1t must be admitted that the home
is not home that is not we'll kept,
but in the zeal of keeping house the
ideal home-making must not be lost

are prone to let the petty details en-
gross their whole time and attention,
and rather than let the housework 90
they neglect their children. The men
are not altogether blameless in this
matter. They do not stop to think
that the mother has need of time for

company; 1t could be bought for the
proverbial song. But Henley got wind
of 1t. He. too, began buying stock,
secretly and swiftly, also for song.
By the time the MacGregor company
learned of his rivalry, he needed but
a thousand shares to own control of
the company, its properties and fran
chises.
And l know just where those
shares are to be had" Henley told
Mark. DO you know one Timothy

aside by the simple expedient of ig-
noring them. When Henley, at whose
suggestion Mark had demanded the
right to purchase stock, insisted with
rising anger. Quinby donned frigid
dignity.
DO you want the company to lose

An hour before Mark might have
quailed before Henley's wrath. Now
he did not quail.

away the fist under his nose. Prob

Stuff Of Dreams.

When his spirit for it was dying,
Marks campaign of conquest came to
its grand climax-he became stock

Quinby, in all things abreast of his
great rival, was wont to speak with
such paternal enthusiasm. Up to this
time he had been merely an employe,
handsomely paid but finding his chief
reward from Henley's profitable
friendship.
When, through Henley, Mark laid the
matter OF partnership informally be-
fore Quinby, he was allowed to see

His reflections were interrupted by
a hand on his shoulder. Henley sat
down beside him.

Mark nodded.

''As the stars by the sun. Do you

"No!" snarled Henley, in a tone that

Samson" returned Henley, who felt
the better for his outburst, was
penny-wit."
Later, Henley and Mark left their
refuge and sauntered through the
crowd. 1t chanced that Quinby espied
them. He deserted an admiring group
to greet them paternally.
"A lifelong dream has been realized
thanks partly to you"-he placed
hand on Henley's shoulder -"com
mander in the field. And to you'-he
laid the other hand on Mark his
chief lieutenant"
1t was a striking tableau. Quinby
modestly unaware of the many eyes
upon them, held it a moment. then
gracefully withdrew.

sneered Henley. Drunk! Blind drunk
with self.importance!"
How much better are we?'
Sometimes Henley said coldly
