Suddenly Mark felt anger, hot an
ger, at this arrogant young man, not
so many years his senior, who baited
philanthropists with as faint scrupling
as he rough-handled the seeker of
work. Henley saw him stiffen.

CHAPTER Il-continued.

He went again to the cupboard and
took down battered tin candlestick.
He lighted it's candle and started
toward the inward door. Halfway, he
stopped abruptly and turned, his
mouth working strangely.

Simon went to the window and peered
out into the silvery night-toward the
south Then he moved heavily toward
the door He turned again; the flick
ering light from the candle threw the
lined patient face into sharp relief.
Good night, Mark"
Good night, father"
The door closed. For many minutes
Mark, left alone, absently fingered the
pocketbook and thought of the man
who had given it to him. Then he
blew out the lamp and rose from the
table.
He, too, paused at the window and
looked out into the night, toward the
south. He tried to see the sleeping
valley as his father had dreamed it,
aligbt with the fires of many furnaces
palpitant with the rumble Of many
engines. He thought he saw it.
The picture faded. He saw only
vague shadowy mass in a moonlit
meadow, the dismantled forge, silent
witness that for those who march
upon the battlefield that is called in
dustry is no third choice. They must
conquer-or be conquered!

No Menace In sanatorIum.

DR.. Edward l.. Trudeau. who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium in
the United States in 1885, says:
When l bought the first land on
which the Adirondack Cottage sanato-
rum is built, paid $25 an acre for it,
but the price was then thought abb
surdly high. My last purchase Of five
acres cost me $4,000. To my knowl-
edge, there has never been an employe
who came to the sanatorium in sound
health who developed tuberculosis
while there; and sanatorium can no
more endanger the health of the neigh
borhood in which it is built, even IL
the residences are at its very gates,
than it could if it were placed on top
of a high mountain miles away from
habitation."

CHAPTER III.
The Masters.

He found himself, a lonely foreign
figure knowing not whittier he would
go, somehow in the city's heart.
Chance led him to the principal thor
oughfare. The city had begun to quit
its toll, and the released toilers were
pouring into the street, an endless un-
ordered horde, needless of him as they
were of one another. Never before had
he seen so many people.
He had a confused sense of being
sucked into a narrow, gloomy canyon
through which poured a flood of hui
manity, a treacherous, dangerous tor
rent, with many cross-currents. Count

Full darkness fell. He paused under

gaudy red-and-gold interior broken by
many columns that to the inexpert
eye somewhat resembled marble. Uni

dressed men lounged in easy chairs or
sauntered leisurely about. Many lights
burned brilliantly. He looked within
longingly.
While he debated whether or not to
enter this expensive-looking hostelry-
a porter swooped upon him and
snatched from his hands the ancient
carpetbag that held his slender ward
robe.

He followed the porter to the desk,
painfully conscious of the figure he
cut, uncouth, out of place. A clerk
of lofty mien placed an open register
before him.

Mark wrote II.
'"And your town"
Mark hesitated-and then, with a
logged lowering of his head, firmly
wrote the name of that city.
In the dining room that night many
smiles we're cast at the raw country
youth. He did not regard himself as
a subject for mirth. AS he attacked
the strange viands the waiter set be-
fore him, little of his self-confdence
returned. The vivid sense of a cruel,
overpowering entity faded. Home

Good EatlnQ.

"Metchnikoff, the Metchnikoff of
sour milk fame, is soon to celebrate in
Paris" said Paris correspondent on
furlough in New York, his SEVENTEEN
birthday.
"Since his sixtieth birthday, when
he began his sour-milk regime, Metch-
nikoff has not aged. On the contrary
he has become rejuvenated.
ITO the committee that has in
charge the splendid honors of his
birthday celebration Metchnikoff gave
some advice on the benefits of frugal
eating-the benefits of taking no alco-
hol, very little meat and an abundance
of we'll cooked green vegetables. And
he ended his lecture with this crystal
of wisdom:
Good eating makes more pessi-
mists than bad luck"

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.

1t seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness,
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee is dis
missed and Postum used as the regu-
lar table beverage.
The reason is clear. Coffee con-
tains a poisonous drug-caffeine-
which causes the trouble. but Postum
contains only the food elements in
choice hard wheat with a little mo-
lasses.

wrote as follows

purred, mo man in his senses could

The speakers had turned the corner
Of the veranda and come upon the
eavesdropper. Thus for the first time
Mark Truitt looked upon the two men
in whose legions he was to conquer.
Who has not in fancy's gallery a
portrait of jeremiah Quinby, taken
from the prints of the day when his
star swept so brilliant through the
sky? The lofty brow seems to shelter
very ferment of noble projects. The
grave eyes and mouth speak to us of
great soul anguished by the sight OF
suffering humanitys needs, which he
is bravely. self-effacingly seeking to
relieve.
Photography has been less kind TO
Thomas Henley. No philanthropy has
claimed him as its apostle And then
he was a less promising subject for
the art. His body was squat and
heavy; his face was bony and ugly and
arrogant, often still further marred by
a cold, cynical sneer. A lesser man,
thus presented, would have been repul-
sive. Yet from Henley radiated a ire
mendous vitality that made him mag
netic or compelling as he chose-the
dynamic quality that could galvanize

Mark looked no more upon Quinby;
he understood why the philanthropist
had so meekly swallowed the inso-
lence.

Henley charged upon him, gripping
his arm.

lade OF profanity, was hard put to
keep his temper in leash; he was hard
er put to restrain the mutinous Swede,
who itched with desire for assassi-
nation. Toward the end OF the day
even the philosophic Marcel grew i'll
natured and snarling. Somehow Mark
felt their hospitality of the noon hour
had put upon him a responsibility for
them, though they were his seniors
by at least ten years.

minded Marcel. And one must work"
"One mus not be treat like a dog,
m'sieu." Marcel ripped out a long
French oath. "Jo'ann, you ave my
consen to keel dat 'Oula'an."
Suddenly the Swede dropped his
shovel. "Ay bane by endt. Ja!"
Johann was too slow in his mental
processes to be shamed into patience.
Pick up that shovel and get to
work." Mark commanded sharply.
The Swede blinked stupidity for a
moment, then slowly obeyed.
You our boss, heinz" Marcel
sneered.
NO, Marcel, since noon-your
friend" Mark responded.
Marcel, too, stared and then. with a
gesture of contrition, bent himself dog
gedly to his task.
Mark thought he heard a chuckle.
He looked up to meet the eyes of the
tanner. AS to the chuckle, he may
have been mistaken; in the keen i'm
personal glance was no sign of recog-
milton. Henley, with the labor boss,
departed on his tour Of inspection.
Mark gave himself anew to his work,
with sudden inner expansion. Not
Henley, but the submissiveness of his
malcontent friends" was the cause
of that expansion.
Mark learned that there are right
method and a wrong of doing even
the simple task of plying a shovel;
that there is a fashion of handling
even so common an animal as the day
laborer which brings out his highest
efficiency. He found, moreover, that
he had the gift-granted as often to
the false and the foolish as to the true
and the wiee-of popularity. Men
liked him; they laughed at his jokes !;
on days acquaintance they confided
to him their troubles-squalid TRACE
dies they were, alas only too often.
Marcel always called him IN sieu," a
distinction he accorded not even to
Blair the labor boss.
One chill, foggy evening, as the
whistle blew, he looked about him and
realized that the excavation for the
new mill was completed.
