PLUCK.
BY Laura e. Richards.

"Yes," said the ironmaster, "6rst
honesty, and then pluck-those are
the things needful. Speaking of
pluck" He stopped to answer the
summons of the telephone, said YES"
and NO." by turns for five minutes,
and then resumed:
Speaking Of pluck, as you were
doing just now, reminds me Of story,
the beginning and end Of which is that
one word"
We settled ourselves in our chairs.
We were sitting in the office of the
iron-works, and the air was full of the
sound of great hammers, crashing and
pounding; Of the sharp hiss Of molten
metal, and the clear ring Of smitten
steel. -

eight. Time goes so fast, hardly try
to keep count of it in these days. At
any rate, here l was sitting, reading
the newspaper, when there came a
knock at the door.
"'Come in" said; and In walked a
stranger. He was young man, about
twenty-five years old, dressed like
gentleman, though his clothes had seen
good deal of service. Tall, with his
head held up, and gray eyes that met
mine fair and square.

"Good morning, sirv he said; and
bis voice had clear ring to it that /

ne any?"
Il shook my head. We never took
strangers in that way, and l don't
recommend the practice at any time.
"'No, sir" l said. We have no work
here. Sorry l can't accommodate
you.' l took up my paper again, and

derstand, with nothing l could take

MY good SIR said, putting the
paper down, there is no vacancy in
the place. II you will give me your
name and your references, I will
