Long ego. when the great city of Gttcheapolls was a rather small, un­ tidy hamlet In the middle of a plain. It used to be that a pool of water, possibly two hundred feet square, gathered every spring Immediately hack o f tbe courthouse. The snow falls thick and heavy I d Gltrheapolls lo winter; and tbe pond was nothing more than snow water that the Ineffi­ cient drainage system of the city did not quite absorb. Besides being the Jespslr of the plumliers and tbe city engineer. It was 'a severe strain on the beauty-lovtng Instincts o f every Inhabitant In tbe town who had any vuch Instincts. It was muddy and murky and generally distasteful. A little boy played at the edge o f the water, this spring day of long ago. Except for his Interest In the pond. It would have been scarcely worth while to go to the trouble o f explaining that It contained no fish. He, however, bitterly regretted the fact. In truth, he sometimes Hked to believe that tt did contain fish, very sleepy Ash that never made a ripple, and as be bad an uncommon Imagination he was some­ times able to convince himself that this was so. But he never took book and line and played at Ashing. He was too much afraid of the laughter of his boy friends. His mother prob­ ably wouldn't object If he Ashed here, he thought, particularly I f be were careful not to get Ills shoes covered with mud. But she wouldn't let him go down to Git d ies [mils creek to Ash with the other boys for mud c a t He was not very strong, she thought, and It was a rough aport anyway, and be­ sides— she didn't think he wanted to go very badly. As mothers are usual­ ly particularly understanding, this was a curious thing. The truth was that little Dan Fall­ ing wanted to Ash almost as much as he wanted to live. He would dream about It o f nights. His blood would glow with the thought o f It In the springtime. Women the world over will hnve a hard time believing what an Intense, heart-devouring passion the love o f the chase ca., be. whether It Is for Ashing or hunting or merely knocking golf balls Into a little hole upon a green. Sometimes they don't remember that this Instinct Is Just as much a part of most men, and thus most boys, as their hands or their lips. It was acquired by Just as la­ borious a process— the lives of un­ counted thousands o f ancestors who Ashed and hunted for a living. It was true that little Dan didn't look the part. Kven then he slurred signs o f physical frailty. His eyes looked rather large, and his cheeks were not the color of fresh sirloin, as they should have been. In fact, one would have had to look very hard to see any color In them at all. These facts are Interesting from the light they throw upon the next glimpse of Dan, fully twenty years later. Except for the fact that It was the background for the earliest picture of little Dun. tbe pool back of the court­ house has very little Importance In his story. It did. however, afford an Illustration to him o f one o f the real­ ly astonishing truths of life. He saw a shadow In the water that he pre­ tended he thought might be a Ash. He threw a stone at It. The only thing that happened was a splash, and then n slowly widening ripple. The circumference of the rip­ ple grew ever larger, extended and widened, and Annlly died at the edge o f the shore. It set little Dan to thinking. He wondered If, had the pool been larger, the ripple still would have spread; and If the pool had been eternity, whether the ripple would have gone on forever. At the time he did net know the laws of cause and effect. Later, when Gttcheapolls was great and prosperous and no longer untidy, he was going to Anil out that a cause Is nothing but a rock thrown Into n pond o f InAnlty. and the rlpp^ that Is its effect keeps growing and growing forever. The little Incident that Is the real beginning o f this story wns o f no more Importance than a pehhle thrown Into the snow-water pond; hut Its e f­ fect was to remove the life o f Dan Falling, since grown up, far out of the realms of the ordinary. And that brings all matters down to 1019, In the last days o f a particu­ larly sleepy summer. You would hard­ NO. IH. ly know Gltrhrupoll* now. Tire busi­ ness district bus Increased tenfold.

The noise from tbe that be was never going to be any older. A doctor as sure o f himself as tbe one be had just consulted couldn't possibly be mistaken. He sat down on a park bench. Just beneath the spreading limb of a great tree. He would sit here, he thought, until he finally decided a hat he would do with his remaining six months. He hadn't been able to go to war. The recruiting officer had been very kind but most determined. The boys had brought him great tales of France. It might be nice to go to France and live in some country Inn until he died. But he didn't have very long to think upon this vein. For at that Instant the squirrel came down to see If he hud a nut It was the squirrel of Destiny. But Dan didn't know it then. Bushy-tall was not particularly afraid of the human beings that passed up and down the park, because he had learned by experience that they usually attempted no harm to him. But, nevertheless, he had his Instincts. He didn't entirely trust them. A fter several generations, probably the squirrels o f this park would climb all over Its visitors and sniff In their ears nnd Investigate the hack o f their necks.
