CLEAN AND EARNEST

BY WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.
Dexter Avery had invested what
little capital he had in a motion pic
ture show at Danvers and was count
ing the cost of inexperience and com
petition.
He was q clean, earnest young fef
low and deserved success. 1t seemed
assured at the start, but the second
week Of the new popular playhouse
rival came into the field. 1t was not
an honest rival, and thereby hangs
tale.
Lemuel Foster had been his rival
in love. although he was old enough
to be the father of the object of their
mutual alteration, Joyce Darrell. Fos-
ter had quite some means, but Joyce
had always preferred Dexter.
The Wonderland" as Dexter g
playhouse was called, ran a neat, in
structive entertainment Foster start
ed in with a sensational show and cut
the admission price to a nickel.
The Palace" as his place was
called, gathered in mostly the poorer
class of people. but took just enough
patronage from the Wonderland to
make both houses lose money.
"I'll drive Avery onto the rocks!"
was the open vaunt of the revengeful
Foster. When he's beggared and out
OF job, maybe the Darrells won't
think SO much of him"
Joyce had encouraged Dexter every
way In her power, but one evening
after the show Dexter sat in his little
office disconsolately calculating how
soon his fast disappearing capital
would come to an end.
He was aroused from his abstrac-
ton as rustic sounded beyond the
side door of the building. 1t was fol-
lowed by a distinct groan. Dexter
opened the door. A forlorn looking
figure sat crouched upon the doorstep.
Who are your" challenged Dexter,
peering sharply and making out a
pale. slatternly man OF about fifty. .
III move on, boss. Thought no
one would disturb me here"
He struggled to his feet with the
air OF man weary and weak. There
was no trace of liquor upon his breath
and his deep, cavernous eyes seemed
to speak of deprivation and hunger.
Hold on" spoke Dexter. as the
man started TO move away. What is
the matter?"
Nothing particular now. since
you've spoken to me in a pleasant

MAN JUST THE RIGHT SIZE
Some Of the Conclusions That Have
Been Drawn by an Eminent
French Scientist.

II man were much larger or much
smaller than he is he could not have
accomplished many of the most i'm
portant feats of civilization. For man,
by his stature, is Just the right size to
make the best use of everything
around him. In an article in La Ma.
ture. Georges Claude points out some
of the reasons for this.
II man were the size of an ant, for
example. he could have made none of
the machines with which he has con-
quered the world. The dimensions of
such machines as he could have built
would condemn them to uselessness,
as the surfaces upon which friction
must take place would be out of all
proportion TO the volume of the appar.
atus.
Such a man could not make bal
loon that would float in the air. The
delicacy of the materials he would
have to employ would prevent this, for
when certain point OF tenuousness is
passed the gas diffuses quickly
through the envelope. He could not
build ships that would cross the ocean
or float on any large body of water,
because the dimensions of such YES
sells would have to be so inferior to
the length and height of the waves as
20 make certain the immediate swamp
ing of the tiny craft
He could not even produce great
heat, because the external surface OF
his furnaces would be so large in pro
portion to their volume that most OF
the heat would be lost This would
cut him on from all the chemistry that
involves high temperatures, and there
fore from metallurgy and mechanics,
les.
But a change In the size of human
beings would not make their existence
impossible. nor would ii preclude a
high civilization. This. however. would
be very different civilization from
ours. perhaps one evolved from some
such primitive beginnings as those OF
the ants

"Who Are Your"

friendly tone" declared the rousta'
bout. ''1ts a rarity. kind word, SC
good night and thank you"
Come in" invited Dexter. his own
present troubles making him thought
full OF the discomforts OF others. You
look hungry and cold"
Both. boss, an& half sick in the
bargain. It's good of you. and hon
estly l deserve it."
Dexter Avery found that this was
true within the hour. He set fair
meal before his strange guest. He
provided him with better coat than
the ragged one he wore, and he placed
two benches together and made up
quite a comfortable bed for the way
farer.
The man was asleep when Dexter
awoke in the morning, and he did not
disturb him. Some business took him
to the postoffice When he returned
he found the playhouse swept out and
busted and everything in apple pie
order.
Il guess you have earned your
breakfast" he said, pleased at the
willing labor of his pensioner.
Call it dinner and supper, too," sug-
gested the tramp cheerily, "and I'll
help you with the afternoon and eve
ming shows. worked once in just
such a place as this, and with this
coat you've given me l might qualify
as quite respectable usher-hey,
boss?"
Somehow the man exactly fitted into
place. Somehow, too, he seemed to
bring good luck. At all events, that
afternoon crowd Of forty students
came in a group to the show. The
house was well filled also during the
evening performance. Dexter knew
the cause of this. when he learned
that his guest had spent two hours
circulating programs through the viii
lage.

name. a neerdo-well, a rolling stone,
he termed himself-got to pretty well

duty in behalf OF the man to whom
he felt % grateful for befriending him.
