But life in the mines, he decided, was too hazardous and he told his sons, Jo- seph, Jr., and Albert, that he would never permit them to enter a mine shaft. His determination that his echild- ren should seek their fortune else- where was strengthened when he was injured at his work a year ago. Two months ago, when Albert was looking for a job, the elder Mizeny sent him to Chicago, away from the peril of the coal mines. The oth- er son already was employed there. Tuesday, Mizeny received word from Chicago that Albert, who was 20 years old, was fatally injured in a steel plant accident. The boy died Monday.

It so happened that on the very day Mr. McPhee had seen some disturbing news om the stock ticker, his own deaf and dumb barber was not available, so he went into the shop of Nicolai Feretti, the silver-tongued orator of the Wells street tonsorial parl- ors. Feretti began his without delay, mixing comments on the weather, sports, erop con- ditions, social scandal, crime, ete. with suggestions that McPhee sore- ly needed a shampoo, a hair tonic, a singe, some mange cure, a mani- cure and other things along that line. McPhee, still bitter over the adverse turn in the strk market, endured the flood of language un- til the towels and shrouds were removed, and then he clipped the loquacious Feretti squarely on the tip of the ehin, causing him to bite through his under lip. Then he threw a dollar on the chair and went out without saying good-hy. Three weeks elapsed and the in- cident had passed out of McPhee's mind when he stepped into the Geb tonsorial parlors In Madison street to' have his beard and hair trimmed, Absorbed in a financial news sheet, he gave no thought to the harber operating on him until he felt the keen bite of a razor along the back of his neck. Then the top of his ear mysteriously dis- appeared and he felt something warm spilling over his collar. He boupded out of the chair and swung on the barber. Then, after the police came and pried them apart, McPhee discovered that he had knocked out Feretti for the sec- ond time. "He sock me on jaw three weeks ago," sald Feretti, "Now I take leetle bite off his earn. Dat make us square."
