arm.
Wait minute; wait, Smith," he
commanded. Here's Sommers now
The naval lieutenant WAS coming
down the long furnace room. shielding
his eyes from the terrific heat and
glare OF the furnaces rs he passed.
Smith lurchcd out TO meet him just
as he stopped in front OF the furnace
which held the Sommers gun. One
quick look assured the navy man Of
the foreman's condition.
How soon do you take the gun out.

The foreman lurchcd up. thru>ting

The answer was enough. Every
muscle in Sommers' powerful frame
set for action Already he had the
foreman's protruding jaw measured
for his right hand. and Pinckney's
voice checked him.
Il say. Sommers, come here. please,
will you:"
The naval man turned without a
word and walked over to the general
manager.
Perhaps you can explain this. Mr..
Pinckney?" he demanded sternly.
Pinckney smiled alphabetically.
Il hope you won't mind Smith. You
can see he's been drinking"
The oi1CeTs eyes narrowed. The
fighting look was still on his face.
And that's the kind OF a man you
allow to be In charge Of important

He turned away and started back to

approaching. He had sized up Marsh
for an honest. well meaning fellow, so
he didn't hesitate to stop him.
"Oh. l say. Marsh what time did

The head draughtsman looked up

tcmptuousiy. What difference does
that make: once get that gun into
the bath without his seeing it, l can
beat him, no matter what story he
tells in Washington"
But you can't get it in," expostu
lated the frightened draughtsman.
He'll be back in n minute. He knew
you couldn't beat him or he wouldn't
have left. He's gone TO put on his
working clothes"
For reply Pinckney shook himself
free and shouted to Smith:
Here. Smith. Sommers has just de-
manded that you be discharged. He
says you can't handle the job. He's
gone to change his clothes. and he'll
be back IN n minute to boss the job
himself"
That was enough. The drunken
foreman's rage was as fierce as one Of
his own furnaces now.
He has, has he:" he roared above
the noise of the furnaces and the
changing steel If he comes in here
I'll throw him in the furnace
Il don't blame YOU" supplemented
Pinckuey. And Smith. seeing now the
general manager was behind him In
whatever he might attempt, was ready
for desperate work.
Here" he shouted Take my sig
nal whistle. I'll go over by the door
and walt for that guy. When he
shows up you signal the men to take
out the gun"
when he comes in" exclaimed
1luChley, uUldZeu. HOW Gull you
stop his seeing you:"
The foreman laughed brutally, then.
STOPPING over, picked up from the
door a short piece Of iron. already
blood stained at one end.
"O'Leary," he said briefly, and,
turning with the bar in his hand,
lurched across. drunkenly confident,
toward the path which Sommers must
cross on his way in the office to the
trap furnaces that contained the SOM
mers gun. now ready to be hosted
and transferred to the tempering bath.
Marsh had already hurried away.
Possible murder was more than he
had counted on when he allowed
Pinckney to bully him into becoming
his fellow cOnspirator.
Pinckney stood ready with the whis-
tie in his hand, while the men at their
places waited. ready to hoist when
the signal should be given.
The trap was laid. All was in readi-
ness when Pinckney saw a raggedly
dressed girl with shawl over her
head hurrying down the furnace room
from the door through which the men
were accustomed to enter.
Here" he shouted. What are you
doing here? Who are you? Get out"
Instead Of answering the girl ran
on until she had come facing him.
Then she stopped short and threw
back the shawl from her head
Pinckney started back in amaze
ment. for instead Of Lucy Smith, as
he expected. he looked into the blazing
eyes of Frances Durant.
