Success: Ten years Thomas A. Ed
ison was a. undomesticated man. His
workshop and his chemical laboratory
held such powerful sway over his mind
that he was only supremacy happy when
"up to his eyes" in work. Gradually, al
most insid!ously, the wizard" has been
weaned away from the weaving Of his
spells. and now a new and more potent
power than ever before controlled him
has gained its mastery over him. This Is
the power or love. Though the great in
vsntor even now works as few men Of his
age and accomplishments are in the habit
OF doing, the last few years have seen a
steady relaxation of his toll. Thu time
has passed when he was wont to lock
himself in a room and work sixty hours
at a stretch without taking more than
an hours sleep at various intervals In
that time.
When Mr.. Edison tolls now, there Is
one who shares his labors with him.. j.
is Mrs. Edison, his second wife. Sc Is
the daughter of John Miller, who invent
ed the famous Miller moving machine,

ability. 1t Is throuea this additional bond
of genius that they are united. She Is

They were in one Of the Connecticut av-

younger a compactly built, strong faced
boy, or young man, just now looking
somewhat dissatisfied, and his companion
a little past middle age, handsome, ,schol-

isidering myself one Of the luckiest young
fellows In the country. All the boys in
my village have regarded me with open
ENVY since it. was known that Senator
;Starke had promised me a nine hundred
dollar appointment whenever !. should
come to Washington. Up there I got a
dollar and a half a day and wore old
clothes and was a nobody; here I can have
a splendid salary and dress like a gentle
man. Why-but T beg your pardon, Mr..
Cory" lowering his voice as the car
stopped at New York avenue, 1T don't
mean to be rude. You lave been in
washington a long time and In office,
and of course know more p about such
things than lido. I came to you first be-
cause you were originally from my Will
age, and I thought maybe you could give
lme some points. Indeed, the man ]
worked for advised me to seek you out.
And It's very nice of you to go with me
to the capitol, to present me to Senator
'Starke. But I'm sure you are mistaken,
yor-or that you don't quite understand my
position. Why. this appointment is to be
permanent so long as I prove myself COM
petent. Senator Starke wrote for his sis

The boy was leaning Forward now, his
face flushed, his eyes sparkling. In his
expression was something almost akin to
hero worship. The older man noticed it
and sighed.
IT think I understand he said, almost
gently. "You have told me part, and I
have read a good deal more between the
lines. Ever since you were five or six you
have been planning a stronger future for:
yourself. You nave worked and studied
and denied yourself to this end. You say
you were. only making a dollar and a half
a day; but you liked the work, and the
live stock, and have familiarized yourself
with all the details and interests of the
farm. You were one Of the strong boys

Is apt to change its appearances. Did you
ever meet Senator Starke?"
INC, sir, I worked near where his sis
ter lives, as I told you, and she-she
seems to have got it INTO her head that I
saved her life when the house burned, and
h wrote to her brother about 1t, and
about how 7 had been getting my ,educa-
ton. and a whole lot Of such stuff. And
then he wrote for her to offer me this
appointment. Why, Mr.. Cory" his en-
barrassment suddenly vanishing at the
recollection, # was so %astounded that I
couldn't eve thank her, but had to run
off into the woods where could shout. If
I had been offered a wagon load Of money
I couldn't have been half SO amazed and

Yes, sir. The village people speak

are very proud to talk about those days.
They say you was man who made your

earn money for your schooling, studied
