My . own thoughts frightened me. So when we went down to spend the weekend with Terry and Betty j I took my problem along, meaning !to ask Betty to help me with it. It ' turned out. however, that the Win- I ston family had problems of its own, so Meal was temporarily side | tracked. ! Betty's arm was still in splints, perhaps the doctor is afraid to take , it out and let her face the truth. She is restless and rather gaunt. I ! but her eyes are happy. No matter ! | how her body suffers, it is well with I j her spirit. She has love. It comes ! Ito her from Terry's voice, his j : glance, his touch. But Terry looks j ; worried too —almost ill.

LATER ,Imo\ me a thino L wanted to take os to the Hall, where we had taken Betty for the daily torture of having her arm "baked" in a new electric con trivance. "Jimmie, do you know a sure thing?" asked Terry abruptly. "You mean you want to play the market?" countered Jim. "Yes, old chap. Have to. I've only a matter of five hundred or so left till next quarter day. And the little misses needs a trip. They've done about all they know here, and I'm byway of thinking if she had a change—new scenery and all that —she might pull herself up and j help a bit. I owe more than five hundred here. So I'll have to get j an extra thou' or so." "I could lend it to you. Terry," began Jim; but as Terry shook his head Jim went on in a different | tone. It was eager and concise in- | stead of warm and chummy, as Jim's voice always was for Terry: "Remember the stock I told you about the other evening. Anne? The oil company that has sixty per cent, of its shares locked up in the treas ury and wants to make a good mar ket before it sells? Well, Terry, they've started putting the price up. It's about thirty now and it ought to go to sixty in te ndays. Want to get it? "He'd double his money, wouldn't he?" I asked. "There. Terry, spoke the wife who knows all about her husband's busi ness!" replied Jim in a tone that made me furious when I remem bered how only a few nights before he had refused to explain this very deal to me. So I pricked up my ears and listened as hard as ever I could when he went on: "You're safe to go in on a five point margin this time, Terry. And on the hundred shares your five hundred will margin you'll clear up three thousand. Will that see you through till quarter day?" "Splendidly, old Jimmie!" cried Terry in great delight. "Shall I give vou my check?" "No, don't do that. Tm not going to the office at all Monday. Have to go up State and look over the books of a concern we mayunderwrite. But vou send in your check to West and he'll take care of you. He won't be down when we leave or I'd phone him—and we don't get to town till after the market opens. So to get in at the opening price before the stock starts rising, phone West and tell him I said I on him to get vou good execution." "What does that mean. Jim?" I interrupted as the conversation went over my head. "We aren't Stock Exchange mem bers. Anne. West will have to call up some firm that owns a seat and operates on the exchange. They'll place the order. Of course, even you can see that Terry"ll make more 'if he buys at thirty around 10 o'clock than if he isn't taken care of till 11 and the price has gone up to thirty-five." "Yes. I see," I replied meekly, wondering what Terry thought of the curt and patronizing way Jim discussed his business with me. Terry, however, was absorbed in the idea of the transaction which would enable him to take Betty away in search of the stimulating new environment that might help work a cure and give her back the use of her right arm. So he didn't notice shades of voice nor use of words. What he was thinking about was that in ten days his five hun dred dollars would leap into three thousand. When Betty came out to join us Terry turned a face from which all the tired nervousness was blotted out - , ~ "How'd you like to go on a jolly little trip, Bettikins?" he asked. "Can we afford it, dear?" replied Betty. "Well, ra-ther!" declared Terry, flinging his arm about her and giv ing a boyish whoop. Betty turned her head and put her lips to the hand on her shoul der. And when I saw the happi ness on her face. I said a prayer that Jim's stock would behave just as he had said. But I clinched my hands as I sent up my petition. Terry seems to have faith in Jim —complete faith. Why shouldn't I? (To Be Continued) HIS BURDEN OF CARE "I guess I'm about the unluckiest feller alive," asserted the long, nar row. mournful looking individual. "What seems to be the trouble?" inquired his sympathetic companion, ordering something consoling for them both. "I'm jest naturally unlucky—Fate's got it in fer me. I'll leave it to you if a guy deserves this kinder luck. A year ago I gits tired o' livin' in boardin' houses an' I up an' gits married. Now fer a home an' good by boarding house wittles, says I. An' before six months was past my wife she opened a boardin' house to support us. Ain't that fierce? Why couldn't the woman git some other kind of work to do?" He brushed his hand across his eyes, lest a briny drop might embit ter his beer. —Cleveland Plain Deal er. SAFETY FIRST "Why do you want to sell this mule. Uncle Ned?"

SERVISS. "Will you kindly tell me when it is Tuesday hera, what time and where on our globe will Wednesday come in?—J. W. S., Providence." The days are born and die on a line running from pole to pole which is theoretically exactly opposite, on the globe's surface, to the meridian of Greenwich. In strict fact, for various reasons of local convenience, this "date-line" does not, through out its entire length (one semi-cir cumference of the earth), keep pre cisely opposite to the Greenwich meridian, hut broadly speaking it does, and the deviations need not ho considered, as they do not af fect -the result for us on this part of the globe. The date-line runs through the Pacific Ocean, far from land, which | is a most fortunate circumstance, j If the whole circuit of the earth | were occupied by inhabited lands! there might he a good deal of con fusion in regard to the days of the week. People who confine their atten tion to the place on the globe which they happen to occupy feel no difficulty about the change from Tuesday to Wednesday. They may even he greatly surprised to hear that there is any difficulty about soj simple-seeming a matter. For them j Wednesday begins at the moment! (midnight) when Tuesday ceases to' be. Every day is just twenty-four | hours long, and they come swinging! by like an endless chain consisting! of seven links. "Where's the trouble I with that?" some ask. The trouble is just here: Thei length of a day (really a day and a night counted together) is deter mined by the time it takes the earth to make one rotation on its axis with respect to the sun. It is this rota tion that makes the sun appear to rise and set. By universal agreement the day is said to begin at the instant of midnight, and the middle of the day comes at noon. Now suppose ] that, instead of staying in one place on the earth, you should travel westward, which is the direction in which day advances, and imagine i that you could travel just as fast as the earth rotates, but of course in the opposite direction. Then, if you started at Tuesday noon, it would be always Tuesday noon for you as you went westward round the world. You would have no change of day whatever; the sun would be continually overhead. Nevertheless, when you got home again you would find that the people there called it Wednesday noon. Without being aware of the fact, then, you must somehow, some where, have passed from Tuesday into Wednesday (using these names in a world-wide sense), and that happened unnoticed by you because you had the sun always moveless overhead when you went from east to west over the date-line. And next, a little thinking will show you that if you went around the earth traveling eastward instead of westward, or going contrary to the sun, at the same speed as before, and also starting at Tuesday noon; you would meet the noon sun again twelve hours after you started; and that would be, for you, Wednesday noon. Twelve hours later still, when you had come round to your starting point, you would a second time en counter the noon sun, and conse quently you woull call the date Thursday noon, although by the reckoning of the people there, who had not stirred from home, it would be on'y Wednesday noon. Similar results would be obtained without traveling so fast. You might take a year, or a whole lifetime, for the journey, hut still if you went all the way round westward you would lose a day as compared with those who stayed at home, while you would gain a day if you went the other way around. This shows the importance in world business, as compared with mere local affairs, of having a fixed and universally recognized line on the earth, situated as far as possible For Quick Relief From Indigestion Take three or four Bi-nesia tablets immediately after eating or whenever pain is felt. Those who have tried it say that relief and comfort almost in variably result within five minutes. If you would like once more to enjoy the pleasure of eating a hearty meal of good things without fear of pain or discomfort to follow, go to Geo. A. Gorgas or any other good druggist and get a package of Bi-nesia tablets and use as directed. Inas much as every package contains a binding guarantee contract of satisfaction or money back, you don't risk a cent by making this test, and the chances are that to-morrow you will be telling your dyspeptic friends that if they | want to enjoy life they should TAKE 81-NESIA Harry C.HnnterShows Will E' at Third & Harris Sts. ALE NEXT WEEK 11 -J from all inhabited lands, on which the successive days of the weeks, or dates of the month, may regularly begin, and the crossing of which by a ship means either the loss or the gain of one whole day in reckoning, according to the direction of travel. In the particular case mentioned in the letter, we see that if it is Tuesday noon at Providence, assum ing Providence to be situated 71 deg. 25 min. west of the meridian of Greenwich, and consequently 251 deg. and 25 min. west of the date line, then, since 15 minutes of de gree measure correspond to one minute of time, it must be about a quarter before 5 a. m. at the date line. When it was 7:15 a. m. Tues day at Providence Wednesday was "just a-bornin' " at the west edge of the date-line, while Tuesday was vanishing at the east edge. You could pack all days into one unchanging day by traveling with the sun, and holding this gate, and you could double the number of days by traveling against him, hut your life would run on just the same, for time cannot be caught and held in the_ net of the calendar, or whipped up like a horse.
