Those, folk who leave something fine and strong and sheltering nnd helpful where nothing wa before. The builders of bridges across di viding and discour aging streams, the builders of rail roads across dusty, unknown lands, tho builders of homes, nnd, most of all the builders of lives. Personally 1 hae never greatly ad mired writers. They lo the work they ian do anj most of them do It as well as they ian, but they do not leave something where nothing v,aa before. They write of what others have done. They are reflections of the light of others. A few there are who bulid a philosophy whereby men live and work and prosper. In those rare In stances writers are builders, and deserve the blessings of all grateful heails. A man may build a boat, an automo bile, a great industrial system. Sometimes we hear of building ti sown. Or he may not fashion something with nails or needle, but he muy organize : tho working forces of others and give j them direction, a the man who has ! built mills and provided work for thou sand pairs of bunds. i "Show me a imn who has done some- j thing," cried Kipling. Impatient of the i praise of a fellow craftsman of the ien, writing "of things as he saw them." J The man most worthy of admiration, of all I know. Is one who built a tunnol which had been pronounced hopeless. Men had begun to enll that tunnel "The Murderer." Tho bursting river had taken so many lives. It had broken so many fortunes Invested In it that men haj killed themselves. One had died when hope died. A broken heart who had lost his fortunes and that greater fortune, hope, had killed him. But this man, a long, lank, lean Kentucklan, with calm eyes in which dreams lay, said: "I believe I can build that tunnel." He tried. Ho tried more bravely and mightily than the other and ho succeeded. The nation so admired the man who built the ' hope less" Hudson tunnel that It elected him Its Kecretary of the treasury. Another man, rival with the first in my admiration, is a builder of towns. Ho la a man whom waste troubles. He saw great waste spaces near his home in Brooklyn. He wanted to see spaces covered with compactly built homes. He wanted pile of unsightly, drying soil transformed into neat lawns and flower and grass plots in front and garden plots in the back of houses. And what he dreamed he did. Never despise the dreamer. He is a builder before the deed. Thla man In his youth owned nothing besides his clothing, his health, and be neath his thntch of tow-coloroU hair, a inlnd of Ideas. A great death dealing blizsard overtook his city. The youth, i Issuing from an office building at the hour when office closed, tossed a last nickel In his palm. It was the last coin he had In the world, but he regarded It with a smile. "Mead l take a car home. Tails I have n cup of coffee and walk home." he said. He drank the cup of coffee and trudged home. And though others died 'in the fciorm he arrived at home after hours of fighting the great storm, his cheeks flushed, his fingers frostbitten at the tlp3, bt.t his eyea full of courage. Of course i sl'Ii a man did what he set about. He ri-elnimed half a dozen waste places on 1.0HK Ihlund. At least six towns that he culled into Ivlng regarded li'im as a father.

But he, Quns- These Modish Misses' Frocks at Little g I It at the Movfci. dorf. while the other rowed ' merrily off, would bo left to drown in the dark. In the first moment of reasoning it did not occur to him that the ehlp was on fire. Rather he thought that the moke waa some devilish device of the triumvirate to asphixlate him. From the easte.t cliffs, which received the onslaught of the open sea, Tommy and Celestla walked to those lower west ern cliff whose feet are washed by the less strenuous water which flow be tween Oull Island and tha malnlald. and here, sheltered from the wind, they seated themselves, ostensibly to admire the view, but really to admire each other. The view consisted of grey water, a vast expanse of It, in commotion, and of a vast expanse of sullen grey ky, and, many mile distant, a amall schooner beating slowly up to the Island. "They must be cooking a bonny break fast." said Tommy, "Judging from the moke." "Judging by the smoke," said Celestla, "they've got more than one tove." "By George, you are right!" said Tommy. Then, a moment later, with ex citement: "She' on fire. That' why the davit are swung outboard. They are waning till the last moment to lower a boat. Thank the Lord they've got one! uppose they want to get Into the lea of the Island. It must be pretty rough out there for a skiff. They're not making much headway, though. It look very low Jn the water. Probably leak like a sieve, and the fire keep them from get ting to the pump." "Can't we do anything to help?" "Not unleaa th launch ha com back from Bartell. It went over early for newspapers and supplies. I-ft's go see." Bo they raced off to the landing. The launch had not yet returned, and there wa neither eight nor sound of It. A cat boat without even a mast wa drawn up on way, and th only other craft at th landing waa a flat-bottomed klff, so low In th water that It could not hav lived In the rough water outside of the harbor. "We can't do any good." said Tommy with a great deal of regret In hi voice. "Lt hurry back and see the end of It." They stopped at the house for field glasses, of which ther wer several pairs in a drawer of the hall table, and hurried back to the western cliffs. In his exploration of the night before Qunsdorf had noted the sack of Urn raised from the floor of the hold to keep them from any chance water. And It dawned upon him It waa hi own fault that they had gotten wet and generated enough heat to ael the ship on fir. Captain Nye hail kept his courage up, and held grimly to the task of trying to make head against the fir and against the water rising In the hold. tlo Be Continued Tomorrow.!

"In a subway train I got up to wslk to the rear entrance, a the train wa slow ing down for a atop, and It wa just like struggling up a steep, rocky hill. I nearly fell over backward. I sup pose there is a scientific explana tion for this, ao please tell mo what it Is." Stranger In New York. If some modern physicists are right in their reasonings you were strug gling against tho I mutable demon called electricity in hi most mysteil ou form. What pushed you backward was the funda mental thing of the physical world In ertia ond Inertia ordinarily defined slm ply a resistance to motion, or to change of motion, is, according to the mathema-tico-ph.v steal philosopher Just referred to, an elect ro-magnetln phenomenon. But, putting uslde all these specula tions, which sometimes smack too much lrot metaphysics, we can find a perfectly clear explanation by considering Inertia according to Its plain, commonsense definition, a that quality of matter on account of which it requires force to change Its condition of rest or motion. If you stand red In a subway truln when It suddenly' starts you will be flung backward, !erau your body, by virtue of the property of Inertia 4 which la a kind of protest against Interference, anl the very type of conservatism), refuses to obey like a Uve the command of the autocratic motorman to Jump ahead. It prnposea to itself, on the contrary, to stay as It is. Hut. being connected to the floor of the train by its feet, its lower portion Is carried violently ahead, while the upper portion, still protesting and relu'tant. and struggling to main tain Its poaltlon In spare, finds It sup port nwept away from beneath by the forward motion, and, accordingly, falls over backward. In other words, the inertia of the feet is overcome more rapidly than that of the body U'cnuse they ate morn directly affected by th movement of the train. Friction holds them fast to the fioor, and they have to start at once. if, instead of being shaped like a lour cylinder, standing on end. your body had th form rf a cube, which Is not eal!y upeet. Its entire Inertia would ait aimul. taneouriy to resist moveim-m, t,nd you would slide backward on the fliwr until the iv'iiai,c bod bn overtoine.

This garment may be purchased, made to measurements of the Individual, for $35, but. made at ome for less. forward movement equal to thai of the train, has changed It Inertia of rest for Inertia of motion. The nature of the Inertia la the same In both cases; It is simply pure conservatism, or resistance to change. Having been compelled to set Itself going, your body now clings obstinately to the new state of things, and resents any effort either to stop Its motion, or to vary Its rate of moving. As hint, as the train la moving steadily at a fixed speed, you can rise and comfortably walk forward or backward, as you choose, because your movements Inside the train are independent of the train a own motion. You are sharing that mo- lon of the train. Just as you would be shurlng its state of rest If It were stand ing still, and In either case your walk ing about the floor la unimpeded. But, when you rise from your seat at the moment when the train la slowing down for a stop, you encounter again the effects of a change of elate resisted by Inertia. Your whole body is moving forward with the common motion of the train and U Its contents and Is res.si ing force, applied through the train brakes, which tend to top this motion. If, at this Instant, you erect your body upon the feet, the Utter, being more promptly affected by the retardation of the train, lose the forward motion qui kei than the upper part of the body does, and you pitch ahead In the direction of the original movement. In trying. In such circumstances, to walk toward the rear of th train you have to overcome The lodicatieaa Favor It. Liear Miss Fains.

If the former sweethaart's atten tions end with this, you must not quibble over the multer Harmless Gossip Ily nEATHICF. FAlItFAX. "With every death a reputation dies," doe add poetic license to truth, but un fortunately it has a superstructure of fart. Scandal most decent people ab hor, but everyone seems to have a secret hankering for "a little harmless gossip." When a group ot individual gathers together all talk about people or thing or Ideas exactly in accordance with their mental ability, I'etty minds can't think, beyond the affairs of the neighborhood. Little souls must look at life personally and deal In concrete conceptions In which Air. A and Miss B and Mr. C figure. Broader minded men and women are Interested in events, In happenings of life about them, In the larger world ot news. And really superior minds concern them selves with sieculatlon, with mental ex periment, with the aort of thing that haa mado for growth and progresa and dis covery. "A little harmless gossip" may truth fully enough begin quite unmaJlaJou-ly. Huppose A tells B that X looks worried. Then B. who ha nothing better to talk about, tell C that X' affairs must he In rather a bad way, for he really len t looking well at all. Next C, who want to appear Interesting, and well Informed In the eye of t, tell that Individual thai X Is on th verge of a failure. And r, with a very know-lt-all air, re marks to K that Mr. X' extravagance ha ruined her husband and tomorrow ho I going Into bankruptcy. Nobody want to be malicious. Nobody meant to do th X's Irreparable harm, but what began a a trifling and uncon sidered bll of gossip ha grown to danger ous proportions. X' creditor hear of It and force him Into bankruptcy per haps, and Mr. X find her matrimonial happiness gone because h feel that her husband wasn't man enough to take the blame on his own shoulder, but hid be hind a woman. Mrs. Y I walking up tho avenue and meet Mr. Z. He suggest they lunch together Instead of each having a lonely meal. Harmless enough 'but Mr. Y is in a far-distant city and Mr. Z I in the country for tho summer. And a "Utile, harmless gossip" so magnified the event of the luncheon that It grow from "a harmless Indiscretion" to an ' outrageou flaunting of a shameful Infatuation." An I It actually bring about a divorce in on family and a life clouded by suspicion for the other. It 1 exactly thla type of thing that "a little harmless gossip" cause. I wonder why so few of us mmumber that the way we Interpret other people' aotlnn haa In be based on self-knowledge. j If we know esch In our own soul that a seemingly Innocent thine would mean Ignoble purpose In our own caae, naturally we must conclude that It mean th same In another case. Each of u take ouraelf a the atand- ' ard of measurement. Each ot us inter I pret other peoples' action In term of what we would mean If we did the aamo thing. Bach of ua must look at life through hi own eye. A little thought and every on of us will grant th truth of this statement. 1 Then her la the thought that ought to make u all tremblo at the thought of gossip. If we sneeringly and suggestively comment on iha action ui another w ru only confessing that in like case we would not be acting decently and disin terestedly. Ko against gossip there are three great arguments: In talking about people we acknowledge ourselves too slu.d to con ceive of life Impersonally In term of thing and Idea, we do Irreparable harm to Innooent people; and by malicious In terpretation of simple acts we confess ourselves practically Incapable of acting with simple decency.
