Suddenly there was a jolt of set
brakes, then crash. moment of sus-
pense in which he saw an agonized face
opposite his, and then darkness. When
he came to himself he was lying on his
side beneath a pile of debris. Car
chairs and broken boards were piled
above him. Close to him he saw her
white face, with disheveled hair and
wide open eyes.

NO" she said slowly. 81 think not.

I'm not afraid" she said. But you

He said nothing, but began another
struggle for freedom, enraged at his
own helplessness. Outside was a con
fused din of AK blows and voices. He
listened. An ominous crackle came to
his ears, and even as he chOlled down
a curse an acrid smoke was borne in
upon them. He covered his face with
his free hand.
"Oh, my God" he groaned. ITO have

That given occupation is pursued
for sport and no longer as a means OF
livelihood does not necessarily with
draw it from the category of things
useful for training. The natural boys
pursuit of frogs, birds and woOdchuckS
is a survival of habit indispensable
to primitive man. Hunting and fish
ing were the most necessary means
of livelihood for savages. They are
pursued now as sports as we'll as for
livelihood, and there is good training
in them when practiced merely as
sports. They teach civilized man alert
ness, accuracy of observation, quick
ness of action. endurance and patience,
just as they developed these valuable
qualities in generations of savages,
who never knew what humanism, al
truism aud idealism We're. The justifi-
cation Of unproductive athletic sports,
like ball games. races of all sorts and
dancing, lies in the facts that they de-
velop in civilized man some of the in
valuable qualities which hunting and
fishing developed in savages and that
they recreate and revive in people who
lead the unnatural life of civilization

Indeed! n Samuels had been going

CLOSE TO HIM HE SAW HER WHITE FACE.
rette he began packing his suit case.
In the morning, despite the threats and
entreaties of Barry and his guests, he
departed. 1t was his ideals of honor
that said he must go; it was his square
jaw which caused this decision to be
carried out, but it was his newly dis
covered heart which tortured him
poignantly with pictures of a girl be-
hind the palm screen, scarlet checked,
with her eyes on the fox rug. He went
to the other side of the continent.
1t was June when he came back east.
At the office he found a letter from
Barry saying he would never be for
given if he did not run up into the
country for a day or two upon his i'm
mediate return. For a moment the
Thought of going there filled him with
a vague dread, but this he put sturdily
from him.
Come. closer ranks therep' he said
grimly to himself. Don't skulk behind
the bushes in that fashion" And, fore
stalling his arrival by telegram, he left
bate Saturday afternoon for Barry's
place.
When Thorpe boarded the train he
went at once to the smoking compart-
inent of the Pullman to finish his cigar.
The sun had gone down behind the
bills and mellow twilight lay over the
green meadow lands across which the
brain was speeding when he rose to go
10 his seat in the car. AS he passed
down the aisle he suddenly stopped
short, aware that every nerve in his
body was tingling. He had come race
10 face with Emily Royce.
The seat just ahead of her was va
cant, and after an interchange of sur
prised greeting he dropped into it. If
the cardiac disturbance returned with
renewed vigor the square jaw was as
tense as steel, and no hint Of the true
state of his feelings was conveyed to
her. Their conversation, moreover, kept
within bounds quite consistent with his
deals of honor-small talk about the
fBarrys, town or the view from the
window as they sped through some pic
uresque bit of country. Thorpe was
ffhinking vaguely that this meeting

Thorpe had ideals of honor and a
square jaw. The latter showed that he
had the courage and determination to
keep the former above compromise. In
deed ThOrpe's ideals were no less unre-
f. lenting than his method of backing
them up. He also had a heart. Several
little affairs had made him aware of
the existence of that organ, but of its
real nature, its capacity for untold
pleasure and its potentiality of untold
pain, he was quite unaware until be

Then there began strange proceedings
in his cardiac region, the like of which
he had never before experienced. He
rode with her through the autumn
lanes, he shot with her in the autumn
woods. The world and its cares were
4 somewhere far away, and life was very
new and strange and altogether charm
ing.
1t was the evening of the impromptu
dance that Thorpe came back to earth
with a shock. He and Emily were
seated behind a screen of friendly
palms. Some one was playing a Wald-
teufel waltz on the piano, and the
swish of skirts and the click of dainty
shoes on the polished floor came in
pleasant rhythm. They had drifted
from the shadows of commonplace talB
into deeper waters. Her cheeks were
4 scarlet and her eyes had dropped 'tC

were on the edge of his tongue, but
they were never said, for suddenly the

regret it very much because l
believe that the issuing of such

contempt. 1t breeds discomfort
and will reap a whirlwind some
day from the seeds so sown.
THAT day may come in the
not distant future when the

of injunction in their favor.

it from discharging any en-

such employees a certain fixed

greater departure from the
true principles that ought to
govern when issuing writs.
