Hurrah for Tom Hicks: He's
 All Right.

A story is told in dispatch from Bakersfield (presumably California; of Tom Hicks, who was buried 60 feet un- der ground by tunnel accident and came out alive and cracking jokes after lying their surrounded by dead and pu- trefying companions for seventeen days.
 When the crash came Hicks was un- der the car making some repairs. His fellow laborers were either killed out right or died shortly after. Hicks de- tails the account of each one, for he says it was wildly burned into his memory.
 After lying for some time under the car, he tapped on the water pipe with his wrench and was surprised to hear an answering tap. The water was drained from the pipe, and the rescuers were able to carry on conversation with him.
 A small pipe was passed through the large one and milk was pumped in to Hicks, this being his sole food.
 During the entire time the men were at work, Hicks was always cheerful, and thousands of visitors went to the place to hear him talk to the men on the surface. It was not believed he could be rescued alive.
 When the workmen said they would reach him in thirty hours, which would be on Monday, Hicks, talking through the pipe, het box of cigars that he would not be raleased before Tuesday He won the cigars, for it was a few minutes after midnight that he crawled from under the ear and stood up. At first he was little weak, and staggered, but soon he seemed to be as cheerful as though nothing had occurred. He was cheered by the little crowd that had gathered, as he stepped out of the tunnel.

Very slowly and attentively Loder
read the letter, and, with the extreme
quiet that with him invariably covered
emotion, he moved to the desk, wrote
a note and handed ii to the waiting

ND Loder dined with Lillian

I'M when society expects, even ex-
acts, much. He dined, not
through bravado and not through cow
ardice, but because it seemed the OBJ
vious, the only thing to do. To him
scene of any description was diStaSte-
full. To Lillian it was unknown. In
her world people loved or hated, were
spiteful or foolish, were even quixOtic
or dishonorable, but they seldom made
scenes. Loder tacitly saw and tacitly
accepted this.
Possibly they ate extremely little
during the course Of the dinner and
talked extraordinarily much on sab
jects that interested neither, but the
main point at least was gained. They
dined. The conventionalities were ap-
peased. The silent, watchful servants
who waited on them were given no
food for comment. The fact that Lo-

fact that he paused on the doorstep

thing lost, sought for and found again.
Realization Of his feeling for her al
most came to him as he stood there
looking ct her. 1t lowered about him,
1t tipped him, as it were. with its
wings; then it rose again ana scared
away. Men like him-men keen to
grasp an opening where their careers
are concerned and tenacious to hold is
when once grasped-are frequently the
last to look into their own hearts. He
glanced at Eve, he acknowledged the
stir OF his feeling. but be made no
attempt TO define its cause. He could
no more have given reason for his
sensations than he could have told
the precise date upon which, coming
downstairs at S o'clock, he had first
found her waiting breakfast for him.
The time when all such incidents were
to stand out, each TO a nicely in its ap-
pointed place. had not yet arrived. For
the moment his youth had returned to
him; he possessed the KNOWLEDGE of
work done, the sense Of present com
partnership in a world of agreeable
things: above all. the steady, quiet con
viction Of his own capacity. All these
things came to him in the moment of
his entering the room, greeting Eve
and passing TO the breakfast table;
then, while his eyes still rested con
tentedly on the pleasant array of china
and silver. while his senses were still
alive to the fresh, earthly scent of
Ewes violets, the blow so long dreaded
so slow in coming-fell with aecnmu-
lated force.
