When I'hiliii reached tho resldencp of
Mr. Winter, be found himself at once
In the tiiiilsi of a mob of howling, au
gry men, who surged over the lawn
ami tramped the light enow tlint whs
falling into a muddy iuhmh over the
wiilkn and up the veranda steps. A
lump electric lump out in the street in
front of the house threw a liulit over
the at range scene.
Philip wedged his way In among the
men, crying out his name and asking
for room i" bo mnde so that he could
see Mr. Winter. The crowd, under the
Impulse which sometimes moves ex
elted lioilies of men, yielded to h!s re
quest. There were cries of "Let liitu
hai' a niiuii-ler if he wants one!"
"Honiu here for the priest:' "Give the
preacher n chance to do some praying
where it'.-, needed mighty bad!" and bo
on, I'hilip t'liuiel a way opened for j
him as he struggled toward the house,
und he hurried forward, feuiiug some!
great trouble, but hardly prepared tor
what he saw when he ilnally reached
ihe slops of the veranda.
Half a dozen men had the mill owner
in their grasp, liavlug evidently drag
god hi in mil of bis dining room. His
eoul was liiili torn off, us if there bad
been a struggle. Marks of bloody tiu
gers stuiuod bis collar. 1 J is face was
while, und his eyes lilled with the fear
oi death, Within, upon the floor, lay
his wife, Who had fainted. A son and
a daughter, his two grown up children)
clung terrified to one of the servants,
who kneeled half fainlin' herself by
the side of the mill owner's wife. A
table overturned and fragments of a
late dluuer scattered over the side
board nud on the lloor, a broken plate,
the prim nfa muddy fool on the white
tiling before the open (Ire- the whole
picture flashed upon Philip like h scene
out of the French revolution, and be
almost rubbed his eyes to know if be
was uwnko und in America In the
nineteenth century, lie was Intensely
practical, however, und the nature of
bis duty never for it moment escaped
him. He at once advanced and said
calmly:
"What does all Ibis menu? Why this
attack on Ur. winter?"
The moment Mr. Winter saw Philip
ami beard his voice he cried out. trem
bling: "Is that you, Mr. Strong!
ThankOod! save me: They an going
to kill me!"
who talks of killing or tnkiiiK hu
man life contrary to law?" exclaimed
Philip, con lug up closer and placing
his hand on Mr. Winter's arm, "Men.
what arc you doing?"
For a moment the crowd fell back a
little from the mill owner, and one of
the men w ho had been foremost in the
attack replied with some respect, nl
thotlgll in a sullen manner: "Mr.
Strong, this is not a case for your In
terference. This man bus caused the
death of one of his employees, and ho
deserves hanging!"
"Ami hanging he will get!" yelled an
other. A great cry arose. In the midst
of it all Mr. Winter shrieked out bis
Innocence. "It Is all a mistake: They
do not know! Mr. Strong, tell them
they do nol know:"
The crowd closed around Mr. Winter
again. Philip knew enough about men
to know t!..ii the mill owner was in
geuulne danger. Most of his assail
unts were the foreign element in the
mills. Many of them wore under the
Influence of liquor. The situation was
crlllcnt Mr, Winter elung to Philip
with tho frantic clutch of a man who
sees only one way of escape and dim:
to thai with mad eagerness, Philip
turned n round and faced tho mob. Me
raised his voice, hoping to gain a bear
ing and reason w Ith It, but be might as
well have raised bis voice against a
tornado, Some one threw a handful
of mud and snow toward the prisoner.
In an lustnnt every band reached for
the nearest missile, and a shower of
stones, muddy snowballs nud limbs
torn from the trees on the lawn was
rained upon (he house. Most of tho
windows in the lower story were bro
ken. All ti:is time Philip waa eagerly
remonstrating with the few men who
had their bauds on Mr. Winter. He
thought If he could only plead with
them lo h i the man go be could slip
with him around the end of the veran
da through a elde door and take him
through the bouse to a place of safety,
lie also knew that every minute was
precious, us the police might arrive lit
any moment and change tho situation.
Itut In spite of bis pleas the mill own
er was gradually pushed und dragged
down off the veranda towanl the gate.
Tho DUO tried to got Philip out of tho
way.
"Wo don't want to harm you, sir.
Better get out of danger." said the
sumo man who had spoken before.
Philip for answer throw ono arm
about Mr. Winter, saying: "If you kill
him, you will kill me with him. You
shall never do this great sin against an
Innocent man. In the name of God, I
call on every soul here to"
But his words were drowned In the
noise that followed. The mob was in
sane with fury. Twice Mr. Winter
was dragged off his feet by those down
on the walk; twice Philip raised blm

sure that If tho

over the wretch
l.o and Mr. Win-
ter were struck again and again
clotlies were torn Into tntton
Their
Mr.
Winter whs faint and reeling. Only
his greni terror made his dutch on
Philip like that of a drowning man.
At Inst the crowd had dragged the
two outside the gale into the slroet.
Here they paused awhile, and Philip
again -poke to the mob.
"Men. made in God's Image, listen to
me! Oo not take innocent life. if. von
kill blm, you kill me also, for 1 will
never leave his side alive and I will
not permit such murder If 1 can pre
vent it."
"Kill them both the bloody coward
and the priest!" veiled a voice. "They
both belong to Ihe same church."
"Yes, hang 'em! Hang 'em both!" A
tempest of cries went up. Philip tow
ered Up like :t giant. In the light of
tile street lamp he looked out over the
great sen of passionate, brutal faces,
crazed with drink and riot, and a great
wave of compassionate feeling swept
over him. Those nearest never forgot
that look. It was Christlike in its
yearning love for lost children. His
lips moved in prayer.
And Just then the outer circle of tho
crowd teemed agitated, it had surged
up nearer the light with the evident In
tention of hanging the mill owner on
olio of Ihe crosspieces of u telegraph
pole near by. The rope had again been
thrown over his head. Philip stood
with one arm about Mr. Winter and
with tl tier stretched out In en
treaty, When he heard a pistol shot,
then another. The entire police de
partment had been summoned ami hud
finally arrived, There was n skirmish
ing rattle of shots. Hut the crowd bo
fan to scuiier in the neighborhood of
the police force. Then those nearer
I'hilip began lo run as best they could
away from the officers, Philip und the
mill owner were dragged along with
the rest In the growing confusion until.
Watching his opportunity. Philip pull
ed Mr. Winter behind one of the huge
poles by which the lights of the street
Were suspended.
Here, sheltered n little, hut struck by
many a blow. Philip managed to shield
with his own body the man who only
a little while before bad come into his
own house and called him a liar and
threatened to withdraw his church sup
port because of the preaching of
i 'hrisl's principles.
When finally the officers reached the
two men. Mr. Winter was nearly dead
from the fright. Philip was badly
bruised, but not seriously, and he help
i d Mr. Winter back to the house, while
u few of the police remained on guard
the rest of the night. It was while re
covering from the effcctl of th
is of the night s
attack that Philip liltl
by little learn-
ed of the facts that led up to the as
sault. There bad I n a growing feeling of
discontent In all the mills, mid it had
dually taken shape In the Ocean mill,
which was largely owmd and control
led by Mr. Winter. The discontent
arose from a in w scale of wages sub
mltted by the company, it was not
satisfactory to the men. and the after
noon of that evening on which Philip
bad gone down to the hall a commit
tee of the mill men had wailed on Mr.
Wlntf and after a long conference
had gone .away without getting any
Satisfaction. They could not agree on
the proposition made by the company
and by their own labor organisation.
Later in the day one of the committee,
under Instructions, weut to see Mr.
Winter alone and came away from
the interview very much excited and
angry. He spent the tirst part of the
evening in n saloon, where he related
fi
a pnrt of bis interview with tho mill i f!U.t tlmt lt wa8 tne wor8t possible scn
OWner, and snid that he had finally 8on ot tne .,,nl. for such notion and In
kicked him out of tho olllce. Still later ! s,ltG of t)le fnct tlmt ti,0 difference do
in the evening he told several of the ,nanded by the men was a trifle corn
men that ho was going to see Mr. Win- ,)arej wItn their loss of wages the very
ter again, knowing that on certain
evenings ho was in the habit of stay
lug down ut the mill office until nearly
hn!f past '. for spool"' business. The
mills were undergoing repairs, and
Mr. Winter was away from home
more than usual.
That was the last that any one saw
of the man until, about 10 o'clock,
some one going home past the mill
office heard a man groaning at the foot
of a new excavation at the end of the
building and climbing down discover
ed tho man who had been to see Mr. j
Winter twice that afternoon. Ho hud
a terrible gash In his head and lived
only a few minutes after ho was dis
covered. To tho half dozen men who
stood over bin In tho saloon, where ho
hud been carried, he had murmured
the name of "Mr. Winter" und had
then expired.
A very little adds fuel to the brain of
men already heated with rum und ha
tred. The rumor spread like lightning
that the wealthy mill owuor bad killed
one of the employees who hud gone to
see him peaceably anil arrange mutters
for the men. Ho had thrown hliu out
of the office Into one of tho new mill
excavations and loft hi in there to die
like a dog In a ditch. So the story run
all through the tenement district, and
In an Incredibly swift time the worst
elements In Milton were surging to
ward Mr. Winter's house with murder
In their hearts and the means of accom
plishing It in their hands.
Mr. Winter bad finished his work at
the office und gone home to sit down to
a late lunch, as his custom was. when
ho was Interrupted by the mob. The
rest of tho incident is connected with
what has been told. The crowd seized
him with little ceremony, and it was
only Philip's timely arrival and his
saving f minutes until the police ar
rived that prevented a lynching in
Milton that night. As it was Mr. Win
ter received a scare fioin which it
toek a long time to recover. Ho dread
ed to go out alone at night, He kept
on guard u special watchman and lived
In more or less terror even then. It
was satisfactorily proved In a few
days tha: the man who hud gone to
see Mr. Winter bad never reached the
otMoo door; but. coming around the
corner of the building where the now
work was being done, be had fallen oil'
the stonework, striking on a rock in
such a way as to produce a fatal
wound. This tempered the feeling of
the workmen toward Mr. Winter, but
a widespread unrest and discontent
had seised on every man employed In
the mills, and as the winter drew on
affairs reached a crisis.
The difference between the mills and
the men over the scale of wages could
oof bo settled. The men began to tall;
sbout a strike. Philip beard of it and
at once, with Ids usual frankness and
boldness, spoke with downright plain
ness lo the men nuainsl it. That was
ut the little hull n week after the at
tempt on Mr. Winter's life. Philip's
part In that night's event had added to
his reputation and his pi Hilarity with
the men. They admired bis courage
and his grit. Most of them were
ashamed of the whole affair, especially
after they had sobered down and it
had been proved that Mr. Winter had
not touched the man. So Philip was
welcomed with applause us be came
out on the little platform und looked
over the crowded room, seeing many
faces there that had glared at him In
the mob a week before. And yet his
heart told blm bo loved these men. and
his reason told blm that It was tho
sinner and the unconverted that Cod
loved. It was a terrible responsibility
to have such men count him popular,
and be prayed that wisdom might be
given blm In the approaching crisis, es
pecially us he seemed to have some
real Inllueuce.
He had not spoken ten words w hen
some one by the door cried : "Come out
side! Pig crowd out here want to get
In." It was moonlight and not very
cold, so every one moved out of the
ball, and Philip mounted the stops of a
storehouse near by and spoke to a
crowd that filled up the street In front
and for a long distance right and left.
His speech was very brief, hut it was
fortified with telling figures, and at the
close he stood and answered ll perfect
torrent of questions. His main counsel
was against u strike In the present sit
uation. He had made himself familiar
with the facts on both sides. Strikes,
ho argued, except in very rare cases,
were demoralizing - an unhealthy, dis
astrous method of getting justice done.
"Why, just look at that strike in
Preston, England, among the cotton
spinners. There were only 000 opera
tives, hut that strike, before it ended,
threw out of employment over ".sun
weavers und other workmen who had
nothing whatever to do with the quar
rel of the iHi'i men. In the recent strike

England between 1870 and 1880 101
were lost by the strikers, 71 Were
gained und Dl compromised, but In the
strikes that were successful It took sev
eral years to regain In wages the
amount lost by the enforced Idleness
of the men."
There were enough hard thinking,
sensible men in the audience that night
to sec tho force of his argument. The
majority, however, were in favor of a
general strike to gain their point in
regard to the scale of wages. When
Philip wont homo, ho carried with blm
the conviction that a general strike In
the mills was nendinc. In spite of tin
ing t day of idleness, there was a deter
mination among the loaders that the
15,000 men In the mills should all go
out In the course of a few days If the
demands of the men In the Ocean mill
were not granted.
What was the surprise of every one
In Milton, therefore, the very next day
wben It was announced that every mill
In the great system had shut down
and not a man of the 15.000 laborers
who marched to the buildings in the
ajrjy jray ot the winter morning found
entrance! Statements were posted up
on the doors that the mills were shut
down until further notice. The mill
owners had stolen a march on the em
ployees, and the big strike was ou: but
It had boon started by capital, not by
labor, and labor went to its tenement
or congregated In the saloon, sullen
and gloomy, and as days went by and
ihe mills showed no signs of opening
the great army of the unemployed
walked the streets of Milton In grow
ing discontent and fast accumulating
debt and poverty.
Meanwhile the trial of the man ar
rested for shooting 1'hlllp came on, aud
Philip and his wife both appeared as
wltuesses in the case. The man was
convicted and sentenced to 15 years'
Imprisonment It has nothing special
to do with the history of Philip 8trong,
but may bo of Interest to the reader to
know that In two years' time he was
pardoned out and returned to Milton to
opou his old saloon, whore ho actually
told more than once the story of his at
tempt on the preacher's life.
There came also during those stormy
times in Milton the trial of several of
the men who wore arrested for the as
sault on Mr. Winter. Philip was also
summoned ns a witness in these cases.
As always, he frankly testified to what
he know and saw. Several of the ac
cused were convicted and sentenced to
short terms. But the mill owner, prob
ably fearing revenge on the part of tho
men. did nol push tho matter, and
most of the cases weut by default for
lack of prosecution.
Mr. Winter's manner toward Philip
underwent a change after that memo
rable evening when the minister stood
by blm at the peril of his own life.
There was a feeling of genuine re
hpect. mingled With fear, in his de
portment toward Philip. To say that
they were warm friends would be say
Ing too much. Men as widely different
as the minister and the wealthy mill
man do not come together on that
sacred ground of friendship, even when
one is indebted to the other for his
life. A man may save another from
hanging and still be unable to save
him from selfishness. And Mr. Winter
went his way und Philip went his on
a different basis, so far as common
greeting wont, but no nearer In I'ae
ronl thing, which makes heart to bean
communion impossible. For the time
being Mr. Winter's hostility was sub
merged under bis indebtedness to Phil
ip. He returned to his own place in
tho church and contributed to the
financial support
CHAPTEH X.
One day nr the close of a month
Philip came Into the cozy parsonage,
and instead of going right up to his
study, as bis habit was when his out
side work was done for the day, he
threw himself down ou u couch by the
open fire. His wife was ut work in
the other room, but she came In, and,
seeing him lyiug there, Inquired what
was the matter. " -
"Nothing, Sarah, with mo. Only
I'm sick at heart with the sight and
knowledge of all this wicked town's
sin and misery."
"Ho you have to curry lt all on your
shoulders, Philip?"
"Yes," replied Philip almost fiercely,
lt was not that either. Only his reply
was like a great sob of conviction that
be must bear something of those bur
dens. Ho could not help it.
Mrs. Strong did not say anything for
a moment Then she naked:
"Don't you think you take it too seri
ously, Philip?"
"What?"
"Other people's wrongs. You are
not responsible."
"Am I uot? I am my brother's keep
er. What quantity of guilt may I not
carry into the eternal kingdom If I
do not do what I cau to save blm! Oh,
how can men be so selfish? Yet I am
only one person. I cannot prevent all
this suffering alone."
"Of course you cannot, I'hilip. You
wrong yourself to take yourself to
tusk so severely for the sius of others.
But what bus stirred you up so this
time?" Mrs. Strong understood Philip
well enough to know that some partic
ular case had roused his feeling. He
seldom yielded to such despondency
without sonic Immediate practical rea
son. Philip sat up on the couch und clasp
ed his bunds over his knee with the
eager earnestness that characterized
him when ho was roused.
"Sarah, this town slumbers ou the
smoking crest of n volcano. There are
more than 15,000 people here in Milton
out of work, a great many of them
are honest, temperate i pie w ho have
saved up a little. Bui it is m arly gone.
The mills are shut down and. on the
authority of mi u thai ought to lalow,
shut down for all winter. The same
condition of affairs Is true in u more or
less degree ill the entire state and
throughout the country and even the
world. People are suffering today in
this town for food and clothing and
fuel through no fault of their own.
The same thing is true of thousands
nud even hundreds of thousands all
over the world. It is an ago that calls
for heroes, martyrs, servants, saviors.
Aud right here in this towu, where dis
tress walks the streets aud actual want
already has its clutch on many a poor
devil, society goes on giving Its ex
pensive parties und living In Its little
round of selfish pleasure Just as If the
volcano was a dowuy little bed of roses
for it to go to sloop in whenever it
wearies of the pleasure and wishes to
retire to nappy dreams. Oh, but the
bubble will burst one of these days,
and then"
Philip swept bis hsnd upward with a
fine gesture and sank back upon the
couch, groaning.
"Don't you exaggerate?" The min
ister's wife put the question gently.
"Not a bit! Not a bit! All true. I
am not one of the French revolution
fellows, always lugging in blood and
destruction and prophesying ruin to
the nation and the world it It doesn't
