Is and the men stripped to their waists are throwing great chunks of black coal Into the firebox while the sweat runs In dirty streams down their backs Til begin there said the young man pressing his lips together and squaring his broad athletic shoulders You wilt eh exclaimed the older man looking keenly at his visitor I Well Ill notify the foreman to j lake you on You had better go out and buy a pair of and a jumper although 1 am afraid you will not work long enough to make the I money pay for TJiank you said Stephen politely and left the office The old man as he was commonly known through- works chuckled at the c transformation which one day in the furnace pit would make in the- appearance of the fastidious college graduate The young fellows determination however had appealed to him and he notified his foreman to keep eye on the new man and If he stuck to his task In the furnace pit for a week to put him In the main shop and see what there was In him Three or four days after he happen ed to think of young Wright and de cided to know how he was getting along for something about the young man interested him In spile of his appearance Oping into the works proprietor climbed down Into the furnace room Looking along the line of Blockers he saw Stephen Wright was not among them The shop own er smiled disdainfully Just as l expected he muttered There Is nothing In these college fellows On his way back to the office lie met the foreman That young fel low I sent down the day he remarked didnt last long I sec Oh yes replied the foreman He stuck to his work all right hut every noon he was around the ma chinery asking questions of the men wtio ate their dinners here and show ing ho much Interest that I decided to bring hint in from the pit right away He Is too smart a boy to be handling coal Rather queer chap fussy about his clothes and all that but he has the making of a machinist In him Humph Was extent of the employers comment as tie walked very thoughtfully back to his desk A year passed Mr Martin soon forgot about Stephen- Wright He hod other and much more Important mai lers engage his mind His business was going badly He had suffered several severe loss es and was worried about Hie future An exceptionally large contract for mill machinery was about to be let lie had expected confidently secure contract without difficulty and had anticipated making a large profit Through certain business channels however he hud Just learned that a I rival firm was planning enter a much tower bid than he could Hardy make and he was going over his fig ures for Ihe fifth time one iiuinifng striving to discover some Item which could be cut when the foreman ap peared at the door The man hesitat ed before making the errand known then said finally I do not know that I ought bother you with mai ler but one of men In works has Invented a device to he used In connection with manufacture of mill machinery which he claims win reduce Ihe cost Here Hie plans and specifications drawn I haw beep over them far as I see what he proposed to do Is entirely pnirllriil Mr Martin hail listened to em ployees statement the closest attention anil had almost snatched the papers from bin hand as he finished It was the rye practical machinist which blip sheits and took hi tall of the drawings That Mr Martin found satisfaction In what he saw was evidenced from the which play ed about his and the indications of suppressed excitement which Ills man ner betrayed- Suddenly lie turned to the foreman who had been watching him with surprised Interest Send here he command ed who made these drawings 1 want to talk to The hurried away and the manufacturer again bent over the papers He chuckled while he read ami he finished the last sheet for the second lime lie brought his down on the dcBk with a bang which bottle rattle Ill get that contract he and looked up to see Stephen Wright very quietly watching him an amused smile uponhls smoothly shaven face The young man rooked neat and trim in spite of the and Jumper he wore What do want demanded Mr Martin impatiently The foreman said you wished to see me sir was the quiet reply Wished to see you- thundered the man at the desk What does ha mean by that The person I want to see Just at present fs the man who originated this device and drew these plans I am the mn sir was Stephens reply What is that you say demanded older man half rising from his chair Is this your work Well well my boy I shall have to admit that I misjudged you You are a genius all and I am a crusty old man who cannot realize that the new generation may be just as smart as their fathers if they do not have quite the same way of looking at things But how did you hit upon this Idea Well sir said Stephen well pleased at the thrn affaire had taken I always have had a love for ma chinery I shaped my whole college course with the Idea of learning every thing possible about mechanics In a historical and practical way This Idea came to me soon aft er I entered the shop but I have been months in developing and working out the details Well well the owner of the works again I did not make a mistake that time After all how ever It may have been a good thing for you lo begin at the bottom Now wilt you allow me to buy or lease the device I appreciate your kindness my hoy and I will tell you frankly this means a great deal more to me Just at this particular moment than at any other time for It will result in making It possible for me to secure one of biggest contracts which has come to these works for years I will send for a lawyer and have papers drawn up which will fully protect you in this matter The old man hesitated a moment Then he turned placed his hand on the shoulder of the young machinist and added When you go
