"You are very capable. Miss Lane.
and If you will tell me more about
about yourself would like to make
you my secretary" he said. his gray
eyes upon her.
She shook her head, frightened.
REALLY, there is nothing to tell"
His words disturbed her. If she was
to be his stenographer she would not
have the opportunity to secure the
damaging paper; as his secretary she
would. But evidently before giving
her the position Of trust he wished to
know more about her.
To her surprise the next morning
she found herself doing secretary's
work. Her hopes rose again; she
would get those papers.
The week went by. Her fathers case
was approaching trial. She caught her.
self wondering, now and then, if she
had not better tell Colwell the whole
story-her own action-whO she was.
She felt sometimes as If she simply
must go to him. Her thoughts were
often with him; memories haunted her
after working hours-memcries Of his
face, his ways; and suddenly the truth
came.
Her face crimsoning though she was
In the shelter of her own room; she
tried to drive the thought away. 81 do
believe l am in love with him-Oh, the
idea Of it!-the man who may send ia
Their to prison !"
She fought bravely, but when she
found on her desk bunch of roses the
,pext morning she all but wept into
them. 1t was just his customary
thoughtfulness. yet 1t meant more than
that to her.
Then came the crisis The next
afternoon she saw him take some pa.
pers from case, and from her desk
she read the inscription upon them.
1t was the evidence against her ia
Their. She saw COlwell glance through
them, then place them In file. He
picked up another folio and went out.
ed eyes. Then with low cry, stirred
by some inner despair. she rushed
over, drew the slip of papers from the
file and clasped 1t to her with a whis-
per. "NOw have them"
She turned to her desk and paused.
In the door stood Colwell, his grave
eyes upon her, and In them something
that drove her wavering senses into
confusion. His eyes were not stern
although they told her that he knew
something was wrong-but gentle and
plying.
She let the papers fall from her
numb fingers and swayed as she stood.
"Miss Bishop" he began.
He knew her name. 1t was the last
shock. She wavered in faintness, and,
struggling against it, she started for
her desk, to find the whirling office
grow steady as strong arms held her
tightly. His eyes, looking down into
her frightened ones, held the old but
beautiful light and her fear grew into
wonder and then into rush Of hope
and happiness.
"My dear little plotter, I know who
you are; saw you months ago, and
thought II would like to have you
with me-for-why, always, of course.
Then you appeared in the office. I
could not guess why, but know now.
Didn't you see put your fathers case
in the file Of those to be dismissed?
There. now, let's go to your home and
tell him. Then, too. l want to ask
him for permission to make love to
you In real way!

HOW CHAIN OF HUMAN
~ w EXISTENCE is AZ

E<Nio CANNJI AT
FE G TED BY URE'S
LAWS.-Everything out Of
doors is a matter Of law.
That Is, all actions of all Great
ed things are i'm conformity to
the laws laid down by nature.
Growth and development are
not by chance; they are matters
OF law. The robin returns to
certain region, not as q mat
ter of accident or chance, but
because it is governed absolute
~ by law-just as much so as
the drop of water flows down
the steep sides of the roof accord
ing to law.
Every action Of every created
thing affects the action of all
other created things. All nature
Is interviewer until nothing can
do anything without its having
its effect upon everything else.
That may seem like a strange
statement, but ii is fact. But
let's make it little palmer.
Columbus started across the
Atlantic ocean, and was headed
for the shore along about what
we now call South Carolina, al
though of course he didn't know
it. When a few days out he
saw birds flying to the south1,
west and changed his course and
followed them, and landed at
San Salvador. The birds were
following the laws of nature
In their migratiOns-and Column
bus followed the laws of nature
when he changed his course and
followed them-the law of ma
ture that gave him reasoning
powers, for he reasoned that the
birds were going toward land.
We are what we are today, in
dividually, because of some lit
tie happening . thousand years
agO-becausc some of our ances-
tors took trip at certain
time and met others of our an
cestOrs, or because somebody
else did or did not do a certain
thing. Had a ship bearing some
of our ancestors been driven a
mile out Of It's course a thou
sand years ago, we would not
be here today.
If the roads had not been
muddy one day, some Of our an
cestOrs would have failed to at
tend a gathering which they did
attend, and had they failed to at
tend such gathering. would
not have met others Of our an
cestOrs, and the whole chain Of
their lives apd Of the lives Of
their offspring would have been
broken. We would not be the
identical persons we are today.
So 1t Is true that everything I'm
the world today is as 1t isr every
human being In the world to-
day Is as he or she Is, because
Of the millions Of details that
took place-because of the little
happenings" in the lives Of 9th
ers. The chain Of human exist
ence has followed the laws laid
down; we are what we are,
therefore, because Of natures
laws.
