"' "ard fence was ln front of cutting off'the yards from the aJ of the town. At his back was a freight car, back of that again were the Interlacing tracks and l- yond them a cornfield and Billup's Fork, with Its Inviting shade of syca mores and willows and Its tempting swimming boles. Suddenly he heard a scrambling on the opposite side of the fence, and ten brown fingers clutched the tops of the boards, then a battered Btrsw hat came on a level with the fingers, at the Bame Instant a bare foot and leg were thrown over the fonce, and the owner of the battered straw hat swung him self Into view. All this while a dog whined and yelped; then followed a vigorous scratching sound, and present ly a small, dilapidated looking yellow cur squeezed Itself beneath the fence. Clarence recognized the Intruders. It was Rranyon's boy, Augustus, com monly called "Splde," because of his exceeding sliinness and the length of his legs, and his dog 1'lnk. As soon ns Branyon's boy saw Clar ence lie balanced himself deftlv on the top of the fence with one hand and shaded his eyes elaborately with the other. An amiable. If toothless, smile curled his Hps. When he spoke It was with deep facetiousness. "Hi, come out from behind that roll of paper!" Hut Clarence said not a word. He pulled away at his cigarette, appar ently oblivious of everything save the contentment it gave him, and as he puffed Splde's mouth worked and wa tered sympathetically. His secret ad miration was tremendous. Here was Clarence in actual and undisturbed possession of a whole cigarette. He had to purchase his cigarettes ln part nership with some other boy and go halves on the smoking of them. It made him feel cheap and common. "Say, got one of them coffin tacks that ain't working?" he Inquired. CJar ence gazed off up the tracks. Ignoring the question and the questioner. Splde's presence was balm to his soul. But as one of tho office force of the Buekhorn and Antloch he felt a cer tain lofty reserve to be Incumbent up on him. Besides, be and Spide hud been engaged ln a recent rivalry for fiusle Poppleton's affections. It Is true be had achieved a brilliant success over his rival, but that a mere schoolboy should have ventured to oppose him, a salaried man, bad struck him as an unpardonable piece of Impertinence for which there could be no excuse. Splde, however, bad taken tlie mat ter most philosophically. He had rec ognized that he could not hope to com pete with a youth who possessed un limited wealth, which he was willing to lay out on chewing gum and candy, his experience being that the sex was strictly mercenary and Incapable of a disinterested love. Of course he had much admired Miss Toppleton. From the crown of her small dark bead, with Its tightly braided "pigtails," down to her trim little foot he hud esteemed her as wholly adorable; buf, after all, his affair of the heart had been an af fair of the winter only. With the com ing of summer be had found more se rious things to think of. He was learning to swim and to chew tobacco. The mastering of these accomplish ments pretty well occupied his time. "Ray," he repeated, "got another?" Still Clarence blinked at the fierce sunlight which danced on the rails and suld nothing. Splde slid skillfully down from his perch, but his manner had un dergone a change. "Who throwed that snipe away any how?" he asked disdainfully. Clarence turned bis eyes slowly In his direction. "Lookee here. You fellows got to keep out of these yards or I'll tell Mo Clintock. First we kuow some of you l;:ds will be getting run over, and then your folks will set up a lively bowl. Cot on out! It ain't no place for little boys!" lie put the cigarette betw-n Ills lips iin.l took a deep and tautali'.:itr.; pull at it. Splde kept to bis own sb'o of the 1lt''h tint ran between tlie fence mid the tracks. "Huh!" with liirlnite scorn. "Who's a kid? You won't be happy till I enme over there and lick you!" "First thing I know you'll be stealing rcrnp Iron!" "My gosh! The Huckleberry "d have tr st :p running if I swiped a coupling pin!" Clarence hi'.d recourse to fie Hgv ret;e, and again Splde was consumed with torturing jealousies. "Where did you .shoot that snipe anyhow?" he i:i ;::;re.l Insultingly. Once n.i.U' CUircnce al!:ivvej his dance to ftray off up the tracks. "For half a citit I'd coir.e aero s a-id do what I say!" adi'ed Spide, stuping '."vn to roll up his trousers log and then easing an uriclast'c "gallus" that cut his sh mMors. This ellciti-d a slio-t mid contunptuous grunt from Clar ence, ll-j -." well pleased with him self. He felt Splde's envy. It was sweet and satisfying. ' Say!" wi;h su '.don animation. "You fe!!e:s will be going around on your rppers in a day or si. I'll bet you'd give a hc::p ta knw what I know!" "I wouldn't give a darned cent to know all you know or ever wIM knowT retorted Clarence promptly. "Some people's easily upset here w the cupola." tapping his brlmless cover lug. "I wouldn't want to give you brain fever. I don't hate yon bad enough." "Well, move on. You ain't wanted around here. It may get me Into trou ble If I'm seen fooling away my time on you." vi hope It will," remarked Branyon's boy, Augustus, with cordial 111' will. He was literally bursting with the Im portance of the facts which he possess ed, and Clarence's indifference gave him no opening. "What will you bet there ain't .tril.e?" ui uming mis morning," said Clarence blandly, "but If there is one we are ready for It. You bet the hands won't catch us napping. We are ready I for 'em any time and all the time " This, delivered with a Urge air, im pressed Splde exceedingly. "Have you sent for the militia ' a'ready?" he asked anxiously. "That's saying," noting the effect of I his words. "I can't go blabbing about, ! telling what the road's up to, but we 1 are awake, and the hands will get It1 ln the neck If they tackle the boss." j To Clarence, Oakley was the most august person he had ever known. He 1 religiously believed his position to be1 only second ln point of importance and ! power to that of the president of tlie Lnitea states. He was wont to invest him with purely lmnginnry attributes' nnu io ue about him at a great rate' among his comrades, who were ready to credit any report touching a mail who was reputed to be able to ride on ' the cars .without a ticket. Human graudour had no limits beyond this. ."There was a meeting last night. I bet you didn't know that," said Spide. . "I heard something of it. Was your father nt the meeting. Spide?" he "ask-j ed, dropping his tone of hostility for one of gracious familiarity. The urchin promptly crossed the ditch and stood at his side. "Of course the old man was. You don't suppose he wouldn't be In it?" "Oh, well, let 'em kick. Yon see the I'oss is ready for 'em." remarked Clar ence Indifferently. He wanted to know what Splde knew, but he dldu't feel that he could afford to show any spe cial Interest. "Where you going swim ming?" he added. "Yep." But Spide was not ready to drop the fascinating subject of the strike. He wished tf astonish Clarence, who was altogether too knowing. "The meeting was ln the room over Jack Brltt's saloon," he volunteered. "I suppose you think we didn't know up at the office. We got our spies out. There ain't nothing the bunds can do we ain't on to." Splde wrote his Initials ln the soft bank of the ditch with his big toe while he meditated on what he could tsll next "WelL sir, you'd 'a been surprised If you'd 'a' been there." "Was yoa there, Spider Tep." "Oh, come off; you can't stuff me." "I was, too, there. The old lady senl me down to fetch pap home. She wae afraid he'd get full. 'Joe Stokes was there, and Lou Beutick and a whole slew of others, and drift Ryder." Clarence gasped with astonishment "Wiry, ha ain't one of the hands." "Well, he's on their side." "What you giving us?" "Say, they are going to make a stiff kick on old man Oakley working In ths shops. They got It In for him good and strong." He puused to weigh the ef fect of this and then went on rapidly: "He's done something. Ryder knows about It. He told my old man and Joe Stokes. They say he's got to grt out. Whut's a convicted criminal anyhow?" "What do you want to know that for Splde?" questioned the artful Clarence, with great presence of mind. "Well, that's what old man Oakley Is. I heard Ryder say so myself, and par and Joe Stokes Just kicked themselves because they hadn't noticed It before, j I suppose. My, but they were hotl j Say, you'll see fun tomorrow. I should I not be surprised If they sent you all j a-kltlng." I Clarence was swelling with the di; j sire to tell Oakley what he had heard, i He took the part of a pack of clga rettes from his pocket. i "Have one?" he said. i Spiile promptly availed himself of his ' companion's liberality, j "Well, so long," the latter acbleil; "I got to get back." And a moment latei . he might have been seen making his : way cautiously in the direction of thci office, while Spide, his battered li.it mi'l"!- bi arm and the cigarette cisiicli ed in one hand, was skipping gayiy across the cornfield toward the creek. ; followe I by l'lnk.

The men had a meet ing last night. It was in the room over Jack Brltt's saloon. I've Just been talking with a fellow who was there. He told me." "Sit down." said Oaklej, pushing a chair toward him. "Now, what is It?" as soon as he was seated. And Clarence, editing his reminiscences as he saw tit, gave a tolerably truthful account of his con versation with Spide. Tlie wurce of bis Information, Its general Incomplete ness and the frequent divergences oc casioned by the boy's attempt to In eoriiornte Into the narrative a satisfac tory reason for bis own presence ln th yards, did not detract from 'its valut la Oakley's estimation. The mere fart that ttfe men had held a meeting wns In Itself significant. Such Bathing was new to Antloch, as yet unvoted by la bor troubles. "What is that you say about my fa ther?" For he had rather lost track of the story and caught at the sudden mention of his father's name. "Splde says they got it ln for him. I can't Just remember what he did say. It was something or other GrlfT Ryder knows about him. It's funny, but it's clean gone out of my head, Mr. Oakley." Oakley started. What could Rydet know about his father? What could any one know? He was not left long In doubt Th next morning shortly after he arrived at the office he beard the heavy shuf fling of many feet on the narrow plat form outside his door, and a deputation from the carpenter shop led by Joe Stokes and Branyon entered the room. For a moment or so the men stood In abashed silence about the door and thn moved over to his desk. . Oakley pushed back his chair and as they approached came slowly to his feet. There was a hint of anger in his eyes. The whole proceeding smacked of Insolence. The men were In their shirt sleeves and overalls and had on their hats. Stokes put up his hand and took off his hat. Tlie others accepted this as a signal and one after another removed theirs. Then followed a mo mentary shulHIng as they bunched closer. Sevural who looked us If they would Just U soon be somewhere else breathed deep and hard. The offlce force-Kerr, Holt and Miss Walton suspended their various tasks aud stood up so as not to miss anything that was said or done. Stokes took a step forward and clear ed his throat as If to speak. Then he looked at his comrades, who looked back tbelr encouragement at him. "We want a word with yon, Mr. Oak ley," said he. "What have you to say?" "Well, sir, we got a grievance," be gan Stokes weakly, but Rranyou push ed him to one side hastily uud took his place. He was a stockily built Irish American, with plenty of nerve and a loose tongue. The men uudgeil each other. They knew Mike would have his say. "It's Just this, Mr. Oakley: There's a man in the carpenter shop who's got to get out. We won't work with him no longer!" "Thai's tight." muttered one or two of the men under the'r breath. "Wh.).;i iloy ni mean 7" asked Oakley, aud his tnne w-n tense and strenuous, for he Une.v. TIktc v.-.h an awkward silence. Ilracvou "u'.vr;.! his hat i (YlfiV ncrvoucly. At last lu said dog gedly: "The man who's got to go Is your fa ther." "Why?" asked Oukley, sinking his voice. He guessed what was coming next, but the question seemed dragged from him. He had to ask it. "We got nothing agalust you, Mr. Oakley, but we won't work ln the same shop with a convicted criminal." "That's right," muttered the chorus of men again. Oakley's face Hushed scarlet. Then every scrap of color left It. "Get out of here!" he ordered hotly. "Don't we get our answer?" demand ed ltranyou. While the Interview- was la progress McCliutook bad entered and now stood at the opposite etnl of tlie room, an at tentive listener. "No!" cried Oakley hoarsely. "I'll put whom I please to work in the shops. I.eme the room, all of you!" The men retreated before bis fury, their self confldonce rather dashed by It. One by one they hacked !ie"pishly out of the dour, ltranyou being tlie last to leave. As he quitted the room he called to Dan: "We'll give you until tomorrow to think it over. But the obi man's got to go." .Mol'liiitock promptly followed ltran you. an I Clarence i.uited after him. lie wa- In time to wit.ie-s the uncork ing of the master mechanic's i.ils of wrath and to bear tlie hot exchange of words which followed. "You can count your days with the Huckleberry numbered. ltranyou." he mid. "Tin hanged if I'll have yoit un der l;;e after this!" "We'll see about that!" retorted Rranyou roughly. "Talk's cheap." "What's the old man ever done to you. you Infernal loafer?" "Shut up, Milt, and keep your shirt on!" said Stokes lu what he intended should be conciliatory tones. "We only WHnt our rights." "We'll have 'em. too!" said ltranyou, slinking I'.'s head ominously. "We ain't dadoes or I'olacks; we're American mechanics, and we know our r'.'ils." "You're a tneak. lirnuyoii!

"Villi':.' i. liar!" .V-verlhcless Mc-f'liuti.i-k spolai only the truth. At Branyon's last word he smashed his list Into the middle of the carpenter's sour visage with a hravy, sickening thud. man called him s liar aud got away with It. "Oee!" gasped the closely attentive hut critical Clarence. "What a soak er!" Rranyou fell up ngalnst the side of the building near which they were stand I nz.
