CHAPTER III.
The Ma Sters.

He found himself a lonely foreign
figure knowing not whittier he would
go. somehow in the city's heart.
Chance led him to the principal thor
oughfare. The city had begun to quit
it's toll, and the released toilers were
pouring into the street, an endless I'M
ordered horde, needless of him as they
were of one another. Never before had
he seen so many people.
He had a confused sense of being
sucked into a narrow, gloomy canyon
through which poured a flood of hui
manity, a treacherous, dangerous tor
rent, with many cross-currents. Count

Full darkness fell. He paused under
a fiery sign, The Seneca Through a

many columns that to the inexpert
eye somewhat resembled marble Uni

There was sound as of two hands

The speakers had turned the corner
of the veranda and come upon the
eavesdropper. Thus for the first time
Mark Truitt looked upon the two men
in whose legions he was to conquer.
Who has not in fancy's gallery a
portrait of jeremiah Quinby, taken
from the prints of the day when his
star swept SO brilliant through the
sky? The lofty brow seems to shelter
very ferment of noble projects. The

Photography has been less kind to
Thomas Henley. No philanthropy has
claimed him as it's apostle. And then
he was a less promising subject for
the art. His body was squat and
heavy; his face was bony and ugly and
arrogant, often still further marred by
a cold. cynical sneer. A lesser man,
thus presented, would have been repul-
sive- Yet from Henley radiated ire
mendous vitality that made him mag
netic or compelling as he chose-the
dynamic quality that could galvanize a
man OF regiment to the mad effort
he demanded. After the first glance
Mark looked no more upon Quinby;
he understood why the philanthropist
had SO meekIy swallowed the inso-
lence.
This he thought, "is a man"
Henley charged upon him, gripping
his arm.
What the devil" he repeated. ARE
you doing here?"
Looking into the window"
What are you doing that for7"
Because" Mark answered simply

Probably the phiianthropist-to-be
suggested nervously, backing away,
"he is some sneak thief. Perhaps
you'd better hold him while 1 get
help"
"Oh, don't be frightened" Henley
replied protectively. Il won't let him
bite you"
The sardonic note was again upper

by half a head-grinned Involuntary,

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 a shovel;
that there is a 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

on a days acquaintance they confided
to him their troubles-squalid TRACE
