    looked surprised, but made
describing briefly the acci
dents. Mr. Hardy listened intently
with bowed head. At last he looked
op and said abruptly:
"Corns Into the casting room."
They went out of the office, passed
through the repairing shops and enter
ed the foundry department. Even on
that bright winter morning, with the
air outside so clear and cool, the atmos
phere In this place was murky and
close. The forges In the blacksmith
room at the farther end glowed through
the smoke and dust like smoldering
piles of rubbish dumped here and there
by chance upon some desolate moor
and stirred by 111 omened demons of
the nether world. Mr. Hardy shudder
ed as he thought of standing in such an
atmosphere all day to work at severe
muscular toil. He recalled with sharp
YtTldness a request made only two
months before for dust fans which had
proved successful in other shops and
which would remove a large part of
the heavy, coal laden air, supplying
fresh air In Its place. The company
had refused the request and had oven
said through one of its officers that
when the men wore out the company
could easily get more.
Mr. Hardy and the foreman paused
at the entrance to the casting room
where the men had been Injured the
day before. A few men were working
sullenly. Mr. Hardy asked the fore
man to call the men together near the
other end of the room; he wanted to
say something to them. He walked
over there while the foreman spoke to
the men. They dropped their tools anil
came over to where Mr. Hardy was
standing. They were mostly Scandi
navians and Germans, with a sprin
kling of Irish and Americans. Mr.
Hardy looked at them thoughtfully.
They were a hard looking crowd. Then
he said very slowly and distinctly.
"You may quit work until after Sco
Tllle's funeral. The machinery here
needs overhauling."
The men stood impassive for a mo
ment Finally a big Dane stepped up
and said:
"We be no minded to quit work
these times. We no can nITord it. Give
us work In some other place."
Mr. Hardy looked at him and replied
quietly:
"The wages will go on Just the same
while you are out."
There was a perceptible stir among
the men. They looked confused and
Incredulous. Mr. Hardy still looked at
them thoughtfully.
Finally the big Done stepped for
ward again and said, speaking more
respectfully than he did at first:
"Mr. Hardy, we be thinking maybe
yon would like to help towards him the

Cor poor fellows injured. We all take
band in't My brother be one lose his
two eyes."
A tear actually rolled down the
grimy cheek of the big fellow and
dropped Into the coal dost at his feet
Mr. Hardy realised that he was look
ing at a brother man. He choked
down a sob and putting his band In his
pocket pulled ont all the change he bad
and poured It Into the Dane's band.
Then, seeing that It was only $4 or $5,
he pulled out his purse and emptied
that of Its bills, while Barns, the fore
man, and all the men looked on in stu
pefied wonder.
"No, no thanksl I'll do something
Mr. Hardy walked away, feeling as
if the ground wore heavy under him.
What was all his money compared
with that life which had been sacrific
ed In that gas poisoned sepalcber? He
could not banish from his mind the pic
tars of that face as It looked to him
wokfi ho drew back the sheet and look
ed at It
He harried back to the office through
the yard and sat down at the well
worn desk. Tke mail had come In, and
half a dosen letters lay there. What
did it all amount to, this grind of busi
ness, when the heartache of the world
called for so much sympathy? Tbsn
over him came the sense of his obliga
tions to nil family Clara's need of a
father's help, George going to the bad,

Re sink Into a reverie for a moment
Be wai Boused by the sounding ef the
i wllstle. What noon already? So
wlftly lad the time gone! Ho turned
hlaTletk, bewildered, and picked up
i letters glanced over them hurried-
' aaa ins, care directions for the an-
n of mm of them to bis Impatient
employer's strange behavior this morn
ing. Among the letters was one which
made his cheek burn with self re
proach. It was an invitation to a club
dinner to be given that evening In hon
or of some visiting railroad president
It was Just such an occasion ss he
had enjoyed very many times before,
and the recollection brought to mind
the number of times he had gone away
from bis home and left his wife sitting
drearily by the Are. How could he
have done it? He tossed the glided in
vitation fiercely Into the wastebasket
and, rising, walked his room, thinking,
thinking. He hud so much to do anil
so little time to do It in! He thought
thus a moment then went out and
walked rapidly over to the hotel where
he was In the habit of getting lunch
when be did not go home. He ate a
little hurriedly and then hastened out.
As he was going out upon the side
walk two young men oame in and Jos
tled agaiust liiiu. They were smoking
anil talking in a loud tone. Mr. Hardy
cauclit the sound of his own name, lie
looked at the speaker, and It was the
face of the young inuu be had seen In
his dream, the one who had Insulted
George and struck him afterward. For
a moment Mr. Hardy was tempted to
confront the youth and luquirc Into his
son's habits.
"No," he said to himself after a
pause: "I will have a good talk with
George himself, That will be the
best."
He hurried back to the office and ar
ranged some necessary work for ui
clerk, took a walk through the other
Office, then went to the telephone and
colled up the superintendent of the
Sunday school, who was a bookkeeper
In a clothing house. He felt an Intense
desire to arrange for an Interview with
him as soon as possible. Word came
back from the house that the superin
tendent had been called out of town by
serious Illness In his old home anil
would not be buck until Saturday. Mr.
Hardy felt a disappointment more
keen than the occasion seemed to war
rant. He was conscious that the time
was very brief. He had fully made up
his mind that so far as In him lay he
would redeem his svlflsh past and
make a week such as few men ever
made. He was Just beginning to real
ize that circumstances are not always
In our control. We nre obliged to wait
for time to do some things. We cannct
redeem seven years of selfishness with
seven dsys of self denial. The death
of Scovllle revealed to Mr. Hardy bis
powerlessness in the face of certain
possibilities. He now feared that the
superintendent would fail to return in
time to let him confess to him his Just
sorrow for his lack of service In the
school. He sat down to his desk and
under that Impulse wrote a letter that
expressed In part how he felt Then
he Jotted down the following Items to
be referred to the proper authorities of
the road:
Item 1. The dust In the blacksmith
shop and In the brass polishing rooms
Is largely unnecessary. The new En
glefield revolving rolling fans and ele
vator ought to be Introduced in both
departments. The cost will be but an
Item to the road and would prolong the
life and add to the comfort of the em
ployees. Very Important.
Item 2. Organised and Intelligent ef
fort should be made by all railroad cor
porations to lessen Sunday work In
shops and on the road. All perishable
freight should be so bandied as to call
for the services of as few men on Sun
day as possible, and excursion and pas
senger trains should be discontinued
except In cases of unavoidable neces
sity. Item S. The Inspection of boilers, re
torts, castings, machinery of all kinds,
should be made by thoroughly compe
tent and responsible men, who shall an
swer for all unnecessary accidents by
swift and severe punishment In case of
loss of life or limb.
Item 4. In case of injury or death to
employees. If Incurred through the neg
lect ef the company to provide safety,
it should provide financial relief for the
families than Injured or stricken by
death and so far as possible arrange
for their future.
Item 5. Any well organised railroad
could, with profit to Its employees,
have upon Its staff of salaried men a
corps of chaplains or preachers whose
business Is would be to look after the
religious Interests of the employees.
Under this last Item Mr. Hardy wrote
In a footnote, "Discuss feasibility of
this with Mr. B., Influential director."
It was now 3 o'clock. The short win
ter day was fast drawing to a close.
The hum of the great engine in the ma
chine shop was growing very weari
some to the manager. He felt sick of
Its throbbing tremor and longed to es
cape from It Ordinarily he would
have gone to the clubroom and bad a
game of chess with a member, or else
be would have gone down and idled
away an hour or two before supper at
the Art museum, where be was a con
stant visitor that was when he had
plenty of time and the business ef the
office was not pressing. Young Well
man, however, had succeeded to the
clerical details of the shops, and Mr.
Hardy's time was generally free after
4 o'clock.
He had been oppressed with the
thought of the other Injured men. He
must go and see them. He could not
rest till be had personally visited them.
He went out and easily ascertained
where the men lived. Never before did
the contrast between the dull, uninter
esting row of shop tenements and bis
own, elegant home rise up so sharply
before him. in ract, ne nad never
given It much thought before. Now,
as be looked forward to the end of the
week, he knew that at Its close he
would be no richer, no better able to
enjoy luxuries than the dead man lying
In No. TOO. He wondered vaguely but
passionately how be could make use of
what he bad heaped together to make
the dally Urea of some of these poor
men happier.
Bo found the man who had loot both
eyes sitting np In bed and feeling in a
pathetic manner of a few blocks of
wood which one of the children In the
room had brought to him. He was a
big. powerful man like his brother, the
large boned Dane, and It seemed a very
pitiful thing that he should be l.ving
there like a baby when his muscles
were as powerful as ever. The brother
wub In the room with the Injured man,
and he said to Dim :
"Olaf, Mr. Hardy come to see you."
1 "Hardy? Hardy?" queried the man
In a peevish tone. "What uo I know
him to be?"
"The manager. The one who donate
so really much moneys to you."
"Ah!" with an Indescribable accent.
"He make me work on Sunday. He
lose me my two eyes. A bud man,
Svord. I will no have anything to do
! with him."
I Aud the old descendant of a thousand
kings turned his face to the wull and
would not even so much as muke a mo
tion toward his visitor. His brother
Offered a rude apology. Mr. Uurdy ro
plled In a low tone:
"Say nothing about It. I deserve all
your brother says. Hut tor a good rea
son 1 wish Oluf would say he forgives
me."
Mr. nardy come nearer the bod and
1 spoke very earnestly and as If he hud
known the inuu Intimately;
"1 did you a great wrong to order the
work on Sunday and In not doing my
1 duty concerning the Inspection of the
' machinery. I huve come to say so and
to ask your forgiveness. 1 may never
see you again. Will you say to me,
' 'Brother, 1 forgive you'' "
I There was a moment of absolute
' passivity ou the part of the big fellow;
then a very large and brawny hand
was extended, aud the blind man said:
"Yes, 1 forgive. We learned that in
the old BJble at Bvendorf."
Mr. Hardy laid his hand in the other,
and his lips moved In prayer of hum
ble thanksgiving. What, Robert Hardy!
Is this that proud man who only the
day before was so lifted up with self
Ishuess that he could coldly criticise
his own minister for saying that peo
ple ought to be more Christlike? Are
you staudlng here In this oor man's
house which two days ugo you would
not have deigned to enter and beseech
ing him as your brother in the great
family of God to forgive you for what
you have done and left undone? Yes;
you have looked Into the Face of Eter
nity; you realize now what life really
means and what souls are really
worth.
He went ont after a few words with
the family and saw all the other Injur
ed men. By the time he bad finished
these visits It was dark, and he eager
ly turned home, exhausted with the
day's experience, feeling as If he had
lived In a new world and at the same
time wondering at the rapidity with
which the time had fled.
He sighed almost contentedly to him
self as he thought of the evening with
his family and how he would enjoy It
after the disquiet of the day. His wife
was there to greet him, and Alice and
Clara and Bess clung about him as he
took off his coat and came Into the
beautiful room where a cheerful fire
was blazing. Will came down stairs
as his father came In, and In the brief
Interval before supper was ready Mr.
Hardy related the scenes of the day.
They were all shocked to bear of
Scoville's death, and Mrs. Hardy at
once began to discuss some plans for
relieving the family. Bess volunteered
to give up half her room to one of the
children, and Alice quietly outlined a
plan which Immediately appeared to
her father businesslike and feasible.
In the midst of this discussion supper
was announced, snd tkey all sat down.
"Where Is George?" asked Mr. Hardy.
Ordinarily he wonld have gone on with
the meal without any reference to the
boy, because he wss so often absent
from the table. Tonight he felt an Ir
resistible longing to have all his chil
dren with htm.
"He said be was Invited out to sup
per with the Bramleys," said Clara.
Mr. Hardy received the announce
ment In silence. He felt the bitterness
of such indifference on the part ef his
older son. "What!" he said to himself.
"When he knows I had such a little
while left, could he not be at home?"
Then almost immediately flashed into
him the self reproach even stronger
than his condemnation of his boy.
"How much have I done for him these
last ten years to win his love and pro
tect him from evil T
After supper Mr. Hardy sat down by
bis wife, and In the very act be blush
ed with shame at the thought that be
could not recall when he bad spent an
evening thus. He looked Into her face
and asked gently:
"Mary, what do you want me to do?
Shall I read as we used to In the old
days?"
"No; let us talk together," replied
Mrs. Hardy, bravely driving back her
tears. "I cannot realize what It all
means. I have been praying all day.
Do you still have the Impression you
bad this morning?"
"Mary, I am If anything even more
convinced that God baa spoken to me.
The Impression has been deepening
with me all day. When I looked Into
poor Scoville's face, the terrible nature
of my past selfish life almost over
whelmed me. Oh, why have 1 abused
God's goodness to me so awfully?"
There was silence a moment Then
Mr. Hardy grew more calm. He began
to discuss what be would do the second
day. He related more fully the Inter
view wltb the men In the shop and his
visits to the Injured. He drew Clara to
him and began to Inquire into ber trou
bles In sucb a tender, loving way that
Clara's proud, passionate, willful na
ture broke down, and she sobbed out
her story to him ss she bad to ber
mother the night before.
Mr. Hardy promised Clara that he
would see James the next day. It was
true that James Caxton bad only a
week bofore approached Mr. Hardy
and told him In very manful fashion of
bis love for his daughter, but Mr. Har
dy bad treated It as a child's affair, and
In accordance with his usual policy In
family matters had simply told Clara
and Bess to discontinue their visits at
the old neighbor's. But now that he
heard the story from the lips of bis
own daughter be saw the seriousness
of It, and crowding back all his former
pride and hatred of the elder Caxton he
promised Clara to see James the next
day.
Clara clung to her father In loving
surprise. She was bewildered, as were
all the rest, by the strange event that
hod happened to her father, but she
never had so felt his love before, and,
forgetting for awhile the significance
of his wonderful dream, she felt happy
In his presence and In his affection for
her.
The evening had sped on with sur
prising rapidity while all these matters
There was his son George, too drunk to
stand itfofic.
were being discussed, and as It drew
near to midnight ogaiu Kobert Hardy
felt almost happy in the atmosphere of
that home aud the thought that he
could still for a little while create Joy
for those who loved hi in. Suddenly he
spoke of his other son:
"I wish George would come In. Then
our family circle would bo complete.
But It Is bedtime for you, Bess, and all
of us, for that matter."
It was Just then that steps wers
beard on the front porch, and voices
were heard as If ul'.lng In whispers.
The bell rang. Mr. Hardy rose to go
to the door. His wife clung to him ter
rified. "Oh, don't go, Robert! I am afraid
for you."
"Why, Mary, It ennnot be anything
to harm me. Don't be alarmed."
Nevertheless be was a little startled.
The day had been a trying one for him.
He went to the door, his wife snd the
children following him close behind.
He threw It wide open, snd there, sup
ported by two of bis companions, one
of them the young man Mr. Hardy
bad seen In the hotel lobby at noon,
waa his son George, too drunk to stand
alone. He leered Into the face of his
father and mother with a drunken look
that froze their souls wltb despair as
the blaze of the hall lamp fell upon
him reeling there.
And so the first of Robert Hardy's
aeven days came to an end.
