He spoke softly to the physician in the outer room. Id the doctor, "life still lingers, but it won't be much longer now. I was ding on some oxygen from New Bedford, but the trains are stalled and the roads will be almost impassable. It might have kept him alive a few hours. I don't know. What use would that be wlu-n he has spent1 himself? Men have 30 much strength. He spent his for the people who called him a drunkard. Men have just so much will to live. Well, a woman robbed him of that. He is about to die. Perhaps he understands what that poor girl has been telling him. Sometimes the senses are alert when the body seems funotionless." I i~ WISH you would persuade her to return with me," said the other. Doctor Fowler looked at the tall man with scorn, • Have you ever loved anyone but yourself?" "Two people. One was my wife. The other is the girl in there." Curiously enough he could not resent the old man's tone. The great achievements of his life brought him no comfort now. By the side of the three people in this lonely cottage he found himself dwarfed and mean. Without his background of wealth, his retinue of servants, his office staff and obsequious friends was .he nothing? It was the spectacle of Alda's suffering which broke him down at last and softened the heart that had so little of pity in it. He realized that here was a situation so desperate that no money of his could buy her happiness. Suddenly he snatched up his fur-lined coat, pulling1 it on as he ran down the slippery path to the lane. Doctor Fowler was startled at his actions. It was as though he had seen a man become crazed. "My d. ,ir," he said later, "your father has taken the auto and gone." Alda seemed not to hear. Her cheeks were pressed against the white hands of the silent man. "If he could only know!" she moaned.

STEINITE LABORATORIES, 3go Radio eidg., atchisoh, kansaj IT was in the early morning of the next day that Stephen Jarrold's shout brought them to the door. It was not the car< fully dressed man who had left them. His head was bandaged, his clothing stained and crumpled. The lilaccolored coupe had suffered. Two fenders were b< nt and one side of the car was scratched and dented. "It turned over by the Wa reliant Bridge." Jarrold explained. "Ice. Chains transformed themselves into skates. Alda, how is he?" "No better," she answered, not understanding why he had returned. "Then I'm in time," he cried. "You'll have to lift it from the car. I wrenched a shoulder when it overturned." "Lift what out?" the doctor said almost irritably. "The oxygen container. Where did you think I had gone? Home?" "Man," the other exclaimed, "you couldn't make it with the roads like this. I tell you the thing's impossible." During the tiring journey Stephen Jarrold had realized that only in Alda's happiness could his own be found. Never had he spent such moments of agony as when preparations were being made to administer the revivifying gas. He put his undamaged arm around the girl. AT their side, invisible, Death and Life stood asking which had the better right to the tired body. For a little while it seemed that the darker shadow had won. Then, very gradually, the miracle of life returning was at first only a hope and then a certainty. The face which had been so worn and etiolate flushed faintly and the eyes so nearly sealed with the last slumber opened slowly. At the first they looked at the group almost without expression. It was as though a man had returned from beyond the grave to gaze upon strangers. Then Clandon looked at Alda and smiled a little and reached out a wasted hand to her. There were no words needed between these two. Stephen Jarrold and the doctor tiptoed from the room. There were tears in the financier's eyes. He was afraid the physician had seen them. "I'm not used to such scenes," he explained. "It's different with -you." Then he saw that emotion had mastered the other. "We're a couple of damned old fools," said Stephen Jarrold.

My dad publishes the News in Saxonville and he has Mr. Garden collect some of his bad advertising bills in Minneapolis and St. Paul." "It must be hard for Babe when he goes up against the Gophers in a game." "The worst game of the year. He generally gets a sprain or hurt in practice before the Gopher game. He's loyal to home and also to school, so it hits him hard. You know there is a strain of the Chippewa in his blood. That accounts for his straight black hair and his dark complexion. It also accounts for his marvelous endurance. They can't tire him. and they can't hurt him so bad he can't carry on if he wants to. But he has always been terribly girl shy." "He doesn't seem to be very shy with you." "Well, he shouldn't. We went through high school together. But let's hurry. Oh, that I knew what the gods have ,in store for me this day!"
