complished. He could not feel depression,
face to face with it.
His son Tom was at the broad desk
which they two shared between them,
working with the mornings mail. Tom
was the living image Of old Sam brought
up to the minute and compounded with
youth He looked up and nodded.
Hello! l was just going to ring you
up. We've COPIED the s. & NJ. contract
at our price. Signed, sealed, and de-
livered!"
THAT was good news. Sam sat
down to enjoy it, tipping back in his
swivel-chair, bringing a cigar from his
pocket.
"Buly!' he said. 4Good work, son!
I'd have bet ON your gettin' it. Ten thou
sand, clean cash profit, six weeks from
now. Makes you feel fine, don't it?' He
chuckled. "Mighty! guess know! If

forget the feelin' of my first contract,

took month of hand-forgin', with me
swingin' hammer with the best of 'em,
and it cleaned up three hundred dollars.
Three hundred for whole month, with
three hands on the job! But l certainly
did need the three hundred then. And
that was the first step the shop had ever
been able to take away from odd piece
work. That was the beginnin'. Ten
thousand clean, usin' only one corner of
the works for six weeks! That's CROWN
some, son.
Tom smiled in sympathy; then his lips
compressed and he sat erect, with man.

Dad, there might just as well be an
other five thousand of profit in this job
for us. We could make it easy if the
works were on another footing
"Well,' old Sam said, II wouldn't Won
der if we could go over the ten thousand
some. We do need some remodelin' in the
foundry, if we're goin' to tackle much of
the big steel work. But we amt quite
got to that yet, son. A few more ten
thousands first!'

pared it with Sam. She was silent for
little time When she spoke, it was not
in direct reply to what Sam had said.
"SAM, | do wish you could begin to
look at things differently. You're so
