I THE QUICKENING I

U H n vt n n :by: FRANCIS Ccpyright. 1906. CHAPTER VII. (Continued.) Why Mr. Duxbury Farley spared the Iron-master In the freezing-out proct-s was an unsolved riddle to many. But there were reasons. For one. there was the lease of tho coal lands, renewable year by year thia was Caleb's own honest provision Inserted in the contract for the Major's protection and renewable only by the Major's friend. Further, a practical man at the practical end of an industry is a sheer necessity; and by contriving to have honest Caleb associated with himself in the receivership, a fine color of uprightness was imparted to the promoter's far-reaehins plan of asrandizerr.ont. So. later, when the reorganization was effected; when the troublesome, dividend-hungry stockholders of the original company were eliminated ly due process of law, Caleb's name appeared on the Farley slate with the title of general manager of the new company for the same good and sufficient reasons. It was during the fervid six months cf Chiawassee Coal and Iron development that Thomas JetTerson had passed from the old" life to the new from childhood to boyhood. Simultaneously there were the coalmines opening under tho cliffs of Mount Lebanon, the Ions, double row of coking-ovens building on the fiat below the furnace, and the furnace itself taking on undreamed-of magnitudes under the hands of the army of workmen. Thomas Jefferson did his test to keep the pace, being driven by a new and eaer thirst for knowledge mechanical, and of a gripping desire to be present at all the assembling of all the complicated parts of the threefold1 machine. And when he fgund It impossible to bo in three places at one and the same moment, it distressed him to tears. Of the home life during that strenuous interval there was little more than the eating and sleeping for one whose time for the absorbent process was ail too limited. Also, tho perplexing questions reaching down into the undersoul of things were silent Also, again mark of a chance so radical that none but a Thomas Jefferson may read and understand an awe-inspiring Major Dabney had ceased to be the first citizen of the world, that pinnacle being now occupied by a tall, sallow, smooth-faced gentleman, persuasive of speech and superhuman in accomplishment, who was the life and soul of the activities, and whom his father and mother always addressed respectfully as "Colonel" Farley. One day, in the very heat of the battle, this commanding personage, at whose word the entire world of Paradise was In travail, had deigned to Fpeak directly to him Thomas Jefferson. It was at the mine on the mountain. The workmen were bolting lntd place tho final trestle of the Inclined railway which' was to convey the coal in descending carloads to the bins at the coke-ovens, and Thomas Jefferson was absorbing the details as u dry sponge soaks water. "Making sure that they do It just right, are you, my boy?" said the great man. patting him approvingly on the shoulder. "That's good. I like to see a toy anxious to get to the bottom of things. Going to be an iron-master, like your father, are you?" "N-no," stammered the boy. "I wisht I was!" "Well, what's to prevent? We are going to have the completest plant in the country right here, and it will be a fine chance for your father's son; the finest In the world." " . "'Tain't goln' to do me any good." said Thomas Jefferson, dejectedly. "I got to be a preacher." Mr. Duxbury Farley looked down at nli-i curiously. He was a religious person himself, coming to be known as a pillar in St. Michael's Church at South Tredegar, a liberal contributor, and a prime mover In a plan to tear down tho old building and to erect a new one more In keeping with the times and South Tredegar's prosperity. Yet he was careful to draw the line between religion as a means of grace and business as a means of making mney. "That is your mother's wish. I suppose; and It's a worthy one; very worthy. Yet. unless you have a special vocation but there; your mother doubtless knows best. I am only anxious to see your father's son succeed In whateverjje undertakes." After that, Thomas Jefferson secretly made Success his god, and was alertly ready to fetch and carry for the high priest in its temple, only the opportunities were Infrequent. For, wide as the Paradise field seemed to be growing from Thomas JefTerson's point of view, it was altogether too narrow for Duxbury Farley. The principal offices of Chiawassee Coal and Iron were In South Tredegar, and there ' the first vice president was building a hewn -stone mansion1, and had become a charter member of the clty'a first club; was domiciled In duo form, and was already beginning to soften his final "r's." and to speak of himself as a Southerner by adoption. So sped the winter and the spring succeeding Thomas Jefferson's 13th birthday, and for the first time in hla lifo he saw the opening bud3 of the lronwood and the tender, fresh greens of the herald poplars, and smelled the sweet, keen fragrance of awakening nature, without being moved thereby. Ardea he saw only now and then, as old Scipio drove her back and forth between the manor-house and the railway station, morning and evening. lie had heard that she was going to school in the city, and as yet there were nu stirrings of adolescence In him to maki him wish to know more. As for Nan Bryerson, he saw her not at all. For one thing, he climbed no more to the spring-sheltering altar rock among the cedars; and for another, among all the wild creatures of the mountain, your moonshiner Is the shyest, beir.i' an anachronism In a world of progress. One bit of news, however, floated In on the gossip at Little Zoir. It related that Nan's mother was dead, and that the body had lain two dis unburied while Tike was drowning his sorrow In a sea of his own "pine-top." Vaguely it had been understood in tho Gordon household that Mr. Ijbury Farley was a widower with two children: a boy, ome years older th in Thomas Jefferson, at school in New England, and a girl younger, name and place of sojourn unknown. The Loy was coming South for the long vacation, and the affairs of the Chiawas - Coal and Iron already reaching oml subterraneously toward the futuro receivership would call the first vi-. president North for the better portion of July. Would Mrs. Martha take pity On a motherless lad. whose health was none of tho best, und open her home to Vincent? Mrs. Martha would and did; not ungrudgingly on the vice president's account, but with many misivins on Thomaa Jefferson's. She was finding the surcharged industrial atmosphere of the new era Inimical at every point to the development of the spiritual passion she had striven to arouse In her

LYNDE by Francis Lyncs n: to paving the way for the reali.2ing of that ideal which had first taken form when she had written "Reverend Thomas Jefferson Gordon" on the margin of the letter to her brother Silas. As it fell out, the worst happened that could happen, considering the apparent harmlessness of the exciting cause. Vincent Farley proved to be n anemic stripling, cold, reserved, with no surface indications of moml deprav ity, and with at least a veneer of good breeding. But in Thomas Jefferson's heart he planted the seed of discontent with hi3 surroundings, with the homely old house on the pike, unchanged as yet by the rising tide of prosperity, and more than all, with the prospect of becoming a chosen vessel. It was of no use to hark back to the revival and the heart-quaking experiences of a year agone. Thomas Jefferson tried, but all that seemed to belon? to another world and another life. What he craved now was to be like th'.S envied and enviable son of good fortune, who wore his Sunday suit every day, carried a beautiful gold watca, and was coolly and complacently at eas?, even with Major Dabney and a foreignborn and traveled Ardea. Later in the summer the envy died down and Thom.i3 Jefferson developed a pronounced case of hero-worship, something to the disgust of the colderhearted, older boy. It did not last very long, not did it leave any permanent scars; but before Thomas Jeffersjn was fully convalescent the subtle flattery of his adulation warmed the subject of It lnt- something like companionship, and there were bragging stories of boarding-school life and cf the world at large to add fresh fuel to the fire of discontent Though Thomas Jefferson did not know it. his deliverance on that side was nigh. It had been decided thit he was to be sent away to school, Chiawassee Coal and Iron promising handsomely to warrant the expense; and the decision hung only on the choice of courses to be pursued. Caleb had marked the growing hunger for technical knowledge in the boy, and had secretly gloried In it. Hen-, at least, was a strong stream of his own craftsman's blood flowing In the veins of his son. "It 'd be a thousand pities to spoil a good Iron man and engineer to make a poor preacher, Martha," he objected; this for the twentieth time, and when the approach of autumn was forcing the conclusion. "I know, Caleb; bou you don't understand," was the Invariable rejoinder. "Y'ou know that side of him, because It's your side. But he is my son, too: and and, Caleb, the Lord has called him!" "lie's only a little shaver yet I.-.i him try the school in the city for a year 'r so. goin and comin' on the railroads, nights and mornin's, like th; Major's gran'daughtcr. After that, we might see." Thomas Jefferson took his last afternoon for a ramble in the ficld3 and woods beyond the manor-house, in that part of the valley as yet unfurrowed' by the industrial plow. It was not the old love of the solitudes that called him; it was rather a sore-hearted desire to go apart and give place to all the hard thoughts that were bubbling and boiling within. A long circuit over the boundary hills brought him at length to the little glade with the pool In Its center where he had been fishing for perch on that day when Ardea and the great dog had come to make him backslide, lie wondered if ühe had ever forgiven him. Most likely she had not. She never seemed to think him greatly worth while when they happened to meet. He was sitting on the overhanging bank. Just where he had sat that oth'-r day, when suddenly h'3tory repeat" ! itself. There was a rustling in tinbushes; the Great Dane bounded out, thought not as before to stand menacing; and when he turned his head she was there near him. "Oh. it's you, is It?" she said, coolly; and then she called to the dog and made as if she would go away. But Thomas JefTcrson's heart was full, and full hearts are soft. "Ycu needn't run," he hazarded. "I reckon I ain't going to bite you. I don't feel much like biting anybody today. I'm going to be a preacher." "You?" she said, with the frank and unsympathetic surprise of childhood. Then politeness came to the rescue and she added: "I'm sorry for that, too, It you are wanting me to be. Only I should think It would be fine to wear a long black robe and a pretty white surplice, and to learn to sing the prayers beautifully, and all that." Thomas Jefferson was honestly horrified, and he looked it "I'd liko to know what In the world you're talking about," he said. "About your being a minister, of course. Only in France they call them priests of the church." The boy's lip3 went together in a tine straight line. Not for nothing did the blood of many generations of Protestants flow In his veins. "Priest" was a Popish word. "The Pope of Rome Is antichrist!" ho declared, authoritatively. She seemed only politely interested. . "Is he? I didn't know," Then, with a tactfulnc-ss worthy of graver years, she drew away from the dangerous topic. "When are you going?" "To-morrow." "Is it far?" "Yes; it's an awful long ways." "Never mind; you'll be coming back after a while, and then we'll be friends if you want to." "I'm mighty glad' he said. Then he got up. "Will you let me show you the way home again? the short, easy way, this time." She hesitated a moment, and then stood up and gave him her hand. "I'm not afraid of you now; we don't hate him any more, do we. Hector?" And so they went together through tho yellowing aisles of the September wood and across the fields to the manor-house gates. CHAITKU VIII. Tom Cordon Thomas Jefferson now only in his mother's letters was nast lü, and his voice was in the transition staue which made liirn blushingly seifonseious when he ran up the w.ndow"hade in the Pullman to wi.teh for the einliest morning outlining of old I-eb-trt'.n on the Fouthern horizon. 1 lome.sif -kness returned with renewal i'.MlniH when tha train had ilouMfd thof Lebanon and threadnl Its way niiong the hills to the Paradise portal, tlordonia, of the single side-track, had grown into a small iron town, with the Chiawassee plant flanking a good half-mile of the railway; with a cinb tv street or two. and a scummy wave of operatives' cottapes and laborers' shacks spreading up the hillsides which were stripped bare of their trees and undergrowth. Tom's eyes filled, and he was wonduring faintly if the desolating tide of progress had topped the hills to pour over into the home valley beyond, when his father acco&ted him. There was a little shock at tlie sight of the grizzled hair and beard turned so much grayer:

but the welcoming was like a. grateful draft of cool water in a parched wildei-

j "Well, now then! How are ye, Buddy boy? Croat land o' Canaan! but you've shot up and thickened out ! mightily In two years, son." Tom was painfully conscious of his I size. Also of the fact that he was j clumsily in his own way. particularly j as to hands and foot The sectarian j school dwelt lightly on athletics and I such purely mundane trivialities as j physical fitness and the harmonious education of the growing body and j limbs. I "Yes; I'm so big it makes me right tired," he said, gravely, and his voice cracked provokingly in the middle of it. Then he asked about his mother. "She's tolerable only tolerable, Buddy. She allows she don't have enough to keep her doin' in the new " Caleb pulled himself up abruptly and changed the subject with a ponderous attempt at levity. "What-all have you done with your trunk check, son? Now I'll bet a hen worth fifty dollars ye'vo gone and lost it." But Tom had not; and when the luggage was found there was another innovation to buffet him. The old buggy with Its high scat had vanished, and in its room there was a modern surrey and a negro driver. Tom looked askance at the new equipage. "Can't we make out to walk, pappy?" he asked, dropping unconsciously into the child -time phrase. "Oh, yes; I reckon we could. Tou'ra not too young, and I'm not so terr'öie old. But get In, Buddy, get in; then;'ll be trampin enough for ye, all summer long." (To be continued.) III THE NEW HARVARD. Lecture on Awtronoiuy Im Inter' rapted by Infaut Prodigies. "Before proceeding further with the lecture," said the professor of astronomy at Harvard, according to Life, "I must insist that the students lay aida their dolls.

Cupid and the Proprieties

By Catherine i iiinniHT """'rnwi Copyright, 1310, by Monday morning was drawing perilously near and the party had just broken up. It was one of Patricia Norton's regular Sunday night supper parties, whose guest list never numbered more than eight and usually less and the Falwells and Jimmie Brent were the latest stayers. Mrs. Falwell and her husband were just leaving. Mrs. Falwell and her husband! It was always that way, not that Mrs. Falwell was the more important of the two or was the possessor of any mental, morai or physical superiority, but it just naturally was. Yet every one liked Vj Falwell and he himself seemed quite content with things as they were. Jimmie rirenr. had risen with the Falwells, but after they had gone ho Btill remained. In his hand he held B half smoked cigar. "May I stay until I finish this?" heInquired, Indicating his weed. "Surely," said Patricia. "Brent promptly knocked off not Duly the ashes, but the live end of the cigar. Patricia's eyebrows went up Inquiringly. "Your motive, Jimmie?" she questioned. "You said I should stay until I finished this cigar," holding it off and admiring its proud, brown beauty. "But I don't expect jou to bo forever doing it." "Forever!" mused Jimmie. "I'd like to make this last forever." "Jimmie Brent, you are comin? back (o a forbidden subject. Finish that cigar in five minutes for then out you go." "Do you mean thatc Patricia?" making no move to light his cigar and if possible settling himself still more comfortably in his chair. "May I ask how you are going to do it? You can't use truto force, you know." "I shan't attempt to do it myself," the said, with dignity. "I shall call Aunt Nancy, and if she can't accomplish it she will call the janitor." "Call Aunt Nancy Good. She thinks you are making; the mistake of "I'd Never Do That. all the many mistakes of your life in so persistently refusing to marry me. Call Aunt Nancy in if you wish, she is ou my side." "I should say she is. She mado the cOiToe so strong tonight that If It had wanted to do so it could have walked off bodily with this entire apartment. And all that because 'Mar'se Brent hr likes his cawfee dat strong dat if de cup was ter bre'k de cawfeo would 'most stand up alone.' " "All of which goes to prove my point. As for the janitor, nice sort of a name you would have if one of your Sunday nights ended in a disgraceful brawl between the janitor and one of your guests." "Nice sort of name I'll have, anyway, if you stay here much later," muttered Patricia, glancing at the clock. "Thoso new people across the hall are taking a lively interest in me as it Is. and they have been here only a week." "You don't say so!" offered Jimmie. politely, covering his lips quickly with his hand, ostensibly to conceal a yawn. "Jimmie, you are sleepy. Tlease go home." "Haven't finished my cigar." "You are not likely to if you don't get busy and smoke It." "I'm not in a hurry, thank you. But about those new people across tho hall, Patricia? Tell me more about them. What do you think of them?" "I think they are horrid," said Patricia la a tone that bore the hallmark of conviction. "I've seen only two members of the family, but they nr. enough. There Is an old, gray-haired woman, fo lean and angular you could use her for a eostumer. She owns a barbed-wire voice that corresponds perfectly with her hatchet-face." "Barbed-wire voice, hatchet-face." repeated Jimmie. "She la perfectly safe from me. put what sort of person is she? Your description doesn't reveal that little detail." "Oh. doesn't It? Then perhaps the fact that she discusses tho other people In the apartment building with tho servants may throw some light on the subject." "It does help some. But what has she said about about well, about you, for instance?" Well, she said that if I were not" Inventor of

Patricia stopped in the middle of her speech, and her face flushed. "Go on. What did she say?" "She said," repeated ratricia, with an effort, "that if I was not engaged to you I ought to be, and " "My sentiments exactly. The lady of the hatchet-face is not such a bad sort, after all. But to go on. What else?" "She said it was disgraceful the number of times that you come here, and the lateness of your stay is always perfectly shocking. And thoso are my sentiments, Jimmie; you simply must go." "Not until you have promised to become Mrs. J. Brent before the year is over." "I'd never do that." "Very well, then, here I'll sit. Meantime, take heed unto j'oursclf and remember the hour." "I am remembering it, Jimmie. Please, please go. Finish your cigar as you cross the park." "No, thank you; that isn't included in my campaign plans. Tell me moro about these interesting people. Who Is the second member of the family that you know?" "A horrid, freckled boy, who Is the most ubiquitous person with whom it has ever been my misfortune to come in contact, lie is always In the halls and lately he has insisted on posting my letters for mo. Fairly snatches them -out of my hand and races off like mad. I can't stir any more without finding him at my heels." "You seem to have made a conquest, and, after the manner of womankind in general, you don't appreciate it. By the way, how did all these remarks of the hatchet-faced one reach your errrs? That point isn't quite clear to me." "Aunt Nancy told me. The woman herself and the janitor, to whom my most estimable neighbor across the j way has also been talking, it seems, told Aunt Nancy." "But, Patricia, what was that you said about people listening to tales from servants, and talking to them?" "Jimmie, you are horrid. It Is different with Aunt Nancy.

"Can't help it if it is 5 o'clock a. m. Patricia, j'ou know you love me, only you are too contrary to admit it. You have kept me in suspense for six long years and that Is more than enough. Moreover, you have yourself to think of. If the people across the hall 'have noticed my numerous and late visits, so have the other people in the building." "Stop!"$ cried Patricia. "Please, pleaso don't say anything more like that And won't you go home?" "I will not until you promise to be my wife, Patricia," and, rising quickly. Brent crossed to Patricia, who aso hr.d risen. He took her in his arms. P tricia attempted to free herself. "Promise me, Patricia, that you will bo my wife," coaxed Jimmie, gently, but there was underneath it all a stern tono that implied that the man would brook delay no longer. "Will you go at once if I do promise?" "I'll go in five minutes. I want to tell you something first. Is it a bargain?" "Yes, Jimmie, I will marry you." "Before the year Is over?" "Yes." Brent bent and kissed bcr before he asked: "On your word of honor. In spite of what I am going to tell you? Oh, I promise you I haven't committed a penal olilcnse or disgraced tho family in any way," he said, quickly. In answer to tho glance of startled inquiry from Patricia. "Tell me.

"Patricia, I nm the main part of the new family that ha just moved Into the apartment across the hall." ;'You!" gasped Patricia. "And, and the woman with the awful face and voice? They are dreadful, even if she is related to you." "But she isn't a relation of mine, so den't look so distressed. She will not come to pay us long visits. She Is a most estimable woman, however, and my housekeeper." "And the boy?" "The 'horrid imp. which I believe was the affectionate and tender terra you used In conjunction with him, is my young brother, who, by the way. i thinks that you aro the one woman. And all those tales were purely my own invention, carried to the right person by my faithful housekeeper. You see, dear. I was getting desperate. Remember, you have promised, on ytnr word of honor, to marry me; so there is to be no retraction of your promise." "Marry 3rou? I certainly will," said Patricia, positively, "if for no other reason than to keep my eye cn you in the future and prevent your doing something still worse. But do you remember your own premise to go?" "Yes; and I'll go," said Jimmie, snatching up his clgnr from the chimney piece. "Only I'll smoke this, not as I cross the park, but aa I cross the hall."

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA "When my boy was six years old, ho suffered terribly with . eczema. He could neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed, for the itching was dreadful. Ho would Irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to spread. It started in a small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. "Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and gave them according to directions. I used them In the morning and that evening, before I put ray boy to bed, I used them aga?n and the improvement even in those few hours was surprising, the inflammation seemed to be so much less. I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was iured. My son is now In his seventeenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. "I took care of a friend's child that had eczema on its face and limbs and I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never returned. I would recommend the Cuticura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochran, 1S23 Columbia Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., Oct 20, 1909." A Teacher In the Making.

The woman instructor, true to her method of drawing upon the general knowledge of a student rather than to permit a failure, after eliciting two or three inconsequential "stabs" from her fair but jaded disciple, asked for the products of China. The victim brightened. "Tea," she asserted, preparing to sit down. "Yes, and what else?" encouraged the instructor. xThe young woman smiled with sweet hopelessness. "Now you can mention others, I am sure. Just think about it." "Tea,", drawled the flute-like voice of the pretty girl, "and," puckering her forehead with an intellectual tour de force, "and laundry work." Youth's Companion. Your Wife's Picture.
