mills that didn't lore bin and trust
him. There Isn't, a man here who
won't welcome John Clark's son
and give him a square deal "
Tom was genuinely touched hv
the rough sincerity of the old man's
welcome. And he was equally
pleased at the warm seconding that
welcome received trom the other
workers. At once they mad* their
former toss' son feel t at home
among them, and they civgetly show
ed him the details nt his new work.
At first, they welcomed Tom ha

presently they found themselves

father’s popularity and magnetic
power.over men. He also inherited
his father's warn heart and friend*

Inside a year Torn Clark was hr
all odds the most popular man In
the mills, and he was by far the
cleverest and quickest workman on
his floor. He advanced rapidly,
and he well earned every advance.
Old Joe (tarr grew to tegard him
almost as a son.
Before that first year was out, too,

young people to each other.
Torn, as he turr.ed to acknowl
edge ihe Introduction, found him
'elf looking down :nto quite the

ever hohe'd. Vaguely, too, he notej
that the eyes wore set in a daintily

an adorable expression of Interest.
Something seomed to tug thrlll-
Ingly nt Tom Clsrk’s hitherto Im
mune hrart. Completely to his own
surprise, he found that he had fall
rn victim to that mystically poetic
malady known a "love st first

Edna Carr, too. felt an unaccount
able stirring at her heartstrings at
this first meeting with the man of
whom he had heard ao much from
father Already, from heart’'g of
Tom’s story, she hid Invested young
Clark withal! the attributes of a

looks, his magnetic personality and

with his very evident admlraUon of

Joe Carr, well pleased, looked on
THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
“Water May Be Free, But Baths Are Not!” Paula Tells
Margie!
‘‘After Jane hud gone, Margie,”
continued Paula. "I began to un

less pleased when Tom asked leave

the next few months, the youth was

F-ove had dawned, and courtship
was quick to follow —an ardently
adoring »waln’s wooing of a girl
who met hh loverly advances half
way
It was very sweet, very Innocent,
very blissful, this love affair. Both
Tom and Edna were terribly In
earnest. With each It was a first
love, as well as love at first eight.
Tom did not actually propose, be
cause lie was not yot earning
enough money to add the expense
of a wife's support to that of a sla
ter and a mother. But he worked
all the harder at the mills, In order
to it to a position with & salary

pointed a man who had won an en
viable record for efficiency in un
other city’s -nil’s. -HU name was
Agncw Graham. In age lie was
about 35. He had a reputation for
slave driving and for w ringing from
the mills a list of results that were
highly gratifying to the stockhold
er*. Concerning his personal char
acter, some rather unsavory stories
were adrift. But the directors wen
out for results, not pertonal up

At first glance, Tom Clark dlslik
ed the new superinterdent. The
man seemed to him overdressed,
domineering, coarsely handsome
and with a look that filled Tom with
a vaguely hostile distrust.
And within n month there was
n<*t a man In ary department of the
mills who did not Indorse »very un
pleasant thought that Ton had ever
had about the new boas. Indeed,
Graham wus probably the l est hated
mill superintendent In theytate.
He worked the men cruelly hard:
he was forever nagging at them and
blaming their and docking their
wages for Imaginary delinquencies
He showed plainly that he regarded
them as a bred of animal utterly in

taken the extra half hour sleep tn
the morning Instead of the bath that
my parched skin needed -and you
know I was called the daintiest girl
In the school.
It Is very different, however,
when you have someone to prepare
your tub in the perfect bathroom
and lay out towels and perfume and
scented soap, from taking A sponge
bath with a small bowl of water and
coarae soap and coarser towel*.
’’lf. as someone has said, ’Cleanli
ness is next to godliness,* then It
does seem to me that some of these
good people who are always preach
ing about keeping one’s soul dean
and bright should pay a little more
attention to the bodies of human
ity.
’’And then the food—oh, Margie, I
hope you will never have to live on
the food I have had to eat. Truly,
I have had to recourse to a hand
ful of dates, a few nutmeats and an
apple, because the person who cook
goes to another town to wrk end
ed the food at my cheap boarding
house absolutely spoiled It.
’’lsn't It queer that most of us
take so little care of this wonder
ful machine we call our body. We
seem almost to take delight In abus
ing It In every way possible, and
then we are surprised when some
times It rebels and pays us hack
In our own coin.
”1 shall never forget that first
night In that little hall bedroom and
that first breakfast In the smelly
dining room —and yet the woman
who kept the house was a kindly
soul. Hhe did not know how to
make the best of what she had.
"I would not let myself get hope
less. however, and Immediately after
breakfast I started out to find the
theatrical manager I know.”

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME
Buster Bear Has No Luck
<Copyright. 191%. oy T. W. Burge**.)
By THORNTON W. BUROEB9.
Three tlmee I've turned upon my tall
And croeaed my ton*, hut still I fail
To win from Lurk my simple wt»h
For Just one single little ilsli.
As he said this Buster bear sat
and stared into the laughing
Brook with wrinkled brows. He
had set out that morning to get
fish for breakfast, and because he
had set his heart on fish nothing
else would do. You know, Buster
Bear is sometimes what is called
pigheaded—that Is. be starts to do
a thing, and no matter what hap
pens he persists in trying to do It.
He had started out for Ash that
morning, and fish he would have or
else go hungry. Now, everybody
knows that it Is of no use to try to
drink from an empty pall, and every
fisherman knows that It Is of no
use to fish when the flah have gone
away from their favorite places.
Buater Bear knew that for some un
known reason there were no trout
In the little shallow pools where he
does hla fishing Os course, he
didn’t know this when he Htartcd
out that morning, but it didn't take
him a great while to find It out. Not
so much eb a glimpse of a fln or tall
had Buster had, and he had fol
lowed the laughing Brook almost
to the place where it leaves the
Green Forest on Its way to the Smil
ing Pool in the Green Meadows.
And Just because he couldn’t have
fish Buater wanted fish more than
anything else In the world. People
are that way sometimes. So Buster
persisted in wandering along the
laughing Brook, hoping that luck
would turn. Fishermen, you know,
are great believers In luck, and
Buster is like the rest. That Is why
he said that foolish little verse at
the beginning of this story. Os
course, he knew It was all foolish
ness to turn around three times and
to cross hla toes, and when he did
these things he looked around first
to make sure that no one would see
him. And, of course, his luck didn’t
change. You see. there Isn’t any
such thing as that kind of luck. No
matter what happens, there Is a
cause, a reason for It. The reason
Buster Bear saw no fish that tine
morning was that there were no fish

there was deeper and cooler than In
