Mr.. Hardy walked on tboughtfully
and then glanced at the young man at
his side. He was Q feet tail. not very
handsome. as Bessie had frankly said.
but he had a good face. a steady. clear
blue eye and resolute air. as Of one
who was willing to work hard to get
what he wanted. Mr.. Hardy could not
help contrasting him with his own
prematurely broken down son George.
and he groaned Inwardly as he thought
of the foolish pride that would bar the
doors Of his family 10 young man
like James Caxton simply because he
was poor and because his father had
won In a contested election In which
the two older men were candidates for

young man with businesslike look:

with a momentary touch Of his old
time feeling. "The men are unrea-

'Tm afraid there'll be trouble, sir.
I can feel 1t In the air." replied Burns.
Mr.. Hardy made no reply in words,
but looked at him. Within the black
ened area Of the great shop about 200
men were at work. The whirl OF ma
chinery was constant. The grind OF
steel on iron was blended with the rat

metal carriages in their tracks. The
Genius Of Railroading seemed present
in the grim strength and rapidity Of
several machines which moved almost

played with the most unyielding sub
