A MOT’,’RE AND ITS CRITICS. “Let's take a squint in.” It is on the i leivulk in front of the fine residence of Ezekiel Breton. Surely every¬ body w ithin the length aud breadth of a hun¬ dred miles must have heard the name of the wealthy mill owner, whoso energy and shrewdness have passed into a byword. The house is brilliantly lighted, and the windows wide open as if to invite tho attention and admiration of the humble passers by. Thri e men, laborers, if coarse, soiled clothes and dull, heavy tread moan anything, have come down the street and now stand leaning against tho tall iron fence. by shouldn't we see the show, boys?” continued the long whiskered man, with au unpleasant laugh. “It's our work that’s pay¬ in’ for it, [ guess IIow long do you think it would tat; • you. Jack, to scrimp enough to¬ gether to buy one of them candlesticks? Hullo—ilure's the boss himself,” ami he thrust his hand inside the iron picifUk to point out a portly gentleman whose bald head wax fringed with silver white hair. Mr. Breton had paused n moment before the window. “Come, let’s go on,” urged the man with a clay pipe, edging <>!!’ a little into the shadow; “he’ll see us an,! ! :• uiad.” “V, hat's tii - mi.:. if he does?” and the speaker frowned at the rich man from be¬ tween the pickets. “He can't get help no cheaper than us, can he? That’s one good pint of bein’ way down, you can’t tumble a mite. But just look at him, boys; big watch chain and gold bowed specs a-danglin’. See the thumbs of his white hands stuck in his vest pocket and him as smilin’ os if he never did nobody a wrong in his whole blessed life. There now is somethin’ purtier, though.” The old gentleman moved unsuspectingly aside and revealed a young girl, large and fail-, with great calm blue eyes. She wore a pale blue silk, with delicate ruffles at her half hared elbow and at her neck, kissing the warm white skin. “Well, 1 suppose my girl Jane might look just as good in such clothes as them. But she wouldn't no more speak to Jane than as if the girl wasn’t human. And as for a poor man, he might pour his life out for her purty face and she wouldn't give him a look. A few dollars and a suit of clothes makes the odds.” “What’s she laughin’ at?” said the tall man, taking his clay pipe from his mouth. “Can’t you see? There’s the boy standin’ jist beyond her. Breton’s young hopeful. Nothin’ less than the biggest kind of game for her, I minute." “I never seen him before,” remarked the third man, reverentially. “I s’pose he'll bo our boss some day." “He’s to-c.) to college polishin’ up his wits. ’Taint ;;,oi .' be so easy as it was to grind the po« r. 7 cl! man now didn’t need no extra scko-i: “I r.iut : ■ ■ now," said tho tall man, blow; at ruaih of smoke. “The boy looks i i ,. kind about his month and eyes. See lil.i look at the girl I enl’late she don’t think to'. very bad.” “Wnii till he gets his heel on tho necks of a thou • t of ns, as his father has. Wait till he ii-: ’.j wo aint got a penny ahead, nor a spot < !' oil's earth for c*r own, but lio at his i:v ; -. ,See how kind he’ll be then. ’Taint t . . nature of the beast, Bill Rogers.” Bill Rugo;-. took u long look at the slight form of !.!:■■ mill owner's son—at his fresh, young ! i e and small, pleasant black eyes. “I wi -h l lie lad had a chance. I believe I’d trust him, Graves. Hadn’t we better be startin'.’ The mootin' will begin purty soon." “What's the hurry? Ctrran is always late himself. Well, come along, then.” Just now Mr. Breton is leaning lightly on the mantel near one of his pet heirlooms— the si ver candelabra. Near him stands a tall, elegantly formed gentleman, only a trifle past middle age, w hose clear chiseled mouth lias tlie merest hint of a smile on it, as if he had just said something bright. Itwasasmile be always wore when he had spoken—a smile with an edge to it. But Mr. Ellingswortk had to make that smile do good service, for he never laughed. The funniest jokes had been told him—the most ridiculous situations described to him—but he only smiled. “What am I going to do with the boy?” Mr. Breton’s voice was always loud and sharp as if making itself heard above tho roaring of his mills. “Why, marry him to your daughter the first thing. Eh! Philip?” “ Why, marry him to your daughter the, first thing.’’ Would tho bo angry, proud and reserved as she was? Philip shot a furtive glance at Bertha as she sat slice™ atJKhc piano idly turning over the music But the girl might not have heard, not a shade of expression changed in her face. It might as well have been the sources of the Nile they were dis¬ cussing so far as she was concerned, appar¬ ently, but as she |iessed her white hand on the music sheet to keep it open, her lover's eyes softened at the dash of their betrothal diamond. “I should think your hands must be pretty full already,” suggested Mr. Ellingsworth in the low smooth tone, as much a part of his style as the cut of his black coat, “with a thousand unreasonable beings down in your factories. And by the way, I hear that Labor is claiming its rights, with a big L. As if anybody had any rights, except by accident.” “Skeptical as ever, Ellingsworth,” said tho mill owner with all a practical man’s distaste for a thing so destructive to industry. “But no, 1 get along easjly enough with my help if q Yacks and tramps would only keep out of the way; though there is some kind of an agitation meeting to-night; somebody is r-; in- tie- mischief omonj them?* I wish I knew who it was,' amt Mr. Breton IookciI impatiently around ttie room ns if ho honed to nei» the ipceadiary in some corner of lit; own parlor. Ho met Bertha’s blue eyes wide open in a new interest, erne nad half turned ft-oro th« piano, but her sleeve wiu caught bock on tho Dtlge of the keyboard, revealing the fair full contour of her arm, which glistened whiter than tho ivory beneath it. “A mystery, how charmingF’ she smiled; ‘‘let me picture him; tall, with clustering auburn hair on his godlike head”- “Pish—excuse me, my dear—but more likely tho fellow is some low, drunken jail¬ bird you would be afraid to pass on the itreet. Some day they will find out there is no good making working jieoplo uneasy. They want the work, and they ought to lie jlad the work wants them. Their interests ire identical with ours.” "No doubt," assented Mr. Ellingsworth, in fils suavest tones, that seemed too smooth for satire, “but perhaps they think you get too large a share of the dividends.” “You like to round your sentences pretty well,” retorted Mr. Breton, flushing slightly, ‘but do you moan to say you, of ail men, ivrutilize with this labor reform nonsense.”' Ellingsworth smiled and shrugged his shapely shoulders just visibly. “Yon ought to know me, Mr. Breton. 1 ij'nqiathize with—nobody. It is too much trouble. And as for the sufferings of the lower classes—they may be very pitiable—but l don't see how the nether millstone can help -tself, or for that matter lie helped either.” Then he glanced curiously toward the piano. “Why, where are our young people?’’ After considerable dumb show Bertha had become aware that Philip had some intelli¬ gence of a startling nature to communicate. 5o it hapi>ened that, at tho moment Mr Ellingsworth inquired fur them, tho young people stood just inside tho door of the cozy little room called “the study.” “I am going to have some high fun to- light, Bertha; 1 am going to that labor meet- ng. I want to see the business from the iu- ' fide, when the public show isn't going on.” The girl looked at him in astonishment. •They won’t let you in.” “That’s just where the fun is coming. It is joing to be better than all the college devil¬ try, and—wait here two minutes and I’ll show you.” Bix>k shelves ran up to the ceiling on the side a: tho room, opposite the door. A long of¬ fice table stretched across tho center almost to the high window looking toward the street. But all tho business associations did lot oppress this elegant young woman, who :hrew herself in luxurious abandon into tho solitary easy chair. She apparently did not find love very disturbing. No doubt she only untied at its poems, fervid with a passion un¬ known to her calm, even life. Her young lover had often been frightened at the firm outline of tho cold red lips, with never a thought of kisses on them, and at the sprite¬ like unconsciousness of her blue eyes that looked curiously at him when love softened iiis voice and glorified his face. Sho was not listening for his returning footsteps, not one line of eagerness or of suspense was on the dispassionate face, while she played with the flashing jewel her lover had placed long ago jn her finger. The door opens behind her, but she does not turn her head—no doubt he will come in front of her if he wishes to be—there he is, a slight figure, looking very odd and disagree- ible in the soiled and ill fitting clothes he has put on, with no collar or cuffs, but a blue flannel shirt open a button or two at his neck. His faded pantaloons were J'oughly thrust into the tops of an inuuense pair of cowhide boots which apparently had never been sc much ns shadowed by u box of blacking. His black eyes sparkle as he holds out to her a bandless felt hat which shows tho marks of a long and varied history. Bertha looked at bim in dull distaste. What a poor mouth he had, and how* unpleasantly his face wrinkled when ho smiled. “I wouldn't ever do this again,” she said joldly. A hurt look came into his eyes; he dropped his hat on the floor and was turning dejected¬ ly away. The fun was all gone, and her words and her look he knew would come back to him a thousand times when he should bo alone. But sho put out her hand to him like tho generally scepter of a queen. “Nevermind—you will wear better clothes than these, won’t you ?” “But I wouldn’t like to have that make any difference,” said Philip, looking wistfully at the cool white hand ho held. “Supposing I was poor”- She drew her hand away impatiently. If he had known how he looked then, he would have chosen another time for his lover's fool¬ ishness. “Don’t get poor. I like pretty things and graceful manners and elegant surroundings; that is the way I am made. I should suffo¬ cate if I didn’t have them.” “But,” urged Philip uneasily, “you couldn't love anybody but me, could you?” Sho smiled charmingly. “You must not let me!” Then she rose as if to dismiss the mbject. “Are you all ready?” In a minute more he was, after he had fastened on his yellow whiskers and bronzed over his face and neck and white wrists. “Your own father wouldn’t know you!” she laughed, as they opened the outer door. Philip went down two steps. “You shake the foundation with those boots.” He was quite recovering his spirits, now that she was so kind with him. “And you will tell me all about it, and whether the leader has auburn hair as I said ? How long before you will come back—an hour? Well. I'll be here as long os that." Ho pulled his great hat well down over his ;yes and started, but at the gate he turned to look back. Bertha stood in the doorway, tail and queenly, the red gold of le v hair glistening in the light like a halo about her head. He could not catch the look in her face, but as she stood she raised her hand to her lips and threw him a kiss with a gesture of ex¬ quisite grace. In a moment more he heard her at the piano, and he tried to Traviata”* keep clumsy step to thestrain from “La that came throbbing after him. CHAPTER II. MASQUERADING. Philip pushed open tho door of Marki t hall and looked in. About sixty men were scattered over the beaches in all conceivable positions, A number held pipes between their teeth, filling tho room with the rani; smoke of the strongest and blackest tobacco. Here and there two men appropriated, a whole bench, one at each end, for a sofa. But more of them were settled down on the small of their backs, with their knees braced against the bench in front. He saw in a mo¬ ment that, though he was worse dressed than any of them, yet there was a difference in kind also. There was more meaning in one wrinkle on their well worn coats than in all his ingenious parapbern ' ia. He felt ashamed in the presence of these pathetic realities, and turned to go back, but bis great boots creaked incautiously. Only two or three looked around; a poor man more or less does not count for much with the poor or with the rich. Two or three grave, worn faces, two or tliree pairs of tired, hopeless eyes rebuked him uneonseionslv for the idle freak that brought turn there. W hat rtgnt hast ne there, who came out of curiosity to watch tho un¬ healthy symptoms of the disease called pov¬ erty! What an insult to their bitter needs were his mock tr imming?, in which he cama like one masquerading among a graveyard full of ghosts! “Hold on, friend, ye needn't go,", and a long whiskered man beckoned to him. He found his way to a seat with a hang dog air, the best piece of acting bo hail done yet. The some stolid look w is man's face, bleached to a setthil | , from the confinementof years in the . . . of the mills, and there was a bitterness about the mouth and nostrils as if he had not ki>-ed the rod that smote him. “No call to be shamed, young rein I nq>- pose them’s the best clothes you t . Your heart may be just as white as it .on had a better livin’.” The jioor don’t talk except when they have something to say. Bo Philip said nothing, to act in character. “I suppose you think you’re pretty hard up,” resumed the big whiskered man, who was no other than Graves, the man who had peered into his companion’s parlor window only au hour ago. And he glanced signifi¬ cantly at Philip's l)oots and soiled panta¬ loons. “•Test look at that little chap over yonder, all bowed up. Ho don’t look very hearty, does he? Up to his house there’s a wife all faded and broken, and two little cripples for children, a whinin' and a screeebin’ from moniin’ to-night. He would chop his head off to help them, but he is slow anil weak, and don’t git but ninety cents a ilay, and ho can't save them babies a single ache, nor ease their poor misshapen little bones one twinge. It takes every penny to keep the wretched breath in ’em all, and him and his wife, once as purty a gal as ever you seen, has only to stand and see ’em cry. They used to cry themselves, too, but that was long ago.” Graves looked about him. “Do you see that lean faced man wjth the hurt arm, at the end of the seat ye're on! Well, he's got the smartest little boy in town. All ho wanted was schoolin', and his father and mother saved and scrimped so he could have it. You oughter seen how proud they was to see their lad struttin’ off to school while they kept a thilikin’ of him all day long in tho mill. And they was never too tired to hear the boy toll them over the hard names he had learned. And then they would tell the neighbors, who sometimes got jealous, how they was savin’ every cent and how their boy was goiu’ to col¬ lege like old Breton’s son. But there was no call for the neighbors to be jealous; the sick, woman wcut to work one day when she was and caught her death o’ cold and it took a mint of money to miss and then bury her. Then the man fell and got hurt and the little boy cried enough to break your heart when they took his books away.” The face of tho long whiskered man softened an instant, but he turned his head away. "Ho needn’t a cried,” he said gruffly; “I don’t know as he was any ^better than the rest of us.” Now there came a little commotion <>n the A man who sat head and shoulders above group on the platform rose to liis full height like a young giant and came forward. He looked down into the upturned faces for moment in silence, and Philip felt his blue eyes piercing him like a sword. “Men,” he liegan. Then he stopped speak¬ ing a moment. “Yes, men you are, in spite of. all the degradation the rich and the pow¬ erful can put upon you. The time is coming when the principles of equality vaunted on pages of so many lying constitutions, and on the lips of so many false tongued shall be fully realized. The time is coming when the Work shall not lie on one side and the reward on tho other. W'e not always wear rags as the livery of masters. Not always shall the poor rise and toil late, wear their skin till it be like parchment, and their bodies till be read}' to drop into the grave for only to pluck the fruit of God's earth for the lipe of the idle and the to taste 1 . The gracious favors of ten smiling hills and valleys are gatli only for tho few, and those whftse nrro- liardness of heart have least de¬ them. And they tell us it must lie so; the few who are more capable and pru¬ should thus bo rewarded for their They point to six thousand oppression of the poor, and say has been must Is*. Yes, for six years tho groans of the poor have up, and as long the few, for whom alono the beauty and bounty of the great earth to blossom, have answered with and contempt.” Now his magnificent seemed to expand; his voice lost its pa¬ tone and rang out like a trumpet. “But the knowledge they have given to us better slaves is bursting our fetters their frightened eyes. The astonished see at last the black and monstrous in¬ of their subjection. They have num¬ their hosts*as countless as the sands of sea.

Cur ran's words came into his soul like molt' tire, consuming the chaff of years and lea\ ing a path of light behind. He was full < I wonder that he had been blind so long, imxe with joy at his new piercing vision. He had forgotten how he had come there, and felt f sudden desire to take the hand of every pool in the room and pledge him his help But no one seemed touched as he was. Tin hard look was on each fare, the mast the poor assume to cover their distress, btr the eyes of them all were centered on the:. 1 i orator. "But you are poor, and with your wive and children are hungry for even the crus of bread your masters cast you. Though yoi were a million to one, you are held to theii service, no matter how unjust, by the daiij recurring facts of hunger and cold. Look the fields arc white with theii' harvests, thi filled with tbpir cloths, -but th“ la* 1 I makers uml tneir pnikm police are in fiay. mid y<*i must bow your mrek necks thank your masters humbly for tlie their greed vouchsafes you.” Philip's heart thumped painfuli} within faded coat. Could the speaker give no hope U» the wretched listeners hanging on his lips? Must they cringe forever at the foot of power? Their thin, worn bands made tho bread, but it was snatched from their months tnd doled out in scanty allowance as tho price of hojielcsn slavery. He had never seen, it before. "Whq is hef he whisjiered to his compan¬ ion. The man did not even turn his face from the speaker “It is Curran. He belongs to the Labor league.” This, then, was the agitator his fa¬ ther spoke of. And Bertha had pictured him rightly, with his clustering auburn hair. For i moment he stood silent, while under the iivitic- light in his eyes the souls of each one ripened for his next words. “Alone you can do nothing, but united wo mn shake the world, and all over the land the oppressed are banding together. We are weak now, but when the long stifled voice of your wrongs finds utterance, the answering moans of millions will rouse your souls t-> tho resistless martyr pitch. Then it will sc«m sweet to die—yes, to starve—with your dear Dues about you inspired with the same eu thusiasm. When the generation is lmm which dare starve but has forgotten how i yield, and even for the bread of life will un- •oil its children into eternal slavery, then will tho gold of the rich rot worthless in their white hands till they divide with u.s our ■oimnon heritage.” He stopped and sat down, and as his en¬ thusiasm faded from his face, Philip saw ho was not handsome. The eyes that had seemed *> wonderful were too deep seated beneath his heavy brows, and Ids smooth shaved face was scarred from exposure to sun and storm; yet, while he had been speaking, pity and di¬ vine wrath in turn melting and burning in his eves and lighting up his rugged checks, he had seemed beautiful, like an archangel. Tho audience sat in silence a moment, then Due man shuffled Ids feet uneasily, then an¬ other, and then till rose listlessly to their feet. Philip thought their zest in life had gone so long ago that they did not even into it; then he remembered what Ids life was, bright as a June morning. Did God love him so much totter than these weary crea¬ tures, whose only refuge was in hopeless¬ ness? Then he thought of Bertha waiting for 1dm. and ho hurried out, glad that, ho icerned to Is) escaping notire. Where was the funny adventure ho had to tell his sweet¬ heart? A new world had been revealed to turn; a world within tho world he had played with, that know no such thing as mirth, but fed forever on bitter realities, and bus little spark of happiness seemed smothered in its black night. Each one must have a family rirele of his own. There were hungry eyes that looked to him for tho cheer his poor heart was too dead to give. Suddenly a heavy iiand was laid on his shoulder. ‘Traps you aint got no place to go to, friend.” 1* was his big whiskered compan¬ ion in tl. ■ hah, Graves. “I sort o’ liked your looks in tho mootin’ to-night, and you're welcome to a bet! at my house if you want it.” “Oh, no,” stumbled Phil ip,’at his wit's end. “Oh, no? Why not, then? Where to you goin’ to stay?” and tho man took his hand from the young man’s shoulder and eyed him suspiciously. "Why, he v/antod to go home ind lay off his f-trever. Bertha, all radiant in all that wealth cun add to beauty, was awaiting hint. He had so much to tell her,” but he had nothing to say aloud. “I won’t take no refusal," in fled the man, taking Philip by tho arm. “No words; Jane will get along easy with an extra for once. I presume you’ve slept in wuss places.” I TO .r* CONTINUED.'! Rule Nisi. Walter T. Miller, | Mortgage, Ac.
