u. And yet, what odds?
The world was an unsatisfactory
place at best, and if it was to be
hedged in by high walls, what pleas
ure would the little cells be?
A band of music was approaching,
and his gaze went to it with the
crowds.
Behind the music came a great
block of marching men, and behind
them another and another, and still

The first impression that came
clearly to his understanding was one
of the strong, stalwart units of the
blocks; the next, their contented and
even happy looks.
How happy and strong they are"

ton looked down, quick glow COM

tinged his dreams, who had since
grown distant and somewhat scorn-

she corrected swiftly, vibrant ring
in her voice that brought his eyes
again to her face. She was looking
out at the marching blocks, her gaze
steady, but with tremulousness of
the delicate lips that somehow remind
ed him of the odd note in her voice.
The next day there was rumor
of Pennington's going abroad; his
housekeeper had received a note 10
close the house, the agent to look
after the affairs until further instruc-
tions.
Down on one of the back streets,
street unknown to Penn1ngton'S Old
life, were many dingy Offices, meager
in appointments, but representing
vast accretion of labor At one of
them line of men were seeking en-
ployment, passing in front of keen
eyed foreman, who accepted or re-
jected them almost without glance.
But the reflections were few. Men
were wanted for new blocks Of build
ings going up, men of skill, of
strength, of merely carrying capacity
ANY man who could add his strength
to the labor force and hasten the
work.
So when a white-handed man of
confessed incapacity stepped in front
of the foreman's desk he was looked
at askance, but finally accepted and
set to carrying brick from the side

seemed wholly of the breaking.
But there was an under element Of
doggedness in Penningtons nature
which had never come to the surface,
and though his limbs trembled with
WEAKNESS long before the days were
half over, and at noon he sank into a
crouching heap upon the nearest board
taurant, he struggled on in some way
until the hour of dismissal came.
The second day the boss told him
gruff1y that he could not afford to
nay him more than half wages, and
the third day that he should pay him
nothing at all, for he was worth moth
ing.
This was tantamount to a discharge,
and so the boss meant it, but it was
not one in actual words. Pennington
disregarded it.
The boss looked toward him doubt
fully from time to time, but in the
end concluded to let him remain.
Such determination promised good
work. if the man survived the break
ing in. Besides, he must be in dire
need.
Pennington had a little room over
the secondhand store where he pur-
chased coarse suit of working
clothes, but he had not brought money
to pay the room rent. He possessed
a cheap silver watch, however, and
this he left as security. With his
first pay envelope he redeemed the
watch.
In his room were cot. chair and
a rusty little stove propped up with

average workingmans and his thin
face and narrow shoulders were filling
out with good, solid flesh.
At the end Of three years the fore
man started out as an Independent
contractor and the boss took his place.
Pennington would have then become
boss, but the new contractor asked
him to go with him as foreman, and
Pennington, with an odd feeling of
exultation and wonder, consented.
All this time the Pennington agent
haf heard nothing, and an expression
of speculative concern was beginning
to appear in his face.
Of course Pennington must be dead,
for he was man who required a
great deal of money, and being in Eu-
rope made the money more impera-
tive. The agent was in half mind to
communicate with the nearest rela-
tive, but hesitated and concluded to
wait little longer.
A small portion Of Esther Kilton's
property consisted of downtown tene-
ments. In the last few years she had
become infected with the reform
movement, and was remodeling them
with more regard for the inmates well
fare than her rent roll
Several blocks had already been re-
built and occupied, and recently to
hasten the work she had given a block
to a new contractor. When the old
buildings were demolished and the
new walls were up a dozen or more
feet she went down to look at the
work
Poised on the very end of a timber
almost above her was an alert, COM
pactly built man, who seemed to be
directing the work.
Something about him drew her gaze
back again and again; yet even while
her eyes kindled they filled mistily.
He was so like and yet so unlike; so

was not

AS he turned he stood facing the

been so absorbed in the work that he
had not noticed her presence.

He nodded.
She looked at him with the color
rising warmer in her face; in her eyes
was inquiry, then comprehension, JOY,
exultation.

long silence, will you come up this
evening and-and tell me about it,"
There was a smile in Penning-

grave

Peaceful Army Of Millions.

The American Federation of Labor,
the most powerful and numerous of
the labor organizations of today, num-
bered last January in active members
nineteen hundred and seventy-odd
thousand Since that time their num-
bers have increased until they are
now well beyond the two million
mark. The nearest approach to &C
curacy is to place their number at
2,O25,0OO
These include only the active mem
bers. When one considers the families
of these members, the auxiliary asso-
Citations affiliated with the parent body
in the way of relief associations, chill
dren's societies and such kindred
bodies, it is we'll within the number
to say that more than two million can
be mustered.
And that is out of the American
Federation of Labor alone. Besides
this and it's affiliated bodies, there are
other labor organizations, as well as
societies, that are not strictly labor
unions, but which take advantage of
the holiday to demonstrate themselves
to the world by formal parade, From
these one may add half million
more.
