1 When Mayor Mitchell Of New York
was discussing Colonel Goethais, who
has won worldwide renown for. his
mastery construction of the Panama
canal, for the, head of the police de-
partment, he said he wanted the big
gest man in America for the Job.
The man who Is in most demand
everywhere today is the man who can
do things, the man with q vigorous
initiative and the quality Of fine lead
ership, the man who can create seme1
thing, the man with resourcefulness,
the man Of productive power 2
There are plenty of men who can
do routine work, who can follow pre-
scribed lines, carry out in detail a
program which others make, but the
man of original force, of constructive
energy, who can get out Of the beaten
track and blaze away for others Is as
rare as he is valuable. f.fa
There is always big premium on
the man Of original ideas, progress
sive methods, the man Of productive
force, the thinker. There Is an <ad-
vertisement up at the door of every
house Of human endeayor for such "a
man. Great business concerns are

CHAPTER ii.

Sally clambered lightly over the
fence and started on the last stage or
her Journey, the climb across the
young corn rows, It was field stood
on end, and the hoed ground was un-
even; but with no seeming of weari.
ness her red dress flashed ,..eadfastly
across. the green spears, and her voice
was raised to shout: Hello, Jamson!",
The young man looked up. nd waved
a languid greeting. He did MT remove
his hat or descend from hiS place Of
rest, and Sally. who expected no such
attention, came smilingly on Samson
was her hero. Slow OF utteSance and
diffident with the stranger, nords now
came fast and fiuently as shv told her
stofy of the man who lay ht4t at the
foot Of the rock. a.
Hit haint long now tell asudown,"
she urged. Hurry, Samson, an git
yore mule. I've done give linn my
promise ter fotch ye right straight
back" .... -.,-
Samson took off his hat, a,,a tossed
the heavy lock upward from his fore
head. His brow wrinkled with doubts.
What sort OF lookin' feller air he?"
While Sally sketched de- scription,
the young mans doubt grew sraver.
"This hain't no fit time ter be takin'
in folks what we hain't acquainted
WITH" he objected. In the iaountains
any time Is the time to take in strang-
ers unless there are SECRETS to be
guarded from outside eyes. ..
"Why hain't it?" demanded the girl.
Hes hurt. We KANT leave him layin'
thar, kin we?" '.'
Suddenly her eyes caught sight Of
the rifle leaning near by. and straight
way they filled with apprehension.
Her militant love would have turned
to hate for Samson, should he have
proved recreant to the mission of re-
prisal in which he was bidng his time,
yet the coming of the day when the
truce must end haunted her thoughts.
She came close, and her voice eank
with her sinking heart
