however, of considerable scouting in

Steve was denying himself. And
gradually she settled down to accus-
tom herself to his absence. Steve
wrote that he was going into the in
terror and she might not hear from
him for a while, but he was not go
ing into any dangeF'and she was not
to worry.
A letter came two months later,
inclosing five hundred and announc-
ing that Steve had struck a rich
claim. Meta wrote out of the Joy
of her heart and he answered much
iSteT. That was the last letter Steve
received from Meta.
AS the months slipped by and none
Of Steve's letters were answered he
became desperate. AT last he set
tied down grimly to making his pile.
He trusted Meta, and he believed
that if she were dead, somebody
would have written. He did not
make inquiries about her, but peo-
pie do not trouble to interest them
selves on behalf of those who are
distant, and nobody answered him.
When the two years were ended
Steve saw a fortune within his
grasp if he remained a third year.
He remained a third, and at the end
of that time it was a case ola cool
million if he remained a fourth, and
then business went to the dogs, and
it meant a fifth year.
At the end of the fifth Steve sold
out for three millions and half and
went home.
He had had little hopes Of finding
Meta in the fiat they had occupied,
and so he was spared that disap-
pointment. But the old lady who
came to the door ran after Steve as
he turned away.
Are you Mr.. Stephen Jackson?"
she asked.
steve Jackson - yes,~ ma'am,"
said Steve.

time he was in the suburban dis
trict and had found 1874
It was a trim little cottage, COW
cred with towering vine, and
Steve suddenly found himself too
shy to enter. And as he hung out
side the door, in an agony of appre-
hension and joy, two children en-
tered the gate of the little garden.
They were Ellen and Tom. Steve
knew his own anywhere. And they
were dressed as he had never hoped
to~dress his children.
Where are you going?" asked the
man at the gate.
Were coming from school," an

Steve looked at the house and at
the children. These2were his-eVery-
thing was as he had dared to dream
that It would be; and yet now he was
afraid. He was afraid that he, a
common man, would bring his COM
monness into their lives. He had
been away so longevity should he
ever return?
In that moment, for the first time,
in spite of what his child had said, he
had a doubt of Meta. He wondered
whether she had stopped writing to
him because of this, because he
would drag her and her children
down.
And he turned miserably away.
He would go somewhere to think it
all over. \
He went down the sunny street,

Municipal Surveys.

In many cities the chamber of COM
merce or another similar organization
has undertaken an elaborate and ex-
haustive survey Of the municipal gov
eminent. with the willing cooperation
and helpful suggestions of the execU-
tives and departmental heads Of the
city. The primary object Of such
survey is 10 disclose how things can be
done better at less cost, how service
can be improved. how citizens can be
brought TO O livelier and more en-
during realization of their individual
duty toward the city In which they are
shareholders.
What is the result Of such a sur

and well-managed ciJy is attractive in
itself. Men like 10 live in the place
that can boast of governmental advan-

Of the charges that every business

q latent appreciation of the half-hOur
talk he had given IN the few well-chos-
en- words she spoke. They brought
quick flicker to the eye of Ruyter, for
he traced sincerity in the utterance.
He strolled a block or two in leis-
urely promenade with his friend, and
then went his way alone. He was not
dissatisfied with his lecture, for he
had mentally applied his theme to the
various phases of wOmanhOOd among
his auditors. His descriptions and
their application were felicitously sug-
gestive. The dark, dangerous beauty
of a naughty lady of fashion in the
audience seemed appropriately repre-
Sented by the subtle Odor of yellow
Jasmine, the deliCaCy and slight senu-
mentality Of a pretty girl of eighteen
