 But, my lad, there is dissension in the other camp as
well as in ours. Sartwell’s coming out as he did just now was as much
defiance of his masters as of his men. If we knew the truth of it, both
Monkton and Hope wanted him to come with them and their bodyguard. He
refused. From what I hear, Mr. Hope was so frightened this morning that
he could not have spoken if his life had depended upon it. There
must have been some hot talk between the three to-day. Sartwell
underestimates the danger, and the two owners perhaps overestimate it.
What I am sure of is, that there is division between Sartwell and the
masters, and when they hear that he came out alone to-night, while they
were guarded by twelve policemen, they’ll be more angry than ever, if
there’s any spirit in either of them. Now, what you must do to-morrow
is to meet either Monkton or Hope, or both if possible. You’ll see they
won’t look near the works again until this strike’s ended. I’d go to Mr.
Hope first if I were you. He’s had the worst fright. Tell him you want
to end the trouble, and he’ll listen willingly. Very likely he has
some plan of his own that Sartwell won’t let him try. If you get him to
promise to give us what we want if we throw over Gibbons, we’ll spring
that on the meeting, and you’ll see, if we work it right, Gibbons will
be thrown over. Then there will be no trouble with Sartwell.”

“It seems a treacherous thing to do,” said Marsten, with some
hesitation.

“God’s truth, lad,” cried Braunt, with some impatience, “haven’t they
been treating you like a traitor ever since this strike began? What’s
the difference, if it does look like treachery? Think of the wives and

 be thrown over. Then there will be no fuss with Sartwell. ”
