She rises from her knees and walks to Gilchrist, cured of her lame- ness. The gang believes it a sign from nt)ovo. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CH.\PTER XXII.â€" (Cont'd) "I wish I could," Daniel earnestly ipjoined. Mary Margaret turned to go. Good- kinu halted her. "You seem to walk all right," he Baiu. "Oh, yes," she answered cheerfully. "Had a doctor look her over?" he aiked of Gilchrist. "Three of thcni." he replied. "Any opinions?" "Three opinions," he answcicd smil- "They say he didn't do i'," spoke up .Ma-y M.u->,aret. "You ses.i hiiii." J'ui'icl held a warning finger towarfi her. "They all Fay she sufTerod from hysterical paraplegia," he said. "Hys- toiieal paralysis; One says she was cured by shock â€" you know, the riot. Another says it was sugRestion â€" bu- lieving â€" which is another way of say- ing faith, isn't it? The important thing is that she's cured." "God did it," the girl said, firmly. "God and Mr. Gilchrist." 11% halted her again, then .sent her (Dn hi!- \v;iy ;vith an armload 'if pack- apes. The two men paused, each wait- ing for the other to speak, it was Goodkind who broke the silence. "How are things with you?" Good- kind asked at length. "Fine!" came the answer, with more thai a mere emphasis of enthusiasm. "Happy?" asked Goodkii.d, as though leeling his way. "Ves." The reply bore assurance. "And you?" "No," said Goodkind, gravely. "Everything's all wrong," he confess- ed. "My boy's very ill. Clare's won- derful t<j him. I can't explaii. it. She's liko a different woman. And she seems happ.v. 15ut Jerry's had to give up work, and there's more trouble in Black River â€" that's what brought me." "You don't want my advice," said Daniel quietly. "I want you," said Goodkind â€" "as general manager. These strikes are such utter d â€" d waste. We had a working compromise on yi ur agree- ment, and everything was all right, but we bcagn figuring we couUl make more money â€" and the men walked out and flt>odtd the mines. I'd like you to take charge, Daniel." Gilchrist did not hesitate. "I can't," he said simply. "You're not going tfi turn down $100,000 a year?" "What can I buy with it that I haven't got?" Gilchrist smilod faintly. "What can you buy with $100,000?" Goodkind blustered, bewildered. What have you bought?" Gilchrist Uenged. who have nothii.g else â€" neither health, nor happiness, nor love, ntr respect. Men who car get no joy out of books, or pictures, ^r music, or even them- selves. Ti -ed, worried men who are afraid to qui., because tliey have no t'esiurco except to mi(k<^ money- money with which to buy vulgar ex- citement for their owivdeljr.sed souls," He paused for a" moment. "Why, Mr. Goodkin:l, • I'avc an 'n- come that you wouldn't su^gtst to your bookkeeper. But I have peace, and health, ai.d friends, and time to read, and think, and dream, and help. Which of us Is the rich i. an?" "But if everybody lived your way," GeMxlkind protested feebly, "what would become of the world's work?" "Living that way is my contribution to the world's work," sr id Daniel. "Another ma. might be selling shoes, or writing pluys, or digging ditches. Doing his job doesn't prevent any man from doing his bit. 'I'rom every mar according to his ability, to every man according o his needs,' And every man who givei; his best must find his happiness." "I'm afraid thoro wouldn't be much progress â€" living your way," said the other, unconvinced. Daniel turned on him. "That's the second time you've spoken of my way. It isn't my way. It s the sum 'otal of all that has been learned and taught. You and Jerry and tho others have called me eccen- tric, and a fool, because I'm trying to w:ilk a path trod hard by countless feet." He rose and drtv. closer. "Was Christ eccentric? Was Con- fucius a fool? An '. how about Buddha and Mohammed? What of St. Ber- nard, and St. Teresa, and S.. Francis of Assisi â€" of Plato, and Zcno, and Lincoln, and Emerson, and Florence Nightingale, and Father Daniien, and chimeH. Daniel walked to the window and threw it open. He looked up at the sky. Mary Margaret watched him wonderingly.

T;.: girl came towaidhimslowly. She foun<I his arm akimbo, and .she tucked her head beneath it and nestled to him. Her eye.s looked above the sky- line to a g'eam of sheer light in the blue. "Mr. Gilchrist," she said softly. "Is that the star of Bethlehem?" He looked up .at it. "I womlcr," he said. But he didn't. He knew.

WRIGLEYS ch;i CHAPTER XXIIL SUCCESS AND PEACE. Goodkind, master of millions, was taken aback by the blnnd query. Out- side thoro waited for him a motor car with more upholstery than this whole room contained. He hail just driven from one of New York'-i residential show places. He owned mines that went deep into the grourd and sky- scrapers that towered into the air. With one fl.)^ri.sh he could write a chc<|uo in seven figures. An<l this man had asked hini what wealth had bought for him! "I've one of the finest house? in New York,'' he saiJ a- last. "Is it any n.oro cimifort .l;le than this?" aniel challenged. "I've got half a dozen carr," wont on Goodkind. "I've two legs, and I walk, and keep well," returned Daniel. "I've '.'O servantsâ€"" "Don't toll me you enjoy that!" ".•\nd, what's most imporluiit of all,' said Goodkind emphatically, "I'm a I success." Daniel fixed piiiet rating eyes upon hi 111. ".'^re you Goodkind's mutter. ".Are you?" Daniel queried again. "What is success? Money! Yes, that is what our civilization tells us. .Money! But where has that brought us? Only to tho elevation of the unfit â€" tho merely shrewd and predatory. All around us we see men of wealth "Is that th star of Hcthk'hcm 'â- '" he asked eari.cstly. answer was a scornful NICE WORDS WONT DYE a dress or coat . . .

"God knows!" said Goodkind, per- pl. .\ed. Tho door opened. Slow I.v a bent figure made its way into the room. One might have found it h.Trd to rec- ognize Jerry in tiio man, Deatii's slow ajiproach was written in his deeply- lined face. He dragged his legs with difficulty. But his eyes still bore a cirtain cruel alertness. "You've been tho devil of a time," he said petulantly, t.iniir.g to his father. "What's been keeping you?" "Mr. Gilch'isv," explained the elder Goodkind. "Hello, Gilchrist," Jerry said crisp- ly to the figuro that came toward him. How are you, Jerry?" responded Gilchrist cheerily. Not so damned well," said the other, cringing . bit. "But I'll be all right in the spring. Clare's looking after inc. Clare's a good sport. What I need now's a run down to Palm Beach." He looked around the room patronizingly. "So you're reduced to this, are you?" "Yes," said Daniel, smiling. "Going to take my job?" "No," said Gilchrist. "Why not?" "Your father understands." said Gilchrist. "Yes â€" so do I," Jerry snaered. "Didn't I ..IwayH say you were a nut. That's it, a nut." And his derisive laughter turned into a paroxysm of coughing that almost toppled him. "Come, Jerry," said his father, starting for the door. It opened be- fore he reached it and Mary Mar- garet camo in. Jerry scrutinized her closely with a leer. "Who's the girl?" he asked of Gil- christ. "Your father's waiting," said Dan- iel, evading the question. "All right," said Jerry, gooil-na- turcdly enough. Ho hobbled toward the door, but not without turning for i\ final fling. ".Some failure you've made out of life," he said contemptu- ously. Ho lifted an unsteady hand, described n circle or two about his head. "Wheelsâ€" by God. Wheels 1" Goodkind looked sadly at Gilchrist. "I wonder whether you're the fail- ure, aXt«r ail," he Sfeid softly, as he took Dftniel's hand. Then he followed hl» son through the door. (Jilchrist took his pipe from his pocket, filled it leisurely, and the flash of a match revealed his clear-out face in the darkening shadows.

The chief diffi- culty is found in' the fact that Can- ada produces pretty much what New- foundland exports, and so there is lit- tle demand in this country for our neighbor's principle products Canada cannot be expecteo to accept pay for her exports in codfish instead of cash, sin^e we already i.i.ve all the fish we need in our own waters. With the most f ric .idly feeling toward New- foundland and with a natural desire to accommodate our trada arrange- ments to suit so good a customer, it will be difficult to discover means by which the trade account may be more nca.-ly balanced.
