stared at him with fixedness that
surprised Tom considerably and made
him not little curious. SO he re-

His own regard sharpened. And
then his Jaw dropped, and his pipe
clattered upon the grating at his

He recognized one Of the men-the

had seen once or twice emerge from

glance at each of the others In turn; ;

The Man of Iron.

dore Van Vechten the Man of Iron"

phrase was descriptive of the man,
both figuratively and literally.
His Offices we're In New Street, just

Stock Exchange; a location unrivaled
for his purposes. which were both
tremendous and infinitely various. He
has also been likened to fat spider
lurking In the midst OF his web, the
flaments OF which radiate In all d..
rections throughout the contiguous
territory. and every one Of them
guiding steady stream Of gold into
the Van Vechten Golfers.
Theodore Van vechten typifed
Power.
There was, first of all, the prestige
OF the enormous Van Vechten for

bonds within rife shot Of his office;
which is to say, the entire country,

Company, he was shining target for

marketed. from pin or a wire
clothesline to locomotive. motor-car
or battleship, that did not contribute
along one or another of the webs fla
ments to the aforementioned Var
vechten fortune. Hence. literally. he
was the Man Of Iron"
He was a big man physically a

should have been. His activity de
manded prodigious physical strength
and vitality. and these two factors In
his makeup, together with an Index

which made obstacles OF no more i'm

Az for his personal appearance. iti
general effect was one Of iron gray
ness: the smooth-Shaven lips were q
straight, thin, incorporating linz
that scarcely moved even when hi
spoke; the bare chin was square, mas
sive, iron-like. and the closely
trimmed gray "sideboards" were well
nigh eclipsed by these more salient
features. His eyes, under thatch Of
gray brows, were simply metallic
glitter beyond whose surface no mar
had ever seen. His moments of weak
ness, IL he had any. would have beer
another mans strength.
There was only one person who hat
ever been wholly at ease in this mans
presence-his nephew, Rudolph Var
vechten. or the hundreds who came
into and went out Of the New Street
offices, this young man alone seemed
wholly oblivious of the fact. or indif
ferent to It, that Theodore Van vech
ten had but to utter the word. and
he would be extinguished.
Rudolph paid his uncle visit OF

cumstance was pointed out to him.

But his choice at this time was
what he was 10 be- and so with all
young men, and so he stared right and
decided in his heart. That is the
proper place to make ali decisions, ana
this is always the keynote Of all char
acters, and decision of character is the
ground soul of faith, God acts through
the will as a ships life is guided by
its rudder in the hand of the pilot.
His decision was more than physi-
cal, but was religious. The meat had
been offered To idols and according "a
his religious principle he could not de-
file himself His heart principle that
came through his religious life held
him up ana God gave HIM favor with
all those i'm authority Those whom
honor me, will honor says God, and
being and doing right regardless OF the
consequences was the secret of his
wonderful success. He over came tho
trials and temptations OF his youth
and laid the foundations of vigorous
manhood.
Acting from right principles always
make us courageous and leads to a

wisdom skill in learning and upon his
graduation day he was counted ten
times better in wisdom than any man
i'm the whole realm. And he was
blessed with a long life, living until
