When the major came home and announced that he had secured the contract for section 12 Miss May applauded and sald: “You will want a bookkeeper and & paymaster, and | will serve as both.” “But you don't understand what sort of help I must employ,” he re- plied. “Foreigners, and mostly Itallans. It will be a tough crowd, but that doesn’t scare me.” “Too tough a crowd for a girl to be mixed with. 1 shall count myself lucky to get along with a row every two weeks. | am told that 1 can’t Carry my contract through, do the best I can.” “Don’t you believe It, daddy.

But he did not. From the time the work began until the office of the con- tractor was ready to step into, Miss May spent most of her time on the ground, suggesting and bossing, and when the hour arrived she took off her hat and gloves and opened the books and pocketed the key of the: safe. “Wait until you see the sort of laborers that are coming!™ sald the major as he shook his head. Two days later 300 men arrived— Italians, Slavs and Huns. They had their own quarters, but they could not fall to hear of the girl's presence. In- deed, she must come and go in thelr full sight. one or two men dominated all the others. One of the leaders visited the office to say to the major: “Why you have the girl here?” “She 18 my daughter.” “It makes no deeference. No girl should be here. She makes mistakes and we are cheated.” “When you think you have been cheated come and tell me so0.” “But the men don't like it. You must get a man to take her place.” Two or three of the unsuccesful bidders had evidently tampered with the men with a view of getting up a strike at the very outset. It was a puerile excuse they advanced, and it aroused the major into saying: “I shall not get a man. If you want to raise a row go ahead'" “It f¢ not me, but the men.” “Tell them to strike at any hour they want to!" “Bully for you, daddy'" exclaimed the daughter as the fellow left the of- fice “I didn’t want you to come, but I am not going to let them run you out They won’t strike until they can find a better excuse.” the new railroad ran parallel with the highway for a mile and as Miss May rode to and fro she received black looks and heard men cursing under to pay any attention to ft.

Miss May was bathing her father’s wound when the whooping re-com- menced and the rocks began to pelt. It was only a temporary structure, and the splinters soon began to fly ! Amidst the fusilade the leader of the mob was heard shouting: “Come out here—we want you! If you don’t come out we'll try dyna- mite.” “And I'll try bullets!” said the girl to herself as a rock came tarough the window and missed her head by an Inch. There were hoots of derision as the soldier’s daughter rested the barrel of her revolver on the sill of the same window and pulld the trigger. She fired low, to take her targets in the legs, and out of six bullets five drew : ! Everybody Orders howls of pain. The mob broke back at her shooting, lugging off the wound- ed, and after an interval of ten min- | utes the leader approached under ' cover of a flag of truce and called out: “Open the door to us or we use dy- 1 namite and blow you all to —*" No answer was ventured, and in a quarter of an hour the mob was ready to carry out the threat. One side of the ofice was without windows, thus that would have rent everything to pleces when the panting and pale and next moment the popping of re- volvers. The cook had obeyed orders nobly.

The strikers came back after two or three days. and the major's con- tract was finished without further troudble. The wounded legs went to the hospital to be cured in time, and in time the warrior-father made reply to a question: “Yes, by George, take her!” And some time after peace had been restored the leader of the strik- ers was heard saying to the man who | was creeping up to place the dyna- mite that day: “You fool—I fool—all fool but the young laidee.
