was STOPPING over the boy. The sense
Of a great bereavement swept over
him, and the wave of tenderness that
had made him forget the mob was I'M
bearable.
With white face, stained and streak
ed with blood from his wound, he turn
ed slowly toward the crowd as would
a wounded lion, and in his eyes there
smoldered a glow of unfathomable
misery.
He looked out on them, as If realiz-
ing for the first time the full force Of
the fact that concealed within that
crowd somewhere was the man who
had struck down Sanders. Even as
they watched him, they saw his ex-
preston change to one of such malevo-
lent hatred, such demoniacal hunger
ing for revenge, that they shuddered.
They saw his jaws come together con-
vulsively, and saw him gather the
limp little form into his arms and
rise to his feet.
Sanders head dropped back, as did
his arms, across the managers hold,
and his legs swung lifelessly.
Mccarthy, bearing his burdes light
", was transformed. With one bound
he swept out into the crowd, with the
turid light of murder shooting from
beneath his shaggy, down-drawn
brows, his hair disheveled, the blood
drip-dripping unheeded from his
wound, a picture of berserker rage.
He had but one wish, mad and over
towering, and that was to kill.

control, so long held, was going. The
thought of that last insult ranked and
burned. His face became 1ivid with
passion. His dark eyes blazed, and
when he resumed both fists were
clenched and shaking at them. "You
are pack that was practically scab-
bed in your own country, couldn't get
work Of any kind there, and knew it.
I disliked your brand from the start,
and you never were more than half
miners. You didn't know ore from
muck. And, worst of all, you are a
pack Of towards. Now-now you are
locked out!'
All previous outbursts were outdone
by the frenzy that followed his speech.
The crowd, which had stood still or
writhed beneath the denunciattons he
had hurled, burst into curses, jeers,
or threats. The raucous voice from
the rear made itself heard above the
din in loud shoutings for rope.
Hang him!" it cried. Hang him!"
AS waves tossed by typhoon, the
mob surged and beloved to and fro.
The manager seemed to grow more
compact, and deadly light shone in
his eyes, A board behind him burst
outward, and the gaunt, gray face of
the engineer was thrust through, and
after 1t came hand which rendered
Mccarthy the weapon. The manager
took it automatically, and stood in
crouching attitude waiting for the at
tack.
Glover appeared at the opening.
