Alongside the lake lay the residee-
tia�i. Peat "cif Spring Water. The streets
were wide, the houses, large, roomy,
and. far apart Every ,home hrre had
a wide lawn, big verandahs and au
air of security and well-being.
As Emil passed one of these spa-
!pious
pa!pious homes he heard some one 'call
.his. Attlee. A woman was, running
down the (stele of one of these hous-
es. She was running toward•him. He
recognized Lena Rosen.
As if through a m,•ist.:,.he recalled
ewe one's telling Of the Rosen boys'
opening recently a , new store in.
Spring Water and of the Rosen fam-
ily's moving into the exclusive part
of the city.

,University herself. She" was to gradu-
ate from high school in June. Emil•
caliecl of the. Rosea home the next
day .and tee evening before he left.
When he was back again at the
University Emil sent Lena a postal
card giving a view of. some of the col-
lege buildings. He received in reply
a long letter; wiittee on scented pa-
per. -He did not know how to answer•
it orad postponed 'writing; to her from
day to day: Then the examinations
were nearing 'and he had little time
to write=at least that was what he
told himself every tithe he thought of
the unanswered letter,
Abpuli two weeks before the close
of the 'semester another' letter came.
Lena Attributed his not answering her
nate to his preparing for the exgmina-
tions. She knew what' that meant.
Then she mentioned seeing him .as
soon as he came home for. his 'vaca-
tion. She was. anxious to see him, she
wrote: There were ' so., many things
she wanted to talk over with him. She
hoped 'that they would see much -of
each other during the summer and
talk over everything—everything, for
Emil knew so much, and understood
everything so much better than the
people in Spring Water, the people
around her—.
Emil spent an uneasy night• -after
reading the letter, It crowded all else
out of his mind and Lena stood before
his eyes. In fact thereevere hovering"
before him two Lenas: one a girl et
eight with black curls, who spoke in
broken Yiddish' and led him, a green,
ghetto .-boy,"to school; tIie•'other, a
young lady who wrote on :scented .pa-.
pelf—who waited fir him to come, to
talk to, hint, to confide in him. .
He lay awake -Mr h'ou'rs thinkiug
of the girl, recalling her voice, eyes,
hair. . He would write to her in
the .morning—the first thing. •
Sleep finally overcame' him, but
Lena remained with • him " in hts
dreams. . -
When Emil stepped' off the train in
Spring Water, full of eager anticipa-
tions for his vacation, he • was met 1v
his father •who looked blanched ar.d
greatly w,orried, • •
In a„few Words Aaron apprised 'him
•that Hai.•ry. had • •been stricken 'wall
typhoid for. more .than., a Week.. He
had kept it from Emil, 'his father ex-
plained, because he did' not wish to
worry him during the examinations, -
The -next morning"GEmil ;took the.
train' for the little town where Harry
lived and there stepped into, his sick
beether's place id the store,• By the
time Harry recovered' sufficiently to
be able .to tend. to business once more
the 'vacation season was, over. Emil
had•barely time to snatch three days'
rest. and wdnt back to the University.
He saw nothing of Lena that summer.
He followed her into the house.
Mrs. Rosen, who had,been gaining in
corpulency out of all proportion 'since
Emil last sew, her, began hopping'
about, him, repeating excitedly all the
while: "Ah, what a guest, what a
guest!,”. • .
"-Abe,' Mrs: Rosen, •lprotrudilig her
head tlrr,ough the heavy Persian por-
tieres, .add'r•ese d her husband, "guess
who is'here, A .."
1VIr, -Rosen d.'f
not guess, but' walk=
ed right into. the parlor and was face
to face with young Witte,. who was
still standing in the micidld of the
room: He' caifght Emil's hand. .and
shook it• heartily, He looked h;m ov-
er in a fatherly manner,• tapped him
on the shoulder as if to signify that
everything was all right, arfd 'puffing
heavily—for .Mr. Rosen, , tee; was
growing stout—started to pull a Mor-
ris chair toward his guest.
When Emil was seated Rosen be-
gan to entertain him in his own
fashion, which cdrisisted of question-
ing the 'youth minutely. •
Was it going to be a dector..?.,
Na? Well, then, Mr, • Rosen cupliosed
that he would be a lawyer. But whe'n
this su,;rposition 'also .proved wrong,
Mr: Reese's cariosity 'was aroused in
earnest. If not medicine or.law, what
could cite go to 'tile University for:
what else was there?
Emi] began feeling uncomfortable
under this rapid are ',of questions
which followed ' his •monosyllabic' an-
seers.' Lena' noticed this and was
atterripting to explain to her father
that there were other "branches of
knowledge taught at a university. be-
sides medicine and the law, when
Mrs. Rosen entered the 'room, a carafe
itt one, hand and a well -stocked plate
in -thee other. , This ended the 11.isCirs-
•r
ion. •
As Emil was leaving, after having
promised yirs. 'Rosen that lie would
not "act like 3, stranger," and would
come to visit them often during the
holidays,. Lena slipped en' her coat
and went out tvi•tkr him;
. They, walked: toward the lake: -Now
Lena was. showering 'questions upon
Emil. • But, her questions were so dif-
ferent. Emil not only _ answered them
but he soon found himself talking to
her as he had never, spoken to a
stranger' before: . Lt even seem -
d• to him that Lena was no stranger,
but -was something like a sister of
is, somebody somebody very near to him: ,
Why should not he feel, so toward
ber? She was the one who had un-
ocked the gates of the new world to
She had led him to school for
he first time.
He •recalled that episode of their
;hildhood•• Lena laughted. •
"And now," Emil said, and the
nerds seemed` to linger in his .throat,
'now you are "a big girl — a young
He stopped and looked at her in
admiration. A light flush came -into
Lena's cheeks.
"What about yourse]f?" she -retort-
ed laughingly. "You, too, are a big
boy—a man now. . . I suppose you
are in love already," she added after
a monient, eeith a roguish twinkle in
I eye. -

Emil,,turned his face from her. 'A
weak e'mile played about his lips. He

Leight. His shoulders .were a trifle
tooped, his chest caved in. It was
quite evident that.he paid little at-

a total stranger' to' athletics.
Lena quickly shifted her gaze from
his body to, bis face,and head. Vague -
she felt' that it was by his face and
head that Emil would be judged. It
was his 'face, and especially his head
hat made him attractive.
'Ste began talking about his work,
asking what his plans were on gradn-
ation. He would •be a senior in the
all.
A deep.. earnestness settled • over!
Emil's face. `'He was debating with
himself whether to answer her ques-
ion, -whether to initiate the girl into
his cherished ambitions. Lena, how;
ever, was looking at him so expect-
antly, patiently and so full of faith,
hat he did'not see what harm there
ould be in telling her his plans.

these lettersd '.their bearers were
the bane'of nd'' .existence
As a rosettes. of ;i;aet a reporter teed
left The Express the preceding weelt.
The vaea rcy bed • not been filled, and.
Rand was glad to "see a man drift.ie
arid ask for a ipb,,'
Still maintaining his air of b.ore-
dom,' however, the pity editor said:
"There is, no. opening on' the staff
right 'now -a" •
The ringieg of.. the, telephone inter-
rupted him.' When Rand bad hung up
the receiver, he again turned to Emil
Witte with a seeuiingly absent but an
reality searching gaze: • He - picked up
the letter of introduction once mole',
—it was from an influential lawyers
who- had taken an interest in young
Witte—and read it clear through.
. "You speak several languages?"
Rall' asked.
Emil, nodded • affirmatively,
"As I, said," continued the editor
"there is no opening on the staff;, right
now: However, • this, is a metropbl•i-
tan city, and ,e man who speaks „ a
nuanber of 'languages aught to be use
ful. Come in again next Thui-sday
Perhaps something will turn 'up in the
meantime."
Nothing had turned up. by Thurs.
slay, but Witte' was"told to come in
again at one o'clock the foilowing
day. Lae came and and motioned to
him to sit down near one of the desks.
With ° this Rand .etypareetly"- .forgot
him. • At fife o'clock• the city editor
crooked •his finger at Uo'itte and the
latter came up to• his desk at a run,
"Go out and talk with the ,woman,"
Rand said, handing hint te clipping
from an evening paper.
Witte wrote, the interview a,nd laid
the copy on the city editor's desk.
He was again forgotten until nearly
micinig.ht. 'i'hen Rand in passing told
him to• go home, adding, "One o'clock
tomorrow."
mil Witte had secured his first'
job.
..... Every beginner on The Express was
started in with the."Labor,run." N --
was a city of a quarter of .a million
people. It was one,.. of the growieg
manufacturing, centers' in. the Middle
West. , There were abdut two score'
labor unions" in the. city. The news'
of ",these unions- Was printed -°aevel'y
morning on the tenth or • eleventh
page of The Express under the head-
ing' "I t the Labor World."
The following• Hensley Rand gave
Witte• a slip ,of paper with half' a dot -
en 'addresses, of the' principal unions
and briefly .explained what was ex-
pected of him can the labor:.run,
"•You will•, pick up the names or the
other. unions as, you- go along,". Ptand
said. "'Today, be sure to look up -the
iron molders.' Talk to their 'business
agent, Weber. The molders have been
threatening, to -strike. See what you
can get • on it."
On the way -to the headquarters of
the .mold,ers, .Emil .studied the third
of a column• of labor news .in The Ex-
press. Much of i.t sounded strauge.
The phrases, "closed %shop," "open
shop," "boycott," •"]ockoutr' were new
to him. .
• "What became of Cochrane, was --he
flied?" Weber asked 'when 'Witte in-'
troduced himself a.s• the new reporter
from The Express.
Witte did not know • Cochrane, did-
not know who his --predecessor. was.
•The good-natured, • bantering way in
which Weber asked the question •re-
assured him. 'The,agent seemed to be
a good •sort of fellow. He-' was kind
and genial at any rate. So Witte
threw himself at the • mercy of the
business agent. 'He told him• that he
was just beginning his career • as a
reporter, that he had been on The 'Ex-
press only three days and in the city
of N only a week. He would ap-,
preciate it, therefore, if Mr. Weber,
Would give him all .the •news there
was. Be would, be 'especially. grateful.
if ,the •business agent would give him
the news as plainly ase possible so
that, he dould write it down correct-
ly for- the paper.
Weber listened .to the frank state-
ment' of the embryo reporter.
"You want to write labor news cor-
rectly?" the business agent said with
a wry smile. "All right, my boy, go
ahead, try. The Lord help 'you. You
will need His 'help if you. are to get
union, news into The'•Express correct-
ly. But I .am afraid'even the Lord
cannot protect you from your city edi-
tor's blue
pencil." ,
While Witte was pondering over
Weber''s "words, the business agent
was studying tile 'reporter curiously.
Witte was so different from Ills pre-
•decessor•. He was simple and •un-
sophisticated, id the city ways.
"Is your father a' wprkman?" the
labor man asked.
Witte nodded, and he felt the blood
come into his face. Suppose the busi-
ness agent asked his father's trade?
But Weber did not ask.
..Weber supplied the reporter with
the names of a number of unions
whose headquarters were in the neigh-
borhood• and advised him what men
were Worth while seeing in 'each of
these unions. As for the molders,
there was no news that day, he said.
As Witte was about to leave, Weber
added as an after -thought:
"You might say that the molders
are firni in their demands, and if the
negotiations now pending with the
employers come to no satisfactory
conclusion, nothing can avert a
strike."
Witte wrote 'down the statement
word for word. •
Weber watched the reporter not -un-
kindly. To an experienced newspaper
man he would not have said that
much. He would have taken for grant-
ed that the reporter would. have gath-
ered the attitude of the Molders' un-
ion indireetly. Wttte's `f li arimis
cion of his inexperience had moved
him to .this indulgence. '
When Witte read, off to. 'the. city edi-
trot the brief statement of the business
agent, Rank grunted. Witte could not
Make out whether it meant approval
or disapproval.

caliecl of the. Rosea home the next
day .and tee evening before he left.
When he was back again at the
University Emil sent Lena a postal
card giving a view of. some of the col-
lege buildings. He received in reply
a long letter; wiittee on scented pa-
per. -He did not know how to answer•
it orad postponed 'writing; to her from
day to day: Then the examinations
were nearing 'and he had little time
to write=at least that was what he
told himself every tithe he thought of
the unanswered letter,
Abpuli two weeks before the close
of the 'semester another' letter came.
Lena Attributed his not answering her
nate to his preparing for the exgmina-
tions. She knew what' that meant.
Then she mentioned seeing him .as
soon as he came home for. his 'vaca-
tion. She was. anxious to see him, she
wrote: There were ' so., many things
she wanted to talk over with him. She
hoped 'that they would see much -of
each other during the summer and
talk over everything—everything, for
Emil knew so much, and understood
everything so much better than the
people in Spring Water, the people
around her—.
Emil spent an uneasy night• -after
reading the letter, It crowded all else
out of his mind and Lena stood before
his eyes. In fact thereevere hovering"
before him two Lenas: one a girl et
eight with black curls, who spoke in
broken Yiddish' and led him, a green,
ghetto .-boy,"to school; tIie•'other, a
young lady who wrote on :scented .pa-.
pelf—who waited fir him to come, to
talk to, hint, to confide in him. .
He lay awake -Mr h'ou'rs thinkiug
of the girl, recalling her voice, eyes,
hair. . He would write to her in
the .morning—the first thing. •
Sleep finally overcame' him, but
Lena remained with • him " in hts
dreams. . -
When Emil stepped' off the train in
Spring Water, full of eager anticipa-
tions for his vacation, he • was met 1v
his father •who looked blanched ar.d
greatly w,orried, • •
In a„few Words Aaron apprised 'him
•that Hai.•ry. had • •been stricken 'wall
typhoid for. more .than., a Week.. He
had kept it from Emil, 'his father ex-
plained, because he did' not wish to
worry him during the examinations, -
The -next morning"GEmil ;took the.
train' for the little town where Harry
lived and there stepped into, his sick
beether's place id the store,• By the
time Harry recovered' sufficiently to
be able .to tend. to business once more
the 'vacation season was, over. Emil
had•barely time to snatch three days'
rest. and wdnt back to the University.
He saw nothing of Lena that summer.
He followed her into the house.
Mrs. Rosen, who had,been gaining in
corpulency out of all proportion 'since
Emil last sew, her, began hopping'
about, him, repeating excitedly all the
while: "Ah, what a guest, what a
guest!,”. • .
"-Abe,' Mrs: Rosen, •lprotrudilig her
head tlrr,ough the heavy Persian por-
tieres, .add'r•ese d her husband, "guess

1VIr, -Rosen d.'f
not guess, but' walk=
ed right into. the parlor and was face
to face with young Witte,. who was
still standing in the micidld of the
room: He' caifght Emil's hand. .and
shook it• heartily, He looked h;m ov-
er in a fatherly manner,• tapped him
on the shoulder as if to signify that
everything was all right, arfd 'puffing
heavily—for .Mr. Rosen, , tee; was
growing stout—started to pull a Mor-
ris chair toward his guest.
When Emil was seated Rosen be-
gan to entertain him in his own
fashion, which cdrisisted of question-
ing the 'youth minutely. •
Was it going to be a dector..?.,
Na? Well, then, Mr, • Rosen cupliosed
that he would be a lawyer. But whe'n
this su,;rposition 'also .proved wrong,
Mr: Reese's cariosity 'was aroused in
earnest. If not medicine or.law, what
could cite go to 'tile University for:
what else was there?
Emi] began feeling uncomfortable
under this rapid are ',of questions
which followed ' his •monosyllabic' an-
seers.' Lena' noticed this and was
atterripting to explain to her father
that there were other "branches of
knowledge taught at a university. be-
sides medicine and the law, when
Mrs. Rosen entered the 'room, a carafe
itt one, hand and a well -stocked plate
in -thee other. , This ended the 11.isCirs-
•r
ion. •
As Emil was leaving, after having
promised yirs. 'Rosen that lie would
not "act like 3, stranger," and would
come to visit them often during the
holidays,. Lena slipped en' her coat
and went out tvi•tkr him;
. They, walked: toward the lake: -Now
Lena was. showering 'questions upon
Emil. • But, her questions were so dif-
ferent. Emil not only _ answered them
but he soon found himself talking to
her as he had never, spoken to a
stranger' before: . Lt even seem -
d• to him that Lena was no stranger,
but -was something like a sister of
is, somebody somebody very near to him: ,
Why should not he feel, so toward
ber? She was the one who had un-
ocked the gates of the new world to
She had led him to school for
he first time.
He •recalled that episode of their
;hildhood•• Lena laughted. •
"And now," Emil said, and the
nerds seemed` to linger in his .throat,

admiration. A light flush came -into
Lena's cheeks.
"What about yourse]f?" she -retort-
ed laughingly. "You, too, are a big
boy—a man now. . . I suppose you
are in love already," she added after
a monient, eeith a roguish twinkle in
I eye. -

Lena quickly shifted her gaze from
his body to, bis face,and head. Vague -
she felt' that it was by his face and
head that Emil would be judged. It
was his 'face, and especially his head

'Ste began talking about his work,

ation. He would •be a senior in the

Emil's face. `'He was debating with
himself whether to answer her ques-
ion, -whether to initiate the girl into

ever, was looking at him so expect-

As a rosettes. of ;i;aet a reporter teed
left The Express the preceding weelt.
The vaea rcy bed • not been filled, and.
Rand was glad to "see a man drift.ie
arid ask for a ipb,,'
Still maintaining his air of b.ore-
dom,' however, the pity editor said:
"There is, no. opening on' the staff
right 'now -a" •
The ringieg of.. the, telephone inter-
rupted him.' When Rand bad hung up
the receiver, he again turned to Emil
Witte with a seeuiingly absent but an
reality searching gaze: • He - picked up
the letter of introduction once mole',
—it was from an influential lawyers
who- had taken an interest in young
Witte—and read it clear through.
. "You speak several languages?"
Rall' asked.
Emil, nodded • affirmatively,
"As I, said," continued the editor
"there is no opening on the staff;, right
now: However, • this, is a metropbl•i-
tan city, and ,e man who speaks „ a
nuanber of 'languages aught to be use
ful. Come in again next Thui-sday
Perhaps something will turn 'up in the
meantime."
Nothing had turned up. by Thurs.
slay, but Witte' was"told to come in
again at one o'clock the foilowing
day. Lae came and and motioned to
him to sit down near one of the desks.
With ° this Rand .etypareetly"- .forgot
him. • At fife o'clock• the city editor
crooked •his finger at Uo'itte and the
latter came up to• his desk at a run,
"Go out and talk with the ,woman,"
Rand said, handing hint te clipping
from an evening paper.
Witte wrote, the interview a,nd laid
the copy on the city editor's desk.
He was again forgotten until nearly
micinig.ht. 'i'hen Rand in passing told
him to• go home, adding, "One o'clock
tomorrow."
mil Witte had secured his first'
job.
..... Every beginner on The Express was
started in with the."Labor,run." N --
was a city of a quarter of .a million
people. It was one,.. of the growieg
manufacturing, centers' in. the Middle
West. , There were abdut two score'
labor unions" in the. city. The news'
of ",these unions- Was printed -°aevel'y
morning on the tenth or • eleventh
page of The Express under the head-
ing' "I t the Labor World."
The following• Hensley Rand gave
Witte• a slip ,of paper with half' a dot -
en 'addresses, of the' principal unions
and briefly .explained what was ex-
pected of him can the labor:.run,
"•You will•, pick up the names or the
other. unions as, you- go along,". Ptand
said. "'Today, be sure to look up -the
iron molders.' Talk to their 'business
agent, Weber. The molders have been
threatening, to -strike. See what you
can get • on it."
On the way -to the headquarters of
the .mold,ers, .Emil .studied the third
of a column• of labor news .in The Ex-
press. Much of i.t sounded strauge.
The phrases, "closed %shop," "open
shop," "boycott," •"]ockoutr' were new
to him. .
• "What became of Cochrane, was --he
flied?" Weber asked 'when 'Witte in-'
troduced himself a.s• the new reporter
from The Express.
Witte did not know • Cochrane, did-
not know who his --predecessor. was.
•The good-natured, • bantering way in
which Weber asked the question •re-
assured him. 'The,agent seemed to be
a good •sort of fellow. He-' was kind
and genial at any rate. So Witte
threw himself at the • mercy of the
business agent. 'He told him• that he
was just beginning his career • as a
reporter, that he had been on The 'Ex-
press only three days and in the city
of N only a week. He would ap-,
preciate it, therefore, if Mr. Weber,
Would give him all .the •news there
was. Be would, be 'especially. grateful.
if ,the •business agent would give him
the news as plainly ase possible so
that, he dould write it down correct-
ly for- the paper.
Weber listened .to the frank state-
ment' of the embryo reporter.
"You want to write labor news cor-
rectly?" the business agent said with
a wry smile. "All right, my boy, go
ahead, try. The Lord help 'you. You
will need His 'help if you. are to get
union, news into The'•Express correct-
ly. But I .am afraid'even the Lord
cannot protect you from your city edi-
tor's blue
pencil." ,
While Witte was pondering over
Weber''s "words, the business agent
was studying tile 'reporter curiously.
Witte was so different from Ills pre-
•decessor•. He was simple and •un-
sophisticated, id the city ways.
"Is your father a' wprkman?" the
labor man asked.
Witte nodded, and he felt the blood
come into his face. Suppose the busi-
ness agent asked his father's trade?
But Weber did not ask.
..Weber supplied the reporter with
the names of a number of unions
whose headquarters were in the neigh-
borhood• and advised him what men
were Worth while seeing in 'each of
these unions. As for the molders,
there was no news that day, he said.
As Witte was about to leave, Weber
added as an after -thought:
"You might say that the molders
are firni in their demands, and if the
negotiations now pending with the
employers come to no satisfactory
conclusion, nothing can avert a
strike."
Witte wrote 'down the statement
word for word. •
Weber watched the reporter not -un-
kindly. To an experienced newspaper
man he would not have said that
much. He would have taken for grant-
ed that the reporter would. have gath-
ered the attitude of the Molders' un-
ion indireetly. Wttte's `f li arimis
cion of his inexperience had moved
him to .this indulgence. '
When Witte read, off to. 'the. city edi-
trot the brief statement of the business
agent, Rank grunted. Witte could not
Make out whether it meant approval
or disapproval.
