CHAPTER "

When he let himself go, Wallace
Withers was an eloquent man. He
loved to hear his own voice editori-
alizing, expounding opinions, setting
the world right.
Now he walked up and down his
sitting-room, talking as he had not
talked in months, his rough hair
standing away from his temples, a
flush coming and going on his wat
tied neck. +
This young fellow, Daniels, from
the Morgan mill, was a fiattering
auditor. Middle-age is always tri-
file flushed and important when youth
condescends to listen. Withers was
painting picture of the pulp bust
ness-of the Morgan pulp business,
as he averred it could be.
Bigger than any of them, tied in
with the big Canadian mills, stacks
and watts in batteries, timber rolling
in, brown pulp going out by the
trainload instead of a single car
now and then.
Dave Morgan was Scotch" he
said. 'sThe Scotch build well, but
have no foresight or imagination.
They want security and they sacri-
fice other things for it. They let

Mistletoe Has Kno,Un
Long, Euentful History

OF all the Christmas green's, the
bestowed, probably, is the mistle-
toe, which likewise has experienced
the most eventful history of all
plants.
In the days of pagan worship in
England the mistletoe was chosen
for great honors, being cut from its
host, the oak tree, with golden axes.
1t was gathered for the people and
a bit given to each person to ward
off illness.
But the plant paid dear for these
honors for when the Christian church
was established it was not allowed
in any church because of its pagan
association, and it is told that
preachers even would stop in their
sermons if a tiny bit were spied and
the service waited until the offending
bit of green was removed.
In later centuries it became again
the symbol of peace and friendship
and has since been tackled on the
doorway as a token of friendly greet
ing.

all the new places, killing off the
Injuns, and then along came your
Scotchman with a wagonload of
goods, for sale, and he took up all
the good half-sections. Then they
married all the good-looking daugh-
tiers of the Irish and tanned them
down to raise sons to fit this coun-
try"
Maybe they married the Irish
girls because. secretly, they wanted
to hear somebody laugh" Daniels
contributed with grin.
Maybe so. Maybe that's why
Dave Morgan married Virgie. Vir-
gle was a handsome woman when
she was young. She's not bad look
ing now"
Rather a fine-looking woman
now" agreed young Daniels.

clared his host. Business is get

drew his upper lip far down, giving
his face little the look of the skull
beneath it.
Daniels laughed trife nervously.
This old geezer had something funny
on his mind, obviously; his dry old
eyes were full of sly secrets, his
knuckles flexed with an involuntary,
crushing movement
well, any young man hates to
see business dragging" he said,
choosing his words carefully. "Espe-
cially when he sees that that bust
ness is standing on its own foot,
making its own troubles. That's
what's wrong with the world now,
Mr.. Withers-the young people have
the ideas and the ambition and the
vision and courage-recklessne /
suppose you would call it-and peo-
pie your age have all the power and
all the money"
Some people," Withers said,
would call you young fool. But
don't. I'm thinking man. Per-
sonally, I'd like to see what you'd
do-running the Morgan mill"
Daniels laughed. That" he said,
would be a grand idea-but just
about as hopeless as most grand
ideas. Mrs. Morgan isn't going to
surrender the control of that mill
to anybody"
Withers did not answer for a mo-
ment. The stove clinked, a mouse
crept out from beneath an old or
gan, gave a bright-eyed, terrified
look about, scurried back again.
"Virgie Morgan don't own all the
stock in that MILL" he said, look
ing straight ahead. There's some
of it loose-and lot of things could
happen. Things might happen so
that more of it could be had She
amt got any considerable reserve,
know that. know how she's fixed.
If trouble was to happen in the mill
or orders fell off, she'd be hard put
to raise the money to carry on"
Stanley Daniels felt sudden
surge of wry distaste. His tongue
tasted of copper, his ears buzzed
family. So this old hick had ideas
in his ratty brain, did he? Trick
stuff, likely. He had suspected it.
Let him pull his own potatoes out
of the fire, then. Daniels felt very
noble and superior as he stood up,
pulled down his coat.
well, this has been very pleas
ant, Mr.. Withers. But I'm a work
ing man. I'd better say good night"
Withers collected his limbs and
scrambled out of the chair.
'But wait minute-you amt 60

iels was smooth, impersonal, in

'Thunder-it's most five miles.
I'll run you down to the main road
anyway. You can walk from there

Air. That was what Stanley DAN
iels felt the need for. His overcoat
on, his hatbrim snapped down, the
door open, he felt honest again. He

OF course his Kitty can say yes in twenty

beefing too much, and he studies the penal
code and even remembers parts of it.
