He liked young George, and was much taken by Mabel, who was ptetty and charming, of an exceeding ly restful temperament, and a really gifted musician. The girl took charge instantly. She rose and greeted the visitor without any semblance of constraint But the other members of the family were not so self-possessed, and Burton soon no ticed that the domestic atmosphere wns heavy with storm. , "Anything wrong" he asked cheer ily. "You people look as though you hud been telling each other the real truth." "So we have," bellowed Mr. Hamer, rising from the table and grabbing his papers. 'Tve been telling my son that he Is several sorts of an Idiot, and' he has just coolly informed me that he means to marry some girt In one of my fuctories. If you are a friend of ours, Mr. Burton, take him out 'and reason with him. Use a big syck, if necessary. At any rate, yon know me well enough to believe that I shall not tolerate any disgrace. The moment George marries any woman of whom his mother and I do not approve, my front door closes on him forever 1" The cardboard box magnate strode out without listening to another word. lie was in a towering passion. He even stooped to an ineffable mean ness, becuuse he went straight to the telephone, rang up the factory, and gave Instructions to the caretaker that when the foremun came next morning he must discharge Janet Perkins im mediately. Mabel had the good sense to realise that the two young men should be left to themselves. She took her weeDing mother away and did not reappear. Soon afterwards Burton and George quitted the house. jonn, 01 course, was aeeply con cerned. He little lmaelned that he would find himself in the midst of such a storm the instant he entered the Ha mers' palatial abode. But all bis sym pathies were with George Hamer.' It could not well be otherwise. He, too, had met Janet Perkins, and bad recog nized in her a social force of no mean order. He was aware of the condi tions which obtained In the trust's fac tories, and did not approwe of them. Indeed, he had almost resohredwto try and win the president to a more rea sonable frame of mind, and. by invest ing his own money In the concern, ob- onable to control such extensive re sources, since he did not mix In flnun-, clal circles to anything like the extent necessarHy associated with the presi dency of an Important trust. So he and George put their heads together, with the result that a new cardboard box Industry was founded. or course this important step coma out be taken without its accompanying "alarums and excursions.' in the first Instance, the newsDODers made much of ftetflPgft Haifler's defao tion from the trust His1 father's an ger was daily inffumedf by such headlines as follows; "Carkoard Box TrusJ in Trouble." "Beforma Promised the Laborers." "George Hamer, SPun of President Speaks at Meeting. ' He Claims That Workers Are Entitled to Better Conditions, and Joins Multimillionaire Marquis ' In New Scheme." It may be, perhaps, that th father was secretly proud to find in.kls son a chip of the old block. In hfs own strenuous youth he had been forced to tight every sort of opposition, and George was only treading the well trodden way In new conditions. But he could nelthes forgive nor forget that ridiculous marriage. Thnt wns the real obstacle to a reconciliation, and he determined fiercely to break the new undertaking and bring its founders to their knees. One other minor difficulty reaped itff head. A pretty girl like Janet could hardly work in a factory day in and day out throughout the year without attracting admirers, and a man named Will Foster, a cutting-machine attend ant a bit of firebrand at union meet ings was so lnoeiaed by young-Homer's poachrbg on whet he considered to be a special preserve1 of his own that he actually trtved two East side toughs to attack his rival and put him out of action. In Itself, the Incident was quite un important. The would-be garrotters chose the wrong time for their enter prise, since they laid 4h 'wait for George' one night when Burton was walking home with him, and the result wns disastrous to the toughs. In deed, they received snch an unmerciful hiding thnt no further steps were ta ken against thera. But 1UU Foster's rancor endured, tven after the young couple were hap- far n In tha flraL ue nao? taken an accurate measure of the elder Hamer's disposition. The man would fight to a finish, and would merely be goaded Into a more 'furious resistance by the presence of bis son la the enemy's camp. - . George Hamer poured forth bis woes Into John's friendly ear as they walked to a meeting of the operatives which was fixed to take place that tight "The absurd thing Is," be explained almost whimsically, "that. I have al ready asked Janet twice to marry me, and she has twice refused. And why, do you think T For precisely the same reason as that given by my father the difference la our social positional What rot I How can red-blooded men and women ever have permitted their Uvea to be governed by such artificial rules? However, Janet must capltuate now, I'm a worker like herself, John. I'm not going back. Ill send the old man a letter In the morning and state my platform quite clearly. It's only fair that he should know Just what separates us. It may be a gage of bat tie, but I cannot help that I'll marry Janet Perkins, and earn a good living for both of us : and if I fall some pow er stronger than the Oarboard Box trust shall tell me the reason why! . """ , a Trust ' Janet accepted George Hamer that night and John Burton was called on to approve the lovers' plighted vows. He did so honestly and without reser vation. Unfortunately, with his usual 111 luck. Burton was forced Into a state of passive hostility against the other riiembers of the Hamer household. Mr. Hamer gave him to understand that his friendship was no longer desired. Mrs. Hamer reproached him for hav ing "encouraged" her bod In the folly which had now culminated in an "im possible" marriage, aad Mabel told him plainly that she did not thlnkasha could ever forgive him for helping in the estrangement of her brother from those who "really loved him and bad bis best interests at heart" Now, John could be as stttobom as a mule when convinced that wrong was triumphing over right He was a rich man far richer than Hamer though ' ,-. pily married, and a fair start bad been made lnthe garden village which surrounded the Burteo and Hamer factory. The new concern had almost denud ed the main plant ef the Cardboard1 Box trust of its workers. Neither mon ey nor wit bad been spared la estab lishing It on i a firm foundation. Mea and women decently housed, their hours of labor shortened, their honor appealed to that they should earn the higher wages paid by their employ ers, and they worked under conditions of light and air and cheerfulness which were promptly quoted as Ideal by ev ery noclaU reformer m the country. George Hamer took practical charge of the works, while his wife devoted herself to the welfare, of the women and children. ,,--ii ... No Utopia possible fo the world ef today can equalize all things, and it hi Indeed folly to pretend that 1-3 week can yield the same pleasant con ditions an ten tttuea the amount But the Garden City Cardboard Box com pany prospered. BUI Foster, the apostle of labor un i rest found himself In a minority of i one when be tried to stir trouble1 among his mates.- In fact bis efforts led to a result whlch he little fore saw. The country district in which Bur ton and Hamer had located their fac tory was ruled by the local sheriff. The governor of the Btatw might not have agreed with' this opinion, but It was held unequivocally by every resi dent Now, the sheriff hill looked on Garden City and its promoters, and, after spitting, wns wont to announce that both were "bully " Hence, he had no use for agitators, and when he came across Foster, mounted on a box and haranguing a crowd oMils mates, who ltsiJhed merely to pass the "cigarette .tlmelf after dinner, he walked straight "Up to the ppotter, grabbed him bythe neck, and kicked him off the lot! "By heck!" he roared, "any fcUei who talks that way in this yer htilhV wick he ter quit and quit sharp." Foster did not take this ctmstlse' went at ail kindly. InoVed, he resent ed it with all the bltteraess of a mean nature which sought revengo on the Hamers und hoped to find an outlet ,ln fomenting a trade disturbance. oTitinued Oq Page Four &fost Centrally Located Hotel The Lexington ." . v.,...- . .
