It is thrilling because Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote it. He has been a successful author for 33 years. He has written more than 40 novels, novelettes and plays. Some of his characters, Sherlock Holmes and Brigadier Gerard for example, will live. "The White. Company" is a classic. It is important becant H is a story of the latter days of Napoleon, from the viewpoint of Scotch villagers who lie under "The Great Shadow." There are three men and a woman in the story. Two of the men die on the SeM of Waterloo, the calmiaatioa of the story. • 1' • m, fr *V'\ CHAPTER I. -1- • ^ -/-tu Night of the Beacons. J *It lfl strange to me, Jack Caldet Of r 'CJ^est Inch, to feel that though now, ' , - the very center of the nineteenth . : . Century, I am but ttve-and-flfty years • . 4f age, and though It is only once a %eek, perhaps, that my wife can / • jiluck out a little gray bristle from *<ever my ear, yet I have lived In a time % ^vben the thoughts and the ways of ^ ' then were as different as though it ;:^f^-%ere another planet from this. For ; when I walk in my fields I can see, *- down Berwick way, the little fluffs of r trhlte smoke which tell me of this .v"fctrange, new, hundred-legged beast • 'l - - With coals for food and a thousand V men in Its belly, forever crawling pver Hf » ^, !|he border. On a shiny day I can see' - ,^|he glint of the brass work as it takes i; iyVthe curve near Corriemulr. And then. §& ;'^8 I look out to sea, there Is the same beast again, or a dozen of them, may- |>e, leaving a trail of black In the air <#nd of white in the water, and swimming in the face of the wind as eas- >Jly as a salmon up the Tweed. Such ! ,r ^ sight as that would have struck my 'l^ood old father speechless with wrath well as surprise, for he was so • fctricken with the fear of offending the - l|Creator that he was chary of contra- 'y"~ ,.-dieting Nature, and always held the r;*%»ew thing to be nearly akin to the ^blasphemous. As long as God made "4 ^the horse, and a man, down Birmlngf iiam way, the engine, my good old dad Mould have stuck by the saddle and |*j*i;-V,ithe spurs. ft c; 1 When he died we had been fighting . with scarce a break, save for two short years, for very nearly a quarter of a «•: 'century. Babies who were born in the ejl-war grew to be bearded men with ba- • : hies of their own, and still the war ^ v . continued. Those who had served and fought in their stalwart prime grewstiff and bent, and yet the ships and the Armies were struggling. During that long time we fought the Dutch, )• we fought the Danes, we fought the • Spanish, we tought the Turks, we ' fought the Americans, we fought the Montevideans, until it seemed that in this universal struggle no race was too near of kin or too far away to be , drawn .into the quarrel. But most of , all It was the French whom we fought, , and the man whom of all others we loathed and feared and admired was the great captain who ruled them. It was very well to draw pictures of htm, and sing songs about him, and .»• make as though he were an Impostor, ( but I can tell you that the fear of that man hung like a black shadow over all Europe, and that there was a time when the glint of a flre at night upon the coast would set every woman upon her knees and every man gripping for his musket He had always . won. That was the terror of It. The fates seemed to be behind him. And now we know that he lay upon the northern coast with a hundred and * ' * fifty thousand veterans, and the boats ' , . • tor their passage. But it is an old •t^ry how a third of the grown folk v. of our country took up arms, and how oar little one-eyed, one:armed man crushed their fleet. There was still ; to be a land of free thinking and free •peaking <n Europe. f There was a great beacon ready on :k.. the hill by Tweedmouth, built up of logs and tar barrels, and I can well jjf, k;<*; remember how night after night I ffe.v. •trained my eyes to see if it were ablaze. I was only eight at the time, ^ ^ but it is an age when one takes a ] grief to heart, and I felt as though 'if JJV the fate of the country hung in some P fashion upon me and my vigilance, life And then one night as I looked I sud- ^ ¥}i >; denly saw a little flicker on the bea- .'•ivj con hill--a single red tongue of flame '.-•/VvY-' Id the darkness. And then the flame r shot higher, and I saw the red, qulv- '„V"'i ering line upon the water beyond, and J;V i. I dashed into the kitchen, screeching to my father that the French had ;> crossed and the Tweedmouth llglit was $ v*;aflame. I can see him now as he ^ : f £ knocked his pipe out at the side of the flre, and looked at me from over £he top of his horn spectacles. - "Are you sore, Jock?" says be. . ... < "Sure as death," I gasped. fft reached out his hand for the Bible upon the table and opened upon his knee as though he meant t o read to us, but he 6hut It again In silence and hurried out. We went down to the gate which opens out upon the highway. From' there we could see the red light of the big beacon, and the glimmer of a smaller one to the north of us at Ayton. The old road had more folk on It than ever passed along It at night before, for many of the yeomen up our way had enrolled themselves and were riding now as fast as hoof could carry them for the muster. Some had a stirrup cup or two before parting, and I cannot forget one who tore past on a huge white horse, brandishing a great rusty sword in the moonlight. They shouted to us, as they passed, that the North Berwick law-flre was blazing, and that it was thought that the alarm had come from Edinburgh castle. There were a few who galloped the other way, couriers for Edinburgh, and the laird's son and Master Clayton, the deputy sheriff, and such like. But early in the morning we had our minds set at ease. It was gray and cold, and my mother had gone up to the house to make a pot of tea for us, when there came a gig down the road with Doctor Horscroft of Ayton In it and his son Jim. The collar ef the doctor's coat came over his ears, and he looked In a deadly black humOr, for Jim, who was but fifteen years of age, had trooped off to Berwick at the first alarm with his father's new fowling piece. All night his dad had chased him, and now there he was, a prisoner, with the barrel of the stolen gun sticking out from behind the seat. He looked as sulky as his father, with his hands thrust into his side pockets, his brows drawn down, and his lower lip thrust out. "It's all a lie," shouted the doctor, as he passed. "There has been no landing, and all the fools In Scotland have been gadding about the roads for nothing." His son Jim snarled something up at him on this, and his father struck him a blow with his clenched fist on the side of the head, which sent the boy's chin forward upon his breast as though he had been stunned. Now all this has little enough to do with what I took my pen up to tell about; but when a man has a good memory and little skill he cannot draw one thought from his nJnd without a dozen others trailing out behind It. And yet, now that I come to think of it, this had something to do with It after all; for Jim Horscroft had so deadly a quarrel with his father that he was packed off to Blrtwhlstle's Berwick academy; and as my father had long wished me to go there he took advantage of this chance to send me also. • There was from the first a great friendship between Jim Horscroft, the doctor's soft, and me. He was cock boy of the school from the day he came, for within the hour he had thrown Barton, who had been cock before him, right through the big blackboard in the classroom. Jim always ran to muscle and bone, and even then he was square and tall, short of speech and long of arm, much given to lounging with his broad back against walls, and his hands deep in his breeches pockets. I can even recall that he had a trick of keeping a straw in the corner of his mouth, just where he used afterward to hold his pipe. Jim was always the same, for good and for bad, since first I knew him. Heavens! How we all looked up to him! We were but young savages, and had a savage's respect for power What tales We used to whisper about his strength; how he put his flst through the oak panel of the gameroom door. How when Long Merridew was carrying the ball, he caught up Merrldew, ball and all, and ran swiftly past every opponent to the goal. It did not seem fit to xit that such a one as he should trouble his head about spondees and dactyls, or care to know w1 o signed the Magna Charta. When he said In open class that King Alfred was the man, we little boys all felt that very likely It was so, and that perhaps Jim knew more about It than the man who wrote the book. For two years we were close friends, for all the gap that the years had made between us, and, though in passion or in want of thought he did many a thing that galled roe, yet I loved him like a brother, and wept as much as would have filled an ink bottle when at last, after two years, he went off to Edinburgh to study his father's profession. Five years after that did I bide at Blrtwhlstle's, and when I left I had become cock myself, for I was as wiry and as tough as whalebone, though I never ran to weight and sinew, like my great predecessor. It was in jubilee year that I left Blrtwhlstle's, and then for three years I stayed at home, learning the ways of the cattle; but still the ships and the armies were wrestling, ahd still the great shadow, of Bonaparte lay across the country. How could I guess that I, too, should have a hand in lifting that shadow forever from our people? see what they had been made for. There were none of us at Blrtwhlstle's that thought very much of them; but the smallest laddies seemed to have the most sense, for, after they began to grow bigger they were not so sure about it. We little ones were all of one mind that a creature that couldn't fight and was carrying tales, and couldn't so much as shy a stone without flapping Its arm like a rag In the wind was no use for anything. So when thts one came to the steading at West Inch I was not best pleased to see her. I was twelve at the time (it was in the holidays) and she eleven, a thin, talllsh girl, with black eyes and the queerest ways,, She was forever staring out in front of her, with her Hps parted as if she saw something wonderful; but when I came behind her and looked the same way I could see nothing but the sheep's trough or the midden or father's breeches hanging on a clothesline. And then if she saw a lump of heather or bracken, or any common stuff of that sort, she would mope over It as if it had struck her sick, and cry, "How sweet! how perfect 1" Just as though it had been a painted picture. When I used to tell her that she was good for nothing, and that her father was a fool to bring her up like that, she would begin to cry, and say that I was a rude boy, and that she would go home that very night, and never forgive me as long as she lived. But In five minutes she had forgotten all about It What was strange was that she liked me a deal better than I did her, and she would never leave me alone, but she was always watching me and running after me, and then saying, "Oh, here yon arel" as if It were a surprise. Jim Horscroft was away when Cousin Edle was with us, but he came back the very week she went, and I mind how surprised I was that he should ask any questions or take any interest in a mere lassie. He asked me if she were pretty; and when I said that I hadn't noticed he laughed and called me a mole, and said my eyes would be opened some day. But very soon he came to be Interested in something else, and I never gave Edle another thought until one day she just took my life in her hands and twisted It as I could twist this quill. That was in 1813, after I had left school, when I was already eighteen years of age, with a good forty hairs on my upper lip and every hope of more. I had changed since I left school, and was not so keen on games as I had been, but found myself Instead lying about on the sunny side of the braes, with my own lips parted and my eyes staring just the same as Cousin Edle's used to do. It had satisfied me, and filled my whole life, that I could run faster and Jump higher than my neighbor, but now all that seemed such a little thing, and I yearned and looked up at the big arching sky and down at the fiat blue sea, and felt that there was something wanting, but could never lay my tongue to what that something was. And I became quick of temper,* too, for my nerves seemed all of a fret; and when my mother would ask me what ailed me, or my father would speak of my turning my hand to work, I would break into such sharp, bitter answers as I have often grieved over since. Ah, a man may have more than one wife, and more than one child, and more than one friend, but he can never have but one mother, so let him cherish her while he may. MMMMMNHMII Morrison.--Rev. A. B. Wimmer, for two years ^pastor of the First Baptist church at Morrison, has resigned and will become superintendent of public schools at Orchard, Neb. Rockford.--Bishop Frank M.

LEFT REST OF TRIBE IN CAVE CHAPTER II. *1 Idle of EyemotpUl, Some years before, when I waft still but a lad, there had come over to us upon a five weeks' visit the only daughter of my father's brother. Willie Calder !md settled at Eyemouth as a maker of fishing nets, and he had made more out of twine than ever we were like to do out of the whin bushes and sand links of West Inch. So his daughter, Edle Calder. came over with a braw red frock and a five-shilling bonnet and a klst full of things that brought my dear mother's eyes oat like a parten's. I took no great stock of girts at that time, for It was hard for me to Mandan Indian Legend Says Fat Woman Broke Down Only Exit to tha Upper World. The fundamental simplicity of the American aborigine Is illustrated best In the Indian myths and legends which have come down to us, asserted Dr. Rudolph Rleder In an address before the Wisconsin Archeologlcal society. "These myths," Doctor Rleder said, "cannot be translated into pretty phrases, as in that case the simple beauty of the original is lost "There is a rather interesting legend concerning the origin of the Mandan tribe. It says that once the Mandans lived underground in a cave from which a large vine grew. One young warrior climbed up this vine one day. and liked the country so well that he Induced several of his tribesmen to follow him up the vine Into the world outside. Several chiefs and warriors did so, as well as many women, but when a fat woman tried to climb out of the cave, against the counsel of the chiefs, the viae broke and the rest of the Mandan tribe bad to remain underground. This fable may account for the fact that the Mandans were a relatively small tribe and also for thair antipathy to fat women." Drink Water When Tired. Dr. Eliza B. Mosher of Brooklyn trrged the members of the Women's Medical society of New York state to drink a glass of water at 10 a. m. and others at 8, 4 and 8 p. m. This, she told them, would dilute the products of fatigue which were entering the blood and causing that tired feeling. "No Use Talking."

Chicago.--Building in Chicago is moving toward a dead center. High cost of material and labor has led to such a suspension of activities that E.

At least $150,000,000 worth of building construction work Is now hung up In Chicago by prohibitive costs--the estimate Is that of the city building department *, Chicago.--Enforcement of the Illinois law fixing passenger fares at 2 cents a mile was checked by Federal Judges Gelger, Baker and English, who, sitting en banc. Issued an injunction restraining the public utilities commission from carrying out the law after September 1, when t6e roads finally emerge from federal control. The Injunction was granted the railroads shortly after the hearing on their application began. The early decision was a surprise. In announcing It Judge Baker said: "We have taken enough evidence thus far to justify a temporary injunction restraining the state from enforcing the 2-cent rate, which, in our opinion, would be confiscatory, Inasmuch as the interstate commerce commission has stated that a fare of 3.6 cents a mile is necessary to permit the roads to operate on a business basis." Springfield.--The constitutional convention is scheduled to reconvene Tuesday, September 21. But it now appears that the session will not be called until a week later.

In view of the Democratic convention being held on the same day that the constitutional convention is scheduled to convene, it Is expected the latter body will be recessed anoth er week so as not to conflict with the Democratic convention.

The Increase was agreed to by a subcommittee of six members, who have been considering the wage Increase demands of the workers. The workers asked for an increase of $2 a day. At first the operators regarded this as exorbitant but became reconciled to the $1.50 Increase. Both sides to the controversy say they are f>erfectly satisfied. E. C.

Miners employed as company men are given an increase of 17 per cent and the same amount is given "consideration miners" and miners' laborers and monthly men, The findings, the report said, would fix a minimum rate of 52% cents per hour for the lower paid men in the anthracite Industry. The president struck out of the report a provision fixing the terms Of retroactive payments under the award which he said was outside the commission's jurisdiction. Thomas Kennedy. chairman of the miners' scale committee, had protested this feature of the award, he said. Anthracite mine workers will receive about $18,000,000 in back pay under the retroactive feature of the award, which makes it effective April 1, 1920, and the total increase awarded to the 175,000 min&rs will average, the commission said, "at least $85,000,- 000" annually. The majority report declared that the award "ofTers no Jurisdiction for any advance in the retail prices of coal, but on the other hand, is consistent with a decline in prices." Any sharp advance in retail prices, the report added, "could not be charged to the operators, the miners or the award." "While the adjudication of any dispute necessarily results In some disappointment," the president said in his letter to the commission, "I am sure that the spirit with which you have acted will receive the commendation of the great bulk of the American people." The decision refused the United Mine Workers' demand for a closed shop and the installation of a "check-off system." It' also referred part of the men's demands for the establishment of uniform wage scales for various occupations to the existing board of conciliation for Industrial disputes In the industry. The commission's summary of the award shows that the workers' demand for a two-year contract was sustained; that the demand that individual contracts and agreements be prohibited was denied, the commission directing that the board of conciliation In reviewing complaints under such contracts act to protect the rights of all employees In the affected colliery; the demand that wages of the company shovel crews be equalized with those of contractors' crews was denied; the eight-hour day demand for Inside and outside day labor was referred to the board of conciliation to work out shifts and rates, retroactive payment on that baBls when arrived at being ordered. The commission denied the demand for time and a half for overtime and double time for Sundays and holidays. The minority report, submitted by Commissioner Ferry, declared In favor of standardization of rates of pay for the same work throughout the field; the same Increases as were granted to the bituminous workers, Involving increase to $6 per day to adult workers receiving less than $5, Increase of $1 per day to all now receiving $5 or over. Increase of 53 cents per day for boys and 31 per cent Increase In all contract rates. The right to a living wage, the right to collective bargaining and the right to an eight-hour day were set forth as "fundamental rights claimed by the mine workers." Modification of the emergency order directing railroads to give preference and priority to the Northwestern states in the movement of coal was sought from the Interstate commerce commission by the chambers of commerce of Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. Officials of the commission said modification of the order might result In cancellation of all such emergency orders now in effect, as a precedent would be established In favor of other communities peeking similar treatment Representatives of coal-consuming Interests of North Carolina asked the commission to allow some of the coal en route to New England to be diverted to their state. * Rule Is Broken.
