that James Stryker was his rival–abated'
ad in Ell•'s house in' the character of •

patient, while Ella's mother looked on
him–John–as • brute who had ort on
tube young man out of envy. It was
hard For the first time perhaps in his
career ho telt thoroughly despondent,
and it was not till he got home that he
paid any attention to the cut in his artn,
on which the blood had dried ..p that
his shirt was stuck fast in it, and he
started the bleeding again as he pulled it
off.
But his father had seen too many of
such and tar inure serious hurts to feel
frightened about • mere flesh cut, and he
soup had it washed and bound up, ob-
fserving he did so :
'If riser never no worse nor that,ye'er
lucky, John. Go to bed and sleep it off.
It'll be sore for a month, mebbe ; but
your flesh '11 heal quick.'
,.Next morning, when John came down
to breakfast, he notioed that all the peo-
ple in the boarding bouselooked curious-
ly at him over their newsprpapers, and
found that his speech to the workmen
had been reported in full, while another
paragraph gave an equally full account of
the beating of Stryker and his rescue by
Armstoag in such a clear and truthful
way, that John exclaimed involuntarily :
'Where did they'get that I wonder?
Hearing a suppressed chuokle halide
him, he saw his Lather beaming at hien,
and asked hastily ::
'Did you give it tio them, lather r
.os 'You bet I did,' was the reply. 'I
wasn't loin' to hide your light, boy, if
v you did hide it yourself. 1 give it 'em

Mnd when they were in their own room
M
old John :
'Them reporters is curious fellers. I
used to think they'd rather tell a lie any
time than the truth, but that feller at
station he took down all I .,sial, and I
see it's printed straight. Didn't seem to
wanter lie at all. Waal, John, what be
ye goin' to do to -day r
'Look for work, father. I think I can
gat it somehow. Anyway, I'm roeng to
try my best. You amuse yourself the
best you can while I'm gone.
And he strode forth into the keen
Marek wind to !oukfur employment with
'est as good a heart as be bsd. shown two
before, ready to begin again at the
m of the gadder, and repining no
Ino% at the lofts of his place of the day
before than if he had never held it
But John was destined to find that
day, and many another after, the truth
cf his father's warning that people look
differently on a man in a place and the
same person out of ono.
Everywhere he met rebuffs, and in
more than one shop po•itire insults from
the enmplopers as soon as he had spoken
i is name.
They all seemed to knew him, and to
know that he was on the side of the men
in the strike, His speech had excited
attention and criticism everywhere. Be-
fore the week was out he discovered that
he was the object of hitter animosity
and suspicion on the part of every iron-
worker in the trade, and that there was
absolutely no hope for him to obtain
work from any of thein.
As soon as this dawned on his mind,
he came home and told his father :
'We are gotng to have a harder fight
than I thought, and I must economise.
1f you wish to go to Painted Post, I will
not oppose it. I have three hundred
dollars savings Take halt, and I will
do what I oan with the rest. As soon as
1 am established again,I'll send for you.'
So they parted, and John felt more
lonely and deserted than ever, as he
trudged from place to place, looking for
work. To add to his troubles, his arm
inflamed, and the wound assumed a bad
appearance'
so that he could not pretend
to able for manual labor : and thus
,passed on four long weary weeks, during
which the strike became more general,
the deadlock more hopeless
He went every evening to the Union
to counsel patience, and keep away from
the works in the day time, while his pre-
diction came trna that the strikers would
find :everybody oat of the trade willing
'to give them work, and that the green
hands would not answer for ironworkers.
But as ante days and weeks went on,
and his honey melted away, with board
and doctor's bills, he baronet last to feel
gloomy and desperate, when one day
rambling in the lower part of the town,
he met face to face no other than Mr.
Vclpin, director, cooing out of Wall
street into Broadway.
With a slight nod he was peeling on,
wbea Vulpin aeoostsd him :
'Why, tt is Armstrong, of course.
Well, well jrou look as if you'd been

His manner was ov.rpnweriaaly cor-

pressed it caressingly ea be spoke.
John looked atbits ooddly,and told him

John looked at him,
'Do you really mean it 1'
'Of ovur s I do. Will you take the

Then John felt the tears coming into
his ayes, and he said huskily :

'Perhaps. Tar not anxious on that

And half an hour afterwards John
Armstrong was in the old familiar shop,
where he had seen and learned so much,
and Handy was shaking hands violently,
say4ISg :
'Whit a simpleton you were when you
might have drawn your salary all this
tim, to be going round to mechanic's
meeting ! You thought we were uown

they say, and he can't hurt us ; and as
to the rest, they're just silly enough to

what I want done.'
And they went to w rk in the once
over plans and estimates, with the result
that John saw an infinity of work before
him, enough to frighten a weaker than,
but at which he smiled as he said :
'I think we can d, it, Mr. Handy. I'll
do my best. But above all I'm gbed for
the men.'
And that afternoon they parted in the
best of spirits, while the same evening,
John made a speech at the Union, which
set the omen yellmq with. delight, fur he
told them that the strike was over at
last, and that the advance was granted.
How they cheered him ! Iiuw they
cheered Handy and Vulpin, who were in-

The strike was ever, and one could
only tell .boo suffering it jun caused by
going isjmto the homes of the poor work-
men who had been out in it.
That strike caused the deaths of hun-
dreds of children, while more than one
mother had succumbed to poor food,
Clad air, and insufficient fire. Old Steve
Barker was right when he said to John :
'Ay, ay ; its over, but we'll never fur -

A RNAE& IN THE ORARR.
Sone weeks afterwards John Arm-
trong took his seat at the manager's
esk of the Vulcan Works, James
Stryker, pale and feeble looking, but
with a face no longer disfigured with
brines, was sitting in an easy chair at

and he lay back in his easy chair, dress-
ed in the neatest of velvet smoking -
jackets, with embroidered slippers nu his
feet, listening to Ells read the pater, for
it was Saturday morning and there was
no school to employ her.
Presently she came to a paragraph she
read with peculiar zest
'Sines the Vulcan Iron Company has
resumed operations, the Pittsburg
Works have re -opened, and the strike
may be said to be virtually over. The
Ezoelaio? Works, it is said, are to be
sold to • new company.
'Is that true, Mr. Stryker 1' asked the
older lady lifting her clauses towards
him.
Stryker coloured slightly.
'Yes ; I'm tired of it. Why should I

me so with his own lips. Good morn-

they heard her going up stairs.

When he did see her, however, he
could not conceal his surprise. She had
the advantage over him of bean prepar-
ed for the meeting, for he started, blush-
ed, stammered, and said hurriedly :
'I beg your pardon. I did uut see
You at first. I never dreamed of your
being in this part of the town.'
Then Ella screwed up her courage to
the effort, and said, boldly:
•Mr. Armstrong, I wanted to see you
I am glad we met, I–I wanted to ask
you why you have never been to see us
sines that dreadful night 1'
He hart become calmer now.
'I did nut same,' he answered, quiet-
ly, 'for two reasons. First, I have been
out of a place through taking the side of
the men in the strike. Second, your
mother had shown a dislike to my pres-
ence which it was not for mete offend by
introducing myself.'
'But I did nut share it,' she said, im-
pulsively. 'My mother has her pre-
judices, and that nean helps to excite
them. You hare only to Some to remove

'I know. She told me herself. She

'When I --Never mind. It is not

'Will you eume and explain 1' she ask-
ed, wistfully. 'I wish you would do it

John telt a strange thrill.
'I would do a great dell for you,' he
said, simply–'a great dial. But there
are some things a man cannot do. If
you wish to restore ore to your mother's
friendship write to my father at Printed

And with that John raised his hat and
departed, never looking back, while

quite romantic. I believe that you have
fully reformed your ways.–
'Indeed–indeed I have,' he said,
earnestly. 'For love of her I would do

She shall go to Europe, the East --all
over the world if she wants to You
shall go with her. I will not separate

that you might be on my side, and help

And he locket languishingly at the

She fidgetted about, feeling guilty.

'Mr. Stryker,' she said presentiy,with
the coolest of voices, 'I thank you ler
your offer, but decline it. If you will
not take that for an answer, and change
the subject, 1 shall leave the room.'
He turned away, grinding his tsseth,
but took the hint and kept silence for a
little while. At last ke murmured with
the air of a n artyr :
'I did nut expect to be insulted for
paying you the highe.t sempliumeet a

may come when you may regret the
harshness you have shown. I may have
injured others–you never.'
She went on workingquietly, and he
was emboldened to ad :
'I never thought it before, but I see it
is true what I have heard cynics say.'
'And what is that !' she asked, when
he stopped.
'Only that the mast delicate women
are those who most admire brawn and
muscle, and look with moat contempt on
intellect.'
She raised her eyes composedly.
'By which I am to uuderstand that
you consider yourself an intellectual
paragon.'
I did nut say so. I hope 1 sin not a

Her eyes flashed.
'What do you mean, sir ? You aro

`Oh, never inind,' he answered, with s

bruiser. I have, in fact, been well -
beaten by some of your friends in that
line, headed by your particular hero, the
young blacksmith. I hope you'll be hap-
py as his wife.'
She had grown deadlypaleas he spoke,
and now sprang up from her chair.
'Since you have shown your true char-
acter at last,' she said, cuttingly, 'I can-
not be blamed for leaving the room.'
And she was sweeping to the door
when her mother entered.
With all the eagerness of an insulted
girl she seizes on the opportunity.
'Mother,' she cried, 'this person has
just insulted me grossly. Shall I leave
