Fred F‘nxon‘(s‘gbd 'on the girder that formed the street side of the empty quadrangle that in due time would be- come the sixteenth floor of the Chim- neystack building. Over his shoulder was balanced an empty keg. He leaned forward slight- ly, with his eyes fixed on & man who was fanning the flames in a porta- ble furnace some distance to the righ{ on the floor below. Suddenly the man dropped the han- dle of the bellows, caught up a pair of ongs, apd snatched a heavy white- %)T f‘fvel Trom the heart of the fire. 6 leahed back to gather strength; then, with scarcely a glance, tossed the rivet upward. " Fred bent slightly, shifted his keg an inch or two to the left, and the rivet fell squarely into the keg, struck against its sloping inner side, and fell dead to bottom. Thg moment he felt it strike Fred turned and ran like a ggulg_rel_, leaning slightly fo balance the thrust of the wind, along the six- inch girder to where two men were riveting a floor beam intoc place. One of them, the bucker-up, picked Flvet from the keg and thrust it upward, still sparkling hot, through the holes which had been bored for it months before and hundreds of miles away. Then, with his dolly-bar, he' bore up against it, holding it firmly in place while the pneumatic-gun man mashed another head upon it with a volley of staccato thuds. Meanwhile, Fred had run back to his post and stood ready to catch an- other rivet. The wind tore at him, but he heed- ed 1t no more than he did the roar of the traffc which rose to his ears from the stony street, 200 feet below. He had been catching white-hot bolts hurled at him from varying dis- tances for more than three years, and, being young and apt, had learned his work 80 well that it had become me- chanical. He canght the rivets and ran along the dizzy spiderweb of gird- ers and floor beams as easily and in- differently as a ball player catches a ball and runs the bases. On this particular day he had other things to think about. His ambition ~ was to be a “‘gun-man”—to wield the pneumatic hammer that mashed the second heads on the rivets and bound the floor beams and the girders into a solid whole. Gun-men got better pay than rivet- catchers, and Annie West had prom- ised to marry him the minute he got his promotion; so he wanted both badly. In the ordinary course of events, however, he could not hope for such ' a post for several years, and by that time anything might happen. Annie might even marry big Bill McSween, bully and tough though he was. But his chance had come at iast. The high wagee paid for rebullding San Francisco after the great earth- quake and fire had drained the Bast of structural iron-workers and made room for scores of younger men who had learned the alphabet of the difi- cult trade, and the growth of tle whole country had preveated the de- mand from slackening. That very morning, Casey, foreman of construction on the Chimneystack building, had called together the half dogen rivet-catchers In his force and had told them that Mr. Fulton, trav- eling superintendent of the great Ful- ton Construction company, would be at the building the next day, and would select the most capable young- ster he could find to'go West with him to help in the gun-work on a new building in Chicago. “'Tis the great opening it is for one of you boys,” declared Casey. “The great opening entirely! Sure, Chicago is where the company lives when its at home, and it's a fine chance you'll have to make good with the bosses. “It's mighty little there is to choose between you, as far as work goes, and I'll make no recommendaticns and let Mr. Fulton pick for himself. Think it over today, boys, and Tet me know tonight whether it's go or stay here in New York you'd rather.” Ten minutes later, as Fred climbed the ladders to his post, he felt a touch upon his shoulder, and turned to race big Bill McSween. “Say!” growled Bill. “Say, Faxon, I want that job. See! And I smashes the face of anyone that gets it away from me. See! I'm sorry you got engagements that keeps you in New York and gotter decline. See!" Fred rose instantly to the situation. Physically he was no match for Bill, who was two years older, 20 pounds heavier, two inches taller, and was an amateur pugilist besides. Clearly the case was one for diplomacy. “How in the world did you know, Bill?” he demanded smilingly. Bill grunted. “Qh, I reckoned your health wouldn't let you leave here,” he answered with labored significance. “And don't you make no mistake, Fred Faxon. When I go, I take Annle West with me. y» Fred laughed. “Sure, it you can get her to go,” he anewered. “She won't do it. Shell stay here and marry me.” “Humph! I'll show you™ “Do!” Fred grew excited. “Look hers, Bill McSwee” he said, “you're no friend of mine, and I don't owe you anything. I could get this job it 1 wanted it “I've got a hunch how to get it, but on't want it; and I do want to get ;o‘:x out of town. So I'm golng to turn my bunch over to you—if you it” w.;l‘ll glared at Fred suspiciously, but the Iatter met his eyes so frankly that his misgivings faded. * “Wot is 1t?” he demnndied. : d looked round cautiously. ’!?‘Ir.lesten!" he whispered. “Father used to work under Mr. Fulton, and he told me about him. He's a per- fect crank on that new slloy, nickel- steel. When he comes round tomor- row say something to one of the boys about nickel-steel alloys for something or other—rivets will do. Say it so he'll hear you, and he's dead sure to take notice. “If you get another chance, 8ay something else about it—that it would make rivet-heads mash better, for in- stance. Do this two or three times it you can, and he's safe to pick you. He can't help it. Nickel-steel 18 like whisky to him. You'll gee.” Bill nodded slowly. < “I've heard of nickel-steel,” he d&i clared. “But I don't know much about it. I'll try what you say, but"—with sudden flerceness—"dop’t you try no tricks, Fred Faxon. If you're givin’ me the wrong steer, you better look out for yourself; that's all.” That afternoon Casey, the foreman, scratched his head reflectively as five of the six youngsters to whom he had spoken declined tue job on one plea or another. “So yourself’s the only one who wants to go, is it, McSween?” he pon- dered. “Well, it's no fault I have to find with your work, and I'll tell Mr. Fulton so if he asks me. But I mis- doubt but he’ll be wanting more than one to choose among.” The next morning Casey was taking Mr. Fulton over the building. From oL gang of riveters to another they weat, watching the work of each. As they came near Bill McSween, that individual was passing a rivet down to the bucker-up. “Say'!” he remarked loudly. “Say, these bolts don’t hold their heat, seel It they’d put some nickel-steel in them, I bet they'd do better.” The bucker-up stared; but Bill noted that Mr. Fulton had stopped and was regarding him closely, and felt en- couraged. A few moments later, when he came back with another rivet and found the superintendent still watch- ing him, and listening earnestly the while to something that Casey was saying, he was delighted. “Them bolt-heads would mash better if'they had some nickel-steel in ‘em,” he observed to the gun-man, who ak most dropped his tool in his amasze- ment. Unheeding, Bill was about to follow up his words with another remark, when he saw Mr. Fulton nod to Casey and start rapidly away. “Well,” he muttered to himself, “I got in two good licks at him, anyway.” When the whistle blew for quitting- time, McSween looked round for Fred, but did not see him; so he hurried down the ladders, eager to know his fate. Casey spied him coming, and called him over. “Step into the office, McSween,” he ordered, “and get your time. I'll not be wantin’ you any more.” Bill stiffened with amazement. “Do I get the Chicago job?” he de mandea. “Job? Naw! An’ it's little likely you are to get omne till you get over that fool crank of yours about nickel- steel. Where you picked up that rot 1 dunno.” “Picked it up?” he yelled. “Me! Wait till I find Fred Faxon, and I'll show him where I picked it up.” “Fred Faxon, is it?” A slow grin dawned on the Irish- man’s face. He théught he saw an ex- planation of the thing, “And what's Fred Faxon been say- ing to you?” he demanded. “Aw! tell me now. I want to know.” Furiously, Bill explained. When he :’“d finished, Casey laughed long and uud. “Falth, "tis the best joke I've heard for many a day, 8o it 1s,” he chortled. “Do you know what Faxon did? He come to me this mornin’, an’ he says, says he: ‘Mister Casey,’ says he, ‘I'm sure we all like McSween and want him to get that Chicago job,’ says he. ‘So I want to ask you, he says, ‘not to mention nickel-steel to him when Mr, Fulton is round. T *“‘I've known Bill for years’ he, ‘and he's plumb crasy on nicker steel, He was in the crazy-house for six months once,’ says he, ‘for that very thing; and he's liable to have to 80 .back, if he gets excited about it The doctor says 80,’ says he, “That's what Fred says; and then he goes off, an’ it's little 1 thinkg about it till you begins to talk about nickel- steel; an’ then I saw mighty plain that I couldn’t put a craz; 'Y man off on Mr..
