Penfeld reeled, shrinking from the
sight of fists, and knowing that he
could not knock Jim down. "Ah amt

in them"
White-lipped attempting dignity, but
full of nervous jerks and cold at
heart, he walked to the "Commissary.
He rang up the office and stated his
case to the boss Amid buzzings and
hummings of the line he gratefully
gathered his answer

and will not interfere with your men.

Going back to the shovel he quiv-

fear swelled in his heart with the ef-

the sides of the cuttings rose high and
red, with here and there a glaring
white streak of rotted chirt and slate,
and frequent openings to other and
older cuttings where rains had washed
the clay into uncouth curves and gul-
lies. A new fear assaulted him. He
traversed these paths to his home at
night, their high walls cut off observa-
ton and confused sound Here a man
might lie in wait for his foe! Think
ing on this, he came into the last al
cove the shovel had cut for itself The
men stood expectant. He said
Walk" and Jim took his discharge
wordless and sullen.
When Penfeld went home at noon
without an appetite, his mother ques-
toned him, drawing and half inter
ested. He told her nothing. When
his supper also went untouched she
reused herself to a more persistent
questioning. BY and by the truth

Perhaps the scar added to his reputa

Although Jim's fighting was excel

steam shovel. fell off in speed Pen
field spoke of this to him twice OF
thrice without result; finally he told
Jim to better his work or lose his
place. Jim only scowled.
On the following day the work was
worse. Jims fireman demonstrated
fearing to share the blame. Jim
blazed out on him: You shet you.all's
ugly jaw. or Ahll knock it off'n you
At that moment Penfeld came up

Glover shifted his snuff stick and
laughed insultingly. "Ah amt workin'

That night the men fingered about
the "commissary" discussing the pros
pect of a fight Jim, though sullen,
was open-handed and eager to share
his corn whisky, while John, though
pleasant was considered close even
amongst a stingy people, therefore
party feeling ran high
Now John Penfield at heart was a
coward, and when the following morn
ing he saw Jim at the shovel he
quailed. Moreover the morning chill
was in his bones, fog hung damp
and disheartening over the world.
The control of his labor was at stake,
so he gathered himself together and
came up with a braggart swing.
Jim, All discharged you-all for in
competence. You walk"
Instantly Jim's face blackened with
wrath. "Ah hain't exhibited no in
competence, and All hain't workin' for
no damned banty." He sloughed his
coat with a swing of his shoulders
aud rolled back his shirt sleeves

weak he took immediate action Put

his wide felt hat over pallid face
and went out. He answered moi one
woEd to his mothers frantic questions,
In the lean bosom of Tennie ma
ternal solicitousness strove with the
Joy of conflict. NerVously she put the
children to bed, then drew a sack Of
pine knots near the fire, and sat down
to wait. One after another she
dropped the knots onto the hearth,
and watched them kindle to flame and
die to embers
At last, after a wearing waiting, dim
light showed through the cracks In
the shutter Tennie unlatched the
door and went out through the young
trees to the road Instantly terror
clutched her heart. Across the road,
in the dawning graypess, loomed a
horse, sprawled upon his back was
something unrecognizable, limp. BY
his gait she knew the horse for Johns.
He came warily, testing the slippery
mud for each foothold. Her first col
lected thought was of an enemy fol
lowing, screened by the roadside tan
gle. Her fingers ached for the shot
gun hanging over the mantel.
Presently the horses fore feet were
in the water, and his burden still was
motionless. A new dread held Tennie
to the spot, if John were not already
shot dead he would fall into the
stream and be drowned Whoa,
Rags" she called, "Whoa!" But the
little horse came on, Wading carefully,
until out of his depth, when he swan
across and headed for her as he came
up the near bank At her side Ae
stopped John slid 10 the ground, in
coherent sounds strangling him. He
held to Rags feet and would not let
her turn him over.
She slipped her hand under his coat
into a wet sickness Across his
shoulders were welts. The red blood
boiled in her face, and she sprang
away as If she had touched something
loathly. She gasped out: John, he
