him off his balance.

had put her there not without some

him to act he could not surmise. but

recognized a real barrier. Here was

girl. Why? Was it something in the
fine profile, something in it's express
sion that spoke of secret sorrow? He
could not analyze what it was, but
he knew, then and there, that he
would never be able to speak to her
with the freedom he had previously
used toward typewriter girls, shop
girls, girls in the lunchrooms and
the girl in the manicure shop.
He turned on his heels, fuming at
both his lack of courage and this in
visible barrier. He hated red hair and
freckles. He looked at his hands.
Well, they weren't so bad. even if

were gathered in groups, chattering
and gabbling over red-covered vol

- In the room there is small
round table, also a mahogany
chest of drawers. Two porce-
lain vases filed with dried grasses stand
on the mantelpiece. There are other
everyday things. But he no longer
sees them. He is there in the old
lodgings in which he lived before the
war. But as he leans toward the VIM

He can walk now only by feeling
his way with his hands, lightly touch-

He recalls the hospital. They had
put a bandage over his eyes. They
had told him that there was hope. But
one evening the nurse spoke to a. Visi-
tor who was passing by. He heard
her say:
ut Is a desperate case"
Then he understood.
But when his wound had healed they
sent him home. He had come back
attended by hospital orderly. They
had climbed the stairs and knocked at
the door. The orderly had called out:
"Open. please"
And his mother had answered:
jean! It's Jean"
They had seated themselves at the
little table and his mother had offered
the attendant some wine. He, too, had
drunk a glass. Each of them told his
story. But after a little his mother
had ceased to talk and now and then
he heard her sobbing.
He sits sometimes by the window
and, as good weather draws near, he
listens to the gentle murmuring OF
the wind. He tries to tell whether it
is blowing from the north or from
the south and to guess whether the
pleasant days will last. He has found
an old accordion and he draws some
sounds from 1t during the long after
moons when the world about him Is
silent.

from work and bring laughter into the
house. They have with them often "a

he now recalls. One May day he had
offered her some lilies of the valley,
She had thanked him and blushed.
When they are all ogether they ask
him to make some music. He takes
the accordion. Through the open win
dow comes a breath of air laden
with the scent Of acacias. for there is
garden next door. He plays familiar
airs and patriotic refrains and also
improvises little. But his IMPROVE
sation is so charged with sadness that
he cannot continue it. He put the in
strument aside and says:
THAT is enough for this evening"
One day some ladies come to visit
him. They ask him what he would
like to do. promising that the organ
ization with which they are connected
will assist him. They add:

He asks nothing better But who
will take him there?

These words are like ray OF light
to his dead eyes. That evening he
takes the accordion and plays an old
air with some gayety in it. His sisters
say to him:

an air which dances a little"
The next day it was fair and Marie
conducted him to the club. 1t was

provincial tranquility reigned within

sounds of summer penetrated. One

who listen keep time with their feet

They receive coffee and cigarettes.

William was never able to ex-
plain with any lucidity why he leaped
so abruptly to such a conclusion. He
Just knew, that was all. He had
seen those feet go past his cellar
window too many times to have the
slightest doubt of their identity.
He had not seen her face, the
railing having cut across that and
obscured it. But there was no reason
on earth why he shouldn't see the
face now, after waiting for three
years. So he sprang up the ladder,
thrilling in every pulse. There she
was, leaning against the port rail,
staring westward At the pearly
smudge hanging over the receding
city. william had never heard of
Medusa nor the shield of Perseus.
He was, nevertheless, turned into
stone for two consecutive minutes.
There liz nothing gentle or gradual

and hurtful. William stood UP under

il he wasn't eaten by sharks, he
would fail into the hands Of canni-
balls. Burns poohhooed this idea; all
Bill had to do was to keep his eye
on his cash. There were worse sharks
out OF water than in it.
At l o'clock William went aboard.
He saw his steamer trunk and grips
safely slowed away in his cabin.
which he was to share with two 9TH
ers as yet unknown. The little card
at the left, Of the door read:
Mr. Grogan.
Mr.. Greenwood.
Mr.. Henrik Clausen
He hoped that they were neither
professional gamblers nor whisky
merchants; outside OF that he didn't
care what they were.
He went on deck again and began
to explore. BY o'clock he had been
everywhere except in the stoke-hole.
and he was saving that against some
rainy day. He was unobtrusive; and
the busy officers he quizxed under
stood that his interest was purely
legitimate. though somewhat inoppor-
tune. There was something Of the
eager boy in William, despite his
cynical outlook. The great steel
cannon. which went down to the very
keel Of the ship. fascinated him more
than anything else. The chief engl'
need was Irish; SO William told him
the history of his life and clung to
him as long as he could.
1t is fine thing to go on voyage

or life are not to be found in recur

Velous discoveries were on the thres-
hold. waiting to be unfolded before
his eyes! Strange seas. strange lands.
strange peoples: and, above all, there
was that elephant with the silk -and-'
spangle cupola or thingumy on his
pack. There was, as you may readily
believe. no corner in his thoughts
given over to a longing to see the
roman Forum. or the Greek Parthe-
non, or MichelangelO, or Rafael or
Tiziano. ! may as we'll confess right
here and now and have done with it:
William never went into ecstasies over
the wonders of antiquity.
The living things. the quick. not the
dead, stirred his interest. 1t Is true
that the pyramids stunned him; but
this was due to his appreciation OF
the tremendous labor involved in pill
ing those granite blocks one upon the
other without the aid OF steam
hoists.
At length he went down into the

ranks of the strikers. Sufficient men
are said to have reported for work
to continue operations throughout
the entire plant.
Asked about the bridge shop the
officials stated that while the union
was strongest in that department
enough men had turned up for work
to keep the department running in
good shape.
Asked about how many men had
gone out on the strike, officials re-
piled that it was impossible to es-
innate the number because of the
changing shifts. Many men, how
ever, have been given off for the
day to see the parade in Harris
burg.
In place of shutting down any of
the departments one of the depart
ments which had been shut down
last week was put into action this
morn'ng.
There are six union organizations
in the plant. They are the General
Pipe Filters and Helpers Union, the
American Federation of Labor, the
International Association of Machin-
ists. the Amalgamated Association
Of Iron Steel and Tin Workers. the
International Association of Bridge,
Structural and Iron Workers and
the Electrical Workers local.
1t was announced at the plant that
number of men formerly holding
offices in local unions had resigned
and reported for work.
