keep away from the works, and espe-
cially from P1nckney and the Office,
because Smith knew Pinckney and
the advantage which he had taken
iof his position more than once TO In
1ure girls whose fathers and brothers
depended on him for their livelihood,
The general manager was a little
car In the town, Mr.. Durant did not
come into close personal relation with
the mem n 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
rot propose to put himself in that
class. He loved his family when he
was sober, and mo matter what he
might do himself he was determined
that his wife and daughter should 60
straight. No wonder, then, the sight
Of his daughter talking to Pinekney
IN i the works before all the men en-
ragged him. With the bar in his hand
he lurched down the long room.

had come close. =. What do you mean

TURN BRIGHTEST SIDE
- :4*v- OF. HOME TO FRIENDS

There are absurd ideas afloat in
regard to the front and back side
OF the average: village farm house.
In half the country towns, and by
half the, farmers, it is considered
necessary to retain pretending front
side upon: some dark street OF high
way with. tightly closed blinds and
bolted door; with parlors only ven
tured upon in an uneasy way from
month to month. .>-.
The occupant, meantime, will be
living In some back corner-slipping
IN and out at back doors, never at
ease save in: his most uninvtting room,
and as much a stranger to the blinded
parlor, which very likely engrosses
the best half Of his house, as his
visitor, the: country parson. All this
Is as arrant sham and affectation,
as the worst ones of the cities.
It is true that, very man will wish
house for the offices of hospitality;
But the easy. and familiar hospi-
talities of a country village, or of
the farmer, do not call for any ex-
ceptional sstateliness; the farmer IN
vites his best friends to his habitual
living room; let him see to it then
that his living room be the sunniest
and most cheerful of his house. :.
So, his friends: will come to love it,
and he, and his children-to love it
and cherish 1t, so that it shall be
the zrallying point Of the household
affections through all time J.:
No sea so distant, but the memory

O'Leary,''' he said, briefly, and.
turning with the bar In his hand,

toward the path which Sommers must
cross on his way in the Office to the
trap furnaces that contained the Som

and transferred to the tempering bath.

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 r.: II
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. ..,...
"Herer' he shouted. What are you
doing here? Who are you? Get outr'
! Instead Of answering the girl ran
on until she had y come facing him.
Then she stopped short and threw
back the shawl from her head.

ment for instead Of Lucy Smith, as
he expected, he looked into the blazing
eyes Of Frances Durant.
