WORK AND THE MAN

When Nicoll had gone, Walt stood
with his head pressed against the
glass of his window, trying to think
way out of the labyrinth in which
he and Janet were cropping away from
each other. His brain was numb; his
head was in fever. Life was playing
cat-and-mouse with him and Janet.
Humility, self-contempt, self-reproach
brought him no relief They were not
sincere with him. He did not know
wherein he had gone wrong; any more
at fault. There seemed nc one to
blame for the situation any more than
for a storm at sea.
A knock on his door went UNDECIDED.
The door opened and he heard some
one enter his room. 1t was Lucy, her
face rosy from a quick walk from her
studio across the square. Walt knew
by the step it was she. He did not
feel in the mood for explanations and
would not have given any. But Lucy
asked him no questions; there was no
need for them. She followed her in
stinct and simply proposed work. TAX
ing out some sketches from her port
a few tactful words she got his mind
to work, and off his tormenting diem
ma. Only vaguely conscious of some
thing wrong, so absorbed did he grow
in his work that hours passed before
the matter they had to settle for the
printers was fully attended to. Then
with the closing of Lucy's portfolio as
she put in her sketches, came back
the full weight of his trouble to Walt.
1t was as though Lucy and work were
magic to Danish troubles from his
spirit. With their leaving would go
their kindly protection. He dreaded
being alone.
If. only there were something he
could do, no matter how hard, that
would help solve Janet's problem!
Over and over Walt groaned at the
leaden weight so new to him-the
consciousness of helplessness. He was
not even aware that Lucy had not
gone, as his thoughts flew back again
to their brooding.
"Walt, don't want to rush you too
much with the book" Lucy said,
studying him quietly, "but II you are
in the mood for it, I'd like to talk
over the next two or three pictures
for your book. Would you care to

have a chop with me up at the studio
and talk it over?"
Work! AS though it had the heal
er's touch, the thought of it came like
balm to him.
Yes, yes, indeed, Lucy. want to
plug at that book just as hard as |
can; as hard as you are willing to
do it," he cried gratefully.
Then you'll have to keep at 1t
pretty steadily. Walt" Lucy said. "Be-
cause I'm in perfect stew to get
that book done and another one start
ed. I've known nothing for years and
years so blessed to me as this work
we are doing!"
That's the way / feel about 1t, too,
Lucy!" Walt said earnestly.
They went out shopping for chops,
salad and little cakes for their dinner,
talking all the time of nothing but
the work they had in common. Lucy
did this from choice; Walt cut Of in
stinct for self-presevation from the
canker of brooding.
They cooked and ate their dinner
together in Lucy's studio, never ceas-
ing to speak Of their work. Lucy al
ways struck sparks from Waits mind
and he, in turn, fed her imagination.
They outlined the rest OF Waits book;
and accumulated themes for a new
one. And they sketched out rough
ideas for Lucy's illustrations.
When late that evening, Lucy show
ed signs of physical tiredness, Walt
noticed it with a sort of tender graft
tude for what she had done for him.
Without her, that day would have

been one of torment only. With her
aid, it had borne fruit and made him
forget.
Not for one instant did Lucy speak
either of herself or of him aside from
their work. SO true had been her
instinct, SO sure her touch, that she
reaped her reward, as she saw It.,
sooner than she had dared to hope.
Walt got up as soon as he realized
that Lucy must be tired. He had gone
to the door, and she had accompanied

n lME CAPTAIN FOR
STRANDING STR. NORTH STAR

Halifax. n. s.. Aug. LEA court Of
inquiry into the stranding Of the
steamer North Star on Green Island
of Yarmouth a week ago, while
bound from Boston to that port.
found today that the captain Of the
vessel, Captain Louis Strout, was in
default for carless navigation and
neglect to consider the 493 lives who
had trusted their safety to his care.
The court found that. according TO
his own admission Captain Strout
navigated the ship at it's full speed
of Is knots in a dense fog, IAN at
which was unwarranted, especially
as he had found that his log had
supposedly been tempered with. :
Upon hearing whistling buoys two
miles distant, the coutr said, an ef-
fort should have been made to pick
them up.
AS the court has no jurisdiction
over his license, a copy will be sent
TO the United States Consul at Var
mouth for transmission to the proper
authorities in the United States. The
court consisted of Captain Demers,
Canadian wreck commissioner, and
two Montreal assessors.

PLAN STANDARDIZATION
NEW AMERICAN PARTY"

Fort Worth. Tex. Aug. 15.-Plans for
na,ionalizing the new Amer can party
organized here yesterday by a group OF
Texas DEMOCRATS dissatisfied with their
party. will be put into effect upon ap-
peintment Of a special committee for
that purpose, it was stated today.
Meanwhile the other faction of DEM
ccrats, which determined yesterday on
a campaign of reconstruction within
the party. today planned for a definite
line of attack under the leadership of
former Senator Joseph W. Bailey.
Political observers declare that the
factions simply are divided as to the
means to attain . common end. and
find significance in the following W
terance of Mr.. Bailey:
We intend to follow the principi -
adopted yesterday. wherever they may
lead Us. If the Democratic party. stat:
and national. comes to these principles.
then we are with the Democratic. II.
rot, as say, we will follow these prin-
ciples wherever they may lead US"
The platform Of the American party
expresses opposition to the League Of
Nations as at present constituted; op-
poses national equal suffrage and pro-
hibition; demands prison terms for
trust formers. and urges return Of the
railroads to the people.
