By IV. F. BRYAN. Copytlehted, 190S, by M. M.Cunnlnghwn. Somewhere at the other end of the room a gong clanged out Its harsh, brazen note, and soon the hum ot u dustry and the clatter of machinery gave way to the chatter ot tongues as the operatives shut off the power from their machines. As they gathered about the inspec tlon desk to turn In their day's work the great shafts overhead ceased their whirring and the sharp tune they had Rung all day ended in a descending scale as the momentum died out. The day's work was done. Now the girls were hurrylug toward the wash room, a screened compart ment, supplied with an Iron sink cakes of yellow soap cut to convenient size and a few roller towels of coarse cotton cloth. There was room for but a doien at the sink, and, urged by the waiting line, the girls cut the ablu tlons scant and perfunctory. When they bad changed their work lng clothes for cheap and garish street "IB IT BEALLT YOU, 7ACK V SHI ASKED WONDKBISQLY. finery they descended in the elevator to the street, where the men employees were waiting for the favored few. Ida Clark hurriedly rinsed her hands and slipped on her worn, dark skirt and frayed Jacket. It was growing too warm for a coat but she could not af ford a new waist Just now, and there were patches in the elbows of the old one. The Jacket was at least whole save on the edges, which now defied further binding. For more than a year she had fol lowed the regular factory routine, yet she had never become accustomed to this rush and turmoil of the streets when the mountainous buildings sud denly disgorged their hordes of work ers into the narrow canyons below. The hurrying armies, fighting their way east, west, north and south, terri fied her, and as she found herself caught in the tide bound for her home she gave a little sigh of relief. It would be all right until the corner was reached, when the cross current of humanity again would be encountered, She still dreaded the impact of the hu man tide. She thought of the quiet country lanes of home and how the sun was now -slanting across the fields, Just turning green under the warming sun. Hers had been great hopes when she had left the country for the city. She had planned to study shorthand and typewriting while she supported her self at lighter clerical work. But there had been no office vacancies, and her fast vanishing funds had forced her to have recourse to the factory, where her back was soon wrenched and strained and her fingers twisted and tired from handling the heavy material she forced through the speeding ma chines. It was vastly different from the ma chine sewing at home, for the factory exacted the utmost work from each machine, human or iron, while a sharp eyed forewoman prowled up and down the aisle ready to pounce upon any one who faltered. Ida's hands were too stiff to hold a pencil after the day's work was done, and the dreams of advancement had to be forgotten in ttf necessity of the moment; but, though her muscles ached and her eyes seemed to burn In their sockets, she would not give up. She would not go back to Carsonville and confess failure. She blushed as she thought of what going back meant. She had come to the city because Jack Deerlng bad scoffed at the idea of her Earning her own way. Some unfortunate twist of his words had given Ida the belief that he of fered himself only because she was left alone in the world, because of pity for her condition. She was too proud to admit her love when be did not con fess his own affection. Deering, looking only on the practi cal, side of the matter, had never dreamed that he had been refused be cause of her belief that he did not love her. He had supposed that of course she knew how dearly be cared for her, and ho had not thought it necessary to tell the oft told tale. So he bad al lowed her to go. Ida had not lost her fresh coloring In spite of ber hardships, and to the fear of the great masse of menjmd women homeward bound was added the dread of an encounter with one of the human brutes who presume their attentions will be welxraie to factory girls becauso they dress well. More than once she had felt a band placed familiarly upon hor arm or bud hurried ou to escapo the running fire of talk from a mnu who Imd droppod luto step beside hor and had jwi-slstod until a policeman came la sight Tonight Ida was frankly homesick. There was something lu tho breath of spring, tainted though it was ly the reck of pavements and the noisome smoke of tho city. Pack In the old days, when home was a home mid not a hole in tho wall, when she trod preen earth aud not the hard stoues of tho pavement, this was tho hour she liked tho best, when the day was done nud tho evening shad ows changed Into tho purple night It was not often that Ida let herself get homesick, for those who would work by day must not cry all the night but with this subtle suggestion of home in the air and lu tho sky the tears welled Into her eyes. The dreaded crossing, with its roar of traffic aud Its rush of humanity, was passed successfully, and Ida did not notice that a man turned out of the counter current and hurried after her as rapidly as he wns able. Not until a hand closed upon ber arm did she realize that she had been followed. She wrenched herself loose and hurried ahead, but a second time the baud fell upon her-arm, and she turned with a little cry. "Please let me go," she said, while the tears blinded her eyes. "Not much," was tho triumphant an swer. "I've spent too much time look ing for you to let you go now that I have fouud you." With a quick movement of her hand Ida dashed the tears from her eyes and looked up Into the laughing face. It was not a handsome face. The sun bad burned the skin to a deep brown, and the brow was w rlukled by lines of care, while the high cheek bones and the hollows of the cheeks gave to the face a ruggeduess redeemed only by the kindly smile of the sensitive mouth and the twinkle In the clear gray eyes, but to Ida It was the face in all the world she most desired to see. "Is It really you. Jack," she asked aronderlngly, "or is it some dream?" "I guess It's me, unless I've been changed in the last half hour," de clared Peering as lie smiled down into the upturned face and his eyes filled with pity as he noted the signs of care that marked it. "I've been looking all over for you. You never wrote back home, and I Just couldn't stand it any longer. I left Jethro to do the plowing and planting, and I came down to look for you. It was a hard Job, but I found you." "And now that you've seen me I sup pose that you'll lie content and go back to the planting," suggested Ida. "If you'll come with me," agreed Deerlng. "If you won't, I'll settle down here, for I love you too much, dear, to let you run nway from me again." "You love me?" she asked wonder l"gly. "Of course," was the prompt re sponse. "There Isn t a man, woman or child in Carsonville that doesn't know that." "You never told me," she reminded. 'You wanted to marry me because I needed some one to take care of me." "Did I have to tell you that?" be asked In astonishment. "1 supposed jou knew.", 'A woman likes to be told," explain ed Ida. '"The next time you ask n woman to marry you begin by telling her that you love her. not by explain ing that you want to keep her out of (he iiooriion.se." I love you." sdld Deerlng promptly. "Now will you marry me? We can bo married tonight and stan for home by tho midnight train. That will got lis In tomorrow J;:t as the d:iy U dune." "As the d;y Is done?" sighed Ida lupplly.
