It is possible to do that even In this ago of cruel com petition and the unrelenting pressure of necessity upon our heels. The woman's thoughts would turn from a conversation ;about tho sewing circle, apout her sister's orphaned children, about the weather, about tho last tidbit of neighborhood scandal, to the- subject of her bank ac count. People had begun to look sig nificantly at each other when some one broached economy. A too frank neighbor told her she was hipped on tho subject, and another neighbor's governess talked of "obsession." Thero was much-reason for the woman being Interested In economy. Ilex long life had been a toil some one. She had had, by way of a horrible example, a spendthrift father, You Can Begin This Great Story To-day by Reading This First riilllp Anson Is a boy of 15 years, at fine education and good breeding, but an orphan and miserably poor. The story opens with the death of his mother, killed virtually by sorrow over the death of her husband two years be fore, and subsequent want and sufftiring : Itlch relatives have deserted the family In their hour of need, and. whan his mother's death comes Philip is In de spair. He looks over his mother's letters and finds that he is related to Blr Philip Morland. A few days later a terrific thunderstorm brews over London.

She smiled to herself day was nearly over when one of tho girls Tho Gold Witch turned, and found horself the Ruts Onto New Roads the kind of a man who takes things so , easily that all the rest of the family had to take, them heavily to keep tho family, Including himself, out of the almshouse. This type was photographed in the once popular song "Everybody 'Works but Father." Yet years afterwards whan our own fortunes were established and wero further entrenched by a permanent habit of saving, the woman realized that tho pendulum had swung too far. Bho realized that the habit had become too deeply rooted, that Its root was a tap root, drawing from her conversation, her thoughts, her Interest In all else. Sho resolved to drive her mental wagon In new (racks. Sho knew that ono way to avoid thinking of a subject Is to stop talking about It. Blnca tho new year no one has heard her speak the word' "sav ins" nor heard a stnglo reference to her last savings bank deposit. Thero Is - no danger that she will swing to tho other extreme. The. thought paths aro too deeply worn to become Ineffaceable. "Nor 'would wp wish them to be. But they aro less often trayeled end closo bcsld,thcm ore faint, new thought tracks.

Passing out of tho square by the first eastward Street, Philip Anson, with his head erect and hands clinched In his pockets, strode, onward at a rapid pace. The lightning was less frequent now, and the thunder was dying away in sullen ble, and the storm was slowly subsiding, His mind was occupied with the des perate condition of his affairs. Ills mother bad been burled, and he was now alone in the world. Prospects could not bavo been darker for him, yot he did not feel discouraged. Something In his youth still held him up against hunger and cold and tho deadly weariness that came with them. "I must soon find employment," be Inwardly commented. Ills curt, discon nected answers bad lost him two places as an errand boy which he could easily have secured. His small stock of money, ridiculously depleted by the generosity With which he met the open hints of tho Undertaker's assistants, barely sufficed to keep him In food for a week Then he sought employment, but with such stiff upper Hp and haughty Indifference to success that ho unknowingly turned Now Read On , P P ?

Before tho end of the year tho thought tracks will be deeper, and If these tend to become too deep sho can drive out and form new ones. Tho best road Is tho wldo one, and the best mind Is that which responds readily to many themes. Another woman who hus been twloo married and twice divorced dwells con tinuously In thought upon tht Incon stancy of mon. She believes that too common trait Is universal. If sho Is a 'guest at a wedding, sho pities the bride because she sees her smile fading Into anguish nt tho bridegroom's prospectlvo unfalth.

Ho earned a few ine.nlH. hut In a fit of aberration Induced by the sight of a lady who was dressed In a costume similar to ono he remembered his mother wearing at Dleppo. ho allowed a bam to be stolen from the rear of the van. This procured his Instant dismissal with threats. Then ho sold newspapers, only o find that every good site was Jeal ously guarded hy a gang of roughs who mercilessly bullied any newcomer. Per sonal strength and courage were un availing against sheer numbers. His faeo was still swollen and his ribs sore us the result of being knocked down and kicked at Ludgato circus; at Charing cross next day he was hustled under- the wheels of an omnibus and narrowly es caped death. Bo )ia was driven Into the side streets and tho quiet squares, In which, during three of four days, he managed to earn an average of Mgbt pence dally, which be spent on food. Kach night he cropt back to tho poor tenement In Johnson's Mews, hU bleak "home" amidst the solitudo of empty stables and warehouses. Tho keeper of a coffeo stall, touched one night by his woebegone appearunce, gave him soma half-dried coffeo grounds In a paper, to gether with a handful of crusts, "Put arf that In a pint of water.'' he said, looking critically at the sodden mess 20, 1014.

This good Bnmarltan had repeated his gift on two occasions, and Philip had a fairly largo supply of small coul, sent tu his mother by the colliery company, so his position, dospcratq enough, was Just bearable had he but sought to accustom himself to the new conditions of life.

He was on the verge of lunacy, As ho passed through tho dark arch way leading to his abode tho desolate stable yard was fitfully lit by lightning, and In the dlstanco he heard the faint rumble of thundor.

By sheer force of habit he gathered together somo sticks and bits of paper and arranged them In the grate, But tho task was Irksome to him. It was absurd to seek any degree of comfort for the fow minutes ho had to llvo. Better end It at once. Moreover, tho storm was sweeping up over tbe Kast Knd with such marvelous speed that the light nlng now played through the t'ny room with daszlng brilliancy, and the wretched candle burned with blue and ghostlike feebloness. The cold of the house, too, began to strike chilly, He was so ex (minted from hunger that If be did not eat soon ho would not have the strength left to carry out hit dread purpose. He sprang erect with a mocking little laugh, picked up the candle, and the' piece of rope and climbed tbe stairs. IIo paused Irresolutely at tho top, but, yielding to an- overwhelming desire, went on and stood at the sldo of the bed on which his mother had died, He fancied u could sea her lying thero still, wl.tb a smile on her wan face and unspoken words of welcome on her lips.
