"We are thinking of the purchase of
human force. Just as thontrh It weru
so much coal or wood for which some
times we ma.\ have to pay a • high
price, or again a lower price, bul
which may always be bought In suffi
cient quantity if only the price that l»
demanded be paid. That," says Her
bert Hoover In System, "is one of the
fundamental weaknesses of the present
economic relationship between em
ployer and employee." Aud he contin
ues: "Now exactly what the worker
is In process of refusing is to be a 'com
modity your average man is uo
longer content to be merely a part of
the 'labor supply.' By and large the
employees of the country are looking
for a position of right Instead of a
position of consideration; that Is, they
want their rights instead of benevo
lence. Exactly what those rights are
Is the question that we have to solve,
not only from an economic hut a hu
man point of view. This Is our larg
est national problem, for in default
of a better -work relation we shall
have decreased instead of increased
productlun and hence a lowering
standard of living. And if »ur stand
ard of living goirf down It will hard
ly be worth while to consider our oth
er national aspirations, for then we
shall have failed in our real basis of
being a democracy."
Perhaps birds of I he future, conk!
they reckon lu years, might with great
thankfulness lo:>k hack tq 1020 as
marking the beginning of better days
for them. I'uring 1920 a chain of bird
sanctuaries will be established which
will reach from oii' end of the state
of Massachusetts to the other, says
Christian Begister. Within their
bounds our little feathered neighbors
may bring up their children In com
fort aud safety. In Massachusetts are
large areas of wild land of little Use
to any one. Dr. John C. Phillips of
Boston has Just given a 200-acre tract
around Crooked pond to the state, and
the land will be the first of the new
sanctuaries. Birds very soon learn to
know where they are safe. In the fall
the wild ducks crowd their protected
ponds till the Ice drives them out.
Game birds, waterfowl and ail our
song birds will be guarded under the
new plan. For those who do not care
to shoot, 1020 ought to be a happy
year.
The government board oJ education
estimates that ir».iisni teachers In high
schools will be lacking next Sepieiu
her when the schools open. This short
age is a very grave matter, for the
education of the growing generation
Is at the bottom of the whole nation.
If such positions lack attraction for
young men and women of ability and
trai' ing. something is radically wrong.
Prol ably the cheap hut really wasteful
policy of underpaying the most im
portant public work is responsible for
this state of affairs, but -competent
teachers cannot he blunted for spend

living wage Is far inferior to that of a

"The very boldness of him fasci
nated my cousin. Day by day his
power over her crew greater. I never
realized how great till one night, with
out taking even me into her confidence,
she utterly astonished us all by elop
ing with Win. I will never forget the
day that followed. Sly uncle disowned
her, and sent after her a message that
she was never again to set foot Inside
his door. He raved and swore; drank
himself into drunken madness; and
finally ended by driving me away also.
"Your father hnd already declared
himself. My uncle's cruelty hastened
our marriage. That same day he ttok
me to his home us his bride—to the
beautiful gray mansion overlooking
the river. We've sometimes passed It
in our wanderings"—there came a
wistful pause—"but 1 never allowed
you to know.
"There followed a year of such hap
piness as I never knew c<>uld come to
this world—a year that has left bar
ren all the years >liat followed; that
beggared all that went before! One
evening, almost a year to a day after
ward. as I sat rocking you, a baby In
the cradle, and waiting for your father
to come In, thinking, strangely enough,
of my cons In, whom I had never seen
sinee the night of the elopement, a
slight sound at one of the low win
dows called ine to turn! I was far
steadier nerved than I now am, but
I could hardly keep hack a scream.
There stood my cousin's husband. He
was speaking in a half whisper. But
for the moment I was too startled to
make out what he said. He came out
from behind the cartains and drew
near. I shrank away. In low whis
pers, for the maids were jnst outside
the door! he was begging me to leave
your father and come to him—that he
had never loved my cousin—that I
must come—that It was always me.
His voice was hot as (lamp, but It
turned me cold. 1 couldn't move. He
came close—stooped over me.
"A step sounded in the hall. Half
fntmlc. I tried to push Win back
toward the window. At the instant
the door opened, and In It—your fa

never knew a imin'f nice could look as
his looked. I sank into a chair anil
hid my eyes.
"'How lontr lias this been going on?'
he thundered.
The lron-Grav-Woinan shuddered.
The man kneeling nt her side, eagerly
drinking in every word, tightened his
Angers reassuringly upon her hand.
"I answered never a word. I
couldn't," she faltered on. "My breast
was hollow; empty :\s a gray sky.
'"The lady can answer that,' I heard
the voice of the—other mnn sneer.
"There was a cry, and your father
sprang nt him. The maids screamed.
1 uncovered my eyes, expecting to look
upon death. But the—other man leaped
through the window and was gone.
"Your father put the maids out of
the room and stood over me. I dared
not look up. His face—It was ter
rible! Once he raised his great arm
to strike. J've prayed a thousand
times he had—it would have saved me
many a death.
"'You—! But I'll not speak the
name that belongs to you.' His voice
was hard; hoarse; awful. 'And I be
lieved you! There's the window—still
open! Go, If you want him! I'm
through with you!'

slammed It after him. I have never
seen him since." The Iron-Gray

toward the strong rocks above the
trees. "I remember I, took one step
after him. I knew nothing more till

My heart grew hard as I qnleted yon.
lie probably thought to find me next
morning all tears and repentance—for
a sin of which 1 wa* as Innocent as
the babe at my breast. I would show
him that my blood was proud as his.
Wrapping you In your cradle clothes,
I muffled a cloak about me and stole
from the house; stole down to the riv
er. There I loosed a skiff, whose, I
cewr knew, lay down in the stern and
set it adrift. There was not a star.
Only i moon-looked down out of the
diiil sl;y. pale and sickly and rimmed
with red; the gray sky my bosom: the
sickly moon my heart. I rose and tried
to row, but a falutn<>ss came over me
and I lay down again in the skiff.
"Tile next I knew I was on a rude
bed in a houseboat miles down the
river, with a kindly family of pearl
fishers. They told me I had been sick
for a long time. When I grew strong,
I sold my Jewelry, all but m.v wedding
.ting—that I saved for your sake—
bought this houseboat, and became a
pearl fisher. You know the rest."
The Iron-Gray-Woman fell silent;
rocked softly back and forth a lime or
two; allowed the chair to settle still.
The man reached 'an arm around Iter
shoulders and drew her head .over
upon his breast. The little act of ten
derness seemed to touch her deeply.
For a Ion:,- time the tears flowed on
while the young man knelt and mar
veled.
"Mother." be said very gently at last,
stroking her hair, "we must go back
to him."
Ue felt Iter quiver at the word. She

the lloor. «
"For your sake—we must, she an
swered :it length. "But not until you
arc twenty-one, or—we Cud the pearl
—the pearl!"
'•Rut I sun twenty-one In .Tune—this
•Tine—the twentieth; an<l this is the
thirteenth." The man was trembling
with an eagerness he couhl not con
eeal. "The time is so near—his name
■—my father's nauie!"
He searched her wet eyes for the
answer. In all his life, it was the first
time the curtain that hid his past hart
ever raised. It mast have been the
fever that made her speak now. It
was no light matter to unlock that
door: to probe a wound of twenty
years. She trembled up from her
rliair. her eyes wide and wild.
"Your father—The young man,
too, had risen. She clutched his arm.
"Your father—!"
The words seemed to chnl;e her.
There came a torrent of coughing;
and tile man gently eased her hack
into the chair.
As lie stooped over her, anxious to
do .something to alleviate her suffer
ing, yet uot knowing what, she raised
her face in a gasp for breath, and he
saw Mood upon her lips. lie snatched
another pup of watei and knelt beside
her. but for a long time she humped

Iter sfrms locked as if trying to hold
back the cough, until she seemed ac

will. Finally site groped with one

down from the village."
tier eyes opened: she looked up at
him with feverish quickness.
"I've lived twenty years without the
wot Id. I'll not go hack to It now."
"I!tit. mother, if we just keep on this
way, you'll—you'll"—he hesitated at
the next word ; finally let It fall—"die."
"Pie!" she seemed to fondle the
word. "A small thing—to die!"
She sat musing as if she found n
melancholy comfort In the thought.
'•But I shan't die." she continued,
with a hasty glance up at his face.
"My cough is worse today because my
medicine is gone."
The young man started.
"Your elecampane gone!"
"I took the last of It yesterday."
"Mother!"
He went to the cook stove and lifted
the saucer from a small Jar In which
the roots were usually steeped. It was
empty and dry. There was a creat ten
derness in his voice as he came back
and bent over her chair.
"You shall have your elecampane
tea." he said, "if the roots are to be.

sleep tonight in the old cabin up there
under the cool trees."
