/ that cut through the ribs of 22o-pound
hogs.
I'm as good as ever l was" boasted
Old Dennis IT wasn't true, but they
didn't tell him SO. Gradually, they
busted him with other jobs. Overseer,
they said. Dennis, you'd better over
see this, oversee that. You're the eX-
pert. The 9-pound chopper had grown
heavy for the old arms. But, when
visitors came through, he was often
called on to show his skill.
Here's Dennis" they said Fifty
years with the company. Show them
how "a real hog chopper does it,
Dennis"
He would step to the platform, king
OH his throne once more. The great
hog carcasses slid past him. AS each
came directly in front of him, he lifted
the chopper high. Down it came
through the shoulder of 220-pounder
1t was miraculous that he could WELD
this instrument with such precision.
Two ribs made the cut a New York
shoulder. Three ribs made it an Eng
lish shoulder. One and a half ribs
made it picnic shoulder. And, when
Old Dennis eye in that fraction of a
second, measured one and a half then
one and half it was.
Fifty years an more I've done
that" Dennis would say complacently.
Its no more than play to me. I've
bigger things to see after"
Such, then, was the heritage of aris-
tocracy into which Denny Regan now
took his place.
His own job wasn't pretty. But,
then, even princes must learn.
Perhaps it should be told you that
young Dennis WAS a throwback to his
North of Ireland ancestors. He had
their high cheek bones and q certain de-
ceptive look of frailty. His eyes were
of a peculiar blue gray, and the whites
were very clear. with just a tinge of
blue in them, like child's. He had
a dead-white skin, black hair and
heavy black brows. His lashes were
long, shading his eyes so that they i'm
parted to them a dreamy look, most
misleading and certainly unexpected,
in hog driver. but fatal, nevertheless
to feminine beholders. He was not a
merry young man, and rarely smiled.
Another point in his favor. Women
do not love cut-up.
Denny's hours at the Yards were
hard and concentrated. His was an
S-hour shift, supposedly, but often his
day was much shorter than that. 1t
all depended upon the trains. Often
it was necessary for him to be on the
platform at 4 in the morning, for
weeks together. Sometimes a train
came in shortly after midnight. You
were notified. You had to be there,
