That morning it win nenr dawn the
how superintendent was tired out. Kor the
altuatlon was grave, and tho Inst days and
night had been busy.
Tho mrn were out In he steel mills and
they wcro oh rough and 'mixed a lot as you
Lould find.
Tho new superintendent had started In
n ono of the steel workers, and had mas
tered his trade so well that now with little
!rcvloiif mechanical training Delafleld had
thought him the man for the position ut
Otranto. Tho cutiso of the trouble hail
been dun In a grest measure to tho old
superintendent's, Hillings, lark of tact, ami
Delaflelil. who had watrhed Dcnby from the
first had considered him the man.
for three, years ho hud worked among
tho men -knew them from A to 'A, and
had gone his way up mustering details. Ho
rilil not pc p m to have a vice or a falling,
though when ho had appealed at Otranto
ho was a forry enough fellow. He had
brought a letter from Ilronson, himself one
of thu principal directors, recommending
Mm to Dclaflcld'n good gracea.
"I don't want any favoritism on account
nf Mr. Hronson's letter," he had cald. "All
I want is 11 chance to begin In tho mlllo
nt tho very lowest rung nf the laddor. I
am strong enough, or shall bo when I am
myself again."
Delafleld had looked him over, putting
Mm down as a man who had gono to
pieces, and thinking that ho would wear
out. Hut ho did not wear out, and Dela
fleld, watching him curiously, hail nccn him
day by day. his faco growing strong, his
fcllght, compact, muscular figure gaining
r.race, that rough clothes could not hide.
Ho was a gentleman, certainly. Delafleld de
cided. Ilut ihe had no mall, no one In
quired for hln.; whether Ms real namo wuro
Deiiby or not nobody knew. He never
accepted Dclafleld's Invitation to dine that
came after a year. Ho was a curious, Iso
lated figure, with, directly tho manager
nav, the power to command men. The en
gineer, with their mechanical school ex
perience, men who brought a touch of iho
city of Otrando, Bomo men from tho hophlati
cntcd world, too, began to defer to him,
und Delafleld, watchful of everything, saw
It all. Directly he was advising with this
man of 30, of whoso past ho know so little,
but who was certainly an educated man.
Onco his curiosity led him to ask (ho had
asked no questions when Dcnby had ap
peared): "You aro a connection of Mr. Hronoon's?"
"No."
"Or, cxciiso me, won't you? You wcro
rent hero to learn tho business."
"I camo hero bccatiFo I had to have work.
That was all. My mnttors are of no conse
quence, to anyone."
Ilut Delafleld still had a private theory that
this was soma one from tho powers who
might suddonly develop Into a director, and,
outaldo of his admiration for Denby'H pluck
nnd aptitude, ho gavo him further deference.
Hut Drnby required nothing; nor books, tavo
those bearing on his trade; nor companlon
nbfpj only his thoughts and his work, for
filch ho had a Berserker rage. And now,
nftcr three years, during which ho had not
stirred from Otranto, ho waa tho now super
intendent. Otranto Is twenty miles from Hyfleld,
nmong tho wooded northwestern rennsyl-
vanlan hills. For twenty miles about thero
la nothing but rough hill country. The place
has 5,000 miners and steel workers. Thoro
Is no ono elso there, savo the. local tncr
chnntB'ond the. groic shop-kerpomr nothing
but (he high, desolate hills that Denby had
grown to like.
Now, after this hard day, out of sheer ex
haustion, ho bad sunk hiH faco on his hands
on his desk In tho superintendent's olTIco
and slept. Klftcen hundred of tho steel
workers worn out and all day a sheriffs
poseo of thirty mon, tho superintendent, a
few clerks, a few others who had not gonn
out, had protected the company's property.
Delafleld was In I'lttsburg. This morning a
militia company would arrive. The nattcr
would be knocked Into order of course, nut
Denby must hold out. For a week ho had
f-carcely slept.
llo was dreaming of places far away, of
events long past, when the sheriff touched
him on tho shoulder.
"They are out there everywhere swarm
ing, Mr. Dcnby, and here is a man to speak
to you."
Donby, his biond hair In disorder around
a high forehead, wheeled about.
"Well, Lynch, what's the matter now?"
Lynch shuffle! from sldo to hide, hla burly
hands bulging his pockets.
"I am not for burnln' and pullln' to pieces.
It can't do no good."
"Only hurt yourselves, of course, nut
you mado us fight to keep you from your
selves." "You have worked among us."
"I work among you now."
"Ilut for tho company."
"So do you. Lynch. Well, what Is It?"
"I havo been tnlkln' this among tho men,
hut they aro mad."
"I ought to know that."
"And they arc madder about the sheriff
nnd madder about tho soldiers. Why, If It
hadn't been for you"
"Don't mind me."
If It hadn't been because many knew you
hla head." He remembered that the sheriff
had almost advised running. The sheriff of
that county had regard for his own bones,
and for a re-election, as well as for tho
law, while the posse, he knew, more than
half-sympathized with tho rioters.
"Well, Denby. what aro you going to
do?" camo a voice Hadford's. He could
sco the man's dark, earnest face. In some '' er
way ho felt like an actor In a play; the
high hills, the dull, enraged mob, grouped
there In that half-light, as If arranged by tho
stage manager.
"To fight you, my friends, If you won't
listen; to save you, my friends, with whom
I havo worked, it you will be saved. Kor
you light hopelessly. You array against you
the law. You weaken yourselves. You end
by starving yourselves. Whatever the
wrong In this difference, you ure not right
ing It now. In nrotcctlnc the comnany. my
employer, I am as well protecting you. Yes-
teruay you burned buildings and the rail
road bridge, and tore up some track. You
destroyed J60.0OO worth of properly."
"Kaslly." Jeered one.
"Ilut you shall go no further. You havo
honored mo bv liking me somo of you.
Now I say back to your homes, for your
women's sako for your children's sake. If
you are wronged, as worklngmen, you have

you can govern trusts. If you aro organized

Presently ho was doing things he once

" The' superintendent" took fronvTiIs pocket a
long revolver, and held It, tapping it.
"Then, my friends, we fight I for you,
as well ns for this company. I have told
you all this before as well as now. I am
sorry heart sorry that jou give me no
nlternntlve."
In tho crowd Denby's words ns ho spoko
them -had been translated into Hungarian,
Polish nnd muny dialcctu to llttlo atten
tive throngs. Already In tho rear many
had begun to walk back down the long)
street, nnd tho sun burst In Its glory over
the frlngo of pines. As If Its advent woic
a signal soveral In the front pushed toward
the speaker nnd the mills, nnd It was thon
for Denby's presence might have awed
them that a number of tho posse, nervous
nnd untrained, fired. A man fell, whllo a,
dull roar of rage arose.
The superintendent walked calmly back
toward the mills, still tupping his pistol, not
raising It; und then turned with folded
nrms.
As he did so the crowd began to break, -whllo
some ono shouted over his shoulder it waa
Graham, one of the bookkeepers
"Company F came on last night. They
snw that the road was torn up and took
tho log pike- over Pelton's hill, and are
coming down through the woods. They
have found It out."
"They certainly have," Denby cried, as
ho watched tho scattering crowd. "I would
give a hundred If that man hadn't shot."
He rushed down Into the street.
"Who was hurt?" ho asked,
Ho forgot himself, though tho men be
fore tho mills shouted after him. These
were his people after all; ho understood
them ho had worked with them.
As ho rnn ho dropped hla pistol Into his
pocket, and soon ho was In tho throng.

"They'd burn the company') houses, I sup
pose, If they had anywhere else to put their
families," Denby remarked.
"Yes," said Lynch, with a grim smile,
"they would. Ilut now It's como to tho pass
where- they can't bo held back nothln' can
hold them back. Those, of 11.1 that has stood
up can't nny longer."
"Poor dovllH, poor devils why can't they
know they aro only trying to starve them
selves. They can't hold out."
"Of course not, but that 'mounts to nothln'
when their blood's up."
"I know, but I want to talk to them."
"They would heave rocks at you now."
"Rnrtford la tho worst, of course?"
"Yes, rorr."
"I am going out to rpenk to them."
"I wouldn't," said Lynch.
"You mutn'i," said the sheriff.
"No, no, Mr. Denby." Lynch went on. "I

had known It. Ilut ho was not thinking
of this at the moment.
"Who was it?"
"Radford damn you, Denby! They aro
taking him to his mother's"
"Damn me, or not, but get Dr. Fox.
Quick!"
He pushed his way Into a bare frame
house. A number of men stood about, look
ing nt him in sullen surprise. On the bed
Radford's big, brnwny form was ptretched
out. while n woman leaned over him.
"They've killed hlm-my lad killed him
my lad and thero ho Is thero ho Is
to take him to prlRon!"
One of the bystanders lifted his (1st with:
"Get out rf here," and a number nf ad
jectives thrown In. Ilut It was Radforl
himself who protested.
"Don't touch Mr. Dcnby: I've worked
hcsldo him. Don't touch him. He didn't
do it. It was that farmer o' the sheriff's."
"I couldn't help finding out how badly
you were hurt. I am dead borry. I camo
here without thinking."
,nd It Is said to this dav that this Impul-
friends, told her that peoplo fled from
him ns ruts from a sinking ship, he said to
himself. Ilut he had new friends, not such
nice ones, to be sure, and soon, when certain
successes he had had on "the street" turned
to failures, these too, began tho "cutting"
process "Fellows I wouldn't have in my
house," Denby said.
Then there came tho dreadful day when
tho dear old general turned as adamant
nnd told him bo had disgraced the family.
Ilut his mother, In tho graveyard, could
not know or did she know?
In twon things went from bad to worse.
If sullen prldo often held him up, there wero
other days when shame tore Donby'a heart.
Ills friends were gone; his family was gone:
ho was snubbed at his clubs; ho had become
one of those who "disappear. ou see
thorn about for some years and then they
vanish, and you wonder "where."
Of n day at this perlol of his carcor ho
passed Annlo somewhere near Washington
square. Sho bowed as graciously ns ever.
He replied ns stlflly ns ho could. Hut sho
looked back and called out:
"Why, Jim; why don't you ever call now?"
"11 haven't time: nnd you know you
know, you ought not to want to sco me."
"I will prove that. You simply have to
persist not to give up. It's work you want
work work. As for you, Jim, I havo
known you too long not to want to see you
at any time under any circumstances,"
Sho spoke rapidly and her eyes and words
were earnest, and ho was out of her class,
utterly out of It a man unclasscd.
Ho broko away ns soon as he could. Ho
did not want to havo people see her with
lilm; there was too much scandal, truo und
untrue, about him; and, thank heaven, ho
had something of the gentleman left.
Ilut her words rang In bis ears, "It's work
you want work."
Ho had dawdled nnd fooled nnd thrown
things away; but she had recognized him
with no forced smile. And there was a way
lnngi'l f r at time h a fb e Miiiy
Yet at lait he had tiusieird himself in Ihe
day of work.' -
Now. waking with the gurgling strenm In
his cars, Mil this past paraded, unit he
sprang up. remembering
"I have forgotten that Delafleld may want
me."
A short time after this Delafleld brought
h!n n wire to the effect that the prtslilent
of the company wanted the new superin
tendent's presence in New York.
"I don't care to go," Denby answered
Yet. why shouldn't he? Ho wns sttong.
sure of himself now. Ambition tugged at his
heart, nnd then that longing for home, for
the old ways, camo over him. If people
chose to snub him, ho felt now that he could
show them a man who no longer enred. He
felt tho strong man he was; who had thrown
all his passionate strength Into what ho
had been doing. There were the people, the
workers, as he himself had been, as ho was;
the workers o often misled, so Incapacitated
for seeing things clearly. He must use his
strength for them; his strength that had
como like tho steel out of the fire.
"You would better go. They may want
you for unanager," Delafleld laughed.
Ho threw somo clothes Into n trunk and
went. They wcre clothes rather out of date,
but well made, ho thought. As ho drow to
ward New York tho longing for the old
things was stronger even to tho detail to
sit once more In a club; to have a good
dinner, served by good servants: to wear
well mado clothes. Ho had gone down
among tho people nnd now he belonged to
both classed.
Tho president of the company saw that as
ho walked Into his office.
"You have dono us good service. Mr.
Denby. Not nil the good fighting has been
In tho Philippines and the Transvaal."
Ilrmson. too, entering the room nt tho
moment, took his hand warmly.
"Havo you been told?" ho asked. "No?
Well. Mr. Delafleld Is to como to Now York
as general manager. We want you, If wo
can havo you, as manager nt Hyfleld nnd nt
Otranto."
Tho younger man's eyes met theirs
pquarely and his faco was firm.
"You aro ory good. 1 appreciate it. Hut
as I can do best for myself nnd for you
In acting according to my lights" He
paused, thinking It waB easier to tnlk to tho
men.
"It's this," ho went on. "My speech began
too warmly. I understand those men. I
havo been ono of them. 1 will do the best I
can for you if tho labor matter Is left to
me."
"It shall be." said Hronson quickly, for
ho was tho principal owner; "you have our
confidence and that of the men under you."
That evening he stopped In tho one club
ho had kept up as a small concession to
pride. Ho felt afraid of no man now. Men
camo forward nnd greeted him some charily,
somo readily ns if ho had been gono but
yesterday, as Is tho way. nnd they soon
forget If you keep your head high.
Rut he wno not thinking of them.
An early morning train carried him to
Far Wcstchrstor.
An old man walking ncrots tho lawn saw
him.
It was as If It were years ngn almost;
for, with a pang, he saw hew much older
that old man had become how uncertain
hla step. And then ho was beside him.
"How I havo missed you; how I have
longed for you. When you were gono I
wanted you back. I was cruelly hard. If
your mother had 'been alive "
"Hush, hush, sir. Sho never knew, thank
God. And I have been cruel to you."
"Ilut If sho saw you now, Jim."
"She docs, perhaps, sir," Jim said softly.
"For I bollevo in heaven now. I believe tho
whole old story."
"Why shouldn't you, sir; you aro a
Denby?"
Ho nsked for his sister and his brothers,
and then, as he askel, he saw her on tho
lawn, almost 011 tho very spot where the
chubby-faced girl bnd been In tbo dream,
or tho memory.
"Tho old houto Is about tho same tho
people are, too," the general Bald, "ns they

nut Jim bad gone to meet Her.
"I have come back to you. Shall I go
away?" he said.
"t am so glad to see you. Jim so glad
1 have missed you. 1 never can forgive yoj
for going away without calling"
They strolled slowly tonnrd the red house.
"You hurt us so much so much."
"Did I hurt you, too as much as th
others you, who stood by me?"
"I did not know that I did particularly,
but I could not believe all they said. '
"Even If you hsd believed-?"
1 "1 should have wanted to see you"
I "Ah, my dear," he cried, out of his heart
' "I want to take yoli Into my arms and hold
, you. I wanted to do It that day on the lower
nvenue; but I was not worthy of you. It
was the thought that you believed In mo
that has mnde me work, and try."
Sho was all red now, and her volco
trembled.
"Don't; they are coming out. They will"
"What?"
"Know."
"Then I mustn't take you"
"You goose you dear, Jim. If you havo
wnltcd three years ou can wait."
"How long?"
"Well an hour."
