bought a tract of country ten miles
long on which to- carry on his battle
between cannon and armor plates. Ar
NOR plates always won, and up went
fresh sheds and fresh furnaces for the
manufacture of armOr plates. Essen
grew black and sooty. Thousands OF
~hard-handed laborers began to center
on the town. When Alfred Krupp be-
gan with two workmen Essen num-
bered 10000 inhabitants. When he
died he left d city Of nearly 100000.
1t was this tremendous heritage
which passed to Frederick, n delicate
boy, who had to leave every winter to
follow the sun. He inherited SIT ,500,-
600 and an annual income Of 81, 23O,0 900.
Whatever else Frederick may have
been, he had n shrewd eye for able
men. One after another he collected
around him men Of striking ability az
managers. He did not care what he
| paid them, so long as they did their
work efficiently. At the i%nstigation Of
the present Kaiser Frederick Krupp
turned his attention more and more to
steel plates, and. striking while the
iron was hot, he demanded and OBJ
tanned prices far In excess Of the mar
ketable value Of his commodities. He
bought a shipping yard and laid down
ironclads for the government, simply
coming money. He bought coal mines
and iron mines in Germany and Spain.
They poured gold into his lap.

Decline OF the Lace Industry.

An exhaustive investigation has re-
Gently been made by the Belgian min
istry of industry in the various lace
making districts Of Belgium from
which 1t appears that the lace industry
of that country is slowly but surely
dying out. In 1875 the number OF
persons employed In this industry was
100000. Now It is 1880. The decline
Is due to the existence Of n sweating
systematic outcome Of exploitation on
the part of the middleman and sales
man. An attempt will be made to put
the trade on a sounder economic basis
and thus save 1t to the country.

ding, persistent part Of his nature.
Alfred was a genius In his way. He
began life with two workmen and left
life with 10000 workmen hammerlng
and sweating In his works, turning
his iron into steel and his steel into
gold. His experiments were not always
successful, and the Disappointment he
suffered would have broken an ordi-
nary mans heart. But he toiled on,
and after years Of trial he succeeded
in casting huge blocks Of the finest
steel.
He rapidly improved on the quality
of his steel, and the fame of his inven-
ton began to be noised abroad. He
borrowed $4,000 from n bank, $25.-
600 from another and began to build
FORCES. He never rested. One inven'
ton and discovery after another re-
warded his labors until, almost by acci-
dent. he discovered how to make steeI
wheels without q seam. Then he was
overwhelmed with orders. Three years
after borrowing the 1900 he repaid Il
and had erected buildings and furnaces
valued at $250,00O.
But, not satisfied with victories

the death of her mother, for the whole
fortune left by the gunmaker Is not
less than the fabulous sum of $l5O,oOO,-
600. Out of this Barbara Krupp, the
sister, will have a splendid
provision, which will not, however,
make an appreciable impression upon
the vast fortune inherited by Bertha.
The Widow Krupp and a committee
will administer the business until the
young heiress attains her majority.
Herr Krupp left $75O,OOO for the
benefit of his employees, and now the
widow, at the suggestion of Bertha

voted to the improvement of Essen.

CHAPTER XIV.

June had a fine spirit, and 1t was now
reused to the uttermost. During her
journey in the train she made a great eff
fort to conquer the anger that was seeth-
ing and bubbling up in her heart-anger
partly excited by Tom, but chiefly by
Agnes.
When they reached the house Lady
Nevil signed to the driver to let her out
before he rang the bell. The hall door
was ajar and she ran first into the morn
ing-room. A pleasing sight greeted her
through the window. Tom was sitting on
a garden-chair, with the boy in his arms.
Agnes was kneeling at their feet,
dangling something in front ;offthe baby's
eyes. 81
1t was too much for poor June. She
had just time to say to the footman, who
came rushing in great surprise through
the hall, Tell Sir Thomas / have gone
to my ROOM" and she fewiupstairs, locked
the door to keep her maid or any in
truder but Tom out, and burst into a
passion of tears. She was thoroughly up
set; she felt that she had made a fool Of
herself, and that she would appear in the
very worst possible light before the eyes
Of the man she loved.
She heard Tom flying up the stairs
and had just time to unlock the door
when he burst In with an astonished but
beaming face.
Then that happens to her which fire.
quently happens to high-spirited, impul
sive people; she does the very thing
against which she has cautioned herself
which she has resolved most positively
that she will not do. She reproaches Ton
for leaving her, for his letter, for his in
difference in having ,smaihed away from

her, for his untruthfulness In pretending
the child was ailing, and, last and crown
ing folly, for which she is furious with
herself even while she is committing it,N
she twits him with preferring the society
OF Agnes to her own.
ION stands overwhelmed and silent, not
because he Is convinced Of guilt, but be-
cause he is shocked at this outburst from
his wife.
Tom went gloomily out and downstairs,
not forgetting first to order luncheon to be
sent up Immediately. Poor little girl! no
doubt she was overdone; but that did not
quite account for and C the bitter
and unjust things she had said to him.
He went out on the lawn, where Agnes
was playing with Tom junior and exhib-
iting increased fervor and devotion to-
ward him.
"Poor, darling June" says Agnes,
sweetly. "How unlucky! But what made
her come? Vas it because she was so
anxious about this treasure? Oh, Tom,
| begged you to be careful not to brighten
her."
Tom has taken his heir from her arms
and is proceeding toward the house.
June has recovered herself. She has
lunched, has had her say out and now
feels herself quite capable of behaving
with the dignity and sweetness on which
she has resolved in the train. To the
immense relief Of Sir Thomas, who has
been longing but not daring to beg an
audience for his cousin, she asks in quite

The Nevil family have been established
In London for the space of a fortnight.
Tom Junior is in the most robust health
and spirits. and seems vastly amused and
interested with all he sees. lie Is nearly
nine months old, and is not only a beauti-
full and good-tempered infant, but has the
most intelligent face in the world. he
is. to Toms intense delight, the living
image of his mother; nay, Tom is almost
affronted IL anyone pretends for civility's
sake that his heir resembles himself.
Dallas, who is a frequent guest in Eaton
Souare. m~ischievously asks June II she
thinks Tom is making love to the nurse,
from whom he seems inseparable,e and
declares to Tom himself that no doubt
he il taken for a Life-guardsman IN plain
clothes. Dallas and June are the best OF
friends: they have both completely for
gotten that episode three years ago. Fol
Dallas Is absorbed in his hopeless passion
for Lady Jane Wyldrose, daughter of the
Earl of Sweetbrier; hopeless, not as far
as the young lady herself is concerned,
but only as regards her parents.
II wanted two days to the 10Th OF June,

AFALSE FACE

changes his feelings and it changes his
looks. He frowns now instead of snil.

kindly. He is wearing false face-a
face which does injustice to the real
nobility of his nature.
