o'clock
Towards night the uproar grew louder . The saloons were doing a big business , and the sound of rollicking songs and drunken brawls was in the air . Job grew restless and paced the office floor . About five o'clock a delegation came for someone to meet the men at a conference on the waste-heap back of the quartz mill .

So between two armed , burly guards , Job went to look into the face of the strangest audience he had ever seen .
