And it wor on the Tuesday as he went on the afternoon shift . I saw im go , an he wor down ` earted . An I fell a cryin as he went up the street , for I knew why he wor down ` earted , an I asked the Lord to elp him . And about six o'clock they come runnin -- an they towd me there 'd bin an accident , an they wor bringin im -- an he wor alive -- an I must bear up . They 'd found him kneelin in his place with his arm up , an the pick in it -- just as the blast had took him -- An his poor back -- oh ! my God -- scorched off him -- _ scorched off him _ . '' A shudder ran through her .
