In a huge and smoky foundry close by the wharves in the town of B , a gang of workmen were getting ready to cast the largest hell of the St. John's cathe dral chime. Only an hour more, and they would let the glaring, bubbling metal, flowing from the huge furnace into the mould, which was "buried deep into the black earth close by. It was just at evening, and in the gathering twilight the lurid blue flames that burst from the top of the tall chimney, flashed unearth ly gleams upon the neighboring windows and house-tops. The scene within the foundry was weird and almost awful. The swarthy form3 of the workmen, partly lighted by the yellow glare, moved about like Tartarean shad ows, and the sooty beams and ponderous chains crossing, half black, half gold en under the glowing roof recalled the engines of Cy clops under Mt. iEtna. The town clock struck six. It was time for supper. All the men threw down the tools, and ran to put on their outer clothing. 44 Be back in a half aa hour sharp!" cried the fore-master. 44 We shall make the cast at a quar ter to seven." 44 All right, sir," cried the men in response. "I hear some of the town folks are coming down to see the work." said one. " Yes," said another, 4t and it'll be something to open their eyes. There was never such a bell cast in the" whole State as this one will be." In a moment more only one workman and . the master were left in the foundry. The former was to stay and watch the 44 blast." He had brought a double allow ance of dinner, and he would make a supper on what remained. 44 Perhaps ! we can get Inven tor to stay with you, George said the master, laughingly, as he pre pared to go. 44 Yes, where is he ?" returned the man in the same jesting tone. 44 He's been round tho works long enough to know when any thin goes wrong. Hallo ! hallo ! I say I Where's the Inventor? Come here. Ah, there he is!" And in silent answer to the . sum mons, a shock haired fellow, with large gray eyes, and a pale vacant face, appeared from behind a pile of castings. He had on his back, a gray shirt much soiled with dust, and he wore a pair of huge panta loons, held up by a single suspen der. Well, Mopus," quoth the man George, slapping him rather rough- 7 orrNthersh Dt wit er oulder, "suppose you've got enough to help yell if any thing's the matter ?" The young fellow looked stupid ly around and nodded his head. 44 Then sit here and lock at that furnace, and don't take your eyes off." The poor lad smiled, and meek ly did as he was ordered just as an obedient dog would have laid down to watch his owner's coat. A queer fellow was this 44 Mopus; stupid enough in ordinary things to need a world of watching, but withal wonderfully fit to watch a furnace. He knew all the work ings of the foundry, by what seem ed to be a sort of brute instinct. though really his sagacity iu ,ihis was a remnant of a once bright mind. If anything happened, or went on in an unusual way, he would al ways notice it and say what ought to be done, tliough he cou id not tell perhaps why it should be done. Two years before, he had been an intelligent, promising lad. He was the son of a designer connected with the foundry company, and had always been allowed free ac cess to tffe Ihops, and , to minglo with tlie men and watch their work. But one day a great lifting chain broke, with its lo ul and an iron fragment struck him on the head, inflicting a dangerous injury. From this he partially recovered, and only partially, for his reason was i m pa red .But v? his natural love for machinery aud mechani cal experiments rem lined, and as he regained his oodiiy .strength, he spent ,m.t. of his vtiai . , making small wheels and sli tfts, and put-1 ting together odd contrivances, which he would exhibit with im mense pride and satisfaction.. This ieculiar trait in tho young fellow gained for him the humor ous title of . 44 Inventor." All. the men felt a great kindness for him, even though their manner toward him was occasionally harsh arid im patient. Such was the person left to help watch the great blast for the cast ing of the king bell of the chime of St. John's. Faithful he kept his place before the furnace, while the man George sat down at little dis tant and began . to eat his supper. Doubtless tho latter intended to keep a general oversight but . he certainly made the inventor's eyes do the most of the looking.; Whether he felt a kind of reckless trust in the instinct of his half witted companion, or indolently conclued that nothing wrong could happen, he was sadly to blame for charging himself so little with the important duty that was before him. Not a word was said by either watcher and only the deep roar of the furnace was heard through the vast foundry. George finished his supper, and santered into one of the tool shops to find his pipe. Inventor sat alone before the great blast. Tho one1 rational faculty of his feeble mind enabled him to comprehend what in it meant, and even something of the magnitude 01 the enterprise that was ripening inside those burning walls. lie knew that the furnace was full of valuble metal, and that close beside him, buried out of sight in the deep sand, was the huge mould, so soon to be filled with the precious cast. He knew and could see that all the channels were ready, and that near the mouth of the furnace stood the long iron rod that was to be used when the moment came to let on the molten stream. All this his limited thoughts took in by habit. Dimly conscious that something great was soon to be done, he sat with his eyes on the urnace, absorbed and intent. Suddenly something startled him. There was a slight noise, and a )urning crack appeared near the opoitne mrnace. men another crack, and a scorching brick felUx out and rolled to the ground at his feet ! The lad opened his mouth to shriek but so terrified was he that the sounds stuck in his throat, as if he had been in a fit of night mare. A thin red stream foil wed the fal len brick, and trickled down the furnace side like running lava. Then came another alarming noise, and a thin gap half way down the masonry let out more of the hiss ing metal. . , Where was George? Was the un faithful fellow still huntinc for.his pipe? The furnace was bursting with only a poor, half idiot lad to guard it! What . could he do? He did what perhaps a lad in his right mind would not have dared to do. Bushing to the mouth of the furnace, he seized the long iron rod! that stood near, and tapped the vent. One desperate thrust with the sharp point up the terri ble tunnel a few quick, , prying strokes! Stand back now 1 The confining clay fell away, and yellow-white flood spurted out with resistless force. It leaped into the claylined troughs, and hissed its way flaming, down to the mouth of the bell-mould. The 44 fool" had - done a died worthy of a general on a fiQld of battle. Was ittoo late? Every moment new iissuress opened intothedoom- ed furnace. Some of the uDper stones toppled oven Stfii the metal loured into the mold: But the waste was great from ? the gaping flaws. The pressure was relieved by the open venfv but the leaks multiplied continnally. It was art running a race with ruin. Poor Mopus stood powerless be fore the-; coming catastrophe. His knees knocked together, and his head swam. A great heap of red hct bricks and rubbish fell nt. hU feet. Hehad barely thought to get out or the wavand savA h 11 to He heard a wild shout of human voices in the distance,' then.; an aw- lut roar oeninci mm, and he saw and fel t himself p ursued by surges of seething fire. ; Sharp, blistering pains pierced his flesh at a hundred points. The rest was all a horrible, r unintelligible dream. It was as" if r-----; lul ".?uu I ever. vS) w vs vwxss w f v fi V-VS !, sr iv .
