81 don't have to ask what you are
doing here"
"You know"'
YES" she cried. II know YOU are
trying to ruin MIR. Sommers' gum, and
that's why I'm hereto prevent it,"
Her hatred of dishonesty. her love
for Sommers. her pride in the honor
of the DurantS, had all combined to
drive the girl into IL fury of passion
that Pinckney had never seen before.
He could not fight against it. He
knew that, and so he had to temporiZe.
Instead of showing anger he only
smiled with apparent surprise and
pity.
What could have put such Il ridicu-
lous notion in your mind, Frances?
It's too foolish to discuss. Who told
you?"
Don't try to explain. Edward.' the
girl exclaimed angrily. Lucy Smith

the whole subject of wireless

Lieutenant Somn1ers, the hero of
the play, was sending out his
wireless appeal for assistance
from the yacht hpessa, with no
thought for his own safety Jack
Binns in the wireless room of
the sinking Republic was dup1i-
eating in real life the heroic in

She came to the house to find Mr.. Som

come here quickly and warn him."
Pinckney was smiling now with re-
lief. He saw he had Il chance if he
could only get the girl out of the way.
"And you believe such a story?" he
protested in a hurt tone. why, my
child, O'Leary was delirious. Smith
was drunk and struck him while they
were fighting-a plain, ordinary fight
between hot headed workmen.
what possible reason could I have
for wanting to injure this gun? To
have it a success means as much to
your father and to me as it does to
Somrners. Think of the reputation Of
the plant. of these works. that your
father has spent his life in building
up.
why. Sommers is here now looking
after the u himself. If he were to
hear such a story it might ruin your
fathers business. You don't want to
ruin your fathers business on the
word of a delirious workman, sore on
his foreman for beating him? Don't
you see how wrong you are"
The girl hesitated. 1t did seem
plausible. O'Leary was hurt. He
had been fighting. And then she did
not imagine any one could be so con-
temptible as to fight a rival i'll the
way P%inclney must be doing if he
really had planned all that O'Leary
charged.
The girl felt that perhaps she had
been too hasty. She felt just a bit
foolish. coming there in Lucy Smiths

From the other end of the furnace
oom where he had gone to intercept
Sommers, Smith had made out Lucy,
as he supposed. talking to Pinckney.
The drunken rage of the foreman
changed instantly to this new object
of attack.
Why should Lucy be talking to
Pinckney? What was she doing there:
He had warned her time and again to
keep away from the works. and espe-
cially from Pinckney and the office,
because Smith knew Pinckney and
the advantage which he had taken
Of his position more than once to in
jure girls whose fathers and brothers
depended on him for their livelihood.
The general manager was a little
car in the town. MI. Durant did not
come into close personal relation With
the men in the plant, and Pinckney
could take on and put off, make and
ruin men at his will. He had ruined
some, and others, Smith knew, had
risen from the works through com
plaisance and pretended blindness to
the actions Of the general manager.
But the Independent foreman did
not propose to put himself in that
class. He loved his family when he
was sober, and no matter what lie
