Let the young people speed up the gaiety this winter. It will do them no harm and will serve to tighten the burdens of their work and studies. To a certain degree young people are like young colts. If they are lively and skittish they have promise of useful career, while if they are contantly kept in subjection and treated as hot house plants they will be just about as virile and as useful when they grow to maturity.
 And that brings out the thought that the young people are not the only ones who need more life to produce the best that is in them. We older heads need it even more than they, for we are growing older, and our joints need exercise, and our brains are crying for relaxation, and nature just naturally wants us shake off that spirit of leth- ergy and brush the cobWebs from our vision. .Ihe brightness of social jollity would put new life into us, toQ. For nature, you know, is .inoxorible in it's de- nands.

I'll see that you don't steal this, -
Mark responded ungraciously. BE
cause, when you pay for 1t, you've got
to pay for this. too" He put hand
on the injured hip. THAT is. II ever
put the idea In shape"
Henley waved a hand to intimate
that allowance must be made for an
invalid's humors. "Of course. we ex-
pect you to be business-like- Just what
do you mean by that ir?"
Il mean I'm through with the mills" |"
Who" Henley's glance swept Simon
and Richard Courtney sharply. who
has been putting fool ideas into your
head?"
You, for one, when you come here
because I'm a valuable man. not be-
cause I'm a man. Would you come to
see me II l hadn't a new invention in
mind?"
Nonsense! You're sick, that's all. ."
Henley smiled kindly but confidently.
I've seen men in your case before.
You think you won't come back. But
you will. Why? Because you're a val
liable mani stick to that. You've a
genius for mechanics, you know how
to handle men and you've got a sense
of organization. Most men would think
themselves lucky If they had any one
of those. What does 1t mean? That
you fit In here, of course. And when
man fits into any kind of life, he can
no more keep away than molten steel
can avoid the shape of the mold. And
you'll find it so-there's something
about our business that gets into the
bone and blood of a man." He looked
at his watch and rose abruptly. Glad
you're getting along. Don't forget. your
job is waiting for you"
But you don't seem to understand"
Mark cried. Pm done for. I'll have
to go on a cane, maybe a crutch. all
work at ALL"
Henley Could be very human. when
he chose. '.Ah!" he said gently. Il
had not heard that I'm sorry. 1t
makes a difference. Of course"
1t is possible that Henley was not
thinking of Marks commercial value,
as he stood looking searchingly down
at the Querulous patient.
Unexpectedly he leaned forward a
little. From his eyes q commanding
flash leaped. He put out hand and
caught one of Marks strongly.
Your brains don't need a crutch. do
they? It isn't brute strength that
makes you valuable-we can buy that
cheap. You said something about be-
ing a man. Now's your chance to be
one. What's little thing like a crutch
or a doctors prohibition? The meas
ure of man is what he overcomes.
Go home and rest. get your nerve to-
gether. And when you're ready, let
me know. I'll find a place for you"

"Oh! him!" With another shrug.

Doctor Courtney"
He turned to Mark. Simon and
Courtney pushed their chairs back
from the bedside, that the great man
might hold the stage.
When" Henley asked, do you ex-
pect to come back to us?'
Mark WINGED and returned to the
sullenness that was becoming his
habit. I'm going backbone"
The pause and the slight emphasis
on the last word were not lost on Hen
ley; a suspicion as to their import
stirred. But:
Exactly right" he exclaimed heart
lily. Stay as long as necessary to get
your strength together. You're too
valuable a man to take chances. Your
lob will wait for you. By the way,
about that new charging machine you
spoke of before the accident; sup
pose the plans aren't where we can lay
our hands on them?"
mo" answered Mark, you can't lay
your hands on them. They're in my
head"
AN excellent place to keep EN-"
Henley agreed. Suppose then. when
you're feeling up to 1t, l send one of
our engineers after you to 60 over the
plans with you? II there's anything in
the idea, we ought to install the ma

You can send him. II you want to.

weeks.
turn on his crutches, to test his re-
turning strength. and before he quite
realized 1t the village lay behind him.
He swung along for some two hundred
yards farther; then let himself care
fully down on the roadside.
He sat there for a long time. barring
his head to the summer sunshine.
This is ver5 good indeed" 1t
would have been almost dawless but
for one thing-he was rather lonely;
he felt the need for some one to share
the day with him.
He had his wish. Down the valley
road appeared a buggy drawn by a
lazy heavy-footed horse of the sort dis
tinguished as safe for women" From
within the buggy Mark caught the
gleam of a white shirtwaist and a
sailor hat. Even before the vehicle
drew near enough for recognition, he
knew the passenger for Unity
A slight tremor passed over him. To
meet the embodiment of shadow by
whom one has been jilted-or whom
one has jilted?-is at least mildly ex.
citing.
A slight tightening of the reins was
sufficient to stop that horse.
Hello, Unity!" Mark felt that this
greeting fell short of the dramatic
proprieties
"oh! How do you DOT" she an
swered colorlessly.
There was a moment of silence dur.
ing which. without seeming to do SO.
they inspected each other.
Mark had a twinge of disappoint-
ment. This was not the Unity he had
loved SO boyishly-and SO briefly. She
was as pretty as ever. in a way even
thought of her as spirituelle. Her face
was fuller. its color deeper. and there
was healthy roundness in the line
of shoulder and breast, of the ankle
that protruded from under the dust
robe. Not that she was fat! But her
daintiness was gone. In the item of
dress she would have suffered from
comparison with the young ladies of
his boarding house. Her hair was done
carelessly. And vivacity had gone the
way of daintiness. She had the air
Of having settled into the habit of
Bethel, OF having accepted its narrow
outlook A faint vertical line between
her eyes limited that she might not
have accepted It with complacency.
Therefore he said: You look the
same as ever. Unity"
She frightened a little. You think
so?" There was something almost
pitiful to him In the way she caught
at the remark She became spiritless
again. But. OF course. that Isn't
true"
But, of course, It is"
She laughed unpleasantly. You
wouldn't think so. II you saw the way
they treat me here now"
The men? Surely noti"

CHAPTER XII.
A Man and His Wife.

In the downtown Offices of the
Quinby company and in the particular
room which may be called the head
quarters of the Quinby army, two men
were sitting late one winter afternoon.
The one was Henley himself. now
chairman OF the company. bit stouter
than when we first met him twelve
years ago. his arrogance a little less
evident in manner albeit time had not
altered the fact The other was q
youngish man whose thin bony face
and hands and streaks OF premature
gray hair spoke of physical frailty.
1t was common knowledge in tho
Quinby company that no one was
more welcome in Henley's office than
the young superintendent whom the
masters influence had put in COM
mand of the big new open-hearth
plant. 1t was even suspected that
Henley had taken Truitt in with him
in his speculations.
At the end of long discussion OF
