of words that should convey some of
his wide vision of what his “Open
Hearth Furnace” must mean in terms
of safety and efliciency and human
life to the steel workere. ¥
He recognized gome of the conven
tiona! holding to old ways which must
ever Impede the progress of mankind.
He sensed humanity's fear of the new
~its affrighted hesitation to test the
unknown,
“Thete men who work in the mills,
everywhere, all countiries, are all
alike. They work day and day, and
week and week, and year and year.
'They know no better, they want noth

comes to them and says, ‘Listen, I
make it all different, easier'—you say,
‘Easier?” |
*Yes, easier.’ |
“Yah, yah, ‘easier’ When he say
that, they say he is what you say-—
Crazy! Men work with their hands
and sweat and labor all the time,

eycl of grime and sordid work
Plcked out by chimneys of belching.
“It will be yes—for you, for him, for

can not comprehend what is elear to
the Woman who belongs to him.

“1 don’t understand these drawings
~but 1 understand one thing—it's all
48 crazy as the rest of the things
you've been talking about all your
life. THE idea of turning that money
over to a Polack! Why, it Just can't
be done,”
“But it's going 1o be done,” sald the
Woman quietly.
“1 say no."
“I say yes”
Flercely the Man stormed out at
her,
“You are goin' to do the bossin'?
Just when do you begin?"
At first sternly, and then with a
quiet, self-mastery which permitted
her to master him, too, Anna replied:
- "Well, now, Jim, let's be quiet. Sit
down, please.” ‘
She sank down on the steps at his
#ide and laid her arm gently about his
shoulders. The mera touch of her
quieted him.
Back through the years she led him
to the days when he had come through
her front gate—the days when it had
seemed to her old-world heart, with
it longing to be assimilated with the
mna.mtnmlmdorfm
thing to be scught out by a man of!
America. |
“l planned it all then.” - |
“Planned what?” demauded the
Man, uneasily, |
“This." :
“You ain't got second sight, have
you?”
“Sometimes I'm not so sure but
what I have. You know 1 went a it
tie while to school and then teo the
mills, and I made up my mind I want
ed to go on—to go upr-and when 1
Erew older I planned and dreamed of
the right man to come along and let
me help him. And then you came—
an American. And you asked me to
be your wife. Dear God, you can't
know how grateful I was to you. And
proud. And I loved you for it—then,
and each year more.”
Very simply, Anna Stanley con
fessed to her Man some of the helghts
and depths and wonder of her love for
him. She was too simple to seek to
hold by evasion or the lure of coquet
ry. She could nevér have understood
them. In her nature there were ele
ments untainted by foreign substance
—those elements were honesty, loyal-
Ly and reverence and deep feeling for
man and Geod.
Anna Prevails,
Jim's coarser naturs was incapable
of percsiving her bigness and fineness
consciously, but it bowed to her with
ungonscious reverence. His resent
ment could not hold before the influ
ence she heid over him. He could not
long be petty because she—just a
mere woman-—could see beyond his
seeing.

¢ She Gives Her Colleague Her Views on the Folly of ¢
g Marrying Money. $
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
6 ¢ J WAS reading about a heiress that
I ran away with the gent she
loved,” sald the Manicure Lady.
“That's what I call a noble ideal for
which to live for.”
“It was all right if the gent she loved
had an income of his own,” said the
Head Barber, “in case her old gent cut
her off. It would be tough for a heiress
to find out that she had to do plain
cooking in a little flat. She would suf
fer almost as much as her husband.”
‘“The newspaper story says that she
didn’t know how to do housework, but
that love would find a way and that
she was willing to learn cooking. That's
the grand spirit!” declared th€ Mani
cure Lady. *“I ecan’'t cook nothing rhy
self, George, but if I marry some poor
boy I ain't above trying to learn.”
“Don’t you nevßr do it!” warned
the Head Barber. “If the gent you
marry ain't got a roll pe will get indi
gestion. You have got a true, fond
heart, kid, but you can't boil eggs with
lovelight or cook steaks with tender
glances. Of course, if you was a capa
ble housekeeper like my Missus, it
would be different, but there ain’t many
like her.”
Marriage a Gamble.
"“Of course, not,” said the Manicure
Lady, “and there ain’t many gents like
you. Maybe I will marry weaith, the
way the Gypsy fortune-teller told me 1
would, but she was cross-eyed, and
maybe she didn't read my future none
too clear. If 1 should happen to marry
wea'th and station I would have as
much trouble learning how to sha.)m‘
hands as most girls has learning how
to cook. |

F a subject which” none of my
readers has ever broached bhe

many of my readers would do well to
‘lhlnk. and so I quote her letter exactly
as It is written: ¢
'_"Aflor a lengthy discussion on the
| tople of whether it is proper for a young
ilndy to call up her masculine friends on
the phone just for a social call, I still
feel undecided. It is to vou, my dear
Miss Falrfax, that T turn for a decision.
Do you think it is proper for a young
lady to call up different gentlemen on
the phane just for a little chat?"”
Most decidedly not, Flossie. Men
who have any serious business are sure
to be amnoyed when women call them
up”just to pass the time of day. Al
men ridicule the feminine habit of vis
iting over the telephone. Any man who
has anything serious to say to a girl
will not discuss it over the phone. He
will call her up and as briefly as possi
ble make an appointmeént to meet her.

lERE is a wind that sweeps the city street,
T Rife with the perfume caught from April's hair:
That breathes of pink arbutus, frail and sweet,
Beneath drenched moss, hid in some woodland lair:
And February winds are passing fleet
When Spring walks forth with slim feet white and bare
And in the city street the sodden snow,
Under an azure sky, has had its fill,
The world turns over in its sleep, and 1o
Youth burning at her heart turns her athrill,
And down the street a woman worn with woe
Clasps in her hand a faded dafodli.

“Not me, it don't)’ sald the practical
Head Baiber. “I got troubles enough
of my own. The only girl I worry about
at all is you, and I do hope you get a
real guy. You have waited so long and
8o patient, like & old fisherman setting
ten hours out under the boiling sun.
I get kind of sad sometimes when I
think how the years is slipping by with
out bringing you no wedding ring."
Plenty of Time.
“There is plenty of years to slip by
vet,” said the Manicure Lady. *“I ain’t
no spinster, George. The bloom of
youth is still on my cheek—the natural
bloom, too, no matter what you think
-—and 1 still have ‘them unfaltering,
clear eyes of youth, looking ahead at

like it says in the novel I was reading
last night, ‘Muriel's Master.’ She got
a swell gent in that book, George, and
she got him the same way I am going
to get mine, by patient waiting and
watching, like Mister Wilson.”
“I hope you don’t wait in vain,” said
the Head Barber. ‘“You ain't got the
sweetest temper in the world now. It
would be awful to think how you would
pan me if you got to be a spinster!”
“You don’t need to worry none,” said
the Manicure Lady. *By the time 1
am old enough to be called a spinster
you'll be too old to be hanging around
here. There comies my faithful old
bookmaker, Joe Blow. T never seen a
gent that was so fond of his fingernails
as Joe Good, reliable old Joe Blow!"”
““He went past the door,” said the
Head Barber. ‘No, he's coming back.”
“Sure he is,” said the Manicure Lx.dvl
“1 wish there was more gents like him.”
Do you know any worth-while men
who make a practice of telephoning
their women friends merely for the joy}
of conversation?
The type of man who does this thing
describes his own proceeding pretty ac
curately when he says:
“Guess I'll call up Mabel and jolty
her along a little. It's easier than trot
\tlnc out to see her.”
Being “jollled along” by a man is dis
tinctly mot to a girl's sdvantage. It is
& lazy maf's way of amusing himself
a 8 insincerely and as much without ef
fort as possible. It certainly isn't
worth while wasting 5 cents to call up
such a man!
And as for the men of more worthy
caliber—earnest, sincere men of the
working type—f{o bother them with idle
persifiage over a telephone is to estrange
their best liking and most sincere in.

Don't do it. It annoys them and it
places you in the category of tiresome
chatterboxes completely obnoxious to
‘the masculine soul!
Under the direction of Professor
Benussi the time occupied in inspi<
ration and expiration was measured,
and the measurement was taken again
immediately after he finished. It was
found that the utterance of a false
statement nlws)l increased and the
utterance of a true statement always
diminished the quotient obtalned by
dividing the time of inspiration by the
time of expiration.
Dr. Anton Rose, commenting on
these results, remarks that the dis

{ Hope Tt Was an Accident,”” Murmured Jane, Covering Her Eyes with Her Hand as She
Heard of Mary Baird’s Death.
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN
; DE WATER.
CHAPTER LXIV.
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company.)
¢ HAT is all, dear child. Ihave
| T told you everything.”
| Dr. Monroe spoke gently
and affectionately, looking down at
}‘Jnne Reeves’ pale face. .
It Was a fair afternoon in June. The
Anvalid, convaleseent, but still weak,
‘had been carried down into the sitting
toom. She would lie here on the
‘couch until dusk, when once more she
‘would be put to bed.
| Untu\to-dny she had not been al
lowed to talk of the change in her life
‘and of the tragedy that had brought it
about. Nor had she shown much cu
riosity about it.
~ She recalled perfectly the events of
the night on which unconsciousness
had mercifully drawn a dark curtain
over the horrors she could not bear.
That curtain had lifted gradually, and,
as the past events stood out clearly,
one by one, before her mind's eye, the
siek woman needed all her strength
to consider them. She had had
enough to think about without any
more revelations.
But this morning her husband’s
lawyer had come to see her. Augus
tus Reeves' will had not been read yet,
he reminded her. Could she listen
to it this afternoon?
She had said that she could and
would, but had asked that Dr. Monroe
come and stay with her during the
ordeal. This old friend who had
brought her back from the valley of
the shadow of death seemed a strong
staff to her weakness.
The Bequests.
S 0 he had come, and had sat by her,
stroking her hand while she listened.
Augustus Reeves had left the great.
er part of his property to his wife, al
though there was a bequest to Mary
Baird, his housekeeper, and a gener
)ou- sum to go to the Dutch Reformed
T(.’hurch of Miiton.
The settlement of the estate would
ibo simple, as Jane was now his only
‘heir,
~ Then she had thanked the lawyer
for coming, adding that she would
like to see him again when she was
stronger. Just now she could not talk
business.
It was after he had left that she
turned to Dr. Monroe. “And now,” she
sald, “I want you to tell me the truth
~everything. 1 oan bear it” |
He bad done as he was bid, watch
ing the white face for any signs of
overexcitement, |
But, excdept for an occasional
smothered exclamation, Jane re
mained calm. Once, indeed, she cov
ered her eyes with her hAnd for a
minute. It was when she was toid
of how Mary Baird had met hor]
death. She knew that Mary was
dead, She did not know that nhol
had been drowned.
“1 hope it was an accldent” Jane
murinured. “OL, | hope it das'" ‘
“We will believe it was, dear child.”
the doctor rejoined. “Anyway, it's
well with her now.”
\ An Explanation.
’ “I'm sure she must have been in
eane,” Jane mused. Then, with a
shudder, “I wish—Oh, I wish the farm
might be sold! I never want to see
it again. For,” sinking her volce to
a whisper, “I knew while I was there
most of the things you have told me.
That is why I have not been more
surprised at your story.”
~ The doctor started. “You knew
‘most of these things already!” he ex
claimed. “Did you know,” he paused.
~ “Yes,” she affirmed, reading his
unspoken question. “I knew. I lis
tened. It was wrong, but I had to
know the truth. I think,” with an
other shudder, “that knowledge would
have driven me mad at last even if—
even if—"
Her voice trembled and the tears
came 10 her eyes,
“There! there!” the physician
soothed. “Don't try to talk about
it. It is all over forever, remember.
You need never go to that house
again, Will you make me a prom
ise?”
" “What is it she faltered.
“Promise to try to forget the past,
It is dead. Try to look forward.”
“I will try,” she assured him. “But
there's nothing to look forward to in
my life now. I feel as if the past year
had been one horrible series of mis
takes, as if I had sold my better self
for an unworthy, scheming self; as
if 1 had thrown away my happiness
and had bought misery and shame.
Oh, If 1 had only known! If I had
only known!"
“You know now,” he reminded her
gently. “While it has cost you suf
fering, you have learned what s
worth while in life. We learn by our
mistakes. And, Jane, you meant to
do what was right.”
Her Mistake,
“Yes,” she mused, “I meant to do
what was right—as 1 saw it. But
1 made the mistake of thinking that
a wrong deed, or a compromise with
one's ideals and faith, can bring last
ing good. And it can't.”
“No, dear,” her companion agreed,
“it never can. If we put our bungling
fingers Into the machinery of lifg and
try to run it according to our whims,
why, we get those same fingers pinch
ed, that's all. But, child, thank now
of all the good you can do, all the
happiness you can give with what u;
left of your life.” |
“Yen," she assented wsoftly, “I can
help father and mother. That's whst}
I meant to do all Along. Only 1 chose
my own way of doing it, and so made
matters worse. But don't you think
1 have been punished enough ™
“1 certainly do!” Dr. Monrpe smiled,
“And you seem to forget that you
made your choice from unselfish mo
tives ™
“1 call them that™ she corrected,
“but they were my selfish ideas of

ward to Mr. Evans, “T don't believe
that child i= a bit glad that she has
enough money to keep her and her
people in comfort for the rest of
their lives. She certainly doesn't care
a rap about it for herself.”
“No,” Mr. Evans replied soberly,
“she paid too big a price for it.”
