NO MONOPOLY OF BRAINS.
This Is the Age Of Opportunity For
the Able Man.

This Is the Age Of Opportunity For
the Able Man.
One Of the many hopeful signs of the
times is the apparent decay OF the
breed of so called great men, those
mighty personalities that in former
times stood out like solitary tree In a
vast prairie The reason for it, OF
course, is the distinction Of all those
old time monopolies Of brains which
stunted all human beings except few
who by chance rather than by superl-
ority Of fiber grew and developed.
There are thousands, literally thou
sands, of men now living who If they
had lived century or SO ago and had
done work similar to that which they
are doing without any very sonorous
fanfare upon the trumpets of fame
would have been the talk of the world
and the main topic of history. And
how many Of the so called great
achievements of so called great states
men, soldiers and thinkers Of former
times would be impossible today be-
cause those achievements depended
chiefly upon the ignorance and incapac-
ity of the overwhelming mass Of the
men Of their day!
Truly this is the age Of opportunity.

"Sweetheart," said her husband.
rank and regiment, Iris and he were
married in the English church at Hong
kong, for it was his wife's wish that
the place which witnessed his igno-
miny should also witness his triumph.
Soon afterward Robert resigned his
commission. He regretted the neces-
sity, but the demands of his new
sphere in life rendered this step i'm
perative. Mining engineers, laborers,
stores, portable houses, engines and
equipment were obtained with all
haste, and the whole party sailed on
one Of Sir Arthur Deane's ships to con-
voy small steamer specially hired to
attend to the wants Of the miners.
At last, one evening early in July,
the two vessels anchored outside Palm
Tree rock, and Mir Jan could be seen
running frantically about the shore,
for no valid reason save that he could
not stand still. The sahib brought MIN
good news. The governor of Hong
kong fe;G that any reasonable request
nfade by Anstruther should be granted
il possible. He had written such
strong representation of the. MohaE-'
medan case to the government Of In
dia that there was little doubt the re-
turning mail would convey an official
notification that Mir Jan had been
granted free pardon.
The micing experts verified Roberts S
most sanguine views after very brief
examination of the deposit. Hardly
any preliminary work was needed. In
twenty-four hours a small concentrat-
ing plant was erected and ditch
made to drain off the carbonic anhy'
cride in the valley. After dusk par
ty of coolies cleared the quarry of its
former occupants. Toward the close
of the following day, when the great
steamer once more slowly turned her
head to the northwest, Iris could hear
the steady thud Of an engine at work
on the first consignment of ore.
Robert had been busy up to the last
moment. There was so much TO be
done in a short space Of time. The
vessel carried a large number OF pas
sencers. and he did not wish to de-
tain them too long, though they one
and all expressed their willingness to
suit his convenience in this respect.
Now his share of the necessary prep
arations was concluded. His wife, Slf
Arthur and his uncle were gathered III
a corner of the promenade deck when
he approached and told them that ms
last instruction ashore was for light
TO be fixed on Summit rock as soon as
the dynamo was in working order.
"When we all come back in the colo
weather. he explained gleefully. I'VE
will not initiate the Sirdar by running
on to the reef should we arrive by
night"
Iris answered not. Her blue eyes
were fixed on the fast receding cliffs.
Sweetheart" said her husband
"why are you so silent?
She turned to him. The light OF the
setting sun illumined her face with IT'S
golden radiance.
Because 1 am so happy" she said:
"Oh, Robert, dear, so happy anu

divorce when the Hongkong affair had

was after Miss Iris, and there is no
doubt her fury helped on the fever.

he would have kept the wretched thing
