STRENGTH FROM STRESS.

EnSN NEW
The first to speak after John had
their rights to the book, was Miss
Selden. There was a suspicious mois-
ture in her eyes and her voice shook
little.
"As far as my share in the book
entities me to speak, ! am most anx-
ious that you should accept the offer!'
che said.
The Ferrols understood her rs
though she had given all her reasons
for the decision They knew how
badly she had felt that all their saw
ings should depend on the success Of
her book; how she had thought only
of their welfare in it's success, and had
trembled at the thought of failure be-
cause it would mean disaster to them
Now that she saw a chance for them
to retrieve their risk, her first emo
ton was of gladness for her friends
the Ferrols Edith leaned over and
kissed her in wordless appreciation.
John looked at Edith for her deci-
sion. She shook her head.
I'D rather not say anything, dear.
until ! know how you feel about the
offer" she said. John urged her.
Il am so evenly divided on the mat
ter that what you and Miss Selden
think would decide me-" he said slow
ly. Its a hard matter to decide. II
! were single or just married, then l
should joyously keep to the high seas,
padding my own canoe. There is
storm and danger and uncertainty in
store; but there is adventure too, and
a chance for profitable ports. But
it's not myself only I'm venturing-"
He stole a glance at the children
who were listening wide-eyed, not in
the least understanding what The talk
meant.
Il am for putting in at the port for
time" John said finally. Now,
Edith, tell me how you feel about It,"
She sat down by his side and with
out word laid the letter from her
brother before him. in which he asked

for money to- bring his invention to
successful outcome. When John
had read the letter he looked up grave
ly hut said nothing.
81 should have been content which
ever way you decided about the 20
sition, John, John" Edith said simply.
"Only l wanted you to know one
reason why I'm so glad you're going
back to the salary and-and safety
Sara Selden rose and with the
habitual -effacement of the gentle,
from other peoples problems, moved
quietly to the door.
81 suppose we have all agreed, then,
to accept Mr. Carriers offer, she sad
IF so, l am going to take the chill
dren into the living room for a little
celebration romp, if you will excuse
u.s."
When Edith and John were alone.
Edith FASTENED to say:
John, dear. l don't want you to
feel l am committing you to lending
Edgar our money. Only l do want
you to look into the matter for your
self before l refuse him his chance.
We have learned to risk our all on
the best abilities we have. We have
not gambled with tive have only
ventured legitimately, taken stock in
ourselves and aur ability. We have
turned our little savings into an active
power for us, instead of letting it lie
as insurance money. All l want you
to think about, John, is that here may
be another chance for US to venture
out, another exercise for what little
courage and strength we have gained
in living boldly and positively instead
of hiding in a Tut. Don't you feel that
way"
There is not a deeper thrill than
that which passes from man to a
woman when one feels sudden glow
of admiration, trust and love for the
other John felt this now and answer
ed his wife tenderly: Yes, do think
SO, little woman. Well see about this
invention of Edgar's.
BROTHER ARRIVES
With John Ferrops resumption of
his place in the Carter Publishing
Company, his augmented salary of $50
week, and his more inspiring duties
as head OF the sales department, the
little household at Arcadia settled
into comparative ease. Carter had
passed a nice. lavender-tinted check
for $3.50 into Johns hands, being the
sum 1t had cost the Ferrols to put
out Miss Selden's book, "The Question
Of Life" Miss Selden herself had
gone back to town, to her teaching,
but with a comfortable bit of money
in the savings bank as the price OF
her marketed volume. Though none
OF them put it into words, they all

cieS AS collateral for loans with which
to grow suddenly rich, or to meet the
expenses of living. They do not save.
