ter of pull; that elections were bought
and paid for by "the interests; that
money was king and graft was queen;
and that life was game like nothing
more divine than poker. But more than
anything else, perhaps, he believed this:
"A young man hasn't any chance any
more. The trusts are running every
thing"
Such was Henry J. Miller-an average
young man whom you know very well,
with very proper creases in his trousers,
and cuffs and collars always above re-
proach.
Then, without warning, at time of
deep business depression, the Denny
Laundry Machine Company went into
the hands of receiver, and Henry ].
Miller was suddenly seized by the scruff
of his neck and thrown out into the world,
to sink or swim, survive or perish, in those
cold, swirling, hostile waters that are
sometimes known as Life.
AFTER he had paid his board that week,
Henry had nine dollars left. He
promptly left his clearinghouse, went

Sides, Henry knew nothing except the

In short, it didn't take him long to get
a prophetic vision Of the future. -,

Those were the nights when he didn't
sleep, but thanked God he hadn't married
Margaret and had no family; and those
were the days when he went around with
a twenty-pound weight in the pit of the
stomach, in lieu of nourishing food.
!, On Wednesday afternoon he called on
his fianc6e and briefly told her what had
happened.
"Of course our engagements all off,"
he added dolefully.
i; "Of course it isn't all off" cried Mar
garet; and she looked SO bright and cheer
full that a stranger might have thought she
had Just received good news instead of
bad.
To tell the truth, Margaret knew her

aren't they?"
II guess they are" nodded Henry, star
ing refectively at the procession. aSay,
look at that fellow in the rabbit-skin cap
the one with the big valise marked
'Disinfected.' I'll bet he gets along"
Underneath the rabbit-skn cap was q
keen, intelligent face, with pair of eyes
that fairly glowed with fervor and enthu-
siasm.
I'll bet he gets along, too, said Mar
garrett "And now, Henry Miller, you
listen to me. I'm going to ask you some
thing. If that man in the rabbit-skin cap
can come over here and get along and
make money-why-ca 't--you? He
doesn't know anything you don't know.
He doesn't know half as much! But he's
got faith in the United States, and faith
in himself, and-Henry dear! can't you
have little faith, too?" .,
Almost taken of, his feet by the sud-
denness of this attack, Henry stared deep
into Margaret's eyes, and gradually felt
his heart warmed by the faith and fire he
saw there.
@By lingo, Margaret he muttered at
last. aYou said something then, you did!
Let's walk up and down again, while /

They walked to the Aquarium, and
there he looked at his watch with the air
of a man whose minutes have suddenly
grown precious. ......

Leaving Margaret at the subway sta
ton, he started walking up Broadway, his
eyes quick to see, his mind eager to grasp.
At Park Row he stopped and bought
copy of q last Sundays paper. There
were eight columns Of Business Oppor-
tunities," but it didn't take Henry eight
minutes to discover that none Of them
fitted his case.
@These are all right il man has

I'm concerned, moneys the scarcest thing

gone out with him to see the crowds, a

Henry's fist had shot out and caught that
fierce young tough terrible slam imme-

been for that flash of fight, Margaret
would probably never have consented to
wear the diamond ring; for she had faith
and fire a-plenty, and couldn't understand
life without enthusiasts.

Heb? Well, guess not! And, now you re

And, strange perhaps to say, Margaret
was telling the literal truth.
@You wait minute she said, 3while

wished you had chance to see it too. :"
She took him down in the subway,
chatting away as lively as a cricket till
they reached South Ferry. Gradually the
weight disappeared from the pit Of Hem

a two-legged man and less like a homeless
worm. ,,

she were the weaker of the two.

THE Ellis Island ferry had just come in
with load of immigrants eager to set
foot on the promised land.
They'll be coming out in a minute"
said Margaret. @There! Now look at
them! You see? Most of them can't
speak English, and there must be many
who can't either read or write. But they
had faith enough in the United States to
sell everything they had and leave their
friends and come over here. And now,

So he stayed behind; and in due course

Company, which had its general offices in
the financial district downtown. He knew
this business from A to q; but he didn't
