He told himself that he didn't care, but in his heart of hearts he did care, for he knew at that very moment his fate was being considered by the manager, . If he were "fired," the consequence of it caused Win to gulp down aomething that came Into hi throat. There were others who would suffer with him. A wagon loaded witl) lumber delayed liim for five minutes-like the motor man he had to "make time." And then the car came a'ong and found his renr wheels squarely across tha track. The motorman rang his bell Impatiently. The Imperative note of it brought all the driver' resentment- to the surface. "I'll just make him wait a minute," he decided, and elowed up his team. His eyes met those of the motorman, al ready behind running 'Schedule, and Unshed the message of his decis ion. The motorman r saw and under stood. . The driver' rebellion against. and indefinite, wliieh acted like a ma chine. And when we think of it, practically all of u in the modern industrial world he we a magnate responsible to his stock, holders or a motorman responsible to his superintendent, are up against pretty much the same game. Being in the game, the wise man play it as he finds it, however it may tax his self control. He knows that a moment'9 impotent rebellion, without in the least accom plishing reform, may bring a world of misery upon himself and those whom he holds dear, The exasperating course of the driver gave him no real satis faction, it accomplished no reform, the motorman eould gain nothing by run ning down the wagon. But each yield ed to an impulse which, when nerves are taxed to the breaking point, come upon us all. The other fellow's troubles need not be made our troubles, but to avoid un necessarily adding to oiir own load, it is just as well to remember that his troubles ars as burdensome as our own.
