bleak Saturday night, in the city Of Paris,

hungry, they entered a cafe to trade
bottle Of their violet ink If they could for

their great discovery and WaS amazed. He
offered them five francs to teach him their

THE ENDS OF TWO MEN WHO STARTED TO-

of decent paIentage. and intelligent, They
discussed ways aud means before separat-

here call Wright, had So many and such
magnificent plans that the other had up-
purtunitv to say but little. In fact he had
10 plans or castles in the air, being only
concerned in finding immediate work aud
