TN one corner of the library was

next half-hour Jefferies made a
minute examination of the papers
that it contained. He did this
quietly and systematically, going
over everything by the light of
his torch, and putting every
paper back Where he had found
it. The poker, all the time, lay
ready to his hand.
After half-an-hour's search he
had found nothing of any sig

plentiful. 1t was evident that

to the right, a few yards from
the library door, was a wide

ascend the stairs. He would

Suddenly, as Jefferies was about
to go down the stairs to resume
his explorations, a curious, harsh,
cracking sound burst upon his
ears. 1t came from a room just
behind him, and it came with
swiftness that was disconcerting.
Jefferies turned quickly, and for

THE SIXTH SENSE

a FAMOUS artist had three pupils.
4 A The first worked hard and long,
earnestly endeayoring to reproduce a
copy Of one of his masters paintings.
In spite of all his efforts he did not
achieve success. He was only copy
list, an imitator. The second pupil en-
deavored to attain success by studying
the technique of his art. He listened
to great lectures. He read all the liter
allure he could find upon the subject of
his art. There was not great art
gallery that he did not visit. He could
easily identify the works of the mas
tiers. He was splendidly educated in
the science of his subject, but he never
learned to paint. He could rise no
higher than a third-rate artist. The
third pupil did all that the other two
achieved, but went one step further.
He daily sought for opportunities
when he could associate with his mas
ter and teacher. He studied every
movement of his brush. He worked
with him long enough to have caught
his spirit. He was rewarded by be-
ing able to paint with the same skill be-
cause he painted with the same spirit.
The spirit of the teacher reproduced
itself in the works of the pupil.
The person who succeeds In life is
the one who can interpret to others
the spirit of his task. 1t is true In
the commercial world as 1t is true In
the world of the arts and sciences,
that the man who would rise in the
ranks of toilers Is he who is more than
q mere imitator or an abstract Ideal
list. To convince another of the sal
ability of an article of merchandise
one must have for sale something
more than the article itself. He must
impart that invisible something" that
convinces and impells, and persuades
the name "to be written on the dotted
line" This invisible something might
be called the sixth sense for through
it there is disclosed to another what
is impossible through any of the other
five senses The elements which made
up personality are invincible. The per-
son who does not give himself through
his works fails The unreal-imitation
and pretenae-is shuffled off In the
struggle. 1t can go just so far and
no further. 1t can never reach the
summit heights of success. Only the
REAL can do that.
