While Marsh was in France 1t was
net necessary for his mother to re-
ceive War Department bulletins tell
ing of his movements or narrow es-
capes from death. Miss Marsh claims
that while Clarence was overseas she
had nightly dreams of her brothers
movements and escapes from death.
This remarkable bond of, sympathy
has been demonstrated hundreds Of
times. Recently while Marsh was q
patient at the University OF Mary
land Hospital he was put under an
anssthetic. His sister, sixty miles
away. became i'll and is said to have
exhibited the same symptoms Of
nausea and fever as those felt by her
brother while he was in the hospital.
Mr.. Marsh said the similarity of na-
ture had accompanied them through
their lives.

In speaking of this similarity. Mrs.
Marsh, mother of the twins. said that
several months ago her daughter had
a hemorrhage, her nose bleeding pro-
fusely. She said several days later
she heard from her son, saying that
his nose bled on tho same day that
the sister suffered from the hemor-
rhage.
When quite young the twins had
attacks Of measles and whooping
cough at the same hour and on the
same day. Mrs. Marsh declared that
IL the daughter had a severe cold.
the son also suffered from the incon-
venience Of the ailment.
Even in their religious preferences
the same strange relationship of ma
lures has been evident. The Marsh
family are members of the Reformed
Church. Several years ago Marsh de-
cided to go into the Baptist Church.
and before he had announced his
change of creed to his sister she came
to him and told him that she intended
to Join the same church.
ILL ON SAME DAY.
While Clarence was at the Peddie

CHAPTER WI.


David Elden smoked his after-dinner
cigar in his bachelor quarters. The
years had been good to the firm Of
Coward x Eden; good far beyond
the wildness of their first dreams The
transaction OF the section bought from
the English absentee had been bat the
beginning of bigger and more daring
adventures. Coward, in that first
wild prophecy of his, had spoken of a
city of a quarter of a million people /;
already more lots had been sold than
could be occupied by four times that
population.
Dave had often asked himself where
II all would end.
The firm OF Coward 4 Eden had
prOfted not the least In the wild years
of gain-getting. Their mahogany-fin-
ished first-Aoor quarters were the last
word in office luxuriance. Conward's
private room might with credit have
housed premier or a president. Its
purpose was to be Impressive rather
than TO give any other service, as Con-
ward spent little Of his time there. On
Dave fell the responsibility OF Office
management, and his room was fitted
fol efficiency rather than luxury. IL
The Yale expositor., 1920-02-19
CHAPTER Vi-Continued.

During the following days Dave had
keener eye than usual for evidences
of industrial development" He found
them on every hand. Old properties,
long considered unstable, were chang
ing owners. Money moved easily ;
wages were stiffening; tradesmen
were in demand. There was material
for many good stories in his investiga-
tons. He began writing features on
the city's prosperity and prospects.
The rival paper did the same and there
was soon started between them com
petition OF optimism. The great word
became boost" The virus was now
in the veins of the community, pulsing
through every street and byway of the
little city. Dave marveled, and won
dered how he had failed to read these
signs until Coward had laid their pOr-
tent bare before him. But as yet 1t
was only his news sense that respond
ed; his delight in the strange and the
sensational. He was not yet inoculated
with the poison of easy wealth.
His nights were busy with his inves-
LEGATIONS, but on Sunday. as usual, he
went out TO the Duncans'. Mrs. Dun
can explained that Edith had gone to
visit n girl friend in the country /;
would be gone away for some time.
Dave felt foolish annoyance that she
should have left town. She might at
least have called him up. Why should
she call him up? OF course not? Still,
the town was very empty. He drove
with Mrs. Duncan in the afternoon.
and at night took long walk by the
river. He had vague but oppressive
sense OF loneliness. He had not real
lied what part of his life these Sunday
afternoons with Edith had come to be.
A few days later Coward strOlled
in, with the inevitable cigarette. He
smoked In silence until Dave cOmplet-
ed a story.
Good stuff you're giving u.s." he
commented. when the article was fin
ished. Remember what l told you the
other day? It's just like putting a
match to finder. Now we're Off"
Coward smoked a few minutes in
silence, but Dave could not fail TO see
the excitement under his calm exterior.
He had, as he said, decided to "sit'' in
in the biggest game ever played. The
intoxication of sudden wealth had al
ready fired his blood.
He slipped bill to Dave. For your
services in that, little transaction" he
explained.
Elden held the bill in his fingers
gingerly, as though it might carry in
lection, as in very truth it did. He
realized that he stood at turning
pOint-that everything the future held
for him might rest on his present deci-
sion. There remained in him not a lit
tie OF the fine, stern honor Of the
ranchman OF the open range an honor
