together, nor grants us a secend<br />

O God's school and learn cf Him<br />
just how to use time. We ne^d to<br />
Know the Divine values and to understand<br />
the highest uses tc which<br />

aims and motives man fills the<br />
moments as tbey pass. With what<br />
greedy hand he rea.cbe.s out and gathers<br />
from the fleeting days the treasures<br />
of tbi? life which perish with the<br />
losing. With what thoughtless endeavor<br />
aud aimless purpose he tills (<br />

r a wine supper that diminished Mr. Dobbins<br />
roll to some extent; then th*y took<br />
in the local theaters, then a gambling<br />
house or two, then with a few other<br />
kindred spirits, sat about a tab's at tbe<br />
hotel, and Just drank, drank, drank. Mr.<br />
Dobbins kept constantly at the side of<br />
Mr, Debevoise, and kept up a flow of<br />
conversation that was remarkable.<br />
"Hlgginson," remarked Mr, Dobbins<br />
.:ey tumble down, don't stay, but<br />
hustle up as&ln.<br />
to himself, "may know bow to make<br />
An' buckle ir; the harder, all tbe keener money, but I certainly know how to<br />
for the faJL<br />
spend it, all right, all right"<br />
Kot worr>m' about what people say or Mr. Debevoise was not altogether at<br />

Something seemed, from time to<br />
There's lota o" chaps who'd like to win time, to trouble him. He was trying<br />
grand *W.T>/»** wnne fine /?y, evidently sot to forget himself. But i<br />
If 'twaii't fer what the crowd would think,<br />
or whj,t the crowd Would say, Dobbins was constantly on hand with a |<br />
A. little flins, a little aneer, at what they fresh ordtr 5*d a fresh saiiy, and a mer<br />
do, an' then<br />
ry burst of laughter which attracted' Mr.<br />

Once he took out & note book, "I—!<br />

to issue orders on the treasurer of the<br />

taken by merchants acd supply dealers<br />

A sensation was created some time<br />

for a long! gentle, weary drive up the hlli<br />
sice It was such a tedious drive that<br />
Mr. Dobbins himself, was forced to close<br />
his eyes; and side by side, the two men<br />
siept. At East Monroe the driver woke<br />
Dobbins, and. as DebavolEe still slept<br />
they carried him gently into the village<br />

"You can come down now," he sale<br />
to Dobbins, "just as ECOU as you like.<br />

went back to Debevoise with a broad<br />

"Hey, old man,'' he said, "wake up.<br />
You've got some business to transact.<br />
Don't forget that you've got to go down<br />

Debevoise stretched his arms above<br />

"P. E. Hathaways," he asked. "For<br />

Dobbins grinned. "To get an order<br />
for that glue."<br />
Debevoise snorted. Then he reached<br />

paper. "Good Lord," he answered,<br />
"there's their order, for the whole<br />

about $400 as the average wealth per<br />

one-third cf the average amount per<br />
