And see how skilfully he shapes the Iron! Ihe strength of a giant, the delicate touch of a woman—It Is grand!” "Well, I’m blessed If 1 chn see It that way." rejoined the man. "Far from seeming romantic. It looks to me as though the fellow might as well be In prison as be compelled to spend his time doing that ktnd of work, course. I suppose they arc used to ihls sort of labor—and homebody has to do it—but I can’t say I care to see them at It—anyway, on a fine day with fresh air and a lively spin awaiting

A general impression exists that • farms for the production of diamond hack terrapin of the choicest quality have not been profitable in the long run. The finest "counts” of turtle nobility have scornfully refused to develop their most delicate flavor when cabined, cribbed, confined. But the l catsrprising promoter of a frog farm V deserved success even if she did fall 'gbort of the complete frhltlon of his hopes. Fat batrachian legs appeal to the fancies of epicures, and •’strictly fresh” tlt-blts of that kind, like "strictly fresh" eggs, ought always to be in demand. Yet a frog fanner of renown has recently gone into bankruptcy. What could the maUer be?

One of those subjects that generally •eem too elusive for careful examination is nailed down by Life to a question and an answer. “How good a time does it pay to give a young girl Just -out In society? A mother was beard to say the other day: “My daughter does not seem incllneJ' to marry. She has too good a time as she is. So do Clara Jones, and Olivia Robinson, and other glrla of her time 'and set They don’t seem to be marrying girls. They have too good a time!" —Many observers are familiar with the aftnatlon this lady has described. Yet Deserving parents continue to strain tbrir resources and lavish their strength in order that their young dasgbters may have the time of their lives In society. 'What must they think of their labors and sacrifices hen they End that their girls are all too happy as they are. and arc highly c-onteoted with the untrammeiod Single state? The better policy may be to keep like ly young women so restrained that they will look about and take thought bow they may impiwe their condition. To make llfe .so dull for them that they are tempted to elope with the coachman would be a mistake, but the mistake American parents are prone to make U of the other kind, and resalts in the conclusion by the over- J indulged maiden that the chances are j against 1 her bettering her condition t!y 11 changing it. That state of mind usually does not last forever, but It may easily last until the whom-ahall-I-bave period has given place to wbo-is-there-left, and then one's condition may not - he so readily improved." >*■

Just the shadow of impatience creased-the girl's lace at this speech, but she laughed merrily md continued her way through the shop. It was Ida's first visit to the great works of which her father was the owner. She had been reared in the exclusive atmosphere of wealth, and her vision had not reached much beyond her fathcr'a palatial mansion, the theatres, the other palatial mansions In "our set,” and the Continental tour. Of course, she knew about the great mills, but heretofore to her they had been simply acres of gloomy, smoking prisons, from which there was wrested the money that bought all the good

things.

On this pleasant day In the early autumn, wearied with the conventional round of pleasures and pastimes with which she waa surfeited, and somewhat aroused by a novel she had been reading, which dealt with the world of workers, she had determined to see the Inside of those great smoky shops and find just what was going on there end the manner of men who lived

among them.

Her father had laughed at her whim, ani as he had not time that day to go with her; Philip Hammond acted as her escort. Philip waa her constant champion—her destined husband —the son of Mr. Norton’s life-long

friend, a successful hanker. It waa but a moment after the

venation recorded between Mlsa Norton and Mr~Hammond that an acci-

dent occurred.

At that instant the blacksmith made a lunge at a revolving wheel, caught two of the Iron spokes and braced his stalwart legs. ned as though he would be thrown against the machine beyond— but no, the wheel stopped with a jerk. • The muscles of the blacksmith's arms and chest stood out like whip-

cords.

"Quick, toys, quick!” he cried; "I can’t stand this long." He had no need to urge. Already two workmen had hoisted a third to their shoulders, and he pulled the victim from the wheel, with one arm badly crushed, but alive. /rten the blacksmith let go the wheel end the machinery started to prhli and buzz. The men crowded about him, uttering congratulations. "Well. I'm blest. Joe. You Mike from bein' made into mincemeat that time. I didn’t think it could be done. By Jove. Joe, I’d like to hare

yonr muscle.'*'

These and similar compliments were .fired tt him as he turned with a broad

grin to the forge. .

Directly In his way stood a beautiful girl with blam-hed face, her great brown eyes swimming with tears. "Oh. sir, I want to say that you are the bravest and strongest and quickest man I ever saw. I cannot thank you too much. 1 was afraid he would be

crushed to death."

He flushed to the roots of his hair. "It was nothing. m:*s." he said. "Any of the men would have done it." 12111 evening Ida went over the scene with ner father. Hejarfw all about and told her that the rescuer

was Joseph Madera.

"One of the best men we hare." he said warmly. "A thorough mechanic and an inventor. We keep him at the forge because there Is a particular part of the machine that baa to be dene by band, and Madera does It better than anybody else. Few men have the strength and skill combined to do

He stood looking, at her as In ^ dream. She swayad, and fell Into blfl*

arms.

•That’s what It dots mean." she whispered. "You arc the only real man I ever saw.” There was a dreadful scene when Madera spoke to Mr. Norton, but he sturdily told bis employer that he had been accepted by Ida and they were going to i-iarry with or without parental consent Mr. Norton summoned bis daughter and she corroborated the statement of her plebeian lover. Then Mr. Norton told them that the girl bad not a penny In her own right, and If she married Madera shq nevei would have. To which Matern replied that that pleased him exactly. They were married.
