ambition to be a largo pity The one manufacturing plant estab lished seventyfive years before pave employment to well on to a thousand men and this body of thrifty wage earners meant prosperity to small mer chants of the place aud to tin farmers on lie outskirts Life went on serenely in Lester it was a temperance and was but- rarely that a violation of the law was serious enough to he chronicled in the lowns Paper Perhaps it was because life as a whole moved on so serenely that Hie wreck was still an in teresting topic of fcortversation Iwenly years after it had occur red It had been a calamity of nil sua magnitude for at time speed mania had not mul tiplied of the sort and the populace were not hard ened to Ihe of towering headlines reporting the number of dead in three figures The New York express had collided with an excursion train just the town with the hor rible results to be expected was just about the early bed- lime favored in the town Of IhlKty working people but there was little sleep in Lester Hint flight The grandchildren of James loved to hear him tell of the little boy he had found sob bing beside the tracks had been helping in the gruesome work that had left him white and sick and last when new helpers earne he had felt that he might be spared He turned as root Will such limes whether he could sleep again and as he moved toward home he stumbled over a boy With an exclamation the man stopped holding the lantern by whose light he had been working dose the hoys face The lad sat sobbing his arms folded lightly his childish face unnatur ally drawn and haggard Mr Wilcox saw- at once that the boy not injured except for the shock no slight danger to sensitive child He put hip arms about him tenderly hurt you did The childs arms went about his neck as he stopped and dun tightly In an almost strangling embrace The warm heart of Ihe man went out in answer to the unspoken appeal Im going to lake you home Willi me This isnt any place for little boys MolhcrTl you up and make you comfortable Though was long past mid night Mr Wilcoxs home was brightly lighted Even the child ren could not sleep The older boys bad gone down to the wreck The younger children came galloping to the door at the sound of their fathers footstep At the sight of the child in his arms questions followed one another in quick succession Who is he pa Whats his name Is he going 10 live with us Mr Wilcoxs gesture counsel led less curiosity He set the Utile stranger on his feet and the boy hid his face against hi rescuers sleeve Hither he was naturally shy or the experiences of the night had been too for bis nerves I wouldnt too many questions the father said That aint polite Mother shouldnt wonder if he could drink a glass of milk Thus reminded of their man ners the small Wilcoxes became of deportment No morv questions were asked Mrs Wil cox brought tho milk and little Ham appeared with a tin horse mounted on wheels which had outlasted the more of his Christmas gifts The lit tle stranger looked through half- closed eyes Ive a rockinghorse he said suddenly ami that ended the formality He slipped from Mr Wilcoxs knees and began lo ex amine the tin horse wilh the fitr of a Mrs Wilcox moved nearer her husband Shouldnt they go to bed she whispered I guess it will do him good to awhile he whispered hack lill kind of distract his mind from what has happened And so the played about the floor and husband and wife conversed in whispers and at last little Ham went to sleep In the midst of the construction Of a castle That was as an Indication thai it was to send the flock to bed Rut Ihe little darkeyed stranger could not sleep Hearing him crying softly in the night Mr Wilcox climbed out of bed wrap ped himself in a blanket and told his little guest stories till dawn morning the friends of the unfortunates on both trains had begun lo arrive Mr Wilcox took tho boy lo the station immediate ly after early breakfast Ho had made one or two tentative ef forts to learn something about him but as his inquiries had re- suited in bringing on attacks of convulsive weeping he had giv en up the effort for the time And as ho sat at the station with the boy on his knee and doing his best to distract his attention from the horrors there had been no time to conceal a tall man one of a party of new arrivals pounced upon the lad and bore him away Mr Wilcox looking at the wistful face gazing back at him over the broad shoulder tried to give little fellow a friendly parting smile Kind of funny I dont even know his name he mused Well I never will now And llien ho roused himself for plenty if work was wailing for gentle hands and stout hearts That was twenty years before The children who had played the guest in night watches wore men and women some of them with children of their own Mr Wilcoxs figure was slightly bowed His black hair was streaked with gray Looks like Im growing old Mr Wilcox sometimes said when he looked hi the glass but I feel as as Life had been good to him and even while it sprinkled his hair with frost it had left his heart strong and buoyant Then all at once the rumor be came diffused that it was pro lo move the factory not only from Lester hut to a dif ferent State At first the word was received with amused in credulity What dye think the old Major would have said to that Mr Wilcox asked his sons with a chuckle The Major was the founder of the plant and his body rested in the little cemetery on the knoll above the river though his descendants had not been seen in the town for forty years He was as proud of Lester as he was of the factory Ive heard my father tell that there wasnt a town in the State to compare withlesler in natural advantages Hut the rumors proved persis tent It appeared in the city pa pers It started out of unexpect ed corners There was no more laughing in Lester over the news little for any reason Nine out of ten of the thrifty owned their own homes They saw themselves left ill a town where there was no wort to be had but trying to sell proper ly which all at once become val ueless- A few were al ready for sale forerunners of a panic II was a time when grave faces were seen everywhere and the talk that on on the street corners or in the homes was as somber as the November sky lames did not know why the conviction grew among his fellow workmen ho was the man to go to the city and plead with owners of the fac tory for the preservation of Les ter Four generations of the Wilcox family had contributed lo the prosperity of the company faithful works The troubled anxious men were willing To grasp at any straw The sugges tion made in the beginning only half in earnest became a pas sionate hope James Wilcox could not say no though when he left the town where he was horn upon his errand he had 111111 hope of success In the city things were even more discouraging than ho hid feared His childlike intention of seeking out the descendants of the old Major and explaining case to them was made to appear hopelessly Impracticable ami oui of the question In the city of- lice of the company he was pass ed from one to another without finding an opportunity to do Ills errand Finally he wos referred to the Arms attorney and when he had located him not without difficulty he was given an for Ihe following day in the early afternoon this time he difficulty getting a hearing had sapped his meagre supply of Ho kept his appointment resolved lo do his best for Lester but wilh the helplessness of assured de feat Mr the lawyer was a middleaged man with an air of fully realizing his own import- Lester years and never a strike Wages had gone up and down with good limes and bad but never a Change the service was pros perous but Ann was rich Wilcox left his hearers to decide on which side the weight of ob ligation lay Then he look another line Ho lOldof the little homes in Lester of them owned by the factory employees The re moval of the factory Would ren der then useless He was plead ing for himself and his hoys as well as for his neighbors and his voice was not steady And at length ho came lo an awkward halt somehow it was to talk than to stop And then the lawyer had his say Mr Gregorys reply dealt will generalities James Wilcox beard vaguely something about the keenness of modern industri al competition and the advantage of proximity to a market When Ihe smoothly flowing voice ceas ed he looked up rather dazed guess I may be kind of thickheaded about it he ex plained but I sort Of gathered from your remarks that the fac tory would leave Lester Is that the way of it ft fore Ihe lawyer could reply the young man who had been an interested listener interrupted with a Singular question Excuse me have you a son named Sam Mr Wilcox turned He met the younger mans frank gate with a stare of candid surprise Why yes sir Sams my youngest hoy And there was girl- Belly I think her name was We used to call her that Now she wants called Eliza- both His weary eyes were full of perplexity cant seem lo remember The young man the room and held out his hand So your name Is Wilcox I have often wondered Dont you remember the little hoy you
