Bj HJALIIAI? HJOBTH EOYESEN. CHAPTER V. To relate how Gnnnor accomplished the difficult task to get away from home would require a lonj chapter. He wrung a reluctant consent from his mother after endless persuasion, by holding out to her the promise that ho would bring his father back to her. The hope ho had kindled in her heart flared up ut times with a bright flame, and then died oat again with a pathetic flicker. The mere -ssibility, however, that Hans might be alive imparted a new restlessness te ller thought- and kept her waking and sleeping in a state of subdued agitation. She discovered with surprise how deep her attachment to him was and how impossible it was to sail her wonted course of practical routine, now that this new beacon of hope had shed its light upon a wholly unsuspected region within her. A hot moisture often rose to her eyes at the sudden thought of seeing Hans Matson again after so many years of separation. All his aberrations were forgotten and forgiven, and the hard words they ha spoken to each other when opinions clashed were as if wiped out from her memory. Curi ously enough the idea never occurred to her that he had perhaps consciously de serted her. She found no end of ingen ious excuses for him, feeling confident that whatever he had done he had been guided by noble motives. There were actually moments when her affection for her son, which had hitherto been the dominant sentiment of her life, paled before the passionate yearning for her lost and erring linsband. And so it came to pass that Gunnar found himself one day on the road to the nearest railroad station, tingling in every nerve with a sense of adventure. He arrived on the following day wit' >ut accident in Chicago, and was utterly be wildered by the grandeur and the noisy turmoil of the great metropolis of the west. The smoke oppressed his lungs, the shriek of locomotives on the lake front made him blind and deaf, and the underground buzzing and humming of the cable cars gave him a headache. How conld he hope to track his father in such a babel of tumultuous confusion? His first task, however, must be to find himself a boarding pl%ce which might be used as a base of operation in his ex plorations. In the Scandinavian quarter of the city called Vicker park he stum bled upon a kindly policeman whose face revealed his Norse blood, and to bim Gunnar confided his perplexities, and was directed to a cheap and respectable house kept by the widow of a Norwegian apothecary. The floor of the hall was covered with oilcloth, and an odor of cooking was perceptible as soon as the front door was opened; but Gunnar was not fastidious, and moreover the kindly grace of the landlady, Mrs. Tonneson, would have reconciled him to worse in conveniences than culinary odors. At the dinner table he was introduced to about twenty people, mostly clerks in stores aud recent arrivals from Norway, all of whom scanned his rustic attire with supercilious mien. There was par ticularly a young lady, the daughter of Mrs. Tonneson, who made him uncom fortable by the critical and half amused Jxpressiou with which she regarded him. His ears burned and his face glowed •vith the consciousness that she found him [ueer; but he was not angry with her— inly desperately determined to learn the ways of the world, and if possible to make her his teacher. She appeared dazzling- ly beautiful to the guileless young fel low. Her straw colored hair, with a lot of frizzy curls hanging down over her have anything to give you.” ‘Well, you must bo smart enough to know that Hans Matson will scarcely thank me for putting the old woman on the scent of him." “Do you mean to say,” exclaimed Gun nar wrathfuUy, “that my father is a scoundrel’?" “Hush, hush, young man; not so fast. I said nothing of the sort." Gunnar was in sore perplexity. A host of new ideas rushed in upon him. if his father was living under an assumed •Mae ii was quite obvious that he did not wish liis family to find him. It was odd that that view of the eal) had not presented itself to him and his mother— his poor mother, who supposed that sluqjie, poverty or misfortune kept him from returning to her! Well, come what might, he was resolved to sound the mystery to the bottom. "Then you won’t help me?’ he said to Lawson, who was yet sitting on the flour barrel trimming his nails with a pocket knife. "That depends upon what you'll give," answered Lawson, intent upon li!s task. “I hare nothing to give. I have scarcely enough to get along until I get something to do." “Will yon give me your note o? hand for payable in five years, for value received, if the clew I furnish you is cor rect, tiie note to be canceled if my clew is not correct?' “But suppose I am not worth |oOO in five years.'" “I’ll take my chances on that.” Gunnar pondered for some minutes, then, with a reckless fling of his head, held ont his hand and said: "Well, since there is no other way, 1 suppose 1 shall have to agree to your terms." Lawson, rising, stuck his knife into his pocket and grasped his visitor's hand. “Wait a minute," he said, "and I'll go with y in." CHAPTER VI. ” HTuit can the lioumj man dot" The grocer reappeared presently in his holiday attire of black broadcloth, and with the silk hat set askew upon his head. Having obtained the young man’s note of hand he took his arm, usherM him on board a street ear and seated himself solemnly at his side. They rode for twenty or thirty minutes np one street and down another, throngh a be wildering turmoil of traffic, and stopped at last before a huge, ugly brick block, across the walls of which a succession of colossal gilt letters traced the inscrip tion: “The Norman Reaper & Mower Co.” Through the windows conld lie seen big wheels revolving, and straps of leather belting flying up and down, lengthwise and crosswise, while the glow from the months of the furnaces showed black figures with leather aprons mov ing to and fro like cyclops in subterra nean smithWs. There was a whirling, and a rattling, and a hammering, a rasp- | ing of saws aud clanking of metals fit I to split one's ears. The whole enonnona | building seemed to be trembling with an intense white heat activity. Gunnar and his companion paused for a moment to contemplate the structure, and then entered an outer office on the second floor, in a part of the bnilding which was separated from the factory by a wide hall. Lawson wrote his name keeper to hand it to Mr. Norman. The reply was soon returned that if he could wait for half an hour Mr. Norman would be at leisure. Gunnar did not dare to ask the ques tion which was trembling on his lips: Who was this Mr. Norman? Surely not his father. A rich and powerful man he must he, since such a great .factory was named after him. And yet, who could tell? He feared Lawson would think him foolish if he ventured to utter what was in his mind. At last, when the half hour was at an end, and three men had entered and left the smaller room, partitioned off from the.main office by a wainscoted wall of ash, the doorkeeper conducted _ _ . the two expectant Norsemen into the forehead, impressed him particularly. | c ^i c r« presence. Gunnar found himself Her features were small and fine, but there was a consciousness of the admira tion she excited in the way she carried her attractive blonde head. Perhaps there was even a touch of petulence in her motions, like that of a spoiled child who knows that every thing it does is becoming. But Gunnar w:is not discerning enough to detect face to face with a robust man of forty- five, with a brown beard sprinkled with giay, and fine, energetic features. He was carefully, almost fashionably dress ed, but there was in his bearing some thing angular and uncompromising, a kind of homespun, blunt directness.. His expression was, however, a trifle worried and his eyes were restless. He looked something a trifle stagey in this assumed ( Hke a Btrun ,, , nan w ith a bad conscience, youthfulness, nor did he observe the „j thought I’d drop in and see you," languishing look that stole into her eyes ^ Lawson uneasily, at odd moments, alternating with n look | ..jlow much?"'ftske.l Norman quickly of dreary fatigue.

The Norse type in the youth was unmistakable—the on a slip of paper and begged a door- -^neglecting to settle his board bill), pitied tell him so. He had then no choice but to produce his proof, and'when Mathilda finally had go choice but to believe him he could no longer charge her with indifference. She betrayed an alacrity and au in- ! dignation on his behalf which were ex- |' tremely flattering. He felt with gratified ! vanity how immensely he had risen in | her esteem. Unsophisticated though lie was he observed that she dressed with more eqre for their lessons and exerted all her arts to please in a way which I formerly would never have occurred to | her. It was an intoxication of bliss to j sit at her side on her sofa, while her hair grazed his cheek and her hand some- | times by some vagrant impulse stole Into his, and her dark blue eyes sud- | denly flashed upon him a glance full of j tender meaning. She could put on a look of such appealing innocence that Gunnar had to exert all his self restraint to keep himself withig bounds. A wild desire seized him more than once to clasp her in his arms and cover her face with kisses, but at such moments his fancy would conjure up the sweet face of Ingerid with tearful eyes aud lips quivering in infantine distress, and the sense of his own baseness would over whelm him and sober his passion. Gunnar saw Mr. Norman almost daily during theseTtwo years. He had an idea that his chief watched him, and during his constant unannounced rounds through the factoryipaid special atten tion to his work. He saw him frequent ly speak to the foreman of Ida division, and twice, after these conferences, Gun nar was promoted and ids pay in creased. When Mr. Norman addressed him, as lie occasionally did, it was usu ally to ask him how he was getting on with ids English. One day, when the 1)011 had rung and all the other hands were hurrying away, Gunnar was so engrossed in a delicate piece of work which had been intrusted to him that he could not tear himself away. Sud denly. as he looked np, lie saw the chief standing with his hands on his back gazing at him. As Gunnar paused, Mr. Norman took up the piece of metal at which he had been filing and examined it critically. “Look here, Finn Varsko," he said, "you are not a bad workman.” Gunnar blushed with pleasure. He had never heard Mr. Norman praise any one before. “Have you any brothers?’ asked the clfief, after a while, as ho laid down the metal. "No. 1 have neither brothers nor sisters." "And your parents, are t hey dead?” "My mother is alive, but my fa ther”— “Is dead. Yes, I supposed so. And yon had to go out into the world to earn your living. I suppose you send part of your earnings to your mother?" “Yes, as much as I can spare.” “That's right. 1 am glad you are a good son. That is what I like to hear.” About a week after this conversation Mr. Norman again paused in front of Gunnar’s bench. “How much do pay for your board?" ho asked. “Five dollars a week." "1 live alone. If you will take a room in my house you may pay for it by extra work which I will give, mostly copying and mechanical drawing. You'll then bo able to send five dollars more every week to your mother.” “But do you think, sir, that I'll be able to do that kind of work?” J - Leave that to me. I know what 1 am about." “But, sir, I don't think I can ac cept it.” “Well, do as you like. Yon may give me your answer to-morrow." When he got home that night Gunnar expected to be praised for his self denial in refusing the rich man's invitation, for he hoped Mathilda would divine that it was out of regard for her that he had foregone so great au tdvantage. But to | his surprise the you; lady called him a dunce, and told hii. almost in so many I words that in looking out for his own \ interest he also served hers. She felt I apparently so sure of him that she was j more than willing to run the risk of sep- j aration. It was of herself she was in doubt; but this doubt he could easily dispel by a great stroke of business like the one which he had confided to her. By getting Mr. Norman in his power (of which he had a far tietter chance when living in his house) he could make his everlasting fortune, and she hoped sin cerely he would show that he had the grit of a,man, and would allow no fool ish mollicoddle sentiment to interfere with his plan. When he had ascertained beyond the shadow of doubt that Mr. Nonnan was the same as Hans Matson, then was his opportunity. He must then threaten disclosure and make the best terms possible for pledgfiig himself to silence. Be it said to the credit of onr hero that he rebelled against this project. It was justice he wanted, justice for his deluded, sorrowing mother, w,. j had been cheated out of her life’s happiness by this man's duplicity and cruelty. To make money out of such a transaction seemed to him sordid, base, infamous. Ho came near fair substitute.

President.* they think a little for themselves, and indulge a little heresy on the subject of the in fallibility of the Norwegian Lutheran synod.” This was, as Lawson knew, a sore topic with Norman. He was intensely American in sentiment, and railed against the Norwegian clergy for isolat- ing.their countrymen from the national life and discouraging them from learn mg the English language. “I’d pay that young fellow a good sal ary if he ha .1 had an English common school education," he went on indig nantly, “but in order to keep his pure Lutheran faith undiluted ho has been allowed to grow up in ignorinco in a parochial school, fed on the husks of -doctrinal squabbles and studiously kept an alien in t'uo midst of this rich and magnificent country, to be a citizen of which ought to be a source of pride to any man.” Lawson, who had always tried to keep a safe middle ground on this question, being a Norseman among Norsemen and an American among Americans, re garded it as imprudent to commit him self, and therefore only nodded an equiv ocal approval and murmured: “H’m, yes; that’s a fact! Shouldn't wonder.” It «;as soon settled that Gunnar was to be employed in the factory at a salary of $8 a week, with the promise of ad vancement ns rapidly as his usefulness warranted. He had sat gazing silently at tiie big railroad map which covered one wall of - the office while Lawson and Nonnan settled his fate, being unable to comprehend their language. It was a relief to him to follow the thick red lines across the continent, intersecting with thinner red lines and black lines, for it enabled him seemingly to divert his thought from the all absorbing conscious ness which glowed and labored within him that this was indeed his father. In dignation on his mother's account was at first his uppermost feeling; but, on the other liand, it seemed difficult to l>e- lieve ill of a man with a face like that of Mr. Nonnan. If he was a scoundrel, as Gunnar was compelled to believe that he was, lie must have found it terribly hard work, for nature had never intend ed him to bo a scoundrel. Yet the more he was to blame. The thought ^pcurreJ to the young man, and had uo sooner occurred than it took complete possession of his mind, that lie would avenge upm this heart less adventurer the sorrow arid suffering lie had caused his poor, abandoned wife during ajl these years. But to do this he must follow Nonnan's example. He must disguise himself. What fonn his vengeance was to bike he could not de cide on the spur of the moment, but he would unmask the imiiostor. hold him up before the community whose admir ation he courted as the black hearted monster he was. And to this end he would instantly set about leartiing En glish. He wonld devote all his energies to it and accmnplish it in the shortest possible time. Ho started palpably wiiile nursing this passionate jrarpose when Mr. Nor man addressed him, but understood presently that he was to write his name in a book. His transparent face bespoke tiie turmoil that agitated his heart. He liegan to divine that Lawson, who was probably the only one in possession of Mr. Norman’s secret, had made it as profitable to himself as possible; and that now, when the manufacturer was be ginning to tire of his blackmail, he was turning it to fresh account in similar transactions with the opposite side. All these reflections flashed , through his brain as he received the pen from Law son's liand. He stooped down over the ledger and wrote Finn Varsko. Norman glanced curiously at the sig nature and closed the book. “Finn Varsko,” he murmured, “that is a curious name." CHAPTER VH. Two years passed rapidly and Gunnar became proficient in English. He took a lesson of one hour every evening from his landlady's daughter, the ehnrming Mathilda, who, when the student with the beer base had taken French leave EDWARDS, HORHEHT & CO. FOR C. & D.
