THE STRIKE
AT ROCKYBOTTOM
BY J. A. CoNWELL.

The board of directors of the Rocky
bottom Iron Works was in session. The
question before the board was wheth-
er the works should close or not.
You must understand, gentlemen"
argued Mr. White, president of the
company and chief owner of the stock,
that we are now operating the works
at little or no profit and that the cause
or it is the unexpected failure of the
June rise in the river and consequent
lack of cheap fuel. We must shut
down. There is no other course"
How can we do that?" inquired MIR.
Gray, treasurer of the company, local
merchant and principal magnate of The
town that had grown up around the
works. Our contract with the Broad
way Bridge Company requires us TO
deliver a big lot of finished iron every
week"
There is a clause in the contract
which suspends it's operation during a
shutdown occasioned by strike, or
by an accident to the machinery" an
swered the president.
But there is no strike and the ma
chinery is all right"

mer. But we can't do it and live half
way decent"
And if you strike?'
He'd expect to start up at the old
wages as soon as coal comes, and he'd
do it, too
I'm what way do you expect me to
help you?"
You have your warehouse filled with
everything that We'll need. There are
400 of u.s., Mr.. Gray, and you know
there is not a black sheep among us.
If you'll honor our committees orders
for supplies we'll obligate ourselves.
jointly and severally, to repay you as
soon as we get to work again. And
two weeks work, maybe less, will pay
the debt We shall be very grateful
for your help. VIII you not do for us
what you'd like to have some one do
for you if you stood in our shoes"
Gray knew the men, their wives and
their children, and being man of few
words, quick of decision in an emery
ency, and amply able to comply with
the request, he answered, "All right
Mason. I'll do it, but l want You to
cOuntersign the orders. Then III be
sure there's no extravaganza.
Suppose the works should not start

She stopped, Mortified at the white,
shocked face of her mother. Then she
flung both arms round the trembling
figure and held the little mother tight.
Il don't mean to be wicked, but
can't help it. Only, l do love you
mother, dear, and, o, l wish l hadn't"
She caught her breath and turned
quickly to tear open one of the pack
ages from which she took out a ready
made dress of black and white lawn,
trimmed with narrow black lace
There it is. mother mine!'
For a time the elder woman sat ST.
lently picking at the narrow edging
which had become crumpled in car
rying. Her touch was almost rever-
ent. 1t had been so many years since
she had owned a whole new dress.
Then two great tears of joy splashed
on the insertion which crisis crossed
the front of the waist.
20. Fife, how did you know I'd
dreamed of haVin' a dres like this
every summer for five years? But
I'm afraid you spent too much for it.

Two cool firm hands drew away the
dress, and %iie, tall self-contained
Effie, slipped into her mothers arms
and clarsed both hands about her
neck.
Mother. dearest mother you make
me feel 50 utterly selfish-you who
made me whatever | am, who gave the
best there was in you for me, to see
you make such a fuss over a little

gown lovingly
DO YOU think there is any celebra =
ton worthy of this dress? Besides, I'm
not going to Chadron. l hate speeches
and fireworks" And the two women
went down stairs arm in arm.
1t was not until bedtime that David
Grimes preached the subject of the cell
ebration. His wife had been called to
the BEDSIDE of a sick neighbor, and
he sat alone with Fife on the porch.
You'd better take the o'clock train
for Chadron tomorrow l want you to
be on hand for the exercises. but you
can't go over in the buggy, I'm prom

Il hope so, father" said the girl
smoothly. but l don't care to go
Mother will be lonely here and l shall
stay With her"
Then as if the matter were closed,
she rose and walked deliberately in the
direction her mother had taken For
a moment David Grimes sat as one
stunned, then there rushed into his
mind the dozen or more effective an
swers which he should have made to
this open rebellion. So much for letting
ones children leave home and achieve

Ting with this nigh-handed young wo-
man-but not tonight He must pre-
serve his energy. his diplomacy, his
voice for the morrow. There was much
at stake on the morrow.
A narrow tcail of white dust against
cloudless blue sky was all that told
of the departure of David Grimes for
the scene of his anticipated triumphs.

dejectedly into the nearest chair. She
glanced at the mirror opposite and a
mist swan before her eyes. Yes, she
was getting old and haggard. If
David went to Washington, Effie must
accompany him. Yet it was her own
efforts to save, her daily drudGery
that would provide the means. In a
vague way Mandy realized that to
the honest man politics is not always
a profitable vocation.
Her revery was interrupted by
voices in the front yard. a girlish
treble asking eager questions, then
boyish falsetto exclaimins excitedly:
Say, Effie, won't you give me
quarter? There's going to be a circus
in town tomorrow, and Dad says I
can't 60 and he won't take me to

apprehension, drew her daughter in

Tiny lines formed around the girls
mouth, but her voice was gentle.

have so much to tell you"

The men of Jepson Center said that
David Grimes was a shrewd politician,
with a clean record and he deserved
to go to Congress The women pro-
nounced him a hard taskmaster and
husband, skinhint, unworthy of the
wife who had helped to make him
what he was. the political autocrat of
Niobrara county. But Grimes cared
little enough for the latter opinion.
Women could not vote. The greed for
votes, for political advancement ana
power, was upon him, and the morrow
would mark the first great crisis of his
life.
From justice of the peace to con-
gresham in eight years! His first
election had been a walkover. The Of
flee of sheriff had fairly fallen into his
lap, and he had gone to the state legis-
lature backed by the solid vote of his
party. But the office of congressman
was the gift not only of his own county,
but of Rock Creek also, and then there
was young Jameson of Chadron to be
considered. Well, to-morrow's confer
ference would settle the question.
Smythe manager of the great land
syndicate and irrigation company
which controlled mile after mile of
redeemable property and hundreds of
votes, was coming from Omaha to at
tend the county celebration at Chad
ron on Independence day, to inspect
the companys broad farms, and to
take a hand in the political game
And David Grimes was to be orator
of the day! Flags would flutter. bands
would play, cheers would follow his
great speech. A strange thrill passed
over this usually cold. calculating and
self-contained man. Then his momen-
tary enthusiasm died. A light touch
rested on his arm.
David, if you don't mind, I'd like

An Apt Pupil,

A little boys mother over at Harri-
souvill expected the minister to din.
ner and thought in might not be out
of place to coach the little boy some.
as he IA inclined to be backward.
when the minister comes to dinner
and asks how old you are, you must
say five years old Then when he
asks you who you love, you must say,
everybody When he asks YOU
where bad boys go to when they die,
tell him they 90 to hell" The minis
ter, as usal, pdtted the little boy on
the head and asked him: How old
are you, little boy" The little bow
scratched his head a minnie to think
what his mother had told him to say
and blurted out; Five years old; l
love everybody go to hell"

Look Pleasant.

We cannot, of course, all be handsome,
And it's here for us all to be good.
We are SURE now and then to be lone
ly,
And we don't always do as we
should
To be patient is not always easy.
To be cheerful is much harder still.
But at last, we can always be pleas.
If we make up our minds that we
will.
Andi it pays every time to be kindly,
Although you feel worried and blue
If you smile at the world and lool
cheerful,
The world will soon smile back a
you.
So try to brace up and look pleasant
No matter how low you are down.,
Good humor is always contagious,
But you Danish your friends wher
you frown.

The islands of Japan are remarkable
