MOLTEN IRON BURNS
FEET OF WORKMAN

While pouring hot meta! out Of a
ladel pot at the Wayne works yester-
day, Samuel Feldhaus, 135 South
Ninth street, was severely burned on
both feet when the molten iron was
accidently spilled on him. .
Feldhaus and some other men were
pouring the iron into moulds, when
in some unknown way the pot was
spilled and the iron splashed on his
trousers and ran down his shoe tops
to his feet.
The injured man was taken to his
home in an automobile and is resting
comfortably today. although it will be
some time before he is able to walk

that Secretary E. M. Haas is
making an investigation of the

A Commercial club committee com.

before the board this morning. and AFT.
er the reading Of the engineers report
urged the board to take immediate &C
tion. City Attorney Bond was also
present and made the admission that

said the matter was of such q seri.

The cost of a new bridge would be
approximately $4,000 to 800 900, and
perhaps more. according to the com.

Engineer Mueller would save the coun-
ty a good deal of money by using the
present structure in building other
bridges in the county. Next year eight
bridges will be built by the county,

Richard Sedgwick proposed that in
order not to block traffic over the
Main street bridge while 1t is being
built, a concrete retaining wall be
built on the north side Of the bridge
and the city could be filling this with
waste material and gravel while the
arch across the channel Is being built.
The old iron structure could then be
used as reinforcement to the new
structure. and no blockade Of traffic
would result.
Engineer Mueller, however. believes
that the most practical method would
be to tear the old bridge to pieces

CHAPTER XXI.


For four entire days after Margery
Grierson had driven home the nail of
the elemental verities in her frank
criticism of the new book, and Char
lotte Farnham had clinched it, Wa
haska's public places saw nothing of
Griswold; and Mrs. Holcomb, mother
ly soul, was driven to eXpostulate
scoldingly with her second-foor front
who was pushing the pen feverishly
from dawn to the small hours, and
, evidently-in the kindly widows
phrase-burning the candle at both
ends and in the middle.
Out of this candle-burning frenzy
the toiler emerged in the afternoon of
the fifth day, little pallid and tremu-
lous from the Overstrain, but with a
thick packet of fresh manuscript to
bulge in his pocket when he made his
way, blinking at the unwonted sunlight
of out-of-doors, to the great house at
the lakes edge.
Margery was waiting for him when
he rang the bell; he guessed it CRATE
fully, and she confirmed it.
"Of course" she said, with the be-
witching little grimace which could be
made to mean so much or so little,
isn't this your afternoon? Why
shouldn't be waiting for you?" Then,
with swiftly sympathetic glance for
the pale face and the tired eyes,
you've been overworking again. Let's
sit out here on the porch where we
can have what little air there is. There
must be a storm brewing; it's posi-
lively breathless in the house."
Griswold was glad enough to &C.
quiesce; glad and restfully happy and
mildly intoxicated with her beauty and
the loving rudeness with which she
pushed him into the easiest Of the
great lounging chairs and took the
sheaf of manuscript away from him,
declaring that she meant to read it
herself.
When it was over; and he could not
tell whether the interval should be
measured by minutes or hours; the re.
turn to the realities-the hot after.
noon, the tree-shaded veranda, the lake
dimpling like sheet of molten metal
under the sun glare-was almost pain
full.

lSnI quite lne WOru. he is a SOclOlO-
gist."
Miss Grierson ignored the nice dis
tinction in names.
Socialism goes with being poor,
doesn't it?" she remarked. Since Mr..
Griswold's ship has come in, suppose
he finds it easier, and pleasanter, to
be a theoretical leveler than a practi-
cal one"
That is another thing have never
been quite able to understand" said
the iron founder. "You say his father
left him poor; where did he get his
money!"
why, don't you know?" was the in
nocent query. And then, with pretty
affectation of embarrassment, real or
perfectly simulated: 'If he hasn't told
you, mustn't"
"Of course, l don't want to pry,"
said Raymer, loyal again.
II can give you hint, and that is
all. Don't you remember My Lady
Jezebel, the unsigned novel that made
such a hit last summer"
"Why, bless goodness, yes! Did he
write that?"
"He has never admitted it in Sc
many words. But I'll divide a little
secret with you. He has been reading
bits of his new book to me, and pshaw!
a blind person could tell! l asked him
once if he could guess how much the
author of My Lady JezebeI had been
paid, and he said, with the most per
fectly transparent carelessness: Oh
about hundred thousand, l suppose.
'Tally!" said Raymer, laughing
"Griswold has put an even ninety thou
sand into my little egg basket out at
the plant. But, of course you knew
that, everybody in Wahaska knows II
by this time"
Miss Grierson did not reply, and for
a little while they were both silent.
Then Raymer said:
81 wonder if McMurtry doesn't think
I've dropped out on him. guess I'd
better go and see. Don't wait any
longer on my motions, unless you want
to, Miss Margery."
When Raymer had gone, the oppor'
tunity which Broffin had so lately
craved was his. Miss Grierson was
left alone on the big veranda, and he
had only to step out and confront her.
Instead, he got up quietly and went
back through the lobby with his head
down and his hands in his pockets,
and the surviving bit of the dead cigar
disappeared between his strong teeth
and became a cud of chagrin. There
had been a goal in sight, but Miss
Grierson had beat him to it.
And the winner of the small handi-
cap? With deep breath-drawing that
was almost a sob, Miss Grierson sprang
up, stole a swift confirming glance at
the empty chair behind the window
hangings, and crossed the veranda to
stand with one arm around support
ing pillar. And since the battle was
fought and won, and the friendly pill
lar gave it's stay and shelter, the vel
vety eyes filled suddenly and the ripe
red lips were trembling like the lips OF
a frightened child.

after the change of wet clothing, he
had put aside to dry. 49,

A cigar was found, in the drawSS
which had so lately furnished the weaA
pom, and by the fare of the match in
Raymer's fingers Griswold saw face
haggard with anxiety.

asked.

If the god of mischance had chosen

righted itself with click.

Raymer did not reply at once. This

with the puzzlement there went sor-

been the recanter's portion in all the
ages. When he spoke it was out OF
the heart of common sense and san

CHAPTER XXI.
The Valley of Dry Bones!

The Valley of Dry Bones!
The cyclonic summer storm had
blown itself out, and the clouds were
beginning to break away in the west,
when Griswold obeying Margery's
urging to go home and change his
clothes, turned his back upon Mereside
and his face toward a future of thick
ening doubts and unnerving possibili-
ties.
GrisWold had not deceived himself,
nor had he allowed Margery's apparent
confinement to deceive him. The
old mans mind had not been wander
ing in the eye-opening moment of con-
seriousness regained. On the contrary,
what he had failed to do under ordi-
nary and conventional conditions had
become instantly possible when the
plunge into the dark shadow had
brushed away all the artificial becloud-
ings of the memory page. What action
he would take when he should recover
was as easy to prefgure as it was, for
the present at least, matter negligi-
BILE. The dismaying thing was that the
broad earth seemed too narrow to hide
in; that invention itself became the
c1umsiest of blunderers when it was
given the simple task Of losing sin
gle individual among the millions of
unrelated human atoms.
Thus the threat of the peril which
might be called the physical But be-
yond this there was another, and, for
a man of temperament, still more
ominous foreshadowing Of evil to
come. OF some subtle, deep-seated
change in himself he had long been
conscious. Again and again it had
