n thrown down the rocks, where it can never be found, the mash
has been scattered to the four winds, and everything smashed to general
flinders. It took us nearly to daylight to finish it, but we stuck to
it till the job was done."

"I am delighted to hear that, what was the cause of all this?"

"I guess it must have been the little arbitrator," said O'Hara, with a
smile; "they say that when a man does a bad act he feels like doing
others. That may or may not be true, but I know that when a man does a
good deed, the impulse to do more is awakened, and whatever good there
is in him is strengthened. I have been a bad man; I grew desperate
after the death of Jennie; but when I held your Dollie in my arms it
seemed that some of her goodness found its way into my heart. I
resolved with the help of heaven to be a better man. The first step
toward becoming so was to stop the unlawful work in which I had been
engaged only a short time.

"I thought that Tom and Jack would make trouble, but I didn't care, for
I could manage them. To my surprise, however, they seemed to feel just
as I did. So they fell to work with a will, and the job couldn't have
been done more thoroughly. Now, if you will allow me to kiss Dollie,
who has come back, I will bid you both good day."

Harvey Bradley shook hands with his visitor, during which he handed him
a liberal sum of money for Tom Hansell, who had taken part in the
search for Dollie. He sent naught to Jack, for he deserved none. Then
he went with Hugh to the outer door, giving him a number of encouraging
words on the way.

The whistle of the Rollo Mills never screeched more cheerily than it
did the next morning, and there was never a happier band of employes
than the 300, young and old, who took their places again in the works.

A short time afterward Harvey Bradley opened and furnished a room where
the best of reading was given free to all who chose to accept the
privilege. Still later in the season a night school was started, and
the skilled teacher who took charge was liberally paid by the board of
directors, who never made a better investment of money.

The interest shown by the superintendent in the welfare of his employes
proved to be seed sowed in good ground. All wrought faithfully and
well, and when on the 1st of January the balance sheet was made up, lo!
the net profits of the Rollo Mills were greater than ever before.

IN THE NICK OF TIME.
