So it was that he came to the con-
sideration of the one thing which had
attempted to deny itself to him. Gail!
A fame ragged through his veins
which fairly shook him with its vio-
lence. 1t was not only the reflex of
his determination to have her, but it
was the terrific need of her which had
grown up in him. Have her? OF
course he would have her! II she
would not come to him willingly, he
would take her! She was not to be

considered any other adverse factor in

sired. He was possessed of rage

II you will take pavement that Is
clear, and walk briskly in the center,
you will find that before you have
gone SO yards you have unconsciously
veered very much to one side. TO
make this test accurate you must not
use any effort TO keep in the center
If you think of something else and
endeavor to walk naturally. you will
find that you are not able to keep
going in a straight line. In the same
way a person lost in wide expanse
of level country will describe com
plete circle as he keeps walking on
and on. The explanation Of this lies
in the propensity Of one foot to walk
faster than the other, or to take a
longer stride than the other. causing
you to veer 70 one side or the other.

but who had been more
brilliant in construction than they had
been in reaping the rewards Of their
building. It was for Allison to do this
II had been his speciality: the reaping
OF rewards. 1t had been his faculty to
permit others TO build, TO encourage
them IL it, and then, when the build
ing was done. to wrest il away from
the builders. That marked him as the
greatest commercial genius of his
time; and he had much applause for it.
Women. Yes. there had been wom-

of aI those other things which men
had wanted and held most dear, among
them acquisition. and power, and sue
cess. Perhaps it had been bad for him,
this concentration, for now it left him
at the height of his maturity, with mis-
taken fancies. with long pent fires,
with disproportionate desires. Bring
ing to these, he had the tremendously
abnormal moral effect of never hav-
ing been thwarted in a thing upon
which he had set his mind, and Of be-
lieving, by past accomplishment, that
anything upon which he had set his

He was without God, this man; he
had nothing within him which con-
ceded, for a moment, greater power

agery, which was rich enough in ma

of a deity. or of a need for one. To
what should he pray, and for what,
when he had himself to rely upon ?
Worship was an idealistic diversion, a
poetic illusion. the refuge of the weak.
who excused their lack of strength by
ascribing it to a mysterious something
beyond the control of any man. He
tolerated the popular notion that there
must be a God, as he tolerated codes

man might or might not do. externally,

Beauty and Brains.

A pretty girl need not necessarily be
brainless, but somehow the combina-
ton persists.
Did you young fellows ever stop to
analyze any of your conversations
with that wide-eyed little blonde who
always wears pink silk blouses2 No.
Of course you didn't-you hardly knew
what you were saying yourself.
Trouble with you is that you haven't
imagination enough to conceive of a
pretty girl who could bring up more
interesting talk topic than her own
sweet self.
You sort of concede that a peach OF
a girl is three-quarters mush. with a
heart of stone.

the pretty girl with brains. but she's

some cuss that doesn't appreciate her.

Be Generous in Praise

There are occasions when speech is
golden, rather than silence. and when
an encouraging word would be of more
value than the richest material gift.
Some persons are far too much afraid
of the effect of little generous and
well-umed praise. They would keep
all their flowers in an icehouse. Let.
ting a little sunshine upon them at
times would not be amiss.-Dr. A.
