heard her sing it; and somehow, BY
fate, he had been tossed into the
same adventure with herself.
Unconsciously, Agaths's generous
heart began to swell with pride in
James strength and courage, with
gratitude for. his goodness to her,
and with an almost motherly pity for
his present plight. She would admit
no more than that; but that, she
thought, bound her to him By ties
that would never break He would
always be different to her, by reason
of that night and what she chose to
term his splendid heroism. She had
seen him in his hour of strength. that
hour when the overman makes half
gods out of mortals. 1t was the heart
of youth, plus the endurance of the
man, that had saved them both. 1t
had been a call to action, dauntlessly
answered, and he himself had avowed
that the struggle, the effort, even the
final pain, were worth living forE
Thinking of his white face and feeble
voice, she prayed that the high gods
might not regard them worth dying
for.

YOUNG VANDERBILT DIGS COAL

In Five Hours at Pennsylvania
Mine.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Workmen in the
Truesdale mine of the D., L. & w.
company at Nanticoke we're given a
surprise when told that Harold Van
derbilt and George F. Baker, Jr., Of
New York, had worked in the mine as
miner and laborer and cut enough coal
to load regulation car.
Young Vanderbilt and Baker accom-
panied Viee-President e. E. Loomis on
tour of the road. They went into
the mine wearing the regulation over
alls, blouse, and cap and lamp. They
wore gloves, which are uncommon in
the mining region.
They toiled several hours, and when
they had cut enough to fill car they
loaded the car, taking few hours
longer. 1t took them five hours to
perform their task.

without his attributes of divinity. In
the ordeal of the night before he had
shown the highest order of patience,
endurance and courage, together with
a sweetness of temper that was itself
lovable. But beyond this, what sort
of man was he? Agatha could not
tell. She had seen many men Of many
types, and perhaps she recognized
James as belonging to a type; but
if so, 1t was the type that stands
for the best of New England stock.
In the centuries back it may have
brought forth fanatics and extrem-
lists; at times 1t may have built up
it's narrow walls of prejudice and
pride; but at the core it was sound
and manly, and responsive to the
call of the spirit.
Something of all this passed
through Agatha's mind, as she tried
to read Jims face; then, as he stirred
uneasily and tried to throw off the
light boughs that she had spread over
him. she got up and went to the edge
OF the water to moisten afresh the
bandage for his forehead. Involuntar-
lily she shuddered at sight of the dark
water, though the tapping waves,
pushing up farther and farther with
the incoming tide, were gentle
enough to soothe a child.
She hurried back to Jim's couch
and laid the cooling compress across
his forehead. The balsam boughs
about them breathed their fragrance
on the night air, and the pleasant
gloom rested their tired eyes. Grad
ually he quieted down again; his rest
lessness ceased. The long twilight
deepened into darkness, or rather into
that thin luminous blue shade which
is the darkness of starlit summer
nights. The sea washed the beach
with it's murmuring caress; some
where in the thicket above a night
bird called.
In a Granny of the rocks Agatha
followed out the sand, still warm be-
meath the surface here where the sun
had lain on it through long summer
days, and made for herself bed and
coverlet and pillow all at once. With
the sand piled around and over her,
she could not really suffer; and she
was MORALLY tired
She looked up toward the clear
stars, Vega and the jeweled cross al
most in the zenith, and rudy Antares
in the body of the shining Scorpion.
They were watching her, she thought,
tonight in her peace as they had
watched her last night in her strug-
gle, and as they would watch after
all her days and nights we're done,
And then she thought no more. Sleep,
blessed gift, descended upon her.

Although Never Dormant, II Has
Been Proved They Have Special
Hours of Activity.

A celebrated scientist has made the
interesting announcement that there
are more microbes in the air at nine
o'clock in the morning and at nine
o'clock at night than during any 9TH
er periods of the day. He has also
discovered that the percentage Of mi
crobes in the atmosphere is less at
three o'clock in the morning and three
o'clock in the afternoon than at any
other times The explanation ad-
vanced for the partially Of the mi
crobe for nine o'clock a. m. and p. m.
is that the "microbe hour" is con-
trolled by the movements Of people.
From FIVE to nine In the morning they
are going from their homes to their
working places. and from five to nine
in the evening they are again jour
neying through the streets. either

A man of seventy-five, who of re-
cent years had extorted money from
charitable persons, in Paris, by pre-
tending to commit suicide. has fallen
a victim to his ingenuity. He used to
fasten a rope. attached to the ceiling,
about his neck with an easy running
moose. Then, having knocked over
the furniture, he would overturn the
chair on which he was standing and
remain hanging by the rope. Alarm
ed by the noise, the neighbors would
rush In and cut him down. After be-
ing revived he would depict his state
of distress in such moving language
that money would be forthcoming for
his relief. Later he would repeat the
trick In another house, invariably

CHAPTER X.
The Heart of Youth.


Agatha Redmond. can you hear
me?"
She caught the voice family. as If
It were a childs cry.
I'm right here, yes; only wait just
u second" She could not instantly
free herself from her sandy coverings,
but she was wide awake almost at
the first words James had spoken.
Faint as the voice had been, she
recognized the natural tones, the
strongest he had uttered since coming
out of the water.
The night had grown cold and dark,
and at first she was a trif1e bewilder-
ed. She was also stir and sore, al
most beyond bearing. She had to
creep along the sand to where Jim
lay. The fire had burned wholly out,
and the sand felt damp as she crawled
over it. When she came near, she
reached out her hand and laid It on
Jims forehead. He was shivering
with cold.
You poor mani And | sleeping
while ] ought to be taking care of
you! I'll make the fire and get some
milk; there is still little left"
AS she tried to make her aching
bones lift her to her feet, she became
aware that the man was fumbling at
his coverings and trying to say some
thing She bent down to hear his
words, which were incredibly faint.
Il don't want any fire or any milk
only wanted to know II you were
there" he said diffidently, as IL
ashamed of his childishness.
She leaned over him, speaking gen.
tly and touching his head softly with
her firm, cold hands.
You're a little better now, aren't
you, after your sleep? Don't you feel
little stronger"
Yes, I'm better, lots better" he
whispered. Il must have been sleep
ing for ages. When l woke up
thought had beastly chill or some
thing; but I'm all right now; only
suddenly / felt as If must know If
you we're there, and If it was you"
