exneriences the comfort there is in rest

exneriences the comfort there is in rest because he is always at rest.
 Miss Forsythe was surprised to near this from one whom she considered doomed to a life of toll. She was about to inquire of him where he. a laborer. had picked up, such ideas when he finished his job. gathered up his tools and. putting them in his bag bade her adieu and went away.
 And yet for Miss Forsythe he did not go away. He was with her the rest of the day as if he were still work ing on her auto and she listening to his words "I can understand" she said to herself, Lois marrying man like that. There is healthfulness of body and mind about him that posi- lively rests me. He doesn't seem to be striving for anything. do believe that he wouldn't give up his present work in exchange for fine social DO sltion. while I-why, if I'm not invited to every swell function I'm miserable.'
 It was not long before some of tn? water pipes in the Forsythe house got out of order, and Miss Helen, being, on nccount of her fathers absence and hc:' mothers bad health, the director o" the establishment. telephoned to the factory asking for man to repaiY them and requesting 1t to send, if possi ble, the workman who had repaired her car He came with his bag of tools, and Miss FOrSythe, nS before, showed him the break She left him. but now and again returned to see how he was getting on. When noon came he had not finished, and she invited him to partake of n luncheon she ordered to be prepared for him. While he was eating 1t she asked him:
 Pillow Is 1t that you, who have never known what Is called high life and have no experience ns to the cares and disappolntmenls 1t brings, are so wei. satisfied with your humble lotT'
 He had finished eating when this question was propoundcd and, rising. stood facing Miss Forsythe, looking at her intently.
 You seem to be interested in this natter" he said, "and am going to give you q confidence have given no one else in America. l am the son of an English gentleman. My father de signed me for the army or the church. My brother is in parliament. I have watched that silent revolution which is bringing labor to the front. We see it everywhere. People of re fnement are sensible of it. Whereas q hundred years ago to make money in manufacture or trade was not con sidered respectable, now titled persons are going into both.
 My preference is for life in man ufacture. l have no confidence in at taining success ill manufacture with out ever having been d manufacturel myself. l have preferred to begin as any other laDOrer begins. If any Ot them beat me ill the race it will not trouble me. If l become d leader prefer to know the feelings, the neces sities, of the men L manage. As tC wealth bringing me happiness if I at tain it. l have no confidence that ii will. My happiness is ill my daily la bOr. believe that 1 get the same pleasure in repairing the pipes in this house that the manager of q large fac tory derives from his more extended duties"
 Miss FOrSythe was aStOniShed. She had been surprised to meet laboreI who realized that he was happier in his work than if he were globe trOt- ter, but this man, who was born with silver spoon in his mouth and had voluntarily stepped on the lowest runS t of the labor ladder to climb or remain a fixture. as the case might be, was something more than she could at once understand. Nevertheless she was deeply impressed.
 It occurred to her to invite him tU dinner to see how he would appear He accepted the invitation and with clean hands. He was invited again and again, and year after Miss For sythe had first met him she wrote Miss Gregory that she had been converted to her friends ideas as to the dignity ry labO"er.
 The bride endeavored to persuade her husband to accept capital from her father with which to start factory of his own, but he declined. He said that the happiness he derived from labor vas in labor and not in management. Nevertheless he was rapidly promoted in the factory where he worked and made manager in spite of himself.
 Each of the girls who conversed upon the subject of marriage failed to do in the matter what they said they would do. Miss FOrsythe. who said she would marry an artist. married a labOrer, Miss Gregory. who declared, that she would prefer one who. builds material structures. married literary man.
