Ou thu Juno dny before Ills twenty Blxth birthday I'ncton put things up ,to himself straight from the shoulder. At his age n man who can't more than support himself should begin to think. Something was wrong and he knew It. What set him with a Jar on his men tal feet was nothing but the chanco re mark of n slip of a girl. She stood back of the ilbbon counter lu tho next department and one day this Is what he heard her say In her gcntlo, wear' voice to tho lllpputit-lookltig girl who stood next to her. "Of courso wo nro not happy! Why should we bo? Wo are In tho wrong place. A store at six a week Is no place for n girl. Wo ought to bo at homo learning how to sow and cook. )a you aupposo I don't know that? At least 1 never He to myself. I bavo no homo, so I havo to lo this nirtl while 1 do It I unlit myself for ever having u homo of my own. The kind of man 1 want would bo crazy to thlhk of mar Tying me. I'm tired and Ignorant, and a few ears of this will ruin my health." Pacton had purposely lin gered to listen. Mulsle, thu other girl, gave a laugh. "Don't croak so. Wo have somo fun, anyhow, while It lasts." "It Isn't fun," said Ituth Fllmore, the first girl. "You know it Isn't. It's llko a fever sort of wild overwork and then tho wrong kind of cheap amusement. Everything wo havo is eountcrfolt, from tho rooms we cull homo to tho things wo call amuse ment Only tho work Is real, and It's tho wrong work and too much of it. You know It." Finding himself unnoticed Pacton turned where ho could better wntch this girl. Ho had not thought much about her before. She waB small, straight, with grave, deep blue eye3 and smootli dark hair. Sho looked jgood. Again Malslo laughed. ' "You'ro duo to get married," sho scoffed. "Not for mlno! My sister married, and sho worries moro about money than when Bho clerked. And ho has a man and three babies to worry for. Ho works hard, but ho barely makes a very poor living. And vho's thin and cross. I hato to look at her. She can't even "rest Sunduys, or go to a dance, or to a movie-show Hho can't spare tho dlmo. Not for mine!" Then came the speech that sot Pac ton to thinking. Ruth said In her slow way: "There's no excuso for a man's half starving. Your sister married a clerk. A clerk Isn't a man. Why doesn't he as a man get a real man's job? Any thing's better than this. A man can handlo a shovel or drivo an engine, or got a piece of ground and raise po tatoes. No real man," she finished with utter contempt, "would stay In tho sort of work that keeps him barely nblo to pay his board nnd have a few cigarettes on Clio side ns a luxury!, A mnn that can't support at leaBt one human being beside himself Isn't a man!" Having finished her speech sho turned to wait on her first cus tomer. It wus early In tho morning and raining. Pacton betook himself to his own post and began handling the serges. But all day ho thought of tho shovel, the englno, tho patch of ground. Somo how tho girl's words hnd stung deep. Tho next day ho carao along to TVTIbs Ruth Fllmore's counter on some protoxt, hoping Bho would remember that they had met as ho knew they had, some months before. Ho recalled It distinctly. Sho merely spoke pleas antly nnd turned away to her work. Ho walked off. She had no respect for him, he thought. He began to put things straight to himself. Ho was Just supporting him self, and laying almost nothing by. In five years ho got out his bank book. Ho had $225.75 to .his credit. This shamed him deeply. A man can conquer a situation, be conquered by It or ho can smnBh something nnd get out of It. Fred Pacton decided that. After much thought ho saw that ho would never do anything worth whllo In depart ment store work ho merely got a small ralso each year. Ho didn't real ly lovo his work. Thero lay tho trou hlo. Ho was In tho wrong work. And ho had nothing to work for. Ho was 8olfish. On thnt Juno day before Tie was ;twenty-slx ho rushed out of the store ,at closing time, ato something at tho first placo ho pasecd, and started out for a long walk. Ho wnlked to, tho dgo of the small mid western city; ho walked out farther, past tho llttlo (rows of cottages, all nllko with a patch iof ground about each, and on out Into the real country. It was u long time- slnco he had been In tho real country. As he snt on a fallen trunk bo saw a man drive somo sort of nn englno down tho road, and ho remembered Ruth's speech. Something was wrong with tho machine, nnd tho man had hitched three horses to it, nnd was hnvlng a bad thno with them, ehouting and making a great ado. Presently ho spied Pacton und gave a yell nt him. "Say, follow, como over hero and help mo out!" ' Pacton went at n run. Ho led tho horses, then ho mounted tho englno and helped fix something thuro. Ho igot tired and hot and greasy. Ho 'ruined lls clothes, but by dark ho had 'made a good frlond and had a glimpse of a new life. Ho would not luno bullcud It-but vlw machinery Intel estetl him, he found ho had nn Instinct about horses- nnd he was htarved almost to death. The man took him ln(o hh small house, Intro duced him to his trim wife nnd four rosy children, nnd together they snt down to n kitchen tablo and ato such a meal as Pacton had not eaten slnco boyhood. That wns Friday night Pacton reached town late at night nnd got little sleep; ho hated tho store with great vlolcnco all Snturduy and at closing tlmo he went to tho manager nnd tired himself. Tho manager didn't scorn to mind. Ho said "All right What you going to do?" Pacton said ho didn't know yet, took his pay envelopo nnd suld good night. Then ho seized bis hat und started for the door, but thought better of It nnd walked down the nlslo to'get a glimpse of Ruth. Some how ho couldn't get rid of tho thought of, her. Ho saw her going out, trim nnd tired, nnd made a dash after her. llo overtook hor on tho street, nnd sho bowed pleasantly but inquiringly, nnd stopped short. Kvldently sho had no Intention of letting him walk on with her. and resentment surged up within him. Ho stammered: "I wanted to any good-by. I am lenvlng tho store I thought " but somehow he felt thnt It was uothiu;; to her, and grow cilmson to tho roots of his thick, fair hntr. Ills good brown eyw grow shy, and her sur prized gaze rested on him. Sho made u llttlo motion to leave him. "Good-by I am soi ry you nro lenv lng." Then she Hushed for she real ized thnt sho was not telling tho truth. Ho knew It, too. It madu him n little rough "Don't try to bo polite," ho snkl. "You don't enro at all! I am onVy telling you because I heard what you said about a real mnn finding a man's Job. It set mo to thinking. And nftor I thought 1 fired myself. I didn't know what nlled me until right now. You bettor let mo walk with you a block or two wo mustn't Btand hero." Sho foil Into Btcp beside him. "I won't bother you long. Well, what .alls mo la thnt I am ashamed. I'm going to get to doing something real. Rut some thing else bigger than that Is tho mat ter. I'm In love with you. I found It out three minutes ngo. You desplBo mo. Hut I lovo you anyhow. I am going to ask you to wait for me until September. I won't como nenr you un til then then " Looking down he saw her lip tremble, nnd her face flash. "You had better go away this min ute," she said. "I can't muke prom ises please go!" Sho was bo vehe ment that ho turned nnd left her. On tho first day of September a brown, thin, serious-faced young man wnlked into tho store nenr closing time nnd found the ribbon counter. Tho girl behind It looked up, and thun went a llttlo whiter than sho was be fore. Fred Pncton went up and spoko to her. "I want to walk homer with you. You can't refuse mo," ho said. Her lips moved and sho smiled a little, and his heart almost stopped. Wus she ill? Sho looked agile and pa thetic. A half hour later the two were on tho street together. Ho led her to a cafe, thoy had something to eat, and ns they finished he leaned over tho tablo. Ills glance claimed her, ndored her. "Ruth," ho said eagerly. "I had n llttlo money and I made somo pay ments on a llttlo place In tho coun try. I've learned to ubo a shovel and an engine, too. A fellow I got ac quainted with has taken mo in with him. We'vo been doing grading and all sorts of things. There's money in it and an outdoor life. I'm on tho way to bo a real man. I can tnko care of myself and you, too. Don't you see that I can? I take to rough work like a duck to water. I was built for It. You helped me find myself by your crlticisni of men such nB I was. Now you must finish tho Job. Don't you see you must? I need you and you need mo I havo to have something to work for I need a home and any how I lovo yoti. It seems as it I had always loved you." His voice was very quiet, so quiet that the host of eaters about them paid no nttcntlon. Ruth sat looking at him, and sud denly leaned over and spoko with something like anger In her volco. "You nro crazy to think you want mo I'm not fit for 'you! I'm tlrod nnd wenk, and I don't know anything nbout a home but I knew I cared that night when I mndo you leave mo on tho ttreet Didn't you know I cared?" Tho mnn opposite gave her a look that even a waiter could not havo misunderstood. He roso and took hor away with him. (Copyright, 1913. by tho McCIure News paper Syndicate) Big Lobster Fight Man.
