CHAPTER III.–(Cont'd.)
While she was out of ,he room Coo-
cora 0 addressed himself to her father.:
IA hat did Mr.,, Scanlan think 'f the
rumor that the Works were tobe
sold? Mr. Scanlan grunted his con-
tempt foithe rumor, The Puzroy
Steel Works were a family affair;
they would never be sold.
"I'm sure I hope not," said Gor-
coran. "Forel course if they were
to be : sold, there's no telling what
might happen to all the inert. there.
They might be laid off, they might be
turned out of their jobs. A man, is
ducky in these days if he has a good
business of his own, that can't be sold
over his head."
"You don't need. to do any worryin'
ors my account," Mr, Scanlan replied
tes'tily.
"Oh, certainly not; oh, I don't sup-
pose there's any real danger," Cor-
eoran made haste to say. "Only, as
I look round and see the other young
fellows, like Donohue here, I can't
help feeling l'm pretty lucky, to be
fixed as I am."
"Them that are satisfied with what
they've got have a right to feel
lucky," retorted the formidable Mr,
Scanlan. "Them are the ones gen-
erally that have got mare than they
deserve."
Corcoran threw up one arm and
pretended to dodge. "Never touched
me. You and Mrs. Scanlan know
I must have ,more than I've got if I'm
to be satisfied. I hope you folks wish
may get it."
The severe and tight-lipped silence
n the part of both Mr. Scanlan and
xis wife intimated' no enthusiastic as -
isurance that they would forward their
lisitor's desires. • Corcoran was so
ttle abashed, however, that he laugh-
ed indulgently and remarked, "I be-
lieve Donohue has got you all hyp-
notized "
Incensed beyond endurance by this
charge, Mr. Scanlan brought his net
down on the arm of the conversation
chair and vociferated, "No man can
do that to me. No, sir. No man."
And Mrs. Scanlan looking male-
volently over her shoulder- admonish-
ed him, "It seem's to me you'd better
think what you're saying, Mr. Carver -
an."
Jerry, who was silent, disdain
triumphed over anger. He walked
to the table at one, side of the room
and, picking up the copy of "Ben
Hur," bound in alligator skin, began
ate turn the pages.
Scanlan, impartial in her fav-
ors, at once admonished him: "I al-
ways tell Dave to be careful how he
handles that book."
Jerry put down "Sen Hur" and
turned to the music rack. And then
Nora entered, raidant- and eager; with
a gray cloak over her shoulders, new pecially critical. We must reduce
white gloves on her hands, and a scarf our consumption one-third. Use only

Jerry. Nora,. however, did not
resent it; the sound of her gay laugh-
ter seemed to linger in the room even
after she had gone.
Jerry felt obliged to linger also for
what should be a decent interval. Mr.
Scanlan, however, commanded him to
sit down, so he took a chair in front
of Mrs. Scanlan's section of the con-
versation chair, unwilling to receive
any more of her Parthian glances. Mr.
Scanlan, short -necked' and stiff, screw-
ed himself round to address the young
man.
"I will have it understood," he said,
"that Nora is not for rip drug clerk."
Though encouraged by the state -
grand opera, she will e s ng ng y
way in grand houses. I said to her
only this very night, `Nora," I said,
'you'll be ,a millionaire's wife before
you die.'"
"117411," said Jerry, "you xleedn't
try to discourage me ,by telling me
that, Mrs. Scanlan. Maybe one of
these days I'll be that millionaire. "
e dy
He rose, and Mr. Scanlan rose also.
"Jerry," he said, laying his hand on
the young man's shoulder.. and speak-
ing not unkindly, "you'd better be put-
ting the nation clean out of your head.
I'm wishing you well, but my girl is
not for you, and that's the fact. In-
stead of Paying up money for my aid
( age: I've spent it giving her the best
I could—she's had her piano and her
clothes andeher lessens in music and
I singing, and I've been glad to ,give
, them to her, for I wart her' to better
herself in the world. Now you un -
I derstand how we feel,
"Yes, but of course it can't aper my
feeling, Mr. Scanlan. And if I
I found that Nora cared for me, you
couldn't exPect me to hold off, just for
the sake of obliging you and Ors.Scarilan . "
"I'd like to know where you get
your impudence," Mrs. Scanlan ex -
I claimed. "Not from your ma; she
never would talk back like that. And
your pa, he was a mill, quiet kind" of
man."
"Of course I don't mean to he im-
pudent, Mrs. Scanlan." Jerry's voice
was as placating as he could make it.
"If ever I can get Nora to consent, I
hope I can get you and Mrs. Scanlan
to do the same. I should feel badly
if I couldn't."
"'Well,
"•Well, you can't," snapped, Mrs.
Scanlan. "tlnd anyway Nora ham
too nuc^h oepse to Iisten to yctu."
Jerry flushed. ""I'll say good-nig'ht,"
he remarked, and he lett the room..
Mr. ,Scanlan followed him epologeti-
eally, hospitably, into the hall and
opened the .dear for lliin..
"We Gant back you up on this,
Jerry," he said, "but you're a good
bey, you are, and if 1 had another
daughter you could have her and wel-
come. But not Nera�–no, not Nora."
Ile strode briskly on to the mill
gates, swung off for half a mile
through the lower part of the town
ascended the hill until he reacher{
the main street, and then struck oft
along it towards home. But as he
passed McCabe's, the sound of dance
music from the upper Windows came
to him; after he had gone by a few
steps he stopped, turned back, and
mounted the stairs, He paid twenty-
five cents for a ticket and entered the
hall .
It was crowded with dancers, bump-
ing one another, shrilly exclaiming,
shrilly laughing, above the sound of
the tinny piano and the two raucous
violins. Naked gasjets; flared from
brackets high along the' walks; those
more distant were encircled by a dim
effulgence, owing to the dust that
swain thick abbve the dancers' heads.
The more rowdy of the young men of
the town, the'more brazen of the
young women, were canspicui5usly
present, pushing, shoving, dancing
boisterously, wooing and: responding
to advances with flagrant publicity.
Jerry stood watching far Nora to
make her appearance, fair as a lily
among the blowzy, loud, robust young
women; he saw her presently, :her
slim, white; figure and sweet; flushed
face emerged for one shining, instant,
and then the profaning mob shut her
again from view. From time to time
he had glimpses of.her, twice she
passed near him but without seeing
him; Corcoran, holding her close, was
laughing, and talking in her ear with
an effect that was to Jerry of odious
intimacy. And she'seemed to be en-
joying it, to 'lie responsive; Jerry saw
her swing her head round and `look
into' her partner's face and laugh
ga'i'ly
The
music ceased, the
