AAA, Se wTy “The Man Insid - an inside By Rev. Thomas B.’ Gregory Copyright, 1919, by ‘The Pree Publishing Company (The New York Evening World.) 1H only difference worth speaking of between you and your dog it ‘the difference in Mind. If the mind of the.dog was equal to that of his master he would in every essential sense be his master’s peer. ‘This all-important thing that constitutes the chief difference between Man and the Canine is, of course, invisible. In the old Book we read: “No man hath seen God at any time,” and it-may be affirmed with equal emphasis that no man hath at any time seen his fellow man. We hear each other's voices, we touch each other's bodies, but the Real Man remains as completely bidden as are the ores at the bottom of the unworked mine. Ard equally invisible are all the fortunes of man’s life—his griefs ney meels in Gethsemane, his raptures on the Mount of Transfiguration, his power of thought, his courage, and hope, amd faith. , ‘These capital facts belong ¢o the realm of the unseen, nor has eye, * microscope or telescope, or even the X ray, ever revealed them to the gene of mortal or ssraph. ‘They are within and invisible. And right here we are reminded of the great mistake of the ages—the mistake of looking for life's constituents and value, in EXTERNAL things. For example, take the statement in the Koran, the venerated Scripture of two hundred and fifty millions of human beings to-day, that the soil of Paradise is composed of musi and saffron, sprinkled with pearls and hyacinths, the walls of the mansions and palaces are of gold and silver, with fruits growing around them of a delicacy and flavor unknown to mortals, that many of the rivers flowing through Paradise are of wing, or milk honey, while the pebbles along their shores are rubies, emeralds all sorts of precious stones, that the meanest of the dwellers fn Parediée will have eighty thousand servants, seventy-two wives, to- “sow < regen lig patel at is charming to the In @ word, Paradise, according to the Koran, is an ENVIRONMENT : rather than an INTERIOR possession. It is unnecessary to way thet the Externaliem of the Koran has per- yvaded the philosophies, moralities and religions of all the ages. § The INTRINSIC WORTH of a man has received but little emphagis, while the ex! 1 things, the things of show and sound, called by Lord Bacon the “idols of the theatre,” have been made to occupy the very centre of the stage. But it is gratifying to know that at last the situation is beginning to improve. . ‘The great war gave the old Externalism the shaking-up from which it can never recover, and the time is close at hand when Reality will take the place of sham and show. ‘The power of the big drum and the magic lantern, of red fire and ‘The spectacular in general, is on the wane, and the long neglected WORLD OF THE WITHIN is about to come into its own. From now on the conviction will steadily grow upon us that ! “The wisest man can ask no more of fate, ~ Than to be simple, modest, manly, true, ' Safe from the many, honored by the few, Nothing to court in Church or World or Stage, But INWARDLY in SECRET to be great.”.

They feported at once to Selfridges It had been the intention of Wally to vent upon them the bad temper that had been gath- ering ever since bis talk with lott. But his first sarcastic question drew such @ spar! of anger that he recon- sidered. Gordon Biliot was a trained in- vestigator, Even without Holt at his sido he would probably ha’ un- earthed the truth about the mat= lah situation, But with the little miner by his side to tell him the facts, he found his task an easy one. Gordon was careful to put himself under no obligations. He called on the Howlands, but he laughingly ex- plained why he could not accept the invitations of Mrs, Howland to din- ner. Within two weeks Elliot had fin- ished his work at Kamatlah, “Off for Kusiak to-morrow,” told Holt that night. The old miner went with him as @ guide to the big bend. Weary with the trail, they reached the river at the end ‘of a long day. An Indian village lay sprawled along the bank, and ‘this the two men tramped to the roadhouse where they were to put up for the night * “Wait a minute, Elliot” Gordon turned, The old Alaskan was offering a quarter to a little half-naked Indian boy. Shyly the four-year-old came forward, a step at a ume, his finger in his mouth. He held out a brown hand for the coin. Elliot glanced at the woman be- hind whose skirts the youngster was hiding, He smiled and nodded pleas- antly to her, “Name of the kid mean anything to you?” an't say it did.” ‘The Jand inspector stopped in his stride and wheeled upon Holt.

At least three of those present were a little on edge. Even Sheba. who had missed entirely the point of the veiled thrusts, knew that Elliot was not in harmony with either Diane or Macdonald, He rose promptly at 10, “Must you go 80 soon?” Diane asked, She was smiling at him with bland mockery. “I really must,” answered Elliot, “What did you mean by telling She- ba that old Holt knew her father? What is he to tell her if they meet— that her father died of pneumonta brought on by drink? Is that what you want?” He smiled, boyishly, engagingly, he held out hie hand. “Don't let’ quarrell, Di, I admit I forgot myself. “Not in the usual meaning of the word.

He was the first’ Astronomer Koyal at Green- wich Observatory, which was built by Charles IL, in 1675 on the summit of Flamsteed Hill, so called in honor of the eclentiot, “My ‘phone can't be working well,” Gordon told her gayly. “You must have asked me to dinner, but I didn't just hear it. Never mind. I'll be there, Seven o'clock, did you say?” Macdonald was with Miss O'Neil! in the living room when Gordon ar- rived at the Paget home, Sheba came forward to greet the new guest. The welcome in her eyes was very genuin: “You and Mr. Macdonald know each other, of course,” ghe said after her handshake, The Scotchman nodded his lean, grizaled head, looking straight into the eyes of the field agent. There was always a certain deliberation about his manner, but it was the slowness of etrength and not of weakness. a I know Mr, Elllot—now. I'm ure that he knows me—yet.” “I'm beginning to know you rather well, Mr, Macdonald,” answered Gor- don quietly, but with a very steady look. “Did you have a successful trip, ‘Mr, Elliot?” apked Sheba innocently, HE first power loom for weav- . an of rather a hard finish. Now she met him fairly, eye to eye, “Any time you like, Gordon.” CHAPTER XII, BEYING the orders of the general in command, Peter took himself to his den with the excuse that he had blue~ prints to work over, Presently Diane sald she thought she heard oge of the children crying and left to investi+ gate, The Scotchman strode to the fire- place and stood looking down into the glowing coals, He turned from: the fire to Sheba. It was characteristic of him that he plunged straight at what he wanted to say. “U’'ve asked to see you alone, Miss O'Neill, because I want to make & confession and restitution—to begin with,” he told her abruptly. She seemed to him delicate as a flame and as vivid, There woul: come a day when her innocent, pas- sional nature would respond to the love of a man as @ waiting harp does to skilful fingers, “My story goes away back to the Klondike days. I told you that I knew your her on Frenchman Creek, but I didn't say much about knowing him on Bonanza. “Your father was among the first of those who stampeded to nanga. He and Strong took up @ claim to- gether. I bought out the intereg of your father.” “You told me that.” His masterful eyes fastened to hers, “I didn’t tell you that I took advantage of him, He was—not well. I used that against him in the bar- gaining. He wanted ready money, and I tempted him.” “Do you mean that you-wronged him?” “Yes, I cheated him.” He was re- solved to gloss over nothing, to offer no excust “I didn't know there was gold on his claim, but I had what we call a hunch.

On the way he suffered ex- posure and caught pneumonia, The word reached us, and Strong and I brought him to our cabin.” The big mine-owner brushed this aside as of no importance. ‘We don’t leave sick men to die in a blizzard up North, But that's not the point.” The difficulty was that he could not tell her the truth about her father’s weakness for drink and how he had played upon it. He bridged all explanations and passed to the thing he meant to do in reparation, “The money I cleaned up from that claim belongs to you, Miss O'Neill, You will oblige me by taking it.” From his pocket he took a folded paper and handed it to her, Sheba opened it doubtfully, The paper con- tained a typewritten statement and to it was attached a check by means N\OGAZiNe The Evening Worla’s Kiddie Klub Korn 4.
