Yet, strangely enough, Noran O'Grady felt no inclination to triumph over her enemy, but a new and tender feeling crept into her heart. Meantiine Bridget Callahan filled the atr with the sound of her lamentations, now sobbing, now pleading, now railing at those about her. “An’ are ye men, an’ stand there idle, with three or fellow perishin’ so near, an’ not & hand that Us Lo save him!

As the woman's shrill coy of denunclation reached his ears he might have been seen to remove the pipe from his lips for a moment and sinile grimty to himself like one who hears a compliment intended for him, al hastened to acknowledge it. But Mrs. Callahan had no sooner set foot on the ladder than a heavy hand fell on her shoulder, and a gruff voice Sounded in her ears, “Bac She looked up and recognized him, and her face grew red as a lobster with contending em10- ions. “Oh, It’s you, Patrick O'Grady, 13 1t7” she crled out, i a shrill voice. “Let go Of me.

He Hung off Lis coat and unbutioned his collar, bar- ng his huge, muscular throat. “Some rope!” he shouted, A coll of rope fell at lis feet. He caught up a hose, hanging over a bed of mortar close by, and turned a spray of water into the dark pit, at the same time saturating his handkerchief with the water and binding it tightly about his mouth and nostrils. ‘Then, with the rope knotted around him, & word to the mien who were to pay Itout, and a parting kiss to his wife, he stepped upon the lad- der and commenced the descent. Nora O'Grady, ner heart wrung with terror, stood on the brink and saw him go. To his death, she thought, and tried to frame some prayer for him, Dui her white lips remsed to move, Stand- ing there, on the threshold of what she felt must be the trigedy of her life, she became suddenly aware of the curious eyes bent upon her, and of the absurd spectacle She presented In her calico Wrapper and With the child's hat on her head. She knew that she had sent her busband to bis doom, and sae must not leave the place where she could’ see bis dead body when the men pulled it up; Dut she tried to settle the jaunty hat Into some expression of propriety, and fumbling with her belt, strove to arrange the folds of her wrap- per. ‘ in the midst of her awkward struggle a mantle Seemed to descend upon her from the heavens.
