"Why do you ask? There IL nothing

CHAPTER w.

SAAshA 4 A/AS Avs
The coroner ut first was averse to off,
cial action In Peters case. The opinion
Of the physician was sufficient, he
thought, until he received note from
one Of the owners Of the Star Mil. Mr..
Meeker was Of the opinion an inquest
should be held; concern employing 80
many wOrkmen could not afford to leave
any ground for speculation.
So the jury was got together, duly
sworn, repaired In body to Mr.. Peters
house, where they viewed the remains In
silence, and then retired solemnly to a
neighbOr's Office, placed ut their disposal,
where the witnesses appeared before
them.
The first witness called was Daniel
Atherton. the puddler. The irOnworker
looked unusually grave. His manner was
collected. his tones measured as he gave
his testimony. Mr.. Meeker was present.
He was talking to Anterior In a low tone
when the jury entered the office.
There Is no use giving out to the world
that Peters was In passion when he
fell" he said. "YOu see, while II Is true,
1t will only create an erroneous impress
sion. The papers will publish It, aud In
such way that It may do Peters injns-
tice and pain his relatives. Here Ii a
man dead, with nothing against him SO
far, until the idea gets out all ut once
he was a passionate. bossing sort Of a
fellow-and that rObs him or his people
Of sympathy. ! think, II ! We're You, I'd
con6ne myself to answers, instead of
volunteering statement"
And there was Grip. very solemn, and
as silent as the grave. This silence ex-
asperated the irOnwOrker. He was In
clined to tell all that passed, and In the
order In which the incidents occurred, II
for no other reason than to show his dis
regard Of Mr.. Grips suggestions.
But when he stood up before the jury,
his kindlier nature asserted itself, as
often happened with him, and thus he
laid the foundation for future trouble,
as kindness and disposition to oblige
often does.
Instead Of relating oil that happened
the previous day, he simply answered
such questions as were prOpounded by the
coroner.
"Yes, he had met Mr.. Peters about ten
minutes before he was stricken down. He
met him In the mill yard. They were
talking about one OF the furnaces when
he was ssised. There was one other

"rhanks. old fellow. When you are

"Ever 30 much Obliged" interrupted
Mayberry with a laugh.
And thus the friends and fellow clerks
parted. Not word was said Of the cpl
sode In the mill. Mayberry, usually free
and unrcserved. was silent. He con
fessed to himself when alone that, were
