when she could no longer avoid it,
called him Mr.. Raymond with pain
full precision. In the subconsciousness
of each, the Nina" and Leon" of
that former life seemed unquiet, wan
dering ghosts, ready to spring forth
with insistent vitality. But a good,
healthy business relation is a marvel
Gus tranquilizer of graveyard associa-
tons; at least, these two found it so.
At the end of six months the feeling
of restraint, of suspicion, had worn
away. At the end of a veal it had
given place to a very genuine sense of
comradeship, decidedly more satisfac-
tory than the old-time throbs and
thrills.
He had fallen into the habit of
bringing his work into her Office,
which adjoined his. Each one of them
was doing literary work Independent
of that which they furnished their
magazine, and each found the others
suggestions and criticisms helpful and
inspiring. She wondered why her
stories took ON such strength and vi
tally after she had talked them
over with him-he developed new
possibilities of grace and beauty un-
der her discerning criticism.
Thus it was that the idea of colabor-
ating with her took hold of him and
found expression in the question with
which this story begins.
But you'd want the characters all
to do your way" she suggested. "You
would Eve consent, I feel sure, to
let your people give way the least
bit to NINE"
You don't know how complacent
and my people can be upon OCCASION
he expostulated. Lets try one story
anyway, and, if we are not pleased
with the result, why, the firm can dis
solve without further notice. Sucf
things have been DONE" he concluded
with a look that caused a warm lusl
to mount her brow. She affected no
to notice his covert sarcasm and said
Very good, you shall create tn
men-you know the craft all say, :;
woman's man to be utterly impossible
And l am to have absolute sway wher
the women are concerned"
So the story was begun. Plot an
style were agreed upon, but the de
tails of the story were to unfold an
develop themselves as it progresses
The interest was to hinge upon til
love of two men for one woman; an
Mrs. Martineau reserved the right
let the heroine accept or reject at tn
last moment.

Biz Electrical Enterprise.

One of the great electrical enter
'prises of the nineteenth century is
nearing it's completion. Seven years
have been spent at this business. Three
thousand miles of wire are in position,
and 1,200 more will be necessary to-
carry the line to its terminus in the
land of the Pharaohs. This will cover
the entire length of Africa. The cost
of the line as so far completed has
been SIS, 000, 900, and it's completion will
add $1,000, 900 nor to the total. The
work done has been under almost APP
palling difficulties. Swamps have been
bridged, mountain chasms crossed,
floods waded, the lion and the barba--
rian faced frequently to the point of
death, and the miseries of an almost
unbearable climate endured. The ant
made sawdust of the poles, and most
Of the material used had to be carried
through primeval forests on the shout
ders of aboriginals. The copper wire
was sometimes made into bullets tor
shoot down the white intruders, and
piles of human bones have been, left
TO whiten in the sun, where the an
nfbal or the beast of prey had gorged'
on the remains. The cost has been
heavy, but the results will in the long
run be the transformation of Africa
as the railway will follow the tele-
graph line, and the products ofrall ma
tions find one of the great markets in
the future between the Cape of Good
Hope and the Egyptian end of the Nile.
AS an engineering enterprise and as a
heroic effortt to carry out a magnificent
idea, there, are but few chapters in

Now, by a strange irony of fate, they

Life is a privilege. Its youthful days
Shine with the radiance of continuous Mays.
10 live, to breathe, to wonder and desire,
To feed with dreams the hearts perpetual fire;
10 thrill with virtuous passions, and to glow
With great ambitions-in one hour to know
The depths and heights of feeling-Godl in truth,
How beautiful, how beautiful is youth
Life is a privilege. Like some rare rose
The mysteries of the human mind unclose.
What marvels lie in earth, and air, and sea!
What stores of knowledge wait our opening key!
What sunny roads of happiness lead out
Beyond the realms of Incidence and doubt!
And what large pleasures smile upon and bless
The busy avenues of usefulness!
Life is a privilege. Though noontide fades
And shadows fall along the winding glades,
Though j%oy-blooms wither in the autumn air,
Yet the sweet scent of sympathy is there.
Pale sorrow leads us closer to our kind,
And in the serious hours of life we find
Depths in the souls Of men which lend new worth
And majesty to this brief span of earth.
Life is a privilege. If some sad fate
Sends us alone to seek the exit gate.
1t men forsake us and as shadows fall,
Still does the supreme privilege of all
Come in that reaching upward of the soul
To find the welcoming Presence at the goal,
And in the knowledge that our feet have trod
Paths that led from, and must wind back to God.

NO WORK FOR HIM.

Out in Missouri is a man who, al.

Of mountain. Solid rock forms the
floor and roof of this dwelling, and
the old man is very little burdened
with furniture.
Shrinch Is an anti-labor apostle. 1t
is his conviction that the world owes
living to every one brought into 1t.
and that labor Is a sin. He has made
a positive demonstration OF his theory
in his own case, for he has never
toiled. Yet he lives in absolute con
tentment, and has the natural happi.
ness Of the primitive Indian. lie says

The land on which the old man lives
belongs TO him by right of occupation.
1t consists of about one hundred and
fifty acres. and is all that Shrinch pos
sesses. OF course 1t would be work
to cultivate the land so it Is neglected,
Hunting. fishing and fiddllng, ac-
cording to the old man. do not come
under the category of work, and he Is
an expert at each branch. Almost all
his time Is spent in the mountains.
where with his old fashioned rifle, he
amuses himself by bringing to earth
deer. wild hogs. or quail. When he
gets tired of this he goes fishing. and
numbers OF trout does he pull out of
the clear mountain streams. Old

Whenever Shrlnch visits Springfield,
