No great purpose has ever been

spirit has first gone out into some
wilderness solitude and there discov-

experience of all the greatest among
men. They go apart from their fell

there, in solitary communion with
God, from that highest of all compan-

CHAPTER III.
The Turn Of the Page.


John Valiant stirred and laughed, a
little self-consciously. for there had
been drops on his face.
Presently he took a check-book from
his pocket and began to figure on the
stub, looking up with a wry smile. To
come down to brass tacks," he NUT

He withdrew his caressing hand and
looked again at the check-stub. TWEEN

remember a time when he had not had
all that he wanted. He had never Dor
rowed from a friend or been dunned
by an i~mportunate tradesman. And
he had never tried to earn a dollar IN
his life; as to current methods of max
ing a living. he was as ignorant as a
Pueblo Indian.
He rose grimly and dragged his
chair facing the window. The night
was balmy and he looked down across
the darker sea Of reefs, barred like a
gigantic checker-board by the shining
lines of streets, to where the flashing
electric signs OF the theater district
laid their wide swath OF colored ra-
dance. The manifold calls of the
street and the buzz of trolleys made a
dull tonal background, subdued and
far-away.

CHAPTER l..


"Failed!" calculated John Valiant
blankly, and the hat he held dropped
to the c~laret-colored rug like a huge
Corporation-failedl"
The young man was the glass of
ashton, from the silken ribbon on the
spotless Panama to his pearl-gray gait
ers, and well favored-a 1.-THE stalwart
figure. with wide-set hazel eyes and
strong brown hair waving back from
candid forehead.
Never had his innocuous and but
ter.fy existence known a surprise
more startling. He had swung into
the room with all the nonchalant hab-
its. the ingrained gertrude of the man
born with achievement ready-made in
bis hands. And a single curt state
ment-like the ruthless blades of a
pair of shears-had shipped across
the one splendid scarlet thread in the
wool that constituted life as he knew
that morning a vice-president of the
Valiant Corporation-one of the great
est and most successful of modern
day organizations; he sat now in the
fading afternoon trying to realize that
the huge fabric, without warning. had
tOppled to its fall.
How solid and changeless it had
always seemed-that great business
fabric woven by the father he could
SO dimly remember! His own invested
fortune had been derived from the
great corporation the elder Valiant
had founded and controlled until his
death. With almost unprecedented
earnings, 1t had stood as a very Glib
raltar of finance, a type and sign Of
brilliant organization. Now, on the
heels of a trusts dissolution which
would be a nine-days' wonder, the vast
structure had crumbled up like a card
board. The rains had descended and
the floods had come, and it had fallen!
The man at the desk had wheeled
in his revolving chair and was looking
at the trim athletic back plotting the
daylight, with o smile that was little
short of a covert sneer. He was one
