Glen stopped speaking and her eyes
that had wandered came back to Al
ans face. She drew a quiYering breath.
Her face had been pale, but now the
sudden color surged up over her throat
and into her cheeks. She put up her
hands to her forehead. "Oh." she
gasped, you have driven me too far.
| am a mean thing in my own eyes as
| am In yours"
At first Alan had stood stunned by
the words In which she had poured out
her Overburdened heart, but as she
went on pitilessly laying bare her sub
lection a fame lit up his eyes and fred
his blood. Now he sprang forward and
dragged her hands from her face.
Mean. Glen? Mean In my eyesY
Then his tongue failed him. He sank
to the wet grass at her feet, took her
knees in his arms and hid his hot face
In her skirt. MY God, my Cod" he
cried. 81 am mean, but what there
is of me has knelt to you by night and
worshlped you by day When you
were little you were In my heart and
you have grown up to 1t. When you
were little there was room there for
other things. but now that you have
grown up you have filed it-all of it
every nook and Granny"
A tremor went through Clem's body.
She rested the fingers Of one hand on
Alan's head and tried to turn up his
face. But he held 1t close to her knees.
IF you want me. Glen. II you. want
me, then there must be things left
things have never-could never give
to anyone else. But am ashamed
to pour them into your lap-I must
pour them at your feet"
NO" said Glen gravely. 81 do not
want you to pour things at my ieet.

and If there's any man left in"
"Clem," broke in Alan, there is
enough man left in me. II youll only

You can understand that, Glen? You
know what grooming and clean
stable will do for a shaggy hOrseT'
Glen nodded. How much time do
you want?
Alan hesitated. "a year." he said.
"I'll make a year do It." ....
You can have six months" replied
Glen and added with smile, THAT'S
ten per cent under Office estimates"
Then forgetful of hours and meals
and the little things in life that do not
count when human souls mount to the
banquet Of the gods, they sat side by
side and hand In hand on big rock
and stared with unseeing eyes at the
gray world. with you beside me"
said Alan. "alI skies are blue and filed
with the light Of single. steady star"
Glen did not answer, but in her eyes
content and knowledge, tenderness
and strength, pleasure and pain played
with each other like the lights and
dappled shadows under a swaying
bough.

1t was from Barbados that Gerry
had cabled. Ever since he had written
his short note to AllX, through long
doubling weeks at Piranhas and longer
days of questioning and hesitation on
board the slow freighter that was

fighting himself. Only Lieber's sudden
death and his burial, to which Gerry
had ridden post-haste, had come In be-

On the freighter he had had time
enough and to spare to think. He had
spent hours going over the same
ground time and time again. For days
he sat in his chair on the short bridge

SAFETY FIRST PLEA is
SENT TO SPEED FIENDS

A safety first plea will accompany
North Dakota license tags to each Of
the states 10000 acknowledgements
in 1916.
"A Word of Caution to Motorists"
is the title of a particularly timely
circular just issued by the Northern
Pacific bureau of efficiency. The
warning sinks home, in view of a
series of disastrous automobile-train
collisions within the past six weeks.
The circular advises caution in ap-
preaching grade crossings, and calls
attention to the fact that in 1914,
LAT persons were killed and 2,935 in
jured at grade crossings. In 1915,
9917 persons lost their lives and 1888
were injured. "The reduction in
casualties in 1915, as compared with
the previous year, is due to warning
notices posted by railway companies
and automobile clubs" says the
Northern Pacific.
"Trairs have no choice of %routes,"
reads the circular. "They must run
on the rails, and their patrons re-
quire that they be on time if pos
sible. Motor car drivers can choose
their own routes, and the occupants
of machines usually ere not pressed
for time"
An interesting table showing the
speed of trains or cars moving from
five miles an hour to 100 miles, as
counted in seconds, is a feature of the
circular. 1t shows that a train or
car moving five miles an hour travels
7.3 feet per second; at 80 miles an
hour, "A feet per second, and at 100
miles an hour, $50 feet per second.
Trains moving rs to 40 miles an
hour can under ordinary conditions
stop within 1900 feet, while motor
cars running at the same speed can
be stopped in about thirty feet. The
train often weighs as much IS 5000
