There was that same fear in the eyes of the young girl ahead of him, § He was beginning to sense the strain of her tense attitude when the car came to a stop. “Car ahead!” yelled the conductor.

The stately beauty felt Verner's arms stiffen around her waist and won- dered at his sudden lack of interest in her breesy conmversation. She might be a widow, was the thought uppermost in Verner’s mind, | but the brilllance of her costume and | the existence of the tiny infant prac-| tically denied this. Together with his condemnation of | married flirts Verner felt irritated and jealous because of the men who dangled over the girl's dance order.

Then it was that Verner saw the big suit case on the floor beside her. “How did she manage to get on the car if she couldn't get off with a suit case and a baby?” Verner asked himself while he raised his cap and adgregsed her. ¥1t you will permit me—I will car- “Oh—if you would be so kind,” she gasped in a frightened little voice, and before Verner realized it she had If You WIll Permit Me, | Will Carry—' put the baby in his arms and was about to pick up the suit case. *l am more used to this,” she sald with & half blush. “I can easily take both,” Verner told her as he swung the tiny infant against one big shoulder and took the suit case from her. “Her eyea are decidedly coquettish’ for & youn§ mother,” was bis inward comment &s he hcfp-d her into the car ahead. He found it within his he could only return her greeting. After that Verner found that he was being introduced to her. “The ninth and seventeenth dances ure leap year waltzes, Mr. Verner,” she sald, looking laughingly into his eyes. “May I please have both ol: them?” | “You may if I may have two oth-| ers,” he put in qulckly._ ~— She blushed swiftly ‘and handed Verner her card. .. “Have you a dance left, Miss Gregory?” another moth about the candle questioned the girl.

And that these same laborers and fishermen may satisfy their curlosity about the doings of the world the ed- itor must toll with brain and pen or typewriter in his city office. None of them knows the others personally, but all are bound together closely and in- timately by a clearly defined and easily followed chain of circumstances. It does not become the brain worker to think or speak slightingly of the man who toils that his own vital proc- esses may not be checked. And the laborer must not criticise his fellow laborer as a useless consumer. Each must learn to know and respect the other. Each should feel it to be his own personal concern that the oth- er meets with fair treatment in the struggle for life and the means of ex- istence. In fulfilling this obligation, laid upen all workers alike, men or women, brain workers or laborers, with muscles alone, the brotherhood of man and the reign of peace, industrial and interna- tional, is advanced. Perhaps it is the -only way in which that great cause may be forwarded, for as men learn to kmew and respect one another they learn to pass the boundaries of class and nation in the spirit of mutual helpfulness, The German peasant working in the rye flelds has no personal quarrel with his brother in the vineyayds of France, The professor in the Sorbonne of Par- 1s, living a gentle life devoted to the advancement of the world's learning, | bears no animosity to his brother of Bonn or Goettingen.
