Theo Qassle “ T knew this was coming— aoma time,’ she said, "and I dreaded tha m o ment. Jim, I think a lot of you. You’re very clever, but—there's one thing, a tremendous big thing, lacking In you. It's physical power, or (he ability, to control physical power. You may have a great mind, but you are puny physically. I admire strength, I ad mire power. If you were only like— like that steam shovel there, tearing away at the earth, crushing all resist ance, I could be happy with you. Some day there'll be a mammoth building there where Ihe machine Is working. “ ‘I can’t'help it, Jim, and probably it seems foolish to y o u ; but I must tell you, no matter how it hurts, that If you were the' engineer on that steam shovel you would sttyul a much bet ter chunce with me than you w«iuld as a lawyer. At least, you would be' earning money with your strength, for the man that «»iterates the shovel must be strong.’ "I confess that little speech floored me. We started to walk away, but a wugon arrived, and the steam shovel sturted operations again, and Cassie had to watch It some more. . I strangled, gulped and finally managed to say, weakly : . “ ‘Yes, and some day I’ll have an office In that mammoth building.* “That was the last time I wns ever with her. With mingled disgust, bit terness and sadness I went back to college and finished my course. I came home with my diploma and It was not long before I began to win. success—success such as It la. I’m making good as s criminal lawyer. I'm winning victories right along In court, butgvhen It comes to finaimes I admit I’m not overburdened. I have a few thousagid In the bank and I’m making more every «lay, hut I’ll never be rich. Perhaps I would save more If I had nn Incentive— like that steam-shovel engineer has.” "You mean—” I broke In, my eyes popping with astonishment. "Yes, I mean that Cassie somehow got acquainted with the engineer of the steam shovel und married him .. She took thnt man, grimy and Ig norant, who worked with his hands. Instead of ine, clean and educated., who worked with my brain.” Glenqulst’s cigar had gone out; and he rose and went across the room to a shelf where he kept matches. His clgHr stand, at his elbow as he sat and talked, whr never known to hold a match, although »there was a place for a box of them. He took a few puffs ami came hack to the chair. "Well, I made good on my boast that some day I would have an office In the skyscraper that was going up where the shovel was excavating,” he Observed. He leaned back and looked dreamily Into a nicotine cloud ./. "It seems the engineer was rather clever In a way, at that,” he contin ued. ' “At least he knew how to save coin, and somehow he managed to In vest It advantageously.” He rose ahd went to the wtndow, looking down on the traffic which slowly was being obliterated by gath ering darkness. “Come here,” he said, and when I had obeyed, he pointed nt a big yellow automobile J u st coming to s stop at the curb in front of the building. "It’s the owner of the building,” he explained. “He usually collects my rent on this day of the month. He’s coming at rather a late hour, hut he’s pretty sure he’ll find me here." We returned to our chairs, and Gleuqulst partook <»f a few puffs on his cigar. “He’ll he up here In minute,” he said, “nnd I wish you’d observe him closely. He’s the n an I’ve beep talk ing about—Cassie's husband." "There la no accounting for the tastes of some women when It comes to men,” Gleuqulst observed, flicking the ashes from his cigar. "Maybe It’s their Intuition,” he added, drawing his lungs full of smoke and exhaling through his nqse.
