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, X \ \ \ \ \ ' PA m M ' * lu I4, j&JI ' Ms} W (& A. Than!; (>o l, he could save her from such a fate. 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 his li; ■ r moved till the cure was com¬ plete! ; ; • threw back the iron, and grind¬ ing hi, t <-ih iu liis agony turned on bis beel and wc .t out.

CHAPTER VIII. HIS MISTAKE. Tt was quite dark when the carriage turned last bend in the winding road homeward tho lights of Bretonville caine into view. lights in the windows of the poor danced to meet the tired horses as gayly as any. might have been a sobbing woman the cheeriest of them all; nature no children sympathy for human suffering. If poor have no rest and joys their must break; that is one of nature’s Neither can light lose its gladness and because gladness and cheer are so ab¬ out of place in poverty stricken homes. indeed!

But save the word them at least, for a time when it shall be a 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¬ It was but two minutes more when drew up short at the mill yard gates, escape the engine which swept by with a dragged by a crowd of shouting men. 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 shouted the foreman. answered "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 yours is goiu to find a living for yon. A i , have got to find it somewhere, and j on v i have particuiarly good characters to mend you to uw tyrants. “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 most of you have fallen into bard places, I promise if I can see a»v w;av to lighten burden ot ate on your Ruottiner* 1 w»;t tu-.p you.” with 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, telling how strange it was there was a place left for work today. Yes, ho had saved them, “but at what price?'’ lie spoke half to himself. If he only knew what Bertha had meant. “What price? Oh, your promise to do what you could for tho men and all that. It was guardedly put, my boy.” And his father laughed appreciatively. “Inexorable parent must be considered, though, ha, ha. You will catch your death of cold.
