CHAPTER XVII.
THE .NEW STOCK COMPANY.
r>i5f- 1h,J, C> P Breton’s T, erribI ° mind smls bore of suspicion the bitterest sown in
through the dreary winter fruits
of his will, months. No efforts
nor course of reasoning could corn-
tort him. For a moment he might find
lief, but his torment re-
would only return
atresh. Humanity are slow to believe good
of fellow creature., but nothing seemed too
bad to bo true. He thought it might have
calmed him to have been assured even of the
worst. He believed that he might despise
the woman ho had elevated to the highest
pinnacle of his ideal temple of womanhood,
if she had made so little of the most sacred
gift of God. But it would have been a vio¬
lence to his feelings to inquire of those who
must know. Her father must know, but bis
smiling ' e face will reveal nothing, and hi’s
9 reserve was peopled with horrors for
Philip. His wife Jane must know, too, but
he could not bear to think of the malicious
pleasure she would take in detailing the
shameful story to him. She would sate her
hate in his misery. But what if it were not
a shameful story! Still ho could not form his
lips to ask. The humiliation of such a ques¬
tion from him, a discarded lover, about her
at wnose feet he had been proud to sit
shocked him iuto silence. He even dreaded
lest they might speak to him of her, although
it had been months since he had heard Ber¬
tha’s name once breathed.
(>ne evening at tho very close of the winter
Philip Breton called a meeting of his help'
and the old market hall was packed from
door to platform. Reporters were planted
by their tables, to catch every word of the
mysterious proceedings. Representatives
from all the factories in the country elbowed
tho crowd for their three feet of standing
room, eager to learn some new device for
making money out of their help as good as
tho other. But the great audience was
strangely silent, ft knew not what to ex¬
pect. Perhaps the economical mill owner
was going to announce a new reduction in
their wages; everybody said he was reducing
everywhere. The feeling in their hearts was
more of fear than hope, and it was a look of
piteous terror, almost, that they cast at the
slight form in black, that came forward on
the platform. They reminded Philip of a
Reck of frightened sheep that had never had
a shepherd. Then he thought of a great
army massed before the smoking cannon
mouth, an army that had never had a gen¬
eral. He saw they feared him.
‘•I have been for a longtime trying to think
of some way to make your lives more fair for
you, and yet be fair to myself and my class.
I have been cutting on expenses to make tho
whole business machinery as economical as I
knew. Now, at last I am ready to take you
into my confidence and make you a proposal."
There was a stir in the great audience, as if
every man changed his position at the same
moment, so as to be sure not to lose one
precious word of the new gospel.
“I cannot feel that I ought to give you
anything. And I cannot see that it would be
reasonable to pay more wages than others
pay; that is, than you have now.”
A hush had fallen upon tho people like
death. There was no hope for them, then.
Still the speaker went on.
“But if your labor is profitable tp me, so
that I can pay you your price, and pay my
other expenses, and pay me for the time I
give to the business what such service as I do
is paid elsewhere, and (hen have something
besides’’-
The reporters dropped their pens in aston-
ment; was the man mod.'
“I am disposed to think that you have
earned a share in it.” He paused to eatci
his breath, and one could have heard a pin
fall in that crowded room. “My capital
should be allowed for, too. In a vronl, I pro¬
pose to divide the profits of iny lin'd, after
all expenses are paid, into two cqi.* 1 j arts
hereafter, one for labor, yours and in Ti, and
one for the interest on my money. Tbc part
which belongs to labor will bo distributed
according to the worth of each one's year's
work. The one that earns tho largest year's
pay will have the largest per cent, of that
divkkud Wo shall ali be stockholders
together, each with a share large or small ac¬
cording U. tho value of his work.”
Tho bn.filing trembled with the roar of ap¬
plause that went up, and it was several mo¬
ments before Philip could make himself
heard again. He had thought there was
nothing left in his life, with love gone out of
it, but as he stood that moment with (lieglad
shouts of the poor ringing in his ears, and felt
he had led them out of bondage, his heart
thrilled with a proud joy that was almost
eetasy. His wealth had brought him a hap¬
piness that made even a life like his worth
living, had conferred on him a glorious
sense of the dignity of manhood which lifted
him as on wings.
They must listen while he explained the
terms of his plan more fully. He motioned
to a dozen boys and took a printed sheet of
paper from the pile of similar sheets which
ho ordered distributed among the workmen.
He then read aloud the following from tho
paper in his hand:
The first divided will be distributed Aug. 1
for the year ending July 1. The surplus is
$200,000; $100,000 is set apart as the allow¬
ance for capital invested, which leaves $100,-
000, to be distributed to the labor in propor¬
tion to the wages or salary earned by each.
The whole amount of wages and salaries
earned in the mills was about $360,000. There¬
fore the rate per cent, of di vidend is about
27 7-10 to be calculated on the wages or salary
of each man, woman and child as shown by
the paymaster's book for the past year. For
example, the man whom the pay roll shows
to have earned $300 for his year's work,
will receive 27 7-10 per cent, on $300 in ad¬
dition. or about $80.10 as his dividend.
The paymaster, who received a salary
cf $2,000, will receive about $-544,
and as manager worth a salary of $5,000,
I shall receive more than twice the dividend
of the paymaster. Certain restrictions will
be imposed. First, only one-half of the an¬
nual dividend will fie in cash, for it
would hurt tiie interests of the mill
to withdraw so much from the busi¬
ness. The other half will 1* in stock,
which will draw dividends as tho rest of the
capital. Second, stock cannot be transferred
except to operatives, but will !*> redeemed at
the counting room, after notice, when
holders leave the mills, as stock will yield
dividends only while holders work in the
mills. Holders of stock may hold meetings
and choose a committee tociannne the l*x>ks
of the company,lief ore the annual distribution
of dividends.
When Philip Breton sat down a noisy hum
of voices followed as tho people read and
com meuren upon too prospectus, * no ngure*
looked anything but doll to theta. The bright
possibilitk* that came up before their imag¬
inations as they road were such as no gentle
cadence of poetry could have given them.
Apparently they would never have tired of
tvadiug the wonderful words of hope and
good cheer over and over, except that the
outer door swung open and a tail man’s form
entered. Philip Breton from the platform
saw it and the pride sickened on his heart.
Tho crowd alxmt the d<x>r jiassed the whisper
around, and it was hardly one short minute
yvheu the building shook again with cheers
as tliey shouted the name of Curran.
Yes.it was he yvho pushed his way well
into the room, and then stopped anil took
one of the printed sheets, as if he were un¬
conscious of their cheering, and read till his
face, that had looked so stern and terrible,
softened like a child. Then he mounted a
settee for his platform and uncovered his
bead with a new grace that became him as
well as his strength. The old bitterness had,
gone from his lips; it had given place to a
‘ouehing sadness that soliercd every face that
vas turned toward him.
“He means to deal well by you; he wants
ia l-ake you shareholders in your work.”
Philip had risen excitedly to his feet. The
sight of tho man who had been with Bertha,
w ho came perhaps but this instant frpni the
vomon he had wronged so terribly, was at
first almost maddening to him. Ah, how
grand and beautiful he was, with his deep
mighty chest and shoulders, and bis limbs
like pillars of some temple. There were no
laws for such men as he; the holiest and
purest of women love to make themselves
base and common things to win smiles from
his proud eyes, and men forget their venge¬
ance, and only rememlier how small and
mean they seem before him. But who could
look at his melancholy face and tho calm
dignity that rested upon him always, and be¬
lieve he could be vile? Yet perhaps nothing
was vile or low to him, and even sin was
glorified in his eyes when it suited his caprice
to sin.
Philip had come to the very edge of tho
platform and beckoned a friend to him.
“Do you see the man talking—the man with
tho auburn hair curling about his neck? no,
don't look yet;” his voice was husky with
excitement. “Get behind him while he is
talking and stop him before ho goes out. 1
must see him and speak with him; I would
rather $10,000 than lose him. Quick, now.”
As Philip sat down again and watched his
friend trying to make his way through the
close packed crowd he heard Curran’s voice
again. What was there clianged in it? It
had lost its old ring, there was a queer drag
in it sometimes, and when he used to raise
his voice till every nerve tingled for sym¬
pathy, he seemed now to let it fall, and his
long, sonorous sentences died down at the
end like a muffled bell.
“If others were like him,” he was saying,
“tho reform I would die for would come
soon, would tie upon us.”
How slow his friend moved. Philip actu¬
ally hated the people who were too stupid to
get out of his messenger’s way.
Had Curran finished, was this all that was
left of his eloquence? Yes, ho was stepping
down and moving toward the door. Philip's
friend was almost there, tho man must not
escape thus, and plunge again with the wo¬
man whose life he had blasted into the ob¬
scurity he seemed to love. Philip leaped to
his feet and almost shouted to the people.
All turned their faces expectantly toward
him, Curran with the rest his pale worn face.
Philip's friend was come almost to him now.
If Curran could only be detained for one
moment more.
“It will of coarse be for the interest of all
of you,” he knew he was talking weakly, but
it was no matter, “to earn the most wages
you can, to lose tho fewest days, to turn off
the most piece work.” Of course, he spoke
too stupidly; Curran turned on his heel and
moved toward the door. Almost instantly
then Philip Breton gave a sudden short how
to the audience and disappeared back of the
platform. He bounded down the narrow
stairs, four at a time, and rushed around to
the front of the building like one mad, to
stare for a moment in the faces of the escap¬
ing crowd. Then, wilder than ever at the
thought that Curran might have gone out
among the first, he ran back and forth
after one group and another, but all
in vain. Then he forced himself to
stop and think, and forthwith made
inquiries for Curran’s boarding place. He
reached the place at last and ran breath¬
lessly up the stairs. In another moment he
would know the truth if it killed him to bear
it. He must remove the poisonous shadow of
suspicion that was polluting all the holiest
precincts of his nature. Certainty was bet¬
ter far, for the nerves can brace themselves
against the clearly defined features of ever so
hideous a monster; far better certainly than
this crawling slimy terror that made him
•ashamed of a manhood that could cherish it.
He dared ask Curran for the truth, he did
not shrink from it. If the man were inno¬
cent he might strike him down for the insult
to the purity of his wife. Philip thought
such atonement would seem just and proper.
But if he were guilty, ah, if Bertha was
guilty through him what death was terrible
enough for his penalty!
A portly woman, with the unmistakable
expression of the expectant boarding mistress
on her face and in her attitude, met the pais
faced young man at the top of the stain HhS
did not recognize the proprietor of the Bre¬
ton mills, in his slight form. She would have
looked for a man of lofty stature and com
manding mien, and not a mere lad whom
nobody would glance twice at on the street.
“Where is Curran? I—I want him.”
“IVhy, he’s just gone; he drove off to Lew¬
iston.”
“To Lewiston? Are you sure?” Why, this
must bo some important personage after aU,
he was so peremptory. Poor people can bully,
but there is a shamefacedi iur an over af¬
fectation of authority that betrays them;
their seif consciousness lets the whole secret
out.
“Either Lewiston or Raleigh; I can't tell,
really, sir. Shall I get you a carriage, Mr.—
Mr.T
“Two horses and a buggy; a driver, too.
Tell them it is for Mr. Breton; anil." he
shouted after the woman, “if they give me a
poor horse he will bo dead before they ever
see him again.”
It seemed an hour before the horses drew
up before the boarding house door, and an¬
other hour before they hail left the village
behind. Then the little patience Philip had
forsook him. He caught the reins from ibe
astonished driver, and at the threatening
snap of the whip the horses took their fasb-st
gait.
It was a little past 9 o'clock the next morn¬
ing that Philip Breton, pale from a sleepless
night, knocked at a low studded door in an
ill ventilated tenement house, where they
told him Curran lived. W'ithin was Bertha,
the high bred woman, wonted to the costliest
luxuries of wealth. And she was willing,
then, to live in such squalor as this to lie
with the man she loved. Could change have
been cruel enough to have touched her? Per¬
haps an infant hung hungrily on her liosom,
and Curran, fallen back into his vulgar tradi¬
tions, lounged in red flannel shirt sleeves in
her presence. Could he bear the sight? But
she might be alone; his heart beat faster with
terror and hope. She would lift her sweet
eyes pleasantly to him—so easy it is for wo¬
men to forget the agony they have caused.
She would hold out her shapely hand to him.
but it would oe sctuiieu a«wa worn uxmi ciara-
«hipw. Should be faii at her feet? Would he
be able to remember she was another's—dead
to him?
He knocked again, possibly no one was at
home.
“Come in.* It was a man's voice.
As Philip opened the door he saw the man
he sought by the window, eagerly looking up
and down the street, as if waiting for some
sign. There was ryo guilty fear or shame iu
the calm face that was turner! t > isitor.
“Breton.” He gave him fi. . .id with
hearty good will. “Soro- tv i could not
speak last night, but you have begun a noble
work. Why, 1 I tail rather feel the proud sat¬
isfaction you must have, I would rather be
in your place than the greatest mail in the
whole world."
Philip was afraid to look about .m. lVr-
hapg Bertha had no wish to spea' to him, or
else she was not here; there was no atmos¬
phere of a woman's Jove and care in the
place, somehow. But Curran went on in his
quick, eager way, “The rich men have the
most glorions privilege ever men had. Each
man of wealth can let the fountains of light
and joy into the lives of a village ill some
w-ay which shall make his name blessed for¬
ever. Instead of that, whole generations of
us have to break ourselves in pieces in the
effort to wear away their r<x'k. We fail, as
the w retched 2,000 creatures who strike here
today will fail, to gain one privilege more
for ourselves, yet our children may profit
from our sacrifices, perhaps, or their children.
Anything is better than spiritless, eternal
submission.”
Philip released his hand from llie man's
clasp and turned to look about him. No wo-
nian’s shawl hung on the rack. Nohaby's shoes
or toys were iu sight. A man's rude hands bail
set the chairs in an awkward row. A man's
hands made the comfortless looking lied that
stood in one corner. There was no soft scent
of jierfume, such as Bertha would have left
behind her if she had but lately gone. Why,
Bertha could never have breathed for a
moment there. Dive can do much, but it
cannot make a woman over.
“Where is your wife?” Philip asked in a
low, breathless voice. “Bertha.”
sas m
“ Where is your u i fe t"
The eager look faded from Curran * face,
and his hluo eyes grew troubled. For
instant he did not answer, but stood
folded arms gazing out into the street.
“What is a wife?” he said at last.
woman who loves a man and lives in his love,
who pines in his absence and listens to
coming of his foot steps, as the
music in the world to her; to whom all
gifts of life would lie nothing without
to whom poverty and disgrace would
their liatefulness if ho shared them. A
is a sweetheart, a hundred times tenderer
happier.” His voice grew “No, bitter and
for a moment as ho added, I have
wife, Bertha has left me.”
He heard a shout, and a score of
forms rushed by his window. He
from tho window in a sudden passion of
citement.
“The strike has begun. What pity do
rich deserve? Even their women are
only to break honest men’s hearts. They
beautiful as the angels of heaven and
and pitiless as the angels of hell.”
“But wait,” cried Philip, catching him
the arm. Curran had not yet spoken
longed for words to protect Bertha's
from the insult of another suspicious thought.
But a shout rolled up from the street,
another and another in quick succession.
Curran shook him off and, catching his
from the table, sprang down the stairs.
