with a bolt, and thea drew the iron car

Over this the car rested while the top man

down the chimney, and into the terming
below. Theo the car wee returned to
the elevator, the bolt pushed beck, and s

machinery, and the elevator began iia
duwuward journey.
All this required methodinal tare and
wakefulness. The.Andrea of the settle -
snout had told Mary of an awful Diebt,
two wanton before, when, owiie to the
athlete of the night top -men, an explo-
sion bad occurred which wrecked and
burned the Worts, and brought all the
men in the top -house to • fearful death.
No wood*, Mary's hart had stood
still with frigbt when her father reeled
throsrb the door, nor that ahe resolved
to follow him to the top -house to make
sere that he had not fallen asleep. She
had watched the furnace, and knew by
the shower of sparks that were sent up
that the ore wee being dumped regularly;
but at any moment sleep might iivertake
him—a sleep which would surely mean
dismissal and disgrace, and possibly
death to himself and othen-
The road was white and lonely. The
frczen river had no word of enooerage-
peace the cleanness. the stability—Mary
knew them all through her mother's
words and sighs and tears.
A wrest resolve had crept into the
child's heart to try and reproduce that
peaceful life. "To be respectable and
to stay in one place" was what she lived
for. If only her father would not
drink !
There came a day to the child when
she began to see her way dear. A let-
ter arrived from a man with whom her
father had worked, before his marriage,
in • Penobscot logging tamp. He wrote
of an opeeing fur the family at the
Katandin Iron Works, in Maine. Fair
wages mod a comfortable home ware
ready.When John Cronin read the letter, all
his old love for the weeds came back to
him. He could feel the cold steel of the
Run -barrel, and the supple rod bend in
his hand. Before lung the money was
got together which carried the family
from Boston to Bangor. and from there
to the Works, Bitty inalee north.
Six months had gone, and every day
brought new beauties to Katandin. Now
and then the child left the Works, with
its black, unsightly buildings, long row
of charcoal -houses. heaps of purple -tint-
ed flag, the refuse of the iron, and acres
of trees dead from the sulphur fumes,
and explored Pleasant River, leaping
from one flat stop* to another. and gath-

Mary had no time for thought. She

Then she seised the handles of the cat
and wheeled it toward the fiery pit. The

Before she knew it, it was done. The

and the bell rung. The elevator had
gone down and the floor had been re-

Then Mary crouched beside the sleep-

she would stay until morning, and hoped
that by that time her father could be
routed and that they might get home
without suspicion.
The elevator was coming again, and
again she must nerve herself to roll the
heavy car to that awful brink. Well,
she had done it once and she could du it
