MacNish laughed. Indeed he does!"
he asserted. Hes my best friend
has been for years!"
Then why have l never met him?"
demanded Miss Alcock, severely. why
haven't you ever brought him around?
I've known you for perfect ages!"
There was indignation In her brown
syes, the righteous indignation Of q
sirl who feels she has been deliberate
II cheated.
As MacNish looked at her blankly,
trying to reason out just why she had
never met Marcy. he was conscious Of
an odd, new feeling. His swift and
amazed analysis Of It disclosed that
the reason she hadn't met Marcy was
that he didn't want her to meet Mar
cy!
It wasn't that MacNish was in love
with Daisy Alcock-far, far from 1t!
MacNish had other plans and matri-
mony was not included among them.

ness and attached a ball and chain to
an ankle so early In life. This, how.
ever, did not prevent him from seeking
tho society of attractive girls as did
other men. The only difference, Mac
Nish told himself, was that he kept
his head and regarded them with mere
philosophio liking.
It was a great relief not to be eter-
nally falling in and out Of love. The
reason he had sought the society of
Daisy Alcock so much and 80 long
was that in spite OF her p%rettiness she
seemed to have common and to
be willing to take the calm friendship
he offered and not expect it to develop
into sentimentality as many girls, he
was annoyed to say, did. He liked her
and he felt that she liked him and
that was all there was to it.
Therefore he could not understand
why he should have had a twinge Of
rebellion at the idea Of Randolph Mar
cy, who vas remarkably fascinating to
girls with his gay laugh and graceful
devotedneSS, as an acquaintance Of
Daisy Alcock's. MacNish prided him
self on being far beyond the foolish
stage where he thought a mans good
looks counted. All sensible people, he
felt, realized the charm Of q rough
hewn face and a Jaw that threatened
achievements. MacNish had that kind
OF face and jaw.
He told himself that he had no use
for q young woman who Judged a man
by his profile and could not look be-
low the surface. Yet, though unac-
knowledged, he dimly realized that,
running neck and neck with Randolph
Marcy, he did not count for much with
the average girl. Thus far he had
never cared. Not being a marrying
man, why should he Jul over the
fact that he was not a social favorite.
"Why-why. I don't know!" McNish

he asked for more. But he hasn't got the raise" He
wasn't refused it; simply his employer hasn't given 1t
to him
That one greatest reason why this young man
wouldn't think Of leaving his employer was that in his
work he felt he was getting a broad. liberal edneation
in his speciality. That house which. through a friend
there, had offered so per cent increase IN salary, was
slow, conservative, practically making no advance. In
his present place Of employment aggressive methods
and unquestioned money to put them through had made
1t q standing example Of ~uptodats progress.
Men in business have built up organizations where
they are besieged with applications for positions. Ordi-
narily that man who is an organizer in tho true sense
isn't searching out high priced, developed talent in
other quarters with which to back up his business ma
chinery. He is developing it himself. For this reason,
in many lines Of work, he has a double appreciation Of
the man who appreciates his organization for what
that organization is. II he has a man drawing $4,000
salary who refuses to accept $4,000 a year in a third
class e~stablishment-and time and again such cases
deyelop-should the organizer volunteer to increase the
employees salary because Of the refusal? The man Is
tried and proved through the refusal of that offer; he

thing. It Is a Joint product, the result OF the conlDIHeu
labor and sacrifices Of many races OF ANIMALS anu
birds. And no one Of these races has the right 10 take
moro than its share of the blessings OF civilization nor
to shift upon others more than their portion OF llfes
Ills.
In the ideal state man treats the races OF being ami
lated with him not as objects of pillage. but as beings
with rights and feelings and capabilities of happiness
and misery like himself. He Is kind to them and ever
mindful OF how he may gladden. and enrich their neces-
sariIy meager lives.
He gets real pleasure by simply seeing them happy
and realizing that he has in some measure contributed
to that happiness. He provides them plenty to eat COM
Portable homes, vacation days in which to rest, oppor-
tunities for pleasure and pastime, an education, and In
frmaries for times of misfortune and decline.

simultaneously the democratic trend In politics DO
came more and more noticeable. Accordingly to-day
the total absence of constitutional government Is a rar-
ity, and not only have most men the vote, out women
will q have il too. Even the orient, which was sup
posed to be unalterably absolutistic in government, has
offered US recently the gratifying spectacle OF one ma
tion after another, Egypt, India, Japan, China, Persia,
Turkey. demanding a constitution, and In many cases
obtaining 1t.
Rapid transit and rapid news have, however, not only
led to a close contact between the individuals OF the
several nations, but between the nations themselves.
Hence village politics has gradually given way to ma
tional politics, and this to international politics, and
men are consequently almost as sensitive to-day con-
corning what happens a thousand miles away as to
what happens next door.
