CHAPTER XVII

Ford pu. Miss Alicia UP the steps
of the Nadia and followed her into the
vestibule, meaning to fight it out with
Mr.. Colbrith on the spot, ard hoping
he might have a private audience with
the president for the doing Of it.
The hope was not denied. Penfield.
who was acting as private secretary
to Mr.. Colbrith, en- route, appeared in
the passag@way to say that Ford was
wanted in the presidents state-room.
"Well, M. Ford, what are we wait
ing for?' was the querulous demand
which served as Mr.. Colbrith's greet
ing when Ford presented himself at
the door of the private compartment
Ford's reply lacked the deferential
note. He had reached point at which
his job was not worth as much as it
had been.
Il have just brought Miss Adair
back from the top of the pass, where
we met Mr.. Frisbie, my chief OF CON
struction. wished to ask him if he
thought the track was safe for your
car. and he says, most emphatically,
that it Is not. l can not take the re-
sponsibility OF sending the Nadia to
the end -of.track''
The presidents thin face was work
ing irritably. II haven't asked you TO
assume any responsibility, Mr.. Ford
If the track is safe for your material
trains, 1t is safe enough for my car
But didn't send for you to argue the
point. desire to have the Nadia TAX
ell to the front. Be good enough to
give the necessary orders
Ford tried again. In addition to the
precarious track there were few or no
unoccupied sidings, especially near
the front. Moreover. there was no tel.
egraph service which might suffice for
the safe dcspatching OF the special;
train. Their" might be eItire sections
over which the Nadia would have to
be flagger hy q man on foot. and
The president cut him Off with al.
most childish Impotence.
'I don't know what your object is
in putting SO many stumbling blocks
in the way, Mr.. Ford he rasped. "a
suspicious person might say that you
have been doing something which you
do not wisl: 10 have found out"

you, if he wants to, if you don't need it just

going the way he ought to go.
Where Enemies Come in
A JUDICIOUS selection of enemies is an effective
way of making friends of a certain kind Many
has made excellent reputation for himself
merely by the enemies he has made. But L don
think much of this enemy business, because that
carries with it suggestion that you ready to
harm somebody when you have chance And
when you have feeling like that it is pretty likely
to grow until you find yourself trying to Justify
hitting him when he isn't looking; There are some
and that's human enough,-peope that seem to be
without redeeming quality so far we can see:
but that's probably because our vision is limited
miserable to be without any good whatever
III cheer for good fighting man any day; but
am not so strong for the man that is fighting merely
to accomplish something worth fighting tor. he
probably will have to defeat the other fellow in
this struggle; but maybe, after it is over he might
be able to help the defeated start over again,
and start right. And he should be the one most
able to help because he knows the other weakness.
The helpful man is the one VINO mas tHe IloSC
frends-don't forget that. But it doesn't mean
merely lending few dollars or many dollars, even
when dollars are most needed. 1t means under

wrong. Often it is only necessary to change the

miserliness. 1t said of him that he hadn't a
friend in the world, and those who couldn't keep
more than three Jumps ahead of starvation used
to cite him a fine argument against thrift. When
one man said to another, You
Deacon Blank!" it usually meant fight.
One day somebody that knew told, and then
despised in the community was an unm1t1-
gated fraud All the years while people had been
hayng him he had been secretly giving away large
sums of money to people that really needed 1t.
Anonymous benefactions that had been credited to
others were traced to him. He had whole pension
list of widows and orphans he oked after and no
BODY ever did learn how many boys and girls he
was educating. He was mighty shrewd about his
benefactiOns.
1t took the people of that city little time to re,
cover from the shock In fact, they all
tangled up in surprise and chagrin and adulaton
for the deacon He didn't care much for the pub
licity. Being found out rather took the zest from
human side of him responded to the friendly over
lures for peace and forgiveness Not one syllable
of reprOach crossed his Elps which shows what
really big man he
Now, you see, the deacon must have had few
really good frends,-real friends that knew him
for what he was, whom he could trust, else he
could not so long have done good by stealth,-the
kind of friends that were loyal to his wishes even
when they must have been bursting with lndgna,
ton because of the injustice of his townsrnen. L
don't suppose the deacon had any more real friends
after he found out; but he gained the frendll-
ness of the whole city. And thing like that IS
worth having.
Why the World Grows Better
DON'T get the notion in your head that it is the
- mere giving that makes friends 1t is true as it
is of money that reckless improvidence in giving IS
likely to drive those really worth while from you.
Don't give unless you pretty sure it will do some
thing,-good preferred of course. But Judcious
giving isn't enough You must know how to receive
as we'll give. If the deacon had taken the ad-
vances of his townspeople anxious to make amends
in any other spirit than he did, the result wouldn't
have been nearly SO admirable. It's really remarkable
how many people there in this world anxious to
help the other fellow out, that don't make move
simply because they don't know how, Every time you
hear of doing something big and generous
that you didn't think he capable Of you wonder
what in the world got into him. Nothing got into
him; it's the other way about. He found way
to let something out that he had bottled up inside
of him all along. Haven't you noticed that when
you hear of these things you rather feel there must
be lot in him that you didn't suspect? And don't
you feel much more disposed toward helping some
chap along yourself? That's the way it works.
That's why the world keeps on getting better right
along.
There may be unfortunates that aren't
able to have rock bottom friends; but they
