At any rate, If be recovered any of hix Inheritance ke could do so only after a long proc- ess. As soon nsx Burroughs was convinced of this he went to his iancee nnd of- fered to release her. She wept and moaned and vowed that she could nev- er love any one else, but did not give any definite answer to his offer. But when a mouth had passed and her lov- er was hard pressed for money to meet bis immediate expenses she turned him down. We who bad attended our friend’s bachelor dinner feit that be had made a narrow escape. Miss Eth- erling, the lady in question, bad in ber own right something like $20,000. This gave her an income of but $1.000 a year, and she needed much more than that to enable her to keep up her po- sitjon in soclety. One day about three months after the fire | met Burroughs on the street. He approached me with a radlant countenance. “You've found your fortune,” I said. “Guess again.” “Give it up.” “I've got & new sweetheart.” “You don't mean it." He briefly told me how a girl who bad loved him long had heen grieved at his engagement with Miss Ether fing and bad consented to take bim with his poverty. | congratulated him heartily, and we parted each about his| own affairs. Burroughs' new love—a Miss Tisdale—was poor as a church mouse, and 1 feared thut since Kim- ball bad been brought up to expect a fortune they would have a hard life. We were all very busy after the Chi- cago fire, and | saw nothing of Bur- roughs for some time. On returning from a business trip 1 found on my desk an Invitation from him for am- other bachelor dinner previous to his marriage with Miss Tisdale, to be giv- en at the most expensive hotel in the city. 1 was too busy during the day to learn anything further about his affairs and went to the dinner with no knowledge of them except what 1 bave gtated. The guests were all seat- ed at the table when | entered, and Burroughs stood at one end. He beckoned me to a vacant seat be- side bim, but since he was standing with a giass of wine in his bhand, as if about to give a toast, 1 remained stand- ing. and a waiter filled my glass. It was evident from Burroughs' manner and that of his guests that something important was to be announced. “My friends,” be said, “perhaps some of you have not heard of my good for tune, so I will Inform you.

Driven by the fire into another bullding, he had found an opportunity to put them Into a safe, but, penned in by flames, was unable to escape. “1 propose his memory, standing and in silence.” It is quite likely that there were many other cases of devotion to duty during that pandemonium, the herces and the beroines of which were buried under the ruins, not to be exhumed. should do.

Mrs. Garland, who was a widow, made up her mind to await the kidnaper’s demand before taking any action. And yet one can never be certain | when a child has disappeared that he will ever be beard from. There are many disappearances that remain for. i ever mysteries. It 1is therefore the more remarkable that this mother should have contained herself and act ,ed iIn a way that would afford the | greatest number of chances for getting | her boy safely back.

Ap Itallan name was signed, the writer stating that a reply could be sent to the general delivery at the postoffice, but whoever called for it would have nothing to do with the case, Mrs. Garland determined, if possible, to win the confidence of the kidnaper. 8o she replied that her only wish was to recover her child. She could raise but $3,000, which she would be glad to give if the person would instruct her where ‘0 make the delivery.

On the appolnted night | she went to the vacant lot and de- posited bills to the amount of $8,000. | The next morning at dawn there was a sharp ring at the doorbell. Mrs. Garland ran downstairs and opened the door, and there stood Jimmie. He said he had been left there by a girl.

In other words— To do good work you must get out- side of yourself. You must forget your own interests and temporary ad- vantages and strive with an eye to the future. It must content you to know in your own heart and soul that the thing you are engaged in is worthy and will meet with ultimate approval. Such is the spirit that animates the good mechanic at his bench or lathe, the cobbler who puts on the patch true, the artist who expresses his in- spiration with pen or brush or chisel, the statesman who labors for the ad- vancement of his country and of the world. Each partakes of the universal spirit. The worker is loat in the work. It possesses him and fills him. It grips him with the never slackening grip of the thing that must be dome if his own individuality is to find expression. It is the recognition of this feeling which makes others than the workers admire the well turned furrow, the businesslike way in which the horse- shoer goes about his work or the man- ner in which the riveter catches the red hot pieces of iron in his bucket. As each of us individually recognizes and admires good work, however done, 80 will the world set its approval on the result. But— Only if the worker loses himself in Runabout, , Touring Car Town Car.
