He seemed to understand the ma
chine perfectly.
They went back into the office, and
David said:
There isn't any steady work just
now, but our engineer wants a few
days off, and if you would like the
place, you may come tomorrow
morning"
David held out a piece of money
as he spoke. The man shook his
head.
Not till L have earned it," and he
passed from the room.
David thought of the stranger
many times that day. How did it
come about that man OF so much
intelligence should be going about in
that way? He must know more
about him before he went away.
David Gregg was a young man to
hold the responsible position of own
er of such a great mill. Not long be-
fore his father had died, leaving him
this factory as legacy. But he had
learned the business thoroughly dur
ing his fathers lifetime, and was sue
ceeding well. He had the rare gift
of reading mems faces, and it seemed
to him in his visitor of that after
noon there were great possibilities.
When the man came back next morn
ing David noticed a great change; he
was clearly washed and brushed.
The smile certainly was on his face
now.
All that day the stranger stood at
his post like watchful sentinel.
The monster engine obeyed him like
a child in the hands of a giant.
So things went on for several days.
Then the regular engineer returned,
and the new man vent into the office
to receive his pay before going. The
smile had taken it's departure.

said David, cheerfully.
''Yes."
"And you are sorry?"
'Of course l don't want to crowd
fort to have something to do,
though"
"Did you ever do anything in the way
of Office work?"
Il kept set of books for some time.
/ AM rusty now"
The sad look deepened.
swell, it happens just now that I
could use a bookkeeper. l have been
keeping my books myself; but orders
are coming in fast, and wish you would
stay with me for awhile"
The look which came ever the stran-
gers face made Davids heart glad
The man put out his band.
This is too good to be true. 1t has
been so long since anyone gave me a
helping hand"

tect of his own fortunes. He is
rated as a millionaire and is known
throughout the country as the
founder and president of the Pru-
Dental Life Insurance company, of
Newark, n. j., but his wealth and
prominence were attained solely
through his own efforts and by dint
of extraordinary energy, persist
ence and hard work, unaided by
speculation. Born on farm near
Pennington, Me-, August Z, 1899, his
life has been as rugged as the noun
tains of his native state. His first
essay for himself was at Yale, with
err he went to fit himself for the bar,
but his health gave way under close
study and he turned his attention to
life insurance, a subject in which he
had become greatly interested while
at college. He began active opera
tons 81 years ago, with an office
staff numbering only three persons
and an outfit costing not more than
5000. To-day he has under him
more than 10000 persons in all parts
of the country. Besides being a
man of rare executive ability, Mr..
Dryden is a good talker. He lives in
a modest way, and it is doubtful il
one in ten of his Newark neighbors
knew until recently what political
party he supports.

where the crowbar had passed through
the head. This tool, all besmeared
with clots of brain and blood, was ly-
ing by the man. TWAS an inch and a
half in diameter and weighed 1874
pounds.
Under the circumstances the doctor
decided that the mans wounds were
fatal, and that recovery was an impos-
sibility. So the man was taken into
the house and laid out, after receiving
a hasty bath by the sympa the tic neigh.
bors of the family.
Again the next morning the doctor
was requested to come and see the
man, as he was still breathing. He did
so, and at the request of the family
made superficial dressing of the
wounds, expecting that, at most, the
mans life was prolonged but few
hours.
On the following day, as he found
life still present, he prescribed liquid
food by rectal injection, which course
was continued for about two weeks.
After Is days of semi-comatose con-
dition, the man finally regained con-
seriousness. He rapidly recovered
strength, and, with the exception of
losing the sight of his eft eye, seemed
none the worse for his terrible accident.
Finally he drifted westward, where
he died 81 years afterwards at the ripe
age of ~ wears.
