: The Experiment of Mrs. Hardiman s

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Aren't you talking just little dis
connectedly?" he asked. indulgently.
81 think not. | am quite confident
of my ground"
There was long silence. When
she looked toward Trenner again, he
was running his fingers refectively
through tawny mass OF coarse, yell
lowish hair that gave to his face
distinctly leonine type of expression.
Il shall always consider that you
placed me in false position" she re-
marked, angrlly.
still you will have to admit that
you confess yourself unable to cope
with circumstances"
THE office boy, for instance she
hurled back.
There was another silence. Trenner
was the first to break it.
We'll, have you found out all you
wanted to know" he inquired.
"All, and more. My experiment has
been most successful. | owe you an
untold debt" She gave him a sphinx
like look.
Trenner's lips parted in an involun-
tary smile.
Il thought you'd come up here and
explain it all" he observed.
Mrs. Hardiman swallowed her rage
and covered 1t up with little quick
laugh.
That was my Intention" she
agreed. rising.
Trenner preceded her to the door
and held 1t open. He aid nothing, and
the woman did not speak either, or
look back.
When Mrs. Hardiman gained the
open air, she drew a deep breath of
relief. She felt faint and dizzy and
wretched. The encounter she had had
with Trenenr left her more than phys
ically weak; 1t had seemed to take
something vital forever from her life.
The experiment into which she had
plunged blindly for the sake of her
work had proved little more than
she had been able to grapple with.
Trenner had-to be sure-showed
himself all that she had wished and
lntended-the exact opposite of the
romantic amorist who might have
met her reproaches with weak assev-
erations of his love and penitence
But she felt conscious of keen sense
of moral hurt.
When she reached her own gate,
she was worn out and spiritless. She
ran upstairs to her room and flung
herself face down on lounge, burn
Ing sense of modification pervading
her being. Presently, rush of tears
came to her relief and she sat up, re-
freshed. After all. though his hands
had touched hers, he had not kissed
her as he would have done, had not
some last remnant of superior will
power preserved her in the extreme
moment from that pollution.
After awhile her husband came into
the room looking for her, and she
jumped up excitedly and threw her
arms about his neck.
"Dick! she cried, Historically, you
must take me away from here, some.
where-anywhere-for a time. I've
worn my nerves to a shred over this
last story, and l mean to burn 1t up.
| shall never write another line as
long as | live!"

CHAPTER vi.

~APTAIN WILL HALLAM was
a man of the very shrewdest
= sense, fairly though not liber-
ally educated, whose life from
boyhood onward had been devoted to
the task of taking quick advantage Of
every opportunity that the great river
traffic Of the fifties had offered to men
Of enterprise and sound Judgment.
Beginning as barefoot boy about
1850 or earlier-he never mentioned
the date-he had run the river" in all
sorts Of capacities until when the war
came, temporarily paralyzing the river
trade, he had comfortable little sum
Of money to the good.
Unable to foresee what the course
and outcome of the war might be, he
determined as a measure Of prudence
to indulge himself and his little hoard
In period of safe waiting. He con-
verted all his possessions into gold and

CHAPTER VII.

IN UR1NG the next four or five
days Guilford Duncan was
kept busy with various small
employments, some Of them
out of doors and some of them in the
office. During this time Captain Hal
lam did not again engage him in con-
versatiOn, but Duncan knew that the
man of business was closely observing
his work. He was not slow to discover
that he was giving satisfaction. He
saw that with each day the work as
signed him was of kind that required
higher intelligence than that of the
day before. Isl -..4. .t--E
Every evening the cashier paid him
his days wages, thus reminding him
that he was not a salaried employee of
the house, but man working for
wages from day to day. .as
Out of his first wages he had pur-
chased a change Of very cheap under
wear, towel and a cake of soap.
Every morning about daylight he went
to secluded spot on the levee for a
scrub and swim. Then he washed
out his towel and placed it, with his
other small belongings, in storage
place he had discovered in a great
lumber pile.
One morning when he entered the
Office Captain Hallam gave him sew
eral business letters to answer from
memoranda scrubbed upon them by
clerks or others. He gave him also a
memorandum in his own handwriting.
saying:
"Cut that down if you can and make
telegram Of it. I'll be back in half an
hour or so. Have it ready for me-"
The case was this: A huge steam
boat lay at the levee loaded almost to
the waters edge with grain, which Cap
tain Hallam was more than anxious to
hurry to New Orleans to meet a sud
den temporary and very marked adj
varce in that market That morning
the boat had been "tied up," as the
phrase went-that is to say, she had
been legally attached for debt at the
suit of fin In st. Louis. Until the
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1906-10-04

1t was about the middle of May when
the toilsome foot journey ended at
Wheeling. There Duncan, still wearing
his tattered uniform, made diligent in
quiry as to steamboats, going down the
river. He learned that one Of the great
coal towing steamers from Pittsburg
was expected within few hours, push
ing acres of coal laden barges before
her, and he was encouraged by the in
formation, volunteered on every hand,
that the work Of firing up under the
boilers of these coal towing boats was
so severe that a goodly number of the
stokers always abandoned their en-
ployment in disgust Of it and deserted
the boat if she made a landing at
must do for the reason that a number
of coal laden barges had been left
there for her to take in tow.
1t was Guilford Duncans hope to Sc
cure place on her as a stoker or coal
passer, to take the place of some one
of the deserters. This might enable
him, he thought, to earn a little money
Oh lue way GOWN Iue river luSledQ OF
depicting his slenderly stocked purse
by paying steamboat fare.
With such prospect in mind he ven
tured to go into the town and purchase
a pair of boots and suit of clothes fit
to wear when he should reach Cairo.
His wornout uniform would answer all
his purposes while serving as a stoker.
When the steamboat, with her vast
fleet of barges, made landing Gull
ford Duncan was the first man to leap
aboard in search of work. Unfortu-
nately for him, there were few or no
deserters from in front of the furnaces
on this trip. He could not secure en-
ployment as a stoker earning wages,
but after some persuasion the steam
er's captain agreed to let him work
his passage" to Calro-that Is to say,
he was to pay no fare, receive 20
wages and do double work in return
for his passage down the river and for
the coarse and unsavory food neces-
sary for the maintenance Of his
strength.
