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 Matka 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.

kindness"
Mrs. Hedges gave last pat to the
cushion behind Kazia's head. You

Kezia sighed. ''I'll hate to leave
you" Tears, for some reason, were
treacherously ready that morning.
Then" drawled the doctor, you're

sprang into view-perhaps to keep the
tears company.

said In the Matka's tongue.
The old woman halted, irresolute

Mark looked quickly back over his
shoulder, caught by an odd change In
the plaintive voice. Dusk was gather
ing rapidly, deepening the shadows In
the shed, and he could barely see the
figure fumbling about in his corner.
There was a pause-Piotr's search
seemed to have been uccessful-then
a metallic click. Mark whirled sharply
on him.

A fox that was caught in farmers

Il merely stopped here to talk about

" Hedges thought 1t was delirium and

But Mark resisted.

Hedges released him and Mark went
over to her. He dropped to his knees
by the bedside and kissed, very gently,
the arm outlined under the sheet.
"Kazia." he whispered. my wife,

He thought that she sighed, as does

lips.

shots had rung out. At the last Marks
head dropped forward, bis body swayed
slowly and fell in crumpled heap
across the doorway. -.
When he awoke he was being
dragged by his wounded shoulder IN
such fashion that his head scraped
along the floor. He did not realize
30 much, merely that his pain had
increased hundredfold. He tried to
cry out, but could only lie limp and
silent. Then he felt a hand passing
over his face and a voice that seemed
very far away muttering fretfully.
Il wonder II you're dying or sham
ming. It would be like you to sham.
/ didn't mean TO shoot then. / didn't
want you to die until you knew the
mills were gone. But had to-when
you looked at me that way, had to-"
Mark heard, but the words meant
nothing to him. The voice muttered
on; detached sentences came to him.

Mark felt the hand again, now at
his throat, pressing hard. He tried to
protest: That is quite superfiuous,"
but the pressure would not let him.
When blackness was closing in on him
once more. the grip relaxed.
But he did not quite lose conscious
ness this time. He heard the other
move about. still muttering, then pass
out The sound of wheels and the
horses tramping through the tall
weeds died away In the distance.
At first Mark lay inert. A mortal
weakness held him. He could realize
only the pain. He wanted nothing but
to lie prone and motionless.
disturbing thought began to tug at his
brain. He ought not to be there
There was a thing he must do, some
one he must see. What was It?

II promise. Kazia-i"
All! Take me-"
A sob shook her and she swayed
toward him. He caught her and drew
her very gently to him. =. After
little she smiled through her tears.
II 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 a
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 ef the hills was
ended forever. Throughout that day,
as the iron they had seen flowing adj
vanced toward It's destiny, the new
creature that had come into the valley
had been awakening TO full life. SEQ
ton after section had received the life
giving power, until now all the huge
mechanism was In motion, driving,
whirling, pounding at top speed. The
earth quivered in answer to It's pulsar
ton. Crunching metal, raging blasts,
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
diecern-singing madly of power and
passion and purpose, of struggle and
death, OF birth and life, Of triumph
and steadfast strength.
To the lovers, rich in the knowledge
that comes only after sin and payment
and release, the song came not in vain.
Ought you to be there?" she whis-
pered.
Not tonight, dear"
Gould we see II from hereH"
He helped her to a chair by the
south window and stood at her side
while she saw.
The night sketched the drama Of
mace was setting free It's lambert
food. Under open sheds we're gleam-
ing the sun-bright mouths of other
furnaces where the iron boiled and
boiled and became steel.
"Ah!" Wonderment and alteration

His face was set sternly toward the
mills. For a long time he was silent.
What Is itf" And she broke the
silence with a whisper. What do you
see out there?"
Sternnese melted into tenderness.
"A parable" he smiled down on her,
"of our lives-of life. Desire and dis
illusionment, battle and toll, conquest
and failure, evil and shame-the fires
and pressures that burn US and shape
US" His hand rested on her hair.
And the purpose In which the real
life begins"
"Ah! wouldn't have you different.

UNWISE SEGREGATION.

A bad blunder was made by the schoo
the Italian children in order, as they say
to permit the Italian children to learn
the English language faster. That very
segregation will defeat the end desired
because the Italian school children would
learn English faster from their English.
speaking schoolmates than they would
from the school teacher in their special
school. Moreover, the process of assim-
ilation of the Italian population would
be retarded UNNECESSARILY by this segre-
cation. Experience in other communi-
ties, where there is a considerable popu-
Iation, is that children of that national
ity are not only quick to learn English
but when once mastery of the English
language is acquired they are as keen in
school progress as the children of other
nationalities. Furthermore, the process
of amalgamation among the races is ad-
vanced rapidly when the races mingle in
the school room. Thus, the school au-
thorities at Beloit have taken backward
step in the face of a situation that is
being met by school authorities in other
places in a perfectly natural manner.
Furthermore, they have, unwittingly per-
haps, tended to retard the national move
ment for the assimilation of all races
that come into the United States.
