CHAPTER u.

Cardigan'S son, whom he called Bryce.

pie. A Mrs. Tully, widow of Cardi-
gan's first engineer In the mill, was
engaged rs housekeeper and cook; and
with his domestic establishment re-
organized along these simple lines.
John Cardigan turned with added
eageruesS to his business affairs. hop
ing between them and his boy to
salvage as much as possible from
what seemed to him, in the first pangs
OF his loneliness and desolation, the
wreckage of his life.
While Bryce was In swaddling
clothes he was known only to those
females OF Sequoia to whom his half
breed foster mother proudly exhibited
him when taking him abroad for an
airing in his perambulator. With his
advent into rOmpers, however. and the
assumption of his American preroga-
tive OF free speech, his father develop
ed the habit Of bringing the child
down to the mill office, to which he
added a playroom that connected with
his pcivate Office. Hence. prior to his
second birthday, Bryce OWNED that
his father was closer to him than
mOt,ierly Mrs. Tully or the half-breed
girl. Moreover, his father took him on
wonderful journeys which no other
memDer of the household had even
suggested.
OF all their adventures together,
however, those which occurred on their
frequent excursions up to the Valley
of the Giants impressed themselves
imycrishably upon Bryce's memory.
How well he remembered their first
trip. when, seated astride his fathers
shoulders with his sturdy little legs
around Cardigan's neck and his chubby
little hands clasping the old mans
can, they had gone up the abandon
ed xikid-rcad and into the semi-dark-
ness Of the forest. terminating sud-
denly in d shower Of" sunshine that

could roll and play and never get
dirty. Bryce looked forward with
seserhess to those frequent trips with
hiS father ito the place where Mother
dear went to heaven"
When Bryce was six years old, his
father sent him to the public school
in Sequoia with the children of his
ioggers and mlll-hands, thus laying
the foundation for a democratic edu-
cotton all too infrequent with the sons
OF men rated as millionaIres. Bryce's
boyhood was much the same as that
OF other lads in Sequoia. save that In

source Of envy to his fellows. After
his tenth year his father placed him
on the mill payroll. and on payday
he was wont TO line up with the mill,
crew to receive his modest stipend of
ten dollars for carrying In kindling to
the cook In the mill kitchen each day
after school.
This otherwise needless arrangement
was old Cardigan's way of teaching

Senator Harding on Farming.

The attitude Of the republican can
didate for president towards the agri-
cultural interests Of the country, at
least his attitude before he became a
candidate, can be seen from the fol-
lowing excerpt from aspeech made in
the senate on July 10, 1917:
II know little something about
farming. l have followed the cardle,
senator's, with the rake when wheat
sold for 40 cents bushel. That was
in the day when farming was some
thing Of a contest for subsistence. In
this latter day farming has become
an occupation for profit. and l happen
to know that, under normal condi-
lions. dollar wheat makes a very
profitable occupation. perhaps not to
the farmer who farms the farmer, but
it is to the farmer who farms the

WHY is A SEPARATOR?
The Wood Pieces That Separate the

Lean 1'EatfS OF storage battery
Should BE Understood.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Green

separators of storage battery plates.
People seem to think" he said,
that separators have several myster.-
GUS functions to perform it the pro-
duction of current. This is a mistake
They have but one function, and that
is to separate the positive and mega
tive plates of battery.
"Separators must be substantial
enough to hold the plates apart SO
that there will be no possibility of
short-circuiting during charge or dis
charge, and at the same time they
or diffusion of electrolyte within the
cells as possible-just as little resist
ance to the passage of the current
through the cell as possible.
ANY electrical novice must know
that resistance to the passage of cur
rent cuts down the efficiency of
battery. The least possible resistance
is offered by specially treated wood
separators. In this particular case of
the Prest-O-Lite battery separators
made of certain wood are treated by
special process which not only gives
them this indispensable property OF
least resistance but also renders them
SO impervious to any carbonizing eff
feet of the electrolyte that it is be-
lieved that the ideal medium has been
reached"
