vast industrial concerns wherein much is done by ma

have the most efficient human labor to keep up the level
of results The difference that this makes the man con-

which he do his best whether he is the square

Mr.. Gray was willing. In fact, he
regarded Peggy's plan as worthy of

what had come over Peggy. Certainly
his little girl was responding to his
efforts to rouse in her a sense of the
earnestness of life.

So Fairy Moss went to sleep. And
promptly at four, when the sun began
