All our WEAKNESS of suffering Is
without avail to leave even a little
memory among those for whom the
work is done. All that is wrought in
despair, all that is loveless and me-
chanical, falls to the ground. We live
for even so much as a brief life only
in that which carries the breath Of
our being, the love of our heart. II is
not in ceaseless routine and grinding
that we live. nor in what is small and
anxious. Machines will continue the
tale OF that forever. No cog will ever
be missed in that endless chain. But

we carry in our heart, the love with
which we love the being of another.

and no feature of our intercourse fits
the language you have ascribed to
her. On the contrary, there is la
mentable contradiction between facts
as they were and the fancies you have
made her indulge in. And this, as you
must acknowledge, not only proves
their falsity, but exonerates Miss Chal-

Yet she certainly wrote those let

or. The woman who brought them was
really her maid. We have not de-
ceived you in this"
Il do not believe you"
1t was not extensively said; but the
conviction it expressed was absolute.
Sweetwater recognized the tone, as
one of truth, and inwardly laid down
his arms. He could never like the
man; there was too much iron in his
fiber; but he had to acknowledge that
as a foe be was invulnerable and
therefore admirable to one who had
the good sense to appreciate him.

Ten minutes after Sweetwater's ar

home with the people he found there.

doorway of her home had been OBJ

OF his own affairs-of his business

were lost in the stress of their great

Doris.

Doris.
"A young girl named Doris Scott?"
The station-master looked some
what sharply at the man he was ad-
dressing. and decided to give the d.
rection asked.
There is but one young girl in
town of that name" he declared, land
she lives in that little house you see
lust beyond the works. But let me
tell you, stranger" he went on with
some precipitation
But here he was called off, and
Sweetwater lost the conclusion of his
warning, if warning it was meant to
be. This did not trouble the detect
i've. He stood a moment, taking in
the prospect; decided that the works
and the works alone made the town,
and started for the house which had
been pointed out to him. His way lay
through the chief business street, and
greatly preoccupied by his errand. he
gave but a passing glance to the rows
on rows of workmen's dwellings
stretching away to the left in seem
ingly endless perspective. Yet in that
glance he certainly took in the fact
that the sidewalks were blocked with
people and wondered If it were a holt
day. If so. it must be an enforced
one, for the faces showed little joy.
Possibly a strike was on. The anx-
iety he everywhere saw pictured on
young faces and old, argued some
trouble; but if the trouble was that,
why were all heads turned Indifferent
ly from the works, and why were the
works themselves in full blast?
These questions he may have asked
himself and he may not. His atten'
ton was entirely centered on the
house he saw before him and on the
possible developments awaiting him
there. Nothing else mattered. Brisk
ly he stepped out along the sandy
road. and after a turn or two which
led him quite away from the works
and its surrounding buildings, he
came out upon the highway and this
! house.
1t was a low and unpretentious one
and had but one distinguishing fea
ture. The porch which hung well ovel
the doorstep was unique in shape anC
gave an air of picturesqueness to al
otherwise simple exterior; a pic
turesqueness which was much en-
HANGED in its effort by the background
of ihimitable forest, which united thu
| foreground of this pleasing picture
with the great chain of hills which
held the works and town in its ampl
basin.
