CHAPTER DISCONTINUED,
That lS too true,' said Henry: And

I'm not a gentleman. I'm an old

Excuse me, sir; you look like q gem
ueman, and talk like One.'
And ! try 10 conduct myself like
one; but l am an old Saw" ID,
What and carry u gold eye.glass ?
The Trade gave It me. I'm an old
We'll, then, all the better, for you can
tell me, and please do; have you ever
actually known fatal accidents from
this cause2 p
4 have known the light grinders very
much shaken by q breaking stone, and
away from work month after Il, And,
working among saw.grlnders, who use
heavy stones, and stand over them In
working, I've seen -. Billy, 90 and
look at thy shilling, In the yard, and
see which ID brightest, Il or the moon.
10 he gone? I've seen three men die
within a few yards OF me. One, the
stone flew In two pieces; u fragment
Weighing about four hundred weight,
should say, struck him on the breast,
and killed him on the place; he never
spoke. I've forgotten his very name.
Another, the stone went clean out OF
the window; but It Kicked the grinder
backward among the machinery, and
his head was crushed like an egg shell.
But the worst Of all was poor Bllly's
father. He had been warned against
his stonei but he said he would
run 1t out. Well, his little boy, that is
Billy, had Just brought him In his tea
and was standing beside him, when the
stone wont like pistol shot, and
snapped the horsing chains like thread.
A piece struck the wall, aud did no
hArm-only made a hole; but the big
ger half went clean up to the ceiling,
and then fell plump down again; the
grinder he was knocked stupid like,
and had fallen forward on his broken
horslng. The RrindRtoue fell right on
him, and, ah-I saw the son covered
with the father's blood"
He shuddered vlslbly at the recolloc-
ton. 'Ah,' said he, the man a corpse
and the lad an idiot. One faulty stone
did that, within four yards OF me. In
q moment Of tlme.'
Good heavensp ..t
i was grinding at the next stone but
one. lie was taken, and was left. 1t
might just aB well have been the other
way. No saw.grinder can make sure
when he gets on his horsIng, that he
will come of 1t aIive.'
The visitor left Henry to think of
this, while he drew Bayne aside and
spoke on another matter.
Afterward, all three left the works
together, and Henry was so pleased
with his new ally that he told 6Im, ut
the gate, he should be glad II ho might
be allowed to make his acquaintance.
BY all MEANS said the other. Il am
quite at your service. You will find
me at the 'Cutler's Arms
Who shall ask for?'
George Grotait.'
'Grotait. The devil |!
No, no. Not quite 30 bad as that
What, said Henry, roughly, do
you mean to say you are Old Smitem p
That Is name fools give me-
Henry had no reply ready, and so
the sturdy old secretary got the better
OF him again, and went his way I'M
rufhed.
Henry scolded Bayne for not telling
him. Bayne excused himself on the
ground that he thought everybody
knew Grotnit. He added, He knew
you, and told me II he could serve You,
without being unjust 10 the Trades, l
was to tell him.
Henry replied to this ouly by a snort
OF defiance, and babe him good night,
The next day and the next were spent
In other works, and then Henry, nav
Ing no more facts to learn, fell into
deep detection again. He saw he must
either cheat DR.. Amboyne, by shaminR
work, or else must leave HillsborouRh,
he had the honesty to 20 to the Doc
tor and say that he had mastered the
whole matter, and didn't zee his way
