Riordan did not really wish to ask
any questions or elicit any comment
on the supreme achievement. OF all
men in the world, he was best fitted
to appreciate that achievement. He
never knew how much of it he had
heard from Mrs. Dauncey, or how
much his own inner knowledge, his
sense OF the inevitable, had supplied.
Suddenly Mrs. Fraser spoke, in her
apologetic 1uttering voice: Len and
Hal are friends, you see."
Riordan waited, wondering what
was to come.
"And I always said to Lenny, 7
don't care what you do, you can al
ways come and tell me about 1t.
I don't care what it is.' I said to
him, You can quit going to church,
and you can gamble on horse races
and-and you can dance with girls
at cabarets'-her voice faltered-'but
you can always come and tell
me about 1t. And won't be ashamed
of you. But don't you ever come
to me, Lenny Fraser, and tell me
you've gone back on a friend"
She lifted her head and looked al
Riordan. And from her meek, fool
ish face looked for one moment the
spirit Of the race. For one moment
he read there a mysterious wisdom,
a passive invulnerable strength be-
side which he felt his own strength
as a breath of wind. for hers was
rooted in eternity. Then the revelation
was gone.

him monstrously with great dream

Fraser had fred the cabin. Unless
they found the fort, there was now
no refuge for any of them.

heads. their folded bands of gray
hair, bent together over the embroid-
cry. He looked round the psrlor.
Everything, was just as it had been;
the inept furniture, the foolish orna-
ments. the muffied windows. the
veiled lights, and the inept, foolish,
muffied bodies of the old women.
He said abruptly, How did he do
it?"
Mrs Dauncey's lips moved. She
was counting stitches for Mrs. Lane

he had spoken, so intent were they
on the embroidery. And, after all,

estimated.
why do clerks come to work half
an hour early? What makes almost
all of the $4,000 government employees
in Washington punctual every day?
Prompt arrival of department
heads brings clerks to work on time"
Robert S. Regar, chief clerk of the
Post ONCE department, believes.
"An employe dislikes having his
chief see him arrive late twice as
much as he minds having watchmen
or fellow workers note his laxity.
So, If he knows the chief will be at
work at 8 am, he will be twice as
likely to be there at 9 o'clock, too.
Besides, rules are obeyed better If
they apply to chief and clerk alike.
Ambitious workers like to be ton
the job when the boss arrives. so a
chiefs promptness causes early ar
rivals. Punctuality begins in depart

Regar and his own department fur
