CHAPTER I
RED JASON
Now the facts of this history must
jrtride on some four years and come
to a great crisis in the lives of Greeba
and Jason Every event of that time
seemed to draw these two together and
-the first of i the circumstances that
3ound them came very close on the
death of Stephen Qrry Only a few
minutes after Greeba at the bidding of
Ber two brothers Stean and Thurston
Sad left Jason alone with the dying
man she had parted from them with
out word or warning and fled back
to the little hut in With
a wild laboring- of heart panting for
Breath and full of dread she had burst
the door open fearing to see what she
dare not think of but instead of the
evil work she looked for she had found
Jason oh his knees by the bedside sob
Sing as if his heart would break and
Stephen Orry passing away with a tend
er light in his eyes and a word of bless
ing on his lips At that sight she had
stood on the threshold like one who
is transfixed and how long that mom
ent had lasted she never knew But the
thing she remembered next was that
Jason had taken her by the hand and
drawn her up with all the fire of her
spirit gone to were the man lay dead
before them and had made her sweai
to him there and then never to speak
si what she had seen and to put away
drom her mind forever the vague things
ahe had but partly guessed After that
3e had told her with a word of pain
that Stephen Orry had been his father
that his father had killed his mother
Ty hase neglect and cruelty that to
wipe out his mothers wrongs he had
vowed to slay his father and that his
lather not knowing him save in the
Tision of of his delirium had died in
She act of blessing him Greeba had
jielded to Jason because she had been
conquered by his stronger will and
was in fear of the passion which
hashed in his face but hearing all
tfiis she remembered Michael Sun
Ibeks and how he must stand as the
son of the other woman and straight
way she found her own reasons why
she should be silent on all that she
Bad that night seen and heard This
3ecret was the first of the bonds be
tween them and the second though
less obvious was even more real
Losing no time Adam Fairbrother
lad written a letter to Michael Sun
Jocks by that name telling him of the
death of his father and how so far
as the facts were known the poor man
came by it in making the port in his
toat after seeing his son away in the
jacket This he had dispatched to the
only care known to him that of the
Lord Bishop Peterson at his Latin
School of Reykjavik but after a time
the letter had come back with a note
irom the Bishop saying that no such
name was known to him and no such
student was under his charge Much
afraid that the same storm that had led
Stephen Orry to his end had overtaken
Michael Sunlocks also Adam Fair
Brother had then promptly re addressed
Sisletter to the care of the Govemor
General who was also the Postmaster
and added a postscript asking if after
She sad event whereof he had thought
vtbis task in love and duty to apprise
Sim there was the same necessity that
his dear boy should remain in Iceland
But Indite me a few lines without de
Say he wroie giving me assurance
ofyour safe arrival for what has hap
pened of late days has haunted me with
many fears of mishap
Then in due course an answer had
come from Michael Sunlocks saying
ie badi landed safely but there being
ao regular mails he had been compelled
to await the sailing of English ships to
carry his letters that by some error
Se had missed the first of these and
was now writing by the next thai
many strange things had happened to
Sim and he was lodged in the house
of the Governor General that his
fathers death had touched him very
deeply being- brought about by a mischance
affected him
nearly
chance that so
self that the sad fact so far from
Seaving him free to return home seemed
ts make it the more necessary that he
should remain where he was until he
2taddone hat he had been sent to do
and finally that what that work was
ne could not tell in a letter but only
by word of mouth whenever it pleased
God that they should meet again This
with many words of affection for Adam
himself in thanks for his fatherly
anxiety and some mention of Greeba
in tender but guarded terms was the
sum of the only letter that had come
from Michael Sunlocks in the four years
after Stephen Orrys death to the first
of the events that are now to be
recorded
And tnroughout these years Jason had
lived at Lague having been accepted
as housemate by the six Fairbrothers
when the ship broken men had gone
their ownways on receiving from their
Dublin owners the wages that were due
to them Though his relation to Stephen
Orry had never become known it had
leaked out that he had come into Orrys
money He had done little work His
chief characteristics had been love of
liberty and laziness In the summer he
had fished on the sea and in the rivers
and he had shot and hunted in the
winter He had followed these pursuits
out of sheer love of an idle life but
if he had a hobby it was the collect
ing of birds Of every species on the
island of iland or seafowl he had
found a specimen He stuffed his birds
with some skill and kept them in the
little hut in
The four years had developed his
superb physique and he had grown to
be a yet more magnificent creature
than Stephen Orry himself He was
rounder though his youth might have
pardoned more angularity broader and
more upright with a proud poise of
head long wavy red hair smooth
cheeks solid white teeth face of broad
lines an intelligent expression and a
deep voice that made the mountain ring
His dress suited well his face and figure
He wore a skin cap with a peak a red
woollen shirt belted about the waist
breeches of leather leggings and sea
mans boots The cap was often awry
and a tuft of red hair tumbled over
his bronzed forehead his shirt was
tornn his breeches were stained and
his leggings tied with rope but rough
and even ragged as his dress was it
sat upon him with a fine rude grace
With a knife in his sheath a net or a
decoy over his arm a pouch for powder
slung behind him a fowling piece across
his shoulder and a dog at his heels
he would go away into the mountains
as the evening fell And in the early
gleams of sunrise he would stride down
again and into the Hibernian scent
ing up the old tavern with his to
bacco smoke and carrying many dead
birds at his belt with the blood still
dripping from their heads hung down
Folks called his Red Jason or some
times Jason the Red
He began to visit Government
House Freeba was there but at first
he seemed not to see her Simple greet
ings he exchanged with her and that
was all the commerce between them
With the Governor when work was
over he sat and smoked telling of his
r own country and its laws and the ways
of its people talking of his hunting
and fishing calling the mountains Jo
kulls and the Tynwald the Loberg anc
giving names of his own to the glens
the Chasm of Ravens for the Dhoon
and Broad Shield for Ballaglass Ana
Adam loved to learn how close was the
bond between his own dear isle and
the land of the great sea kings of ola
time but most of all he listened U
what Jason said that he might thereby
know what kind of world it was where
in his dear lad Michael Sunlocks hac
to live away from him
A fine lad Adam Fairbrother
would say to Greeba a lad of fearless
courage and unflinching contempt of
death with a great horror of lying- and
treachery and an inborn sense of jus
tice Not tender and gentle with his
strength as my own dear Sunlocks is
but of a high and serious nature and
having passions that may not be trifled
with And hearing this and the more
deliberate warning- of her brothers at
Lague Greeba would remember that
she had herself the best reason to
know that the passions of Jason would
be terrible
But nothing she recked of it all lor
her heart was as light as her manners
in those days and if she thought twice
of her relations with Jason she re
membered that she was the daughter
of the governor and he was only a
poor sailor lad who had been wrecked
off their coast
Jason was a great favorite with Mrs
Fairbrother notwithstanding that he
did no work Rumor had magnified
the fortune that Stephen Orry had left
him and the two hundred pounds
stood at two thousand in her eyes
With a womans quick instinct she saw
how Jason stood towards Greeba al
most before he had himself become con
scious of it and she smiled on him
and favored him A whisper of this
found its way from Lague to Govern
ment House and old Adam shook his
head He had nothing against Jason
except that the lad was not fond oi
work and whether Jason was poor o
rich counted for very little but he
could not forget his boy Sunlocks
Thus while Greeba remained with her
father there was but little chance that
she could wrong the promise she had
made to Michael but events seemed to
force her into the arms of Jason Her
mother had never been of an unselfish
spirit and since parting from her hus
band she had shown a mean penuri
ousness This affected her six son
chiefly and they realized that when
she had taken their side against their
father she had taken the cream of their
living also Lague was now hers for
her lifetime and only theirs after she
was done with it and if they asked
much more for their work than bed
and board she reminded them of this
and bade them wait Soon tiring of
their Lenten entertainment they
trooped off one after one to their
father badly as they had dealt by him
and complained loudly of the great
wrong he had done them when he made
over the lands of Lague to their moth
er What were they now though sonn
of the Governor No better than hindn
on their mothers farm expected to
work for her from light to dusk and
getting nothing for their labor but the
house she kept over their heads Growr
men they all were now and the elde
of them close on their prime yet none
were free to marry for none had the
right to a penny for the living he
earned and all this came of thelj
fathers unwise generosity
Old Adam could not gainsay them
and he would not reproach them so he
did all that remained to him to do and
that was to exercise a little more of
the same unwise generosity and give
them money And finding this easj
means of getting what they wanted
they came again and again all six oi
them from Asher to Gentleman John
ny and as often as they came they
went away satisfied though old Adam
shook his head when he saw how mean
and small was the spirit of his sons
Greeba also shook her head but from
another cause for though she grudged
her brothers nothing she knew that
her father was fast beipg impoverished
Once she hinted as much but old Adam
made light of her misgivings saying
that if the worst came to the worst he
still had his small salary and what was
the good of his money if he might not
use it and what was the virtue oi
charity if it must not begin at home
But the evil was not ended there for
the six lumbering men who objected to
work without pay were nothing loth
to take pay without work Not long
after the first of the visits to Gov
ernment House Lague began to be neg
lected
Asher lay in the ingle and dozed
Thurstan lay about in the Hibernian
and drank Ross and Stean started a
ring of gamecocks Jacob formed a nesl
of private savings and John developed
his taste for dress and his appetite for
gallantries Mrs Fairbrother soon dis
covered the source of the mischief and
railed at the name of her husband who
was ruining her boys and bringing her
self to beggary

vVORRY A SOURCE OF INDIGESTON
Worry is a baneful curse and source
of untold evils It seams the face with
lines and furrows and has a most de
pressing effect upon that hypersensi
tive organ the stomach which at such
times becomes a most unwilling and
laggardC servant Indeed it is safe to
say that unless encouraged by a cheer
ful temper and bright or at least
hopeful thoughts the stomach will play
truant or sulk and do not work which
it can shirk The physiological expla
nation of this is the close alliance of
the great sympathetic nerves which
are worse than the telegraph for car
rying bad news the worry and anx
iety which depress the brain produce
simultaneously a paralysis of the
nerves of the stomach gastric juices
will not flow and presto there is in
digestion One sign of mental health
is serenity of temper and a self-control
that enables us to bear with equan
imity and unruffled the petty trials and
jars of life especially those arising
from contact with scolding irascible
irritating1 folks It is well to remem
ber at such times that these unfortun
ates are their own worst enemies and
a cultivation of the art of not hearing
will help us very much It is a very
useful art all through life and well
worth some trouble to acquire Dem

RIGHT WAY TO REMOVE GLOVES
Do not take a glove off carelessly if
you desire it to last well In taking off
turn the wrist over the fingers and
draw until the fingers are half uncov
ered then the finger ends may be loos
ened by the tips This makes it an
easy matter to readjust the glove right
side out It is a good plan to breathe
in a glove after taking it off It pre

AN
END
THE BIG PENNSYLVANIA STRIKE
IS PARTIALLY OVER
HE MINERS WIN OUT
MenWIU Return To Work With Such
Companies As Have Posted
Notices of the Raise
Hazelton Pa Special The follow
ing statement was given out for publi
cation by President Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers
Temporary Headquarters United
Mine Workers Hazelton Pa Oct 25
To the Miners and Mine Workers of
the Anthracite Region Gentlemen
After carefully canvassing the entire
situation we your officers district and
national have concluded that your vic
tory is so near complete that no good
end can be served by continuing the
strike longer The contest has been in
progress for thirty nine days and the
companies employing you have with
few exceptions signified their willing
ness to pay the scale of wages formu
lated by the Scranton convention of
October 12 and 13
We are aware that some some dis
appointment and dissatisfaction have
been caused by the failure of operatprs
in districts 1 and 7 to separate the re
duction in the price of powder from
the advance in wages but after care
ful inquiry we are satisfied that each
mine employe will actually receive an
advance of 10 per cent on the wages
formerly paid In the Schuylkill and
Lehigh regions the largest companies
have agreed that the sliding scale
should be suspended and that wages
should remain stationary at 10 per cent
until April 1 1901 thus removing one
Df the iniquities of which you havo
complained for many years
While it is true that you have not
secured redress for all your wrongs
while it is true that the increase in your
earnings will not fully compensate you
for tne arduous labor you are com
pelled to perform you have established
i powerful organization which if main
tained and conducted on business prin
ciples will enable you to regulate many
Df your local grievances and make your
employment less hazardous and more
profitable than before the strike be
jjan
The companies agree in their notices
to take up with their mine employes all
grievances complained of We would
therefore advise that when work is re
sumed committees be selected by the
mine employes and that they wait upon
the superintendents of the companies
and present their grievances in an or
derly business like manner and ask
that they be corrected
Your attention is respectfully called
to the fact that the laws of the state
of Pennsylvania provide that miners
should be paid semimonthly upon de
mand We should therefore advise
that each mine employe servenotice on
the companies that he epects to be paid
his wages twice each month as pro
vided by law
The practical benefits to the miners
which accrue from thorough organiza
tion have been so clearly demonstrated
during this strike that it should be
needless for us to urge upon you the
necessity of maintaining your union in
tact We trust however that those
who are now members of the union will
be unceasing in their efforts to induce
all other mine workers to ally them
selves with the United Mine Workers
of America at once as it will be im
possible for you to secure higher wages
in the future or even to maintain the
present rate of wages unless you are
prepared to offer a united resistance if
any attempt is made to reduce your
earnings upon the expiration of the
present offer
As there are some few companies
who have neither posted notified nor
signified in any other manner their
willingness to pay the 10 per cent ad
vance in wages and suspend the sliding
scale we would advise that unless the
men employed by such companies re
ceive notice before Monday that the
advance will be paid they remain away
from the mines and continue on strike
until the companies employing them
agree to the conditions offered by the
other companies and the employes of
the companies who have offered the
advance of 10 per cent and abolished
the sliding scale are hereby authorized
to resume work Monday morning Octo
ber 29 and to be prepared if called on
to contribute a reasonable amount of
your earnings for the maintenance- of
those who may be compelled to con
tinue on strike

FUNERAL OF JOHN SHERMAN
Remains of Ohio Statesman Rest
By Those of His Wife
Mansfield Oo Special In a plctur
esque little cemetery where generations
of Mansfields builders sleep He the re
mains of John Sherman Ohio senator
and the nations statesman There to
day all that is mortal of the former
secretary of state was laid to rest with
ceremonies that were impressive yet
simple All Ohio contributed laurels to
the Illustrious dead and representing
the nation was President McKinley
Elihu Root secretary of war and other
Washington officials The city was
draped in mourning Every business
house closed at 2 oclock and the
schools were dismissed that the pupils
might attend the service at the Grace
Episcopal church where half a century
ago John Sherman first worshiped and
where for years he was a vestryman
From the funeral train which arrived
at 1016 a m the remains wjere escort
ed to the church through streets that
were thronged with citizens and thou
sands who had gathered from other
places The route was marked in the
early morning with many political ban
ners eulogistic of national and state
candidates of the various parties but
as a mark of respect to the dead all
these were removed before the proces
sion began In the line of march were
two companies of the Eighth Ohio vol
unteers who fought in the Spanish war
while flanking the hearse was a squad
of forty two survivors of the famous
Sherman brigade all gray and bent with
age but stepping with1 tread as firm as
men of half their years
At the church the casket containing
the remains was removed to a place
just in front of the chancel where It
was banked with floral offerings of
great richness One of these tokens
was a wreath of white roses and carna
tions brought from the White House
by President McKinley Another was
from the Richland Bar association and
another was the offering of the cor
poration of Mansfield There were
scores of others front many parts of
the country
WANT AMERICANS EXPELLED
Desife of All Delegates Going to
Havana Convention
Santiago de Cuba Special The de
parture of the provincial delegates to
participate in the proceedings of the
forthcoming constitutional convention
at Havana caused an immense demon
stration this afternoon It is estimated
that they were escorted to the wharf
by upward of 12000 persons of whom
nine tenths were colored people
Havana Special It is remarkable
how little public interest is displayed
in tlie forthcoming constitutional con
vention Less than two weeks will in
tervene between this and the opening-
but scarcely a newspaper discusses the
issues involved or oifers any sort of a
suggestion as to the constitution that
hould be adopted The partisam jour
nals are attacking each other savagely
however on the qualifications of dele
gates and there are numerous indica
tions that the opening days of the con
vention -will witness plenty of mud
slinging
The real fight will come on the seat
ing of delegates It is said that the
nationalists will claim sixteen out of
thirty one members of the convention
but the republican and democratic com
bination is confident of a majority
HARD TIMES IN SWEDEN
Reports That ivio ey Is Scrace and
Industrial Crisis Pending
Stockholm Special The extraordi
nary scarcity of money which has been
growing more acute for a month is so
seriously affecting commercial circles
as to threaten a crisis The balance of
foreign trade continues against Swe
den it is reported and the repeated
contraction of gold loans abroad fails
to palliate the situation Industries are
daily launched but adequate capital Is
not available and the newspapers are
filled with appeals from manufacturers
in desperate straits for money
Rural residents attracted by the in
dustrial activity are flocking to the
towns and consequently the demand
for houses is so great that rents have
been raised 20 to 30 per cent The civil
servants have been granted 20 per cent
increase in pay to meet the hard times
and it is expected employers generally
will have to follow suit

Beach in the course of an address be

merce yesterday advocated closer com
mercial union between the different
countries of the empire and greater or
ganization for the empires common in

former that it was impossible for Great
Britain to be other than a free trade
country and that he sympathized with
Sil Wilfrid Laurier the Dominion pre
mier in his opinion that an imperial
zollverein was unobtainable without
free trade within the empire
So far as imperial organization was
concerned he said he did not think

would be universally accepted
