This Little Fable Shows Are
Things of Moment

the opera. in the rosy nest of limou-
sine, passed group of laborers at
midnight. Machines, like terrible ami
mails were burrowing into the earth.
Steam was kissing, as If from the
mouths of a million serpents. Rocks
flew in every direction. Torchlights
dancou. There was the thunder OF la
Dor. The night shift was in full
swing.
And the woman, glancing from the
window al certain workman, for an
instant thought;
How | wish | had that brawny la
borer's strength and JOY of life- How
/ envy him his power. his physical
perfection. the wonder of his man
hood. his freedom from the shackles
that bind me lie is his own master.

long enough by the deep ehasm where
his engine rocked, to glance into the
motor as it sped by him. And he

ure and wealth and rest, To be free
from drudgery and toll. to come and

pointed out that the discoveries of the

separated races has not been rapid
