Then there was his family. OF course

position. His wife and daughters had
always enjoyed luxury and good place

as the day wore into evening

Then the whistle blew the engines
slowed down, and the mon dropped
their tools and ran for the hlockAouse.

click, click, OF the blocks as the mon
filed pass the window of tho bockhouse

I'm not going just yet. havo some

he heard tho last man deposit his block
The mon behind the block case went
out The engineer and his assistants
had work for half an hour bat they
went out at another door
At o'clock that evening any one
who had looked into the supcriutend-
ent Office would have seen an unusual
sight. He was lnccling down and his
face was buried i'm his hands as he
bowed his head upon the papers on his
