CHAPTER XIII.

The fall and early winter had beer

and blowing the thermometer dropped
many degrees. Old inhabitants tolc

cred in their sealskins, or, lacking
these, put on extra %flannels.
1t was during the cold weather that
behring's work took him one after.
DOR to Lakeview to look over the
work of the Amateur Art club. AS he
left the house after finishing his task
a dull roar fell IN his ear. He started
and listened eagerly-yes, it was the
lake. In a moment more his coat-col-
lar was pulled up about his ears, his
hat settled bore firmly over his eyes,
and he was on his way to the shore.
The lake had a peculiar fascination
for him. He could never resist 1t, es-
pecially when 1t was roaring and
laundering like this.
A few minutes walk brought him
In sight of the mounting, threatening,
white-capped breakers. His heart
leaped with e%xultation. The power of
the storm IA on him. He longed to
run, to leap. to wrestle with 1t and
scream himself hoarse against it's
tumult. 1t was like the ocean--that
long stretch of lonely shore as yet
unprotected by the breakwater.
Gradually. as he looked, be became
conscious of something homelike and
protected in the midst of the uproar
A thread of smoke rose from the chin
ney of a small, rude house, far down
the shore, almost within reach of the
threatening waves that ran up the
sandy beach. All about the house
boats lay stacked, evidently In winter
quarters; and here and there rem
nants of fshing-tackle showed the oc-
cupation OF fair weather. The house
was sheathed in rough red boards and
patched with artistic regularity. 1t

Helen was filled with enthusiasm
and scoffed at his suggestion of wait

charm is in the contrast" she pro-
tested. Don't you ~see?-winter quar-

Derring consented unwillingly. He
was obliged to go to Hyde Park for
the day, and 1t al not till four
o'clock that he was free to seek her
on the North Shore.
She was seated near the point from
which be had first seen the house, an

Undoubtedly much Of this Quicken
ed insight was due to the thought Of
Helen. who was never for q moment
absent from his mind. Whatever
work was engaging his hand or brain,
deep below it all vas a consciousness
of her existence, like a second ego,
only a thousand times dearer and
more inspiring than his own pe~rsonali-
ty. II seemed to give him a sixth
sense by which he perceived the beau
tiful-until Helen gave up in despair
the attempt to transfer to canvas all
that he brought to her notice.
1t became a common sight for her
sketching stool to be set up in some
sheltered corner Of the busiest part
of the city. Derring, who had dreaded
the experiment, saw, with a thrill, that
the quiet power of her personality
that so rested and soothed him was
felt here. The crowd either passed
her by or stopped for a moment to
look with respectful curiosity as the
work grew under her hand. Sometimes
a mason filled her water-can or a car
penter paused for a moment In his
work to adjust her umbrella. 1t was
the Chicago spirit-laissez faire, and
help when you can. Except for the
dust and rattle of the street she was
unmolested as in her quiet studio.

Shows Value of Steel Car.

That the steel cal is of great value
as a protection to passengers in the
event of collision was demonstrated
in a recent clash of two trains in
the Hudson tunnel, New York city.
There was no such t~elescoping as
would probably have occurred with
wooden cars, and the injuries were
merely such as resulted from the pas
sengers' being thrown down by the
shock of the collision.

eyes themselves"
II hope you didn't come all the way
up here in the cold just to be funny"
she responded severely. But she did
not vouchsafe him the glance. She
was absorbed in washing out the I'M
satisfactory sky for a second trial.
Derring did not go into the house.
He walked rapidly up and down the
beach, watching the angry sky and
the isolated little house. He fancied
that, as the early twilight settled
down, it stood out more distinctly and
yiyidly-emphasizing it's individuality
the work of man against the power
OF darkness.
At last he came and looked we her
shoulder.
Rather better, isn't it?" she asked
c~omplacently without looking up.
You have caught the very demon
Of the storm in those clouds"
1t vas true. She had done what the
water-colorist seldom achieves-suc-
ceeded in washing out her first at
tempt and replacing it with the desir-
ed effect. The thorough w~etting of
the paper or a touch of genius had
aided the second attempt, and the
result was a wash-clean and fresh in
color-and in the clouds what Derring
had called the demon of the storm.
Come" he said decisively as she
sat putting in the last few touches
lingeringly. Come. You must stop.
1t is too dark. You will be frozen"
She began to collect her sketching
materials.
Leave those for me. Go or to the
house and get warm. I'll bring your
traps"
She started obediently towards the
house, breathing on her cold fingers
to warm them. But-so fierce was the
wind-she made slow progress, and
before she reached the house he was
at her side. He opened the door that
ushered them into the low room.
The round faced Dutchwoman who
greeted them looked with kindly eyes
on the young lady. She hustled about
the room and placed an armchair lea
the fire. "You stayed out longer this
time" she said in a deep cultural
voice. She gave a quick look of inter
est from Helen to Derring.
Helen sank into the chair with a
grateful smile. Yes, l stayed out to
fin" She had slipped n~oiselessly
from the armchair to the floor.
With a quick exclamation Derring
dropped to his knees beside her.
ITS only the heat" said the Dutch
woman practically. "Give her this"
She had prepared a draught of brandy.
Derring poured it between the white
lips, around which a blue line was
slowly settling.
They watched for the effect-Derr-
ing eagerly, the woman with close at
tention. There was no sign of re-
turning life. Derring looked up in
despair and the woman hurried away
into an inner room for some other
remedy.
He leaned over the motionless fig
ure, listening. Slowly he gathered it
in his arms. Tenderly, p~assionately,
he drew her to him and pressed his
lips on the white mouth with its
shadow. She seemed to him already
dead-removed from caresses. Slowly
the lids fiuttered, a breath trembled
through the lips, and she lifted her
eyes to his, family.

Tho Gospel of Work.

Nothing strikes the foreigner more
forcibly in travelling through our
country than the fact that everybody
is at work. There is no leisure class
here as there is in most countries,
and there is very little of the senti-
ment so powerful in most countries
that puts an odium upon the man
who works with his hands. The stu
dents who come from South America
to the United States take back this
lesson and it is one of the most i'm
portant ones they can carry. The
American youth feels 1t no disgrace
to work his way through college, in
fact, most of them realize before they
get through that there is a real adj
vantage in being thrown upon their
own resources and made to under

The attorney for Lee O'Neill
Browne, the"Democratic leader" who
is under indictment for bribery in
connection with the election of Sena-
tor Lorimer, has raised the point that
it is no crime in Illinois to buy
vote for United States Senator. It
is well the court did not tlnd it nee
essary to uphold that plea. 1t does
seem, however, that in some in
stances men have not considered it
crime to purchase senatorial seats
At times they have not even consid-
cred it criminal to buy the Presiden-
cy. The truth is that it is just as
great a moral wrong for a greedy
trust to purchase a protective tariff
through the contribution to cam
paign funds of large sums of money
as it is to purchase a vote for a trust

ment of money directly to the men,
