The door opened and slammed.
“Mornin’, boss.” )
The loud voice heralded swaggering
steps. The- jaunty tone, the turnip-
like odor of bad whisky, caused his
employer to wheel from his desk and
glance sharply at the face toughened
and inflamed by recent hard drinking.
“So it's you.”
“Yep! I've come back.” His forced
air belied his bravado. “Mr. Jackson,
I've come back to draw what's comin’
to me.”
His eyes fell before his employer's
steady gaze.
“Bar’bry,” he began, not unkindly,
“this won't do.”
He toyed with his morning's mail,
his habit when pondering what to say.
The workman jerked off his hat.
“I want you to go home now and
straighten up. Get yourself ready to
come out Monday.”
“It’s no use. We can't.” The dog-
gedness of the answer went home to
Jackson with a strange hurt. He
turned from the look in Bar’bry’s face.
It is never easy to face failure in hu-
man guise. This time the strength of
is “we” prevailed to pull him down
a little in the other’s fall.
“I can’t. I've tried to make a man
of myself, and can’t. You'd best let
me go.” .
“No. Go home now. You're in no
condition for work. But I want to see
You out Monday. I'll have John put
you on those flange-fires again.” The
thought of delayed work wrinkled the
business man’s brow into a frown.
“Why can’t you let the stuff alone?”
“I can’t. I've tried it and failed.”
The knuckles of his huge hand
stood out white as he gripped his rusty
glouch hat.
“You can, if you fight for it. You
will never find a better place to try,
Bar’bry. My boys are as clean a set
of fellows as you'll find in the coun-
try.”
“Yes, the fellers are all right. I
ain’t got anything again’ Johnnie,
neither, nor you, Mr. Jackson. You've
used me square.”
“Then use me square now, Bar’bry.
You know I need you. We're back on
our orders.”
The distant clatter of a cteam-rivet-
er broke the monotonous creak of ma-
chinery.
“Come! Brace up, Pat! Don’t give
up yet. You work along pretty stead-

must try again.”
“If things was different at home,”
he muttered. :
Jackson knew about that quick-
tempered, shrill-tongued wife whose
overtrying to manage well resulted in
a pitiful nagging. He knew, too, that
some things go unsaid.
“Bar’bry, be a man.”
“ll try, sir.” 2
The man rose in favor with his fel-
ows; leaned on the handle of .is
sledge, and shook in a deep-chested
laugh as he joked with young Dick,
his helper, and the others. They
yielded him the precedence physical
prowess corpmands among the unlet-
tered. To the men of neighboring
works they boasted of his biceps.
They also liked his unassuming ways.
Perhaps, too, the prize ring, from
which he came, was reflected in a cer-
tain halo around his head. Somehow,
they never cared to question him
about his skill with the gloves. Once
Johnnie, by virtue’ of his superior po-
sition as foreman and his meager size,
dared to probe ever so little. The
fellow shook his head, said the ring
was rough on a man, and brought his
sledge down with bangs that drove
even - Johnnie into retreat.
When bits of his roaring laughter
no longer accented the rhythm of the
machines, when his face grew stern,
drawn, a hunted look creeping into
his eyes, the fight was on. His blows
rose and fell in new fierceness: could
he have beaten out under them the
f

thirst that raged within, he would
have conquered.
His creed embraced only one way to
meet an enemy—to stand dp to aim
in the ring. He shook off the little

from the saloon. That was not

THE MEYERSDALE COMMERCIAL
But sometimes, when a lad was be-
ing drawn in too far, it was as if he
detected unfair play in the combina~
tion of good cheer and light warmth
which the saloon pitted against a
dingy, fifth-rate room, lonesomeress,
and only a lad’s power of resistance.
He undertook to ‘restrain young
Dick Piney, his helper; to reinforce
his faint refusal to that most success-
ful “continuous chain” ever devised,
“My treat now.” Bar’bry himself re-
vived under that more tangible aspect
of the fight.
One cold, crisp night he arrived late
to find, off in a corner of the saloon,
the lad a slumpy heap, muttering
over and over:
“See dem lights im the tubes.”
The firm heard afterward how Bar'-
bry shook him into partial rousing.
The barkeepers, noting his huge, ges-
ticulating fists, had not cared to in-
terfere when he started down the
track toward the boy's lodgings.
Dick, white and sick, stumbled
along, begged with returning con-
sciousness to be allowed to sink down,
but held fast to a bottle still nearly
full. They know that Bar’bry must
have walked him up and down the
track until there was no more danger
from the heavy Stupor.
The boy himself remembered that
finally the bottle dropped from his
fingers; and he recalled that the man,
bending over him in his barren room,
turned away with a fierce, “Lord, boy,
it’s hell.” The tight-leashed snarl in
the last word partially sobered him,
and came back to ‘bim in critical
hours.
As for Bar’bry, they know only that
he fled with that cry on his lips wrung
in torture by the fumes of liquor with
which the boy’s hot breath filled the
stuffy little roonf; that he appeared at
the saloon with an empty bottle in
his hand and a craze for more.
They think they know how, retrac-
ing his steps, he must have come upon
the bottle dropped from the boy's
limp hand. There, as he stood alone,
in the waste of snow, mocked by the
lines of steel that rushed past him in
chill indifference, lured by the lights
of the saloon up the track, his enemy
dealt him a deadly blow for whose
insidiousness he had no parry.
You have noticed some spot where
machines stand motionless and the
boards are strewh with saws, chisels,
hammers, gloves stiff to the shape of
the hands from which they fell when
the whistle blew “time up?”
You have found, perhaps, that a
slender rope still swayed with an
echo of their activity?
It was so with Bar’bry. He never
came back. His wife disappeared in
search of him. The firm, Mary's own,
understood it as man for man, and
challenged not the divine balance; but
in the vineyard of Martha they have
evolved that curiously virile creed, re-
flected in Bar’bry’s ring, which reads
“man to man.” Dick rejected the
sacrifice. In less than a year he left,
saying, “No man is my price. I'll git
him, or I'li—"

full, humdrum roar one marked un-
consciously the part of each machine.
The junior partner felt an instine-

was lacking—Bar’bry’s deep-chested
laugh.
“It’s a hard world, little girl, and
don’t you wish you had as few years
left in which to get knocked out as I
have?” ;
Out of the silent past a slender cord
still quivered, for he was thinking of
that lump of sodden and breaking
manhood, and wondered if the forces
that made his “ring” had been “rough
on a man?’

Harrisburg, Pa.—People connected
with the fiscal department of the state
government are much interested in
the approaching test of the right in-
terest of the auditor general's depart-
ment to sue for unclaimed bank de-
posits, which has been brought about
through the determination of the Dol-
lar Savings Bank of Pittsburgh to
fight the case through the courts. The
trial will bring up the question square-
ly for determination and will be fol-
lowed with interest. The bank con-
tends that the auditor general has no
authority to bring the action as was
done, and that much of the money
claimed was, in reality, drawn from
the bank some years ago, before the
lapse of 30 years. It is declared that
there is no law on the subject which

(By F. G. HERMAN.)
If there is one item above another
having great importance in the winter-

winter stores near and about the clus-
ter of bees in time for them to settle
down into that quiescent state so con-
ducive to good wintering, prior to the
middle of October, in the more north-
ern localities.

and seal them, requires warm weather

there is only one certain way to do.
and that is to open the hives and take
out each frame.
If, after going over a hive and
weighing each comb, I find that there
is 25 pounds of actual stores, I call
that hive or colony all right for win-
ter. If less it must be fed the defi-
ciency; if more, it can spare some to
help another colony which is lacking
in the amount. In this way the whole
apiary should be gone over.
Colonies left on the summer stand
require anywhere from 20 to 30 pounds
of good food for successful wintering.
A little in excess of this will do no
harm, but on the contrary will stimu-
late the colony in building up faster
{in the following spring.
| If one has on hand some sealed
| combs of honey, a few of them can be
| distributed among the light colonies,
| but in the absence of these it will be
| necessary to feed liquid honey or a
{ Birup made of sugar and water.
Do not think of using anything but
the best granulated sugar. When bees
can fly all the time, you can ‘safely
feed them anything. But when they
cannot fly, there is nothing better than
sealed honey. When you cannot have
that use a sirup of granulated sugar.
If the feeding can be attended to
while the weather is still warm, the
sirup may not be quite so thick, say
about 2 pounds of sugar to one pint
of water, which will make 3 pounds of
sirup.
If the feeding is deferred until cool
weather has set in, the sirup will, of
necessity, have to be a somewhat
thicker consistency, for the bees will
not be able to evaporate the super-
fluous water out of it.
In making the sugar-sirup be care-
ful not to burn it while boiling. In
just
fact it need not be boiled at all:
pour the boiling water over the sugar
and stir until thoroughly dissolved:
when cool it is ready to give to the |
bees,
{ mulch to the celery.
It is claimed by some beekeepers
that if a few tablespoonfuls of extract-|
ed honey are added to’ the sugar sirup
it will prevent it granulating in thei
comb, but there is little danger of|
this anyway. If there are weak lots]
just unite two or more together, re-i
moving the least valuable queen. '
The bees of two lots may be united
peaceably by sprinkling them thinly!
with sugar sirup flavored with pepper-
mint, and then placing the frames
with adhering bees alternately in a
fresh hive. The stronger the colony
and the bees the less is the honey
consumed.
This appears strange, but it is quite
true; a small lot of bees in -a hive
containing several combs are restless,
with the consequence that they cen-
sume honey to raise the temperature
lowered by the cool air surrounding
them.
The food supply may be ample
owing to a particularly favorable sea-
son after the supers have been re-
moved, but even if feeding has te be
resorted to, very little time will be
needed to perform this part of the
work. . :
In order to obtain young bees for
wintering, a supply of sugar, given at
the close of the honey flow, will preb-
ably be all that is necessary to com-
tinue breeding up to the middle ef!
September, when whatever further
supply is needed to make the colomy
safe for winter can be given in the
form of sirup.
VETCH IS IMPORTANT cop
Its More General Growth Would Ald
Materially in Live Stock indus-
try—Aiso Improves Soil.
(By A. SMITH.)
Vetch should occupy an importamt
place in the agriculture of those states
where it can be raised with success.
In four years’ comparisons on ever
800 fields, vetch has consistently made
heavier growths and greater yields
than ®crimson clover, red clover, or
bur clover, although under favorable
conditions these .have done well.
Vetch is high in protein content, is
a good hay, pasture, and soiling crep,
and its more general growth would
aid in the development of the live
stock industry and remove much ef
the existing necessity for buying hay.
Vetch is used as a cover crop to pre-
‘vent the leaching and washing of seils.
Like all legumes, it improves land by

adding nitrogen and organic matter
to the soils. As it grows through the
winter and spring and may be her
vested in time to plant corn or cow-
peas on the same land, it should be
used in building up impoverished seils
and in maintaining the productivity
of the land. The vetch crop does met
require horse or man labor at amy
time when this is needed for the cew-
pea crop, except possibly at the har
vest time of cowpea hay.
