o young. Though they tell me she Is

a having wooed and won her.
They have Anally decided on August 18
fcr their wedding day, you know. It was
6t possible to tell tho date for sure at
fint, as the movement of the officers at

Tho next moment she dropped tho weapon,
nnd It fell clattering to tho floor.
"No, no," she cried, apparently calm
now. "I won't kl I you 1 wouldn't bo
guilty of such a thing. You're not worth
It." sho burst out Into n wild laugh. "You're
not worth It no no no " sho cried,
trailing off Into hysteria.
At that instant Shirley Bloodgood ones
more entered tho room. Somo Instinct had
brought her back again.
"Miriam !" she exclaimed.
Miriam burbt forth Into another wild
laugh, and then threw herself Into tho arm
of the girl, whero sho lav unconscious for
somo moments.
"She's fainted," said Shirley, glancing at
Challoner, accusing y.
Challoncr stood stupidly where ho was
for an Instant. Then he thrust his hand
Into his trousers pocket and pulled out a
llfty-dollar bill, saying in a new strange
tone"
"Shirley, I took this llfty-dollar bill from
tho drawer ocr there you'd better tnke
It it be ongs to you."
The p'rl 'took It wondcrlnrly.
'Til tako care of her," Challoner went
on, gent tul.iug the form of his young
wlfo from Knit ley and holding her In his
arms
It was thus that Shirley Bloodgood left
them ; and as tho door closed on her,
Challoner leaned oer Miriam and stroked
her face and kissed her affectionate y while
tho tears rolled down his cheeks. That
samo night sho was taken to a hospital
with a raging fever.
about the crowds that gathered nround

"People don't bellevo In It. don't think
It will stand," he said, watching her closely.
On her face camo the Interested look that
ho so desired and sho asked:
"Will It, Laurie'.'"
"Mke a rock," ho assured her.
But Challoner was Ignorant of the danger
then, for ho had not reckoned with the
hutnsn element in tho chsructer of construc
tion Ail ho knew was that be worked from I
morning until niBht at the cheapest of all
cheap, unskilled labor
After a little while Miriam put out a
thin hand and let It rest In his, saying:
"How much do they glvo you, dear?''
Not without a suggestion of prldo In his
voice tho man answered:
"A dollar and a half a day."'
A dollar nnd a half a dayl Surely a
mere pittance; and jet tho woman's face
was radiant with Joy.
It was not long before Challoner found
that bis annH and back nnd shoulders wero
perceptibly enlarging. At first It was merely
at his physical strength that he rejoiced;
but this, In turn, soon mndo way for a
greater Joy: bo realized that bis soul was
purging back Into his body; bo had driven
It out, but It would not stay away.
From tlmo to time Challoner noted that
tho tamping was deeloplng him too much
on ono side. With tho long broom nanuie,
' i .apf a

and no muck too. Kow.y. It a.t,W4

And Challoner repeated for html So
many barrels of oement, so many, barrels of
sand and so much stone. But when be
was again alone, he said halt, aloud;
"So, that's all there li to the concrete
business I" .
Cnalloner little knew.
The very first day that ho watched the
mixing process he discovered that the
mixer had put In too much rock and too
much snnd and too little cement
"Look hero!" cried Challoner, "you've
made a mistake 1 Two more barrels of
cement go In there do you understandt"
But tha mixer merely grinned.
'Two more barrels of cement, I told you,"
persisted Challoncr. The head superin
tendent had given him his Instructions, nnd
Challoner meant to 'see that they were
properly carried out
Another gtln from the mixer was all the
satisfaction that ho received. Instantly.
Challoner leaped up on the platform and
stood over tho mixer. At that, the man
waved his arm J hlrf signal brought not the
head superintendent, but the general fore
man of tho work, who demanded gruffly:
"What's the trouble here?"
Challoner explained In a few words.
"You blamed Idiot I" burst out the raging
foreman. "You leave tho man alone 1 Do
you think that ho don't know how to mix
concrete? Leave htm alone, I sayl"
But Challoncr, now, was not a man to
be so easily turned from his orders; and
again ho Insisted:
"Two more barrels of cement I told
you I"
And bo kept on Insisting so strenuously,
that a llttlo knot of laborers gathered
nround them to await tho result. Finally
tho foreman saw that the head superin
tendent was coming toward them from far
down the street
"All right, then," he conceded reluct-
nntly, "make It two more barrels of
cement."
But that same afternoon the foreman
rlngled Challonor out and paid him. Then
ho lunged out. and striking Challoner on
tho shoulder lightly, he exclaimed:
"There, you Infernal Jackass 1 You're
discharged I"
"Discharged!" The exclamation fell from
his lips before Challoner could check If,

"But what was I discharged for?"
"Oh. come now" 'cried tho superintend
ent; "you must know that you wero dis

Stunned for n moment, Challoner said
not a word. Then slowly ho began to un
derstand, draft 1 Yes, that was tho solu
tion of the matter. Cement was worth
money In any market ; and In tho concrete
business, nobody could tell until It was
too late Just how many barrels went
Into tho mixture With bricks thero was

THE following morning, James Lawrenco
Challoner did that which ho had never
done slnco his marriage- ho Btarted out to
look for a 1ob. Something which ho could
not explain was forcing him to try to get
work; but had ho been given to self
analysis he would havo known that It was
Miriam's wrath In her nderslty that bad
Kindled into flame tho flickering, dying
spark of his manhood.
Until now Challoncr had assumed that
work was to be had by uny man for tho
meie asking of It; but ho was surprised,
startled, shocked to find that It whs not;
that Is to say. the clerkships and such work
as he thought would be t his liking; nnd
each night ho returned to his ciuerless.
lonely loom In the tenement sore, leg-weary
nfter n long unsuccessful quest. Work?
Llttlo liy little hn was lesrnlng that there
- n.n,b 'lvlnr nrnund lftOHft" for tha
Will uu .. -- -
Tames Lawrenco Challoners of this world I
And yet he persevered
"I must find something to do," ho kept
saying over nnd over agstn to himself.
And then one day at the end of two weeks
ho found himself at the end of a long line
of Italian laborers who were seeking em
ployment. When the foreman camo to Challoner he
called out In surprise:
"What do you want 7"
"Work I" replied the man Inside tho shell
of Challoner.
"With tho 'ginneys'?" .....,
"With tho 'ginneys,'" nssented Chal
loner. Tho foreman stared.
"All right " he said, after thinking a bit
"let's havo your name." .....
For a bilef sepond Challoncr hesitated;
thc-o was a new light In hi3 eyes when he
said :
"Challoner-T L" ,,,.,.
And all that day he worked worked w th
his handB and with his feet worked with
the gang'tamplng concrete. It Is a simple
enough process when ono stands aside and
looks at. It but after two hours of It Chal
loner thought be would drop In his tracks.
It so happened that his work was on a
now department Btore going up In town.
Concrcto suddenly had come Into promi
nence as a building material. Challoner
and the gang stood Inside a wooden mold
Borne, two or three feet wide nnd bs long
as the wall wh'ch they were building; an
other gang poured In about them a mixture
of sand, cement nnd stone. Sand, cement
and stone meant nothing to Challoner. ex
cent tint when those three things were
mixed with water and dumped down Into
his trench ho had to lift up his tamper and
oumi: pound, pound the mixture Into solid
Kr in ortJep to nil the crevices and to make
the wall hard and smooth. Meanwhile his
"?. "... .ovfl Ma hoots were caked with
cement, his hands were blistered frightfully
and his face was burned by the sun Never-
thelcss. unanoiwr . -. ---. -
btroko had been a right-handed one feo
now ho tried using force from tho left side.
And with that Challoncr made a discovery I
Aftor many experiments It had been
gradually borne In upon him that light but
Incessant nnd vigorous tamping In one
Bpot was more effective than the heavy,
battel tng strokes cmplojed by the Ital an3.
Tho stuff was smooth and bllppery when It
first camo In, and, consequently, nil that
was necessary was uometh.ng to Induce tha
stones lo slip gently Into solidity.
"If the tampers wero only light enough."
bo argued to hlmelf, "a fellow could al
most uso two of them, ono In each hand."
And so ho tried It with tho two tampers
that wero on tho work; but they proved
to bo too heavy. Then, one night, he made
a pair of lighter ones and exper mented
with them. It was too much of a Btraln;
he could not handle them satisfactorily.
Somehow tho work needed tho concentrated
effort of two arms.
All one night ho sat up trying to figure It
out. "And let," ho assured himself re
peatedly, "I'm on tho right track." And so
It proved For at four o'clock In tho morn
ing the Idea came.
To got It!" ho exclaimed, Jumping to
his feet "A pump handle!"
A week later Challoner rigged up a
simple contrivance depending upon strong
leverage ono that would do the work of
a man much more easily.
"It will do tho work of TWO," ho told
himself.
But when Challoner had taken It to tho
works, tho authorities refused him pbr
mlss'on to uso It.
"This here is a teal Job. Wo haven't tlmo
to monkey with things llko that!" thoy told
him with a sneer.
But Challoner wns not to be turned aside
so easily; and stil ho persisted:
"It will do tho work of two."
Now It must not be supposed that Chal
loncr was of a particularly Inventive na
ture; not a bit of It. Simply ho was a
man of average Intelligence working at a
dollar and a half n day His Intelligence,
however, was buporlor to that of the men
nhout him Moreover, his brain was Inde
pendently busy while his hands worked.
So now he rigged himself up a small
trial mold, bought some sand and cement
wns guilty of doing At tho time he had
llttlo thought of resentment. It Is true that
he might havo "peached" on the foreman,
complained to tho head superintendent, and
got them to test the walls with a testing
hammer But It was too lato; besides, ho
knew now that the head superintendent was
tarred with tho same stick

knocked off the moid these same authori
ties found that Challoner was right: this
bit of concrete wall was an solid as If It
hnd been cut out of smooth azoic rock. So
they called out"
"All right. Challoner try It on !"
ChallonT tried It on tho big wall. It
worked llko a charm.
At tho pay window at the end of tho week
Challoner said:
"I want two dollars and a half two dol
lars and a half a day now."
"What for?" came from the voice Inside.
Challoner replied firmly:
"Uecauso I'io done tho work of more than
two men." Tho next day he was paid at tho
rate of two dollars a day.
Now ho was allowed to have one of the
corners all to himself for his contrivance.
The week after that they laid off two men.
Challoner now was doing tho work of three
men In fact, from that tlmo ho nnd his
machlno were made the pacemakers for the
entire lino of workmen.
The bona was Jubilant,
"Geo! I guess we'll get this Job dona on
tlmo after all '" ho was heard to say "I
thought for a while tha old man was In for
a few fines sure."
Nobody elso tried Challoner's device; no
body else knew how to uso it. In a way.
that waa a satlsraction to mm. it waa a
toy, something he had created to lighten his
labors. On the other hand, he found thnt In
his eagerness ho labored threo times as hard
as beforo; besides, ho was even better at the
work than the Italians who knew It. had bo
come accustomed to It and who were better
tltted for It. And yet there wns nothing
wonderful In this contrivance of his. But
Challoner wns convinced that If, some tlmo,
he could Induce the boss to put It Into con
stant operation it would save that gentle
man a grc&t deal of money. Nor did It ever
enter Challoner's head to havo It patented.
ItsOprlnciple was that of the lever, nna of
course oven If ho had tried, he could not
havo obtained a patent In no way was
there a dollar In It.
"But," ho told hfmbhlf, "If ever I go Into
thls-conCreto business I'ahall insist upon Its
use. As a business," he went on, "what can

"Funny. Isn't It? I can got away when
I wint to snd 1 d-'"'t want to If I were
locked up In a dungeon, I would want to
be free. This Is n queer world" Blllv said.
There was plenty to cat where this
part of tho army was encamped, but It
was too quiet for Blllv. He longed for
tho circus and one day when he wns eating
cili'itim n-1'' fy'nr t" enjoy himself he
heard tho buglo sound and saw the troops
net ready to march away.
"Are you going without your little friend
Billy Bumpus?" he shouted.
"I bet the crlcus has come to town and
they are going, for they are surely not
pnlng for (food, because they have left
tho mess tent, nnd that Is the most Im
portant part of an nrmy. I think."
When nil wns quiet, Billy marched off
with the chain nround his neck. He kept
far behind tho army so that he could not
be seen.
What was his great surprise when he
saw the circus parade coming down the
main stnet of tho town. It was far away.
but he knew It and he loved It
Par away ho could see tho swaying ele
phants and the chariots and gilded cages
as they shone In the sun.
How It warmed his heart!
Til be with you," said. Billy, out loud.
although no one heard him. "I'll hide until
tho afternoon pcrformanco and then I will
march In with tho rest.
There was an open door near Billy and
he walked In. An automobile was stand
ing there and also some garden hose. ,
"You can't fool mo again," said Billy to
the hose. "I love rubber, but I want the
tires this time. I'm rested and will now
eat a tiro. Tired rested good Joke hat
ha!"
.lust at thnt moment some one came along
and shut tho door. .
"Well, I like thatl" said Billy.
But thst didn't stni h'm from s'artlng to
eat the tire. He nibbled and nibbled, for
the tire whs Mown up s-d It was hard for
him to get hla teeth Into It
"If they keep me locked up. I'll miss
tha afternoon 'performance and then thay
will fine me." bo was thinking, when, with
out warning there was a BANOI and Billy
Bumpus went through the colling of tha
enrage and landed on his back In the yard.
The tiro had blown him through the roof.
"Nothing new about thatP he exclaimed.
"But there la not a moment to lose,"
Uy this tlmo tha neighborhood was
.aroused, but It was too late to do any
thing. Billy uumpus was point aown tne
hill with hla chain Jingling merrily behind
him.
He flew to tho dressing tent of the circus
