CHAPTER XXlV—Sheridan announces
that be Is going to take Bibb. Into the
office with him and make a business man
of him.
He was more shaken than he had
allowed his father to perceive, and his
side was sore where Sheridan had
struck him. He desired to be alone;
he wanted to rub himself and. for onee,
to do some useless thinking again. He
knew that his father had not "hap
pened" to run into him; he knew that
Sheridan had Instantly—and Instinct
ively—proved that he beld his own life
of no account whatever compared to
that of his son and heir. Bibbs had
been unable to speak of that, or seem
to know It: for Sheridan. JUBt as In
stinctively, had swept the matter aside
—as of no Importance, since all was
well—reverting immediately to busi
ness.
Bibbs began to think Intently of his
father. He perceived, as he had never
perceived before, the shadowing of
something enormous and Indomitable
—and lawless; not to be daunted by
the will of nature's very self; langhlng
at the llghtutng and at wounds and
mutilation; conquering. Irresistible—
and blindly noble. For the first time
in bis life Blbbs began to understand
the meaning of being truly this man's
son.
lie would b* the more truly his son
henceforth, though, as Sheridan said.
Blhbs bad not come downtown wfth
blm meanly or half-heartedly. lie had
given his word because he had wanted
the money, simply, for Mary Vertices
ill her need. And he shivered with
horror of himself, tbinklng how he had
gone to her to offer it, asking her to
marry him—with his head on bis
breast In shameful fear that she would
accept him! He had not known her;
the knowing had lost her to him, and
this had been his real awakening; for
be knew now how doep had been that
slumber wherein he dreamily celebrat
ed the superiority of "friendship!" The
sleep-walker bad wakened to bitter
knowledge of love and life, finding
himself a failure in both. He had
maile a burnt offering of bis dreams,
and the sacrifice had been an unforgiv
able hurt to Mary. All that was left
for biro was the work in had cbosen,
but at least he would not fall in that,
though it was Indeed no more than
"dust in bia mouth." If there bad been
anything "to work for—"
He went to the window, raised it,
and let In the uproar of the streets be
low. He looked down at the blurred,
hurrying swarms and he looked
across, over Uic roofs with their pant-
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, OCIOBEB 26, 1916
Ing jets of vapor, Into the vast, foggy
heart of the smoke. Dizzy traceries of
steel were rising dimly against It, chat
tering with steel on steel, anil screech
tog In steam, while tiny figures of men
walked on threads In the dull sky.
Buildings would overtop the Sheridan.
Bigness was being served.
But what for? The old question
came to Bibbs with a new despair.
Here, where his eye fell, had once been
green fields and running brook's, and
how had the kind earth been despoiled
and disfigured! The pioneers had be
gun the work, but In their old age their
orators had said for them that they
had totled and risked and sacrificed
that their posterity might live In peace
and wisdom, enjoying the fruits of the
earth. Well, their posterity was here—
and there was only turmoil. Where
was the promised land? It had been
promised by the soldiers of all the
wars; it had been promised to this gen
eration by the pioneers; but here was
the very posterity to whom It had been
promised, toiling and risking and sac
rificing In turn—for what?
The harsh roar of the city came In
through the open window, continuously
beating upon Bibbs' ear until be began
to distinguish a pulsation In It —a bro
ken and Irregular cadence. It Becmed
to him that It was like a titanic voice,
discordant, hoarse, ruatlly metallic—
the voice of the god, Bigness. And the
voice summoned Bibbs as It summoned
all Its servants.
"Come and work!" It seemed to call.
"Come and work for Me, ill men! By
your youth and your hope I summon
you! By your age and your despair
I summon you to work for Me yet a
little, with what strength you have.
By your love of home I summon yonj
By your love of woman I sunn ion you!
By your 'iope of children I summon
yon I
"Ton dhall bo blind slaves of Mine,
blind to everything but Me, your Mas
ter and Driver! For your reward you
shall gaze only upon my ugliness. You
shall glvo your toil and your lives,.you
shall gc mad for lovr and Worship of
my ugllfiess! You shall perish still
worshiping Me, and your children iliall
perish '-nowing no other 30d!"
And then, as Bibbs closed the win
dow down light, he heard bis father's
voice booming In the next room; bo
could not Usttngulsb the words, but
the tone was exultant —and there 'ame
the thump! thump! of the maimed
hand. Bibbs guessed that Sheridan
was bragging of the city and of the
Bigness to some visitor from out of
town.
And he thought how truly Sheridan
was the high priest of Bigness. But
with the old, old thought again, "What
for?" Bibbs caught a glimmer of far,
faint light. He saw that Sheridan had
all bis life struggled and conquered,
and must all his life go on struggling
and Inevitably conquering, as part of
a vast Impulse not his own. . Sheridan
served blindly—but was the Impulse
blind? Bibbs asked himself if It was
not be who bad been In the greater
hurry, after all. The kiln must be
fired before the vase is glazed, and the
Acropolis was not crowned with
marble In a day.
Then the voice came to him again,
but there was a strain in It as of some
huge music struggling to be born of
the turmoil. "Ugly 1 am," It seemed
to say to him, "but never forget that
I am a god!" And the voice grew In
sonorousness and In dignity. "Tbo
highest should serve, but so long as
you worship mft for my own sake I
will not serve you. It Is man who
makes me ugly, by bis worship of me.
If man would let me serve him, I
should be beautlfull"
Looking once more from the win
dow, Bibbs sculptured for himself—
In vague contortions of the smoke and
fog above the roofs—a gigantic figure
with feet pedestaled upon the great
buildings and shoulders disappearing
In the clouds, a colossus of steel and
wholly blackened with soot. But Bibbs
carried his fancy further—for there
Mary Stood Upon tha Threshold,
tras still a little poet ttngertnj In the
back of his beat—and he thought that
op over the clouds, unseen from below,
the giant tailored with his hands In the
clean sunshine; and Blbba bad a
glimpse of what he made there—per
haps for a fellowship of the children
of the children that were children now
—a noble and Joyous city, unbelievably
w trite—
•'e* • * * .
It was the telephone that called him
from his vision. It rang fiercely.
He lifted the thing from his desk
and answered—and as the small voice
Inside It spoke be dropped the receiver
with a crash. He trembled violently
as he picked It up, but be told himself
he waa wrong—he had been mistak
en—yet It was a atartlingiy beautiful
voice; startllngly kind, too, and Inef
fably like the one he hungered moat
to hear.
"Who?" be said, hli own voice shak
ing—like hla band.
"Mary."
He responded with two hushed and
Incredulous words: ''ls It?"
There was a little thrill of pathetic
half-laugbter In the Instrument.
"Bibbs—l wanted to —Just to see If
you—"
. "Yes—Mary?" ..
"1 was looking when yon were so
nearly run ow. I saw It, Bibbs. They
said you hadn't been hurt they
thought, but I wanted to know for my
self."
"No, no, I wasn't hurt at all—Mary.
It was father who came nearer It He
saved me."
"Yes, 1 aaw; but you had fallen. I
couldn't get through the crowd until
jrou had gone. And I wanted to know."
"Mary—would you—have! minded?"
he said. There was a long Interval
before she answered.
"Yes."
"Then wby—"
"Yes, Bibbs?"
"I don't know what to say," he cried.
"It's so wonderful to hear your voice
again—I'm shaking, Mary—l—l don't
know—l don't know anything except
that I am talking to you! It Is you—
Mary?"
"Yes, Bibbs!"
"Mary—l've seen you from my win
dow at home—only five times since I—
since then. You looked —oh, bow can
I tell you? It was like a man chained
in a cave catching a glimpse of the
blue sky, Mary. Mary, won't yon—let
me see you agalu—near7 I think I
tould make you really forgive me—
you'd have to—"
"I did —then."
"No—not really—or you wouldn't
have said you couldn't see me any
more."
"That wasn't the reason." The voice
was very low.
"Mary," he said, even more tremu
lously than before, "I can't you
couldn't mean It was because—you
can't mean It waa because you—care?"
There was no answer.
"Mary?" he called, huskily, "If yoo
mean —you'd let me see you—
wouldn't you?"
And now the voice was so low be
could not be sure It spoke at all, but If
It did, the words were, "Yes, Bibbs—
dear."
But the voice was not In the Instru
ment—lt was so gentle and so light,
so almost nothing, It seemed to be
made of air—and it came from the
air.
Slowly and Incredulously he turned
—and glory fell upon tils shining eyes.
The door of his father's room had
opened.
Mary stood upon the threshold.

PLAYING THE 'SECOND FIDDLE'
Positions In Life Very Much aa It !■
In the Orcheatras That Ara De
algned to Amuse.
When I was a lad, 1 used to bear
the expression moro frequently than
I do now, that a certain man was
"playing aecond fiddle," or that be
"would not play aecond fiddle for any
man," or aomethlng of that sort.
Playing second fiddle Is a curious
expression. Last nlgbt I attended a
beautiful concert of our symphony or
chestra. At the conductor's left band,
alsta tbe first violinist. Grouped beside
and behind him are the rest of the
first violin*. On the other aide of the
conductor sit the second violinists.
There were just about as many of
them, and they were called upon to
play what seemed to be Just aa diffi
cult music. There were times when
the first violins were not playing at
all, and the melody was being carried
by the second violins, at other times,
the seconds were playing In onlson
with the firsts; at still other times,
they were carrying their own part,
without which the first violins would
not have sounded like much.
And Is not that like life? People
that we call second fiddlers are part
of tbe orchestra that makes life's
music. Tbe more prominent people
are helpless without them; there ara
tlmea when they carry the real me
lody. Who tho nurse of Carlyle waa
wo do not know, but If there had not
been a nurse there would have bee a
no Carlyle. Washington's advisers
seldom come to our minds, but ha
would have made dismal failures with
out them. Someone may be far mora
visible In your society than yon ara,
but he cannot stay there unless you
and others like you do your own quiet
part. You can afford to play second
fiddle, or anything elae, to keep the
music going—Cleland B. McAfee.
Picture Hanging sn Art.
The matter of picture banging pre
sents many problems to those who
have not time to give to a careful
study of arrangements, and our walls.
Instead of being restful snd well bal
anced. are too often a hodge-podge of
all sorts snd conditions of art.
In going over one's pictures elim
inate all but tbe choicest and best
beloved and try to group together tha
pictures whose subjects are some
what related or which have a simi
larity in frame*. Indeed, even when
subjects are closely related, It is not
possibly always to bang pictures to
gether. owing to a too great differ
ence In the kind of frames. As a rule,
any room looks better, especially
small rooms, where only one color
frame Is used on all U>« pictures.

GASOLINE.
Underground storage of gasoline not
only protects the hazards, but It is a
measure of economy. The present
high cost of gasoline Is of vital Inter
•st to automobile owners; storage
tanks placed underground not only
safeguard the haxarda, bat prevent
waste from evaporation.
Gasoline should not be kept In th«
home In any receptacle except an ap
proved safety can. From the careless
use of gasoline In open cans, bottles,
etc., there has resulted the death of
fourteen adults and one child during
the year. Kerosene likewise caused
the death of eleven aduKa and six
children. Approved safety cans In th»
home where the use of Inflammable
liquids Is necessary, will eliminate tha
deplorable loes of life In this manner.

ALLIES HILL REJTOK
TO DISCUSS PEACE
EARL GREY, BRITISH SECRETARY
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, IN AD
DRESS TO PRESS.
ALL ALLIES REPRESENTED
Oave No Indications of What Their
Terms of Peaee Might Be, But Wel
oomed Efforts of Neutral Countrlsa
to Prevent Future Wars.
London. —Another Important contri
bution to the discussions on peace
was made by Viscount Grey, Secre
tary of Foreign Affairs, at a lunch
given by the Foreign Press Associa
tion at which the diplomatic repres
entatives of all the Allied countries
were present.
"fhe foreign secretary made It plain
that the Allies were not prepared to
discuss peace terms and gave no Indi
cation of what their terms might be.
but welcomed any efforts by neutral
countries for a combination to pre
vent future wars.
"I would like to talk, not, Indeed,
about actual conditions of peace,
which can only be stated and formu
lated by the Allies together, and not
by any one of them separately, but
about the general objects which the
Allies must secure In this war," said
the Secretary. "And to do that, I
would ask you to recall that we must
never forget how the war came about.
If we are to approach peace to a
proper spirit Is can only be by recol
lecting and recalling, and never for a
moment forgetting what was the real
cause of the war.
"Some people say;
" 'Oh, we need not go back over
that old ground now; everybody
knows It.
"You cannot go back to It too of
ten; It affects the conditions of peace.
Germany talks of peace; her statas
men talk of peace today. They say;
" 'Germany must have guarantees
against being attacked again.'
"If this war had been forged upon
Germany that would be a logical
statement. It li proclsely because It
was not forced upon Germany, but
was forced by Germany upon Europe
that It Is the Allies who must have
guarantees for future peace.
"In July, 1914, no one thought of
attacking Germany. It Is said that
Russia was the first to mobilize. That,
I understand, 1s what Is represented
In Germany as Justification for the
statement that the war was not an
aggressive war on Germany's part, but
was forced upon her.
"Russia never made the mobiliza
tion of which Oermany has complain
ed, until after Germany refused a
conference and never made It until
after the report appeared In Germany
that Oermany had ordered mobiliza
tion and that report had been tele
graphed to Petrograd.

•t the home of General Gonxales, and
formed a political party, the objects
of which, It Is stated, are to unify all
elements of the constitutional purty
and support the candidacy of General
Carranxa for the presidency. Among
those who attended were Generals
Obregon, Gonxales, Benjamin Hill,
Agullar, Casarlo Castro and Francisco
Goss.
The project of the party, which was
made known by Geueral Gonxalc-s was
snthusiastcally accepted by all pres
ent. The meeting was originally call
ed to select a successor to General
Gonxales as commander of the divis
ion of tbe east but opposition to his
giving up tbe command caused this
plan to be abandonod at least toinpo
rarily.
