ests OF the firm he had not been too
harsh with the employees. In eradi-
eating the evils Jim Powell had
wrought he had found 1T necessary
to calculate in cold-blooded fashion,
to be ready with blame and chary of
praise. The result was inevitable.
While the profits grew steadily Craw-
ford realized that it was because of
his eeaseless vigilance and uhe firm
ness with which he held the employees
at work.
There were tiines-when he was
tired, especially-when it seemed to
him that he had merely developed
into a successful slave driver.
Sometimes at o'clock, when the
big gong had sounded, he would sit
by the time-machine and watch the
men file down the stairs. He would
have given much II here and there
in the long. line a face had been lift
ed to his with a ned or a compre-
hending smile, but the hands" rang
in their time in sullen silence. His
very presence seemed to chill their
spirits, and when one of them looked
at him 1t was either with bitterness
or blank stare.
Meanwhile the Perfection Electric
Switch Company prospered amazing
~, and at the same time the super
intendent grew little more etoop-
shouldered, little more reserved, a
little more heavy of eye.
In November of the third year IL
happened that "Our Mr.. Crawford"
was taken sick. At the time he was
putting forth strenuous efforts to
have an Increase of pay for the en-
ployes. In consequence OF which he
was at the Office several days when
he should have been in bed. He
wanted the hands to understand that
their work had been appreciated. and
although he had to grind his teeth
to keep from crying out with the
pain he went daily to tSc ONCE and
argued with the general manager and
the members Of the firm.

silence, stealing I'M
Is 1t fact or is 1t fancy? On the
caves. above my head,
Rings the chinlk OF silver harness, md
a swift and steafthy tread,
And an echo, as Of laughter, sets my
pulses all aglow-
st. Nicholas has found me, as he found
me long ago!
Ahl those half-forgotten wakings, IN
the gray of early light,
When l crept from out my blankets,
like a little gnome in white.
And my eyes shook off the cobwebs
that the sandman in them spun
AS they saw beside the chimney what
the merry saint had done:
The soldiers in their boxes, the tidy
butcher shop,
The little wooden villages, the trum-
pets and the topsl
And I had nigh forgotten-for how
was I to know
st. Nicholas would find me as he
found me long ago?
He came while was DOING, and has
strewn his gifts galore
In bewildering confusion by the chin
ney ON the floor.
Though my eyes alone can see them,
though they last me but an
hour,
Are they less for that a witness to
the changeless olden power?
He has left me fairy stories, where ]
play the leading part,
He has given me back the lightness
of my blithe and boyish heart.
He has filled my fire with visions,
shifting softly to and fro
st. Nicholas has found me, az he

a myriad early joys,
