l Synopsis.—David Elden, son of a 1
drunken, shiftless ranchman, al
most a maverick of the foothills,
is breaking bottles with his pistol
.|| from his running cayuse when the
i} first automobile he has ever seen
arrives and tips over, breaking the
leg of Doctor Hardy but not injur
’ ing his beautiful daughter Irene.
Dave rescues the injured man and
_ brings a. doctor from 40 miles
away. Irene takes charge of the
housekeeping. Dave and Irene get
well acquainted during her enforced
. stay. They part with a kiss and an
implied promise. Dave’s father dies
il ~and Dave goes to town to seek his
| fortune. A man named Conward
Il teaches himshis first lesson in city
ways. Dav® has a narrow escape,
is disgusted and turns over a new
i leaf.

CHAPTER IV—Continued.
o e
Fortunate fate, or whatever good
{ angel it is that sometimes drops un- |
expected favors, designed that young
Elden should the following day deliver
coal at the home of Mr. Mglvin Dun
can. Mr. Duncan, tall, quiet and forty
five, was at work in his garden as
Dave turned the team in the lane and
backed them up the long, narrow drive
connecting with the family coal chute.
As the heavy wagon moved straight
to its ohjective, Mr. Dunecan looked on
with approval that heightened into
admiration. Dave shoveled his load
without remark, but as he stood for
& moment at the finish, wiping the
sweat from his coal-grimed face, Mr.
Duncan engaged him in conversation,
“You handle a team like you were
born to it,” he said. “Where did you
get the knack?” L
“Well, 1 came up on a ranch,” said
Dave. *“l've lived with horses ever
since 1 could remember.”
“You're a rancher, ¢h?" queried the
older man. “Well, there’s nothing like
the range and the open country. If 1
could handle horses like you there
isn’t anything would hold me in town.”
“Oh, 1 don’t know,” Dave answered.
“You might get sick of 'it.” ;
“Did you get sick of it?”
KElden shot a keen glance at him.
The conversation was becoming per
sonal. Yet there was in Mr. Duncan’s
manner a certain kindliness, a certain
.appeal of sincere personality, that dis
armed suspicion. g
“Yes, T got siek'of it,” he said. *I
lived. on that ranch eighteen years
and never was inside schoo! or church.
Wouldn't that make you sick? . . .
So I beat it for town.” o
“And I suppose you are attending
church regularly now, and night
school, too?”
Dave’s quick temper siren up fn re
sentment, but again the kindliness of
the man’s manner disarmed him. He
was silent for a moment, and then he
said:
“No, I ain’t. That's what makes me
sick now. 1 came in here intendin’ to
get an education, an’ I've never got,
sven a start at it, excep' for some
things perhaps wasn’t worik ‘the
money. There always seems to be
somethin’ else—in ahead.”
“There always will be” said Mr.
Duncan, ‘“‘until you start.”
“But how’s it to bhe done?”’ Dave
questioned with returning interest.
“Schools an’ books cost money, an' 1
never save a dollar.” .
“And never will,” said Mr. Duncan,
“until you start. But I think I see a
plan that might help, and if'it appeals
to yeu it will also be a great conven
ience to me. My wife likes to go driv
ing Sundays, and sometimes on a
weekday evening, but I have so many
things on hand I find it hard to get
| out with her. My daughter used to
| drive, but these new-fangled automo
| biles are turning the world upside

week—l used to teach school and
haven’t altogether forgotten — why,
that would be just what 1 want. What
do you say?” ;
“I never saw anything on four feet
I couldn't drive,” said Dave, *“an’ if
you're willing to take a chance I am.
When do we start?’
~ “Pirst lesson tonight. Second les
son Thursday night. First drive Sun

A felt that two nights together would
1 satisfy him whether he had found the

deeply interested in the young man
who was to be her coachman. Dave
‘had never been inwa home like this,
and his eyes, unaccust@ned to com
fortable furnishings, appraised them
as luxury. He soon found himself talk
ing with Mrs. Duncan about horses,
and then about his old life on the
ranch, #nd then about coming to town.
Almost before he knew it he had told |
her about Reenie Hardy, but he had
checped himself in time. And Mrs,
Duncan had noticed it, without com
ment, and realized that her guest wis
not a boy but a man. y
Then Mr. Duncan talked about gar
dening, and from that to Dave’s skill
in backing his team to the coal chute,
and from that to coal itself. Dave had
shoveled coal all winter, but he had
not ' thought about coal except as
something to be shoveled and shov
eled. And as Mr. Duncan explained
to him the wonderful provisions of na
ture—how she had stored away in the
| undiscovered lands billions of tons of
coal, holding them in reserve until the
world’s supply of timber for fuel
should be nearing exhaustion, and as
‘he told of the immeasurable wealth of
this great new land in coal resources,
and of how the wheels of the world,
traffic and industry and science, even,
were dependent wpon coal and the
man-who handled the coal, Dave felt
his breast rising with a sense of the
dignity of his ealling. He had had to
do with this wonderful substance all
winter, and not until tonight had it
fired the divine spark of his imagina
tion. The time ticked on, and although
he was eager to be at work’he almost
dreaded the moment when Mr. Duncan
should mention his lesson. But be
fore that moment came there was a
ripple of laughter at the door, and a
girl in teqnis costume and a young
man a litile older than Dave entered.
“Edith,” said Mrs. Duncan.
Dave arose and shook hands. Then
Mr. Allan Forsyth' was introduced.
Mr. Forsyth shook hands heartily, but
Dave was conscious of being caught in
one quick glance which embraced him
from head to heel. And the glance
was satisfied—self-satisfied. It was
such a glance as Dave might give a
horse when he would say, “A good
horse, but I can handle him.” It was
evident from that glance that Forsyth
had.no fear of rivalry from that quar
ter. And having no fear he could af
ford to be friendly.
Dave had -no distinet’' remembrance
-of what happened just after that, but
he was conscious of an overwhelming
desire to hear Miss Duncan sing. How

How Like Reenie She Wasl '
like Reenie she was! And just as he
was beginning to think Mr. Duncan
must surely have forgotten his lesson
he heard her asking him if she’ should
sing. And then he saw Forsyth at the
piano—why couldn’t he leave her to
do it herself, the butt-in?—and then
he heard her fine, silvery voice rising
in the notes of that song about the
land where the sun should never go
down. . . . And suddeniy he knew
how lonely, how terribly, terribly
lonely he was. Aad he sat with head
bowed, that they might got know. . . .
And then there were other songs,
and at last Mrs. Duncan, who had
slipped away unnoticed, returned with
‘1 a silver teapot and cups of delicate
china, and sandwiches and cake, and
they sat about and ate and drank and
-{ talked and laughed. And when he
looked at his watch it was eleven
o’¢clock! ‘
“] guess we didn’t get any lesson
tonight,” he said as he shook hands
with Mr. Duncan at the sidewalk. ;
' “I am not so sure,” replied his tutor.
| “The first thing for you to learn is
| that all iearning does not come from
| books. A good listener can learn as
much as & good reader—if he listeps
| to the right kind of people.” And as
| Dave walked home the thought deep
| ened in him that it really had been a
| | lesson, and that Mr, Duncan had in
.| tended it that way. And he wondered
| what remarkable fortune had: been his.
.| The air was full of the perfume of
. | balm o’ Gilead. and his feet were light
| with the joy of youth. And he thought
| much of Edith and of Reenie Hardy.

“Dave's writing lesson. '
~ As soon as Dave had learned to read
a little Mr. Duncan took him one day
to the public library, and the young
man groped In. amazement up and
down ‘the great rows of books. Pres:
ently a strange sense of inadequate
ness came over him. *“I can never
read all of those books, nor half of
them,” he said. “I suppose one must
read them in order to be well in
formed.” 2l E
Mr. Duncan appeared to change ‘the
subject.” “You {ike fruit?” he asked.
“Yes, of course. Why—" :
“When you go into a fruit store do
you stand and say, ‘1 can never eat
all of that fruit, crates and crates of’
‘it, and carléads more in the ware
_house? Os course you don’t. You
\ eat enough for the good of your sys
tem and let it go at that. Now just
~apply the same sense to your reading.
Read as much sis you can think about,
~and no more. The trouble with many
of our people is that they do not read
to think but to save themselves the
_trouble of thinking. The mind, left to
itself, insists upon activity. So they
chloroform it.” 1
Dave's talks with Mr. Duncan be
came almost nightly occurrences, ei.
ther at the Duncan home or when he
drove the family—for the master of
the house often accompanied them—
or when they met downtown, as fre
quently happened. And ‘the boy wa2
not slows to realize the broad nature
of the task to which Mr. Duncan had
set himself, - His education was to be
built of every knowledge and experi
ence that could go into the rounding
of a well-developed life.
The climax seemed to be reached
when Mr. Duncan invited Dave to ac
company him to a dinner at which ‘a
noted thinker, just crossing the con:
tinent, had consented to speak.
. “It will be evening dress,” said Mr.
Duncan. “I suppose you are hardly
fitted out that way?”
Y] guess not,” said Dave, smiling
“broadly. He recalled the hajf-humor
ous sarcasm with which the Metford
gang referred to any who might be
seen abroad in their “Hereford
{ronts.” He had a sudden vision of
himself running the gantlet of their
ridicule, ;
But Mr. Duncan was continuing,
“I think I can fix you up,” he said.
“We must be pretty nearly of a size,
and I have a spare suit.” And almost
before he knew it it was arranged that
Dave should attend the dinner.
It was an eventful night for him.
His shyness'scon wore off, for during
these\tmonths he had been learning to
accept any new experience gladly.
And as he sat among this company
of the best minds of the town he felt
that a new world was opening befijre
him. His good clothes seemed to work
up in some way through his subcon
sciousness and give him a sense of ca
pability. He was in the mental at
mosphere of men who did things, and
by conforming to their customs he
had brought his mind nto harmony
with theirs, so that it could receive
suggestions, and—who knows?—return
suggestions. “And he was made to
think, think, think.
CHAPTER V.
The summer was not far gone when
Dave, through an introduction fur
nished by Mr. Duncan, got a new job.
It was in the warehouse of a whole
sale grocery, trundling cases and
sacks of merchandise, It was cleaner
than handling coal, and the surround
ings were more congenial and the
wages were better—fifty dellars a
month to begin.
“The first thing is to get out of the
deadline,” said Mr. Dupcan. “I am
not hoping that you will have found
destiny in a wholesale warehouse, butj
you must get out of the deadline. As
long as you shovel coal you will shovel
coal. And you are not capable of
anything better un’il you think you
are.”
“But I've liked it pretty well,” said
Dave. “As long as I was just work
ing for my wages it was dull going,
but it was different after I got to seéd
that even shoveling coal was worth
while. I suppose-it is thie same with
groceries, or whatever one does. AS
soon as you begin to study what you
handle, the work loses its drudgery.
It isn’t a man’s job that makes him
sick of his job; it’s what he thinks
of his job.”
A light of’ satisfaction was in his
teacher’s eyes as Dave made this an
swer. Mr. Duncan had realized that
he was starting late with this pupil,
and if there were any short cuts te
education he must find them. So he
had set out deliberately to instil the
idea that education is not a matter of
schools and colleges, or courses of
reading, or formulae of any kind, but
a matter of the five senses applied to
every éxperience of life. And he knew
that nothing was coarse or common
that passed through Dave's hands.

[WATCHES AND BANK VAULTS
| Why Safe Receptacles Ocasiona?ly
, Have Bad Effect on the Stored
_ Timepieces.
Overseas men who left their watches
| along with other valuable articles in
pank vaults have in many instances
_ found their timepieces erratic or en
| tirely useless on their return.
| “Magnetized,” the watch expert
‘| would say when the timepieces were
|taken to the repair shop.
’ When a watch is inagnetized the
|
| hair spring contracts and does other
unseemly things, and the watch runs
only casually if at all. Wateh repair
ers say they can demagnetize a watch
in a little while and it will be just as
| good as ever.
_ But why should a. bank vault cause
this magnetizing? That’s the odd sea
: ture of it, for frequently the very fac
| tor that makes the watch’s repository
| a safe one puts it “on the fritz” as far
| 2s usefulness goes. A watch isf mag
| netized when some electric current Is
; near enough to have an effect. And
asually the electric current that does
| the work is the current that operates
