Joe knew our coal Interests were heavy, but he did not dream bis news meant that before the day waa over we would be bankrupt and not able to pay fifteen cents on the dollar. However, he knew enough to throw him into a fever of fright. He watched my calmness with terror.

There he sat, at a small, plain table. In tbe middle of the room without any article of furniture in it but his table and his chair. On the table waa a small Inkstand, perfectly clean, a steel pen equally clean, on the rest attached to it And that was all not a letter, not a scrap of paper, not a sign of work or of intention to work. It might have been the desk of a man who did nothing; In fact, it was the desk of a man who had so much to do that his only nope of escape from being overwhelmed was to despatch and clear away each mat ter the instant It was presented to him. Many things could be read from the powerful form, bolt upright In that stiff chair, and from the cynical, masterful old face. But to me the chief quality there revealed was that quality of qualities, decision the great, est power a man can have, except only courage. And old James Galloway had both. He pierced me with his blue eyes, keen as a youths, though his face was seamed with scars of seventy tumultuous years.
