With almost magic speed my new
home got into running order. Vir- ;
ginia selected my cook and waitress 1
with the same good judgment that
had chosen the pots in which Angy
would prepare our meals and the
china on which Bertha would serve
them. Tom Mason's able assistants
got rugs down and window curtains
up in a jiffy. Gifts of flowers and
fruit arrived, and every one 1 knew
—from Mrs. Varden to Phoebe—
came to call.
N'eal phoned me daily and sent a
wonderful "house-present," a Dutch
silver bowl filled with my favorite 1
black cherries —the first of the eea- I
son. But he always had an excuse |
when 1 asked him to come to the j
apartment. I could understand that, j
When my home was only two j
rooms, he shared it. and now that I i
have a magnificent place with ample j
room for my brother he is left to i
fend for himself in a lonely board- I

WEDNESDAY EVENING,

. more, 1 don't know.
"He needs a home," I say to my
| self over and over. "He wants a
I home. 1 must find a way to man
! age one for him. If I don't he's
| likely to plunge in and do the wrong
j thing."
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.
The reason for that came out 1
t when he and Jim and I were walk- j
I ing about the grounds of Greyfriars I

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?

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

An' before six months was past my

CURIOUS MYSTERIES
OF THE DAY
BY GARRET P. 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

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.

DKAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Discussion has arisen between A
and B as to the propriety of sending
a photograph to a soldier in France.
A says it is proper as she has been
acquainted with him for over two
years. He has sent her his photo
and several souvenirs from France,
and has asked her for photo several
times while at a camp here and since
he has sailed fifteen months ago.
B says it is not proper, so we have
decided to have you settle this argu
i ment for us.
AN UNDECIDED COUPEE.
I think it would be proper for the
young woman to send her photograph
to the soldier, considering they have
known each other two years arid that
they both seem so well disposed
toward each other. It is when they

HE DEMANDS A KISS
DfCAR MISS FAIRFAX.
I am 18 and have been going out
with a young man for the past few,
months. Lately every time he brings I
me home he asks for a kiss, which 1
refuse to give him. 1 know he loves
me and I am beginning to care for
hi in.
A CONSTANT READER.
As long as you are not engaged to
the young man you have a consensus
of opinion on your side of the argu
ment that kissing is not proper. Why
not intimate something of this sort
to him?
Of Pleasing Personality
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young lady of good char- j
acter and pleasing personality. I j
lam very nice to people I meet. Al- j
i though I have gone out with many j
] young men, still I have not as yet j
j met any I could love. The young !
i men I go out with see me once or I
j twice, and then drop olt for no reason |
at all, therefore I am writing to you i
to please advise me what the trouble j
may be. as I am sure I treat them |
the best I know how, but do not |
succeed in my enterprise.
JUNE K.
I wonder if you do not carry that |
pleasing personality of yours a little j
bit too far, my dear June K. Some- |
times too great a desire to please is !
even more disconcerting that too |
