The Court had adjourned late. It was, past the ofllce closing hour and Adam had already missed the train thai he was accuslo.med to catch on Saturday mornings. Outside the buil'llng in whlcli the flrm'ii offlce-o were accommodated stood a big car. Adam noticed it Idly, and ca.sually u-.sumed that some one of Importance from one of the adjac- ent ofllces must have been spending an unusually lato Saturday morning. It was his experience that people with car;, like that generally rolled cfll gloriously to play a round of golf about ten o'clock on Saturtlays. Tiie lift had ceased working so they climb- climhcd the stairs to an ofllco froan â- which everyone had dl;,appeared ex- cciit Mr. Urewtter, who, as Managing Clerk, waited dutifully for the return of his chief. Adam overheard his di croet olllcial whisper: "Mr. Mon- tada in the waiting room, sir." "Ves, yes," snapped the great man testily. "1 saw 4iit> car outside. Time you were gone Hrewster." .Mr. Hrewster looked disconsolately at Adam. That was all the thanki ho got, ami his Sat trday dinner, no doubt by now completely spoiled.

Kven if. by some extraordinary chance, it had been that very ve- hicle tihat had been driven so reck- le.-isly, it only showed that either Mr. Montada or his chauffeur must have over-indulged. There was nothing in that. He was silly to have let himself get so excited as to make that blatant remark to a man who must quite naturally be expec- ted to resent it. HACK TO EXi'KKIMliNTS. it was delightful when he was at last able to settle down to an after- noon's work In his stable-laboratory, to find himself once more Uirroun- ded by his beloved apparatus, it would hardly be an afternoon's work though, for the day was already so dim that he was forced to light his lamp a condition intensified by the rain that pattered down outside. When Uie cheerful glow had dlspell- okI the depressing Influences of l)oth rain and gloom he found himself in a mood of restrained enthusiasm, a good working mood. All hia m(>inorles of the past two days were quickly dfemlsscd until hlH mind was like a ship cleared for action. He straightened up the tangles resulting from his panic rush of the nigJit before last, reconnected his valvu and switched on. Again the filament glowed Its faint almost invisible glow, the meter needles swung and kZthered, end again Adam experienced that strange tingling of the nerves, that ghastly premonitory shudder. This time his hand automatically switched off Itoo ciirrenl. and for a moment ho stood rU'id, wondering. Was he In for another attack? What qu(!er disease was threaten- ing him_ making him ho Incompre- hensibly liable to run and scream? At the thought that It must Indeed be a sympton of dlsea.'Jc he found L'llm.self getting into another sort of panic, a panic that was based on an annihilating sense of despair. For a tlnio he strode about the limited space in front of his bench, exasperated by the thought that soniithing he could not control wan coming between him and the future he had set his heart upon, interfer- ing too at the very moment when he wanted to make a crucal test of hit Invention The thought that lier knot or two â€" in a New York court next January. The "Sheep of the Desert" A schoolboy of tender years is said to have produced the following essay on the camel: The camel is a sheep of the desert. It is called a backteria because it has a hump on its back. The canninial is very patient, and will lie down and die without a groan, but when it is angry it gets back up, which is called taking the hump. The shepherds of cannimals is called Arabs. When they live in towns they are called street Arabs. When the cannimal goes in a journey it drinks as much as it can to last for many days. Such animals are acquiduets. Those that cannot carry enough are called inebriates! It is hot enough In the centre of the earth and has been hot for mil- lions of years. We know it is hot because the deeper we go the hotter the earth is found to he, the heat increasing until it reaches a heat impossible for the mind to grasp. Hollywood,â€" A woman never has to face the problem of cbooBlng between marriage and a career because mar- riage Is a career in Itself, says Jean- ette McDonald, film star. Marriage takes as much time, en- ergy, application and downright tal- ent as any other form of endeavor the actress believes. And so slie herself has remained unmarried. For fitve years the blonde blue eyed singing star has been en- gaged to Robert Ritchie her business manager. Wherever her professional engage- ments take her, Ritchie must go- Whatever her profesbionjal worries may be he must share them. "Our interests are interwoven," she says. "Aud we have a great many things in common. Yet I feel that a woman who is married and at the same time attempts to follow a pro- fesb'ional career must be unfair either to her husband or to her work. There are other reasons why I hold to this principle." At the risk of clashing with the numerous other Hollywood actresses who have children Miss McDonald says ;.i!ie doesn't tee how a film play- er can give a child a square deal in time, attention and affection. 'I don't understand how an actress can help neglecting her children in fundamental ways. And she cannot possibly be able to even see much of them." Among the s-uccessful actresses who are mothers are Norma Shearer, Joan Bennett, Marlene Dietrich, Ethel Barrymore and Ann Harding. . "So far as I am concerned however if I were married I'd want a family. A marriage Isn't much of a success without children. But to be married and be successful in professional work, too, lb too much to expect, I think." You can't recreate In coM blood these moments of unspealiable dilemma and presume to say you would act this way or that way. It U the subcon- scious win to survive which makes thoise des'pairate decisions for us, out of a reservoir of wisdom too deep for our consclouB mind to plumb, with an Instantaneous appraisement of proba- bilities which our conscious mind Is far too sluggish to achieve." â€" Louis Goldlng in Esquire. The Plugger he must In some way be nervously afllictefi, that perhaps his brain was no longer sound, sickened him. He stamped hie feet and threw his arms wide In a despairing gesture (To He Continued.) All in a Split Second "If you had to choose between fal- ling into a pot of molten metal or grabbing a live electric cable which would you do?" asked my morning newspaper cslmly a breakfast or two ago. "A young man from Yorkshire, 1 learned was hardening files in a Sheffield workshop, when he slipped. A pot of molten metal hissed behind him. The live wire dangled in front of him. Always a youth of quick de- cisions he seized tihe wire and hung unconscious from it the 200 volt charge locking his' clenched bands- ar- ound it- "The current was switched off, the young man was caught as he fell, and oxygen was administered to bini^ and he survives to go on hardening files for many a long day 1 trust. "Now the younK man was not aware apparently t-!iat the cable was alive. If he had been, would he have had the amazing courage to snatch at Itâ€" or would he have dithered for just that split second which would have -meant his hideous and Instant anni- hiintlon In the pot of molten metal? "I don't know. He doesn't know. He isn't very brilliant, and his pace is often slow, There's nothing very flashy in his style, He has to dig and labor for the things he wants to know And he's busy learning something all the while. The clever men go by him in a hurry day by day, And the "stars" get all the m>jntior an.i the fame But the steady patient plugger â€" in a thorough sort of way â€" Keeps on going and he gets there just the same. He's a quiet sort of wellow, and he'? backward in his speech; You'll never find him clamouring for applause. He will listen to another who has anything to teach, And he never wearies working for a cause. He may take a little longer with the task he has to do Than the genius â€" whose talents seem to run, But you'll find the patient plugger at the finish coming through, And there's merit in his labor when it's done. He is slow in getting started, he must know the reasons why Certain things occur and in a certain way; There is nothing in his method to attract the passerby. And at times you'd think he's wasted many a day. But when brilliant men have faded, and the "stars" have lost their light; When the clever men have stumbled in despair â€" When the great have come to failure with the goal they sought in sight, You'll find the patient plugger get- ting there. â€" Anon.
