IAN never is, but always to be blest." .The sunshine is
" never as bright as that goldened by memory and to
3ay ever obscured by the mirage of tomorrow. The very
real and substantial blessin3 we are eniovin? are over
looked in insatiable greed for more for man,liko the
fallen angel, is never satisfied, the more he has, the more
ne seeks.
Discontent is a human characteristic and a certain
amount greatly to.be desired. It is symptomatic of change
and of progress. Guided intelligently it leads toward the
promised land. Lacking vision and perspective, it in-
spires a blind chase after will-o-the-wisps into the dismal
swamps of anarchy.
Whatever progress humanity has made is due to dis
content. It differentiates man from the beast, and civil
ized man from savage. Had primeval man been contented
with ihs lot, we would still be living in the jungle. But to
be worth while, discontent must be constructive. When
destructive solely, it is fatal to progress.

THE STRIKE FKVEIt
My Job Is all I could desire, it yields
me handsome pay: I wrestle with my
blooming lyre for eight briefs hours a
Anv. I outfit to think myself In kick,
to have a Job I like; but all the other
boys have struck, and so I think I'll
strike . No stern oppressor grinds my
fii'ce with cruel Iron heel; to tryunts
in the higher place I make no vain ap
peal. No rank injustice I lament, my
spirit Isn't sore; I have no grievance
, worth a cent, that makes me walk the
' floor. But I see all the striking lads
parade along the pike; they've quit
their work In all the grads, and so I
think I'll strike. I am the only man at
work In all this lovely land, nwho does
not find his labors Irk, who makes no
stern demand. I'm satisfied with what
I do, and with the pay I get; each day
I earn three bone or two, in damp but
honest sweat. I'm treated better than
a king, and life seems pretty slick, and
AS I sit around and sing I can't think
lip a kick. But I am lonesome all the
day, the one contented guy; the rest
have thrown their tools away,- and
they go marching by. I see them wav
ing bright red flags as up the street
they hike; and so my lilting labor
drags I rather think I'll strike.
This country of ours never was so prosperous as it is
today. There is work for all at the hiehest wafes. Crons
are abundant and bring record prices. The wheels of in
dustry are humming as never before. We are producing
mum guuus, growing more 100a, mining more ore than
ever in history. Crowned with the laurels of victory in
a world war, there never was such an occasion for nation
al thanksgivingyet our blessings pass almost unnoticed
as we whine over the trivial and clamor for the unattain
able. It is true that livine costs ,&rp hph hut thpm ia nn
lack of the wherewithal to live. There are no soup kitch

more groundless complaint, more unreasoning unrest,
more discordant discontent than ever in the
regular periods in the past, there have been years of panic Mi,? " .R; A

'Isn't that largely for you to de

"If it is," he answered vehemently,
we shall be something much mora
than friends. Girl, girl, don't you know
that you aided perhaps by this music

'You don't seem to be missing a beat
of the music," I answered with the

I felt slipping from me all too rapidly.

My heart was beating so fast that I
pulled away a little for fear he would

of a cave man, pressed me closer in
his arms.
'Don't you know, girl." he asked.
"that you've got to get used to this?
Your place from now on is next to my
heart."
Really?" I asked. "Point out to
me the young woman whose place I
am going to usurp," I added In a flio-
pant tone to conceal my true feelings.

"t think we had better stop dan

want to ask her why she has played me
the sorry trick of Introducing me to a
mad mnn."
"Yes, I am mad mad for you. Girl,
von surely understand that you are
mine t want you."
"Have you always gotten just what
you wanted?" I managed to whisper,
although my heart was shouting'
"Take me. take me!" ' ,
"Yes," he answered coolly, "and, ac
cording to Kipling 'I've taken my own
where I've found It!' "
"Cave man stuff, I managed to
'aiuth again.
"Cave than stuff," he answered, "if
vou Ike, but the truth for all that. And
there's one thing more that you must
believe I have never said what I have
said to you Just now to any other liv
ing woman."
"Tut, tut! This to rue. when I've
been hearing from all your friends that
you are the most fascinating man in
town."
"That's only the talk of a lot of silly
women, because I've never fallen for
them."
"Arrogance?"
"I'm not arrogant now; I'm the
humblest of your devotees." he hasten
ed. "Can't you see that I've fallen for
you good and hard? Why, girl, until
this moment I've never felt that there
was only one woman for one man in
the world but now I know it. To me
what people have called lve has only
meant a combination of the time, the
place and the girl. Now I realize just
what a fatuous ass I have ben not to
have known that somewhere on this
old earth a girl with your great brown
eyes, your yielding form and tempting
month was waiting for me."
The music died away In cadences
that kept our emotions dancing, although-it
stiled our feet.
I could feel the reluctance with
which'he took his arm from about me,
and although evory one on the floor
was clamoring for an encore, I Insisted
that he should take me to a seat. I
suddenly felt tired and not able to
dominate the love-making. It seemed
to me that I was cheapening myself
by allowing any man to talk to me as
he was doing, and yet my heart was!
crying out for more. I wanted again
to have his arm around my waist, to
ieei the warmth of his body. .
I wnnted'ugain to hear him call me
"girl" fi accents which made the
wor da caress. j
We moved toward the veranda i
where Helen was seated. As we were
wending our way between the doncers,
for an instance I was pressed against j
him and realized that my head barely
reached his shoulder.
"Just as tall as my heart," he said,
softly. It was not the words that took
my breath away, but the fact that the
same thought had come to both of us
at once.
"Don't you realize." he Insisted.
"that I told the truth when I said that j
our place is there?" . i
And at that time, God pity me, 1 1
