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,

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

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."

wicked in having won the love of Inge
rid, aud then spnrned it, that it was a
great relief to him to be able to call
himself hard names in the presence of a
sympathetic listener. He did not fail to

darkly heroic in the midst of all his
ten commandments, beginning with the
first and ending with the tenth.

her hold upon his affections, resolved to
postpone the execution of her plan until
a more favorable moment.
