a cause Is nothing but a rocR thrown
into a pond Of infinlty, and the ripple
that Is ITS effect keeps growing and
growing forever.
The little incident that Is the real
beginning Of this story was Of no
more Importance than a pebble thrown
into the snow-water pond; but its ef-
feet was to remove the life Of Dan
Failing, since grown up, far out Of
the realms Of the ordinary.
And that brings all matters down
to 1919, 10 the last days of q particu-
larly sleepy summer You would hard
ly know Gltcheapolis now. The busi-
ness district has increased tenfold.
And the place where used to be the
pool and the playground Of Dan Fall
ing is now laid Off in as green and
pretty a city park as one could wish
to see.
Some day, when the city becomes
more prosperous, pair Of swans and
a herd of deer are going to be intro
duced. to restore some Of the natural
wild life of the park. But In the sum-
mer Of 1919, few small birds and
possibly half a dozen pairs Of squir-
rels were the extent and limit OF the
wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens, one of these squir-
rels wns perched on a wide-spreading
limb Overarching gravel pnth that
slanted through the sunlit park. The
squirrel was hungry. He wished that
some one would come along with q
nut
There was bench beneath the tree.
1t there had not been, the life Of Dan
Failing would have been entirely diff
ferent. II the squirrel had been on
any other tree, II he hadn't been
hungry, II any one Of dozen other
things hadn't been as they we're, Dan
Failing would have never gone back
to the land Of his people. The little
bushy-tailed fellow on the tree limb

because Of the exceeding spareness of
his frame. AS long as he remained
In the crowd, he wasn't important

straightway found himself alone.

He could even hear the leaves whisk.

man can discern this, he can hear the
cushions of a mountain lion on q trail
at night. OF course Dan Failing had
never heard a mountain lion. Except
on the railroad tracks between, he
had never really been away from
cities IN his life.
At once his thought went back to
the doctors words. They were still
repeating themselves over and over
In his ears, and the doctors face was
still before his eyes. 1t had been a
kind face; the lips had even curled in
little smile Of encouragement. But
the doctor had been perfectly frank,
entirely straightforward. There had
been no evasion in his verdict.
"rve made every test" he said.
