THE AWAK ENING

Several hours later his prone form
stirred uneasily. Slowly, as though
shaking himself from the grip of night

then sat up suddenly. For some mo-

ing about his heart to leave him. along
with the ugly phantasmia which had
been SO real moment before.
Instead of fading with the rest of
the bad dream, however, the weight
stayed on his heart. He had met his
first real failure-a failure not due to

needed only another try to overcome.
He had failed because of an actual

vein that made the alloy in her. At
this moment the real man in him
showed in his honest facing of the
cause of his failure to sell his inven-

feel themselves to be. Then they pro-
coed to prove in deeds the truth of
their words.
But Ned was sound youth, ready
with the consciousness of his talents
and future in which no glory was
impossible. 1t was no easy and fam
iliar mood, therefore, in which he
found himself when he awoke. Feel
ing that he had been criminally weak
and negligent, the next thing was to
administer punishment.
He dressed and went in to dinner.
But he did not eat.

don't try to stop me. It's for my own
good I'm doing it. I've done little
enough for you so far. But I'm not
giving up. I'm moving into town to-
morrow and by gosh, I'm going to
camp there until I've sold my heater!"
Much as it distressed Edith to see
the brother she had always mothered

in the motive and the manner of his
leaving that gave thrill of hope for
his welfare. Even John shot him a

messages about his strenuous cam

At the end of the week, however, he
came to the Ferrol home, looking wan

Those that saw chance to take me

outcome in lieu of cash. At that. they

me it is worth while going in with

What are you going to do?" Edith
asked in a small, tired voice.
