Finally, with a half sigh, she turned
and started to walk away. sommers
stepped close to Pinckney.
eff you don't explain aloud at once
why you attempted to put Miss Du-
rant in an awkward position by lock-
ing that door I'll break your head.
How dared you lock that door? YOU
with your reputation about these
works! Speak,"
"The door wasn't locked,' retorted
Pinckney aloud.
Frances heard. She stopped short.
her face flushed with shame. Was it
possible that Sommers thought there
was anything wrong in her being
there? Then anger at herself for COM
ing and at him for letting himself pro-
woke q scene swept her to action. She
turned and stepped back quickly to
the two men.
Don't say a word. Mr.. Pinckney."
she ordered sharply. 81 forbid you to
speak. Lieutenant Sommers can think
for a moment what his seems
to imply. I refuse to give him any
explanation. 1 must also refuse to
even see him in the future"
Sommers looked at her aghast.
"Miss Durant. you don't under
stand" he exclaimed.
The girl looked him coldly I'D and
down.
81 do understand. Mr.. Sommers.
Good day" And. turning, she walked
quickly away.
Sommers looked after her for a
moment, then, seeing the hopeless
ness of the misunderstanding, turned
back to the furnaces. AS he did so
for the first time he noticed his gun
being transferred to the tempering
bath.
Here! What's this?" he shouted.
But before he could say more Smith
had stepped in front of him.
The foreman was wild with drunk
en- glee now. He had won, he felt,
and there was nothing to do but hold
Sommers off Il minute longer.
"What do you think of it now? he
shouted. Your girl was locked up
with him, wasn't she? Lots of chance
you stand against the general man
ager when she'll lock herself in the
Office with him."
AS the last jeering word came out
Sommers swung wildly. Smith stag
gered, then came back with the iron
bar raised. In an instant he had
brought it crashing down upon the
l~ieutenant's head. Then, as the naval
officer fell, in rage Smith bent over
and seized him.
"What are you doing?" shouted
Pinckney.
sight of blood, was beyond managing.

Hc lifted the hult ddscd sailor and stag
gercd qrith hin, tOaCdrd an open furnace.
He lifted the half dazed sailor and
staggered with him toward an open
furnace.
Naval men are used to hard knocks.
Sommers came to. He had lodged
partly, and the bar caught him only 4
glancing blow. Now he realized his
danger and with a desperate effort
tore himself loose.
Smith had dropped the bar. 1t was
an even thing now. Wildly the fore
man rushed, but a straight left stop
ped him, and then a fierce right upper
cut, delivered close. brought him to
his knees.
He arose only to meet another swing
hat dropped him senseless, and as he
fell his head struck the ground just
under the big trip hammer.
The hammer was coming down when
Sommers with a quick jerk dragged
his a out just in time. Then as he
stood above his senseless antagonist
he heard the voice Of Pinckney joyous.
ly Triumphant:
Call right! The Sommers gun is in
the bath!'
The dirty trick had been safely
turned.

Mrs. Durant knew Frances well

The girl sighed.

Down in the courtyard of the ole

talking to the captain of the Irvessa
anXiously.
You say the Roanoke is in?" he
asked.
Ine captain nodded.
Yes, sir. She cast anchor in the
harbor an hour ago." he declared.

The officer from the yacht hesitated

agreed, but I, would strongly suggest

Pinckncy whirled on him angrily.

Still the seaman could not quite

CHAPTER N--Centinued.

y Contempt for Pinckney and rage that
ne hould run the risk of being ruined
by the dirty work Of such men reused
to fierce anger. He turned
back and ran again up the steps to the
little office, knocking fiercely this time
on the door.
"Pinckney. come u of there at
once" he shouted.
The command was so fiercely given
the general manager could not but
obey. He opened the door, coming out
slowly and, in response to Sommers'
gesture Of command, followed him
down the steps.
Frances, her face partly covered
with the shawl. came after Pinckney.
At the bottom of the steps the naval
officer turned on the manager of the
works with fierce contempt.
M wonder you keep Smith drunk
on the job"' he exclaimed. Haven't
you got sense of shame enough not to
take his daughter in that office before
all these men?"
Pinckney understood the mistake,
but it was anything to gain time now.
what business is that of yours?"
he retorted angrily.
"Well, I'll make it my business"
came the fierce reply. Its my bust
ness when such conduct threatens to
ruin my work as well as ruin a girls
name. You ought to be ashamed of
yourself. Now, get her out quick.
Then take Smith off this job"
He turned his back contemptuously
to meet the blazing, wrathful face Of
Joe O'Leary.
The assistant foreman had been
fixed up by the doctor and now, with
q bandaged head. had returned to the
works just in time to see Pinckney and
the girl with Sommers at the bottom
Of the steps. O'Leary, too, misunder-
stood.
"Mr. Pinckney," he yelled, watch
me! l cross myself. 1 know what
you've done to others, but you can't DO
at to my girl. l cross myself, md with
1t goes an oath that Pm going to kill
you with my bare hands!"
He rushed forward, and Pinckney
jumped back before his fierce attack.
But escape would have been hopeless
had not Frances, throwing back the
shawl from her head, stepped in be-
tween, so that she faced both Som
mers and O'Leary.
-. The wounded O'Leary stopped,
aghast.
miss Durant!!' he said slowly, in
amaZement. Sommers stared, startled,
not knowing what to say. Then he
saw the expression on the mems faces,
and that forced him to speak.
"Mr. Pinckney, explain all this at
once, for the sake of O'Leary and
these men,"
Pinckney shrugged his shoulders.
There's nothing to explain" he said.
tMiss Durant wanted to see the Som.
mers gun made, and she borrowed one
of Lucy Smiths dresses so as mot to
excite comment, that's all"
His tone was cool. collected, with
just a touch Of surprise in it that any
explanation would be needed.
O'Leary stepped back awkwardly.
Eyes. sir. l beg your pardon for me
hasty speech"
The general manager turned to
Frances.
"Come! Let's go. Frances"
The girl had been looking at Som.
mers and he at her. Both knew that
something more vas needed. Some.
thing more must be said before the
perfect understanding between them
could be restored.

NEW LECTURE COURSE
BY DR.. o. S. MARDEN

DR.. o. s. Marden editor of Sue
cess't Magazine), who has Influenced
thousands by his books and other
| writings, has decided to make what
is to him an entirely new departure
by delivering a series of lectures In
I a course to be known asc "Self-1m-
provement and Character Building"
at the West Side Young Mems Chris
tian Association, 318 West Fifty
seventh street, New York.
These lectures, the first of which
will soon be given, October 6th),
are DR.. Mardenss first efforts along
the lines of public speaking. He is
giving his time without cost to the
association. fet cd
For some time DR.. Marden has
felt that besides his writings he
would like to. come in close person
al touch with men and these lectures
at West Side are the fruition of
those plans.
One object of DIR. Marden's course,
as he himself expresses it, is ito
help young men to find the best
that Is within them," to learn to
study and Judge and foster them
selves, their talents and their per
sonalittes." Many men, DR.. Marden
believes, fail to achieve all that they
ought to because of some personal
traits which have a bad effect upon
and arouse the animosities of the
people with whom they must mingle.
Pessimism and the blues very Of
ten help to. hold many men down,
while others lack self-confdence and
fearing to enter the battle permit
themselves to be shouldered aside
by men no more capable than they.
With other men DR.. Marden says it
is a case Of a Ground peg in a square
hole"
This course in "Self-Improvement
and Character Building" will consist
of a series of ten lectures, not cold,
formal, platform lectures, but infor-
NAL heart to heart talks when he
and the men can "get together"
