CHAPTER IV Continued.
Forltinntc fntc, or whatever Rood
angel It Is Hint sometimes drops un
expected favors, designed tlint young
Eldcn should the following dny deliver
conl tit Hie home of Mr. Mclvln Dun
cnti. Mr. Duncan, tall, pilet nnd forty
Ave, wns at work In Ids garden as
Davo turned the team In the lane and
backed tlicin up the long, narrow drive
connecting with the family coal chute.
As tho heavy wagon moved straight
to Its objective Mr. Duncan looked on
with approval that heightened Into
admiration. Dave shoveled his load
without remark, hut as he stood for
a moment at the finish, wiping the
Hwcnt from his coal-grimed face, Mr.
Duncan engaged him In conversation.
"You handle n team like you were
born to It," he said. "Where did you
get the knack?"
"Well, I came up on a ranch," said
Dave. "I've lived with horses ever
since I could remember."
"You're a rancher, eh?" queried the
older man. "Well, there's nothing like
the range and the open country. If I
could handle horses like you ' there
Isn't anything would hold me In town."
"Oh, I don't know," Dave answered.
"You might get sick of It."
"Did you get sick of It?"
Eldcn shot a keen glance at him.
The conversation was becoming per
sonal. Yet there wns In Mr. Duncan's
manner a certain kindliness, n certain
appeal of sincere personality, that dis
armed suspicion.
"Yes, I got sick of It," he snld. "1
lived on that ranch eighteen years
and never was inside school or church.
Wouldn't that mukc you sick? . . .
8o I heat It for town."
"And I suppose you are attending
church regularly now, and night
chool, too?"
Dave's quick temper flrcd up In re
sentment, but again the kindliness of
the man's manner disarmed htm. Lie
was silent for u moment, and then he
aid:
"No, I ain't. That's what makes me
sick now. I came In here Intendln' to
get an educutlon, an' I've never got
even a start at It, cxccc' for some
things perhaps wasn't worth the
money. There always seems to be
somothln' else In ahead."
I "Thcio ulwnys will be," said Mr.
Duncan, "until you start."
"But how's It to he done?" Dave
questioned with returning Interest.
"Schools an' books cost money, an' I
never save a dollar."
"And never will," said Mr. Duncan,
"until you start. But I think I see a
plan thut might help, nnd If It nppeals
to you it will also be u great conven
ience to me. My wife likes to go driv
ing Sundays, and somctlmos on a
weekday evening, but I have so many
tilings on blind I llml It hard to get
out with her. My daughter used to
drive, but these ncw-fnngled automo
biles arc turning the world upside
down and many a buggy with It.
Well as I saw you driving In here 1
said to myself, 'There's the man for
that Job of mine, If I can get him;'
but I'm not rich and I couldn't pay
you regular wages. But if I could
square the account by helping with
your studies a couple of nights a
week I used to tench school and
haven't altogether forgotten why,
that would be Just what 1 want. What
do you Bay?"
"I never saw anything on four foot
I couldn't drive," snld Dave, "an' If
you're willing to take n chance 1 am.
When do we start?"
"First lesson tonight. Second les
son Thursday tilgljt. First drive Sun
day." Mr. Duncan did not Cixpluln
that he wanted to know the boy better
before the drives commenced, and he
felt that two nights together would
satisfy hi in whether he had found the
right inai).
Dave hurried back to the coalyard
and completed the day's work In high
spirits. It seemed ho was nt last
started on a rond that might lead
somewhere. After supper ho sur
prised his fellow laborers by changing
to his Sunday clothes and starting
down a street leading Into the residen
tial part of tho town. There wore
speculations that ho had "seen u
skirt."
Mr. Duncan met him nt tho door and
showed blm Into tho living room.
Mrs. Duncan, plump, motherly, lov
able In tho mature womanliness of
forty, greeted blm cordially. She was
sorry Edith was out ; Edith had a ten

deeply Interested In the young man
who was to be her coaeliman. Dave
had never been In n home like this,
nnd his eyes, unaccustomed to coin
foi'tahle furnishings, appraised them
as luxury. He soon found himself talk
ing with Mrs. Duncan about horses,
and then about his old life on the
ranch, and then about coming to town.
Almost before he knew It be bad told
her about iteenle Hardy, but be had
checked himself In time. And Mrs.
Duncan had noticed It, without com
ment, and realized that her guest was
not a boy but a man.
Then Mr. Duncan talked about gar
dening, and from that to Date's skill
In backing Lis team to the coal chute,
and from that to coal Itself. Dave had
shoveled coal all winter, but be had
not thought nliout' coal except as
something to be shoveled and shov
eled. And as Mr. Duncan explained
to him the wonderful provisions of mi
ni re how she had stored away In the
undiscovered lauds billions of tons of
coal, holding them In reserve until the
world's supply of timber for fuel
should be Hearing exhaustion, nnd as
he told of the Immeasurable wealth of
this great new land in coal resources,
and of how the wheels of the world,
tralllc nnd Industry and science, even,
were dependent upon coal and the
man who handled the coal, Dave felt
bis breast rising with u sense of the
dignity of Ids calling. lie had had to
do with this wonderful substance nil
winter, and not until tonight had It
fired the divine spnrk of his Imagina
tion. The time ticked on, and although
lie wns eager to be nt work ho nlmost
dreaded the moment when Mr. Duncan
should mention his lesson. Hut be
fore that moment came there was a
ripple of laughter at the door, and n
girl In tennis costume nnd n young
man n little older than Dave entered.
"Edith." said Mrs. Duncan.
Dave arose and shook hands. Then
Mr. Allan Forsyth wns Introduced.
Mr. Forsyth shook bonds heartily, but
Dnve was conscious of being caught In
one quick glance which embraced blm
from head to heel. And the glance
wns sntlsllcd sclf-satlsfled. It was
such a glance as Dave might give n
horse when he would say, "A good
horse, but I can handle him," It wns
evident from that glance that Forsyth
hnd no fear of rivalry from thnt qunr
ter. And having no fear he could af
ford to be friendly.
Dave had no distinct remembrance
of whnt happened Just nfter that, but
he was conscious of nn overwhelming
desire to bear Miss Duncan slug. How
rtn
i
How Like Reenle She Wasl
like Iteenle she wus I And Just ns he
wns beginning to think Mr. Duncan
must surely hnvo forgotten his lesson
he beard her asking him If she should
sing. And then he saw Forsyth at the
piano why couldn't he leave her to
do It herself, the butt-In? and then
he henrd her fine, silvery voice rising
In the notes of that song about the
land where the sun should never go
down, . . . And suddenly he know
how1 lonely, how terribly, terribly
lonely he wns. Aiid lie snt with head
bowed, that they might not know. . . .
And then there were other songs,
and at last Mrs. Duncan, who hud
slipped away unnoticed, returned with
n silver teapot nnd cups of dellcnto
chlnn, nnd sandwiches nnd cake, and
they sat about and ate and drank nnd
talked and laughed. And when lie
looked ut his watch It wns eleven
o'clock I
"I guess we didn't get nny lesson
I tonight," he said us he shook bands
witn Mr. uuncan ut the sidewalk.
"1 urn not so sure," replied his tutor.
"The first thing for you to learn Is
Unit nil learning does not come from
books. A good listener can learn ns
much us a good reader If he listens
to the right kind of people." And ns
Dave walked homo the thought deep
ened In him thnt It really hud been a
lesson, nnd that Mr. Duncan had In
tended It that wuv. And ho wondered
what remarkable fortune had been his.
The ulr was full of tho perfume or
balm o' (illead. and his feet were light
with the Joy of youth. And ho thought
much of Kdllh and of Iteenle llnrdy.
In subsequent lessons Dave was rap
Idly Initiated Into many matters be
sides parlor manners and conversa
tion. Mr. Duncan placed tho first und
greatest emphasis upon learning to
write and to write well. They had
many philosophic dlscusslotis, In which
tho elder mun sought to lead the
i i W 4p
ii mfffjy r" patsse
younger to tho acceptance of trutaa
that would not fall him In the strata
of after life, and when a conclusloa
had been agreed upon It wns Mr. Dun
can's habit to embody It In a copy for
Dave's writing lesson.
As soon ns Dave had learned to rond
a little Mr. Duncan took him one dny
to the public library, nnd the young
umn groped In niniizciueiit up nnd
down the great rows of books. Pres
ently a strange sense of Inadcquatc
ness came over him. "I can never
read all of those hooks, nor half of
them," he said. "I suppose one must
read them In order to be well In
formed." Mr. Duncan appeared to chnnge the
subject. "You like fruit?" he asked.
"Yes, of course. Why "
"When you go Into a fruit store do
you stand nnd say, 'I can never cat
all of that fruit, crates and crates of
It, and carloads more In the ware
houo?' Of course you don't. You
eat enough for the good of your sys
tem and let It go at that. Now Just
apply the same sense to your reading.
Head as much as you can think about,
nnd no more. The trouble with ninny
of our people Is thut they do not rend
to think but to save themselves the
trouble of thinking. The mind, left to
Itself, Insists upon nctlvlty. So they
chlntoform It."
Dave's talks with Mr. Duncan be
came almost nightly occurrences, ei
ther at the Duncan home or when he
drove the family for the master of
the house often nccompanled them
or when they met downtown, ns fre
quently happened. And the boy was
not slow to realize the broad naturo
of the task to which Mr. Duncan had
set himself. Ills education was to be
built of every knowledge and experi
ence that could go Into the rounding
of n well-developed life.
The climax tecmed to bo reached
when Mr. Duncan Invited Dave to ac
company him to a dinner nt which a
noted thinker, Just crossing the con
tinent, had consented to speak.
"It will be evening dress," snld Mr.
Duncan. "I suppose you are hardly
fitted out thnt way?"
"I guess not," said Dnve, smiling
broadly. Ho recalled the half-humorous
sarcasm with which the Mctford
gnug referred to uny who might be
seen abroad In their "Hereford
fronts." He had a sudden vision of
himself running the gantlet of their
ridicule.
But Mr. Duncan wus continuing.
"I think I can fix you up," he said.
"We must be pretty nearly of a size,
and I have n spare suit." And almost
before he knew It It was arrunged that
Dave should attend the dinner.
It wns an eventful night for blm.
Ills shyness sooti wore off, for during
these months he had been learning to
accept tiny new experience gladly.
And us he sat among this company
of the best minds of the town he felt
that a new world was opening before
him. Ills good clothes seemed to work
up in some wuy through his subcon
sciousness nnd give him u sense of ca
pability. He was in the mental at
mosphere of men who did things, und
by conforming to their customs he
had brought his mind into harmony
with theirs, so that It could receive
suggestions, nnd who knows? return
suggestions. And he wus mude to
think, think, think.
CHAPTER V.
TJic summer wns not fur gone when
Dave, through an Introduction fur
nished by Mr. Duncan, got a new Job.
It wus In the warehouse of u whole
sale grocery, trundling cases und
sacks of merchandise. It was cleaner
than handling coal, and the surround
ings were more congenial aud the
wages wero better fifty dollurs a
mouth to begin.
"The first thing is to get out of the
deadline," snld Mr. Duncan. "I am
not hoping thut you will have found
destiny in u wholesale warehouse, but
you must get out of the deadline. As
long as you shovel coal you will shovel
coal. And you aro not capable of
anything better uu II you think you
nre."
"But I've liked It pretty well," said
Dave. "As long ns I wus Just work
ing for my wage It wus dull going,
but It was different ufter I got to see
thut even shoveling coal was worth
wlille. 1 suppose it Is the same with
groceries, or whatever one does. As
soon us you begin to study what you
bundle, the work loses Its drudgery.
It Isn't a man's Job that makes him
sick of Ids Job; It's what he thinks
of his Job."
A light of satisfaction wns In his
toucher's eyes us Dave mnde this an
swer. Mr. Duncan hnd realized thut
he was starting Into with this pupil,
and If there were any short cuts to
education he must find them. So lie
had set out deliberately, to Instil the
Idea that educutlon Is not n mutter of
schools nnd colleges, or courses of
rending, or formulae of any kind, but
u mntter of tho five senses applied to
every experience of life. And ho knew
that nothing wus coarse or common
that passed through Dave's hands.

Mending the Gloves.
Uso cotton thread for mending kid
