O'Hagan's hand was resting on a small silver cross in his pocket, and in another moment he solemnly handed the girl the money and notes he had stolen. "Why, whatever is this?" asked the girl, staring at O'Hagan in bewildered amazement. "That's yours," he said by way of assistance. "But I don't understand!" she cried, greatly puzzled.
Then, with a satisfied smile, he turned away, with purpose to dispose of Bannerman's note. "Bath's ready, sor." O'Hagan's announcement fell upon heedless ears. Maitland remained motionless before the desk transfixed with amazement. "Bath's ready, sor!" imperatively. Maitland roused slightly. "Very well; in a minute, O'Hagan." Yet for some time he did not move.
They saw O'Hagan stagger a little and then turn round to where the regiment boiled with joy in the trenches. "You are back, my children," he shouted. "It is well, for my poor soul desires rest.... Aye, rest indeed!" A great peace settled on O'Hagan's face, as he slowly collapsed and lay very still.

"O'Hagan's in town," the man panted, rushing into the room. "They've brought in O'Hagan and his gang of bullies." O'Hagan, king of strike breakers! Ruth knew that name well, and what the arrival of the man of evil omen foretold. It promised violence, riot, bloodshed, suffering. "They're going to try to run, then," said Dulac, calmly. "The police have escorted a mob of scabs into the mill yards.
"When you're through, O'Hagan," he told the Irishman, "you may come and shave me and lay out my things, if you will." "Very good, sor. In wan minute."
