exquisitely clear; nothing dulled, nothing
obscured. Her hair was really black. 1t
was only by contrast with it that one saw
the brown in her oval eyes. Her nose
was delicately arched, her lips full. She
was nearly as tall as Stein, and as she
stood gracefully by the desk her pale
shirt-waist and plain brown skirt seemed
uniting. She should have famed in
oriental color, with flowing lines. AS she
looked down at Stein her face was i'm
passive, yet with subtle lowering, half
sad, half fond, that shimmered in her
deep eyes and touched her curved lips.
He sighed and picked up one of the
papers-a sheaf of long typewriter
sheets fastened together at the top with
brass clamps and bound with heavier
sheet which was bright pink in color and
showed the marks of considerable ham
ding. An inscription, typewritten in
black ink, appeared on the back OF this
pink binding sheet.

much time out of doors to correct con-
stitutional delicateness. 1t was thin and
smooth-shaven. He was well dressed
thanks wholly to a competent tailor and
to a competent servant who saw that he
did not start downtown in smoking
jacket and without neck-tie.
He looked like dreamer. Even now
it was obvious that he dreamed--as he
sat bumped over at his desk with the tip
of slim forefnger against his lips, which
were pursed as if he might be going to
whistle, his round blue eyes staring at
some papers that lay on the desk. 1t
was the moment for an important de-
cision; yet one could see that he dreamed.

Stein turned the pages rapidly, until he
came to the signature on the last page
At that he stared long moment; then
slowly shook his head, sighed again, and
tossed the document back on the desk.

repeated absently. Abruptly he looked
up at her. II owe him terrible debt-a

She noticed that, although his round
eyes were fixed upon her face, he was
hardly aware Of her; that, although he
used her name, he was talking to himself
rather than to her. 1t was that way be-
tween them. Often he spoke out what
ever his mind was busy upon, as if she
were only sort Of intimate atmosphere
in which he could think aloud.

life, too. had put Dot and Tommy into
the carriage. This was at Emma's, five
years ago--up at the beach" .
SHE knew, Of course, that Emma was
his older sister; Dot and Tommy were
her children. Five years before they
must have been mere babies. Stein had
a singular affection for his two sisters
children-an affection oddly worshipful.
Il shouldn't have put them IN the car
riage at all, he went on, in his dream.
@The coachman wasn't there, and the
horses were restless. 1t seemed to be

though. The children begged to get in,
so lifted them in. Then climbed in

He put his finger to his lips, and his eyes
wandered from her face to the wall.
"A dog rushed out, chasing cat. It
seems the horses were afraid Of dogs.
They were restless brutes, anyway-not
fit for women and children to ride after.
Emma liked them, though-drove them
herself"
He looked hack at Ruth then, really
addressing her:
"From my earliest recollection have
had an unreasoning terror OF horses. /
have tried to master it-made myself ride
and drive when it was all i could do TO
keep my teeth from chattering. never

- San Francisco, bore this new sign:
Berg & Meyer Successors to Solomon
Berg, Dealers in Metal"
1t was, in fact, a junk-shop. The
junior member had just been admitted to
partnership and share in whatever
modest profits might accrue.
If you should, in this year of grace,
enter a certain monumental doorway
on lower Broadway, and ascend eighteen
stories, you would find yourself in a broad
marble corridor that runs around the four
sides of the huge building. Many glass
paneled doors on either hand give on Of
fees. All the doors to right and left on
two sides of the quadrangle bear the sign,
az. Meyer & Sons" No business is desig-
mated, nor is any designation needed.
Every one knows.
Wherever, in all North America, men
are digging in the earth for copper, gold,
or silver, or dealing in those commodities,
the name on the door is familiar and bears
a certain significance, like that conveyed
by the sterling stamp on silverware.
Except for the two months in winter
that are spent on the ranch in southern
California, and two months in summer
that are spent at the seaside place in
Maine, and q couple of months abroad
every other year, Emanuel Meyer, for
merly junior partner in the junk-shop,
still comes down to these Offices for few
hours every business day-a tall and
burly figure, with shock of snow-white
beard, mop of snow-white hair, nose
of power and dark eyes half yelled by
heavy eyelids. Newspapers amuse them
selves by guessing at his wealth.
THAT long, double-ranked procession Of
doors bearing his name ends at the
northwest corner of the building. The
glass panels of the next two doors on the
outer side of the corridor are blank. Be-
hind them is an ante-room in which a
stenographer sits; then small Office Oc-
cupied by a sort Of private secretary or
confidential clerk, whose name is Ruth
Berg, q granddaughter of that Solomon
who gave Emanuel Meyer his first foothold
in business. Not that Emanuel was ever
unappreciative. He would have had, at
this time, peck measure full of promises
to pay, signed by Solomon Senior and
Solomon Junior, if he hadn't burned them
all long ago. The Bergs lacked the busi-
ness sense.
These offices with blank doors are 6c-
cupied by Emanuel's granddaughter, Mat
thew Stein. He also lacks the business
sense. His absence Of mind is astonish-
ing. At any moment he is rather more
apt to be thinking of new book on phi
losophy, or Of music or painting, than of
mine engineering. Yet, when he does
think engineering, it is to good purpose.
For those who know, his name has the
sterling mark.
Ruth, at this time, had beenin his Office
three years-taken at first as n kind of
genteel charity when she finished college.
He had grown so used to her that trying
to imagine the Office without her would
have startled him, if such an exercise of
imagination had ever occurred to him.
He was thirty-two now, Of medium
height and slender. He gave the inn
preston of being rather frail without
being sickly, and his face was not of the
most familiar types Of his race. His eyes
were blue and round, his hair dark brown
and of silken fineness getting a little
thin just over his high forehead. His face

under Cannon, for the seat In the

test with Harry 6. New at the con.
