for something he wanted. Reaching ever, he drew towards him a Japanese screen, and fixed it p irtly between the sleeping girl and a little i table, on which were writing materi ; als. Then he spread out a blank sheet i of white paper, and then lifted first a pen, then a pencil troni the writing j table. "No," lie muttered, "I've something better still!" And fro n his waistes it pocket he drew a stylographlc pen, j which he gently placed between the i thumb and finger of the little limn hand of the girl. "Gladdy," he whispered distinctly — "awake, Gladdy!" The girl stirred uneasily. "Write down word for word what you heard me say a few mintues ago." This time Paul's voice in it a note of command, almost ot menace; unit iuaiantiy Uladdy sat up straight, with the pen held firmly in h w fingers. Her eyes were wide open and sleep had flown. Edging the screen a little forward, Paul got It adjusted so that (Baddy did not eee tho sheet cf blank paper, then lie gi ntly guided her hand around the edge of the screen and placvd it upou the paper. "Write!’' h« sn!;l, harshly, and Glad dy obeyed. But from her position she could not see what she was writ ing. Presently, as Paul’s dark eyes in tently watched the motionless pen in tho slim, small fingers, It moved. Glad dy was wdting something carefully, and in a slow, painstaking manner, much as a child under the eya of a master would do. And while she wrote Paul watched her breathlessly. On, on the pen trav eled over the sheet. Glady's handwriting was small and upright and unlovely, the handwriting of the up-to-date girl of today. Paul’s breath grew labored r* he watched the pen moving. He could have dash ed off the sentence In half the time; but then between Gladdy and himself there was at least a quarter of a cen tury in age. At last the end of the page was reached, and the stylograph ic pen dropped from the limp, white fingers. "Sign it! Sign your fall name!” The command came In breathless syllables, as thougli tho speaker was greatly excited. The pen was instantly lifted. There was just room for the brief signature—Gladys Templeton. Then, with a low sigh of exhaustion, the girl slipped backward into her chair, and Paul Andsell, after carefully blotting the sheet of paper, folded it and placed it iu n:s poeitetnooK. “I must get the names of a couple of witnesses, and the thing's done! Put that’s an easy matter in Montreal.” As silently as he came Paul Andsell departed. Down the wide staircase he sped, and out into the clear, white stillness of the starry night, his dark eyes blazing with a strange, triumph ant light. “Is it you, Paul? You have come home?” A sweet, vibrating voice called out gently as his latchkey opened the door of the little suite of rooms or flat which he called home in the gay city of Montreal. "Yes, 1 have come, Diana; and I have good news—rare, good news for you." A large, golden haired woman, with a milk-white skin, came out of one ; of the rooms opening into tile hall, where the skeleton loomed quaint and t hideous. She was Paul Andsell’s wife. Gladdy had been right In her sur-! mise; but Mrs. Andsell was not a I happy wife, to judge by her dejected,' limp appearance. Years ago when Paul first saw Dl- j ana standing in front of the little New ; England homestead that nestled under ; the great maple trees, lie had thought her the prettiest girl this world held. The poor, shabby, little house was dig-, nltied by the morning glories that' climbed all over it, purple and pink ; and white, making a dainty back ground f r the girl's fairness. It was a picture that stirred the man’s im agination rather than bis heart. Already vast possibilities were loom ing for the scientific explorer. Here, in this vision of womanly fairness, he saw a valuable assistant for his enter prise. Put Paul Andsell had made great strides since the clays when his mas terful will took Diana from hpr sim ple home, and from her first love, to make her his wife and his tool. No i longer for him did the humble pro vincial exhibitions of his mesmeric skill and his power over the minds of others suffice. Higher flights were to day his aim, and more than one ab truse work on hypnotism bore bis name on its title page. To be continued.) WORTH IMITATING. Indians or tlie Omaha Tribe Train Tlieii Children. Mr. Francis La Flesche, an Omaha Indian, has recently published an ac count of the training of children in the tepees of that tribe. Xo child is permitted to interrupt an elder per son, or to pass between two persons who are speaking,” says the author, ”still less to come between them and the Arc. We were strictly enjoined never to stare at strangers, nor to ad dress any oiip by his personal name without a title.

County Kerry—the highest mountain in Ireland—with a gradient of one foot in live feet on a road 12 feet wide and on a t.on weight Daimler car Is a rath er e xciting performance, but it lias just been accomplished by K. J. Mecredy and Dr. Coiohan, two enthusiastic mo torists from Dublin, who performed a Jcmrney of from S00 to 1,000 miles on their big Lalmior cars In the south of Ireland recently, says the London Ex press. Mr. Mecredy gives us an inter esting account of the experience. The test was the severest for a motor car in the British Isles, and when half way up they almost repented their fol ly in attempting it, taking into ac count that the cars were valued at $5,000 and that they had nine passen gers to reckon with, and there were va rious interesting problems to consider as to the behavior of huge vehicles weighing over a ton each on gradients which horse-drawn vehicles rarely tackle. The route up the mountain side was zig zag, bordering on a preci pice, and there was therefore no turn ing back, as it would he impossible to steer a car backward down a two mile slope without running the risk nt the first curve of dashing over tilt road into the valley of rocks far be neath. At the stiff portion of the as cent he thought it prudent to let the passengers dismount and walk, as there was little hope of their safety if anything gave way at a critical mo ment. The engines of Mr. Mecredy’s car went steadily-up the slope, though the rough-shingle gave the wheels, scarcely any road nold, and it looked at times as if the gust of wind would stop the engine and bring the car to a standstill. It was a moment of relief when he reached the summit. I)r. Colo han’s car had the latest Improvements in mechanism and took the hills well at a good rate. These were the first motor ears to cross the Ballaghbcoma Pass in County Kerry. IMMITATIVE RABBIT. Peculiar Affinity Shown by ISiinuy for :i Chummy Feline. Dogs aiul rats have been known to become fast friends, but for a cat ana a rabbit to become inseparable com panions is out of the ordinary, says the Denver Republican. It. Ik Jones of 130 Archer street has a rabbit and a cat which are boon companions. The rabbit belonged to a neighbor of Jones. One day it strayed into the Jones yard and got acquainted with the cat. Tho admiration was mutual. They became the best of friends, and from the min ute the rabbit met the cat it has not been to Us own home. For more than a year the two have been together in a box in the rear of the yard. The tat will not play with other cats, but makes a companion only of the rabbit. They romp about the yard together, and now and then the cat will climb a tree. When it does the rabbit will run around tho tree and attempt to join the cat. Until tho cat comes back to tho ground the rabbit is nervous. The dogs of the neighborhood have learned to keep out of the Jones yard For one to come into the yard and ap proach the rabbit is canine suicide The cat bristles up at once and makes it so unpleasant for the intruder that he is always glad to scale the fence and get in the street. The Atomic Theory, Prof. Henry Leffman took for a spe cial subject in his course on chemistry at the Wagner Institute “The Atomic Theory," says the Philadelphia Times. Most scientists, lie said, regard all matter as made up of minute inde structible particles, to which the term “atom" is applied. Any combination of atoms is called a “molecule.” This view is very old, being set fortli in some of the Greek writings morp than two thousand years ago, but it has been elaliorated and investigated with in this century. John Dalton (1766 1844) was the founder of the modern phase. Within the lust fifty years the view that the particles of matte:’, es pecially in gases, are in constant, rap id motion, has been generally accepted. This, known as the “kinetic theory,” was also foreshadowed in the earliest speculations. The approximate size of atoms has been indicated by several investigators, but of the shape or ap pearance notiiing is known. Many bodies are much changed by being finely divided. Important T«eHtimoiiy Omitted. An ex-justice of the peace tells the following story: During the time he was in office a young man was brought up before him on the charge of gambling. The evidence was con clusive, and the judge imposed a flue, which was paid on the spot. When the case adjourned, the defendant re mained behind and asked the judge for a few moments' conversation. “Th* case is over,” lie began, "and tin* fine has been paid and it's settled so far as that gees, but I want to tell you how it happened.
