you that I am right"
Bravton shook his bead. "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.

rupted Drayton, rising from his ctmlr
and starting toward tho door. "You

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

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."

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

ye'd earned ns boss. I s'posc It's all

"Yes," quietly, "the money part Is all

"Blliv Brooks." contemptuously
"That man 'II wear out an' drop down

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

"Ob, we don't want any pay yet it

man sullenly. "But it's been three

"Stoo right there," requested Long
more, with a sudden ring la bis voice,
"Mr. Brooks w'lll be your foreman aft

"Foreman!" angrily, "Billy Brooks!"
Whv. be don't know any more about

"Perhaps, but Mr, Brooks seems to

loaned capital growing smaller aud
smaller, until at last be began to dis
charge the more shiftless of the men.
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. Perhaps tt
was In tho ore, perhaps lit tno rurnace,
possibly somewhere else, only be had
missed It. and yet tho secret wns hov

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

Longmore swung round and grasped
bis band.
"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

break. I shall work In the office to-
nlffht but after this will sleep."
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

, "They're already at hand, sir, men
on whom I can depend aud who will

"Good! That's the kind we want.
Now let's go to the office and consider
plans for the increase, Wby," ex
plosively, "it's a fortune and tho most
unbelievable thing I over beard of.
Then we'll run up home and see HiJen.
