THE NORTHUMBERLAND

The nightwatchman had been guard
ing the great factory for five years.
He had been employed at the factory
much longer than that, but not as
nightwatchman. His present place
came to him after he lost his left arm.
There had been an accident and Jim
Shattuck was its victim.
The head of the great concern acted
right in the matter. but that was no
more than Jim expected. Jim had
served the factory long and well. He
had served under the present owner S
father and he felt that he was a part
of the wonderful growth Of the great
plant He was pleased when Arthur
Grayling visited him at the hospital
and brought a basket of fruit and jel-
lies that Mrs Arthur Grayling had
packed for him with her own aristo-
cratic hands. And Arthur had told
him that his salary would go right on,
and that all his expenses would be paid,
and that when he was well enough TO
get back to work something suitable
for the changed conditions would be
found for him. Arthur wasn't the man
his father was, but he was fine fell
low. nevertheless
You're not to worry about any
he rose to go. Take your time to get
well. We can worry along without you
for a little while longer"
He had a pleasant way OF talking,
had the younger Grayling.
THANK you, Mr.. Arthur" said Jim.
The younger Grayling had been Mr..
Arthur to him ever since the first time
he had appeared in the factory. 1t
wasn't anywhere near as big factory
as 1t grew to be, and Mr.. Arthur wasn't
nearly as big as he grew to be- Thank
you. You can depend on it that I'll
stay in this place no longer than 1 can
help-and that's putting short limit
on it. / never was gone from the fac
tory so long before"
Arthur Grayling smiled.
I'VE hope you'll approve OF the way
that things are being run in your alb
sence. jim" he said in his joking way.
1--WE are doing the very best We can.
Goodbye"
1t was two weeks later that Jim ap-
peared in Arthur Cravings office. He
was little pale from his long confine-
ment, and 4 little stopped, and the
empty. sleeve dangled from his left
shoulder.
'Jim," said the head Of the house,
after he cordially greeted the veteran.
Jim, we want to make use of you in
way that will yield US the largest re-
turns. What do you say to the job of
nightWatchman? Wait. We want the
best man we can get for this job. One
who will serve us faithfully and fear
iessly a vigilant, tireless. honest
Waterman. Wait. Jim. We will pay
you just what you were earning at the
bench, and the hours will not be so
long. What do you say?"
Jim did not hesitate. He looked at
Mr.. Arthur, and he looked at his
empty sleeve.
It's all right if you say So" he said.
"Crippies can't be choOsers." He sud
denly laughed. II was wondering all
the way down here what you would do
with me, Mr.. Arthur. l hadn't thought
about the nightWatchman It's the very
place for a battle SCARED old warrior.

eyes of the lad whose arm he
clutched so tightly.

Tomorrow night, Jim
So Jim took the place and kept IT and
proved the ideal man for the Job that
Arthur Grayling anticipated he would
be. His foremost duty was to look on.
for fires, and after that he kept a
watchful eye for suspicious characters
From O'Clock in the evening until
O'Clock in the morning he made his
rounds. He had a little room of his
own adjoining the Office and here he
ate his midnight lunch. In this little
room were fire and burglar alarms and
heater on which he could warm both
his coffee and himself, and here in the
daytime he stored his heavy coat and
his lantern and the knotted stick that
was his constant companion while on
duty.
1t was a monotonous calling, this OF
nightwatchman. The factory was in an
especially lonesome part of the city,
AMI some nights Jim didn't see living
being except the policeman on the beat
who strolled by in the early morning
hours. Jim liked companionship and
the lack of it was the only drawback to
his full approval of his situation.
And no doubt it was this hunger for
society that led him to make the &C
