"It Is even worne than it leeks,
whispered Judge Owl. "De you re
member the secret Fad?"
Yes Jnnct remembered the secret sad,
and se did Jack. Their hearts were
till aching from the sight of the peer,
iweet-iaced mother, standing before
ber empty cupboard, vainly Making
crumbs te feed her two hungry Children
and her sick husband.
"That secret sad would be a secret
did but for this secret bad,." whis whis
eered Judge Owl. "This old miser is
the grandfather of the two hungry chil
dren ou saw in the cabin, lie .'once was
reed man, but the geld poison get
into his heart, and chilled It Inte Icy
metal. He thinks only of geld and
jewels; he loves only geld and jewels ;
he is happy only With geld and jewels.
He made lils son tell day and night he
he could gait! mere geld and jewels,
and when the son became 111. the father
drere him and his wife and little ones
out for fear that he would have .te pay
for their keep. A few of his coins
would turn the secret sad into a Hccret

rezen heart?"
That wait a big question. Even as
they whlHpcred outside the miser at his
table stacked the geld coins in neat
piles, just as a chlleS plays with his let
ter bleclw. And when nil the coins
were vtacked the miser crept ever te the
fireplace. He lifted n stone from the
fleer. Beneath the stone was n hollow.

In this hollow was a leather sack. The

Jack gave Janet a quick nudge. She
looked te see what the nudge meant.
xicr eyes xraveiea past tne miser te the
curtains at the window across the
room. The curtains were moving. A
shape bulged behind them.
There was n slight sound. The miser
gave a queer squeal and fear gripped
his face. He threw h8 arms around his
geld and jewels and. tried te cover them
with his body. He turned his eyes in a
panic toward the moving curtains. As
he did be n hand came through the cur
tains. The hand held a pistol and the
pistol was aimed straight at the mean
miser.
(Tomorrow will be told who holds
the pistol and what happens te the

Read Your Character
By Dlghv PMUtpt
Flowing Hair 1
There are mero indications of char
acter In the' hair than such features as
its stralghtness, its surliness, Its color,
or the fineness or coarseness of its tex
ture. Its length will often tell you much
of character. 1
This indication, however, unlike the
ethers mentioned, Is significant net in
the .sense of heredity. Fer though the
trait of character it indicates may be
hereditary, it may also be acquired.
Lavlnc aside all theusht 6f conscious
character reading, wuat de you say of
the man who wears bis hair newmg
down ever his coat cellar? Instinctively
fyeu assume that he Is "eccentric." Yeu
form the same opinion 01 tne man wne
wears great big flowing bow tie.
And In this you are doing uncon
sciously only what the character ana
lyst does scientifically. But carry the
thin a aten further. What is an ec
centric person? A "bug," a sealet, a
person who, judged In the light of nor
mill human hnbtt. attributes undue and
unbalanced emphasis en some one thing
or group of things te the exclusion of
ethers. In short, an eccentric person
Is one whose sense of balance and judg
ment is net normal.
The lessen Is dear. De net rely upon
a man with flowing hair or tie, either
in his Judgment or in his instinctive re
actions te circumstance and reason.
Tomorrow Balancing Indications
March
Great Happiness is pain S
And te the budding year
March brings, in driving rain.
In less and grief and fear,
In bitterness of hope deferred,
The joy that spring is near.
March takes the flying clouds
In her impatient arms
And flings them wide, like shrouds,
Te veil the sky's fresh charms
And fright the feathered crowds
With wild and rude alarms.
Yet boisterous, rugged March
Is what shy April needs
Te clothe the ash and larch
And blind upreachlng seeds .
With living green of woodland arch,
And bloom en hills and meads.
