Barren ffi TnE Sheridan building was the biggest skyscraper, the- Sheri dan Trust company, the big gest bank, and Sheridan himself, the biggest builder and broker, and truster and buster under the smoke of a dirty and wonderful midland city that piled tower on tower and spread itself out over the plain of a fair country. Bibbs Sheridan wns his "odd one;" the family failure. Ho grew up only lengthwise, and at twenty-two was the dry scaffolding of n man. Six months in liis father's pump works made nec essary two years In n sanitarium. Ho returned to the "new house" on the outskirts of the city in time for the house-warming party. To this camo Mary Vertrees, whose family next door maintained the highest air of respect ability upon a vanishing fortune. She came under home promptings that led her to dazzle with her wit and beauty both Sheridan and James Sheridan, Jr. When young Jim hnd proposed, Mrs. Itoscoc Shorhlnn, his slster-in-lnw, of fered to help Mary In return for help in an affair of her own. Mary saw that In bartering, she was to bo bar tered with, ner soul rebelled and she declined to marry young Jim Sheri dan. He never got the letter. Sheridan demanded of Bibbs if he would quit dreaming of poetry and follow with Koscoe nnd Jim to make the business nnd the city bigger. Bibbs could not understand why anybody wanted to make things bigger. "Damnation I" roared Sheridan. "Did you ever hear the word 'pros perity 1' You ninny I Did you ever hear the word 'ambition I' Did you ever hear the word 'progress 1' Look at Jim, just completing two more big warehouses at the pump works In half the time the contractors wanted. Jim took the contract himself, found a fel low with a new cement process and we begin using them next week. Now, I'm goln' to make n man of you. By God i I am t" And Bibbs wns given two months to get his mental attitude right for the pump works. Miss Vertrees' note went to the senior Sheridan, as that afternoon one of the new warehouse walls collapsed sending the Inventor and James Sheri dan, Jr., to their eternity. Bibbs hnd to manage the funeral and ride from the cemetery with Mary Vertrees, but neither spoke. "He's not insane," said Mary to her mother. "He looks dreadfully ill, but has pleas ant eyes." Later Bibbs and Mary met ns he was passing her gnte. He apologized : "I I hate a frozen fish myself, and that three miles was too long for you to put up with one. I'vo never been nble to speak quickly, because- It I tried I'd stammer." Instantly, Mary saw his nature and suffering. They walked on and she invited him into the church to henr some Handel music. It meant, sho said, one thing above nil others to her courage. Thereafter Bibbs went often to the home of Mary Vertrees. "You see," he confided to her, "It is all so simple. I-nm to feed long strips of zinc into steel jaws that bite it Into llttlo cir cles, G8 n minute. I used to flinch and tho workmen laughed." "It shn'n't hurt you," exclaimed Mary. "All day long, I'll send my thoughts to you; and you must re member that a friend stands beside you." Trouble grow In tho Sheridan house hold, ltoscoe took to drink ; then quit. He hnd enough a few thousand a year. Shorhlnn sent for Bibbs, his only hope, offered him vlco presidencies, snlnrles and shares; but Bibbs pre ferred happiness and nlno dollars a week. "What's tho ur,o." ho said, "of being just bigger, dirtier and noisier?" That evening Bibbs and Mary read Maeterlinck together nnd he told her: "Tomorrow, I'm one of tho hands of the pump works nnd going to stay one, unless I am thrown out and decide to study plumbing." "Why not give Bibbs a chance to live?" said the family doctor. "There's something finer In Bibbs than his phy sical body. You're half mad with a consuming fury against tho very self of law. But you want to beat tho law! So AJax defied the lightning!" "Yes! And, by God, I will!" cried Sheridan. "AJax was a Jackass. If he'd been half a man he'd 'a' got nwny with It; hitched it up nnd mado It work for him llko a black steer. I'll have my way with that stubborn fool, Bibbs." But Bibbs still snld, "No." Sundny nfternoon Bibbs was work ing over a poem, ne might venture It upon an editor and perhnps Then paper and pencil dropped as ho stood up paralyzed. Through his half-open door ho heard Mrs. Itoscoo Sheridan confiding to Mother Sheri dan: "Tho Vertrees' houso has been sold on foreclosure; thoy nro allowed to live there n llttlo longer." "Mr. Vetfroea haB been trying to got a 'po sition.' " "They hnvo been 'Joinp their own cooking." "Those people were so hard up that Miss Vertrees started after Bibbs beforo they knew whether ho wns Insane or not." "Sho had to get him." "If he'd stop to think, lio'd know ho wasn't tho kind of a man any girl would bo apt to fall In love with.'1 Bibbs quickly burned pnpers and notebooks, descended and told his fa ther: "I'll tnko tho Job you offered me," and went straight to Mary Ver trees nud said: "Will you mnrry me?" Mary drew it all out of Bibbs ; then sank down kneeling, tenrs overwhelm ing her. "I can't make it plain," said Blhbs, "I never drenmed I could do anything for you! I knew you never thought of me except generously to give." "We were poor, nnd I think I did mean to marry your brother. But something stopped mo from such a sacrilege. I posted the letter, but he never got it." "You kept mo nllvo and I've hurl you like this," said Bibbs. "Could you forgive me, Mary?" "Oh, a thousand times! But there's nothing to forgive nnd you mustn't come to see me any more," she cried In a passion of tenrs. "Never, never, never 1" Ho returned in time to tell his sister-in-law in the presence of tho fam ily: "I proved what you said to mo, and disproved whnt you said of Miss Vertrees. I asked her to marry me and she refused." Bibbs went with his father and sat In the porcli of tho temple with the money-changers; worked and talked of nothing hut work. Ho delved into the ways of tho cltj and Its political Influence, nnd began to buy Intertrnctlon shares where the Vertrees' fortune had vanished. Soon tho Vertrees were nble to pnj the butcher, hire a cook, and follow the broker's advice to keep the bal ance of their stock. Shorhlnn boasted that his plan for Bibbs was working out all right. Still thore was some thing wrong nnd the doctor nnd Sherl dnn agreed that it might be n good thing if Miss Vertrees would permit Bibbs to see her sometimes. "I had to make Bibbs go iny way," Sheridan explained to Miss Vertrees, "but there Isn't anything in it to him. He gave up everything ho wanted and took the job he never would just for you. There's only one girl he could feel that sorry for. Can't you let him come back?" When Mary responded: "I can't! Ho wns only sorry for mo": the truth wns out. "Don't don't " sho cried. "You mustn't " "I won't tell him. I won't tell nny body anything," snid Sheridan. On a crowded downtown thorough fare Mary saw Sheridan, at the risk of his life, spring beforo a moving trolley car and with the whole forca of his big body shunt Blhbs from im pending danger. The crowd had shriek, ed warnings, but Bibbs had looked the wrong way. nigh up In the Sherldnn building, Bibbs snt down, slinking and sore. He realized that his father held his own life of no account compared to that of his son. Bibbs perceived what he had never perceived before tho shadowing of something enormous, indomitable, Inwlcss, Irresistible nnd blindly noble. He looked out Into tho vnst foggy heart of tho smoke. Tho ronr of tho city bent upon Bibbs' enr until ho began to distinguish a pul sation; tho voice of the god, Bigness. "Come nnd work for me, all men! By your youth nnd your hope, I summon you! By your ago nnd your dcspnlr! By your love of home and woman and children! You shall be blind slaves. For rewnrd you shall gnze only upon my ugliness." Then, the voice came ns somo mu sic struggling to be born of tho Tur moil. "It is man who makes mo ugly by Ids worship of me. If man would let me serve him I should be beauti ful." From the vague contortions of smoke and fog, Bibbs sculptured a gigantic figure with feet pcdestalled upon the great buildings nnd shoulders disap pearing In the clouds, a colossus of steel, wholly blackened with soot. lie thonght up over the clouds unseen from below the giant labored with his hands In the clenn sunshine; and Blhbs Imaged what he mado there perhnp. for n fellowship of the children of tho children that were children now n no ble and Joyous city, unbelievably white The telephone fiercely summoned him. A startilngly beautiful voice caused him to tremble violently. "Yes Bibbs, I wns near tho accident. Tiiej snld you lindn't been hurt, but I want ed to know." "Mnry would you would you have minded?" There was a long pnuso and a soft, "Yes." "Then why, oh, why, won't you let me sco you? I'vo been llko a man chained In a cave." "But, Bibbs dear, you don't under stand why." "Mnry," ho cnllcd, even more tremu lous thnn beforo, "you can't mean It was because you care. If you meant that you would let mo see you, wouldn't you?" And now the voice wns so lo ho couldn't bo sure it Bpoko at nil, and if it did, tho words were, "Yes, Bibbs denr." But tho voico was not In tho Instru ment, It wns so gcntlo and so light, so almost nothing, It seemed to bo madq of air and to fall from henven. Slowly Sind Incredulously ho turned and looked up and glory fell npon hla shining eyes. Mary stood upon tin threshold. CopyrlKht, Mlf. by Tost Publlahlnir Co. (The Iloaton Poit.)
