Action on a Sudden Impulse Lays the Foundation for Success. By ELIZABETH SCHOEN COBB. It was a strange wooing, if it could be called such. On the one hand was Bryce Wharton, with strong, earnest love. On the other, trustful, sympa- thetic Milly Dover. What she thought, what sweet words of encouragement she might have had in mind to speak to the ingenious, impetuous young man whose handsome face would ap- peal to any girlish imagination in & vivid way, she was not allowed to ex- press. “I have told you just what my heart dictated,” Bryce had spoken. “I must not ask you to tell me what you think of it, for it would be unfair to your- self and 0 you : hope you will once , to come back and a | have reached the I only ask | A STRARGE WODAG | every cut of meat intimately. | er in the heart of the great city, wore PAGE .

By Bryce, however, aside from that, a natural | constructive predilection had been in- herited. liis favorite reading was de- scriptions of the great structural tri- umphs of the world, and he reached the city with a pretty fair idea of the road he was about to pursue. Once a well known packer and & multi-milllonaire had made an ad- dress at college that had made a great impression on Bryce. He had told how, in his early days, he had given up a good clerical position to accept forty dollars a month in the operating department of the plant until he knew “Get the rudiments—know the foundation,” was his slogan of enterprise. That was just what Bryce did. He wasted no time in minor clerical ca- pacities.

A holiday, that is, 18 still a holy day. | Secular and putrlotlo festivals are everywhere of comparatively recent origin. In Turkey, where church and gtate are one to a degree now un- known in western countries, there was po real national holiday until 1909. | Then the first anniversary of the re- | establishment of the constitution was celebrated on the twenty-third of July (July 10, old style). A hlgbly* picturesque celebration it was, too, in Constantinople, at least, with its mag- pificent array of rugs and medieval tents on the Hill of Liberty, its review of troops by the sultan, its procession | of the guilds of the city and its eve | ning {lluminations. | A Muslcal Feat.
