They all knew that sixty thousand pounds Of
liquid fire was in the furnace, and that its touch
was almost certain death.
For moment Mr.. Baxter was stunned. The
stream from the hose squirted idly into the
pit :" The cloud of steam lifted and showed
the spot on the wall, glowing angrily, framed in
irregular cracks Then Mr.. Baxter found his
voice. Come back" he roared Turn the
hose on her! Wen save her yet!'
But no one stirred. Something stronger than
the bidding of their master held them where
they WERE 'You towards! You cowards!" yell
ed Mr.. Baxter. He tried to crawl to where the
hose-pipe lay.
Then into the circle of light cast by the arc
lamp overhead ran small figure and grabbed
the pipe. "Peter!" gasped McNally. And Peter
it was-Peter, his eyes shining, his mouth work
ing in an odd, spasmodic way, though none of
them saw that.
The hose twisted as he picked it up; the
nozzle jumped and knocked him down He
scrambled to his feet and seized it again He
wrestled with it, and again it threw him down
Then he dropped to his knees, and gripped it be-
tween his legs and held it. The stream of wa
ter crept up the wall and centred on the glowing
spot.
Again came a tremendous kissing and a burst
of steam. In a moment an explosion and another
and another. Bits of brick and splinters of metal
were thrown out from a gun. They whizzed
over the kneeling figure and over Mr.. Baxter. A
few flung among the circle of men who fell
back
But in the glare of the cric light they saw
dwarf silhouette of thin shoulders and bullet
head standing out against the rosy curtain of
steam which shrouded the wall of Number Six.
And the stream of water held true to its mark.
A half minute went by; it seemed an hour to
the men. The explosions ceased, the cloud of
steam paled Only the kissing on the hot bricks
told that the fight went on between fire and
water, and that water was proving itself the mas
ter.
And then shame mustered McNally's courage,
and he ran to where Peter kneeled. But the wall
was saved, the metal checked Peter gave up
the pipe,
He danced up and down. "Tt's donei It's
done" he cried, twisting his fingers. 9Th water
did it, Mr.. Baxterl" And with that he ran
back to his old place on the mould to see what
else would happen.
And that was all he did and all he said. Peter
always was silent fellow.

while they were hot; they touched match to
the blow-hole of the gas-ppe when his back
was convenient, and the humming squirt of fame
made him shriek they let bars of iron crash on
the floor of metal behind Mm. Peter was in
constant dread. The best of it, from their point
of view, was that he did not retaliate; he would
not fight. 'Pete's got no nerve," was their
verdict-a verdict in which the men shared.
They could not understand boy who didn't
stick up for himself with his fists

But Peter gave no sign then that he would
fulfil this prophecy He a silent boy. His
face most of the time, wore old, dreamy look
The plenty he got to eat gave better color to
his skin, but it did not fill in his cheeks. The

two minutes the great hose was writing across o,
the floor. McNally and another man held tne
nozzle. A score of idle hands made circle
about Number Six. Peter ran to his old place
of vantage mould.
Mr. Baxter gave a signal with his arm, ana
the hose filed and squrmed with the flow ,o6f OF
water. A two-inch stream shot out. McNaily
and his mate took up position, close to the
edge of the "pit," and turned the stream on
the spot ON the furnace WALL now glowing cherry
red
There was loud kissing, vast cloud of steam
puffed up. The bricks of the wall could be
heard cracking under the drenching shower OF
cool water,
Then there was sharp explosion, pause, then
a series of explosions The cloud of steam was
riven, bits of brick were thrown out. Next
came an explosion louder than any, and piece
of metal band struck Mr.. Baxter on the knee.
He gave sharp cry and fell A volley of smaller
pieces was blown about the heads of McNally
and his companions, The rumblings from the
furnace We're ominous.
With a cry of alarm the pipe-men dropped the
nozzle and ran. The circle of onlookers scattered

Accordingly he put in an appearance at break
fast the next morning unshaven. Mrs Chemor-
ley looked at him and shifted: Il shouidnt
think you would want to go downtown looking
like that" she said.
ut does take a little strength of mind, ad7
mitted Chemorley. "But I'm going to do it, Just
the same"
Nobody noticed him that day, but the day
following, when the stubbe had attained quite
disreputable length, the comment began. 1t is
not necessary to recount what was said, 1t
was about the usual thing. By the end OF the
week Chemorley had decidedly trampish ap-
pearance,
''Never mind" he said. eff it keeps growing
at this rate, it will be long enough to trim In
couple of weeks more" :.
The week following, however, the beard did
not seem to progress at the same rate, the
growth was almost imperceptible. Still, it was
growing, and, in spite of the jeers OF his friends
and business associates Chemorey let it grow.
At the weeks end, though, Chemorley received
a letter from an important business connection
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-15

in San Francisco. The business connection
whose business was worth great deal to Che
morley, was to arrive in Chicago, it appeared,
and he wanted to see him. Chemorley talked
that over with his wife.
'I shall entertain him in style, of course" he
said. '1'm anxious to make good impression
on that man."
"You are sure to do that with face brstling
like scrubbng brush" said Mrs: Chemorey,
sarcastically. "It may seem small thing, but
there really is a good deal in first impressions,
she continued, 'if l were you would shave"
A week later, just as the stubble had attained
the hesitating point, Melba came to town. Che
morley had been rather stunning society, but
there was no getting out of taking Mrs. Chemor'
ley to the Auditorium and
''Well, would you be willing for me to go the

"If you think you can stand it, might, re-
piled his wife. But" she AIDED, 'It isn't so
very far along now. Don't you think you might

sharply. "McNally, come here!" McNally re,
sponded on the run. johnson was off duty, and
McNally was in charge.
Peter could see Mr.. Baxter. and heard what
was said, Or part of it. Mr. Baxter pointed to
spot mid-high on the back wall of Number Six.
Looks nasty" he said. Looks as if it were
coming through. Was afraid she wouldn't stand

boat house. "Tm so sorry. | wanted her to
stay all summer She's changed lately, Leonard.
She never wants to go anywhere with us any
more. When spoke to her about it the other
day she said we had been as nice as possible,
but she was sure we must be tired of always
having her with us. l hope we haven't given
her any cause to feel so"
Leonard did not at once reply.
'I wouldn't worry, DEAR" he said finally. Il

forgotten.
After swift glance at him that left her own
face white, Alice did not look at Leonard again,
but kept her eyes upon the water, which the
reflection of trees and sky had turned to a pool
of green and sapphire. When the boat house
came in sight Alice waved her hand to the white
robed figure ON the landing.

The color of trees and sky deepened as the

- all that johnson, the foreman of the
MEFegN gang unloading cars at the Sampson
H&t4IssM Steel Works. could elicit from the
thin-legged, dirty, ragged boy with
sharp blue eyes whom he hauled from corner
Of one of the cars. But if johnson had hard
hands and loud voice, he also had a soft heart
So, as they needed furnace-boy he took Peter
Brown home with him, and the next day set
him to work at Number Six.
Number Six was one of row of furnaces in
the shop where steel was made by the open
hearth process. The building was a skeleton OF
beams with skin of corrugated iron. Up and
down its length ran the travelng-crane, which
lifted eighty tons as easily as man hits as
many ounces. The place resounded, day and
night, with the clang of beaten metal, the roar
of the fires. Its floor was Uttered with scrap
steel, broken moulds, and sand piles. Six fur
naees, square piles of brick, clamped with iron
were ranged along one side Back OF each was
deep pit into which the crane lowered huge
ladle at the end of chains when the melted metal
was to be transferred TO mould. Many arc
lights hung from the roof; at times the intense
blue-white radiance from gush OF metal carved
out figures in silhouette.
Each furnace had an opening in front over
which moved "a plate. AT Number Six Peter
pulled down long lever which raised this plate
and held it there as long as was needed Some
times he did this that johnson could squint
through square of blue glass into the furnace;
the light and heat were more than the naked
eve could bear. Sometimes it was to allow the
furnace hands to charge up"-to sheet shovel
fuls of ferro-manganese and other chemicals into
the yawning mouth.
Peter raised the door of Number Six with
trembling hands. The furnaces were fed with
interchanging volumes of gas which passed in
tapping tongues of fire over the metal that bub
bled like soup, pale blue vapor curling from
It. The SCOTS and tauRts of men and boys
could not cure Peter of his dread of this. He
seize him. and drag him into that glowing vault
BY and by, however, he came to watch the fur
naces with fearful joy.
But this was after he had been broken in
by the boys "Pete's easy" was the word

"Pm sorry, dear, but 1 shall not be able to go

speak. 81 hope you will not miss me too much. y
Mildred's face frightened she measured
Leonard's disappointment by his look of un-
happiness. She did not ask his reason; it was
something that could not be helped, of course.
"I shouldn't enjoy the picnic without you"
she said, "but l need not go either. L went to
Alice's room just now and found her with a
wretched headache" There was in Mildred's
voice note of haf-contemptuous pity that the
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-15

covered that this was because resolute will
kept her SO, and of late in the evenings her in
clination had seemed equally divided between
chess with Mr.. Harmon and the solitude of her
room.
At this time Mildred was very happy. There
had crept into her joy subtle, spiritual ele-
ment that had been the only thing needed to
render it complete
Absorbed as she was in her happiness, it was
some time before Mildred noticed that her friend
had changed in more ways than by growing thin
ner and losing the pink flush her month at the

living since he had acquired this hirsute adorn-
ment of his. "Some of the men let their hair
grow long, too" he told Chemorley, "but think
that's carrying it too far, | can stand for a
haircut once month, but this thing Of shaving
every blessed day and wasting the precious hours
of a mans life is too much"
Chemorley, having in mind his morning martyr
dom of the past three weeks, was disposed to
agree with his friend.
He talked it over with Mrs, Chemorley. as in
duty bound She did not seem to entertain the
idea favorably.
'T think you look well enough the way you
are" she said, "I don't know that I'd like you
in beard at all
''Well, if it was too bad / could shave it off
again" argued Chemorley.. you don't know

partly the beautifully trimmed beard
