and painful scene. Mary Temple.
wholly unconscious of the sudden de-
velopments at the works, had come in
her car on visit to her father, and
was now Surrounded by a mob of sew
eral hundred of wildly excited men
and women
Unfortunately, in the confusion,
the chauffeur had not noticed small
child in the way of the car. The child,
a girl, was knocked down and rem
dered unconscious, and was now lying
wan and limp in her frenzied mothers
arms.
Explanations of regret We're worse
than useless A number of enraged
women, mostly mothers, leaped at
the car and attacked Mary Temple
viciOusly. They struck at her, tore
her clothing, smashed her hat and evil
IDENTIFY meant to pull her into the road
way The chauffeur endeavored to
save his mistress by starting the en-
CINE, whereupon he, too. was grabbed
and very roughly handled.
The unhappy girls shrieks served
only to rouse her assailants to pitch
of ungovernable frenzy, and soon,
wholly overcome by fear and exhaus-
ton, she became almost unconscious.
Indeed, she was in very real peril,
when Burton forced his way through
the mob, tore open the door of the
car and lifted her in his arms.
Hitting the Trail.
Burton was barely able to snatch
Mary to safety when the gasoline tank
blew up and the costly vehicle became
a mass of fire. A few of the men tried
to bar the rescuer's path. but John
Rugged the girl to his breast with his
left arm, while, with the right, he
swept aside some half-hearted assail-
ants, and carried their would-be victim
into her fathers office.
Mary, who had never quite lost con-
seriousness, was almost paralyzed with
terror until she found herself in the
strong embrace of a man whose daunt-
less manner brought with it a sense
of security. She half opened her eyes
and listened to what he was saying,
though John was not in the habit of
mincing his words. Then, with sigh
of relief, she nestled closer.
1t was singular fact that neither

and exotic life. Her big eyes looked
up into the mans appealingly. Seem
ing to sense her power, she drew
nearer and whispered:
you must do this for their sakes
and for minei"
John capitulated. For her sake he
would have done almost anything.
Having gained her point, Mary Tenn
pie FASTENED out, and was seated in
her car before John had time to open
the door for her. He had intended not
to go to the meeting of the union that
night, but the promise just made rem
dered his presence there necessary.
With sigh-for he hated all this tur-
moil and angry discussion-he went to
the hall and faced his fellow workmen.
And he surpassed himself. Quite
unconsciously he adopted some of the
revfvalist preachers phrases and
ideas, welding them into his own rug
ged and forcible expressions. Bill
Thompson, a level-headed fellow, soon
realized that some extraordinary inf1u-
ence was at work, or Burton would
never have gone back on the very prin-
cipleS he was wont to advocate so
strongly. He tried, therefore, to get
the men to postpone a decision till
next day. But the young orators elo-
quence was more powerful than the
older mans experience The strike
was declared at an end, and John and
his mates went back to work; but
never sight or sound of Mary Temple
was vouchsafed, during a week or
more, to the man whose waking
thoughts and nightly dreams were ever
of her.
At last, Burton could bear the ten
sion no longer. Summoning all his
resolution, he dressed In his good
clothes one evening after leaving work,
and resolved to call on Miss Temple
with the pretext of inquiring as to
whether or not she had completely re-
covered from the effects of the riot.
Outside his boarding house. he en-
countered Bill Thompson and another
workman.

"Comin' to the union meeting?" in
quired Bill
Burton shook his head.
NO. he said. mot just now. any

His distracted manner, no less than
his spruce attire, puzzled Thompson.

FIRST EPISODE
"rhe Casting of the Insot."

"The Casting of the Insot-"
Stand byi"
A group of men surrounding a mon
strous pot of molten metal heard the
warning shout. Each took up his ap-
pointed position, skilled hand
touched a lever, and the huge crucible
tilted slowly on it's axis, discharging a
torrent of fluid steel into the waiting
mold. So piercing was the vomit of
flame, so intense the heat, that it
seemed as though the flesh must
shrivel and the eyes melt if any human
being remained in close proximity, yet
the man who had uttered the order,
and was evidently experimenting the
operations, peered calmly into the
depths of the shimmering mass in the
mold after the crucible was empty and
had swung back on it's pivot.
He was young, not more than thirty
tall, sinewy, splendidly built, with a
face in which tenacity of purpose and
strength of will blended with an al
most feminine tenderness. Though
clad in the rough and soiled clothing
necessarily affected by the employees
of the Plainfield Steel company, he
men. When he spoke, the words came
Wiping the perspiration from his
forehead with the back Of one hand,
with the other he caught the shoulder
of an understood. somewhat sinister
looking mechanic who had been in
charge of an electric winch during the
casting.
There goes another block Of good
American steel to blow men like you
and me into SmithereenS in FuroOe
Bill" he said.
fright you are" came the answering
growl. Why do we working men
stand for it? 1 tell you, we're lot of
fools"
The shrek of a factory whistle an
nouncing the hour of noon, and the in
slant rush of all hands for their lunch
pals, cut short the imminent flood of
radical sentiments, because Bill
Thompson was the recognized fire.
brand of the labor world in Plainfield,
whereas the stalwart, cheery-faced
. young man who had unwittingly given
= him his cue was it's leader in most
matters pertaining to hard work, light
hearted badinage, and every rough
game demanding physical fitness.
But there was a serious side to John
Burton's character Though his ex-
perience of life hitherto had supplied
but little reason for belief in anything
outside the crude facts Of existence, in
his unoccupied hours he was by way of
being a reader, a thinker, almost a
student of men and things. By chance
this element in his nature was brought
to the surface before the laughing
joIlying crowd of which he formed a
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1917-01-13

the girls father nor her fiance had
the slightest inkling of the peril she
had incurred The stones hurting
through the window had forced them
to seek shelter in a corner of the
room, so they did not even know of the
cars presence. They were, therefore,
very much surprised when Mary en-
tered, leading John Burton by the
hand.
John had set her down in the lobby
and was turning to go, when she had
held him and pulled him into the Office
after her. Rushing to her father, the
girl told him of the terrible occur
rences of the past few minutes, and ex
patiated on her rescuer's heroism-
The president was greatly shaken
by the dramatic developments of tho
hour, but he was naturally thankful
for the preservation of his daughter
from a terrible death, and thanked
John warmly.
By this time, the police had cleared
the street. Burton, his head in a
whirI, walked to his humble rooms and
there dressed himself in better suit
of clothes than that which he wore
while at work Anxious to avoid his
comrades for the time, and in the be-
11SL ludI d AOfSAlJ AalSAl O1StlaCl LIE
thoughts, he made his way to the great
tent in which Rev. Thomas Branton
was conducting his religious service.
Branton was discoursing with real
fervor, and John watched the effect of
the preachers eloquence in persuading
people to hit the sawdust traiI' until
his own attention was distracted from
the more serious purpose of the gath
ering by the thrilling discovery that
Mary Temple occupied a seat on the
platform.
He hung about until the meeting was
closed, and contriyed to meet Mary,
who was being escorted home by the
minister. She greeted him warmly
and introduced him to Mr.. Branton-
Later John sought a quiet restau-
rant and ate a much-needed meal,
sauntering home afterwards, and sit
ting down to a book and a pipe.
Those who knew Burton only at
work or play might have been vastly
surprised had they peered over his
shoulder and learned the nature of the
philosophical work that now engaged
his attention He was slow and care
full reader. allowing no passage to es-
cape his attention until it's meaning
was thoroughly mastered. He had the
habit, too. of marking sentences which
appeared to invite subsequent refiec-
ton. On this occasion, he took the

trouble to underline few lines which
read:

SO often triumphant-or seemingly SO
lis plunged into a maze of doubt and
can be forgiven If he asks himself:
is humanity in the grip of evir?''
John frowned over the phrase. 1t
would seem that Temple, the steel
magnate, and Branton, the preacher.
were utterly at variance on the chief
issues of life. Which was right?
Burton was chewing his pipe over
this knotty problem when his land
lady. slatternly woman, entered and
announced in a voice of awe:
There's lady to see you. She's
come here in a car
"A lady?" said John, with sudden
throb of hope that it might be Mary.
Yep 1 put her in the parlor." John
wriggled into his coat, trying to dust
his clothes and smooth his hair stimuli
taneously,- and followed the woman
downstairs.
Despite his daring anticipation, he
was nevertheless surprised at finding
Miss Temple actually awaiting him.
Il am SO glad you are at home" she
said, and her voice sounded strangely
sweet in the ears Of man accustomed
only to the raucous accents of the fac
tory and the street. Il have been to
the homes of some of the poor people.
You know how they live, never saving
a cent They will soon be in desperate
want Oh, Mr.. Burton, they ought to
go back to work.
John hardly knew what to say. Mary
was the last person in the world whom
he wanted to contradict, but his in
nate candor conquered.
1T is only fair to point out that the
people themselves voted for the
strike,'' he said.
"Oh, yes" agreed Mary earnestly. II
am well aware of that, but the truth
is that they do not know what is best
for them They need leading, direct
ing. 1 believe you have influence with
them You could make them go back
to work at once, and 1 am convinced
it is your duty to do So"

they were consuming in the open air
of the factory yard.
