CHAPTER II. Thomas Jefferson's twelfth summer fell la the year 13S6; a year memorable In the annals of the Lebanon Iron and coal region as the first of :n epoch, and as the year of the great flood. Bat the herald of change had not yet blown his trumpet In Paradise Valley; and the world of russet and green and limestone white, spreading itself before the eyes of the boy sitting with his hands locked over his knees on the tOD step of the pore-!.

fronting the Gordon homestead, was; the same world which, with due seasonal variations, had been his world from the beginning. It was a hot July afternoon, a full month after the revival, and Thomas Jefferson was at that perilous pas3 -.re Satan is said to lurk for the purpose of providing employment for the idle. lie was wondering If the shade of the hill oaks would be worth the trouble it would take to reach it. when his mother came to the opn window of the llvlne-room: a small.

fair, well-preserved woman, thi mother of the boy of 12. with light brown hair graying a little at the temples, and eyes remindful of vigils, of fervent beseeching, of mighty wrestlings against principalities and pow-sM and the rulers of the darkness l this world. Ton, Thomas Jefferson," she said, gently, but speaking as one having authority, "you'd better be studying your Sunday lesson than sitting there doing nothing." Tes'm." said the boy. but he made no move other than to hug his knees a little closer. lie wished his mother would stop calling ,hls -Thomas Jefferson." To be sure, it was his name, or at least two-thirds of it; but he liked the "Buddy" of his father, or the Tom-Jeff of other people a vast deal btter. Further, the thought of studying fiundav lessons bezot rebellion. At

times, as during those soul-stirring revival weeks, now seemingly receding Into a far-away past, he had momenta of yearning to be wholly sanctified. But the miracle of transformation which he had confidently expected as the result of his "coming through" was still nnwrought. When John Bates or Simon Cantrell undertook to bully him. as aforetime, there was the same intoxicating experience of all the visible world going blood-red before his eyes the same sinful desire to slay them, one or both. He stole a glance at the open window of the living-room. His mother had gone about her housework, and he could hear her singing softly, as befitted the still, wann day. All hymna were beginning to have that effect, and this one in particular always renewed the conflict between the yearning for sanctity and a desire to do something desperately wicked; the only middle course lay in flight Hence, the battle being fairly on, he stole another glance at the window, sprang afoot, and ran silently around the house and through the peach orchard to clamber over the low stone wall which was the only

barrier on that side between the wilderness and the sown. Men spoke of Paradise as "the valley," though It was rather a shelterod cove with Mount Lebanon for Its background and a semicircular range of oak-grown hills for its other rampart Splitting it endwise ran the white streak of the pike, macadamized from the hill quarry which, a full quarter of a century before the Civil War. had furnished the atone for the Dabn-jy manor-house; and paralleling the road unevenly lay a ribbon of silver, known to less poetic souls than Thomas Jefferson's as Turkey Creek, but loved best by him under Its almost forgotten Indian name of Chiawassee. Beyond the valley and its Inclosing Eillls rose the "other mountain," blue n the sunlight and royal purple in tho hadows the Cumberland: source and

Things began to turn red for Thomas Jefferson, and a high, buzzing note, like the tocsin of the bees, fanf? In his ears. "Take your foot out o' that spring!

Don't you mad me, Nan Bryerson!" h'3 cried. She laughed at him and Hung him a taunt "You don't darst to get mad, Tommy-Jeff y; you've trot religion." It is a terrible thing to be angry m shackles. There are similes pent volcanoes, overcharged boilers and the Mke but they are all inadequate. Thomas Jefferson searched for missiles more deadly than dry twigs, found none, and fell headlong not from the rock, but from grace. The girl laughed mockingly and took her foot from the pool, not In deference to his outburst, but because the water was icy cold and gave her a cramp. ".Vow you've done it." she remarked. "The devil "11 shore get ye for sayin that word. Tom-Jeff." There was no reply, and she stepped l ack to see what had become of him. He was prone, writhing in agony. She

knew the W3y to the top of the rock, and was presently crouching beside him. "Don't take on like that!" she pleaded, "Times I cayn't he'p bein' mean: look like I was made thataway. Get up and slap me. If you want to. I won't slap back." But Thomas Jefferson only ground his face deeper Into the thick mat of

ten, or to be remembered only as a dream. On the day of revelations the earlier picture was effaced, blacked out, obliterated; and it cam' to the boy witli a pans that he should never be able to recall it arv.in in its entirety. For the genius of modern progress is contemptuous of old landmarks and impatient- of delays. And swift as its race is elsewhere, it is only in that part of the South whivh has liecomo "industrial"' that it came as a thundorrlan. with nil the intermediate and ac-

sroke of it as 'the boom." It was not that. It was merely that the spirit jf modernity had discovered a hitherto overlooked corner of the held, and made haste to occupy it. Ho in South Tredegar, besprent now

The shops, with their false fronts and shabby learf-to awnings, were gone, or going, and in their room majesti-3 vastnesses In brick and cut stone were rising, by their own might, as it would seem, out of disorderly mountains cf building material. Street-cars, propelled as yet by the patient mule, tinkled their bells incessantly. Smart vehicles of many kinds strange to Paradise eyes rattled recklessly in and out among the street obstructions.

ed." " 'Cause I don't be'.Ieve all that ixb-nt the woman and the snake and the Apple and the man?" "You'll go to hell when you die, and then I guess you'll believe," said Thomas Jefferson, still more definitely. She took a red apple from the pocket of her ragged frock and gave it to him. "What's that for?" he asked, suspiciously. "You eat it; it's the kind you like off 'm the tree right back of Jim

Stone's barn lot," she answered. "You stole It Nan Bryerson!" "Well, what if I did? Y'ou didn't"

He bit Into it, and she held him In talk till It was eaten to the core. "Have you heard tell anything new about the new railroad?" she asked. Thomas Jefferson shook his head. "I heard Squire Bates and Major Dabney naming it one day last week." "Well, it's shore comin' right thoo Paradise. I heard tell how It was goln to cut the old Maje's grass patch plumb in two, and run right smack thoo you-uns' peach orchard." A far-away cry. long-drawn and penetrating, rose on the still air of the lower slope and was blown on tho breeze to the summit of the great rock. "That's maw. hollerin for me to get back home with that bucket o' water." said the girl; and, as she was descending the tree ladder: "You didn't s'plcion why I give yov. that apple, did you, Tommy-Jeffy?" "'Cause you didn't want it yourself, I reckon." said the second Adam. "No; It was 'cause you said I was goln' to hell and I wanted comp'ny. That apple was stole and you knowod it!"

derstands well the psychological mo

ment at which some dainty must be given to insure another respite of a short quarter "of an hour. She is a well known visitor at the London zoo, where many of the animals have "sat" to her for their pictures. Curiously enough, the Philadelphia Record asserts, Miss Magill is not at all anxious to be known as a painter of animals only, and some replicas of excellent portraits of men and women

in her studio and some recently finished subject pictures point to there being a reason for her having a claim to have reached distinction in another branch of art as well. It is interesting to note that at a dog

show Mis3 Magill will succeed In completing a finished painting of a dog's head in an hour or so. She paints very quickly, and thus has the great advantage of never tiring out her dumb sitters. Some animals, by the artist's showing, ever remember with surprising intelligence the benefits accruing from posing as models. Miss Magill speaks with gsoat respect ana affection of Carolu3 Duran, her great French teacher, whose school In Paris she attended for two years, and who, more than anybody else, taught her the art of painting quickly. A model used to be given to the pupils. In a certain time It had to be finished, and the pupil saw it no more. 'Taint what you see," was Carolua Duran's

advice, "not what you imagine you see." A thorough schooling at the Sladc school, and earlier In her life art classes at Belfast, had preceded the delightful time In Paris, and a strong

The Working Woman. . Cardinal Gibbons is quite right in saying that the world has a great deal more respect for the woman who toils than it has for her dawdling, idle sister in society. It must be borne in mind, however, that, the stigma that attaches to luxurious indolence does not belong to all society women. There are women who have a jrreat deal of money, and who do not have to assume the domestic burden, who look

well to the ways of their households,' and are earnestly concerned in altruistic causes. Such women are deserving of admiration and honor. ' There are those who accomplish quietly and apparently without effort, what others dowith much bluster and fuss. In "Weir of Hermlston" Stevenson describes the elder Kristie as run

ning hor household with her whole intemperate soul, In a bustle, not without buffets." The. women who labor on without letting it appear that they are hard at work do not always get the credit for activity that is awarded by the unthinking to the woman who proclaims from the house tcps that she has been busily upheaving the domestic

economy from cellar to garret. Not every woman Is Idle because her efficiency, like less Wisdom, doth not cry aloud nor lift up its voice. Philadelphia' Public Ledger.

MarrjinK ior Home.

In one sense every right-minded woman marries for a home, since the home is the symbol of her new partnership, the sanctuary of all high and holy hopes. It is as natural for the normal woman to long for a home as it is for her to desire the love of a good man; but the day has gone by when an American girl need be forced to make a marriage of convenience. With the multiplication of industries and the ever-widening call for women's work, the number of mercenary alliances in the middle classes has been reduced to a minimum. The educated girl who marries so that she may be supported is either hopelessly lazy or the victim of an unwise training which has failed to fit her for life. So long as love continues to exist in the world and that means until the

human race is extinct It is safe to say that women will be reluctant to marry for a home, and there is no

doubt that economic independence has

Increased the reluctance.

In response to the question, "Do women marry for a home?" we should

say that a few exceptions prove the

rule that American women do not marrv to be supported. New Idea

In be deepening twilight, was cow no more than a great square roof with the cheerful sunlight playing on it. Farther down the valley, near the place where the white pike twisted itself between two of the rampart hills to escape into the great valley of he Tennessee, the epllt-shlngled roof under which Thomas Jefferson had aten and slept since the earliest beginning of memories became also a part of the high-mountain harmony; and the ragged, red Iron-ore beds on the slope above the furnace were softened Into a blur of Joyous color. The iron furnace, with its alternating smoke puff and dull red flare, struck the one Jarring note in a symphony blown otherwise on great nature's organ-pipes; but to Thomas Jefferson the furnace was as much -part of the immutable scheme as the hills or the forests or the creek which furnished the motive power for Its airblast. More, it stood for him as the summary of the world's industry, as the white pike was the world's great highway, and Major Dabney Its chief citizen. He was knocking his bare heels together and thinking idly of Major Dabney and certain disquieting rumors lately come to Paradise, when thu tinkling drip o? the spring Into the pool at the foot of his perch was Interrupted by a sudden splash. By shifting a little to the right he could see thspring. A girl of about his own ao, barefooted, and with only her tangled

For answer to this she put onJ crown foot deep into the pool and wriggUtl her toes in the sandy bottom.

But these were only the gentle heavings and crackings of the ground premonitary of the real earthquake. Thut came on a day of days when, as a reward of merit for having . faultlessly recited the eighty-third Psalm from memory, he was permitted to go t" town with hi father. Behold him, then, dangling his feet uncomfortable because they were stockinged and shod -from the high buggy seat while the laziest of horses ambled between the

shafts up the white pike and around and over the hunched shoulder of Mount Lebanon. This in the cool o' the morning of the day of revelation. In spite of the premonitory tremblings, the true earthquake found Thomas Jefferson totally unprepared. II had been to town often enough to have a clear memory picture of South Tredegar the prehistoric Fouth Tred

egar. There was a single street, hubdeep In mud in the rains, beginning vaguely in the open square surrounding the venerable court-house of pale brick and stucco-pillared porticoes. There were the shops only Thorn is Jefferson and all his kind called them "stores" one-storied, these, the wooden ones with lying false fronts to hide the mean little gables; the brick ones honester in face, but sadly chipped and crumbling and dingy with age and the weather. Also, on the banks of the river, thero was the antiquated iron-furnace which. Ion? before the war, had giv n th 'own Its pretentious name. And las:iv. there was the Calhoun House,

on ariest and most Inhospitable inn of ita kind; and across the muddy street from it the great echoing train-shed, ridiculously out of proportion to every other building in the town, the tavern not excepted, and to the ramshackle, once-a-day train that wheezed and clanked Into and out of It. Thomas Jefferson had seen It all. time and again; and this he remembered, that each time the dead, weather-worn, miry or dusty dullness of it had crept Into hi3 soul, sending him back to the freshness of the Tarad'je fields and forests at eventide with grateful gladness in his heart. But bow all this was to be forzot-
