HAaGLEToN TAKES COMMAND.

HAGGLETON TAKES COMMAND.
e rlORAN jeered at Haggleton when
IMk he announced his determine
Ill ton to throw up the job. The
millionaire, however, had Sc
lected Sunday morning to make an
announcement of Importance.
"You asked me that first night" he
said to Moran, IF l was going to show
you how to run these bakeshops, and
I told you that / was. Well, am 60
ing to do it. Listen, all of you.
am going to take you in with me-"
mot me-" said Gentle
Il am going to listen to what he has
to say" was Philips answer.
Haggleton saw that he had won a
victory-he had succeeded in interest
ing Philip.
IF you're not in a hurry, Moran y
he remarked as they finished break
fast, "Pd like to ask some questions.
Does your boss make much out Of his
business?"
Moran shook his head. when he's

to be Jointly responsible here with
them.
Then Philip must find bakeshop
with electric street connections for
the machine. Did Moran know of one?
Yes. in Catharine street. Good! They
must get the boss there into the com
bination, show him all the advan-
tages and, if necessary, give him
bonus. The kneading machine must
be set up there. 1t wouldn't cost this
man cent, as the combination would
assume all expenses
The rest would be easy. Six other
bakers must agree to buy from the
combination thirty or forty barrels of
-four week, or whatever quantity
they usually bought. on the express
stipulation that they got it at 10 per
cent off the jobber's price. And they
must make themselves responsible for
this amount of flour, so many car
loads by signing joint note payable
to the mill owners in thirty days.
Philip thought that the mill owners
might refuse to accept such a note, but
Haggletcn was sure the thing could be
accomplished.
How can one machine knead the
dough from half a dozen bakeshops ."
reflected Philip.
That's easy" said Haggleton; 'we'll
have horse and truck
''What-to carry the machine?"
NO, to- carry the dough. Each
, , baker will mix his own -four in his
own sponging trough. and then we'll
put the troughs on a truck and haul
them to the place where we run the
machine. When the -four is kneaded
We'll haul them back
How long will the kneading take?'
questioned Philip.
"Ten minutes for one batch OF
loaves." answered Moran-''say 700
pounds Of dough- That's with the ma
chine. 1t would take man an hour
"You see what we save,'' remarked
Haggleton.
Are these troughs on wheels?" pur
sued Philip.
"Sure," said Moran

light he discovered a grayish figure
lying OH a pile of bags behind a steam
ing vat. 1t was man asleep, his head
resting on sack of flour.
''Thats the sick helper" said Moran
"The one who has typhoid fever%
1--WE don't know what kind of fever
it is
But he ought not to be here. He
ought not to be sleeping on that sack
of -four You won't use the flour, will
you?"
Moran laughed. "'The -four he's
sleeping on? Sure, Wen use it. We
don't mind a little thing like that"
Haggleton took off his coat and pre-
pared to work.
"Tll start YOU at something easy"
said Moran-"down here"
They went to the ovens where the
''third hand" was taking out a batch
of finished lOaves, about $50 Of them
ranged along in yellow circles on the
not Dr1cK n)or. He stood at the iron
hoOr thrusting in long handled, fiat
wooden shovel, on which by quick
movement he would slide two or three
of the cracking loaves and then draw
them out.
"Now," said Moran to Haggleton
cas- he takes 'em out on The peel you
put 'em in these boxes" He pointed
to pile of wooden trays when you
get box FILL brush 'em over with the
stuff in that can. It's potato water, to
give 'em good color"
Moran illustrated this operation once
and then left the old man to continue
It, which he did to the best Of his abil
ity. Occasionally the third hand"
would lay down his peel and stop to
cough. Then he would spit on the
floor and go back to his work.
"Now run 'em up to the shop" Or
dered Moran when they had finished
''there, on that dumb waiter. A boy II
take 'em off,"
You're pretty fair helper"
chuckled Moran; fought to be worth
Sc week"
more than that" replied Haggle-
ton. Where did you get the potato
water 1 put on those loaves? 1 mean
the water, not the potatoes"
There, at the sink. Yes, the one
with no trap to 1.-THE typhoid fever
sink. You're thinking it won't do peo-
pie any good to eat that bread. May
be not. Huh! Now you can do some
kneading."
They went to a long trough where
the tobacco chewer was in hand to
hand conflict with a great mass OF
dough, three or four hundred pounds,
that seemed to writhe and culver in
his arms like live creature.
"You watch him awhile and then dc
the rest" said Moran.
Haggleton watched the second
hand" and presently took his turn al
the trough and struggled with the
dough. For twenty minutes he turned
the sticky, sodden mass over and over
upon itself, kneading it and crushing
it down and tearing it apart until his
whole body ached.
'"That'll do" relented Moran finally
"What are those brown stains in thu
trough?" asked Haggleton.
Moran examined the stains ant
frowned. "That fool has been drib

.What's the rent of that basement?"
'Thirty dollars"
Suppose offered him the basement

he'd go into a scheme I've got?"
'Ye-es.''
''Well, there's money in these bake
shops-money for all of us. What kind
of man is your boss anyway
"Italian-once ragpicker."
"H'm! Can he be manager?"
"He can if he wants to-" growled
Moran, "but you've got to show him

"I'll show him right"
'Huhv' grunted Moran. 'What do
you know about running Bakeshop?'
Haggleton smiled. "What do you

"Whom do you buy it from?'
"Jobbers."
Haggleton looked at him steadily,
his eyes showing half pity, half con-
tempt. mo wonder you people are
poor! You-you don't know any more
about business than children in the
street"
Haggleton asked more questions, GO
ing into details of the breadmaking
industry, wages, methods of work, cost
Of equipment, etc., moving rapidly
from point to point, until presently he
came upon one fact of master impor-
tance-that there was a machine for
kneading dough, machine run by
electricity which would do the work of
six men and turn out better bread than
could be made by hand.
"Ah," exclaimed the old man, now
we're getting at it! I'd like to see
