mechanism was in motion, driving,
whirling, pounding at top speed. The
earth quivered in answer to it's pulsa-

fires such as served at the creation,
lifted their voices in chorus-an ode
of the elements to man the master, the
song of steel. A terrible song whose
beauty only the understanding might
discern-singing madly of power and
passion and purpose, of struggle and
death, of birth and life, of triumph
and steadfast strength.

Sternness melted into tenderness.
"A parable" he smiled down on her,

CHAPTER xxx.
The Ultimate Purpose


1t was an Indian summer day, when
the sun paused to smile genially back
over his shoulder at the earth he was
leaving to winters cold mercy, and a
warm wind blew softly. Toward noon
Kazia, leaning on the doctor and his
buxom wife, was helped to the front
porch, where the Afatka was waiting
with cushions and shawls. In a big
rocking chair the convalescent was
made comfortable, with cushions at
head and feet and the shawls tucked
carefully around her.
You're sure you're warm enough ?"
queried Mrs. Hedges, with needless
anxiety.
Quite sure. You all spoil me with
kindness
Mrs. Hedges gave a last pat to the
cushion behind Kazia's head. "You
take deal of spelling, think, dearie. "
Kazia sighed. 'I'll hate to leave
YOU" Tears, for some reason, were
treacherously ready that morning.
"Then." drawled the doctor, you're
thinking of leaving us?"

you won't let me know"
II promise. Kazia-!"
"Ah! Take me-"
A sob shook her and she swayed
toward him. He caught her and drew
her very gently to him. After a
little she smiled through her tears.
It was evening and the others had
gone, leaving them alone again.
There was no light but the glow OF
embers on the hearth in the little cot
tage that was to be their home for q
while But it was enough for them, In
whose hearts the unquenchable torch
was glowing, revealing beauties and
glories they never had known. They
sat very close, watching-and listen
ing.
For the silence of the hills was
ended forever. Throughout that day,
as the iron they had seen flowing ad-
vanced toward its destiny, the new
creature that had come into the valley
had been awakening to full life. Sec

can keep track of the time!"
Then he gently led the Matka back
into the house. For she, who had for
gotten how to weep for sorrow. was
weeping now for the Joy awaiting
Kazia.
First Mark drove, very slowly and
carefully, through the old village and
across the bridge until he came to its
middle point. There he stopped.

and silent. A row of giant stacks

their sinews as they waited to pounce
upon and torture the coming steel.

pointed.
