He looked around expression of and embarrass
ment clouded his face. 1t was the woman:
Well he felt like that man

Well he felt like that man.
A woman across the street held his
attention. She wore a long dark
coat, her eyes were wild, her brown
skin was wrinkled over sunken
cheeks. Furtively she accosted pas
sersby. He saw that she was beg
ging. Not with pity did he regard
her; but with strange contempt
that the strong have for the weak.
Yet strong as was his contempt, al
most hatred, for this unknown wo-
man, he waited, interestedly watch
ing her game.
A car drove by with two white
men - both big business men. His
associates during business hours; but
as social associates? He wondered.
Tt car had turned around and was
drawing up at the curb.
"Hey there, Manners" they called
him to their car. Jump in, we are
having little party tonight" he
winked at John. There's an extra
girl. Come on, We'll see what kind
of picker Bob is" he nudged his
companion and laughed.
John was rather surprised. I'm
sorry I can't join you, but I have
an engagement. I'm waiting here for
someone"
Were sorry too, because we are
going to have a good time" Their
car buzzed off. He returned to his
former place with frown of annoy
ance. OF course they would ask him
on that kind of a party. The girls
were probably colored anyway.
Again he thought of the beggar
woman. His eyes sought her out
But she was gone, and he was
strangely disappointed.
Someone touched his arm. He
looked around. An expression OF
anger and embarrassment clouded his
face. 1t was the woman. She die
not speak at first. Perhaps his ex-
preston held her back. please sir,
she held out her hands, ut is not fol
myself but two helpless children
An old story he thought as he gruf1ly
told her that he had no money. She
stood for a moment with look OF
disbelief in her starved eyes; Their
without warning she slipped a piece
of paper into his hand and was gone
He stood gaping foolishly after her
Instinetively, he looked around to see

IF anyone, saw the act. Then he
opened the folded slip OF paper. He
read three words, Sacrifices of SUE
cess" His puzzled expression again
changed to anger. What did the
woman mean - why had she singled
him out? With an impatient ges-
ture he crushed the paper and would
have thrown it away; but instead he
thrust it into his pocket. He started
down the street amid the rushing

| and noise - the noise of Harlem at
play. Yet, strangely and at the most
inopportune times the phrase Sac
riflces of success" would boldly break
in upon his incoherent thoughts.
Damn that woman" he muttered
to himself, 'if I were a weaker man
my evening would probably be ruin
ed" A satisfied smile wreathed his
lips as he thought of the absurdity
of one Of his power and strength
being touched by such a senseleSs
phrase. Yet as he masterfully strobe
along, his hand involuntarily reach
ed for the slip of paper. He thought
of his fierce struggle for success and
wondered why the phrase should
haunt him. His fight had been clean
and honest. He had never been &C
cused of violating the least of the
codes of business ethics. He had
not pushed anyone off the top, he
had merely demanded that people
move over and make room for him.
There were some that the accusa-
ton of unfair competition might
touch; but not him.
Again he reached for the paper.
Suddenly there were shouts and
screams. Too late he realized that
they we're directed at him. A terrific
grinding of brakes, skid of wheels,
muffled curses, then a flash of pain
and darkness.
He awoke in dimly lighted room.
He recalled this old-fashioned living
room of the Reverend Loomis. A boy
and girl were sitting on the daven-
port. Lovers they were, talking in
low tense tones. But even in the
soft, mellow dimness of the room the
boys face was set and serious. A
struggle was going on within his soul
that soft caresses and shy kisses
could not conquer. He Strengthened
suddenly, Martha, I'm going" he
announced with finality, his face sci
determinedly.
ooh, John, you can't do it."
He had it planned. Eyes dear,
his tone softened. There was nc
need to be so hard. His mind was
made up. Il must go. 1t is for your
future as well as mine. If I stay
here - a job as waiter, bootblack OF
porter. In New York. there is at
! least chance for bigger things" A

Preserve for Early Autumn
By MILDRED A. HILL

Late fruits and vegetables lend
themselves to many delicious jams
and preserves. Here are two recipes
which call for inexpensive vegetables.
incidentally, sugar is also selling at
price about as low as it has in a
generation; so you have an unusual
opportunity to put up liberal quanti-
ties of these preserves at little cost.
Pumpkin Preserves
Remove the rind and seeds from a
small pumpkin and cut the flesh in
inch cubes. Cook in small amount
of water until tender. Drain and
weigh. For each pound Of pumpkin
allow l pound of sugar, 2 lemons, and
2 ounces of ginger root. Slice the
lemon and soak with the ginger over
night in cold water. Next morning
cook in same water until the lemon
rind is tender. Add the sugar and
the pumpkin, and simmer until the
pumpkin is transparent. Drain and
pack in jars. Cook syrup until it is
thick and pour over the fruit in the
jars. Seal tightly.
Tomato Preserves
Weigh small, half-ripe tomatoes
and allow y pound sugar and lemon
to each pound of tomatoes. Slice the
lemons thin and cook in water to
cover until the skin is tender. Strain
off the water and use with as much
more water as is needed to make y
cup liquid to each pound tomatoes.
Cook with sugar five minutes. Add
the tomatoes and slices of lemon, and
cook until the tomatoes are transpar-
ent. Skim fruit into jars; boil the
syrup until thick and pour over fruit.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY
PROGRAMME

MEXICO CITY-The Department
Of Communications and Public
Works announces the resumption Of
work under full steam in carrying
out the government highway con-
struction programme, following the
Easter vacations.
No preferential treatment will be
accorded to any State Or Ctsttjct
unless these, in a practical manner,
cooperate in the construction of
the highways designed to serve their
respective regions. The Department
reports that several Districts, both
on the Pan-American and the
Transcontinental routes, have dem
onstrated their interest in these un-
dertakings by voluntarily appropri-
ating sums of considerable magni-
tude toward them in order that their
particular units may be rushed to
early completion. In all such cases
the National Highway Commission
has arranged for the immediate in
version of the remaining sums re-
quired, work on such stretches of
road being pushed with extra speed.

not my kind, I need something tanner
I've got it.
She played, unhappily, for half an
hour. Why should other people be
happy and she unhappy? For Lesson
would be happy, despite the thoughts
which she had read. He would forget
the memory of Lucy in the reality OF
Elsie. :. Heigh-ho! :.
"The Breakers is on fire." she heard
the croupier say. "Your 1uck's bad
anyway. Better not buy more chips
Mrs. Stevens. Look at the fire."
AS she came abreast of the bathing-
casino, she gaSped in sheer delighted
amazement. For the flames were
shooting up into the air, seemingly
hundreds of feet, illuminating the
whole vast building. Vesuvius in
eruption could hardly be more beaNti-
tul, more awe-inspiring
No one cried, no one seemed sad.
That was the marvellous thing a.bout
the catastrophe. In few other rlaces
in the world could people have faced
disaster so philosophically. But these
were of the nations wealthiest. Their
losses would not be crippling. Even
the hotel company would lose nothing.
1t could sell the land on which the
Breakers stood, for ten times the
original cost of land and buildings
combined.
The sun, setting over Lake Worth,
suddenly shone through the flames, a
FURNISHED, angry orange disk. Tha

found herself suddenly in the midst o4

Clary was among them.
aren't you proud of Tim?" the
plump natron asked.
He seems to be good business

Business? I'm not thinking of busSs
ness! look at him, my dear!' cried
Mrs. Clary.
Look at him? Where is he?" asked
Lucy.
Hes been everywhere; just now
he's on that roof-see?"
Lucy looked. Upon the cottage adj.
joining the north wing of the breakers
crouched men; white cloths, doubtlest
water-soaked, covered their heads;
they played streams of water upon this
building to whose roof they clung.
They fought the fire as one might fight
the living assault of savages.
She had advanced nearer now; shd
could pick him out of the others ON
the roof, by his cat-like agility as he
moved about Oh, my God why ddn't
he come down? What right had he

men to take chances. Some one had

from the way he held his face close
to Tim, as if he were whispering, but
Lucy correctly guessed that he was
at the top Of his lungs. In
no other way could he be heard above
the roar of the flames.
She bumped into Lesson and Elsie
Darragh. The girl was flushed with
excitement, and Lesson was hardly
ess aroused. He showed a magnani-
nifty Of which she had not believed
him capable. (Though why should
she have judged him harshly?)

"Why Of course not" she re
piled.
The judge opened proceedings. Mad
dox, called and sworn, testified tina
he, acting upon the request of Clemen
Clary, who had told him he had reason
to believe that violence would be Of
fered his peaceful gang of 1aborers BY
the defendant, had, with half a dozer
deputies, gone to Seminole Creek
There two Of his deputies had been as
sau1ted by the defendant, Timothy
Stevens, who had later threatened
Maddox with a revolver. He had put
Stevens under arrest, but the de
fendant had resisted restraint.
Two of his deputy marshals were
called and corroborated his testimony
Then Stevens took the stand. Duly
sworn, he began his story.
MADDOX may tell the truth, youi
Honor, when he says that Clary stated
he expected trouble. The truth of the
matter is that I never dreamed of such
action until my wife came to me al
Mango Key, several miles from the
bridge over Seminole Creek, and in
formed me that she had learned of the
proposed assault upon my property
rights. Naturally, it being a matter
of vital Importance that the bridges
be left standing, I, with my wife and
DR.. Fergus Faunce, went by boat to
the bridge in question.
"I threw couple of men off the
bridge, and challenged Maddox and
his gang to take me. He said that he
was an officer of the 1aw,-I think that
he called himself sheriff, which was
an untrue statement,-but | felt that
he was not enforcing justice and re-
fused to yield to arrest. The man is
truthful enough, so far as he goes,
your Honor, but he doesn't go far
enough. l do not believe that he was
bribed by Mr.. Clary, but l have rea-
son to believe that he owns certain
acreage adjoining what was, until this
morning, the Clary properties, and be-
lieved that the value of his holdings
would be enhanced by the destruction
of my bridges. You might ask him,
your Honor, if my surmise is correct"
Maddox admitted the truth of the
surmise, reluctantly. The man was
stubborn; Clary had tried to call him
off, and now he began to regret his
stubbornness. He regretted it still
more when Devil-May-Care took the
stand. For she not only corroborated
her husbands testimony, but remarked
that twenty men had shown an ex-
ceeding reluctance to attack two,
which statement brought laugh from
the crowded courtroom.
. That ended the rather flat proceed
ings; the judge reprimanded Maddox
for too Jealous conduct and discharged
Stevens.
Through the press Tim guided his
wife; the pressure of his hands
either was big enough to inclose her
strangely pleasant upon
her flesh. She was seeing, she thought,
a new Tim, a Tim that had never
existed in the days when she had
mocked him. derided him.
Much obliged, Lucy" he said, as
they gained the street
He bowed, turned on his heel, and
left her. She entered her coupe and
drove slowly across the toll-bridge, to
Palm Beach. At Bradley's she turned.
into the courtyard, parked her car,
and entered the Casino.
Gambling seemed indicated. She
wanted something to restore that wild |
uncertainty of racing blood that had
been hers last night when she started
from the Everglades Club; that had
been hers half an hour ago in the
street before the courthouse.

THE QUIET LIFE

he QO1E1 LIZ L
Written about the year 1000
By WILLIAM Byrd
What pleasure have great princes
More dainty to their choice
Than herdsmen wild, who careless
In quiet life rejoice,
And fortunes fate not fearing
Sing sweet in summer morning?
Their dealings plain and rightful,
Are void of all deceit;
They never know how spiteful
It is to kneel and wait
On favorite, presumptuouS,
Whose pride is vain and sumptuous.
All day their f1ocks each tendeth;
At night, they take their rest;
More quiet than who sendeth
His ship unto the East,
Where gold and pearl are plenty:
But getting, very dainty.
For lawyers and their pleading,
They 'Steem 1t not a straw;
They think that honest meaning
Is of itself a law:
Whence conscience judgeth plainly,
They spend no money vainly.
o happy who thus 1iveth
Not caring much for gold;
With clothing which suficeth
To keep him from the cold.
Though poor and plain his diet
Yet merry it is, and quiet.

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION

For the third time the question of the Town of Wrangell issuing bonds in any sum not exceeding S50,000. for the purpose of con structing and equipping a public school building, will be submitted at special election next Tuesday.
 The sentiment in Wrangell is largely in favor of the bonds and there seems to be no question but that they will carry this time, as an increasing number of taxpayers feel that Wrangell's children most cer- tainly are not getting a square deal in the inadequate school facilities provided for them.
 No one knows how the bugaboo started that a bond issue would mortgage all the homes in Wran- gell, and that if payments were not met by the town council each year, homes and businesses would be sold to pay the bonds" A sad condition, and naturally, no one wants his home sold for taxes. But If such a thing is done in Wrangell, it will be unique in the annals of history. In all the many years since bond is- sues have been generally accepted throughout the length and breadth of the land, as the best method of financing all public enterprises, not one person has ever had his property sold for taxes to pay for retiring bonds.
 Juneau, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Sitka, Seward, Anchorage, and Cor dova have all financed the building of their new school houses by issu- ing bonds.
 All of these towns are prospering. Not one of them would go back to poorer schools for their children, but are looking ahead for even bet ter facilities. Wrangell will with out doubt go to the polls next Tues day and vote for the interests of it's children, as other towns have voted for the interests of their children.
