 "Not my career. Mikes"
 How is home hurting Mikes career?"
 Well" said Joan, "I'd like to buy a house, whereas Mike has a stupid idea that he ."
 Hold everythingl" interrupted Mike. T have antoher ideal"
 'He has another stupid idea, !" Joan amended.
 Wait a minute,' said Mike. "'Wait-Ill be right back. This makes it perfect!"
 "Something," said Joan as he disappeared. like two negatives making positvie. I suppose. But I mustn't complain. Everybody has a cross to bear"
 Mike returned with tray and glasses, tossed another log on the fire, lit cigarette and sat down on the sofa beside McDougall Joan sat on the other side, So yol can give an ear to each of us.' she said, "and if you put cotton in the one on his side you won't be missing anything"
 We have a piece of money" began Mike, learned by the sweat of my brow :"
 "And saved by my strength of mind, don't forget" said Joan.
 |. and saved by my own self denial" continued her hus- band, which is available for two purposes. She wants to buy a house: want to buy future"
 Not a lot of money, you under stand" explained Joan, but enough to pay down on home of our own."
 "And enough to pay down on a future" replied Mike. Have you ever seen the Bobbs Neck Gazette? Nop It's weekly and it's awful. So I want to buy it.
 'But no, sir, she wants the house now, and I'm to stay on a payroll for the rest of my life"
 "I1l grant" said Mike, that there would be a big debt to work of, and I'm betting my work against the burden. But still think I could make 1t pay. It's a matter of public knowledge that 1t used to support two families and do it well, and if I could just struggle and get 1t back over the hill :"
 He drowned at the fire.
 Don't think I don't sympathize with the ambition" said Joan, more earnestly than McDougall had ever heard her speak. Its just the size of the mortgage that staggers me. don't want you growing gray under debt. But what was the new idea you mentioned a while ago?"
 "Oh, that was to hire some high- priced talent" replied Mike, grim ming bit ruefully. "It just oc- cured to me that Bruce here could attend the villages biggest event each week and do 1t in sketches-a half page or so. His daily stuff is getting to be known

started before anything else hap" pens to me-"
 Walking home, in the cold star light of o'clock in the morning, McDougall suddenly stopped in his tracks and laughed.
 "A few weeks ago I came to town and settled down to new job" he told himself, land thought I had started on enough of the future to keep me busy for long while. Three hours ago walked chat and come out with another into the Bradford's house for chunk of the future to be wrestled with. It's little faster pace than I've been used to = but I like 1t. Anything can happen now"
 His way led past the foot of hill up which a road disappeared in the darkness of night and many trees. He knew that road, and the site at the crest of the hill. Half an acre. Once it had been a spot to build 8 hope on.
 But now," grinned McDougall, daring the dream to come back, having spent my money, there's none left for real estate anyway"

 native of Voorhout. near Ley- den, Holland, studied to become a clergyman. He was born in 1863, and by the time he was p he was a doctor of philosophy, well versed in ancient languages, ecclesiastical history, and mathe- matics.
 But in 1890, the young theo- logical scholar veered toward the study of medicine, and, mainly through se1f-education, soon be- came one of the leading physicians in Europe. He introduced many innovations in the practice of medicine and was so highly re- spected that royalty travelled to Leyden, to consult him about their troubles.
