Would they? No stirring Of vital
ity in Bressac over that cheerful an
nouncement.
He was at that ebb In the struggle
between life and death where it made
no difference to him whether he liT-

Everything was too much trouble.
There was silence between the two
men for quite while: then Bressac's
brows contracted, knottcd painfully.

had just dropped again at the edge
OF the crater.
The director studied Bressac with
his inside eyes. then he hunted up the

Bressac aTokc. as usual. In the
cold gray fog. He was with Janet
and Maupeta. From some place
nearby came the purr OF machine gun
fire-No. There was something
wrong with the sound this time.
It was more like the tinkle OF
musical instrument.
Their was laugh; Enthusiastically
there was laugh:
Bressac frowned at the Interrupt

turned his head.

there was another bed by the side of

"Play Monsieur Bressac your new

You could pursue that system with
men OF brave spirit. II they were
morbid-minded fellows. like the Ger
mans, they would help to make each

sac remembered what someone had
told him about the German hospitals.
how a wounded soldier was taken up
and put through the curative pro-
cesses like clock work. how the fsola-
ton system was practiced as much as
possible, how there was a marked
difference in the treatment Of the SOL
der who could be used in the ranks
sgaiu, and the one who would be
burden after his recovery.
Efficiency! The memory OF the
very word made Bressac's temper
come up. his first temper since he had
been wounded.

Ned quit the shop few days later

which she had half promised to Flow
erton. She was not surprised nor dis
pleased, to see Ned waiting on the
porch as she stepped from the Calls
glittering car. But instead Of being
merely impressed, and properly jeal-
GUS, Ned's face wore an ugly look. He
stuck around" until the Golden Calf
had whizxed from sight, then turned
on Fay with a glare that shot exceed
ing discomfort through that pretty
young persons mind.
Look here, my girl" he opened, In
menacing tone-and Fay did bate
to be menaced-"you're going to play
decent game whether you want to
or not, get me? II Sam Bennings is
your choice, then quit me-and may
you both be happy! But if it's me,
then prove it by your conduct. Which
is it," Ned was too angry to be gra M
NAUTICAL, and Fay, shallow as she was,
perceived in his very carelessness OF
speech the real feeling that lay behind
it. She wanted to keep this red-blood-
ed young workman" only she didn't
want him to be a workman exteriorly.

Come, which of us is it to be? Sam

Fay followed up her advantage. "If

tone, "why not you? If you loved me
you'd give up that nasty machine shop.

WORKMAN OR "cENrLEMAN"7

WORKMAN OR "GENTIEMAN"1
The question now rose of Ned's
quitting his job at the motor and en-
CINE works and .devoting his whole
time to the promoter, Larney. and his
plans for floating the company "Of
course you must give up that horrid,
messy position, Edgar" insisted Fay
Summers. Nobody will have any
thing to do with your heater stock as
long as you're just a workman. 1t
doesn't look right. 1t looks cheap and
and common"
But there was something in Edgar
Flowerton's nature that rose in denial
of Fay's arguments. The one serious
strain in Ned was his passionate love
of mechanics. To the study and work
ing out of this science he had given
his very best. Through all his fritter-
ing years the one thing that had kept
him from being absolutely a ne'er-do-
well was his mania for tools and ma
chinery. Many an engagement with
a girl had been forgotten because Ned
Flowerton, dead to the world of So
cial laws, was lying on his back be-
meath some stalled motor with grease
dripping into. his hair and a wrench in
one grimed fist. Infatuated as he now
was with the blonde beauty of Fay
Summers, Ned had no reverence for
the girls reasoning powers. He hung
onto his "horrid messy" job at the
works. And Fay pouted.
When pouts failed to move Ned to

jealousy She reminded Ned that Sam
Bennings was pining for the privilege
of spending some of his riches upon

the Golden Calf many opportunities to

THE WAR

THE WAR
The awful war is over, and no more
the boys will roam.
Through No Mans land, where
hardships are SO great,
How happy, each Of them will be, to
know they're coming home,
Where mothers, wives and sweethearts
gladly wait.
There's some will be so happy, while
there's others oh, SO sad,
To find their boys, are missing from
the rest,
Still we will pray that, those who fell
while fighting for the cause,
Will go to Him above us, and be
blessed.
For oh, how grand, it is to know,
although we give them up,
They fought and freed the country,
that we love.
We trust that everyone who fell, while
fighting over there,
Is safely with his maker, up above.
