Newspaper Page TextPLUCK. By Laura E. Richard. , .....,.,. 1 1 (TTucm Ult Y.x.Wi Oor.i.n.i. kaprlalMlb? l. n.l. rermualu.) ' "WES," said the Ironmiurter, "first J honesty, and then pluck those Bre me things needful, tipeak ing of pluck--" fie utopped to answer tlie summons of the telephone, said "Yes," anil "No," by turns for five minutes, and then resumed: ".Siieukinf? of pluck, as you were do Inff just now, reminds me of a story, the beginriinif audi end of which is that one Kurd." We settled ourselves In our chaira. We were sittinff in the office of the Iron works, and the air was full of the sound of jrreat hammers, crashing and pounding; of the sharp hiss of molten metal, and the clear ring of smitten steel. "I was sitting here In this very chair," the ironmaster be.-ran, "one day about seven years ago, or maybe eight. Time goes so fust I hardly try to keep count of it In these days. At any rate, here 1 was sitting) reading the newspaper, when there came a knock at the door. "Tome In!' I said; and in walked a atranger. lie was a young man, about 25 years old, dreshed like a gentleman, though his clothes had seen a good deal of service. Tall, with his head held up, and gray eyes that met mine fulr and Wiiure. "Awavs look first at a man's eyes, my boy! If lie looks you in the eye, he is worth trying. If his eyes shift about here and there, as if they didn't know where to look, or were afraid of seeing something they didn't like have nothing to do with him! That's my experience! "Well, this young man came up to my desk, and spoke without waiting for me; yet It wns no wnnt of man ners, for his manners were good. "'(lood. morning, sir!' lie sai!; and Ms voice had n clear ring to it that I liked. 'I want work. Can you give me any?' "I shook my head. We never took strangers in that way, and I don't recoin incnil the practice nt any time. "'.No, sir!' I said. 'We have no work here. Sorry I can't nccoiuinodute you.' I took up my paper again, and looked to see him go out wilhout more words, but he stood still, i must have work!' he said. 'I would try to give you satisfaction, sir, and 1 tell you I must have it!' "'My good sir,' I mid, putting the paier down, 'there Is no vacancy In the place. If you will give me your name and references, I will make a note of them, and some day when we do have a Job to dispone of I will re member you. That is tin best 1 can ilo for you to-dny,' "The young mini shook Ilia head. 'That won't do!' he said. Think again, sir. Surely In this great place there must be something n strong, willing ninn can ihi. It is useless to talk of waiting till a vacancy occurs. 1 must have work now, to-iuy! It is absolutely necessary!' "It wns on the tip of my tongue to tell him that it was absolutely neces sary for him to leave that olllce and shut the ikior after him; but I looked at him again, and didn't say it. "I suw that he was telling the truth, and that he must have work. It wnsu't that he looked shabby, or that there was any suspicion of whin ing or snivelling nlsuit him. If there had been, out he would have gone in pretty quick time. Hut there was a look In Ills eves-well, 1 hardly know how to describe it, but the man wns desperate, and hud some reason for being so, "'What kind of work do you wnnt?' I said, putting down the paper ngain "'Any kind.' " 'You menu that T "'I do. Anything that will put bread in the mouths of-' ho choked a little, nml stopped. Then, 'I came from Canada two days ago, with my wife and three children, and was ridibed in the train of my wallet. 1 have not a penny I' "'Collie with me!' I said. And he followed me out of the works. Ills story might be true, or It might not. but I liml thought of a viiiy to test the mutal of which he was made. "The Stark mill. In which I had some Interest, had been partly burned a few days before, und I had II gang at work, clearing nway the rubbish. A dirty job it was; the men were up to their waists half the time In mud and water, ami the whole place was a muddle of rusty iron anil burnt timbers ami what not- looked like the end of the world, nud the wrong end nt that. "The gang I had on were mostly It ahum It was too dirty work for a Yankee to touch, and even the Irish were shy of it. They were little, lark, monkey-looking fellows, work ing away, and rhiittering in their un earthly gibberish. I glanced from them to my gentleman, with his clear while skin, and hamk which showed that, whatever trnda he had worked at, clearing away wreckage hadn't 1 11 part of it though he looked like one who mii.rht hae taken a good deal of exercise 111 nllitetic sports. "'Here i 11 job!' I said. 'The only one I know of. Mow do you like it? "'Well ciiongh,' lie said, as cool as possible. " 'You'll get a dollar and a half a day.' I told bun. 'You'll get your death, loo, probably. When will you go to work '.' " '111 tin hour,' he said. V went, and I hardly exiu-.u hint a:ain.

"Well, I wint hack to the office. I couldn't be hangiiifr round watching1 the men. or the bo km would have been making trouble; but my new hand atayed on my mind, omeliow, and I strolled round by the wn-ek two or three times in the afternoon, making aome errand, you under ttnnd, in that direction. "That man wax working, sir, like & like a hointe afire. The Italian are good workers, none better, as a rule but hiM pick went In and out thne times for their twice, and there was no chattering In his corner of the hole. He had little breath to talk, if he had wanted to, for though he was a muftcmlar fellow, you could wo with half an eye that he had never done such work in Mm life before. "The sweat poured down hit, face like rain, but he never Htoited, nevtr looked up. or knew that 1 or anyone elne was near Just plodded uwny, awinging that pick as if there were nothing else In the world. "'That's pluck! said f to myself. If he doesn't die he'll do! "For all that, I thought he would give out after the first day didn't think his atrungth would Inm. When he crania in for his pay at night, he was shaky and pretty t irrddoofcing; but he said never a word; just took his pay with the rest, and thanked me, and went off. "The next morning I wan very busy, and although I thought of my gentleman once or twice, I didn't manage to get down to the wreck till noon, soon after the whistle had blown for knocking off work. "When I got there 1 saw the Itnllnus lying round on the ground or Kuatting on the fences, eating their black bread and RHtiHugic, and chattering awa.v us usual; but no sight of my gentleman In t lie lliinuel shirt. "'Oho! mi id I to myself. 'One day was eiiuugh for him, was it?' And I thought it would haw heeii enough for me, too. When you are not used to the swing of a pick, the way il takes you in the back is soon thing beyond belief. I turned to come away, and lot there he was, sitting otT in a cor ner by hiuiKelf, all crouched up, with a great hunch of bread in one hand and a book in the other. "I strolled up la-hind him and looked over his tdtouhler at the book. Jt was an Italian grammar, kIi! "My khailow falling on the book startled hltu, am! he looked up.
