skilled labor productive to something
useful to humanity and likely to be in
permanent demand. And of all the
trades that even the cenSuStakerS
have found out, none suited him so
we'll as iron-working, particularly that
branch of it now SO important in our
large cities, the construction of build
ings. To this he resolved to devote
himself.
Believing in '.knowing from the
ground up" anything he sought to
learn. he commenced his new career as
a day laborer in the foundry of the
great Vulcan Works., wheeling sand
and cleaning castings. At the same
time, with an eye to some day becom-
ing an employer. he deemed this an
opportune time for acquiring thorough
knowledge of the class of toilers among
whom he had cast his lot. and to this
end went to live in mechanics board
ing-house. Men could not expect
much of the comforts of life for So per
week, the rate paid there, but would
have been justified in disappointment
at what was actually afforded in that
establishment Its only abundances
We're dirt and foul air.
Within a fortnight, his quick observa-
tion and alert intelligence made him
valuable helper" and in little time
more he had so far mastered the details
of iron-founding, as practiced in that
foundry, that though still only ranking
and paid as laborer, he was really
doing the work of skilled moulder. He
had been at this a couple of months,
when one day he electrified the fore
man by calling his intention to the in
1erior quality of a new lot of pigs" the
first melting from which had just been
made. Clearly and with technical ac-
curacy he stated the defective chemical
composition of the iron, by reason of
which castings made from it would
fall atleast ten per cent. below the min
tmum of strength they should possess.
Not another among the thirty mould
ers of the foundry, all supposedly
skillful men, had, or could have, made
the discovery, the correctness OF which
readily proved. When asked how he, a
lalborer, came to know so much about
iron, he modestly replied that he had
''pfcked up a little about it in college,"
That incident gave him new stand
Ing, for not only the foreman but his
employers-to whom 1t was duly re-
ported-were grateful and appreciative.
Learning that he wished to gain knowl-
edge Of the iron business in all Its de-
partments, they encouraged and in
short time, aided him, by q transfer to
the rolling mill, where he speedily
learned the making of steel girders,
beams, etc. Then an incident, needless
to relate but fortuitous as that which
gave him distinction in the foundry,
brought out the fact that ne was good
mechanical draughtsman, with eyi-
dences Of taste as a designer; and he
was promoted to the drawing" room.
Here he remained until, in an emer-
gency, he was called upon to essay the
duties of assistant foreman in the act

reached when Constance Dessne found

Jacks anticipation OF speedy return

"A mob instantly filled the street be-
