"Aren't you ashamed to be so mean!" laughed Susan. "Won't you tell me about it?" Mrs. Cudahy laughed too, a little out of countenance. "I misdoubt me you're a very bad lot!" said she, in high good humor, "but 'tis no joke for the boys," she went on, sobering quickly. "They wint on strike a week ago. Mr. Oliver presided at a meeting two weeks come Friday night, and the next day the boys went out!"

Leaving Moosomin in May in obedience to orders to report in Ottawa for special duty, Constantine received instructions to proceed to the Yukon and make recommendations as to general administration. He accordingly left for the north and by crossing over by the Lewes-Yukon he reached Fort Cudahy on August 7, where he remained about a month before returning by St.
Clement Cudahy was anxious to discuss with Billy the feasibility of printing such a letter weekly for regular circulation, and Billy thought well of the idea, and was eager to begin the enterprise. Susan was glad to get back to the little "Democrat," and worked very hard during the fall and winter. She was not wholly happy, or, rather, she was not happy all the time.
"Now, don't ye worry about the men coming back," said she kindly, "they'll be back fast enough, and wid good news, too!" "I'm going to stay overnight with Mrs. Cudahy," said Susan, as they walked away. "You are!" he stopped short, in amazement. "Yes, I am I" Susan returned his smile with another. "I could no more go home now than after the first act of a play!" she confessed.
"Sure, there's a strike," Mrs. Cudahy agreed, with quiet grimness, and under her breath she added heavily, "Sure there is!" "And are Mr. Oliver's are the men out?" Susan asked. "There's nine hundred men out," Mrs. Cudahy told her, coldly. "Nine hundred!" Susan stopped short. "But Billy's not responsible for all that!" she added, presently. "I don't know who is, then," Mrs. Cudahy admitted grimly.
Forty Mile, so called because the river of that name enters the Yukon forty miles above the Boundary, was a considerable camp prior to the Dawson boom, but thereafter it had languished, and this winter it was all but deserted. So, too, was Cudahy, the rival trading-post a half-mile below. It was on the bars of this stream that the earliest pioneers had first found gold.
At that time the nearest recording office was in the police barracks at Fort Cudahy, just across the river from Forty Mile; but when it became bruited abroad that Eldorado Creek was a treasure-house, it was quickly discovered that Olaf Nelson had failed to make the down-Yukon trip to file upon his property.
Carpenter's office, and Billy came home to Susan and Mrs. Cudahy, and sat for a tense hour playing moodily with Lizzie's baby. Then the committee came back, almost as silently as it had come last night. But this time it brought news. The strike was over. Very quietly, very gravely, they made it known that terms had been reached at last.
"What new thing?" he asked sharply. "Why, this this plan of Mr. Carpenter's to bring a train-load of men on from Philadelphia," said Susan, half-proud and half- frightened. "Who said so?" he demanded abruptly. "Why, I don't know his name, Billy yes I do, too! Mrs. Cudahy called him Jarge " "George Weston, that was!" Billy's eyes gleamed. "What else did he say?"
