wages and enormous bonuses to the young
men who helped him. If he heard of a
big contract in Russia or Chile or any
where else, he went for it himself Slowly
he extended the small concerns opera
tions until it became big corporation.
He did not borrow much money, because
there were no dividends to pay and the
company could use its earnings to expand.
Gradually other steel and shipbuilding
plants were bought in, without excite
ment or stock-market exploitation.
Few people in Wall Street noticed what
Schwab was doing. He said nothing
merely worked like slave year after year.
He let the stock market alone. He did

a gorgeous, expensive, fashy mansion on
Riverside Drive, New York City. That
mansion was closed and has been kept
closed. 1t was announced that he would
move to South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania,
where the works are. And he did, about
ten years ago. From mansion in the
greatest city, to a little out-of-the-way
Pennsylvania town!
For something more than ten years
Schwab had done nothing but work. Not
long ago he talked to the Easton Board of
Trade. He told them that practically all
the money he had was in the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, and that he had never
taken out a penny in personal fees, ex-
penses, or dividends.
He owned most of the stock, but he re-

long as he could build new furnaces and
land new contracts. Two or three years
ago people began to notice that Schwab
was earning almost as much with his
"little" company as he had with the Car
negie Steel Company years before. But,
even then, cynical Wall Street would not
believe what it saw. 1t just refused to look
at the figures, because Schwab had had his
day. Men never come back-of course not.
When the war started, Schwab went
straight to Lord Kitchener. He spent
week or more with the War Secretary, and
came back to America with the biggest
war order the world had ever known.
Now every steel-mill owner and promoter
wants to sell out to Schwab.
There is such thing as coming back.

Right there and then Wall Street buried
Charles M. Schwab. He had taken the
big slide down and out. Next!
Schwab is quick to see, quick to decide.
He thinks and acts like chain lightning.
Nothing daunts him. One who knows
him says that if Schwab were asked to re-
organize Russia or merge the South Ameri-
can republics, he would cheerily respond:
ayes, that's a good idea; I'll attend to
it next week."
This man simply refused to stay down.
Nothing much was heard of him for
year or SO after he resigned from the
Steel Trust. He was recuperating, getting
back his health. He had previously built

Il circle for framing that grim coun-
tenance of his. He had not slept at
all; now dawn was whitening outside the
windows.
Nearly year before, Lund had swept
Alyson Innes from her Eastern setting,
bringing her to this wild, mountain-rimmed
nest where his mine was, on the rock
bound Pacific coast below Carmel, below
Monterey, caring no whit what ties or
obligations he took her away from. Among
the symbols of these obligations, the name
Of Stanley Wace led all the rest-old
Burian WAGES son, a boy with whom
Alyson had gone to the same kinder
garten in Philadelphia, and played at
sweethearts.
Nothing counted-even the obstacles
met in Alyson herself. Being cave man,
Kortney Lund was inevitably fascinated
by the most modern type of girl-which
is also the most ancient: dark, mysteri-
Gus, elusive. And he had let her talk
Strindberg, Sudermann, Tolstoy, Meredith,
and vapor to him about twelve-month
time marriage. He would have offered no
resistance to any heresy, however mon
strous, that did not keep her from his
arms. Once there, he would hold fast his
own. He never answered her-instead he
married her.
The bungalow was built in wonderful
spot, little fold in the hills fronting the
blue water and the bluer sky, with brush
covered, almost impossible barrier. A
single road led to their isolation, dallying
down the coast lightly skirting miles of
cliff below which the surf was loud on
sharp-toothed black rocks.
With water and power from the stream
at the mine he had given their home
the equipment of city fiat, and had
put old Tang Foo in the kitchen to make
stolid use of the miracles in his marvellous
cooking
They were shut away together there
through the enchanted growing weeks of
spring; the months of blazing sun, tranced
sky and sea, dim days of fog; the long
dry season, with it's pungent odors, tin
Cling heat, and dusty trails; and through
the winter storms that beloved on the
coast.
HAD this year shown Alyson that love
= like theirs was not for day or a twelve
month, but for all time? He did not bring
up the question-that had never been his
way. He would act. 1t was his course of
action that had brought him to sleepless
night. For the Goth was at his gates; the
Vandal hammered on his temple door.
The year was up-the "other man" had
arrived as house guest!
Conscious Of late of definite nervous
tremor beneath Alyson's calm, seeing
her easily weared, her speech with an
edge, her silence holding an alien quality,
noting that she had taken up the ominous
practice Of long, lonely walks, Lund had
communed with himself and brought
forth the suggestion that she break the
monotony by trip to town.

with you?" There was flicker of
interest in her eyes.
"Well, no, honey" he had hesitated.
II couldn't leave just now. I'm working
double tides to get the mine in such shape
that I'll be free at the end of the year.
The phrase was routine business; but
Alyson looked at him as if she expected
him to say more-to explain. Instead he
modified his proposition by adding:
"If you don't care for going up to town,
why not have some one here to visit your"
She surveyed him with gaze unread

terious feminine barrier.
"Well," slowly and reasonably, "since

the scenery down here. Shall ask him?"
1t was challenger and Lund had never,
since he was breeched, skulked one.

saw him for the first time with alert in
terest, and found him rather a magnificent
creature, correct in the technique of civili
zation, lavishing his immaculate fannels
and white tennis shoes on the Californian
dust. His nickname for Alyson-"Lys"-
irritated Lund. He sketched because
Alyson made him, and before the week was
out had shown himself o dub at everything
he did. He painted badly, rode no better,
sang and played upon several instruments
with deadly mediocrity, had a child's idea
of practical affairs, and bad temper.
In their long desultory talks he and his
hostess discussed world to which Lund
was an outsider. But with this Lund
found no fault. At such times he betook
him to pipe and his technical magazines,
and neither watched nor refrained from
watching them.
Lying there on his bed, Lund tried hard
for moment to understand what it
was that went on beneath the surface of
things yesterday evening, as WAGE and
Alyson talked jokingly about proposed
picnic to a little hut on the mountain oppo-
site the ranch. This sickly joke was worked
overtime, nursed along all evening, fed at
the dinner-table, and Alyson and Wace
were still whispering and nodding together
when he left them at twelve o'clock and
came upstairs to bed.
They were not so long after him; yet
that silence when they parted at the
stair-head had shouted things intolerable.
Then Wace went on to the sleeping porch.
Alyson entered the chamber that ad-
joined his own; and directly came the
soft rasp of key in the door between their
rooms. 1t was like hypodermic of in
fernal fire shot into his veins. He had
stared in the dark toward those panels
till the dawning light showed them to him.
As he looked the lock clicked, the knob

open, and Alyson's dark head appeared.
He felt her gaze studying him. Through
narrowed lids he saw her come forward
step by step, peering at him, a kimono
drawn over her nightgown. His con-
straint suddenly snapped.
"Alyson!" he whispered, starting up.
"Oh-Kort!" She let 60 the door, and
it swung to. She glanced about her, then
whirled to the bureau.
"Kort," her voice blundered on the
name. al thought wanted-one of those

monstrously to call their one-year mar

himself out of bed. She spun round where
she stood.

Nothing. Aren't they there? Look in

Her gaze never left him as she groped
moment uncertainty for the drawer
handle; then she burst out, as if against
her own volition:
"What is it, Kort? What are you going
to do?"
He made no immediate answer as he
sat there on the edge of his bed, his head
dropped bit, staring at her-a look she
had never seen, the front he took into
battle in a mans world.
"Well? just above her breath "What?"
HE put his feet into the waiting bedside

Lund's only reply to this was look.
He had got Tang Foo on the house tele-
phone, and now began giving his orders,
short, sharp, exact: breakfast ready at
once; the saddling of his and Alyson's
horse; the pack-mule with camping out
fit and provisions for two days. That last
item brought her to his side, a hand upon
his arm, shaking it.
"Kort--you'll have to call Stan now.
If we're going to stay two days"
This was the first actual notice of her
capitulation. Lund glanced up swiftly,
and visibly restrained himself from touch
ing her, from offering any acknowledge
ment, only remarking:
"Why bother him? He'll find out about
it when he gets up. Do go and get ready
She surveyed him long got moth
ing from the survey. She caught her
breath to speak; she even parted her lips,
but closed them again. then she flung
round suddenly and ran into her own
room, whence came back to him the
sounds of her pulling things about and
dressing in haste. She appeared at the
door, fully equipped, at the same instant
that Tang Foo's bell announced coffee.
She carried folded note in her hand, and
laid it beside her plate at table. Lund
could see WAGES name written on the
white square. In diligent silence Tang
Foo served the unreasonable meal. They
came out from it to find the saddled horses
and the pack-mule in the patio, Lorenzo,
the Spanish boy, still rubbing his eyes
sleepily, yet going over knot and hitch to
see that all was secure.
Alyson watched everything without a
word. She let Lund put her up on her
horse. But, just short of the gate she :
drew rein and spoke, with quick breath:
"Kort, which way are we going?'
Depends on where you want to pros
pect.'
IL didn't want to prospect at all-this
morning I?'
Lund shrugged.
"Well, we'll get through the gate, any
how; and, driving the pack-mule, he led
the way.
ALYSON made no more queries. From
time to time she glanced forward at
her husbands back, obstinate, formidable,
then at the mountain opposite, then
cautiously back toward the bungalow,
where old Tang Foo droned a Chinese
song as he cleared the table, Lorenzo
pottered at making the patio neat after
them, and WAGE slumbered on the Sleep
ing-porch.
Lund himself did not look back. Even
when they took trail that left the high
way with some pretense of being road,
where they might have ridden abreast, he
still continued to lead, and the trail soon
got discouraged, declining again into

WORTH OF SCHOOL GARDENS
Development Of the Idea Proves How
Valuable Has Been the lnforma-
tion Spread by Them.

1t was only few years ago that the
school garden idea, nature studies
and the teaching of agriculture in the
common schools, were looked upon as
fads of the most exaggerated type.
Farming, it vas maintained, could be
taught on the farm, where it would be
needed; of what possible use was 1t
to teach farming to a city boy or
girl? These nature studies" wasted
the valuable time of the pupil which
should be employed in rational work;
in short, the whole propaganda was
rank nonsense. Yet, the entire move
ment has grown and spread with phe-
uomenal rapdity, and has become al
most the beginning of national pol
Icy. Where ten years ago there was
one city school garden, there are now
a hundred, and every spring sees
thousands Of new ones organized and
open. Towns, cities, and states, and
not least, the national government,
have fostered and pushed the move
ment with enthusiasm. The federal
bureau of education and the depart
ment of agriculture are devoting much
time and energy to it. AS matter of
fact, it is now recognized that the
problem of the education of the Amer
lean boy and girl is more than mat
ter of mere pedagogy. 1t i@ ques-
tion of the industrial efficiency and
social stability of the nation.

SCREENINGS MAKE GOOD FEED
Sheep Gain From Twelve to Fifteen
Pounds During First Thirty Days,
Says Ontario Station.

The Ontario experiment Station has
found that screenings are used in
largo quantities for the winter feeding
OF sheep. the sheep being taken from
the range and fed for about 80 days.
At first they are given only hay, then
q small quantity (one-half pound q
day. OF light, chaffy screenings Is add.
ed. Gradually the quantity of screen.
ings Is increased until in about a
week or ten days. the sheep have ac-
cess to the self feeders" from which
they eat all the screenings they care
for fabout two pounds a day.. At the
samo time the proportion Of chaff in
the screenings is decreased and the
proportion Of grain increased. Grad
ually the screenings are replaced with
corn.
On the screenings the sheep usually
gain from IL to Is pounds during the
first 80 days, after that less rapidly.
1t Is stated that $4,000 sheep will eat
about two cars Of screenings and
car of corn per day. Seed-house
screenings and screenings containing
a large proportion of broken flax are
avoided Another use that Is made of
elevator screenings Is in the manufac-
ture of mixed feeds, chiefly molasses
feeds.
