The original Idea of mutiny against

Payne hesitated. The arnn of Grady
still swung like flails, now and then a
heavy body crashing to tho floor under
the force of those pile driver-blows. Then
the fists were pinned and waved use
lessly in the air. Caine another lunge
and he knew his foreman had beon
taken off his feet.
His hand kissed the cold butt of the
revolver at his waist. He did not know
how It happened, how it came in his
hand, was unconscious of the muscular
action that pulled the trigger. He only
saw the orange spurt of flame that
leaped over the heads of the qutrmlng
mass, heard the splatter of splinters
from the roof, then tho weapon dangled
uselessly in his hand.
A cold silence fell instantly upon the
pandemonium. Up was conscious of a
long, sighirg shudder and knew seconds
would tell whether the ictory was won.
Brown Joe staggered to his feet, pushing

the hair from his eyes and staring about
him glassilv. still dazed from the blow
that had felled him. Payne waved the
revolver threatening and the men quailed
an ay from him, the expression of coned
beasts in their eyes, then as the gun
steadied in his hand, dived fearfully out
of the place.
Grady gripped the ring-leader by
the arm as he would have sneaked
out. throwing him heavily before the
young superintendent.
"You're fired." Payne snapped. "Get
out and don't wait for your time
either. If I catch you about the fields
again I'll not shoot at the rafters.
Get me?"
The fellow slunk backwards toward
the door, darting fearful glances at
the foreman, who watched him threat
eningly, hii fists swaying slightly as
though nothing would delight him
more than another opportunity of test
ing them upon the ugly visage. But
as he slumped out the door there was
& look In his eyes, about the corners
of his mouth, the murderously low
forehead that seemed to indicate he

Aril OOffrhfimz,
Bperiil CbrrMtondent of Tfce Wtablntfon HtrtU.
New York, May 31. Fred C. Gunning
writes a column about films and film folk
In a NewYork newspaper under the title
of "W'id." Gunning's native habitat Is
Chilllcothe, Ohio, which also produced
George C. TIer. the theatrical man, and
James Brltton Scott, the railroad man.
Gunning used to he "the" reporter on
one of the local dailies where with pad
and pencil In hand he chased the elusive
Item up and down Main street. Chilll
cothe once gave a centennial celebration
and one of the honors that was thrust
uopn Gunning was an Invitation to write
a poem. He did It. too, cleverly contriv
ing to squeeze It Into four hundred lines.
The other night he attended a big firm
magnate banquet In New York and was
down for a speech. In Introducing him
the toastmaster kindly recited the poem
that was written in the Chilllcothe days.
A friend at Gunning's elbow asked him
how he liked It. "Fine," he said: "It
beat a Turkish bath." And then he
wiped away the streams of perspiration
off his faie.
The attitude of the American public
toward President Wilson was fittingly
shown when Fifth avenue crowds stood
In thp pouring rain to cheer him during
the fleet celebration. New York may
have a cold heart, but it was thawed out
for the President.
TheiP was n mistaking the earnest
ness of the ovation. It was kindly, sym
pathetic and spontaneous, and must have
warmed the cockles of his heart. A man
who sat near him in the grandstand said
that several times the President had to
brush aa R tear when the crowds crew
especially demonstrative.
In all of the vaudeville theaters that
night the orchestras played and the per
formers sang a popular air Juit out call
ed "We Take Our Hats Off to You, Mr.
Wilson." And that Is what New York
did. The sons certainly fit the occasion
and the President gave the music pub
lishing house, through Secretary Tumul
ty, permission to use one of his auto
graph portraits for the title page.
A model tenement Is to be erected on
Fifth avenue for the unemployed. 'This
starts off sarcastically and Is going to
get worse. A few who work, from 10 to 3
will be admitted on presentation oi gooa
references.
Some of the apartments may be had for
as little as X3MHQ a J ear. tvvnai am wc
tell you?) The real high-up, first-class
apartments will rent for about $25,0uQ a
year.
Every effort will be made to keep ten
ants from brooding on the pitiful con
trast between their lot and luxuries of
those who live tn marble palaces.
Henceforth fiction for the young to be
realistic will not portray a boy hero who
comes to the great city, gets a Job at 12
a week In a grocery store, sleeps under
the counter after twelve hours' work,
and eventually rises to the presidency of
a breakfast food trust.
Grocry clerks unions have put a stop
to some of these favorite fictional condi
tions. A bill signed by Gov. Whitman
will stop most of the rest of them.
The bill provides that no grocery clerk
in a first-class city shall work more than
seventy hours a week, or eleven hours a
day. He cannot sleep In any room about
the store unless It complies with sanitary
regulations.
Franklin I". Adams his written a new
verse to the air of "Captain Jinks." Here
it is:

to, see his employer entering the
room. Framed In the doorway he
stood, staring about him with knitted
brows. Behind the men had gathered
about his touring car. the sound of
their threatening murmurs a low buzz
the buzz of a mob Just barely held
In check.
"Well""' he snapped.
"Mutiny against the food." lane
explained. "I phoned you yesterday
again for orders as to what was to
be done. The men really can't be
blamed. Mr. Monroe. They haven't
had stuff fit for a dog to eat.
"Humph!"
The old man picked up a remnant
of crockery upon the floor upon which
some of the food still clung. He re
carded it disgustingly a second, then
allowed It to drop quickly from his
hand as a sniff of it caught his nos
trils. "Phew" Can't blame anybody kick
ing at such stuff," he muttered, then
a frown of annoyance grew into heavy
angeri upon his countenance.
"You've written me three times
about this situation, haven't ou?" he
demanded, abruptly: then, without
waiting for an answer, as Payne
flushed and started to stammer: "I
don't want to hear anything about
that. It's my own fault: trust Julia
to ever do anything. Every morning
the same thing: every night wait till
tomorrow. The girl seems absolutely
to have no sense of responsibility, of
the rights of others, anything save her
own right to put off put oft put
off."
Pajne hung his head, avoiding the
glowering eje of the old man. There
was no denjlng what had Just been said.
Somehow, he had felt from the begin
ning that his fiancee's dllatoriness was In
sonic measure responsible for the neg
lect that had led up to this scene of
havoc. Yet ever thing within him rose
up to her defense. Before he had time
to formulate a defense. Ira Monroe whirl
ed upon his heel and stepped out Into
the center of the angry group.
It was characteristic of tho man that
the moment he saw a situation and
grasped Its full significance he took hold
of it and battled for the mastery. Payne
stepped quickly up beside him. fearful
of the result of such an attempt while
the men were In their present humor.
Monroe brushed him aside, lifting his
hand.
"I understand there's been some com
plaint about the food, he began, a
twinkle In his eve that melted some of
the threatening glances fastened upon
him. "I have understood it was bad
for some time, but I didn't realize how
bad food could be until I took a .'
He wrinkled his face wryly and the ice
was broken.
From the back of the crowd a man
laughed. In a second he was Joined by
others and soon Munroe held them in
tho palm of his hand.

men were wildly cheering, knowing that
now was the psychological moment to
make his strongest play.
"Get In my car, Lee," he commanded,
"and don't waste any time getting back

supper."
As the superintendent nodded and
cjlckly re-entered the ofllce. the old man
waved the men away curtly to their
work, standing a moment looking after
them. There was a curious smile upon
his face as Payne appeared from the
outer room, where he had his living
quarters, dressed neatly for the town.
