much valuable time, for he had not
passed so busy a day as that one since
the bridge began. Everything was ex-
actly as it had been. Those hair-line
cracks had troubled him a little despite
Wilching's remark. He studied them a
second time. They were just as they
had been, SO far as he could tell, no
larger, no more numerous. The lacings
rang exactly the same under his ham,
mer.
He climbed back to the floor of the
bridge and spent the next half hour in
speeding the progress of the work. The
suspended span had already been
pushed out far beyond the end Of the
cantilever. The work on the other
side of the river had been stopped. AS
soon as they got the suspended span
halfway over they would transfer the
workmen and finish the opposite can't

in another week they could get it out

watch, grudgingly observing that 1t

weight OF massive hand. The river

thetop and torn from its base, plunged,
like an avalanche Of steel, 200 feet

Wilchings, and the few men safe on
the shore, stood trembling, looking at
the bare pier head, at the awful tan
gled mass Of wreckage on the shore
between the pier and the bank: floor
beam and stringer, girder and strut,
bent, twisted, broken in ragged and
horrible ruin, while the water, deeper
than the chasm it had cut, rolled its
waves smoothly over the agitations Of
the great plunge beyond the pier. They
stared sick and faint at the tangled,
interviewer mass Of steel, ribboning in
every direction-for in the main the
r1vets held 50 it was not any defect
OF joints, but structural weakness in
the body Of the members THAT had
brought it down-and Enclosing as in
a net many bodies that few seconds
before had been living men.
They had seen body after body hurled
through the air from the outward end
and, as they gazed fearfully in horror
here and there dark figures foated to
the surface Of the water. They caught
gl1mpses Of white, dead faces as the
mighty current rolled them under and
swept them on. And no sound came
from the hundred and fifty who had
gone down with the bridge. The 200
foot fall would have killed them with
out the smashing and battering and
crashing Of the great Orders that had
fallen upon them or driven them from
the floor and hurled them, crushed and
broken, into the river.
Meade had been right. Abbott had
one swift flash Of acknowledgment, one
swift moment packed with such re-
grets as might fill q lifetime-an eter-
nifty In hell of remorse- he,
like the rest, had gone down with the

Wilchings, the chief erecting fore
man, knew about the Gambler. It had
not bothered him. AS he approached
the two exchanged greetings.

Wilchings.

Wilchings laughed.
"That little spring is nothing" He
looked over the track and through the
maze of bracing at the member. IF
we had a pier somewhere we could
hold up the earth with that strut. You

mot thing except some hair-line
cracks In the paint around the rivets. "
'You'll often find those where there's
heavy load to take up. This bridge
will stand long after you and and
every man on it has quit work for
good"
Now Wilchings was man of expert
ence and ability, and If Abbott had
needed any confirmation of his opinion
this careless expression would have
served. He did send him across the
river to examine the half completed
cantilever on the other bank, upon
which work had been suspended, await
ing shipments of steel. Wilchings later
reported that it was all right, which
was what he expected, of course, and
this also added to Abbott's confidence.
The day was an unusually hard one.
A great quantity Of structural steel
that had been delayed and which had
threatened to hold up the work, arrived
that day and the chief Of construction
was buster than he had ever been. He
was driving the men with furious
energy. Even under the best conditions
it would be well-nigh impossible to
complete the bridge on time. Abbott
had pride in carrying out the contract
and the financial question was q con-
siderable one. Had it not been for
that, perhaps, he would have paid more
attention to Meade's appeal. So he
hurried on the work at top speed.
Late in the AFTERNOON. without say
ing anything to Wilchings, who had re-
sumed his regular work, or to anybody
in fact, Abbott went down to look at
the member again. He climbed down
hundred feet or more to make an
other examination at the expense of

jealousy the old man could Dst but like

he never attained that heif ht, he could
yet rise very high. ShurtliR would not

The secretary was greatly surprised
as he stopped beside his own desk to-
hear his name called from the innen
office. He recognized his employers

voice, Of course, yet there was q
strange note in it which somehow gave
him a sense Of uneasiness. He went
into the room at once and stopped
aghast.
"Good God, Mr.. Meade" he ex-
| claimed.
Ordinarily he was the quietest and
most undemonstrative Of men. There
was something soft and subtle about
his movements. An exclamation Of
that kind had hardly escaped him in
the thirty years Of their association.
He checked himself instantly, but
Meade, ST., understood. The day be-
fore Shurtliff had left him hale,
hearty, vigorous somewhat ruddy man.
Now he found him old, white, trem-
bling, stricken. Meade looked at Shirt
lift with &ack-luster eye and with q
face that was dead while it was vet
alive.

second time, what is the matter?"

haps it has failed already"
Meade passed his hand over his
brow and then brought it down heavily
on the desk.
"As we sit here, maybe, it is falling"
he added somberly in sort Of dull,
impersonal way.
Into the mind Of the secretary came
a foolish old line: London bridge is
falling down, falling DOWN. He must
be mad or. Meade must be mad.
II can't believe it, sir. Why?"
'There's a DETECTION In one Of thd
lower chord members Of one and three
quarters inches. It's bound to COL
lapse. The boy was right, Shurtlift,"
explained Meade. II was wrong. I
am ruined"
'Don't say that,ssir. You have never
failed in anything. There must be
some means"
"Shurtliff, you ought to know there
is no power on earth could save that
member. It's only question Of time
when it will fail.''
The secretary leaned back against
the doorjamb, put his hand over his
face, and shook like a leaf. The old
! man eyed him.
"Don't take it so hard" he said. sits
not your fault, you know
"Mr. Meade" burst out the other
man, "you don't know what it means
to me. A failure myself, I have glo-
ried in you. I-you have been every
thing to me. sir. I can't stand it."

rose and walked over to the man, laid

other hand in his own. 1T hurts more,
perhaps, to lose your confidence in me
than it would to lose the confidence OF
