He had been a stern, hard-driving master when he ran the | nail mills. Not that he was not emi- " nently just to his employes, but he rigidly exacted every penny of money | due him and every minute of time paid for. “That rabble!"” he groaned out, and showed his teeth. “Don’t call them harsh names, uncle,” pleaded the young man chid- ingly. “You have a wrong notion of them and they of you. They are pay- ing off their old grudge on me now.” “Don't see why,” growled the old man. “You've wasted money and time getting them libraries, and free hos- pitals, and clubrooms and all that.” “Well, my manager has been down among them for a week,” said Randal. “He will be back tomorrow. Figuring closely, unless the mill district gives me one thousand five hundred clear majority, I'm off the slate, sure.” It meant a great deal to Randal Mead to secure the nomination in view. There was nothing of selfish pride or vanity in the ambition. If { ever there was a true man, it was Mead. Always of a sober, serious | frame of mind, when his uncle sold out his mill interests, he, just graduated as a physician and surgeon, rejected a promising practice in a near city be- “Well, Speak Them!” cause of the field of usefulness he had 4 chosen as offering the mission of his life. It was among the poor and lowly that he had found his vocation. There wers those who hated him because his uncle had been looked upon as an in- dustrial tyrant. There were others, however, who idolized the self-sacri- ficing young man who had ministered to their needs from a pure humane impulse. Naturally the scope of endeavor and usefulness had broadened. The fact had dawned upon Mead that what he could individually do for wretched down-trodden working people counted ' as little compared with his power if he could influence legislation in their behalf. Some of the advanced working clubs strongly advocated his candidacy for office. The movement grew. He was now in full-fledged condition in a hotly contested political campaign. What Mead had said about the river precincts was true. Those districts were populated by a densely ignorant and prejudiced class. A disreputable and free-treating demagogue had won their ear and was using money and artifice to sway the voters away from Mead. “Well, what have you to report?”’ he inquired with some anxiety and dis- trust as his agent appeared the follow- ing morning. “Good news!” buoyantly replied Ar- nold Carter. “See here, do you happen to know anybody of the name of Les- ter?” “Lester—Lester?" repeated Mead dubiously. “No, I am eure not. Why do you ask?” “Because upon the efforts of a com- munity worker. Miss Eloise Lester, winning in this contest. It seems she is a sort of guardian angel to the poor down Matlock way.

PAGE SEVEN sweetheart, the enthusiastic way she ‘oes about helping your cause.” “I declare,” murmured \lexd “you uite interest me.” “She is a graceful, reticent yourg girl,” proceeded Matlock. *“She has addressed two or more meetings every night for a week. She is fast changing the sentiment of the voters. Mr. Mead, I am going to give you a very good piece of advice. Get down to Matlock at once, and follow up the splendid work this young settlement worker has started for you with your own elo- quence and persuasiveness as a nat- ural orator.” “Thank you, Carter,” said Mead in his quiet reflective way. “I'll think of it” Which Mead decided to do. More than once on his way to Matlock he recalled the name Lester. It gave no . clue to a real identity. Then that same night, as on the ekirts of a great | ; crowd he listened to a silvery voiced, modestly attired young girl press his claims upon a respectful and attentive audience, he traced nothing familiar in the sweet earnest face dawning upon |* him as the most beautiful he had ever seen, They passed on for a few squares to come upon a second meeting. A liquor- soaked volce, a campaigner for Mead's rival, was pouring out abuse upon the| young physician.

He neared the platform as the speaker concluded his tirade and stepped |’ promptly forward with the clear, ring- ing words: “Men, I am Randal Mead, and I am here to refute the vile aspersions of this prevaricator.” There was a sudden silence, then the hirelings of the baffled orator seemed to recelve their cue.

The blood streamed down hie face as he sank to the one chair on the plat- form, weak and half stunned. “Shame on you!” rang out a new voice and Mead was half conscious of a dainty form mounting to the plat- form and shielding him in a wild ap- peal to the audience. Then as in a dream he took in her words. She was telling the now awed and silenced mob a story, and the floodgates of his mem- ory suddenly opened wide. It was a brief, simple tale, the re- cital of how a young man himself had rescued a poor, eick woman from drowning in a steamer stampede at the risk of his own life. He had forgotten the incident. Now its details recalled to him where he had known the name Lester. The girl told of how her mother had bade her bless the name of Mead, how that noble act had induced her to turn her own energies towards living for the poor, the ignorant, the oppressed. Strong men tried to conceal their tears at the pathetic story. Then there was a great wave of interest in the hero of the tale, and then cheers. & Randal Mead carried the river pre- cincts. From Matlock, the day after election, he carried also back to his uncle the news that he had found a worthy bride, a congenial life partner in his great life work of gilving his strength and means for the good of poor humanity.

Education, in our country, has never been progressive. It has never kept pace with the changing times. It has clung tenaciously to tradition and moved contentedly in ruts. No one thinks of looking for reformers among schoolmasters. Seldom, if ever, have the firebrands of revolution sprung from this class. Instead of taking the lead in the vital question of the edu- cation of our youth, we have allowed foreign nations—notably Germany—to show us how to educate all the chil- i Brandy Peaches Brandy Cherries - Imported Cherries Preserved Figs lmported Olive, Oil Also Piemente and Cream Cbheese $1.00 $1.15 35 S0 S0 dren of the people; in short, how to fit e e &P FEEFPFIPFISI0ESSPISPPE them for life.
