n n k H H H a n :BY: FRANCIS Copyricht. 1906. CHAPTER XV. (Continued.) It was Ludlow, hammering clamorously for silence on the shell of the big crane ladle, who acted as spokesman when the uproar was quelled. "You're all right. Tom Gordon you and your daddy. But you've hit us plum' 'twist dinner and supper. If you two was the company " "We are the company. While Mr. Farley i3 away we're the bosses; what we say, goes." "All right." Ludlow went on. "That's a little better. But we've got a kick or two comln'. Is this half-pay goin to be In orders on the company's store?" "I said cash," said Tom, briefly. "Good enough. But I s'poso we'd have to spend It at the company's store. Jest the same, r get fired." "No!" emphatically. "I'm not even sure that we should reopen the store. We shall not reopen it unless you men want it If you do want It. we'll make It strictly co-operative, dividing' the profits with every employe according to his purchases." "Well, that's white, anyway," commented one of the coke burners. "B3 a mighty col day In July when old man Farley'd talk as straight as that." "Ag'ir," said Ludlow, "what's this half-pay to be figured on the reglar scale?" "Of course." "And what security do we have that t'other half '11 be paid, some time?" "My father's word, and mine." Ludlow turned to the miners. "WhAt d'ye say, boys? Fish or cut bait? Hands up!" There was a good showing of hands among the white miners and the coke burners, but the negro foundrymen did not vote. Patty, the mulatto foreman who was Helgerson's second, explained the reason. "You ain't said unttin 'bout de foundry. Boss Tom. W-w-w-w-we-all boys been wukkin' short ti-tl-tlme, and m-m-makin' pig ain't gwlne give we-all n-n-nuttin' ter do.- Patty had a painful Impediment in his speech, and tho strain of the public occasion doubled it. "We are going to run the foundry, too. Tatty, and on full time. There will be work for all of you on the terms I have named." Caleb Gordon closed his eyes and put his face in his hands. For weeks before the shut-down the foundry had been run on short time, because there was no market for Its miscellaneous output. Surely Tom must be losing his mind! But the negro foundrymen were taking his word for it, as the miners had. "Pup-pup-put up yo hands, boys!" said Patty, and again the ayes had it Tom looked vastly relieved. "Well, that was a short horse soon curried," he said, bruskly. The power goes on to-morrow morning, and we'll blow In as soon as the furnaces are rellned. Ludlow, you come to the office at 5 o'clock and I'll list the shifts with you. Patty, you report to Mrl Ilelgerson, and you and the patternmaker show up at half-past 5. I want to talk over some new work with you. Anybody else got anything to say? If not, we'll adjourn." Caleb followed his son out and across the yard to the old log homestead which served as the superintendent's office and laboratory. When the door was shut he dropped heavily into a chair. "Sen." he said, brokenly, "you're you're crazy plum crazy. Don't you know you can't do the first one o these things you've been promlsln'?" Tom was already busy at the desk, emptying the pigeonholes one after another and rapidly scanning their contents. "If I believed that, I'd be taking to the high grass and the tall timber. But don't you worry, pappy; we're going to do them .all of them." "But Buddy, you can't sell a foMnd of foundry product! We may be able to make pig cheaper than some others, but when it comes to the foundry floor, South Tredegar can choke us off In less'n a week." "Wait." said Tom. still rummaging. "There Is one thing we can make and sell." "I'd like tolerable well to know what It Is," was the hopeless rejoinder. "You ought to know, better than any one else. It's cast-iron pipe waterpipe. Where are the plans of that Invention of yours that Farley wouldn't let you Install?" Caleb found the blue-prints, and his hands were trembling. The invention, a pit machine process for molding and casting water- and gas-pipe at a cost that would put all other makers of the commodity out of the field, had been wrought out and perfected in Tom's second Boston year. It was Caleb's one ewe lamb, and he had nursed it by hand through a long preparatory period. Tom took the blue-prints and sprea.l them on the desk, absorbing the details as his father leaned over him and pointed them out lie saw clearly that the invention would revolutionize pipemaking. The accepted method was to cast each piece separately In a floor flask made In two parts, rammed by hand, once for the drag and again for the cope, with reversings, crane-handlings and all the manipulations necessary for the molding of any heavy casting. But the new process substituted machinery. A cistern-like pit; a circular table pivoted over It with a hundred or more iron flasks suspended upright from its edpres; a huge crane ear ning a mechanical ram. these were the main points of the machine which, with a small gang of men, would do the work of an entire foundry floor. "It's great!" said Tom, enthusiast! cally. "I got your Idea pretty we:l from your letters, but you've Improved on It since them. I wonder Farley didn't snap at It" "He was wlllin to." said Caleb", grim ly. "Only he wanted me to transfer the patents to the company; In other words, to make him a present of thcontrolling Interest. I bucked at that and we come near havln a fall-out If there was any market for pipe now "There Is a market," said Tom, hope fully. "I ot a pointer on that before I left Boston. Did I tell you I had a little talk with Mr. Clarkson the day I came away?" "Xo." "Well, I did. I told him the condl tions and asked h!s advice. Amon? other things, I spoke of this pipe pit of yours, and he said at once. 'There Is I your chance. Cast-iron water-pipe Is like bread, or susar .or butcher's moat it's a necessity, in good times or bad. If that machine Is practicable, you ci . make pipe for less than half the present cost.' Then we talked ways an 1 means. Money '.a tighter than a shut fist up East as well as everywhere else. But men with money to Invest will still bet on a sure thin?. Mr. Clarkson advised me to try our own banks first. Failing with them, he authorized me to call on him. Now you know where 1'rn dicing my sand." The old iron-master sat back in his chair with his hands locked over one knee, once more taking the measure of this new creation calling itself Tom Gordon and purporting to be his son. "Say, Buddy," he said at length, "are

LYNBS by Francis Lynds there many more like you out yonder in the big road? young fellows that can walk right out o' school and tell their daddies how to run things?" Tom's laugh was boyishly hearty. "Plenty of 'em. pappy; lots of 'em! The old world Is moving right along; It would be a pity If it didn't don't you think? But about this pipe business: I want you to make over these patents to me." "They're yours now. Tom; everything I've got will be yours In a little while." said the father; but his voice betrayed the depth of that thrust Was the new Tom begining so soon to grasp and reach out avariciously for the fruit of the old tree? "You ought to know that I don't mean it that way," said Tom, frowning a little. "But here is the way it sizs up. There is money in this pipe-making; some money now ,and big monty later on. Farley has refused to go into it unless you make it a company proposition; as president and a controlling stockholder you can't very well go into it unless you make it a company proposition; as president and a controlling stockholder you can't very well go Into it now without making it some sort of a company proposition. But you can transfer the patents to me, and I can contract with Chiawassee Consolidated to make pipe for me." "That would certainly be glvln Colonel Dubbury a dose of his own medicine; Out I don't like It, Tom . It lookj as if we were taking advantage of him." "No. I'd make the proposition to him, personally, if he were here, and the boss; and he'd be a fool If he didn't just jump at It." said Tom. earnestly. "But there is more to it than that If we mako a go of this, and don't protect ourselves, the two Parleys will come back and put the whole thing In their pockets. I won't go in on any such terms. When they do come back, I'm going to have money to fight them with, and this is our one little ghost of a chance. Bing up Judge Bates and get him to come over here and make a iogal transfer of these patents to me." The experiences of the summer were all hardening. He plunged into the world of business, into a panic-time competition which was in grim reality a fight for life, and there seemed to be little to choose between trampling or being trampled. By early autumn the iron Industries of the country were gasping, and the stacks of pig in the Chiawassee yards, kept down a little during the summer by a few meager orders, grew and spread until they covered acres. As long as money could be had, the Iron was bonded as fast as It was made, and the proceeds were turned Into wages to make more. But when money was no longer obtainable from this source, the pipe venture was tha only hope. With the entire foundry force at the Chiawassee making pipe, Tom had gone Into the market with his low-priced product But the commercial side of the struggle was fire-new to him, and he found himself matched against men who knew buying and sellng as he knew smelting and casting. They rout ed him, easily at first, with increasing difficulty as he learned the new trade, but always with certainty. It was Nor man, the correspondence man, transformed now into a sales agent, who gave him his first hint of the inwardness. "We're too straight, Mr. Gordo j; that's at the bottom of It" he said to Tom, over a grill-room luncheon at the Marlboro one day. "It takes money to make money. Four times cut of five we have to sell to a municipal committee, and the other time ve have to monkey with the purchasing t gent of a corporation. In either case It takes money otner money Desiaes tne differ ence in price." Tom was in town that day for tho purpose of taking a train to Louisville, where he was to meet the officials of an Indiana city forced, despite the hard times, to relay many miles of wornout water-mains. He made a pencil computation on the back of an envel ope, ine contract was a large one, and his bid, which he was confident was lower than any competitor could make. would still stand a cut and leave a margin of profit. Before he took the train he went to the bank, and. when he reached the Kentucky metropolis. his first care was to assure the "wheelhorse" member of the municipal purchasing board that he was ready to talk business on a modern business basis. Notwithstanding, he lost the contract. Other people were growing desperate. too, It appeared, and his bribe was not great enough. One member of the committee stood by him and gave him the facts. A check had been passed. and It was a bigger check than Tom could draw without trenching on the balance left in the Iron City National to meet the month's pay-roll at Gordonia. "You sent a boy to mill," said the loyal one. "And now It's all over I don't mind telling you that you sent him to the wrong mill, at'that Eulllnger's a hog." "I'd like to do him up," said Tom, vindictively. "Well, that might be dene, too. But it would cost you something." Tom did not take the hint; he was not buying vengeance. But on the way home he grew bitterer with every subtracted mile. He could meet one more pay-day, and possibly another; and then the end would come. This one contract would have saved the day, and It was lost The homing train, rushing around the boundary hills of Paradise, set him down at Gordonia late In the afternoon. There was no one at the station to meet him. but there was bad news In the air which needed no herald to pro claim it. Though it still wanted half an hour of quitting time, the big plant was silent and deserted. Tom walked out the pike and found his father on tho Woodlawn porch. VYou needn't say It son," was his low greeting, when Tom had flung him self Into a chair. "It was In the South Tredegar papers this morning.' ' "What was in the papers?" "About our losin the Indlany con tract I reckon It was what did the business for us, though there were aolentv of Mack looks and a storm brewin' when we missed the pay-day yesterday." "Missed the pay-day? Why. I left money in bank for It when I went to Louisville!" "Yes. I know you did. When Dyck :;m didn't come out with the pay I!s yesterdav evening I telephoned i. lie said Vint Farley, as treasur , of the company, had made a draft on him and taken it all.' "And the men?" "The miners went out at 10 o'clock this morning. The blacks would have stood by us. but Ludlow's men drove 'em out made 'em quit We're done. Buddy." Tom dashed his hat on the floor .and the Gordon rage, slow to fire and fierce to scorch and burn when once it was aflame, made for a moment a yelling maniac of him. In the midst of It he turned, and the tempest of Imprecation spent Itself In a gasp of dismay. Ills

mother was standing In the doorway, thin, frail, with the sorrow In her eyes that had been there since the long night of chastenlngs three years agon. As he looked he saw the growln; pallor In her face, the growing speechless horror In her gaze. Then Bhe put out her hands as one groping in darkness and fell before he could reach her. It was her stalwart son who carried Martha Gordon to her room and laid her gently on the bed, with the husband to follow helplessly behind. Also, It was Tom, tender and loving now as a woman, who sat upon the edge of the bed, chafing the bloodless hands and striving as he could to revive her. "I'm afraid you've killed her for sure, this time, son!" groaned the man. But Tom saw the pale lips move and bent low to catch their whisperings. What he heard was only the echo of the despairing cry of the broken heart: "Would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son!" (To be continued.)

!; THE LION'S EOAR.

Just why the lion should be called the king of beasts few have ever stopped to inquire. His habits, says A. Radclyffe Dugmore, writing in Everybody's Magazine, are not kingly. Ho is a shameless scavenger. He may bo a cannibal. There is a story of a contest between a lion and a Hones3 over a carcass which ended in the male killing and then devouring his mate. In days before the advent of modern high-power arms the lion may have stood as a symbol of fearlessness and daring, but time has changed all that He it now neither so fierce nor yet so formidable as he is painted. The chase of the lion is becoming less and less dangerous. "Not a lion has done its duty," said Mr. Roosevelt, emerging from the East African jungles. Besides, opinion of any brute's nature seems to depend largely on the experience of the observer. If the hunter chanced to have a close call with a lion, he assumes the Hon to be the most dangerous of beasts. In Africa, many hold the wild buffalo to be far more fierce than the lion, for thi3 one pertinent reason. Or some fellow has had a brush with an elephant and nearly lost his life; therefore he considers the elephant to be the most dangerous of all animals. Personally, I'd rather face a herd of lions in the open than a herd of buffalo bent on mlscMef. But once in the Hon country, you learn the real reason why he is termed the king of beasts. He looks it. Besides, there is the terror he casts over all the brute creation about him. And as for terror, there is one feature ol life in East Africa that tho traveler never forgets the llon'3 roaring. To me, no other sound in nature if more awe-Inspiring, more appalling, especially if heard at really close range, or among hills, where the echo resounds in its rolling double bass. Contrary to the common idea, lions do not confine their thunderous calls to the night only; frequently In the open daylight one may be startled by a sudden outburst. They are a noisy lot, too. At night I have heard a band keep up the dire chorus for hours at a time, a blood-curdling concert that brings to mind every tale, fanciful or true, of their daring, of their fierce rapacity and might It seems, still further, to have an added dreadfulnesa when one is lying within the frail walls of a tent, with only Its canvas between one and the formidable mu sician. Listen now! There goes one boom ing in the dlstange, a roaring obligato that breaks Into from six to a dozen calls! From the first to the fourth the volume usually Increases; then It dies down. At very closs Quarten one hears the roar melt gradually Into a purr, itself diminishing to a growl ing, discontented mumble that lasts for about half a minute. Or there is the other sound, equally menacing a soft and suggestive crunching noise, as If the beast had already settled to a gruesome meal. The lion's voice is mighty, as mighty as his strength. Forget his habits, his love of carrion,. and his daylight turn of cowardice, and you have the Impression of a king of beast3 a real royalty among the brute creation. An Ambitious Correspondent. "I lunched with Winston Churchill at the Ritz In London," said a New York journalist, "during his remark able campaign. This brilliant young cabinet minister, wtth his American j blood through his mother and hl3 du cal blood through his father, praised American Journalists. He gave me an example of our perseverance. No loss than 47 American correspondents call ed cn Lim at the Board of Trade offices for an interview ona week on the American tariff, and as none of them had sufficiently good credentials, he refused to see them. Finally a correspondent came with a letter trom Mr. Lloyd-George and him Mr. Churchill saw gladly. "'Do you know, he said to the young man, 'that I have refused to s.e 17 of your compatriots on this very subjfct? " 'I ought to know it,' th3 correspondent answered, 'for I'm the whol9 47.' " AKsrravntlnsr Courtesy. In his "Life of Gladstone" Lord Morley somewhere notes that Mr. Gladstone affirmed that ho did not remember ever to have been at a lo33 for a word. Thl3 was an error. Mr. Gladstone was once in the midst of a tremendous denunciatory speech In the British house of commons. "The right honorable member and his satellites" he thundered, glaring acros3 at Mr. Disraeli. And then a sudden Interruption threw him for onco oil his balfnce. Amid the tense jilence Disraeli leaned forward, murmured sweetly the word "satellites," and Gladstone, bowing to the courtesy, proceeded with his denunciation. Westminster Gazette. Mangling the Words. Mark Twain will find an example ot English as she is spoke, or written, when lie visits a certain city in Italy where the authorities of a charitable institution have posed a notice printed In all languages.

ELECTRICITY IN THE KITCHEN Progressive Housewife Has Only to Turn Polished. Copper Switch Conveniently Placed. When the' gas range made its inlial bow to the domestic world house.vives felt that the problem of com.'ortable cofking in the warm season nad been solved in a manner that far surpassed their rosiest dreams. Today the progressive woman has only to turn polished copper switches conveniently placed about the house and she can sit and dream before the glow of an electric heater, run her sewing machine without any physical effort, do all manner of cooking and dean her house and everything in it by attaching her vacuum cleaner to an electric fixture. For the kitchen there are electric ranges completely equipped in everj detail, and with them is included a number of cooking utensils. For baking an electrically heated oven far surpasses any other. The heat ia regulated In the most even manner, as results prove. Tvo great features of this range is that it is absolutely cleanly and occipies a minimum amount of space. There are chafing dishes In various sizes for preparing dishes at the table, waffle irons that turn out the most delicious, crisp, golden brown waffles; toasting stand for the breakfast table that toast a slice of bread perfectly in a minue, coffee perculators, corn roasters, tea kettles, aluminum griddles that are clean and smokeless, water heaters and any number of other things. Electrically heated irons are time and labor savers, for they can be reglated to any degree of heat by a turn of the hand and save endless steps from the range to the ironing board with heavy irons that are either too hot or too cold. Washing machines run by electricity eliminate rubbing and wringing and save wear and tear on the clothes. Portable vacuum cleaners exempt the housewife from the servant problem. They are easily moved from room to room, consume dust and dirt and, are entirely sanitary. Electric radiators in a wide range of sizes and pricisi are just the thing for taking the ch'.U off the dining room on a cool morning after the heat Is turned oft frotf the house, and tempering the batLroom and other apartments in a short time. For use in the sick room there are foot warmers with cozy soft covers that slip on and off in a second and heating pads for the invalid or convalescent. Electric vibrators for massagin impart strength to the muscles. An apparatus for drying the hair is operated at a cost of a fraction of a cent per hour. Buffing machines clean silverware and all metal work. Motors that are attached to the sewing machine are invaluable to the busy mother with many little garments to make. The machine can be run a3 fast or as slow as one desires, noiselessly, and saves a woman from the fatigue that is the result of hours spent at the sewing machine. Lucky, then, is the woman with electricity in her home and a liberal purse, for within her reach are all these luxuries. IS CONTROLLED BY WIRELESS Submarine Boat Operated by Wireless Telegraphy Is One of the Latast Inventions. One of the latest inventions is that of airships and submarines cont?olled by wireless telegraph y, which recently formed the subject of en interesting demonstration given at Dagenham in Essex by Mr. A. Robert, a young Australian Inventor of great promise. Submarine Controlled by Wireless. The lecture was attended by Major Buckley on behalf of the war office, and many other distinguished people, who listened with rapt attention ' to the latest application of Mr. Marconi's wonderful invention. Several experiments have been carried out in this direction with much success. Facts About Telephones. There are 1,800,000 telephones in Europe, 56,000 In Asia, 9,000 in Africa, 7,700,000 in America (of which $7,500,000 are in the United States), and 53,000 in Australia. Denmark is tho European country with the largest number cf telephones per number of inhabitants viz., 33.2 per 1,000 inhabitants; and Denmark has now ousted Sweden from that position, the figures for Sweden being 31,8 per 1,000 inhab itants. Still, all things considered the long distances and the often difficult country, Sweden must be said to hold the premier position in Europe, at least; and Stockholm Is first of all the world's cities as regards number of tf-lephones per number of Inhabitants. The Stockholm Telephone companyhas 180 subscribers per 1,000 inhabitants. Electric Fishes. A special t,U:dy of "electric fishes" has been made by a Scotch authority, with a view to ascertaining the source of tLeir peculiar power, a power that is said to be possessed by about fifty f pecks having electrical organs capable of imparting a shock. A one-half horse power electric motor, driven by a lighting current and directly connected with an air pump. Is a new contrivance for inflating automobile tires in garages.

LIFT OF STORAGE BATTERY

Dry Devices Have Many Uses Where Relation of Weight to Normal Output Is Important Storage batteries have many uses where the relation of their weight to their normal output in electrical energy Is quite important, says Popular Mechanics. For instance, any vehicles propelled by storage batteries must carry the dead weight of these batteries, and the less this weight is in proportion to their output, the less energy will be spent in moving the batteries themselves. The last two decades have shown decided decreases in the weights of such batteries, but how about the so-called dry batteries? What Improvement has there been in the dry cells most of which have carbon and zinc elements with a pasty sal-ammoniac solution? Some years ago one experimenter found that with a carefully proporExperiment With Dry Battery. tloned electromagnet he could get a single dry cell to lift almost Its own volume of Iron. Has this record been surpassed, so that we can now get a dry battery with a lifting power fully equal to Its bulk in iron? It Is bo easy to modify the contents of socalled dry cells by pouring in different solutions that many of our readers have undoubtedly tried it. Now who can show the best record with such a battery for holding up its own volume of iron, and for how long a time? GRIP FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT Decided Improvement Over Old Style Form of Slack Take-up Invented by Eastern Man. A decided improvement over the old-style form of slack take-up for electric-liht cords is that designed by a Massachusetts man. The primary advantage of the new type of grip Is that it can be attached at any Spring Jaws Grip Cord. time and by any person, whereas the old-style take-up needed to be attached before the lamp wa3 on. The device shown in the illustration is a spindle with two spring gripping members on the ends. As will be seen, the method of manipulation is simple In the extreme. If the electric light cord Is too long all that needs be done is to take up whatever slack there is over the desired length and clip on the grip at either side of the slack. Even a child could regulate the length of the cord by this type of take-up. It is understood, of course, that the use of this device refers most particularly to pendant electric lights, hanging over desks or tables, the height of which the user may wish to change from time to time. ELECTRICAL NOTES. Electric heat is now being used successfully in operating on cancers. There ore more than 400 wireless stations a the coasts of the maritime nations. The General Electric company now employs 20,000 men, the largest number in it history. A new electric sign consists of separate letfers, mounted on wheels, which run on a track around a building like a miniature electric train. The gcvernments of Australia and New Zealand will connect various groups oi. British Pacific Islands by wireless. Russia Is becoming interested in bydro-elec'tric power plants and is examining into the matter of electrifying suburban divisions of its state railroads. A German inventor his designed an electro-mjgnetlc drill, two magnets holding if. against the metal to be bored whire a motor drives the drill. The ease with which an electric mc tor of large horse power can be handled and controlled makes the electrically operated dredge most desirable fro river and harbor work as well as for placer mining. To prevent operators of small machines driven by electric motors forgetting to turn off the current when they leave them a mat containing a switch hts appeared in the market. When an operator steps from the mat the circuK, is broken. ' ; The elevators of a bank building in Pittsburg have been provided with electric lights to illuminate the floor at the doc.rway so that passengers entering or leaving the cars know exactly the position of the foundation they are about to sep upon. Electric Laundry on Vessel. One of the large new steamers oi the Orient Steam Navigation company plying between England and Australia has been provided with a model electric equipment, even including an electric laundry. The wash is first boiled In a tank, where ' ie water is kept at boiling point by n.-ans of steam pipes; thence it is carried to a pair of washing machines driven by an electric motor. The clothing Is dried by means of a hydro-extractor driven at G40 revolutions per minute bv a two-horseuow-er motor.
