this new world could not have been

As to the child herself, she grew
steadily and normally into young girl

times sullen In mood. yet withal a steI
or so higher than her mother on thu

clean, good family rearing. and good

the time her father came to be a man

| in the clerical machine OF the railway
office where he worked; for very natu-
rally, being an American girl of small
! means. she took up shorthand, and
was licensed to do violence.
The head OF this family, as he at
tanned additional solidity OF figure,
grew even heavier of brow, trod with
even more stateliness about his ap-
pointed duties. At forty-seven years
OF age his salary was bat one hundred
and twenty-five dollars a month. That
showed only the lack of wisdom of
others, not unfitness in himself.
And yet all this time success was

It was this, focused suddenly and
Unexpectedly by the lens of accident

which marked the air and attitude OF
John Rawn one evening on his return
to his home at the conclusion OF his
days work

I've got the idea. It's going to win.
We're going TO be rich. I've believed
it all along, and know it now! Laura,

For some time Mrs Rawn said moth

But today there was something so
I sincere in his air as to take her be-
yond her own forced insincerity with

''What is it, John?" she demanded.
You can't understand It, Laura;
| but listen. Give the people something
| they haven't had; get them so they
have to have It. We can't go fast
enough. But we're going faster. Wen

! That's my business. That's my

get rich.
Laura, I'm going tc make It pos

did you come across It, John?" she
asked after little.
THE truth is, / picked 1t up from
