Vou see the plain threat, sir?" Scrawled upon the sheet in a rough uncouth hand were the words: "This For Owners and Overseare." Monckton tossed the paper aside with a gesture of contempt. "That is not all," added Joyce, still breathing heavily. "Some one tried to set fire to the stables during the night. If one <a' the grooms had not detected the smell of smoke in time, the building would surely have gone and the wholo stud with it." "Oh!" ejaculated Monckton, slightly changing countenance, "this is serious Indeed. Why not give tho fellows what they ask, Joyce, and stop this nonsense?" "Impossible, sir," responded tho over seer, the despotic instinct triumphing over his personal terrors. "It would give them tho whip hand of us, and there would bo no end to their exac tions. Yon have intrusted me with tho management of this noblo estate, sir, which was built up by the energy and talent of your respected father, and It shall be my duty to see that your best interests are protected." To which magniloquent peroration Mr. Monckton replied by an amused look. "Well." ho 6aid, "take your own way. Petition the governor to send us a regiment of troops and a hat tery of guns to put down this tempest in a teapot, if you like. Only let me hear nothing about it. I have told you CO times that I hate and abhor the wholo thing, from the bottom of the lowermost shaft to the top of the tall est chimney, and I won't be bored with it." CHAPTER IX. MONCKTON'S PROPOSAL. That afternoon when he called upon Miss Duke tho girl's quick eye detect ed something unusual in his manner, and sho was not long in learning tho cause. "They mean to force you to extrem ities," sho said thoughtfully. "You must either fight or yield to their de mands. Which ore you going to do?" "1?" he queried, lifting his eyebrows in mild wonder. "I shall do nothing. It is Joyce's quarrel. He got into it, and he must get out of it as best he may." "Surely," she exclaimed incredulous ly. "you cannot be in earnest. You, the employer of these men, cannot stand quietly by while"« "Pardon me," he said easily, "I shall not stand by at all. I shall go •way and let Joyce and the men have it out together." He looked at her inquiringly, as if expecting some word of approval, but as she uttered none he continued: "I hoped that you would applaud my resolution to get away from the whole detestable business. In fact," ke straightened himself up and adjusted his eyeglass with a slightly nervous gesture, "I hoped you would be willing to go with me." "I do not think I quite understand you," she responded coldly. He arose, and drawing near to where she sat said, with a formal tone and manner in which, however, there was an underlying agitation: "I wish to put myself and my for tune at your disposal. Will you honor me by accepting them?" She arose in turn and confronted him, flushing and paling by turns. "I presume, as a gentleman, you would not jest upon such a subject." Her voice was hard and firm. "I certainly would not," he an swered. "But why do you ask?" "Because your proposition must be either a jest or an insult," was her re tort. "In this country men are sup- "Tou cannot respect the woman yon ask to Join with you in a cowardly act." posed to love or at least respect the woman they desire to marry. Of love yon have not even made a pretense, and yon saiely cannot respect the woman yon ask to join with yon in a mean and cowardly act." He stood in silence gazing at her as if utterly confounded. Those who had known Ralph Monckton best wonld hardly have recognized him at that mo ment. The careless languor of manner which had grown a second nature, the cold indifference of expression, the easy self assurance which seemed but thinly to hide a cynical contempt of all things— all these were gone. A deep flush over spread his face; his lip trembled as does that of a woman who is abont to weep. Shame, anger and wonder seemed strug gling together within him. The girl was astonished and perhaps a little alarmed at the effect of her words, but she would not retract them. When at length he spoke, it was not in the slow, affected voice habitual to hirn. It was unsteady and full of feel ing. "I will not pretend to misunderstand you," he said, "at least so far ns your opinion of me is concerned. I did not suppose 1 still had the power to feel a wound to my pride as deeply as I do at this moment, if I have insulted you, as you say, you are amply revenged." "There was no such thought in my mind," she answered in a softened tone. "Perhaps my words were harsher than I Intended." 'H" n.l 1 % nr-elf," lie said, rui-ing bis hand. .:ii a smile, half sad, half bitter, "f r wl:* tli. r vou have d.ii" me full justice . r net y..u have taught He- a salutary I. -s. n.

Ralph," she sai.l ear in -tly. u-ing the familiar name as she had 1..-, n wont when they were boy and girl together. You must listen to me, ft if 1 have been unkind I wish to he just. IT-in my standjMiint what you proposed was mean and cowardly. I can't withdraw that. Your father left ion master of these mines, with the iiiindr. ds who toil in them. When yon 1.-, a: posses-ion of your inheritance, vou assumed a responsibility which you ie,i i:o right to evade or lay upon oth <is. Wiii ti you first came here, your to. n w. re prepared to give you a hearty welcome. Y<m could have soon won tli.-ir love and confidence. A few kind words, the smallest evidence that you had tin ir welfare at heart, would have done it. instead of which you have utterly ignored them. Yon have shown that you despised ttiem, and even these rude, ignorant people have pride which may be outraged. You deputed your own proper duty to a bard, narrow smiled tyrant, whoso brutality and in justice liave driven those who might have been made humble and devoted friends into revolt. The Monckton mines have ail evil reputation through out the whole legion for poor pay, hard work and danger. The mines are no toriously unsafe. That part called the Ten Foot Drive is liable to be Hooded at any moment, to the certain destruc tion of everything living within it. Your ov. is.-er was notified of the fact and requested to take precautions. Act ing in your name, ho refused, though tiio expense would have been trifling. Acting in your name again, be has cut down wages, so that many families in tho village were in want, even before the strike began. At this hour, as wo sit here, there are helpless women and children slowly perishing of hunger— the wives and little ones of your men." Tho tears were Tunning down her cheeks now as she spoke, and the beautiful face turned toward him was full of angelic pity and sorrow that moved the man's soul as it had never before b. en moved in his whole life. "Are you speaking from hearsay?" he asked in a low voice. "Do you know these things to be true?" "I have gone into their poor homes," she replied, "and I have seen sights to make the heart bleed. You were not iguoraut that great wrong was being done, Ralph. I told you myself, but yon would not heed me. The subject bored you, and you waved it aside with a jest. But you could not put aside your responsibility. For every child cry ing for bread in yonder village, for ev ery broken hearted woman's tears, for every act of madness and despair which those men may do, yours is the blame, Ralph, yours alone." He opened his lips as if to speak, but his head dropped upon bis chest again, and he remained silent. "When those patient creatures could bear no more and declared a strike against you,"shewent on, though with evidently increasing effort, for bis atti tude of complete uonresistance discom fited hor, "you manifested tho most perfect indifference. You took no in terest in the struggle, either on your own behalf, as owner of the mines, or as a redresser of crying injustice wrought by your hireling, Joyce. But —and I am ashamed to say it, Ralph—- one day, when your own proper person seemed to be thieatened, you suddenly aweke, not to a sense of neglected duty, but to the possibility of physical in jury. Then your resolution waß prompt ly taken —not to fulfill a leng neglected duty, but to slip away and so evade both danger and responsibility. Yon have become accustomed to my society" —a red spot came into her cheek, and she raised her head haughtily—"and you offer me the bribe of your name and fortune to accompany you in your flight. You have no love to offer, and you cannot respect me, or you would never have proposed such a marriage to me." She stopped, and with her hands clasped before her gazed earnestly at the bowed figure of the man. For many minutes he neither moved nor spoke, appearing to be buried in a profound and eloomv reverv. CHAPTER X. THE STORY OF A MISSPENT YOUTH. "Rarely, I think," said Monckton at length, "has any man listened to such accusations as you have brought against me today. Yon certainly have not spared me, bpt meted out full judg ment on my sins. Yet, all unworthy as I am, I might rake together a poor de fense from the ashes of a misspent past. My father, as you know, began life as a common laborer in the mines that afterward became his own. He worked his way upward by methods which, whether my moral sense approves of them or not, I am too weak of fiber to imitate. Like many of his class, hs did not comprehend the dignity of toil, but bowed down, poor soul, to the hol low effigy which in this country goes by the name of aristocracy. He resolved that his son should be a gentleman— that is, he should be college bred, dress well, spend money lavishly, drive fast horses, keep an expensive establishment —in short, become a genteel loafer. He rigidly excluded me from all knowledge of his business—time enough for that, he said, when be should have passed away. My business was to be pleasure. His greatest delight was to see mynamo in the papers beside doubtful titles and still more doubtful reputations. I think had I startled Paris with one of those scandals which furnish gossip for the jackals of society and a dozen columns of American reprint he would have been perfectly happy. But somehow my innate American decency kept me from the worst degradation. I went to Paris, a green boy, with the bank account of a financier. I was surrounded by para sites who drained my purse and laughed at me. I was flattered by women the touch of whose jeweled fingers sent a shudder through me. I plunged into dissipation and came out hating myself and all the world, tired, disillusion ized, believing in nothing, despising men and distrusting women. Doubt less had I been stronger I should have passed through the ordeal unscathed. Being only poor Ralph Monckton, I be came"—he shrugged his shoulders— "you have just told me what." He began to pace np and down the room again with his hands behind him and his head bent. "My father's death called me to the rharge of the mines—a sorry farce in deed! What could the idler of the Paris boulevards know of practical affairs? And why should I have cared to know? I was already too rich, and I had none of the strange ambition which leads men to pile fortune upon fortune. My inheritance was simply a burden which I was neither willing nor fitted to bear. I employed an overseer to manage the mines, laying a single injunction upon him—never upon any account to trou ble me with business details. Vague ! rumors of discontent among the miners came to my cars. I paid no attention to them. The employer and employee are natural enemies, and there is al ways war between them and always will bo until the conditions of life are equalized. That is not my discovery— I read it somewhere. I have read a ileal < t ruV.l i>h for an i<llrr. .\nvway my overs..l . yro, a-.-urnl me that there was no ground fur complaint. 1 believeil him it was easier to take his "lilori't think any own trill ever love you ox well (is I do." word than to investigate for myself. Von spoke of injustice and danger, hut I remembered that handsome fellow, North" tslie turned toward him sharply, but bo checked her, adding, with a faint smile: "I am making a clean breast, you know, and must bide none of my in iquities. Yes, that thought chilled some unformed philanthropic notions that were beginning to wander about in this weak brain of mine, and 1 fell hack into my old cynical indifference. Perhaps it was my natural indolence reasserting itself; perhaps it was jeal ousy. It doesn't matter now. When ttie men declared war against me and threatened mo with personal outrage— well, yon have called it cowardice. I don't know. I had a dream of a new life of quiet contentment, far away from these petty annoyances, of which you wero to be the guiding angel." He laughed a short, hard laugh. "I really did indulge in some foolish ideas of waking from my lethargy, of doing something fine, and you wero to help me." He laughed again with mirth less self contempt. "I am awake now, Imogene, fully awake. And yet," he spoke in a musing tone, leaning his head against the window pane and looking out into the garden, "it is strange, but I don't think any man will ever love you as well as I do." "Ralph!" He turned around suddenly, as if her voice had startled him. "Yes," he said, taking up his hat to go, "I did not know it when I came here today. But I do now." He fixed his eyes upon her a moment with a wistful expression, as if ho hoped she would speak, but tho words would not come to her lips. In an unsteady voice be bade her goodby and left her. As the door closed upon him she took a step forward as if to recall him; then she checked herself, and sitting down by the window rested her head upon her hand and fell into deep thought. CHAPTER XI. A SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Ralph Monckton rode homeward at a slow space, bis mind in a strange con fusion. He was aware that a great change had taken place in himself dur ing the past hour. He was not the man who had lounged into the presence of Imogene Duke, resolved to ask her to be his wife, and yet not certain that he cared greatly what her answer might be; not the man without aims, without beliefs, almost without feelings of any sort. He had undergone a tremendous shock, and, as he had said, he was now fully awake, though still bewildered. Was it resentment, repentance or regret that was stirring his heart so profound ly? He could not have said at that moment. One thing he was sure of— that he loved Imogene and that he bad lost her. He bitterly cursed bis folly in offering himself to her with a super cilious indifference whicn would have l*ung. the pride of a far less spirited girl -than she was. Even if she had felt any inclination for him he had done his best to destroy it. He smote his thigh with his clinched fist as he pic tured himself as he must have seemed to her, with his acquired air of foppish nonchalance. Ob, aas! triple ass! that he was not to have known that this pure, fresh, clean souled, earnest Amer ican girl must despise such an affected, dwarfed trifler as he had become. He was in a state cf moral transition, Upon the point of balance from which a man either goes straight down to the devil or mounts upward on the wings of a good resolution. And he was near malting up bis mind to drop everything, return to Paris and drown his newly awakened conscience and his hopeless love in the wildest dissipation to be bought for money in that world mart of artistic wickedness. It was a strange thing that turned his thoughts the oth er way. He was passing through a piece of woods where the road was hardly more than a bridle path, bordered on either aide by dense undergrowth, when the report of a rifle and a keen, stinging pain in his right temple rndely aroused him from bis meditation. He put his hand to the spot and withdrew it cov ered with blood. The bullet had grazed his head within the fraction of an inch of his brain. A puff of pale blue smoke was floating upward from the bushes beside the road. He spurred bis horse close up to the spot and called out: "Show yourself, you cowardly scoun drel!" The only reply to his challenge was the tramp of swiftly retreating foot steps and the crashing of a heavy body through the underwood. Monckton waited until tbe sounds died' - tk" 'vinf * heed *he he "Show yourtclf, you cowardly tcoundrell" gash in bia temple, ataining hia collar and abirt front, be rode on at a gallop, with pale face and aternly compreaaed lipa. I Arriving at his dwelling, he threw himself from the saddle and rapidly made his way to the overseer's office, where he found that individual in the act of completing a letter of portentous dimensions. He arose hastily as his em ployer entered and gased at him with an expression of horrified amazement. ! " What is the matter, sir?" he gasped. "You are hurt. There is blood on your face." | "Never mind that," interrupted Monckton curtly. "What hare you there?" | "A letter to the governor," respond ed Joyce, "asking for military protec tion." "Give it here." The young proprie tor glanced through thedocument, then, to Joyce's unutterable dismay, deliber ately tore it in two and threw the frag ments into the waste basket beneath the desk. 1 will have no outside assistance in this matter," said his employer coldly. "We will settlo the trouble ourselves. Summon the committee —North." His pale face grew a trifle darker as ho spoke tlio name. "That man Matthew North was their spokesman. Let him be sent for." Joyce stared at the young man aghast. 'Bnt he is the worst of the lot, sir," ho began, with an incredulous stare, "a regular demagogue and the head of the whole ttouble." "So much tlio bettor," responded his employer. "110 is tho man 1 wish to Jovco expostulated. Ho was badly frightened himself, but with a company of militia at his hack ho foresaw tho pleasuro of overawing the malcontents and repaying them for tho threats to his august person in a double measure of humiliation, lio therefore contest ed the sudden and unaccountable ex hibition of will on tho part of Mr. Moncktou with considerable acerbity. Ho was silenced, however, when tho young man turned upon him, frowning, and said: "1 am the owner of these mines, Mr. Joyco. If I havo forgotten tho fact too long, do not remind me of it today. If you aro prepared to obey my orders, I shall bo glad to retain your services; otherwise" *'Of course, of course," interrupted tho factotum hastily; "your will must be mine. 1 merely desired to express my views—ahem!—of the situation." *• Very good," said Moncktou quietly, "You will send a message to the village and invite the men to a conference through their delegates. I will return in half an hour." Appalled by tho marvelous transfor mation in his young master and almost staggering 011 his legs with amazement, the overseer departed to execute his or ders. When tho deputation of miners, head ed by Matthew North, was ushered in to tho owner's presence by Mr. Joyce, they found him seated composedly at the desk, the mark of the would be as sassin's bullet showing in a deep red line upon his white forehead. The men had come to the conference in a visibly defiant mood. They re garded the summons to a conference with their omployer ns a sign of yield ing on bis part and were prepared to make the most of their supposed vic tory. They were rather taken aback by the perfect courtesy with which the mine owner received them and deposit ed themselves in tho chairs which he ordered placed for them with a kind of surly bashfnlness. Matthew North alone seemed unim pressed by Monckton's demeanor. A few weeks had wrought direful havoc In Matthew's appearance. Tho ruddy bronze of his complexion had faded to a dull ashen hue, his face was painful ly emaciated, and his hollow eyes shone under their heavy brows with a gloomy, portentous glow. It was plain that bo had suffered as only a man of his violent nature can suffer and had vain ly fought against tho passions that con sumed him with the whole strength of his savage pride. His wild love for Imogene Duke, which he knew to be hopeless, and his bitter hatred and con tempt for the weakling he regarded both as his persecutor and his success ful rival had absorbed all better im pulses into themselves.

New lark Tinea Say. tbe Llil la Nat m Rail at Honor, The Timet, which has been conduct ing a close investigation into the abuses of the national pension system t said in the issue of March 20th: The amount of money asked to pay pensions this year is $160,000,000. The amount paid for pensions in 1865 was $8,525,153. The amount paid in 1893 was $156,- 740,567. The number of pensioners in 1865 was 85,986. The number in 1893 was 966,012. The total disbursements for pensions for the period of 1861-93 was $1,574,- 088,679. The applications for new pensions are coming in at as rapid a rate as ever. In the seven months ended last October they numbered 55,399, or nearly as many as were on the rolls one year after the war closed. The cash which the people con tribute is being paid out at the rate of nearly half a million dollars a day. The pension roll has lost all sem blance of a " roll of honor." The statisticians' work has keen taken up by the people, frightened by the magnitude of the draft of cash on their pockets, and they have cried " fraud." To this cry there has come back the reply of the demagogue, the politician, the pensioner, and whoever else was interested: "Show us the fraud in specific cases!" The Timet makes 12 specific charges, which it claims to have found to exist in fact, and then goes on to describe what cases are specified by law as beneficiaries of the government, the marked increase in the rates granted, with tables showing the advance ment made by successive acts; how the pension commissioners grew liber al and their discretionary power was wielded at the expense of the treasury; how the act of June 27,1890, opened the treasury to an altogether new class of beneficiaries, and closes this installment of the story with a table showing the number of pensioners and the amount of money paid for pen sions each year since 1865 up to and including the year 1893. Figures taken from the City Clerk's books show the city indebtedness of Walla Walla to be: Bonded, $40,000; warrant, $31,165.01; interest, $2,620.- 75; total, $73,785.74. Amount in the treasury, $1,976.28. READ OUR GREAT PREMIUM OFFERS. Books, Sewing Machines, Firearms, Silverware, Watches, etc. Something for Everybody!

Oar Finest Premium is without doubt tha Fashion High Am Singer Sewing Machine, The "Singer" has stood tbs test of 40 Tsars and Bade a princely fortune for Its Inventor. The "Fashion" Singer,howsver. Is an Im provement on the original machine, as It haa all modern improvementa np to date which are known or found in a Orat-claaa family sew ing machine. The automatic bobbin winder winds all slzsa of thread on the bobbin as eaally aa a spool of thrsad la wound, without care or attention on the part of the operator, except to keep the treadle moving. Owing to the machine having what la tamed a tight and loose wheel, the bobbin can be wound without running the working parts of the machine. Thia is quite •n advantage, as It does not necessitate re moving the goods from nnderneath>the pressor foot, or even unthreading tha machine. The needle Is short and straight, thus insur ing great strsngth: It is also self-setting, re quiring no care on the part of the operator. The pressure on the sewing foot is adjustable, and when the foot Is raised to remove the work from the machine, it brings into play the au tomatic tension release. This takes the ten sion from the thread, and the goods can be re moved from the machine without bending the needle or breaking the thread. Every operator on old styla machines will appreciate this.
