Will Till NO, scintillating snakes of whltehot Iron shot one after another out of their rolls, to come slid ing llthuly and rapidly along the floor toward Michael Dyer all day long, like things at malignant lire. It was Michael's duty to grub these soaring burs with pair of tongs and guide them Into tha next aet of rolls, through which they emerged longer and thinner and atlll mora lithe, for another glla mun to handle. Hut with that uian Ulchael bad no con cern ; It was upon Ian Lennon work ing next to him down the dim aisle, which, like a dream of the Inferno, waa ahot throughout Its Interminable length with these vivid, crawling streaks that he turned his gloomy eyes In the occasional pauses when, for some reason or other, a. beat or two was missed In that rhythmical procession of angry melnl. The cause for his aumlier specula lion was presently revealed when Dan was attacked by an acute puroxysin of coughing a aelztlre that shook hi in violently from head to foot, that made blm gusp and struggle for breath, and, stooping, huddle hla shoulders togeth er for escape from that Intolerable pain In hla chest. . "I'm afraid It's got me," he said, glancing up at Michael, and hla eyes were full of fear. "You're eraty with the heat," re ponded Michael roughly, and .went bark tn hla atntlon. .,, It I They seldom alluded tf Die White Scourge by Its right name In the mills. They held It In too mtn-h awe, for sooner or later the dread maludy laid most of them low, n. . At Pan's gate neat Mrs. Lennon met them, and Michael paused to ex change pleasant word with her. Hlie was heartily glad to sea ber husband's friend, aa ahe alwaya was, for be had been their bulwark through years at trouble, and ahe felt a debt of grati tude to hltn that waa beyond paymeiiL Michael paused but a moment at the gate, and then went on to his owa tiny cottage next door, where a twelve-year old daughter had been but housekeeper and sole companion for halt her Industrious life. In the eve ning the two men sat out upon Mi chael's Utile porch, and for an hour or so Dan waa more hla old aelf than he had been -tor mnny, many days; but on the- following morning be did not go to work. "It" hsd finally "gor him, and further pretense mss out of the question. ' In ; the evening Michael alwaya stopped In , as soon .as he came from work to gossip with. Dan about what had gone on that day In the mills; and both Dan and his wife grew to look for hla coming aa the most cheer ful moment In their day, though oft en, after he bad gone, and while tlie light of this cheering visit wss atlll In hla wlfe'a eyes; Dan would lie In frowning alienee. f. , It waa one evening near the end. when hla wife and Michael were stand ing together at his bedside, thst the long pent-up rebellion broke from. Iton's lips. "Strong and healthy, both of you," he complained bitterly, "and you're waiting; Just watting for me to get out of the way!" It waa unjust. It waa cruel I It waa not like Dan's aelf to have had that thought, much less to have voiced It; but he wna warped and twisted all nut of his normal mind by the wasting malady that had fastened ion him. They forgave him In all Idly, bat the words bad been aald; they could not forget them, and the shadow b(J them still lay between lly two "Jen, they stood ahovt Tn's reave Is js tie-' tween thcnirte jdore when, later no. they caiutv'trt renllxe that Dan had foreseen the trnjh even before. they, themselves,' eoolfl have known It. , The problem for Fanny Lennon be came a aerlous one at once. The eld eat of ber children waa but ten, and she bad no way to earn for them bar by plain sewing, which was scarfco nnd poorly paid. She could not- ac cept of Michael's charity now,' van In her direst extremities, and too knowledge of It cut him like a knife. That he should be earning good Wagiwj and have more than enough, while the wife of bis friend, to sny nothing et the woman whom be now could ad mit that he loved, was Id dire straits, worried him by day and by night. Forced by his distress, he spoke to her one evening when the children were playing together In the buck lot; but, like his crude bigness, he spoke without vestige of tact. "You remember what Dan said to us by bis bedside," be began ; but he got 'no f dftrfkr. . With I piteous gesture Mrs. Lennon stopped hlin. -it "I'leaae don't let as talkmbout It,'" she begged blm, and whfit further plea he had at heart froze upojr bis tongtie. IK could Dot knnw.,wUu what sens of guilt, even tWugh blameless, 'she . rememlired f"tt charge agulnst her faith fjitlieis. - Thereafter Michael waa mora dis tressed than ever. He saw the Lennon children Insufficiently fed, with plenty next door; ha snw them Insufficiently clad, while his own daughter had more than she needed; he knew the Lennon coffer to be emp ty, while his own useless money plied up In the bank. One eveulng, how ever, he cuius home with a lighter step thun ha hud known since Dad's deulli. "I guess you'd better have me to look after your .property," he said gaily to Mrs. Lennon, stopping at her door. "My property," aha repeated won durlngly. "Yes, your property. A fellow was down at the mills today hunting Dan up to see why ha dldu't puy hla In surance. That waa tha first the com pany knew be waa dead, and the first I knew be hsd any Insurance. Did you know Itr She was overwhelmed. "Dun always did keep bis money matters a secret," she reflected, how ever, and aha managed to ask how much It was. - . "Well, It ain't a lump sum," Mi chael answered her, "It's better than that; be Insured himself so aa to give you eighty dollars a month." 'T told the fellow I'd attend to the buslnesa end of this for you," be In formed her. "There's got to be pa pers signed, and they might cheat a woman. I'll draw your money for you," end thereafter he did. IIL And so matters might have gone on, but that one day Michael made the misstep which be bad escaped through all hla service and got an ugly burn. For a week be waa delirious In the fever thst came of It It was during thst week' that Mrs. Lennon, In the midst of her nursing of hi in, happened to remember that thla was the fif teenth day of the month. Leaving her patient In charge of Nellie Dyer, ahe made her way to the office of the Insurance compsny whose address she hsd found upon her policy. As ber Introduction she said that ahe had coma to draw her money, and laid down her policy. "No policy was ever lasued by this company In the nsme of Daniel Len non," the clerk Informed her. "This paper Is a rank forgery, so clumsy that It would be laughable If It were not criminal." He kept the policy atlll In his hsnd. It was his evident Intention not to give It back to her. Crushed and be wildered, abe turned away, but a thought sent her again to the wicket. "Dut I have been getting my money on It for nearly four, years," ahe urged. "You haveT aald the clerk Incredu lously. "Who has been paying your ' "Michael Dyer," aha answered, "a neighbor of ours. The clerk looked at ber curiously, and p'reaentty ha smiled. "I shall have to keep thla policy and look np the facta," he told her, atlll with that curious smile that hsd an unwonted trace of gentleness In It; "but I don't think Just now thst any prosecution will grow out of It. ft Mi1. Dyer hss been handing you thla money, he must have been paying It out of hla own pocket" . Now that the clew had been given, ahe knew that the clerk's conjecture must be true. It waa ilka Michael to do thla big and generous thing to give up to her more than a third of all that he earned I She went home with her head In a whirl, and turning Into her own house In a breathless psnlc of thought sat down in the dim front room. What revulalona of feeling took place within her there, what tearing away of prej udices and Ideaa and habits of mental process that had hedged about her soul, she could not tell ; but no mat ter how It came about ahe was a dif ferent woman when, a half hour later, Nellie Dyer came running over, beam ing' with delight. "Oh Mamma Lennon!" cried Nellie. Tapa is awake and In hla right mind at last, and be'a asking for your The words thrilled her strangely, and suddenly ahe knew that tn the half-hour In which ahe sat alone ahe bad gained an understanding of great ness, tlint at last she hsd a glimmer Ing of the true bigness and tender neaa of the heart of Michael Dyer. With a catch In ber throat ahe hur rled over and into' that other dim room where Michael lay with hla eyes turned wistfully to the door through which she might enme. Aa she hur rled to the bedside and caught hla hand be smiled at ber and sighed his relief la her presence. 'It's eo good to have you here," he said. "At our age friends are not so many, but that we 'miss them when we are In trouble."
