"I can un derstand your enthusiasm, Longmore," be answered. "I was that way at your age, but iron is a plain, hard, practi cal business, and this Is your first command, so to speak." He looked at his watch once more. "Twenty min utes to train time. Snppose we walk back to the office and wait until we bear the whistle. Of course I shall trv to sell but frankly I do not ex pect to find either customers or les sees. I would be glad to lease for a nominal sum, though, Just to Lave somebody here; but, of course, no one would care to operate tho furnace at a loss." "If I could" began Longmore. Then he stopped abruptly. He was going to say if be could raise the money, but he could not so what was the use of thinking about It? He added instead, "If I could have charge here, there would be a profit inside of three months." Brayton's eyes twinkled, and an odd look came into thera. "You'd like to take the plant your self if you had the money," he said ab ruptly. "How much would you require to carry the furnace on to what yon believe would be expense making! If I lent yon 110,000, would it be fluf. flcientr .......... 1 I.oniriiiot'e was on hi feet his eves wkio and looking grotesque in tlwlr rims of Iron Mack. v i "You dmt't mean this, Mr. llraytou," be gasped. "1 have no meaus, tto curlty, not cum my college expenses paid yet. Then thoro's" "I've scou your worn," cooiiy, "nnu am ready to lend you tho money until the 1st of January, vnloss you unng tho output t a profit by that time, however, 1 will try to sell. ik you waut it?" "Of course, If you're willing, tllOUBU'r "Tbcro's tho train whistle." inter rupted Drayton, rising from his ctmlr and starting toward tho door. "You way draw ou me for the money as you need It up to $10,000, no more. And er," as the train .curved lu sight around a hill and slowed toward the hlntform. "remember our compact There's to be no correspondence what ever between you and Uoleu nntll you are fully able to support a wire." Ixtniituore watched him board the train with conflicting emotions, then went back to the ottlce. First ho wrote to Mr. Itrayton, offering him one-half of the profits aft er bo hod tirouk'ht tho furnace to a paying basis, In the meantime Incur ring all expenses of running wotk am Improvements himself. That dune, he called tho men and made thorn ac quainted with the chaujjo. "Mr. llrayton had arranged for yon to leave Saturday night," he said, "and to stop work altogether. However, I am boIiir to run the furnace myseir awhile experimentally, but will close the foundry. I shall require only fifty men, and they must be willing to work bard and swept lone hours. Wo wltl begtu st daylight Instead of at T, as wo have lHeu doing, and will have oue hour fur tho noon meal and rest and then work uutll dark, but 1 will pay you $3 lustead of tho 12 you have been rocetvlne. It will be hard work. of course, but I will nsk no one to work any harder than I do myself, and I will odd that I do not want nuy except trustworthy men who will do as well by me when I am absent as when 1 nm with them. Those who feel they can meet these condltlous and are willing to work for me may step forward." Rpvornl of tho more cnerxetlc men were talktnit anions themselves Loncmoro's eros sweut over them nnd over tho rest of tho group, slugllng out a face here and there that he thoucht looked nromlslna. Presently ho went among them, with a few ear nest, nereuuslvo words here and there and In tho end he hired fifty men who nroralsed to work as he desired. Monday morning he and two of the men descended Into tho furnace to make somo changes. When they came out Longmore went to the mine to see how the work of getting out ore wns nrocrresslnn. As he approached tho mouth of tho mine he listened for tue sounas 01 work, but could only bear the regular strokes of a single pick. Then as bo turned a spur he saw the reason Throw of iho men were Irlns on the srround In front of the opening, PPr etitly asleep; two were tossing pebble at each other, aud tho rest were lym about In various attitude of ease. "Got the furnace Job done?" asked a stalwart young fellow as no rose yawning. "Yes. Why are you not at work?" "Got tired an' thought we'd rest n mien. 'Sides, one of the men 'lowed there wa'n't much show for our get tlu paid nn' that ye bad only what ye'd earned ns boss. I s'posc It's all right, though," lazily, "an' if ye say 'tis we'll start In ag'lu after we lie HDCII." "Yes," quietly, "the money part Is all riuht Who Is that working in me nilue?" "Blliv Brooks." contemptuously "That man 'II wear out an' drop down dead 'fore he knows, att' nobody 'll lie to blnmo 'cept himself an' mebbe tho man who drives him on to sucu worn The fetlow's a crank an' don't know any more'n to do Jest what he's told an' "- But Longmore hnd passed on. Ten minutes luter ho came back. The men were stretching themselves nrenaratory to resuming work. "Now you can onie to the office and get your pay," ho Bald briskly. "There will bo less than half a day coming to iou. for Brooks snys you rested two hours or more this forenoon and that you have been here about two hours now. I shall pay you for Just tho time vou work." ' "Ob, we don't want any pay yet it It's all right," answered the young man sullenly. "But it's been three auartcrs of a day. Folks have to rest, nn' if iililv , Brooks don't look out he'll" .- i-s ' ' i- "Stoo right there," requested Long more, with a sudden ring la bis voice, "Mr. Brooks w'lll be your foreman aft er this, in my absence, and will keep an exact account of the time yon work." "Foreman!" angrily, "Billy Brooks!" Whv. be don't know any more about mlnlu' than I do. I'd make a better foreman any day." , . "Perhaps, but Mr, Brooks seems to have been the only man faithful to my Interests so far, and he will be my foreman, with an advance in wages.

At the end of November bis working force bad dwindled to ten men and himself and his money to less than 1100, During the last few week! but little time hnd been given to sioep. Through tho day bo worked with tho uion-sllotit, watchful, uutlrlng-and most of the nuihts were given to study aud tho devising of new experiments. Something was lacking, some little point which he had missed.

They were all hard worklmr and tried to meet bis wishes. and In a way they were beginning to uuderatnnd that be was passiug through 0 crisis of bis life. One even luff after an unusually hsrd day, as Longmore almost staggered toward his office, Brooks followed bliu, laying a dettttutng hand upon bis shoulder, "IjviU here. Mr. Longmore." he said snxloualv. "you iust leave that office aloue tonight au' go Into your room to bed. You're runnln' yourself out An' -an'," besltatlug a little, "If you don't mind, me an' tho men have teu In' about you some lately.

"Thank rou for this. Mr. Brooks," he exclaimed, his eyes moistening. 'Tou don't know how I appreciate it Just now. Tull the men so. But I shall not take advantage of your friendship. It has been something of a strain with me lately. I don't mind admitting that' but another day or two will docldo tbo( matter one way or the other.

The next morning he waa on the lit tle tilatfonn when tho train came and took his package straight to tho office. Soon after ho went to the mouth of tho furnace, where the men were throwing in ore. tho narkaao under his arm. All day ho worked there with them, fever ishly, but tho next day when be went below to watch the result, when the molten Iron was released, be was calm. But as ho watched a strange light began to glow In his eyes. As soon as the bars wore sufficiently cool he took several of them to tho station plat form, addressing them to Mr. Bray ton. Then be went to the office and wrote a long letter, and it lacked but two days of the year's end. The 1st of January the letter was answered by Brnvton in Person. His face seomod unusually excited as ho swung to tho platform even before the train stopped. "Are those bars fair samples?" be demanded, ' . , "Yes, sir" "Woll, well, well I I'd nevor have belloved it never lu this world. They're tho finest I . ever saw and mean a fortune. But I can't accept your proposition, Longmore, to take over the plant with you again as fore man. . No, not " We'll run it half and half, my capital against your discov ery and services.
