est, most reliable Trainer in the establishment,
twisted his damp into scrolls, or cut
in required lengths the forms of rings, sup
piled by the ring-workers, fitting the strips
adroitly to chair-backs and bases.
Around him, near the bulk of material
and the benches would permit, were grouped
his half-doZen winders.
Their task was to take Robeys chairs, de-
livered by the boss winder, and to twist skill
fully the narrow strips of shaved cane, or
strands about the rough oak bowels form
ing the chair foundation. All unsightly places
left by the Trainer when he fastened the
pieces of whole cane to the supports must be
dexterousy covered.
All that is requisite to wind rattan chairs is
a quick, timber hand and practice.
Often young boys can do better work than
men, whose joints and muscles have become
stiffened by age.
For this reason, when the Rockway firm
advertised in the fall for one hundred wind
ers Alan Cressey secured position refused
to some who the observant eye of the fore
man detected would be of little practical ser
vice in the business.
The selection of sixteen year-old Alan, among
the favored hundred. occasioned some unfair
prejudice on the part of the older operatives
who were anxious to obtain places for friends
or kindred.
was working not so much for support as to
add to small sum of money which his father
left him as nucleus of college fund.
| This fact gave rise to many unkind insinua
ticns about Stealing a needy mans bread"
joined to sneers at dudes" or, as Bob
phrased it, "kid-glove aristocracy."
! Alan soon destroyed this thin partition of
prejudice. by his. frank ways. Adapting him
self readily to the new atmosphere, meeting
all advances halfway, he became, in short
time, general favorite.
after awhile, his shopmates felt much pride
in their Harvard member-elect."
! A few weeks before the quarrel over the
unwound chair. Bob Griggs was transferred
from another Trainer to Robey, for whom
Alan also wound.
Bob was presumably the product of some
city slum. He had drifted, no one knew
how, to the Rockway works.
He was a few years older than Alan, and
was subject to sudden attacks of epilepsy.
| Without home or friends, slowed away in
a garnet room of the cheapest factory board
ing, house in town, he must have led most
unhappy life.
He would have found friends among the
warm-hearted factory people, but for his dis
agreeable temper, which flung him in rage
on slight provocation-

thing honest especially when he's trying to
educate himself into something bit better.
I'm right proud of Alan's spunk."
Robey spoke warmly.
"Spunk! Pooh!" contemptuously calculated

cause haven't thrashed you for all the ras-
cally things you've done. to me. | have had
some squeamish feelings about fighting boy
of your stamp, but, Great Caesar! my patience
is getting low. The next trick you play on
me you'll catch i'll"
Alan evidently meant what he said.
"Slow-go slow, my boy!" cautioned hon
est John Robey.
In the midst of the exciting talk winders
and framers in groups of two or three, began
to straggle in to the afternoon labor
The chair room was soon filed with noisy,
bustling crowd of varied size age and ma
tionality Trainers commenced to sort the
long pieces of cane suitable for the afternoon
Worh. oOIne were SeeH dragging from Ine VdC
below stairs the heavy, dripping rods.
Boss winders critically surveyed and ap-
portioned to under men the array of chairs
turned out by the forenoon work of the
trainers.
Jest and laughter accompanied the busy
racket. The one o'clock whistle sent out its
shrill call; the machinery commenced its
Earring vibrations Above ALL one heard the
click. click of the iron heating pipes, as the
steam from the distant engine room forced
its way up and down the walls of the i'm
mense buildings known as the Rockway Rat
tan Works
In the furniture department some one near
the door suddenly sent out sibilant "Sh-
sh!" penetrating the length of the chair
| room.
"Old Forbes is coming!" was swiftly whis-
pered.
1t became very still. Manager LIE Clair,
walking down the floor with the foreman of
the department, wore grati6ed air on be-
holding the diligent appearance of the large
body Of workers employed in this most i'm
portant branch of the great cane industry
In stolid disregard of each other, Alan
Cressey and his co-worker, Bob Griggs, re-
sumed their labors.
In his warm corner, John Robey, the smart

however, when ne was stretched, white and
stiff, in a sudden "ft" Cane-canoused hands
lifted him gently aside to some stack of rat
tan, IN quiet corner to come to-"
For few days the men were more consid-
crate in their treatment of him. Then some
underhanded trick reused their indignation
anew.
To Alan, Bob had taken violent dislike
The abundant vitality and bright, alert mind
of his neghbor contrasted too forcibly with
his own Insignificant physique and slowly
weakening intellect
From being something to be quietly tole-
rated, Bob, by his prosecutions, had become
to Alan an object of supreme repugnance.

one particle of emotion when I saw him
throw up his hands this afternoon" confess
ed Alan, in one of his twilight talks with his
mother. Il just said, Go it, old fellow! I'm
glad something can squech you, and the next
instant he was on his face. ! didn't pick him
up"
ooh, Alan, Alan~ said tender-hearted Mrs.
Cressey. us that poor wretch going to steal
away my boys manliness? Don't you know,
one of the worst fates that can befall you or
me is the loss of our power to sympathize with
one who is suffering"
But Alan felt he was justified in his atti-
tude. He did not perceive that, day by day,
yielding to his feelings, his own character was
falling to lower plane.
The weeks added new store to his preju-
dice. Bob lost no opportunity to make him
self an object of hatred
One day, he, in the worst possible manner,
wound child's chair and marked it with
Alan's sign-manual, No rs.
The work on chairs was identified by the
operatives assigned number, penciled on the
lower side of the seat.
When this chair fell under the inspectors
notice, he brought it to Alan, after calling
the attention Of the foreman to its defects.
"Here, you Seventy-hve, yo're to cut off
these strands. an re-wind this chair. Forbes
says he's stood enough O. this style O. work.
You fellers better ketch on ter yourselves, fer

ed Alan.

Come, brace in, Seventy-fve, an fix her un."
Alan hesitated.
The chair stood by his bench, but his knife
stuck, bolt upright, on the floor, where he
had flung it.
He. nervousH pounded his bracing-iron
with his hammer.
