Jim Davis in the train, cursed at
the delay in reaching his destination.
He was in a bad humor with the
world-not that this was unusual with
him. His gambling trip, which was to
have netted him enough for six
months of extravaganza and luxury,
besides the modicum needed for Molly,
had produced only a few hundreds,
thanks to the new vigilance of the pO-
lice.
He watched the girl in the opposite
compartment. She was a pretty girl,
with a tear-stained face ~ which she
dabbed furtively with her pocket
handkerchief. She looked as Molly
had looked, ten years before, when
he had persuaded her to throw over
slow-going Jack Douglas and become
q gamblers wife.
He knew that Molly had regretted
her choice every week of her life since
then, and he had tainted her with it
and taken pleasure in inviting Doug
las to the house. He could see their
love for each other, unexpressed.
What a fool Douglas was, not to take
advantage of his long absences! But
what a good thing that Molly was a
church member and so incapable of
1eceivi1,g him!
He cursed again as the train sped
on. He had long since tired of Molly.
Still, it was convenient to have the
little household drudge at home, to
cook and slave for him in the rare in
tervals of his presence there.
Suddenly the train lurched, swayed,
swung giddily along the edge of the

MAKES STUDY OF WORKERS
This Employer, as the Story States,
Does Not Decide From
Single Interview.

It is my observation that while an
applicant for position is frequently
i'll at ease, he is nevertheless usually
able, during his first interview, to Gre
CITE the best impression of which he is
at any time capable, provided YOU
make due allowance for the emIar-
rassment which a reasonably modest
man must necessarily feel IL talking
about himself.
On the occasion of his first interview
the applicant is on mental dress ps.
rade. He has rehearsed the scene, and,
while he may forget some of his lines,
nevertheless there is unity of thought
in his remarks which is easily capable
of misleading you as to his mental
caliber.
Thus it is that we like to meet n
man several times before we hire him.
We want to talk to him when he is
not on dress parade. IF he has de-
cided that he is practically sure Of a
position with us, so much the better.
Thinking he has caught his car, will
he sink comfortably into his seat Or
will he remain tense and alert7
A year or so ago I received from a
young man the most favorable impress
sion that I had ever gained of any
prospective employee on first sight. I
saw in him visions of man who might
some day sit at my own desk.
Yet week later he proved at a
luncheon interview to be merely 4
lump of human clay. He had the
brain, but he was mentally lazy. He
made his supreme effort at our first in
terview and, satisfied that he had at
tanned his object, subsidized into his
customary torpid mental state. He
had read and studied but with no def
mite purpose nor with any adequate
comprehension.-W Maxwell, in

TREATED WELL IN TRENCHES
Adventures Resented Arrest When
They Returned From Period OF
"Fun" at the Front.

Mr.. Norman Wilkinson tells this
story in his book, '"The Dardanclles.'
l had the story from Il naval officer
whose duties lay on shore. He was
outside his dugOut one afternoon
when two men in strange raiment
passed. Their gait and the fact that
both wore navy nanncls told HIM at
once that they were blucjacks. Anx-
ious to know what they were doing
there, he stopped and questioned
them.
"Whcrc are you goingT
"MOtor-lightcr K, Sir"
"Do you belong thcre|

"Then what arc you doing herc?
"Well, sir" hestating, "we've just
been up to the trenches"
"Were you sent there with Ordcrs!
"Er-nO, sir"
"How long have you been up there"
COW long, sir?" Then to his COM
panion. "When was it we went up,
Bill?" Then to captain, II should say
about four days, sir"
Finally the captain ordered them I'M
der arrest down to q picket boat In
which he was about to visit the flag
ship. On the way out the captain
heard the two adventures discussing
their detention with some bitterness,
always ending with the same refrain,
"Fine thing, this-under arrest. And
they treat you like gentleman in the
trenches-treat you like q gentleman,
1 say"

embankment and crashed into moth
iEgness!
Jim Davis was on his feet, staring
at the ruin. The girl who had
awakened his interest lay pinned be-
meath a beam. There were heartrend-
ing groans and cries everywhere. BY
n miracle he, Davis, had escaped un-
scathed. Gamblers luck!
He did not stop to think of the suf-
wreck had taken place just at the out
skirts of his home town. Nearby a
trolley car had stopped. A crowd was
gathering, running from every quarter
of the compass. Davis cursed as he
pushed his way through them and
mounted the trolley. Soon he was
speeding far from. the scene of the dis
aster. e.
Half an hour later he was standing
in his apartment. It was queer that
Molly had left the door unlocked. He
would take it out of her for that. He
approa ched the little, barely furnished
living room quietly, intending to sur
prise her and see the happiness fade
out of her eyes. He f1attered himself
that he could read his wife's face like
q book.
To his surprise he saw Douglas
standing there, and Molly, with tear
stained face, leaning her elbow on the
mantel and looking at him attentively.
II am sorry" he said convention
ally.
1T is terrible,' said Molly.
The newspaper gives his name
among those killed. I thought it my
duty to be the first to tell YOU"
Molly put her hands in his. 'Thank
you, Jack" she answered. II can't
pretend to be sorry"
"You ought to be glad" said Jack
Douglas, flushing.
Jim Davis chuckled. The situation
was amusing-extremely so. The
Door fool could have divorced him
years before, and she had felt bound
by her stupid promise at the marriage
altar. And even now these two dared
not tell each other of their love.
Jim was mistaken there. Douglas
held her hands tight in his own.
"AIolly, you know what this means to
me-" he said.
She leaned her face against his
cheek. "To me-" she murmured.
"He was bad man, Molly
"Sometimes I think of the man l
used to love" she answered. 'He was
not wholly bad, Jack. But shall try
TO forget him"
She raised her head and their lips
me-. Incredulity and rage swept over
Davis face. He had not dreamed that
this lore-making would go on in the
fa:e Of his supposed death. He thrust

"A little premature. Douglas" h.
sncered. I'm sorry to break up thi'
love-making scene, but l couldn't dig
when l knew how much it would mean
to you, Molly!"
To his Amusement neither answered
him. Jack put his arm about Molly
and drew her closer to him. jim Davis
ran toward him, his fists clenched.
Get out, you blackguard" he
roared, making q vicious swing at the
other.
His fist seemed to pass right
through Douglas. And still there was
the loving smile on Nolly's face. And
while Jim Davis looked at them in
CONSERVATION everything faded, and
he became aware Of an intense and un-
endurable pain that gripped his body
and wrung it as if in wise.
He opened his eyes and the light Of
day almost blinded him. He was ~.
ing undes the wreckage. It had all
been a dream. Near him was the girl
whom he had seen, pinned under the
beam, but not severely hurt. She was
free above the knee, and it rested
lightly upon her leg, without pressing
there. Still, TO escape was impossi-
bic.
Jim Davis rolled toward her, and
every motion was like the plunging OF
knives into his body.
He tried to lift the beam, but OF
course, could not. And suddenly q
fresh outcry from near by, and a
sense of intolerable heat, startled him,
The wrecl,age was afire from the en-
CINE. The flames were creeping near
er. Men were working frantically to
remove the injured, but there was
hardly time.

in terror.
The flames were circling about them.
A trick of the wind had sent a shower
of sparks across the spos where they
lay, and the wrecked cars on the other
side Of them were blazing. And then
two men rushed through the smoke
and grasped him.
~"Not mel" said Davis. "There's a
girl Hereunder the smoke. Vet the
beam off her leg"
AS the girls choking cry came to
their ears they released the gambler
and plunged into the smoke. Davis
watched them anxiously. Would they
succeed? They strained with all their
might at the fallen beam, while the red
sparks whirled about them, and the
smoke covered them. And Davis
watched more eagerly than he had
ever watched anything in his life.
Suddenly, with a mighty heave, the
men got the beam away. Davis saw
them grasp the girl and carry her to
safety. And then with a roar the
flames swept over him.
Perhaps with that act of abnegation
the gambler made atonement for his
misspent life. In that last moment he
understood that 1t had been granted
him to visit his wife in the spirit, to
learn and understand. But instead of
bitterness there was only Joy in his
heart that Molly was to be free.
So, smiling at the last throw of fate,
Jim Davis yielded up his body to the
flames.
