like Reenie 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
sing. And then he saw Forsyth at the
piano-why couldn't he leave her to
do 1t herself, the bu:t-in land then
he heard her fine, silyery voice rising
in the notes of that song about the
land where the sun should never 60
down. And suddenly he knew
how lonely. how terribly, terribly
lonely he was. And he sat with head
bowed. that they might not know. 4.
And then there were other songs,
and at last Mrs. Duncan, who had
slipped away unnoticed, returned with
silver teapot and cups of delicate
china, and sandwiches and cake, and
they sat about and ate and drank and
talked and laughed. And when he
looked at his watch 1t was eleven
o'clock
Il guess we didn't get any lesson
tonight" he said as he shook hands
with Mr.. Duncan at the sidewalk.
II am not so sure" replied his tutor.
The first thing for you to learn is
that all learning does not come from
books. A good listener can learn US
much as & good reader--f he listeps

Dave walked home the thought deep
ened in him that 1t really had been
lesson, and that Mr.. Duncan had In
tended it that way. And he wondered
what remarkable fortune had been his.
The air was full of the perfume of
balm O. Gilead. and his feet were light
with the JOY of youth. And he thought
much of Edith and of Reenie Hardy.
In subsequent lessons Dave was rap.
idly initiated into many matters be-
sides parlor manners and converse
ton Mr.. Duncan placed the first and
greatest emphasis upon learning TO
write and to write well. They had
many philosophic discussions, In which

CHAPT v,

The summer was not far gone when
Dave, through an introduction fur
nished by Mr.. Duncan, got a new job
1t was In the warehouse of a whole.
sale grocery, trundling cases and
sacks of merchandise. 1t was cleaner
than handling coal, and the surround.
ings were more congenial and the
wages were better-tifty dollars a
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 il you think you
are"
But I've liked 1t pretty WE'LL" said
Dave. "As long as l was just work.
ing for my wages 1t was dull going,
but 1t was different after l got to see
that even shoveling coal was worth
while. l suppose It 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 Il 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 tina,
he was starting late with this pupil
and If 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 a matter OF
schools and colleges, or courses OF
reading or formulate of any kind, bu,
matter of the five senses applied tc
every experience of life. And he knew
that nothing was coarse or common
that passed through Dawes hands.

deeply interested In the young man
who was to be her coachman. Dave
had never been in a home like this,
and his eyes, unaccustOmed to COM
Portable furnishings, appraised them
as luxury. He soon found himself talk
ing with Mrs. Duncan about horses,
and then about his old life on the
ranch, and then about coming to town.
Almost before he knew it he had told
her about Reenie Hardy, but he had
checked himself in time. And Mrs.
Duncan had noticed 1t. without com
ment, and realized that her guest was
not boy but a man.
Then Mr.. Duncan talked about gar
dening, and from that to Dawes skill
and from that to coal itself. Dave had
shoveled coal all winter, but he had
not thought about coal except as
something to be shoveled and shov-
eled. And as 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 a sense Of the
dignity Of his calling. He had had to
do with this wonderful substance all
winter, and not until tonight had it
fred the divine spark of his magma
ton. The time licked on, and although
he was eager to be at work he almost
dreaded the moment when Mr.. Duncan
should mention his lesson. But be-
fore that moment came there was
ripple Of laughter at the door, and
girl in tennis costume and young
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 a glance as Dave might give a
horse when he would say, "A good
horse, but can handle him." 1t 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

that would not fail him in the strain
of after life, and when a conclusion
had been agreed upon it was Mr.. Dun
cans habit to embody it in a copy for
Dawes writing lesson.
AS soon as Dave had learned to read
a little Mr.. Duncan took him one day
to the public library, and the young
man CROPPED in amazement up and
down the great rows Of books. Pres
emily strange sense of inadequate
ness came over him. II can never
read all of those books, nor half Of
Them" he said. II suppose one must
read them in order to be well in
formed"
Mr.. Duncan appeared to change the
subject. You like fruit?" he asked.
Eyes, of course. Why"
"When you 60 into a fruit store do
you stand and say, 4 can never eat
all Of that fruit, crates and crates Of
it, and carloads more in the ware
houseY OF course you don't. You
eat enough for the good of your sys-

and no more. The trouble with many
Of our people is that they do not read

Dawes talks with Mr. Duncan be-
came almost nightly occurrences, ell
Their at the Duncan home or when he
drove the family-for the master of
the house often accompanied them
or when they met downtown, as fire.
Quently happened. And the boy was
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 well-developed life.
The climax seemed to be reached
when Mr.. Duncan invited Dave to ac-
company him to dinner at which a
noted thinker. just crossing the con-
tinent, had consented to speak.
ut will be evening Dress" said Mr..
Duncan. Il suppose you are hardly
fitted out that wayY'
II guess not" said Dave, smiling
broadly. He recalled the half-humor-
Gus sarcasm with which the Metford
gang referred to any who might be
seen abroad in their Hereford
fronts" He had sudden vision of
himself running the gantlet Of their
ridicule.
But Mr.. Duncan was continuing.
II think l can fix you up" he said.
1--WE must be pretty nearly Of size,
and l have spare suit" And almost
before he knew it it 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-
seriousness and give him a sense of ca.
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 nows?-return
suggestions. And he was made to
think, think, think.
