He took her hand' gently as if he toucnca a
bo'v thing, and his face softened like a
hiid's. He would not have let her fall for
the world. She had taught him, how he did
not stop to thin!:, that there was a rare and
-xquisite strain of joy in life. She had
spiritualized womanhood to him; he sud¬
denly saw in it an essence so pure and fine it
might redeem the world. An hour ago, ho
had been so wretched, and now a vague,
sweet hope he cared not to define was born
in him. As lie stood upon tho road lied and
reached up his hands to help Bertha down,
their eyes met for a moment, and then she
trusted herself to him in such gentle sur¬
render that a mist floated before his sight.
She almost fell, and he must needs gather her
perfect form in his arms to savo her.
Philip hud been idly snapping hjs whip
and. looking up the road. Ho thought lie
saw in tho distance a number of men with
guns hurrying in his direction and before
them—yes, it must boa dog; an odd hour of
tho day for hunting. He might as well have
his horses turned about; he could see Curran
and Bertha clambering dovVn from the rocks.
So it happened that at tho moment Bertha
came so near falling—in fact, did fall, into
Curran's arms—Philip was sitting witli his
back toward them, face l toward home.
But by this time I ho hunters with guns
were nearer; the blacksmith had rushed out
of his shop to look at tho dog who bounded
along with his mouth to the ground drop¬
ping foam as he ran.
The dog was mad. Bertha saw the great
white creature, and grew jialo as death, and
pressed back against tho rocky wall in do-
spair. Curran saw him too, and had not
even to make up his mind to die to save this
woman. It was a matter of course. lie
stepped out directly in front of her without
one word, and bending forward, waited. Tho
mad dog might pass by. But no, in ail in¬
stant more the lieast was upon him, and like
lightning Curran had reached out his hands
of iron and caught his shaggy throat as in a
vise.
The creature rose upon its hind legs and
snapped ravenously at liis captor, great drops
of foam, specked with blood, dropping from
hir, jaws. With one rapid glance Curran saw
tho men with guns, running at full speed,
and almost at hand. If ho could hold him
but 011 c moment more he might yet lie saved,
if those glistening teeth, distilling poison and
madness, would spare his flesh one moment
more. His arms and wrists were corded liko
a giant's; his head thrown back to escape tho
venomous fangs, while he listened with fast
sickening heart to tho sound of approaching
feet, lie heard, too, tho quick breathing of
the woman behind him; thank God, he could
save her from such a fate, and she might
think kindly of him sometimes, even if ho
must die like a dog, since it was for her.
But now liis arms trembled with the terri¬
ble btrain upon them and the dog struggled
more fiercely, so that tho man felt his hot,
fetid breath on his cheek, and in an instant
more the deadly jaws seemed closing over his
arm. Suddenly there came a loud report and
a cloud of tmokv, ami the mangled creature
fell upon the ground in his death :: ony.
The madness had gone out of his Ik ! . wn
eyes which looked up pitifully at t! he
would have slain.
"They were just in time with their guns,”
exclaimed Philip, rushing up and wringing
his hand.
But the man made no response, nor even
looked around for one sign of gratitude from
tho woman he had risked his life for. Ho
had no answers or smiles for the admir¬
ing crowd that had seemed to gather so
quickly when tho danger was over, but his
face,"' • unite pale as ho walked up the
road. At the !-lnr!::.;>!l<k'.; shop a thought
sec:.' i to I.-;.-. i :e hesitated a mo¬
ment and then went i .
When the crowd came up and followed
him in, they found him before the glowing
forge. His sleeve was rolled up, revealing
an arm almost like the smith’s, but how
closely he was studying it. Just below the
elbow were the marks of a dog's fangs, out of
which slowly oozed two great drops of blood.
No one dared to speak; all looked on him as a
man devoted, and half expected to see al¬
ready the signs of madness on his calm, paio
face. The men with ttie guns had come in
with the rest, and stood under the rows of
horse shoes that lined tho blackened walls,

with horrified eyes riveted on the print of
the poi*on.-.1 fangs. The blacksmith stood
by his anvil, hammer in hand, as if frozen,
and even Philip Breton was stunned and
baffled at the sudden revelation of the fate
stamped on this man who had given his life
for Bertha's. Philip had been devising how
rare a gift of undying friendship he could
give him in token of his gratitude, and nowa
terrible death must be his only reward.
But the face of tho victim was as com¬
posed as if death had already claimed him.
He did not seem to sec one of the silent
forms that thronged the little shop. Then he
looked carefully at the wound in liis arm and
pressed out the drops of poisoned blood. In
another instant he had reached out his right
hand toward liis forge and grasped the end
of a bar of iron that shone at white heat
where it touched the coals. He drew it out
before o'r- could catch his breath and held it
close against the death mark in his quivering
flesh. A Tokening L.iss brought a cry of
sympathy irotn the astonished crowd, but

Suddenly the sound of fire bells fell upon
ear and startled him out of his mel¬
revery. The same instant he saw a
cloud of smoke above the brick mills,
then a bright tongue of flame leap up
it. The bells pealed out in short nerv¬
strokes as if in tremulous fear, and at
impulse the young man's blood coursed
his veins in uncontrollable excite¬

people hatless, coatless, and some even
in their haste, poured out of every
and alley way, and into the wide open
overybody talking and nobody listen¬
But Bertha had hardly spoken during the
home, and now seemed very little in¬
in the disturbance.
“The mills are on fire,” cried Philip,
his reins and turning liis excited
toward her.
“So I see,” she said coolly, “and hadn’t
better drive on?”
"Why, I ought to be here. - ' lie looked
at the hurrying crowd and back¬
Bertha’s cold beautiful face. “Couldn’t
wait in one of these tenements? These
all nice people.”
But she made no motion, and only looked
his flushed face in annoyed surprise.
are you thinking of? I stop with
people?”
“Or drive on home without tne. The
horses are gentle and you are such a good
driver, you know.”
Philip was growing terribly restless; tha
people came faster and faster, and liis eager
eyes followed each man and woman into thu
gates with increasing anxiety. Even Bertha
noticed the curious looks tho passers by gave
to the carriage that blocked the way.
“I couldn’t think of it,” she said in
measured tones that reminded Philip, even
at such a moment as that, of her father’s.
“You had better drive along; there, not so
fast. Why will you run the horses? You
almost frighten me.”
It took but a few moments to reach Bertha’s
home, but it seemed a long time to Philip,
who kept looking back over liis shoulder at
the flames which to his excited fancy seemed
rising higher at every glance. He stopped
the horses at Bertha's door at last, and leap¬
ing to the ground, assisted her to alight. Tha
horses were panting, but there was no tinia
even to give them breath, and in an instant
more Philip was back in his scat. But
Bertha stood as if she had something to say,
and he waited before he drew up the reins.
“You will make a mistake in leaving mo
to inyself to-night.”
He thought there was a mysterious touch of
self distrust in her voice that was soft and
almost tender as she looked fixedly at him.
Ah! he had never seen her so lovely; as if
the warm passionate woman soul had been
born in her; and he longed in his rapture to
to fall at her feet and kiss them. He was
forgetting the mill in flames as he drank in
the new sweet hope she seemed to give him.
He could not leave her thus with that won¬
derful light in her eyes. No doubt the fire
was subdued, and how littlo he could do at
best; there were so many stronger than he.
But suddenly a tongiu ' flame leaped up
into the black sky like ! ig.
“I would so love to s; aiding, but the
mills are on fire—my- father’s mills. I might
save them. Don’t you understand—it would
be infamous in me to"’-
“I only said you make a mistake.”
Till he dies Philip Breton never will forget
that scene; the darting flames beckoning him
away, and this beautiful woman, for whose
first fond caress he w<.-oid have b . veil every¬
thing but his manhood and honor, inviting
him to stay. And in her changed face he
thought he saw such sweet promise of love
if be stayed and such sure presage of evil if
he went.
“Good night,” he said with faltering voice
as he drew up the reins.
“Good night,” she answered slowly as she
turned to go in, and he thought he heard her
other sentence over again, "You maken mis¬
take.”
It was Number Two mill on fire, but all
that ingenuity and strength could do seemed
doiug as well without Philip. The men were
as busy as bees. Fifty manned the brakes of
the hand engine, and pumped as vigorously
as if there was no such thing as lame backs
and aching muscles, while on top of the en¬
gine beside the beU, which rang with every
stroke of the brakes, stood their foreman
keeping time with his arms and whole body,
and encouraging them with his hoarse, ex¬
cited voice. Then there wei% three hydrants
in full operation and a crowd of men to keep
the hose in eonditioh, and four more in rub¬
ber suits to hold the nozzles and direct the
streams of fast flowing water where it would
quickest subdue the fierce flames. Then
seemed nothing for Philip to do. He
worth no more than the crowd of chattering
women, who stood as near the fire as
rough voiced men would let them. How
tbeir thin white faces looked, half hid by
shawls tied about their heads. It was a
event in tbeir dull, monotonous lives;
very foundations of their world
shaken, and they could not talk fast
to «TT>rw» their crude thought# at the
ing op of old association*
“Carry tho hose up to the

"The ladder U not tong enough,”
one of the men in rubber suit*
“Can't you climb? Who can, thenf'
This was Philip's opportunity, and be hur¬
ried up the ladder tvro rounds at a time.
Then lie swung himself off on the lightning
rod. Its sharp edges cut liis tender hands,
but in his eagerness he did not notice it. In
a moment more he had pulled hic'-clf up to
tho window sill and burst in tl Then
he reached down for tho I l a cheer
went up for the rich man’s i who was not
afraid of woUc.
He heard Ins father's voice lielow thanking
the men for their devotion, as tho sullen
flames seemed to give way befoi * heir tire¬
less efforts. But it Was no time w for idle
felicitations. The flro seemed ui ?r control,
but if the mastery were relaxed, it would
leap high again in its fury, and the other
mills must go too, for all they stood now so
cold and proud. The smoke grew thinner in
the w indow where Philip stood, so he could
look down on the sweaty faces and bending
forms of the men at tho brakes. Everything
depended on them, and how strong held, they sent and j
the water through the hose he
forced back the lire inch by inch from its
prey. If they could only keep it up a few
moments more the mills would be out of
danger. Each stroke of the brakes made the
hose throb against his side almost liko a
giant's pulse. God grant them strength a
few moments more.
Suddenly ho heard a loud voice raised
above the murmur of tho crowd.
“Wise boys ye lie, to clench the nails in
yer own coffins. Ain't this mill yer jail and
its bosses your jailers? Is there a fool of ye
all, but knows old Breton who grins so nice
to-night on ye, but knows him for a tyrant,
who grinds us to powderi”
Philip saw a short, burly man whose haii
was cropped close to his round bead, shout¬
ing and gesticulating wildly, as he made his
way up to the engine and then leaped upon
it. The brakes stop moving and the fire
sends up new tongues and leaps along the
smoking beams and rafters in fresh fury,
while tlic men listened breathlessly to this
stranger. The women too gather nearer, and
look in curiosity at their husbands and
brothers who drink in so eagerly liis poisoned
words.
“I s'pose yc thought ye didn’t work long
enough for yer ninety cents a day. But ye
hev. Ay, boys, that big heap o’ brick stands
for that old man’s meanness; it's the machine
to crush ye. It’s the way he bleeds ve. But
how sweet ho is to-night. Ye never noticed
it before, did ye? He’s seed you a starvin'
on the wages ho paid, and yer purty darters
gone to the bad for the want of a few things
all gals kinder liko. Some on ye, too, has
got old and cripples in his service. Ileaint
ever guv a mite, has lie? Now it’s your
turn.”
And the man shouted loud above the hiss¬
ing, crackling flames that leaped out of a
dozen windows in wild glee. “Let his mills
burn fur a warnin’ to such as he who make
so much sorror and misery in this ere purty
world that if Satan tortured their cruel souls
forevermore, it wouldn’t be a feather in tho
balance. I/-t him know the despair of a
poor man for once.”
It was almost madness that glittered in the
fellow’s darting eyes, and his voice grew
hoarse and terrible as ho pointed liis thick
fingers at the mill half hid in smoke, lit up in
spots with forks of flame.
"I/'t every plank of it go. It's only-served
to make him richer each month, and yo
poorer. Such a machine as that don't de-
sarve to stand. Let his ric-hes he’s used so
poor turn to ashes tl.'; night. Tears and
prayin’couldn’t git equal rights for us; the
fire will (l'l it, though.”
Ezekiel Breton elbowed his way into tbeir
midst.
He had lost his hat, and stood pale in his
agony in the presence of the men who
thought he had wronged them. He was con¬
scious of no guilt; he had only made his
money as others made theirs; fairer, indeed,
than mere money lenders, who added noth¬
ing to the world's productions. He knew, of
course, tho ixior suffered, but a man can’t l>o
too squeamish, and the same road was ojien
to them that he had taken. And as for
wages, who could blame a man for getting
help as cheaply as he can? That is business.
Mr. Breton Knew but one argument I'oi
them.
“If you want pay,” ho shouted, “here is
money, a dollar an hour to each man.”
But hoc a face relaxed; ho looked fearfully
from one to another, and then up at the
grinning face of tho stranger, “only save
my mill.” The old man put up liis hand to
his white hair in a piteous gesture as he
glanced at the sheets of flame and lurid
smoke that shut off the sky above ills devoted
mill.
“See the fire grows every second, we are
lost unless you go to work ; 1 will pay ten
dollars an hour.”
The brakes began to move slowly up and
down. Philip felt the water throb through
tho hose ai it touched his side, but it was
only one fitful spurt, for the stranger, who
seemed to hold the mills at his mercy, had
found his voice again.
“Keep yer money, old man; you will need
every penny of it. for you've cheated yer last
out of yer help in them mills. Yer mill hez
got to go.” mills,
Philip saw his father turn toward his
the pride of his life, and look as fondly ut
their grim walls as a man on the woman he
loves, and the tears of futile agony net his
cheeks. That moment the young man aged
ten years.
The crowd fell back again, and anoth' r
speaker mounted the strange rostrum, lie
looked young for such a crisis, but there w as
a new suggestion of power in hi-' lips and the
sullen crowd wondered what he thought lie
could say to persuade them. if
“1 suppose,” began Philip slowly, as
every minute might not lie worth a fortim",
“I presume,” and his voice sounded dry and
hard, “you will want your wages as usual,
next pay day. Is there any one of you fool¬
ish enough to imagine you will get them if
the mills go?”
Then the young man glanced at the burly
stranger, who, clearly enough, was taken
aback by thi: new style of appeal to a crowd.
• Possibly 1 is broad shouldered friend <>f

“Mind, m< . 1 , I don't say but it is
fair, but mill owners manage their I i-
aixiut the same way. It is all very well
complain, but the first: ossify is a place ?
work; if there isn’t, that, you surely
have any rights. I may as well tell you,
mills are heavily insured, and you can't
have the rare satisfaction of seeing that
man ruined. But I doubt if he will care
put any more mills under such extra risks.
Some of your women and ignorant
who don't see the fun of starving, may
you have done a poor night's work.’’
The stranger had disappeared, and
faces of the men, clustered about their
gine. had lost their sullen cast. The
man's black eyes glistened in the new
of an orator's triumph. will do
"One thing I will promise. I
I can in your behalf. I know the lines

I promise if I can see a»v w;av to lighten

The men returned to tir:ir work *
murmur of approval. Was it too late?
Tho brakes started up again. The men
ran up tho ladders again, with the ho«e in
ir hands, in the renewed battle with the
fire. Philip had moved tho crowd. He bad
chosen instinctively the only method for the
crisis, while the flames crackled and flashed
in high carnival. But was it not too late!
The men were working with new energy;
now hopes were in their hearts. The mill
owner’s son had promised to help them; he
sympathized with their cheerless poverty,
^iid who could do more than he?
If the whole line of mills went it would be
upon their consciences, and the thought put
fresh Mrength into their weary arm# ami
more fearless courage into tlieir hearts. But
precious time had licea lost and the wind had
changed so that now the red. greedy tongue
of flame lapped tho frowning brick walls of
the next mill, ami lavished their hot, wanton
kisses as if it were love and not bate whose
fury would consume them.
When the moon was setting in the west ,
that night, Mr. Breton found his son all
grime with smoke, with clothes torn, and
drenched in water, out of all semblance to
the gentleman of elegant leisure, lie stood
by the smoldering ruins of Number Two
mill.
“Aren't you coining home to-night, Philip,
my dear i>oy? How proud Bertha would
have Iwen if she could have seen her hero to¬
night.”
Bertha! What a strange influence her
words and manner at parting had left upon
him; as if, some wav, in leaving her just
when he did, he had lost her forever. God
forbid! He could not shake it off; it was
with him ns he waited almost alone in the
great mill yard; all the excitement and re¬
sponsibilities of the night had not (lhqiellod
it. He looked dow n moodily into tho smok¬
ing mass of crumbled walls and roof and
blackened timlicrs, and watched for tho littlo
forks of flame that started up boldly, now
and then, as if it were not yet too late for a
now battle, and then seemed abashed at find¬
ing them- Ives alone in the dark, and sank
back.
“You have saved the mills,” said his father,
wringing li: bruised hand till it hurt him.
“God bless you, nay son. I didn’t guess how
much there was in you.”
Philip looked up at. tha scorched walls off
on the right, ami tho long pile of mossivo
structures away to the left, unshaken by tho
whirlwind of fire. In a few hours more they
would ! o alive with rushing belt# and wheels,
and with the feet of the men and women,
