THE SOCIAL DUTY
By Berton Braley.

If you are a lawyer
Try to be a fine one,
Butcher or a baker,
Never be a shine one.
Tend your business rightly,
Do your overseeing.
But-don't be y work horse,
Be a Human Being.
Be a buzzing live wire,
Earn a bunch of money,
Bullock up above you,
When the sky's sunny,
Seize the joyous moment,
Time is swiftly fleeing,
Be a huge success, but
Be a Human Being.
People say we're here for
This thing, that or tother,
Seems to me we're meant to
Joy in one another.
It's a simple duty,
Very plain for seeing
Don't be just a grubber-

CHAPTER XVII.

Danny said O'Rourke
without looking up from the occupa-
tion which had engrossed his atten-
tiontfor the last three hours; and for
the first time in that period he spoke
audibly, making an end to the num-
bled confabulation he had been hold
ing with himself, a Murray's Guide,
Bradshaw, an Indian railway guide,
several steamship folders and large
colored map Of the Indian empire.
What days this day, Danny?"
Danny thought laboriously. "'Twas
this morn we lift tn Rance, sor?
Thin yestiddy was Wednes-
day"
And today Thursday, be logical
progress Of reasoning, eh?"
"Aw, yiss, sor.'
And what's the time?"
Danny consulted O'Rourke's watch
on the bureau. "A quarter av twilve."
Then bestir yourself, ye lazy good
for-nothing, and pack up me things"
"Aw!" cried Danny, expostulant.
Our train leaves at two. Ye have
an hour and half"
CAV, but yer honor, is ut no rist al
all we'll liver be havin'?"
"Ye can rest on the train,' said
O'Rourke. "I've just ten days left in
which to reach Rangoon, where I've an
appointment to keep with lady, Dan
ny, to wit, Madame O'Rourke. Dye
mind her, and do ye blame me, Dan
n.y."
Danny became suddenly extraordin-
arily busy. why did ye not say as
much TO begin with, yer honor?" he
complained. LAS If l wouldn't work
me hands to the stumps av
thin. ~
"'Tis now Thursday noon," con-
tinued O'Rourke thoughtfully. "The
two o'clock trains scheduled to land
us in Calcutta at ten Saturday night.
At eight Sunday morning a steamer
leaves Diamond Harbor for Rangoon,
scheduled for a fair-weather passage
CT three days. Thatll leave US lit
tie leeway, barring accidents. But
we've Lo time to waste"
"But how'll we be catching thot
steamer at Di'mind Hart n, sor? How
far's that from Calcutta, now, an will
there be thrains at that Eour av the
night?"
That's to be dealt with as 1t turns
up, Danny. There's only forty miles
between the two places, and If there's
no train, We'll charter motor-car or
a boat down the Hughli.
The latter expedient O'Rourke final
ly adopted, although he could have af-
forded comfortable night in a ho-
tel at Calcutta, had he deemed 1t wise.
But in the fifty-six hours Of unmitigat-
ed sweltering that he and Danny en-
dured in their flight across India he
had leisure to think matters over very
carefully, with the result that, ali
things considered, he felt justified in
assuming the world to be in league
against him and in shaping his course
accordingly. Therefore it were un-
wise to permit himself to be seen and
recognized in Calcutta, or even 10 lin
ger on the soil of India an instant
longer than absolutely necessary.
Within an hour, then, of his arrival
at Howran, he had, by dint of per-
sisterce and rupees, succeeded in hir-
ing launch to take him from the ter
minus by water to the steamer at Die
mond harbor-
