"For good or bad, the world all bebefore me! Freedom, health?which path shall I take?" The man who spoke was an ex-con| vict. He had just been released from I the penitentiary after serving a ten A * ?- 1 A. TT years sentence ior emoezziemeui. ne was not thirty-flve, yet his hair was streaked with gray and there was a certain hardness about the lips that comes from solitude and resentment In a word, Mark Burnham, with llt> tie or no bringing up, an orphan from a tender age, had wasted five years of his life, had secured a good position. Finally temptation had come, he had appropriated funds of his employer and had been convicted. During all those years of hard labor be had preserved a stolid, rather than a submissive attitude. He had counted the days on a notched stick. The last one had been reached. He was freed with a new suit of clothes and a few dollars in his pocket. At the door of the prison he was met by a lawyer. A distant relative had left him $10,000. A free man, he could now claim it. The snug little fortune or its equivalent now reposed within a secret pocket. That afternoon he had wallied to a line of hills overlooking the country around, to analyze his unexpected condition of affluence, to plan for 4jie future. , His mind was blank as an unwritten page. He had no .friends. He had paid the law its penalty. He was clear of the world, and its fortune, good or bad, all before him. Which path, indeed, might he take! As he recalled how harshly fate had dealt with him, as afar to the east he caught the glittering spires or a Dig bustling city, his breath came quick and hard.

"You saved me!" cried Burnham gratefully, "but you?" "I am hurt internally, seriously," panted the other painfully. "Quick! listen! my side struck a rock when I jumped, but I am glad I saved you." "But, man?" but just here the stranger closed his eyes and lay nerve> less. Only once he revived. "I am dying," he breathed feebly. "Promise me?my brother's widowin the satchel," and passed away, grasping Burnham's hand in a convulsive clutch. The next day Burnham started for a .distant city. He carried with him the satchel belonging to the man who lhad saved his life A change had !come over him. The first strong impression of his new life was the sight :of the peaceful farm life. It lingered like a picture. The second was grati-. tude for the man who had given up his life to save his own. His thought ran rapidly. Suddenly, thrillingly this outcast found his existence directed into new channels. He had seen that his rescuer was buried. Then he had opened the satchel and inspected its contents. From that moment Mark Burnham became Eli Walters. For he felt it a sacred trust to take up the life of his rescuer where the flatter had lain it down. In the satchel he found a little hoard of about two hundred dollars. There were also letters and papers. An appeal had reached Walters from his brother's widow, wnom ne naa never Been, tie had decided to go to her, relieve her necessities and devote his years to care for her and her little family. 4 Burnham found the Walters family destitute, indeed. He had assumed the identity of & relative they had never seen and was accepted as the real Uncle Eli. That hard heart of his softened like wax as he employed the $200 to bring cheer and comfort where there had been despair and suffering. The widow was sickly and almost an invalid. There were five little children. Within a week the children were grouping about him as though he were a real father, and the widow was filled with gratitude and hope. For the first time, one day, Burnham saw Ida Worth. She had been ill for' a month and called while he was in the house. From the first, her earnest,, patient face attracted him. He learned' that she had practically supported the widow and her family for several months, but illness had come and she was now as poor as themselves She said the doctor had prescribed *est, country air, but that was b.^ond her attainment. "I'm going away for a day or two," Burnham told Mrs. Walters that evening. "My dream?I will make it true!" he pledged himself fervently. Two weeks later Burnham conveyed the Walters family and Miss Worth to their new home, a lovely country cottage. He had used his own money This illustrates not only the rapid spread of higher education in the United States, but the way in which society is constantly differentiating into more and more diverse occupations. Go back far enough in history, and there was but one trained profession, the ecclesiastical. In more recent times there were three?law, medicine and the church. Today, no one knows how many lines of effort deserve the name of "learned." In fact, business itself is rapidly approaching the status of a profession, both in the learning required and in the I standards which are being set up to guide the business man. It is this fact, quite as much as faith in legal enactments and prohibitions, which makes the average citizen look for more fair play in the future than ever has prevailed in the past. , The Wrong Thing. "Oh, Johnny's all right. YouTe quite mistaken about him. Yes, indeed. His heart is always in his work." "That's just the trouble with him. If he'd put his hands end b>s brain in bis work I wouldn't s..y a * i word.''?Cleveland Plain TValcr. I - hew shrewdly might he use his little capital in schemes to fleece the unwary, to enrich himself. Then, too, the pleasures of the great metropolis dazzled him. "To live the life?" he breathed hotly? "after those ten years, chained up like a wild beast!" Just then an echoing hail attracted his attention. From the doorway of a neat little farmhouse a comely girlish matron was waving a welconie tb her husband, returning from work in the fields. The observer noted the aspect of comfort and plenty about the place, iho warm genuine love erecting of the twain. His lip quivered, a tear fell upen hi3 outstretched har.d. Me turned from ho sight. "Love, peuce, happiness!" he muttered in a broken tone, "but not for me, the branded! the accursed of humanity!" A bitter scowl wreathed liis face and he walked away from the spot amongst the deep shade of the river path. AX that moment, as he realized that his hand was against every man and every man's hand against him, the wealth that had come to him was as worthless dross. There was a struggle between his better nature and the promptings of his recent environment, but the struggle was not decisive. "Help!" The word rang out involuntarily from his lips. Engrossed in thought, tramping on recklessly in his desperate mood, he had not noted his course. He had stumbled on a trailing vine. The next moment he went headlong aown the steep decline and was engulfed by the rushing waters of the turbid river. There was a rapid 6\virl to the current that at once swept him into paidstream. Burnham was^ not a swimmer. Helpless, he sank once, twice. Then his water-drenched gaze made out a man on the path, 25 feet up the sloping bank. He was a stranger, and quickly dropping a satchel he carried; he sprang into the water Sinking for the third time, aiiao&t unconscious, liurnham felt Je!r.g seized and drnga^d ashore. .As V t'r illy reg-tine.'. iii? i wr - to [ "L'Z': lr 1 Cj UU eldS'tfil to giye to tne wiaow a surety or provision for the rest of her life. "I am going away," he said to Ida a week later. \ He# noted that she changed color and her lips fluttered, and he wondered why. "I must tell you what the others need not know," he continued sadly. "I am not the uncle o? those children," and he told her all. "Then you are even a nobler mail th&n I thought," burst forth Ida impetuously. "I am an ex-convict," and the rest of the wretched story came out 'You have nobly redeemed yourself." breathed Ida. "Oh, do not go away, they need you. We love you!" Her hands had now rested in his own. He looked into her eyes, fearsomely, and then with a rare thrill. She swayed towards him, and he knew that his fond dream had come true. (Copyright, 1914, by W.

TI-- was a time when half the collego .v.duates of America became clergy a en, and when the legal and medical professions swallowed up nearly all the other half. Now, less than 5 per cent of the men who complete college courses go into the ministry, and the three "learned professions" together number only a minority of the college-trained population of the country. *
