Johann was too slow in his mental

The Swede blinked stupidity for a
moment, then slowly obeyed.

sneered.

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 Inn
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 a sudden inner expansion. Not
Henley, but the submissiveness Of his
malcontent friends" was the cause
of that expansion.
Mark learned that there are a right
method and a wrong of doing even
the simple task Of plying shovel;
that there Is 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 wise-of popularity. Men
liked him; they laughed at his jokes;
on a days acquaintance they confided
to him their troubles-sQualid TRACE
dies they were, alas! only too often.
Marcel always called him "m'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.
