When Day
Is Done.
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.
