CHAPTER VIII.—(Cont'cl.)-
.
As his acqnaintanee.with the 'work
of the police. force ,increaeed Dave
found his attitude toward moral prin-
ciples in need of -ffecnient readjust-
ment. By no eneana. a Puritan, he had,
neverth'eless„ twosterling qualities
which so far had Saved him from any
very serious misstep. He practiced
absolute honesty in all his' relation-
ships. His father, drunken although
he was in his later yeat-e, tied never
quite ldst his Berree of oonanerciad up-
rightness, and Dave had inherited the
quaft in Intl degree. And Reenie
Hardy had come into his life just when
he needed a girl like Reenie Hardy to
come into his life. . He often
thought of Reenie Hardy, and of her
compact with him, and Wondered -what
the end woield: be. And meanwhile he
found- the need a frequent readjust-
ments. He becanie aware of the fact
that in evgy community there are
two communities; one on the shrfaee,
respectable,' ..disoreet, 'conventional;
Med 'one loeneath'the ,surfaceet,o'whieh

found that theprovince- of the, police

to the voluntary participants. Under
the sham Of good ,.behaviour Was a
world,known to' the police and the
newspaper men and a few others,
which -refused to accept .staialned con-
ventions and lived; according to its
oven impulse, And this world included
so-called best .eitizenst of both sexes:
And' they were good citizens. It seem-
ed the community had two riatures

a community basis. Splendid qualities,

of selfishness and lust. runningdown
into positive crime. . • And the won-
der was not what the papens printed,
but what they left untold. . . And he
was glad he had met Reenie Hardy,
She was an anchor about hie soul. . . .
And Edith Duncan. .

.It turned, out as Careen predicted.
Oae of the leadih.g lawyers of the city
addressed the court, ' expressing the
regret of his clients that their -be-
haviour, had, neeeSsitated interference
by the 'pollee. He' wad' fullat suave

drew, bearing with hint the double

She was of about the same figure as

CHAPTER X.
, .
While the gradually deepening cur-
rent oce Dave's life flowed, through the
channels of coal -heaver, freight-
hmetlee, shipping•-elerk, and reporter,
Its waters were sweetened by the inti-
mate relationship which develOped be-
tween him and the tiheinbere of the
Duncae household. He; continued his
studies ender 1VIr. Duncan's directions;

was at first. clispesed to feel unkindly.
toward thesis interruptions inhis
regular studies. He raised the point
with Mr. Duecan.
"One thing have been trying to
drili 1016 you," ealdhis tutor; "is that
education is not a thing of bo.olos . or
studies or formulae a any kind. . It
is the whole ,world; .particularly the
world. of thought, feelfeig, „and ex-

in 'the public meeting, whet/her its
purpose be to diecuss the municipal

You ean't affeed to miss any 'subject.
They are deeper than any book. There
are all kinds ef andience's. There is
the violent andienee, and bhe. senti-
mental audience, and the destructive
Audience, and the whimsical audience,
and the hysterical audience—and
every other kind. And the funny
thing is that 'they are all made up of
much the same People. Take a senti-
mental audienee, for instance; a feW

We don't think enough about moods.
We are all subject to mode, and yet
we judge 'a new'aequaintance by the
mood he hapnehs to be in—and the
mood we happen to be in—at thatinte
of making the' acquaintanceship. An-
other day, in other moods, he would
matte sm attite different 1,1anression—if
the impressidn already made could be
effaced. I have a theemy that the
'worlds sorrew 15 lamely a matter of

the need for" sotto*, nor the reality
of it, but I do believe there is a timed

will understand moods, and, perhaps,

who can, bye force of his aiwnwill,
determine the mood in,- which he will

So Dave came to realiZe that every
incident in the reportorial round was
to be assimilfated for its educational
value, and this lent a iteSt to his wOrk
which 11 could not Otherwise have had.
But the attraetion of the Duncan
household grew upon him, and mane
an hour he seent under its hospitable
roof. Mrs, Duncan, motherly, and yet
