like Reenle she was And just as he
was beginning to think Mr.. Duncan
must surely have forgotten his lesson
he heard her asking him II she should

do II herself, the butt-in?-and then
he heard her fine, silvery voice rising
In the notes of that song about the
land where the sun should never go

how lonely. how terribly, terribly
lonely he was. Ahd he sat with head

CHAPTER v.

The summer was not far gone when
Dave. through an Introduction fur
nished by Mr.. Duncan, got new job.
1t was In the warehouse Of whole
sale grocery, trundling cases and
sacks of merchandise. 1t was cleaner
than handling coal, and the surround
ings were more cQngenial and the
month to begin.
"The first thing Is to get out of the
deadline." said Mr.. Duncan. II am
not hoping that you will have found
destiny in wholesale warehouse. but
you must get out Of the deadline. AS
long as you shovel coal you will shovel
coal. And you are not capable Of
anything better un II you think you
are"
But I've liked 1t pretty WE'LL" said
Dave. "As long as was just work.
ing for my wages II was dull going.
but 1t was different after got to see
that even shoveling coal was worth
while. l suppose II is the same with
groceries, or whatever one does. AS
soon as you begin to study what you
handle, the work loses its drudgery.
1t isn't mans job that makes him
sick of his job; It's what he thinks
of his job"
A light of satisfaction was In his
teachers eyes as Dave made this an
swer. Mr.. Duncan had realized that
he was starting late with this pupil
and IL there were any short cuts to
education he must find them. SO he
had set out deliberately. to instil the
idea that education Is not matter OF
schools and colleges. or courses OF
reading. or formulate of any kind, hui
matter of the five senses applied Il
every experience of life. And he knew
that nothing was coarse or common
that passed through Dawes hands.

Not all undergarments are frilly un4
lacy-there are many very plain
things, simple and tailored, that con-
tent themselves with hep-stitching and
perhaps single prim little bow for
decoration.
But not to this class belong the
night dress and envelope chemise
shown In the picture. Batiste and all
the silks available for undergarments
are to be had In printed designs sim
liar to that used for these two pretty
garments that are the glory Of the
trousseau. Here they are made OF
lowered wash silk, with frllls of lace
about the neck and sleeve openings
and frills of ribbon about the bottom.
Pretty bow knots made Of shlrred rib

are set on the front Of both the night
dress and the chemise. Light pink ID
the favOrite color for undergarmentS
but other cOlors are used. The sheer
est fabrics are not often chosen In
white, but cottons and silks that are
to be often Numbered are better In
white than in cOlors. Batiste In light
pink stands Tubing well and has
made an important place for itself in
American made lingerie.

Silk and cotton, channels or wash
able kid gloves, are preferred for
gloves that must be often cleaned, and
they are the only practical kinds for
business women, or others who must
wear them every day. ChamOisette-
cloth that looks like channels skin
Is made In oil the glove cOlOrs and
white, and II Is the most satisfactory
material for everyday wear. Gloves
made Of II should be washed In luke
warm water with bland soap, rinsed
and hung up to dry. If stitched with
black II Is better to wash In cold wa
ter; squeeze as dry as possible in a
soft towel and dry quickly to keep the
black from running. Pieces Of turk
jsh towel stuffed into gloves Of this
kind will help to prevent the color
from spreading while they are drying,
and also prevent drying In streaks,
which sometimes happens wh.n the
gloves are hung up to dry without
this precaution. With gloves as with
stockings, 1t is best to have several
pairs and wear them In rotation, wash
Ing them when solled. Three pairs
will insure clean gloves for week,
even In the smoke-laden mir of cities.
Cotton and silk gloves may BIZ very
successfully darned, using glove
darner In the fingers. Double finger
tips in silk gloves are worth the extra
price they bring, for 1t Is more diff
cult to darn silk gloves than cotton
ones.
How to Care for Kid Gloves.
There are right and wrong ways OF
putting on gloves. The right way
does not injure them; the wrong way
weakens and tears the skin or fabric
In very short time Black kid gloves
should be kept In paraffin or oiled
paper. A black glove is white skin
painted. This paint will harden and
dry II not properly cared for. All

and then about his old life on the
ranch. and then about coming To- town.
Almost before he knew II he had told
her about Reenie Hardy. but he had
checked himself In time. And Mrs.
Duncan had noticed u, without com
ment. and realized that her guest was
not boy hut man.
Then MIR. Duncan talked about gar
dening. and from that to Dawes skill
In backing his team to the coal chute,
and from that to coal itself Dave had
shoveled coal all winter. but he had
not thought about coal except as
something to he shoveled and sbov-
eled. And ns Mr. Duncan explained
to him the wonderful provisions of ma.
ture--how she had stored away In the
undiscovered lands billions of tons Of
coal. holding them In reserve until the
worlds supply OF timber for fuel
should be nearing exhaustion. and as
he told Of the unreasonable wealth of
this great new land in coal resources,
and Of how the wheels Of the world,
traffic and industry and science. even,
were dependent upon coal and the
man who handled the coal. Dave felt
his breast rising with sense OF the
dignity Of his calling. He had had to
do with this wonderful substance oil
winter. and not until tonight had 1t
fired the divine spark Of his magma
ton. The time licked on, and although
he was eager to be ut work he almost
dreaded the moment when Mr.. Duncan
should mention his lesson. But be-
fore that moment came there was a
ripple Of laughter ut the door, and a
girl In tennis costume and young
man a little older than Dave entered.
Edith" said Mrs. Duncan.
Dave arose and shook hands. Then
Mr.. Allan Forsyth was introduced
Mr.. Forsyth shook hands heartily, but
Dave was conscious of being caught in
one quick glance which embraced him
from head to heel. And the glance
was Observation-Disclosures 1t was
such glance as Dave might give a
horse when he would say. "A good
horse. but I can handle him." It was
evident from that glance that Forsyth
had no fear Of rivalry from that quar-
ter. And having no fear he could af
ford to be friendly.
Dave had no distinct remembrance
Of what happened just after that, but
he was conscious of an overwhelming
desire to hear Miss Duncan sing. How

gloves should be kept away from salt
or damp air as much as possible.
They should be kept dry. but away
from heat. Time and great care
should be taken in putting them on
the first time, so that the seams may
not be stretched.
Cleaning Kid Gloves.
After the gloves have been cleaned
with petrol or benzine, and they are
quite dry. place them on the hand and
stroke firmly with bone saltspOOn,

Ing down to the wrist. This slnOoths
and pOlishes the kid, and the gloves
keep clean much longer.
Mending tho Gloves.
Use cotton thread for mending kid
gloves, a. silk thread will cut the kid.
Do not use the over stitch. as II al
ways shows so plainly. Take stitch
on one side of the seam and then a
stitch on the opposite side, and draw
them together. This keeps the regu-
lar seam intact and cOnceals the fact
that the glove Is mended.
To Keep Evening Gloves Clean.
To keep evening gloves clean in a
street car or train draw pair Of
loose white silk or Isle gloves over
the kid. The outer gloves may be
easily drawn Off and slipped into
muff or pocket.
Long Gloves, Cut OF.
Cut off the hand part Of long gloves.
The arm part Is perfectly good. Take
1t to glove factory, and have short

| AS soon as Dave had learned to read

to the public library. and the young
man CROPPED In amazement up and
down the great rows OF books. Pres

"Yes. Of course. Why"
"When you go into fruit store do

not slow TO realize the broad nature
of the task to which Mr.. Duncan had
set himself His education was to be
built of every knowledge and expert
ence that could go into the rounding
Of a well-developed life.
The climax seemed to he reached
when Mr. Duncan invited Dave to ac-
company him to q dinner at which q

tinent. had consented to speak.

Duncan. 81 suppose you are hardly
fitted out that way?"
~ guess not" said Dave, smiling
broadly. He recalled the half-humOr-

gang referred to any who might be
seen abroad In their Hereford
fronts" He had sudden vision of

ridicule.
But Mr.. Duncan was continuing.

before he knew it 1t was arranged that
Dave should attend the dinner.
1t was an eventful night for him.
His shyness soon wore Off, for during
these months he had been learning to
accept any new experience gladly.
And as he sat among this company
of the best minds of the town he felt
that new world was opening before
him. His good clothes seemed to work
up In some way through his subcOn-
sciousness and give him sense of Gu
pability. He was in the mental at
mOsphere of men who did things, and
by conforming to their customs he
had brought his mind INTO harmony
with theirs, so that 1t could receive
suggestions, and-whO knOws?-return
suggestions. And he was made to
think, think, think.
