figure fumbling about in his corner.
There was a pause-Piotr's search
seemed to have been successful-the
a metallic click. Mark whirled sharply
on him.

CHAPTER Xxx.
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.
quite sure. You all spoil me with
kindness"
Mrs. Hedges gave last pat to the
cushion behind Kazia's head. "You
take deal of spelling, think, dearie. ."
Kazia sighed. I'll hate to leave
you.'' Tears, for some reason, were
treacherously ready that morning.
Then" drawled the doctor, you're
thinking of leaving us?"
Il must-soon." But under the doc
tors twinkling gaze a girlish flush
sprang into yiew-perhaps to keep the
tears company.

"At once, Doctor" came a stern
command from the hall
Eth? OH" A light broke in upon
him and he chuckled again. Coming,
my dear, coming!"
The Matka, too, would have left her,
but Kazia stayed her Don't CO., she
said in the Matka's tongue.
The old woman halted irresolute.
"He, your lover, will be coming soon"
Timidly she laid a thin knotted hand
on the scarf enshrouding Kazia's hair.
Kazia ignored that. You will hate
to leave this place, won't your

little she smiled through her tears.
1t 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 Of the hills was
ended forever Throughout that day,
as the iron they had seen flowing ad-
vanced toward it's destiny, the new
creature that had come into the valley
had been awakening to full life. Sec
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 its pulsa-
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
discern-singing madly of power and
passion and purpose, of struggle and
death, of birth ana 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 1t from here?"
He helped her to chair by the
south window and stood at her side
while she saw.
The night sketched the drama of
steel for her. Again the great fur
mace was setting free it's lambent
flood. Under open sheds were CLEAN
ing the sun-bright mouths of other
furnaces where the iron boiled and
boiled and became steel

For all who suffer and toll"
His face was set sternly toward the
mills. For long time he was silent.
What is it," And she broke the
silence with a whisper What do you
see out there?"
Sternness melted into tenderness.
"a parable" he smiled down on her.

shots had rung out. At the last Marks
head dropped forward, his body swayed
slowly and fell in a 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
so 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 voice that seemed
very far away muttering fretfully.

/ didn't mean to shoot then. l didn't

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. A
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 1t?
'Kazia." The name gave him a
thrilling shock that sharpened the pain
but cleared his mind little.
