MANUAL LABOR

1t has been noted in the cities
where unemployed men have resorted,
that many of them are not willing TO
take up the heavier tasks. That atti-
ture gives the impression that he is
not very anxious TO work, and the
public may not have much sympathy
for him. Still there are many men
who have always worked indoors, who
would be physically unable to work
in the fields or dig in the dirt.
1t is an unfortunate thing that the
indoor worker loses the physical abil-
ty TO do active FORMS of manual la
Dor. The strong and vigorous me-
chanic, who in times of dull times in
the factories, is willing to take hold
at any kind Of job, has a resource
that will tide him over many periods
of business depression. He commands
warm respect for his willingness to
take hold Of anything. 1t is exceed
ingly desirable that people should so
far as possible retain this ability to
do hard work. 1t keeps them young
and it promotes good physical condi-
ton.
A great many office and indoor
workers would be far better off if
they would make more effort to per-
form manual tasks. Those who make
it their habit to NOW their own lawns,
who dig in their gardens and the like,
not merely save considerable expense,
and raise some valuable food pro-
ducts, but they have kept themselves
from physical decay.
The business man who feels that
he must turn over to some laborer the
hard work about his place, may save
few minutes Of his valuable day
But he is giving up the habit Of phys
ical activity that is worth more to
him than the little time he has saved
Man was made to labor with his
hands in the open air. Those who
entirely give up the habit, drift away
from the life that nature intended for
them. Sooner or later they pay a
penalty therefor.-St. Johns News.

four times daily as the tides OF the

movement is most pronounced in the
part nearest the river. The move

CHAPTER X.
The stonIno.


Never before since he had taken up
his work of redemption had Philip
MacCauley found the hours so long
and SO difficult to live through. Day
after day he canoed to the place Tony
had promised to meet him. only to re-
turn to ithaca more at sea than ever.
He had the sickening idea that the
girl he had grown to love was again
in the clutches of her brute Of q fa-
ther and Reginald Brown.
Tony, too, began to lose the high
spirits that had returned almost i'm
mediately after her escape from the
canal boat. The gray eyes grew dark
ly circled, the lovely mouth seemed to
have lost the power to smile.
Paul Pendlehaven noted all this with
apprehension. he questioned the girl
time after time. asking her If she felt
well, If there was anything she wanted,
but she always replied in the negative.
One day after they had had their
dinner. he sat looking at her curiously.
She was close to the window reading
a book, when he caused her to look up
by calling her name.

went on, land tell my brother to come

honey?"
The girl rose. laying aside her book.
She dreaded venturing into Mrs. Cur
tis' presence and shivered when she
remembered the critical Katherine who
looked her over with supercilious tole-
ration whenever they happened to
meet. But she made no complaint and
went slowly downstairs
The dining room door was closed. but
the sound Of voices from within told
her the family was at dinner. She
opened the door slowly and stepped
inside. For one moment her vision
was obscured by the fright that sud-
denly took possession Of her. As the
blur cleared from her eyes, she saw
John Pendlehaven smiling at her. Then
a sharp ejaculation from some one else
swung her gaze from the DOCTORS face.

Meanwhile Tonnibel ooked up with
inquiring eyes as DR.. Pendlehaven
walked in. He had closed Philip on
the outside of the coor.
The girl gave him slight smile.
The doctor came forward and took
hold of her hand.

away, but Tony turned to the bed.

I'm back to you"
For many minutes after the car
started Philip paid strict attention to
his driving, and Tonnibel allowed her
self the luxury of taking a sidelOng

within sight Of Beebe Lake, Captain
MacCauley slowed down and stopped.

suddenly.

that moment like a vanished burden.
He had said she was his little girl.

Philip. "And this time-Oh, Tony,
