The Story of Strike and
the Wiy It Was Settled.
By AGNES G. BROGAN. I
Copyright, 1910, by American Press
Association.
' The strike at the steel plant bad
lasted long. Vaughn, the assistant
manager, went In his automobile to
Investigate the temper of the strikers.
He was received by a hooting crowd.
A giant Italian raised a stone and held
It poised high above his head.
"Throw It, Andrea!" screamed the
voices, and then down the steps of a
tenement building came a flying fig
urea girl whose dusky hair fell about
her face as she ran.
"Andrea," she called breathlessly,
"remember Nlckola!"
Unquestlonlngly the men made way
for her as she rushed through the
crowd and leaped Into the automobile,
then stood directly before the man
whose life was threatened, protecting
him with one small outstretched hand.
"Walt!" she cried. "Walt!" And then
it seemed to Vaughn that a miracle
happened, for the desperate mob In
stantly obeyed her Imperious call and
by a common Impulse moved farther
back into the roadway, leaving a clear
path before.
"Andrea," the girl repeated sobblng
ly, "oh, Andrea !" And In silence the
giant replaced his stone and followed
the others. .
As she stood panting, one hand
pressed closely against her heart, the
picture was indelibly stamped upon
Vaughn's memory the small white
face with its great dark eyes.
Down the rickety stairway, clatter
ing upon his crutches, hobbled a crip
pled Italian boy. "Antona!" he wall
ed. "Antona!"
The girl's face was transformed by a
loving smile. "It's all right, Nlckola,"
she called reassuringly. "I will be
with you soon."
"And now," she asked of the waiting
men, "will you let us go? This person
is here for your good. Can you not
trust Antona?"
As though in answer the crowd qui
etly dispersed, and she turned to
Vaughn. "I am going to ride with you
until you have passed through the dan
gerous section," she said. "Start at
once, for their moods change quickly."
The factories and bouses had been
left behind wben the girl again spoke.
"You will be quite safe now," she told
him. "Let me get out please. I must
go back."
Vaughn stopped the machine at her
bidding and bent over to look Into her
eyes. "I am inexpressibly grateful,"
he said, "for the great service you
have done me, while I marvel at the
power you hold over those desperate
men."
"I love them and do things for them
all," she answered simply, "and down
here in this part of the world we repay
our kindnesses Just as truly as we re
venge our wrongs."
"Yon say we,' " the man interposed
quickly, "but you are very different
from the others."
"That is only because I have bad the
schooling and training which they
have missed," she answered. "In
thought and feeling I am still a wo
man of the people and sooner or later,
as you have learned, demand payment
for my kind deeds. What reward shall
I claim from you, Mr. Vaughn?"
"I am eager to show my graUtude,"
he replied.
She stood up before him, and her
glowing color deepened. "If you are
sincere in that," she said quietly, "then
end the strike at once."
The man looked up in dismay at
this unexpected request. "You ask an
Impossibility," he said curtly. "I am
but the junior member of the company,
and even if I were willing to yield to
the unreasonable demand of the men
whose cause you champion there are
others in power higher than myself."
The girl spoke in a low, passionate
tone. "You and I both know," she
said, "that they will do exacUy as you
advise. All has been left to your judg
ment Your agents, or whatever they
may be called, bave not been giving
you correct Information regarding the
origin of this strike. This time the
workman's cause is just, and I will
tell a few truths which it will be well
for you to know."
Vaughn sat fascinated, watching her
flashing eyes and Impulsive gestures
as she eloquently portrayed the 'mis
ery and poverty in the lives of the
men who had threatened him 10 short
a time ago. Tears filled the girl's
eyes. "And there is Nlckola," she
continued. "It was his father who
would bave crushed you with that
great stone today. His temper when
aroused la terrible. In a fit of rage he
threw the baby Nlckola downstairs,
and that is why he must walk on
crutches always. Since then Andrea's
life has been one long effort to make
amends to the boy, and because I try
to make Nlckola happier there is noth
ing I may ask of Andrea that be will
not do. When Nlckola is in want
then the father turns savage and cruel.
Many nights since the strike began
has the boy slept and wakened hun
gry, for one must plan cleverly indeed
to thrust charity upon these two stub
born people. Oh, promise me," she
said tremulously, "that this strike may
end."
Her voice thrilled him strangely.
Ton do not understand," Vaughn said
gently, "an that Is Involved. We nav
a principle to maintain. The demand
for Increased wages is of no conse
quence." "Then," she answered breathlessly,
"if the men go back to work, appar
ently agreeing to all your conditions,
will you later pay them what they
have asked of you?"
Vaughn smiled. "We would willing
ly comply with that peculiar arrange
ment. Miss Antona," he replied, "but
these people of yours have refused any
compromise."
The girl stepped down Into the road-

way and snook her head In mock de
spair. "The men woukl ue muen more
easily influenced than yourself, Mr
Vaughn," she said, aua tneu ne gave
the desired promise and regretfully
watched the little figure until a bend
in the road hid her from his view.
The next day, without explanation or
mention of any agreement, came the
surprising news that the workmen had
surrendered, and when Vaughn re
turned to his private office after a
lengthy consultation with the senior
members of the company he found a

street near the factory. It was really
necessary, he told himself, that he
should learn what effect the settlement
of the strike had upon the lives of the
people, and Nlckola could tell him
where to find her.
This particular evening he had
agreed to accompany Freddie White
to the opera. It was very high class
opera, and Vaughn was exceedingly
bored until his roving eyes, glancing
Into an opposite box, rested unbeliev
ingly upoa the piquant, glowing face
of Antona. Clad In a white utlken
gown, with sparkling Jewels at her
throat, she leaned forward, listening
with rapt expression to the music.
Vaughn caught his' friend's hand In a
crushing grasp. "Who Is that?" he
demanded.
Freddie winced; then hla gaze fol
lowed Vaughn's. "By Jove!" ho said
pityingly. "We all succumb sooner or
later to Miss Norton's undisputed
charm, but to be bowled over at the
first glance, old man, is unusual."
"Who Is she?" Vaughn Insisted, and
Freddie drew a long breath.
"Well, to be exact," he answered,
"her mother Is the acknowledged so
ciety leader, her father an inexhaust
ible bank, while Miss Antoinette her
self despises us and our superficial
pleasures. We merely have rare
glimpses of her. She Is Interested in
settlement work noble purposes and
all that sort of thing. The poor and
miserable of a certain section regard
her as an angol upon earth, and good
reason they have to do so. Pretty
names they have for her. 'Little
Mother' Is one, and she seems to un
derstand the queer beggars and to like
them too. Hang it all, Vaughn, I'd
be an Italian laborer myself to gain
that girl's approval!"
But his friend did not smile. "Will
you present mo after the perform
ance?" he asked eagerly, and Freddie
willingly complied.
"Prepare to be snubbed, agreeable as
you may consider yourself." be said
by way of friendly warning. But Miss
Norton was very gracious to Vaughn,
and the astonished Freddie, after
standing unnoticed for some time In
the rear of the box, presently with
drew. Vaughn looked admiringly down
into the girl's dark eyes.
"I have been trying to decide," be
said, "whether I most admire a white
satin gown or one blue woolen dress
which has a scarlet tie.
"It all depends," she replied, "wheth
er you prefer the beautiful things of
life to the useful ones."
"A combination of the two," he said
seriously, "is good indeed to see."
She smiled and turned to seek the
members of ber party, who, seeiug her
evidently engaged, had drifted away.
Vaughn laid the dainty opera flunk
across ber shoulders.
"The wheels of a great factory lire
moving again," ho said slowly. "Hun
dreds of men leave Its doors each night
to go home to happier families. There
Is no more discontent, and it Is all be
cause of you."
The girl looked out and far beyond
the moving throng. "I am so glnd,
she said Joyously, "so glad, though un
til you spoke I had not thought of all
that it means to so many, for I seemed
only to see Andrea coming home with
his great arms filled with packas.
Little Nlckola would meet him at the
bead of the stairs; then a never to be
forgotten supper would be served upon
the wooden tablo near the window,
and," she added softly, "it Is all be
cause of you." (
"Antona," the man whispered ten
derly, "Antona T'
She laughed a little unsteadily.
"Yes," she said, "you may call me by
Nlckola's translation of my name. It
is a privilege which only you niij
share with him."
"You were kind enough to act as my
escort upon one memorable occasion,"
Vaughn reminded her. "May I now
return the favor?"
Miss Norton looked In the direction
of ber waiting friends and nodded to
them with a conciliating smile, then
placed her hand upon his arm. "You
may if you please," she said.
The Hat 8trw Crop.
The greater part of the straw em
ployed for making summer bats comes
from Italy. To obtain a suitable straw
for this purpose the wheat Is sown as
thickly as possible in order that the
growth of the plant may be Impover
ished as well as to produce a thin
stalk. The Italian wheat blooms at the
beginning of June and Is pulled up by
band by the roots wben the grain Is
half developed. Should it be allowed
to remain In the ground a longer time
the straw would become too brittle for
the purpose for which It is grown.
Uprooted straws to the number of
about Ave dozen, the size of the com
pass of the two hands, are firmly tied
together In little sheaves and stowed
way In barns. After that the straw is
again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach in the sun.
Wben the product has been sufficiently
bleached It is put into small bundles
and classified. The last step is to cut
it close above the first Joint from the
top, when it is again tied up in small
bundles containing about sixty stalks
each and Is then ready for the market
