The three plain spiritual brutal facts that capital and labor have to reckon with and conform to in dealing with human nature to-day are these: Disputes can not be fought out not even by the people themselves.

They come among us boldly, blindly, and without thought for all of their great wealth. Even now they snore, and we are many and unafraid." "Mayhap they, too, are unafraid, being great fighters," the weazened little old hunter objected. But Tyee scowled upon him. "Nay, it would not seem so.

Then the band of Arthur's knights took counsel and gathered together Sir Bors, Sir Ector de Maris, Sir Lionel, Sir Blamore and five others. These were all mighty knights and all were great fighters and close kin to Sir Lancelot.

At that moment there arose a cry from some of the natives who, with the mules and their burdens, had pressed on ahead. "What's that?" exclaimed Tom. "Something's happened!" gasped Ned. "Bless my cartridge box!" cried Mr. Damon. The three went forward and came to a little hill.

"These folks have a history, that's sure," I told the others. "And SOME time they were fighters else why a fortress?" I said we were free of the garden, but not wholly alone in it.
