skip it through but whon i want some pabulum which nowhero else is foun j umyrap tho little paper from my old home town they say our good and bad deeds are recorded up on high so that god can classify us when it comes our turn to die if that bo true i know a man whos going to wear a crown hes tho gent who runs the paper in my old homo town so keep tiro judgo was not a religious man neither was he strictly irreligious hla old parents were praying people ami while ho had reverence for real pleiy and things sacred he had personally little need ho thought for religion prayer was an attitude of mind that he could not assume an experience ty jjtro pnb0 inrt tnrij playing in the open by leslie b dunk1n o in his helpful prosperous life that he had never known and could not under stand tho nearest toreal worship h ever came was in loving tho divine- human affection which he lavished upon his only child a little boy and tho mother too had a similar feeling about religion tho little boy had been all of hla third summer with his grandparents on the form the judge had been abroad the first night of his return he carried tho little boy up to hla crib as they started the child began to say so keep so keep fador so keep what asked tho judge puzzled and laughing so keep so keep so keep i dont understand my dear what ia so keep oh he means he wajits to eay his prayers broke in the mother thal ia hla name for now i lay me hla grandmother taught it to him this summer tho judgo knelt by the tiny white crib and back liko an echo across the years he heard from his own baby a lips now i lay me down to sleep i pray tho lord my soul to keep nr mo to week before the beverly hotel bid has to bo in mused glen donovan drumming nervously on tho worn dcak in the small office at flora yes ufllrmed lilm father the jenlor member of tho firm and sam lover- ton tho markle contractor wants you to stop at his ofllce at two oclock to morrow afternoon sam levertonf tho young man eyes and tone of votco betrayed mark ed surprlso yes sam levcrton he seems to have something rather important on his mind from what he aajd over lonij distance while you were out this morning the building in question was to bo a ten story btructuro in tho heart of tho business district at markle sam levcrton had made a specialty of large city work while w k donovan son i n a nei to dtjonkep t busy with tho smaller jobs the divl slon of the hotel construction placing tho brick work under a soparatc bid had appealed to glen as the ideal chango to step out into bigger plans does ho want our assistance t swing tho hotel job for himself puz xlod tho young contractor now hardly that but evidently ho wants to see you about something connected with it do you liavo your bid ready afairly close- estimate it can bo shaved down a llttlo more if necea sary by mere chance maybe because the words ended the first verse tho child bad taken soul to keep for tho name of the prayer tho words clung to the judge so keep so kcop fader repeated themselves over and over again to him through tho day it was a new namo fqr prayer new and strangely vital soul lceopfc ho mused does prayer mean that does it mean any thing more than petition than just thanksgiving more than a mere audi ence with god to make known our needs do i need to pray that god may keep my soul again and again tho little lips had said so koep fader tho words somehow began to repeat themselves over at night in a way that brought quiet and rest throughout the day ho heard them when he looked onform the form of a llttlo white figure kneeling beside a llttlo white crib the judgo insensibly began to fall back upon the- words they wero a kind of a strength to him yet ho did not pray but one night the llttlo boy lay breathing heavily a strange fearful light was upon his wasted face it was neoring twelve oclock watch in hand and his other on the tiny wrist was silent death walks with silent feet suddenly the city clocks beun to strike tho hour the doctor bent over the child stirred closed his un- seolng eyes then opened them again and saw his father tho fearful light was gone and turning with a sigh ho murmured so keep fader and fell into a quiet sleep tho doctors tenae face relaxed ho will live he said the mother wept but the judgo went out and prayed bfl carefu not t m t toolow remember its better to mlas than to lose money on the job or to do inferior work to realize a profit whatever you do glen play fair dont glvo levoc- ton any satisfaction as to tho amount of your bid hes the kind who will always bear watching hell play his end of the game to a lino finish dont worry ho doesnt havo any weak bunch of amateurs when ho hits us nothing more wo3 said concerning tho possible hotel job until the follow ing day when tho junior contractor stepped into his roadster to keep the engagement with bls competitor in the neighboring city ill make ittin good time smiled glen to himself glancing down at his watch after hav ing travelled for a considerable dis tance twenty minutes yet with only a couplo of miles to go although ills speed was slackened upon entering the buuy streets of the larger city he was descending the stairs to tho office at five minutes off two tho door marked sam lever- ton contractor was partially open so glen pushed it farther only to be greeted by an empty room maybe he is in there he thought stepping to nnnth- nm- rymrkod private n flgurei ctmo to seven bundled unl fifty dollat i lowci than the first onti- matc thath your venture smiled h father when told of the recent devel opment in the beverly case r member well take a 10sa uefote well do inferior work v qlcn donovan went over his wotk again tho next day to bo auro he had made no mistake this was tho fit at time his father had permitted him to try a job without assistance and tho young contractor wanted to make good they cant do it for anything lower ho gasped at last our pi ice la too low to be truej but we can do it foi that provided nothing unexpected happens to satisfy the possible doubta of those who should have the contract ho wrote out in detail tho different amounts figured in the job giving the amount of piofit to bo made b the flora contractor everything was down fittjinck ami while nothing vnt covered up im going to play safe with this bid he assured hla father ill drive to markle nnd dellvei ous in person all worry dropped frpin his mind when ho i etui nod to riora to continue the wotk already in pro gress tho necond week of the month of waiting passed the third dragged by bringing no news at all tho hotm builders wet o evidently keeping vcrv quiet the last week also went oy without any definite teturns im going to markle to see how the old sch60l house vacation work when i was fifteen years old sayu a man of middle age i never refused tho chance to earn a quarter by mow ing some ones lawn or spading d garden or wheeling away a load of ashes but if you try to biro a boy to do those things now the chances are that ho will laugh at you tho generalization implied in this remark is perhaps not quite untrue but it does not tell the whole truth the registrars of universities and colleges now collect facta relating to tho means and tho expenditures of students that wero formerly not avail able their investigations show that tho number of boy3 who work their way through college is increaalng and that tho field of their activities is broadening thoro are two reasons for thia first tho number of young men who enter college in- proportion to tho total pop ulation la ateadjly growing and sec ond the llfogjn college is more com plicated an djjjx pensive it used to bo tho general opinion that only the oni of the wealthy or at least of the well- todo could go to college now wo are getting nearer to tho sounder dnj more democratic view that any young man who has tho right stuff in him can compass an education at any uni versity in the country tho officers of tho colleges hav done an excellent work in establish ing bureaus of employment or of in formation for tho benefit of selfsup porting students through their ef forts tho field has been extended and special employmonta have been made moro lucrative to a great many hundred yaunx men and young women too the long summer vacation haa been a period of hard work but if it has been dif ferent work from that of tho rest of the year it will do no physical harm thoao who spent tho summer in this way may bo euro that thoy have the approval and good wishes of every rlghtmlnded man nnd that they wll take back to college something which their less fortunate classmates will miss the logic of youth father exclaimed john vigorous ly why dont quakers take off their hats because my son it is their bellof that to romove their tlat is a mark of respect that they think they should pay to no man well remarked ho boy after o moments silence how do they manr ago when thoy havo to have tholr hnl out sounds came from within however three sharp heavy knocks gained no additional response ill sit down and wait for him for a few minutes de elded the visitor dropping into tho chair nearest the tabic the oppressive silence of the room and the building bepnn to irritate the sole occupant of the place he yawned nervoualy and reached for a magazine to help pass tho time whats this he sighed as he stooped to pick up a paper which fluttered from between tho leaves something about tho beverly hotel hla interest increased sam leverton had been figuring evi dently when he was called out sud denly play fair hla fathers warning thundered in the boys ears glen looked at the top or the sheet yea thero at the head of the sheet was tho revealing statement beverly hotel brick work play fair reverberated in hla ears play fair play fair suroly this fa not important or he wouldnt have left it around whore everybody can see it glen reasond especially since he knew that ono of his competitors was coming to see him play fair play fair ho tossed the paper hurriedly on the table he would be taking unfair advantage in scanning hla competl tors estimate approaching footutena resounded in tho hall there thoy are exclaimed a young stenographer almost flying toward the table from the doorway i forgot to put those in the safe she gathered up tho loose- sheets including the ono that glen had been holding in hla hands and hurrfiu them into the small safe in tho adjoining private of fice pardon me she smiled as she returned to the waiting room i was ao excitod i didnt notice you at first thats all right said glen i havent been here long what can i do for you you joomo just in time i was leaving for the day i came to aco mr xeverton im sorry but hes out of town and wont bo back until tomorrow evening any word you want to leave for him no said alen much surprised ill aee him later out of town for a day and wont he ltfmfck until tomor row ho repeated wonderlngly as ho returned to hlk roikistei and yet hed made nn appointment to see me there at his ollce maybe dad mil- understood tho time or place inquiry at his own oltlco brought no further explanation tho scnloi donovan was positive of the time and the place that aoema qucei puzzled glen some tlu ngswrong somewhere ho told his father about his visit to their competitora ofllce mentioning tho papers that had been left on the table by sam lever tons stenographer did you look at his work intct- ruptcd mr donovan anxiously i didnt look at tho amount im going to play fair im glad to hear that but you 1 better go over yours more closely or it will be umlflbh to make an offrv seems queer sam laverton would be letting his private stmofiiaplur handle such figures ho carelessly jf there vis not a purpose behind it tho next dny wu spent in working and ro- working the figmien but in the end tho final result wan not changed mr donovan was away fi om the omco directing the construction of a school building in tho adjoining county so glen was left alone to wreatlo with the hotel bid as a last meuuurc ho re visited the local firm whore tho brlcics and material woro to be purchased with tho idea of obtaining a still lower price from thorn oy taking nuch a large numbei as will bo required for the ten story hotel building came the final concession from the dealer well lower our price for you this time wo want you to know we a pp reel a to your constant trade with ua making careful note of the now quo tation tho young contractor hurried back to tho office to ascertain tho ef fect of tho flgurea on his bid his feel seemed to bo wlngcil would it be possible for his rlvnln to lower their prcsont estimate and possibly under bid the other contractors ho plunged into tho rmlddlo nf flguroh again im down five hundred dollars ho sighed finally but ill havo to rfhn tomo more by careful fiirtirig tho final things stand declared glen unable to wait longer his father smiled and waved an en thusiastic farewell as the roadster sped out of flora nothing definite yet was the an swer the young con tt actor received o his eager questions we need two moro weeks to investigate then well let you know mr donovan
