support in brief history of what has
happened to Mr.. and Mrs. John Pratt,
of Lacrosse, aged SO and 70, respect
lively. Pratt was once in the lumber
business, but through misfortune was
forced to the poorhouse three years
ago. A year later rich brother of
Mrs. Pratt, living in the west, died,
leaving her fortune, upon which
they again took up life of luxury. A

couple almost starving, their money

o.,- Aerson with whom he could dis
cuss it with helpful freedom.
Do what he might he could not
bring himself to the point of tax
ing Charlotte into his confidence in
the matter of the book. Though it
was wholly underlined in his own
mind, the barrier was the one which
had been builded on the voyage up
the river. The more he saw of Char
lotte, and the more his love for her
grew and throve, the less possible
it became to look forward to day
when he might hope to tell her all
with fair probability of winning
her approval of the thing he had
done.
But with Margery no such difficult
ty existed. Her sympathy was al
ways quick and intuitive, and she
seemed to have the gift of saying in
stinctively the thing he craved most;
the thing he might have suggested if
she were not always beforehand with
him. He was not so besotted as to
believe that he had discovered in her
that other half of the artists always
incomplete circle; the one person in
the world who can fully understand
him. On the contrary, in his so
berer moments he thought he knew
her for what she was. But these dis
illusions grew less frequent as visits
to Mereside became more frequent,
and in time they began to disappear
altogether. For Mistress Margery
was wise in her generation, knowing
many things well and the heart of
a man better than any.
But about the book, which was to
settle once for all the vexed ques-
ton of the rights of man, they did
not always agree. AS first conceived,
the story was merely vehicle load
ed to Overlooking with the socialistic
protests of it's author. But in the
rewriting a new plot had been sub
stituted; suggested, nay, even out
lined, by Mistress Margery herself;
and on the keel thus laid the ven
ture built itself into something more
like a novel and less like a preach
ment. Griswold saw the growth of
it under his hand; saw the far-reach-
ing possibilities of it; saw also that
it was departing, despite his most
strenuous efforts, from the course
which he had pricked out on the
chart of the former endeavor. In
other words, the new book babe fair
to grow into something which the
publishers might accept and the pub
lie might buy and read, but of the
rights of man there was coming to
be less and less as the work pro-
crossed.
Being first of all an enthusiast,
Griswold dug deeply for the cause of

was laid upin the cabin of a North
Carolina mountaineer with a sprained
ankle, and, though he would willingly
have provided me with the best, the
fare consisted of pones, fried squirrel
and corn coffee every meal.
On the fifth day / must have let slip
some sign that things were growing
monotonous, for he looked over at me
and said:
Stranger, I reckoned to make a
change in this yere fodder, but it
didn't come about"
ooh, the fodder is all right I re-
piled.

all this, and thought he found it in
his new relation as an employer of
labor. At first he had told himself
that he would be a silent partner in
the iron works, leaving all the activi-
ties to the practical Raymer; but he
soon found this blankly impossible.
And with personal interest and the
shifting point of view came change,
gradual and almost insensible, in his
attitude toward mankind in general
and toward the workers in particu-
lar. Sc it came about that while he
was writing book, designed to over
turn the existing social order, he
was drifting slowly but surely into
the ranks of the oppressors.
The first open confession of this
change of creed came when the
threat of strike rose storm-cloud
like on the iron works horizon. Ray
mer was for temporizing with the
men, and for yielding something if
need be; but this Griswold fought
stoutly, growing more stubborn as
the threatening cloud increased in
size. If the men could not see for
themselves what was for their best
interests, they must be made to see.
But in reality it was Margery who
was responsible for the major
changes in the book. Caring nothing
at all for the ethical question in
volved, she cared a great deal for
the success of the author, and she
was shrewd enough to arrive quickly
at a double conclusions; that Girls
void was well able to write sue
cessful book; and that, left to him
self, he would assuredly spoil it with
his theories. So she labored faith
fully to keep him in broader road
and not without a goodly measure
of success.
but, Margery,"-(they were well
past the "Mr." and "Miss" by this
time)-"I can't do that" he said
one morning when they had been re-
working the plot through one of the
coy sittingroom talks.
Don't you see it begs the entire
question of labor and capital?'
II see that you can't help doing it
unless you are deliberately false to
your art" Ietorted the literary ora
Gle.
'You have put these people on the
stage, giving them certain characters,
and they must go on and do the
things that are consistent
Not if the consistent things are
going to make the entire picture out

She laughed. "How impossible
man can be-" she reioined. sweetly.

were already thronging the vesti-

honestly wishing he could rid him

Now it CHANGED that in stepping
Dack out of the sidewalk throng he
got in the way of the carriage con-

at his elbow said:
Excuse me; will you let the ladies
alight?''
Griffin gave place, and saw young
nan with a clean-cut, eager face
hand two young women from the
carriage. They were followed by an
elderly gentleman with eyeglasses;
and on the sidewalk the group fell
into pairs. Griffin could not well
help hearing the colloquy.
Il think the others will be here in
a few minutes, doctor. Shall we wait
and go in with them?"
Thus spoke the young man with
the clean-cut face; and at the older
mans negative he spoke again.
"Just as you please. If you will
take Miss Raymer and let me take
Miss Farnham, that will divide US
equally. The seats are all near to-
gether, but I couldn't get them all
in the same row."
Griffin stared hard at the speak

There is one grain of comfort in it
for me; if her face doesn't belle her,
she will tell me the truth. By Jove!

he is, has an eye for good looks. I've
never seen her equal in all my ups

SO much as suspecting that he had

Of curious packs, many Of which have
no little historical interest. One set,
made of ivory, is believed to have be-

with the great Duke Of Marlborough.

A MYST cry,

When We take an observation OF whats
going on around
We often think that wonders never cease.
For instance, there are people who appar-
emily are crowned
To live life of luxury and ease.
II their accounts were balanced less than
nothing would remain,
And prison fare they probably would
chew,
And yet they set the fashions and we follow
in their train.
We don't see how theydo it-but they DO.
Their homes are simply palaces of elegance
and art;
Their costly entertainments are dream
They lead in gay society and are consid-
cred smart,
And pass for greater lions than they seem.
While better folks are fasting they are
feasting night and day,
And pleasure is the object they pursue;
And yet if forced to settle what they owe
they couldn't pay.
We don't see how they do ft-but they O.
There are the politicians who an easy way
have found
OF living without doing any work
Arrayed in gaudy garments they are swag-
gering around
AS lazy and as saucy as Turk.
Although they are the enemies OF every
thing that's right,
Although We know they rule and rob US,
too,
They make themselves, ouu bosses and we
cheer them with delight.
We don't see how they do it-but they do.
There are the stock promoters, who are
working night and day,
In laying gold on other peoples shelves.
They kindly take your money and invest
1t in way
To realize a fortune-for themselves.
Their schemes are most nagnif1cent-the
profits are great,
They only grant their favors to few.
A million dollar company from nothing they
create.
We don't see how they do it-but they do.
There are the busy merchants who are al
ways-so they say
a selling things at less than what they
cost.
They all have bargain counters where they
give the, goods away
To crowds of crazy shoppers they exhaust.
Although they're losing money on each ar
ticle they sell,
According to their advertisements true,
They never look discouraged and are al
ways very well.
We don't see how they do it-but they do.
There are the foolish people who compel
themselves to bear
A burden growing heavier each day.
In keeping up appearances for those who
never care
They throw their peace and comfort all
away.
Their awful strain and worry is, in spite of
all their guile,
Quite evident to everybody's view
And yet with all their troubles they in
public wear a smile.
We don't see how they do it-but they TO-
