Then up went the gates and off

into a horse car. After while
the horse car began to run through
a long, white-washed cellar, and
father explained Gust as he had
last year and the year before that,
that he could remember when the

After father had bought the tick

got on the train and father and
mother talked for a while, till
father said, with a long breath,
"Well, it might as well be soon as
late" and kissed mother and she
kissed him.
Until Neale was pretty big boy
father always stopped and kissed
him, too. But Neale felt that this
was quite a different sort of kiss,
and he noticed, too, that after it
father always kissed mother again,
and held his cheek for an instant
close to hers. But after this he
always walked right away, quietly,
turning around once or twice to
wave his hat at them, his face as
composed as that of any man in
the crowd coming and going be-

Mother let Neale settle things in

have it down where he could put
his feet on it, arranging his coat

MENACE OF
OVERWORK

T has been cited as one Of
the curiosities of the 'prac-

most in need of the wise coun-
sells Of a GOOD doctor are the
most frequently deprived of that
benefit.
We have in mind particularly
the overworked business man in
the "fifties" with damaged heart
and kidneys. It has been said
that no helpless infant is more in
need OF guidance than he. Alb
sorbed in business and under
standing little or nothing of the
mechanism of his body, he stands
a poor chance of winning the
game Of health, however success
full may be his gamblings in the
Street" If he is piaheade,I
about his methods Of living there
is no hope at all for him; he is
sure to go wrong.
VI course, many men 10 not
seek medical advice although
they know very we'll that things
are not right with their ina
chinery" and deliberately elect to
carry on. 1t Is hard to under
stand this attitude, since in most
instances these men could be
easily set straight upon the road
to health and greater efficiency.
Why should the man VINO pays
regular fees to his attorney for
keeping him out of lawsuits not
have a physician equally skillful
in preventing litigation, as 1t
were, between the cells of the

But after supper, when the
mill was shut down, he used to
saunter out to it, in a long soft
twilight, and then tiptoe down
into the cellar and play uneasily
in the sawdust, casting scared
looks now and then at the shining
senoi-circ1e OF the saw, with its
wicked hooked teeth just over his
head.
One day, as he played thus
about the mill, his destiny came

"Oh, he's always hangin' round.

rode back and forth as Silas fed
the log methodically down on the
saw, and raced it back to set
fresh cut. Silas only nodded with
out speaking. He didn't like
wasting words, and speaking was
mostly wasted when the saw was
screaming, the belts slapping, and
down below was the pound!
pound! pound! Of the mill wheel.
After time Neale went down
to the far end Of the mill where
the fresh sawed boards fell off
from the logs. A new lad he
didn't know was taking away"
He wasn't keeping up with the
work very well, and to help him
Neale picked up a slab and start

But none of them came up to the

around the mill that he spent his
