It was .his own play—the first the popular actor -manager had . ventured to place on. the boards:. It was known that he had ambition to write, and; there was a good deal of carping over! that desire, based on the assumption that already he had enjoyed 'a lion's share of the gifts of the gods.

There wasno smile on her small brown face which Peter noted had grown so sadly. thin. Her black frock seemed to hang loose- ly on her slender figure, and her whole appearance struck a pathetic note. "How do you do, Peter? Don't turn me out without waiting a moment. I ran over to say good-bye to Aunt Isabel and Lucy, not Imo -wing they were not here. And I was so tired, I asked Ramsay if I might sit down for a moment to rest. I'm going now." She began to move towards the swing -doors; but Peter intercepted her. "Sit down and don't be absurd, Judy," he said in his very harshest voice. "Why should I turn you out? You have done nothing." "I thought I had," she answered meekly, nut -Lean -stop .stop another min- ute, if you don't mind. I've only just come. I never found Barassie rough. and difficult till this evening, Peter!

She had never withheld from her cousin appreciation for qual- ities which the rest of creation denied him; and all through she had been sorry for him, -and was even now glad of the opportunity to toll him so. She nodded, and sitting there 'on the Monks' bench, her feet hardly touching the floor, she looked so oddly young and childish, that Peter Gar- vock felt something tugging at his heart -strings. He had nbt been a con- stant witness of and sharer in his cousin Judith's brave, sunny accept- ance of life without having been in- fluenced by it. The thought that she was going clean out of his life, be- yond his ken, suddenly beeame an Intolerable one. "If you came to say. good-bye I i re - slime you are going somewhere; he said, trying to steady himself. She nodded.

Judy did not know what made her conclude with such a ridiculous word, which was followed by a. trill of hy- sterical laughter, But. it was not pos- sible for her to let herself go too far, or for any space of time. She was quick to put the curb upon herself. • "Forgive me Peter. Its just be- cause I'm so deadly. tired. I've been packing up all day and everything is ready to be lifted to -morrow..

Alan has seen them. I daresay you have heard the name—the Gilmours, who had Black- rock two years runnings from the Symingtons?" "How long have you let for?" asked Peter, and it was as if the questions were being dragged from him. He had no idea how unerringly Judy was reading him, how she could follow the tortuous and rebellious workings of his mind. "Sevens years, with a break at three and five.

For this reason I chortled with glue the other day when I picked up a boor; called "Thomas Alva Edison -An In- timate Record," by Francis Arthur Jones. 'nor I concluded that there was;, hope'for us ordinary mortals after all' when I read that Tlronlae Edi'sen,° the mighty wizard of invention, was fired —disgracefully, ignonhiniusly ; fired, from at least three of his early joks. Edison's First Job. -Yroung:Tlromas' first job, which he took at •the age of eleven, was as', Candy butcher: on the train between Port Huron and Detroit, Mich. He lost' this, when, is the course of a chemical experiment, he was starting pretty early at the game of tinkering with in ventions---he nearly set the train on fire. Ambitious Thomas at this time had - • a printing press in th-e teteser `wsteeTreni which ho struck tiff a quaint little newspaper of his own. When the fire ocourre d , says Mr. ,1ones, the eotiduct or of the train "let out a flood of elo- quence which sounded like a chapter from a ' Scott novel; and • when the train arrived a few minutes • later at Mt. Clemens station he pitched the young experimenter onto the platform and hurled after hint the type and printing press, the telegraph' epparat-: m us, and the bottle of chemicals. Then he signaled the train to proceed, and left the future • inventor forlornly - standing among thee ruins of''his .most cherished possessions. A little while later Thomas ,had an experience that may have e he:p ecl him make up his mind not to be a news paper man. He used his press to get out a little~newspaper which he ealled "Paul Pry," and in It said something"- that outraged the dignity of a certain gentleman of Port Huron, •whereupon the offended citizen picked upthe editor by the slack of the pants. and threw him into the canal, Genius Proved His Undoing. : Thomas Edison's job number two was as night telegraph operator at Port Huron station. Since .he. worked ' at his scientific experiments all da. Y instead of goingtoin: bed, he was inclined d to be `asleep at the switch" during. working hours. The train dispatcher; oe discovering this, ordered young Edi- son to signal him every half-hour to prove that he was awake, whereupon enterprising Thomas rigged up a - de -- vice that gave the signal punctually . li every elf -hour while he', blissfully slept. Which, Mr. Jonestells us, ac- counts for his being fired from that particular job. Turning up in Memphis at another telepgraph post, high-spirited Thomas .. first startled the office. 'by his speed and efficiency, then got his walking papers again—this time for dancing the - "can -Darr" during working hours, upsetting` several telegraph; . instru- ments.

Edison's first serious inventions, we , are told, were an improved stock er and a recording. ,device. The presi- dent of the Gold Indicator Company . sent for him to ask bis price for these. Says Mr. Jones: "The inventor, •iuod- - est in his demands, was about to en- tion; five thousand dollarswhen good sense came to his aid, and he replied that he would rather the president made him an otter. ' Whereupon this gentleman mentioned forty thousand dollars." ,- It is interesting' .. to read irr-'"'Mrr Jones' book that the phonograph, re- 'ceiveii as a miracle by the whole world when it first appeared, was regarded '- by 'Edison himself as 'the simplest of his inventions. In his, experiments on automatic telegraphs he noticed that a stylus on„which he had recorded dots and, dashes produced sounds as It vibrated. Having' his own labora- tories now, he sat down to make a sketch` of the first model- of a phono- graph, and assigned one of his work linen, john Kruesi, to put it "together. All of which sounds very simple in- deed—after it's it's been evolved.: It's chiefly for the pleasant and well-rounded picture it paints of Thorn. as Edison as a personality; a roan who • Is remembered by his old associates' as a "character," a lover 'of practical !jokes and a roan full of human jiioos, that . "Thomas Alva` Edison -An Inti- mate Recoil," is an enjoyable book.
