Fogg's home until FoGg showed that
he noticed his virtual refusal of hospi-
tality, then made the call.
Crimes have been committed for
love, but many a hand has been stay
ed by the same cause. Indeed. by love
the world has been drawn from bar
barism. Emsley was received by
Gladys Fogg. When he saw her ad-
vancing toward him with outstretched
hand, smile on her lips, warm vel
come in her eyes, his scheme Of venge-
ance tumbled like castles in the air.
Gladys was the only being from whom
before leaving England he had re-
ceived any evidence of affection. The
difference OF many years then be
tween them had melted away now
that she was a young woman, be
middle aged man. In the soul that
came out to him through the smile
and the eye he saw something to make
life worth living.
One day there was an exciting scene
on the exchange The price Of Ex-
celsior gold mining stock was going up
ten or twenty points with every bid.
Fogg had contracted to deliver the
shares he had sold the next morning.
To pay the market price for them
would ruin him. When the exchange
closed with 500 bid for the stock and
none offered Fogg went home know
ing that he would not be able to keep
his agreement. In other words, he
was a ruined man.
The next morning Emsley appeared
at Fogg's Office. Fogg looked up at
him, then bent his eyes again to the
floor.
You would like some Excelsior
stock, supposeT' Emsley remarked
unconcernedly.
Fogg looked at him again, but did
not speak.
How many shares have you sold?"
asked En1sley.
Fogg named the number Of shares.
EmsIey took a fat envelope from his
pocket and threw It on Foggs desk.
Fogg opened 1t, took out a number Of
stock certificates, looked at several Of
them, then turned his eyes inquiringly
on Emsley.
''Use what you need Of them" said
Emsley. 'to make your deliveries to-
day; tomorrow the bubble VIII burst"
Fogg met his contracts with the
stock lent him and when the col
lapse came the next day purchased
what he had sold, clearing a hand
some profit.
When Emsley appeared under his
true colors as a multimillionaire Fogg
called on him to speak his gratitude
for what he could not understand.
your thanks are not due to me-"
said Emsley. "but to the little girl
whom we both love-"

FIELD OF LITERATURE

The Century. Among the salient
features of the May Century unus-
ual Importance attaches to the pa
per on college Men and the Bible"

widespread revival of interest
among intellectual young men in the
text and teachings Of the scriptures.
The movement is being guided by an
international committee of the 7. Nj.

ready enrolled. The article is con-
tributed by Clayton Sedgwick Coo
per, who is the secretary charged
with organizing the work in the col
leges, and who has just returned
from a special mission to India,
China, Corea and Japan, where bible
study is spreading with surprising
enthusiasm, as will be recounted by
Mr.. Cooper in the June and July is
sues of the magazine. The prob
able neaTness of the world to secure
and swift intercourse by aerial tran
sit. is set forth with sensational force
of fact by an article in the May Cen
fury entitled "Over Sea by Airship."
1t is the joint contribution of 7. r.
MacMechen and Carl Dienstbach,
who are special students of aero
nautics, and are in close touch with
the German experimenters at the
head of the worlds advance in air
ship construction. Surprising per-
formances are predicted for the com
ing summer, with the promise of
successful oversee flights in the near
future. Some of the pictures accom-
panying the article convey a strong
impression of the reality of the
claims of German enthusiasts in air
navigation. The fiction of the May

number describes his journey From

The Argus Daily Short Story
His Revenge. Willard Brakeman.
Copyrighted. 1910 by Associated Literary PresA

John EmSIey ana Peter tOgg were
two young men in the wool business
in London. Emsley was a fine, open
hearted man, who preferred to do
business on generous principles, while
Fogg was shaver.
Emsley, being Of a speculative turn
of mind, took risks, lost and got him
self involved financially. He had done
his partner many favors. Indeed, Fogg
was indebted TO him for all he was.
Emsley therefore looked to FOgg to
help him out. He owed Fogg a thou
sand pounds, but looked to him not
only to give him time on the amount
but lend him money to tide him over
with his other creditors. Fogg not
only declined to lend. but forced Ems
ley into bankruptcy on his own claim
a week after EuS,ey had been ruined
there was change in the wool mar
bet that would have made him rich.
Emsley went to Australia, where he
endeavored TO recoup, but luck was
against him, and nothing that Ire
touched brought him money. He sank
lower and lower In worldly goods till
at last, being discouraged and having
q FANCY IOt l1e water, ne turned USaeF-
man.
He never forgot Fogg's ingratItude,
constantly broodiuG over the many
substantial favors he had done Fogg
and the fact that when the turning
point Of his own life came and a little
assistance was needed the man he had
made unmade him. He lived in q cab
in by himself on one of the points that
inclose Sydney harbor. He would be
out all day on the water and while
waiting for fish to take his hook
would think how delightful it would be
could he be revenged on Fogg-not
that he ever seriously considered such
revenge as possible; it was a sort Of
monomania with him.
One night after going to sleep, his
mind given over TO these desires for
revenge. he dreamed that he was out
on the bay and was pulling in a large
fish. He had much trouble landing it,
but when he did so and cut it open he
found within it's belly an enormous
diamond. He was familiar with the
