BOER GUNS FOR CANADA. The steel people have nothing to say but point to the mills at work, and the product, turned out. Ac- tions, they say, speak louder than words. ' The latest official declaration from steel sources is that the strike can now be settled only by the men gm ing back to the mills. The posi- tion the oflicials take, it is said, is that the strike is over. so far as their dealing with the strikers as a body. is concerned. They want workmen for their idle mills. and men who want work can have it for the asking at wages paid before the shut-down. They may be union men or not. but the union can have no 'say as to their work or wages. WHAT SHAFFER SAYS. Mr. Shaffer declared that the strike in spite of the claims of the other side to the contrary, is proceeding"l satisfactorily. and his association is{ making such serious inroads on the corporation's business that it will bel» compelled, sooner or later, to come, to terms. His men. he says, are’ firm all along the line. and are de- termined to stand for their rights to the end. He says the mills thatl have been started are doing but little: en‘ective work. The fact. that the] corporation is adding,r to its force daily does not worry the president. because he believes them to be either unskilled or poor workmen, who will' be a drawback rather than a help to their employers.

I ran upstairs and rang for a maid. Then I crept noiselessly into my ba- by's room. I bent over the sweet. sleep-flushed face and kissed it. As I did so a sudden impulse seized me to take the child. It was mad, fool- ish; but I remembered the woman I Was going to had lost her child. Might not the sight of mine be the best tonic for her? So. to the nur- sc’s horror, I lifted the still sleeping babe. and, wrapping him up warmly, left the room with him in my arms. “Have you seen me before?" I ask- ed surprised. “Often. I knew that it I needed a woman's help I might get it here. Do you doubt my good faith?" “No," I stammered. “I will come." “The night is cold, and our drive long. You must wrap up." “How can I thank you?" he cx- claimed in a broken voice. “It is nothing." “Nothing? It is the act of an an- gel! I did not mistake {our noble nature when I saw you. I wish now I had come before." “If a woman is what you need." I said, “I will come with you; and. as my husband has not returned, we will leave a message for him." “Her child is dead. She has never recovered from the blow." “Dead!" I exclaimed. “Andâ€"and was he young?" “Only a babyâ€"a cooing. pretty child. Perhaps like the one above. And she knows no one now!" “He was dreaming." I murmured, half aloud. The stranger's eyes held mine in an imploring gaze. The cry of my child upstairs ar- rested my attention. I raised my head and listened. The soothing voice of the nurse fell on our ears. “But this is too strange!" I ex- claimed, laughing nervously. “You can get nursesâ€"splendid women some are. They would do better than â€"." "Hired sympathyâ€"yes! But what I mean is the kindly compassion of an equalâ€"an hour's conversation with a gentlcwoman. It would save her." "But cannot she speak to you?"
