HOLD ON.


I felt I must stop. I could not go on. Yet, day after day saw me back at the same job toiling and sweating until I felt my back must break. "It's too much for me," I muttered, while leaning on my shovel to catch a few hot. dry, dust laden breaths while the burning heat from the huge fur- nace singed my bare arms and chest like tongues of flame from the gates of Hell.


For twelve long, weary, torturing hours. day after day, 1, a half grown boy of fifteen. was holding down the job of stoking this great hot, ever hungry furnace that would tear the life out of ordinary men. And why did I stick? Time after time I had been tempted to throw myself into those mocking. laughing flames and end it all, but deep in the heart of the glowing furnace I always saw a sweet wrinkled face crowned with silvery hair, a face that smiled so sadly on me. And fiercely I plied my shovel, for once again I could hear my father say : "Boy. I'm going. I leave mother in your eare. God help you with your burden, son."


And we had nothing. I could not find work, but at last this chance came to me and, despairingly, 1 grasped at it. My earnings were small. barely enough to keep us alive, and my poor dear old mother, now half blind, sewed day and night until total blindness claimed her, and I was left alone with the awful task of supporting us.


I was wasting away. I became thin and pale, and knew I must soon die if I must continue my burden. And I feared to die, with a fear that was haunting and terrible. Not for myself I cared, but the thought of my mother left alone to starve followed me like a white robed spectre.


During those awful days before the furnace I racked my brain for some way to improve my condition, but opportunity turned a seowling face. And when at night I turned my weary steps doggedly yet eagerly homeward I felt the morrow could not possibly see me back before that fiendish heat. Yet words of hope and tender encouragement from my mother always steeled me for the day of body-racking labor before me. And every night after eating my scanty supper, before going to bed. I read from an old volume of Kipling's poems that had been one of my father's possessions the lines that fitted best and struck so deeply into my soul:


"If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew,


To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you


Except the will which says to them, 'Hold On.' "


Night after night I read these four lines and with the thought of them ever burning in my brain, dropped quietly off to much needed rest.


At last came the day when I knew I must fall. Staggeringly, 1 left home in the morning, and all through the early hours of the forenoon weakly vet automatically heaved shovelful after shovelful of heavy black coal into the mouth of that fire-breathing dragon. Before noon I suddenly weakened and hazily remember falling face foremost in the great pile of coal.


The next I remember I was in a large. well lighted office while a tall kind-eyed man dashed cold water on my face. "He is coming around," I heard someone say, and I sat up and looked about me. I recognized several of the office force of the great steel mill clustered around, while directly over me, with an empty glaass in his hand stood H., the owner of the mill. Weakly I tried to rise. "Here Jim, help me with him," said Mr. Hawkins, the mill owner. "Sit here, boy," he said, scating me in a large arm chair, "And for God's sake tell me how ever came you at that job? To think that such a thing should be permitted in my mill.'


60


Briefly I told him the story of my life, while the entire office force lis- tened in awed silence. When I had finished Mr. Hawkins spoke first. "Sonny. " he said, "First I want to offer you a job in my office, and next } want to lend you five hundred dollars to help your mother. You can pay me when you have made your fortune. Will you accept?"


Tears of gratitude glittered in my eyes as chokingly I thanked him. and as 1 buried my head into the arm of the great chair those four lines of Kipling's burned before my eyes like dancing flames, and the brightest of the words were "Hold On."


GEORGE HOUCK, Sr. 1.


UNCLE EB LISTENS IN.


The other nite I went to visit a friend who had one a these here radio contrapshuns. I ain't never goin' agin. One nite was enuf. I went up to his den where the blame thing was a settin' on a table. It looked harmless. but blow me for a lizard ef the noise that thing give forth wa'n't ennf to give a man hart failure. Durned ef it didn't almost come up to a flivver. I set down to the table en put on a pair of ear-muffs en my friend put on a pair too. Then he started to twist some nobs on the outside of a big black box. Nothin' happened. He grunted en twisted some more. Nothin' happened. He grunted some more en twisted some more, en somethin' s uealaed like the Dickens rite in my ear, en the man on the other end of the sez "Stashun KOP broadcastin'; stand by to -- "; en then somethin' went e-e-e-e-e-ow-W-W-W. En blame me if the whole kaboodle of 'em didn't start to chime in to onet. Then I hears: "The title of tonites bedtime story will be e-e-e-e-e-e-r-1'-1'-1'-l'- OW'-W-W-WY __. base ball scores, Toronto 6-Baltimore 4 _e-e-e-e-e- stock reports. K P & O sittin pretty- OW -W-W-W- ledees en gentmen. the Jaazzbo Five will now render ____ e-e-e-e-OW-W'-W-I'-


By gum, frum the sounds that came through them ear-muffs I'd a thought they was renderin' lard. En then blame me ef the darned thing didn't get worse. Something started whistlin': en somethin' started groanin'. en something started squeal- in'-all to onet. Sounded like a calf with the heebie-jeebies. About 10 minutes of this en somethin' else happened, which I was durned glad of. Everythin' stopped. Oh boy, it sounded so good fer a minit I didn't know where I was at. My host. who had been mum as a oyster up to now sez: "Oh. I know, it must a been the grid leak." "Well," sez I. "I'm glad you stopped it up." I took them ear-muffs off en leaned back in my chair with a sigh of relief. En jest about five minits later I left-left with a pair a had ears en a predjudice against all radios, en that one in particular. I'm cured. You couldn't git me in there agin unless a pair a mules was hooked on to my neck. I'm goin' to shun that place like a dog shuns a pole-cat. En still they say that radio is the eighth wonder of the world. Well. they can't tell me, cause I know.
