HIS TIME FULLY TAKEN UP /
Tramp Engaged in Much More Impor-
tant Occupation Than Merely
Looking for Work.

A big, strong, healthy-lOOking fellow
knocked at the kitchen door and asked
for something to eat, but the woman
was not chartably disposed.
"Why don't you get some workF'
she snapped.

CHAPTER l.-Continued.

"Fel-ow cit-i-zensm His deep-toned

THE time has come for revolt. The
rich and the mighty have ground us
in the dust long enough. We must
turn. We must claim our own. We

His voice, deep and sonOrous, pro-
nOunCing each word very fully and
very distinctly, rang out over the dis
ordered crowd like a fOghOrn cutting
through a misty night.
1t was the old story of noise being
mistaken for wisdom, and it inflamed
his hearers like fire to dry twigs.
Nothing could have more aroused
them. When after several minutes Of
thunder and bOmbast he brought his
address to a whirlwind close and
bowed and turned TO climb down, there
was a rumbling, mumbling, confused
Outcry that arose, one solid roar of
appreciation, and lasted until the Civ
erS thereof were hOarse. He fought
his way through his newly made ad-
mirerS and returned to the woman
whom he saw standing in the door

with her back against it, looking at
him with shining eyes. II want you

pleading of mouth and eye. She

and took her arm, the better to pro-
tect her from the jostllng throng.
"You bet I'm coming. With you"

CHAPTER II.

SmulSkiS hall was a vast, barnlike
structure of one floor. Every inch of
floor space was occupied by Swelter-
ing humanity, and when FitZhugh rose
to make his address he faced an audi
enCe Of fully three thousand. He
walked to the edge of the platform
and stood looking out over that silent
sea of upturned faces, with scarcely
an idea of what he was to say Yet
he felt a tingling thrill Of pleasure
that for a moment was as wine to his
senses. He knew what he could do,
and he eXulted in his gift. Many times
before he had moved men with it, but
never so large a gathering as this.
At the back Of the platform, seated
among her Comrades Esther Strom
leaned forward in her chair, her lips
slightly parted, her dark eyes spar
king. From that moment until the
close of his address her gaze never
left his face.
Fitzhugh charged into his address.
His voice, very low at first, swelled
fuller and louder and clearer as he
spoke, until its resonant ring thun-
dered and echoed through the nam
moth hall. The crowd became rs Il
single body with single mind, which
drank in his words thirstily. He
swayed and moved it this way and
that with the apparent ease Of the
wind swaying a field Of wheat. 1t was
not what he said, for he said nothing
great, but the way he said 1t that so
stirred his auditors. Those who had
gone before spoke to the mind. He
spoke to the heart.
There was a moments calm before
the storm Of applause broke, II
roarcd in upon him, wave upon wave,
and he stood up, smiling and bowiug,
to meet it, He was Immediately sur
rounded by a group Of men and wom-
en-, who, In their own way, Showcrcd
