you iico my father wits set again the match kutio bein only a laborers daughter whilo ho himself was foreman in the mills gotfing jjooil wages and tlicrtightrv deal of by the employers an if it wusnt for kntfe i dint think id bo hero now to tell you about it for twas she that saved my lifo through hitting on n plan that never once came into the heads of mo or my com rades aye or those youd have thought would know better than any of- us i was brought up o my fathers trade been taken when ybjjng by a brother of my mothers a master bricklayer living in tho town when my tincle died i came home to lisgarvin for a bit just to see my father and finding tliey were at work on tho new buildings at the mills i looked for employment there and got it at once lis- garvin mill is a hour mill and n pretty place in those days with the river running just by tho old brick buildings and the- big water wheel always going tbuud and round tho river fulls into a larger one a little lower down so tis in boats that most of the corn is brought in an the flour carried away tisnt half so pretty aplace now there are big whitewashed buildings along side of the old brick ones the big wheel is stopped an you hear the whirr of the engines instead of the sound of the water but they makes a power of money there an gives a deal of employment aud i was saying i got taken on asa bricklayer katies father was working there too and i ured to see her bringing him his dinner and nfter a bit i began to think that id like to have her bringing me mine too she was as pretty rt girl then as youd see anywhere shes good looking to this day an i soon became that fond of her that id havo done any thing limost to get her she herself wus willing enough twas my father that made tlio difficulty ho was a proud man as proud in his way as any gentleman an he was right down mad at tho notion of mar rying a laborers daughter to be sure i was earning good wages an might have married without asking anyones leave if id been so minded but i didnt like to go again the old man that had always been good to me besides katio was just as proud as hinisolf an would jiave nothing to say to mi unless he wasjatislied i got the master to speak to him but sure twasnt a bit of use how would yon like sir he says to the master if i had a daughter to have master phillip to take up with her an wouldnt that be the same thing i believe that the master didnt think it would be all the same but my father wouldnt hear reason from him any more than from me so katie an i had just nothing for it but to wait in tho hope of his coming round an very little hope we had of the same as we were putting up a steam engine in the mill we had of course to have a big chimney an we got a man down from town to build it one of them chaps that build chimneys and nothing elseau thinks nobody knowb anything about it but theiraelves i was wdrking along with him and indeed twas i that built the mqst of it an a right good job it was twos finished by christ mas ten years ago this christmas coming on all but the lightning conductor and that was not to be put up owing to the masters wanting to make enquiries when hed go to london an see for himself what would be the best kind to use the master was a scientific sort of a gentleinan had ideas of his own sometimes theyd be better than any other peoples sometimes may be not so good at any rate there was a delay about the conduotoran in the meantime the engines were at work an the big chimney was smoking away mr brown the strange workman had goneaway saying very condescending like that ho was sure jim ford that was me would bo able to fasten tho rod to the chimney as well as he could do it himself ho took all his scaf folding with him but before he went away he fixed a beam with a pulley to it iuto the top of the chimnoy an left a long rope hung dangling week after week until the master came home bringing the rod along with him once it had come there was no good losing any more time in fixing it so one saturday afternoon in january up i went on a plank slung securely at the ensof the rope my tools along with me an settled myself astride on the stone coping twas rather late in the day but the morning had been too wet an stormy to work an the master was as impatient to get the job done as if it hadnt been himself thatwas hindering it all this time i was as nmoh at home atop of the chimney as i was on the ground an j worked on without once looking down until iny job was finished an i was putting op my tools then all of a sudden i heard a rattling noise an looking over i seen the plank going down very fast i called out hollo there i send that up again will you i but the only answer i got was a loud laugh for all the world like silly jerry the naturals and sure enough there he was standing by the windlass jumping an clap ping his hands i looked about for the man borod that a few days befoi a 1 had fouril tlio boy annoying katio an hadlgiven

through tho trees j by this time peoplo know what had hap pened an a crowd waa collecting i could see them coming from all parts for of course i had a view all about j i saw a boy go up to tho door of the count ing houso an presently master phillip crmo out running as if for hib lite when he came he took the command like an begaji giving directions an tho people who had only stared at first now ran here an there ns he sent them first they brought out a long ladder an fixed ition the roof below the chimno i could havo told them that twas too sliort knowing s i did tho length of every la ider in the phiq but somehow though i hiard their shout- plainly i could not make t lem hear mino it seemed as if the voice i- went up like smoke then tiiero was a greats elay while they went for a longer
