On Spring.

I know not how it is with other men.
Whom l but guess. deciphering myself;
The fleeing relish at sensations brim
Had in it the best ferment of the wine.
One spring knew as never any since:
All night the surges of the warm south
west
Doomed intermittent through the shud-
dering elms,
And brought a morning from the gulf
adrift
Omnipotent with sunshine, whose quick
charm
Startled with crocuses the sullen turf
And wiled the bluebird to his Whit of
song.
james Russell Lowell.

 Sonmers was to come down about 1: 80 in the morning, when the gun was 1 expected to go into the tempering bath. That was the important work, and he i was determined to superintend it. I However, with Smith putting the gun 1 in three hours ahead of time there. seemed every chance that unless Som mers should be warned of the change l the gun would be in the bath and ev- erything of importance over before the navy man should arrive | In vain O'Leary pleaded with Smith l to do something about the gun.
 "It's been in too long already, Smith, he urged "Do you want to ruin this job? Who'll take care of you when you ruin another gun? You'll be down and out for good"
 The foreman, swaying from side to side, looked at his assistant with a drunken leer. 1 Who'll take care of meY' he-sneer- ed. Don't you worry about who'll take care of me. Pm the best man 1 about these works drunk or sober, and 1 don't you forget it.
 O'Leary could not be put off l "Then if you're the best man show | itv' he shouted "Show it by tending to business That gun I'll be ruined in no timer
 Smith, broad, brutal, savage from drink, aimed blow at his assistant.
 ''You will interferer' he shouted. "You think you're a better man than | I am! I'll show you! I'll let you know who's the boss of this here jobi" O'Leary aodged the blow and jump ed eHt of the way as the foreman z rushed. ! Again the foreman came at him, but the assistant grabbed an iron bar and stood ready.
 You take another step and I'll brain youw he yelled above the roar and the clang of the toiiing hammers. You're drunk. and we're saving your job for you. Now you tend to 1t or I'll smash' your head clean in.''
 l Smith stopped, grumbling. He knew | O'Leary was the strongest, coolest young fellow about the works. A fight with him sober would have been seri- ous. and drunk the foreman knew he would not stand chance. He stepped back.
 ."I'm tending to my job. O'Leary," he complained, half maudlin. "There ain't no call for you acting that way. You're trying to get my job, that's what I'm doing right-just what I was told Now, you let me alone"
 Sure, O'Leary. let him alone," urged the other men. 'He'H come round, and we'll get the gun out on time." Before more could be said an office boy appeared, coming from the front office.
 'They want you in the office, O'Leary. Hustfe up," he said; tits im- portant."
 Out in the office Lucy Smith was ex- blaming vigorously to the stenogra- pher, Mazie O'Brien. that Smith. in charge of the Sommers gun. was drunk on the job, and his wife, fearing some thing might happen, had sent the girl over to beg o'Learry to take care of him.
 Sure. Lucy, that's all right Of course O'Leary will do it for you." the good natured stenographer encouraged. ''I'll just get out and give you a chance at him when he comes. When are you going to get married, anyhow? Lucy 'blushed and hesitated.

 The girl recoiled, then tore herself from his arms.
 'No,'' she said sharply, "you will not announce any engagement of mine if you mean yourself as the man,
 His face darkened.-
 "You mean you don't care for mel" he demanded.
 She looked at him with a smile.
 Of course I care for you, Edward: we've been brought up together. I've looked on you as sort of big brother, but I don't care for you the least bit in the way you mean, and I never wil1.''
 he demanded angrily. "Of course I won't marry you when don't care for you" she retorted, be- ginning to lose her temper in turn. "Are you out of your senses? I've never had any idea of marrying you, Edward. I will never have such an idea.''
 Pinckney saw all his dreams begin to tumble. It made him angry, desper- ate.
 You will marry mev' he exclaimed, stepping toward her. q tell you you will marry me. What do you think I ana fool? Do you suppose. Pm an idiotic, dreaming foo1?"
 The repetition of that phrase which she had heard so recently reused the girl to fierce anger. "Yes," she cried, you are a dream ing, idiotie fool if you think I'm going to marry you or anybody else I don't | love, whether you wish it or mother and father wish it or the whole. world | wishes it. Understand that once and | for all, Good night" And, turning, she started for the door. Pinckney's face was convulsed with rage. His hands were twitching. He could hardly control himself. 'Then you're going to marry this dirty adventurer, Sommers, are you?' | he almost shouted The girl stopped short and whirlee about, facing him. Her cheeks were bright, her eyes blazing with anger.

CHAPTER VII.

THE FORCING OF THE BIG GUN.
 ~ MYTH, the foreman in charge of
 the Sommers gun, was raging drunk
 He lurched up and down in front of the furnaces, cursing the men, driving them here and there, making all manner of confusion, apparently without reason. O'Leary, his assistant, had done his best to quiet the half crazed foreman. O'Leary and every man on the job knew that the Som mers gun was in grave danger of be- ing ruined. It had been scheduled to go into the furnace at 2 o'clock, but Smith shortly after noon had lurched in, called his men together and showed the gun into the furnace three hours ahead of time. Now it was nearly midnight, and unless thegun came out shortly every man knew that it would be completely ruined. It must come out, be brought to the proper tempera- ture and then thrust into the tempering bath-a thousand gallons of oil,
 The last time Smith had been in charge of the job he had put gun into the bath at too high temperature dIlu IL udQ puESl dL the proving STOuIlu Smith on that occasion had been laid off and had not been brought back to work until the casting of the Sommers gun. Then Pinckney had sent for him and, after long talk in his private office, had placed the disgraced fore man in complete charge of this new and very important piece of work.
 At the casting of the Rhinestrom gun Pinckney himself had taken complete charge. staying in the furnace room until all the work was finished, and the marked difference in the handling of the two jobs had not escaped some of the shrewder workmen.
 Looks like they don't care a hang whether this one goes or not" O'Leary, the assistant foreman. had complained. 'It's plain foolishness, putting Smith on the job. It'll just get him in trou- ble and won't do any good. That guns bound to be failure if we ain't care full"
 The men had taken O'Leary's view of the matter and were doing all they could to make this job a success. Sommers during his stay about the works had become tremendously popu- lar. They wanted to do their best for him; also O'Leary expected in the fall to marry Lucy Smith, the fore
