CHAPTER vi.

Ordinarily Mr.. Cullen was satisfied
to bring a single evening paper home
with him and when he laid it on the
hall table it was generally creased
down the financial page; but tonight
he brought two, and each of them had
wrinkles across the market reports
and were folded so as to feature the
departments devoted to local news.
The Journal had beaten the Herald by
two sticks and a subhead, but the Her
aid had honored Dicky Morgan with
kindly editorial and both papers had
stated explicitly where Hilliard was
making his headquarters. Mr.. Cullen
would have been seriously offended If
he hadn't been mentioned at least once
in each paper; and this Is no more
reflection upon his vanity than the fact
that he cherished lively anticipation
for what the Post-Standard was going
to say about the case tomorrow morn
ing.
Nevertheless, there was a fly in the
Ointment-not very much of fly, to
be sure, but still appreciable; and aft
err all, it isn't the size of the invader
that counts. Mr.. Cullen was generous {;
Mr.. Cullen was hospitable; but Mr..
Cullen was also the tiniest bit of a
snob-nOt a carping, contemptuous
supercilOus snob, but healthy
hearty, open-spirited snob, frank in
his liking for the things he liked-and
one of them was to be somebody, and
have the neighbors know it. He liked
to fraternize with important men; he
liked to see his name in the paper
now and then; he liked to feel superior
Just one harmless little degree more
consequential-than his next-door
neighbor. And the neighbor, of course,
had to share this conviction, or there
wasn't any purpose in 1t.
And Mr. Cullen, with all his ingenu-
Gus weakness for prominence hadn't
known until the evening papers told
him so, hadn't even suspected (al-
though now he was trying busily to
persuade himself that he had suspect
ed it all along from one thing and an
Other) that his guest was a mining en-
gineer of international reputation, and
independently wealthy to boot. 1t was
enough to discomfit any host It was
enough to annoy any man, whether
average or not. who prided himself
(and most of us do) that he had UNI
usual discernment, and was Good
Judge of Human Nature. And so, when
he met billiard and Angela at the
head of the garden he began to fire
away polntb.ank at billiard; and this
was barely after the greetings, and a

a brace of fortnights. 1t was well,
however, to be prepared; and the time
to plant the seed of desire is when the
prospect is willing.
mighty interesting game-mining,
said Cullen. Lets wander down by
the fountain; shall we? don't
know why it is, but it sort of fas-
cinates me-guess it does everybody.
More romance in 1t than most lines"
Here Angela looked up sharply, and
surgled with wicked satisfaction, and
sent a lifted eyebrow signal across to
Hilliard.
YES" said billiard, "but there's
more tragedy, too. suppose that's
the law of compensation getting to
work. Big profits call for big risks"
This was for sand in Cullen's eyes /;
and 1t had its effect.
ooh, but the ratios the same in al
most any business, Mr.. Hilliard, isn't
It? It's about the same theory. Saw

but they never made a man rich yet.

thing he did is a fact. I'm proud of
him for it-and so far, for that, and
for that only. But 1t isn't true that
by itself alone it made him a hero.
And when l said that I'm interested in

and that any physical bravery he may
have shown has nothing whatsoever

thing Dick did; it's neither fitting nor
possible. But what we want to know
is where the credit lies-with Dick, a
reasoning, inspired, determined man,
or with Dick, intoxicated by danger.
In the latter case, his heroism would
appeal to us as a detached incident,

"Yes?" The doctor sat down abrupt

"And afterward, Mr.. Hilliard."
Rather than how he was hurt, let
me assure you that as far as l know,
from the first day he landed, l don't
believe he thought once about his own
misfortunes. He had them, l know.
But if you've got any manhood in you,
you can't think of your own troubles,
over there. It's too fearful. The Car
rel-Dakin solution heals all sorts of
wounds, Doctor Durant, all but the
worst wound of all-and that's what
every man who has any humanity and
any sympathy about him gets when he
first sees France. His heart is torn

can hardly live with his own thoughts.

Home Demonstration Club Cleans Up

The Home Demonstration Club OF
Lewisburg early in June put on Q
campaign to clean up the town. A
committee was appointed by the
president of the club to make plans
for the campaign. 1t was given nee
essary publicity, the cooperation of
the city officials was obtained and a
suitable dumping place located. Cap
tains were appointed for each block
in the town, the captains duty being
to see that every one in the block
knew when the city truck, which was
furnished free, would be there. The
day that the truck would start was
announced and all rubbish was placed
at the edge of the street in front of
each home where the truck could
gather it up without loss of time.
The club furnished helper for load
ing and hauling which continued for
two and three-fourths days. One
hundred loads of rubbish were
hauled away to the dump and the
cost to the club was $6.S5. This is a
fine piece of work and other home
demonstration clubs looking for some
way to serve their community would
