were being discussed, and as 1t drew
near to midnight again Robert Hardy
felt almost happy In the atmosphere Of
that home and the thought that he
could still for little while create Joy
for those who loved him. Suddenly he
spoke Of his other son:
II wish George would come In. Then
our family circle would be complete.
But 1t is bedtime for you, Bess. and all
Of US, for that matter
1t was just then that steps were
heard on the front porch, and voices
were heard as II talking In whispers.
The bell rang. Mr.. Hardy rose to 60
to the door. His wife clung to him ter
rif1ed.
"Oh. don't 60. Robertl l am afraid
for you"
"Why. Mary. 1t cannot be anything
to harm me. Don't be alarmed"
Nevertheless he was little startled.
The day had been trying one for him.
He went to the door. bis wife and the
children following him close behind.
He threw It wide open, and there. sup

Of them the young man Mr.. Hardy
had seen In the hotel lobby at noon,
was his son George. too drunk to stand
alone. He leered into the face of his
father and mother with drunken look
that froze their souls with despair as
the blaze Of the hall lamp fell upos
him reeling there.
And SO the first Of Robert Hardy's
seven days came to an end.
TO BE CONTINUED.

Burns looked surprised, but made
answer. describing briefly the acci-
dents. Mr.. Hardy listened intently
with bowed head. At last he looked
up and said abruptly:
'Coms into the casting ROOM"
They went out Of the office, passed
through the repairing shops and enter
ed the foundry department. Even on
that bright winter morning, with the
air outside so clear and cool, the atmos-
phere In this place was murky and
close. The forges In the blacksmith
room at the farther end glowed through
the smoke and dust like smoldering
piles Of rubbish dumped here and there
BY chance upon some desolate moor
and stirred by Ill omened demons Of
the neither world. Mr.. Hardy shudder-
I'd as he thought Of standing in such an
atmosphere all day to work at severe
muscular toll He recalled with sharp
vividness q request made only two
months before for dust fans which had
proved successful in other shops and
which would remove a large part Of
the heavy, coal laden air, supplying
fresh air in its place. The company
had refused the request and had even
said through one Of Its officers that
when the men wore out the company
could easily get more.
Mr.. Hardy and the foreman paused
at the entrance to the casting room
where the men had been injured the
day before. A few men were working
sullenly. Mr.. Hardy asked the fore
man to call the men together near the
other end Of the room he wanted to
say something to them. He walked
over there while the foreman spoke to
the men. They dropped their tools and
came over to where Mr.. Hardy was
standing. They were mostly Scandi-
navians and Germans, with a sprin-
king of Irish and Americans. Mr..
Hardy looked at them thoughtfully.
They were hard looking crowd. Then
he said very slowly and distinctly:
"You may quit work until after SEQ
ville's funeral. The machinery here

The men stood impassive for mo-
ment Finally big Dane stepped up
and said:
I'VE be no minded to quit work
these times. We no can afford 1t. Give
N work in some other place."
Mr.. Hardy looked at him and replied
quietly:
"The wages will 60 on just the same
while you are out"
There was perceptible stir among
the men. They looked confused and
incredulous. Mr.. Hardy still looked at
them thoughtfully.
Finally the big Dane stepped for
ward again and said, speaking more
respectfully than he did at first:
"Mr. Hardy, we be thinking maybe
you would like to help towards him the

A tear actually rolled down the

dropped into the coal dust at his fest.

bis love for his daughter, but Mr.. Har-
dy had treated 1t as a child's affair, and
In accordance with his usual policy In
family matters had simply told Clara
and Bess to discontinue their visits at
the old neighbor's. But now that he
heard the story from the lips Of his
own daughter he saw the seriousness
Of 1t, and crowding back all his former
pride and hatred Of the elder Caxton he
promised Clara to see James the next
day.

its throbbing tremor and longed to es-

have gone to the clubroom and had .

he would have gone down and idled
away an hour or two before supper at
the Art museum, where he was a con-
stant visitor-that was when he had
plenty Of time and the business Of the
Office was not pressing. Young Well
man, however, had succeeded to the
clerical details Of the shops, and Mr..
Hardy's time was generally free after
1 o'clock.
He had been oppressed with the
thought of the other injured men. He
must 60 and see them. He could not
rest till he had personally visited them.
He went out and easily ascertained
where the men lived. Never before did
the contrast between the dull, uninter-
esting row of shop tenements and his
own elegant home rise up so sharply
before him. In fact, he had never
given 1t much thought before. Now,
as he looked forward to the end Of the
week. he knew that at its close he
would be no richer. no better able to
enjoy luxuries than the dead man lying
In No. 200. He wondered vaguely but
how he could make use of
what he had heaped together to make
the daily lives Of some Of these poor
men happier.

North DakOtA Officials Unite in q
Movement for His Recognition.
Paul Crum, the young son Of Attor-
ney Crum of Fargo, beat his way
across the Pacific and followed Com
pany B. North Dakota volunteers, for
some months in the Philippine service.
He started in carrying water on the
firing ine. and pretty soon had Il gun,
shooting away at the insurgents as big
as life. He was only sixteen years old,
and could rot enlist. Later. he at
tached himself to the Nebraska troops,
and. while not enlisted as a member,
perform ed all the duties of regular
soldier. including guard mounts. As
he was not officially connected with
some regiment. he was unable to Sc
cure discharge or have anything to
show for his good work except the let
ters from the officers Of the companies
with which he served. Judge Pollock
and others have taken the matter uo,
and congress will be asked to pass 4
special law covering the case, so the
youthful son Of Mars can have the
credit to which he is entitled All the
officers Of the state supreme court and
the United States officials in the diff
ferent departments have signed Il De-
tition to be sent to the North Dakota
representatives at Washington.
The Mahuken divorce case. which
was denied by Judge Lauder and aD-
pealeG to the supreme court, has been
argued. The court will hand down Il
decision at an EARLY da+e. Mrs. Mahn-
ken. the, plaintiff. is the daughter Of
Mayor Johnson and Mr.. Mahnken is
the retiring city attorney.
The suit of n. G. Gagnier against the
city of Fargo for $1,000 damages, on
account of injuries received from fall
from a bicycle on the sidewalk. was
thrown out of court on the demurrer.
and a new complaint will be made.
Gagnier was riding a wheel on the
sidewalk and struck defective spot,
resulting in Il painful accident. The
city will set up the fact that the plaint-
iff was violating the city ordinance in
riding a wheel on the sidewalk.
