lTO BE CONTINUED,
PROVED BY HAMMER STROKE
Human Character Frequently Welded
Under Blows, Much as Workmen
Weld the Iron.

There are metals which improve in
quality all the time you stamp and
hammer them. Just the same is true
of a man, if he have the true heat In
him, and makes himself master of the
circumstances, instead of slave. Pre-
cisely as you may have seen different
strands of iron wire brought together
in a "bloom." heated red, and struck
and struck under a trip hammer till
they are made one. so all the different
experiences of human life arc fused
and welded in the process of the forma-
ton of character. A mans habits, his
methods of reasoning, his imagination
and memory, his faith, his hope. his
Iove-are blended together in his char
acter. And the hammering becomes no
unimportant part of the process. Ger
tain traits there are which show them
selves all through the pounding. Thus.
all the hammering of an eternity would
not make iron into gold. But very
little hammering will make pig-iron
into wrought iron. If you give it heat
enough; and so hammered, it will bear
very different strain.-E. e. Hale.

OF my uncle Bash had only the
happiest and most grateful memories.
Quite naturally it had occurred to me
at times. and my friends had en-
couraged the idea, that my uncle
would die some day and leave me his
money. There was no particular
reason why he should do so. as he had
never manifested any unusual affec-
ton for me and I had certainly never
done anything for him.
Antoine was at the Barton station
with the touring-car Uncle Bash had
bought to establish communication
with the village. Flynn, the big Irish
man who had been the doorman at the
birmingham for years and retired be-
cause of rheumatism acquired from
long exposure to the elements at the
hostelry's portals, was at the wheel.
Antoine greeted me with that air of
lofty condescension tempered with a
sincere kindness that had made him
prince among head-waiters. AS l
shook hands with him his lips Quivered
and tears came to his eyes.
I babe Antoine join me in the back
seat that he might the more easily
bring me up to date as to affairs on
the estate.

Sir. It was a great shock And he
had looked forward for years to a
quiet life abroad"
Antoine's speech was that of a
| well-trained English upper servant,
and I imagined that in his youth he
had taken some English butler as his
model. He used to pretend that he
| knew French very imperfectly, and 1
was surprised when he now addressed
me quite f1uently in that language.
"You have been with the armies of
dear France" he remarked. "The
war is very dreadful. My parents
were Of Verdun; 1t grieves me to
know of the suffering in the land OF
my people,
AS replied sympathetfcally in
French I saw Flynn straighten him
self at the wheel with an impatient
fling Of his head. Antoine indicated
him with a oontemptuous nod: "Mar-
ried Elsie, the German woman who
worked in the linen-room at the

trouble, and there is a pantry girl,
Gretchen, who was i'll for a long time

her here for the country air. She is
little devil with her dear Father

1 laughed at the old fellows gray
ity and earnestness. That the war
should be making itself felt on the
quiet acres at Barton-on-the-S Sound
was absurd.
I was bordering the recrudescence
of race hatreds due to the upheavaI
in Europe when he startled me by a
statement uttered close tc my ear:
"There have been inquiries for the
widow; these have caused me much
anxiety. 1t seems that there are per-
sons anxious to see her. There have
been inquiries, one-two-three
times"
"Probably some of her American
friends anxious to pay their respects,
or some of the neighbors making calls
