Toiling along in spurts of grim frenzy Va! and I made our way from the scene of the terrible acci dent in which she and Sheldon had l>een the actors and the victims. We struggled up from the ravine where the river meandered along so peacefully between Mason Towers and Dream wold, and after a perfect agony of effort made our way at last to the Harrison place. It was still very early, only about lialf-past eight. No one was down yet, so I led Val into the living room, made her comfortable on a divan and then hurried to the phone to call the nurses and doctors from Uic hospital in the northern part of (he district. This was what Evvy had ordered, and I recognized the wisdom of getting doctors from a part of the country other than the one whence Evvy summoned at tendants for Sheldon-. "Now I'll go out and tell Bertha that my guest was hurt in an au tomobile accident and needs hoi milk," I said-. "After that I'll call Virginia-"' "P hate hot milk. Make It co coa, please," replied Val surprising ly, and then added: "Be sure you make it clear to the maid that 1 was on my way to visit here when 1 was hurt-. Servants do gossip so terribly."

Giving my ordei-s hastily to Bertha, I made my way upstairs to break the news—or what part of it I was free to tell—to Jim. "Hull-10, Princess!" was his greeting when 1 entered the room, flushed almost to a fever, wind tossed and dishevelled. "My Lilac l4idy looks more like, a bunch of red roses," he added. "Jim, dear," I broke In hastily, wondering how I could gloss over the thoughts in my own mind and tell Jitn the outstanding facts with out coloring his Impressions of them. "Jim, dear—you know we asked Val to come here for the week-end. Well, this morning as I was strolling down to the highway, T saw Shelly Mason's big gray road ster coming along from the cross roads at high speed. Then Evvy'e ear came out of her gate find Shelly Rkidded suddenly and went over the embankment down by the river. "You started," broke In Jim drily, "by saying that you'd invited Val to come along down here for the week-end, Is there any connec tion ?" "Val was In the car with Shelly," 1 replied. "Val? Bv Jove—that's a little bit thick. Isn't it?" • "She . told Evvy I'd invited her here to visit." Jim whistled, but broke off In the middle of his strait) to study my face with an air of grave con cern. "Anyone badly hurt?" lie asked. "Shelly's pretty far gone." "Where is he?" "Evvy took him home. And , I brought Val here. Evvy puzzles me, Jim. She acts somehow as if this were her tragedy, When I got down the embankment with Val, who'd been thrown out on the pla teau, we found Evvy at the bottom of the ravine with Shelly in her arms. He'd been talking to her. She's acted strangely ever since. She took command." "Evvy always liked to run things. Yon know that," replied Jim. "But how's Val? How's poor old Shelly?" "I've a feeling Sheldon's done for, Jim. ? think he lost consciousness after he'd spoken to Evvy, and I'd be surprised to hear he ever re vived."

"Val says she was coming to pay you a week-end visit. All right, we'll tell that to .leanie and Pat. I'll tell that to the world. No rea son why old Ixine should ho made miserable, is there?" "Won't he be made miserable any how?" I asked. "Is Val to iie counted on? Is she ever to be re tted on—ever?" "If she had a lesson to loam, poor Shelly probably brought it home to her. And we've no light to judge what's lor Lane's happi ness." •, "I'm glad you agree with me, Jim," 1 said. "I gave Bertha the idea that she was a guest, and I carried out Bvvy's instructions in getting the doctors and nurses from the hospital up North Instead of from the crossroads, where Evvy 'phoned for people to come and do what they can for Shelly. Now, you go tell Jeanie whatever you think best. I'll hurry down and see if Val can come up lo the blue room. 1 stopped in before I came to you, and it's all ready."

Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax ! "He either fears his fate too much,! • Or his deserts are small— | Who dares not put it to tKe touch To win or lose it all." i Do you remember when every one' J us glibly quoting: I "Steve Brodie took a chance"? : The inference was that lives were! I full of Brooklyn bridges from which j fplks might leap successfully if only 1 • they had the daiing. i Most of us-find ourselves at some j stage of the game called life just j how much we could successfully! ) "get away with" if only we "had i the nerve." And if our judgment \ isn't good we're likely to take risks | in which all the inference and lia-1 • bilities against us chances where | ! we're beaten almost before we start. | How are we going to calculate [our chances so that we neither sit i quivering at home afraid to risk | crossing any of life's busy streets j nor dash into whirlpools of traffic | where we're sure to be run down by [the juggernaut cars that bear down i on us from every side? Between cowardly conservatism and wild gambling there's a broad middle course. But most folks take 1 instinctively to one side of the road . or the other. Youth, of course, is optimistic, , bold, full df faith in life and itself, i I It blunders in and wins. too. where I more sage counsel would hesitate | —and be lost. The aviators of our great war : | were youth in either the compara tive or superlative degree. I've |heard that the average age of the dying man was twenty-three, and I've known several young heroes ot the skies who were under twenty-; j one. • | Given thirty-five and the balance ; and quiet calculation with which it would face and weigh chances, i there was too much mental strain, I I too much deliberate and conscious , herbisnt to make the sort of bird [ man likely to win through without a j shattered nervous system. Youth, j —daring and brave because un- i | afraid instead of daring to he de ! liberatcly liruve was better j Youth, with its optimism, was sub ject to less strain. There were, ! however, great heroes in the flying forces who were men in years. But j they retained some of the daunt ! less, adventuring spirit of youth— ! some of the clash and aplomb with which youth plunges into all things. ! That spirit of youthful optimism, i that spirit of hope for the best, that i belief that life is kind and generous may live In a man of fifty—of sev enty, even. And if it does ll\%, its possessor is going (o win through i the most tremendous obstacles, be | cause he'll never know when he's ! defeated .and so he'll jump up and I start fighting again, when a lesser spirit would have let himself he counted out . Sounds a bit as if I were all for 'the Steve Brodies of life, doesn't it? ! Well, I am. But with a mental ; qualification. If you're going to jump off any ! Brooklyn bridges in the chance-tak ing line, you've got to know some thing about the current where, you | will strike the water, and a lot more | about your ability to swim when ! you do strike it. And it is well to j be posted about your chances of be ing rescued if your calculations , fail. In other words, you have to ; know what your strength is, what • the chances agairut yon arc, and what chances tlicic are for yon in | the line of reserves. If you're going into aviation you'll be tested out in dozens of i ways—heart, lungs, o.vos. hearing, sense of balance, ability to orient yourself, and go through a gamut of I qualities that make or break you as a birdman. t'ourage and daring to Inspire you j to fly or dive or rush into the game i of life boldly and win the high hope ; of youth for victory. But fo justify the courage and daring these other things: A steady, shrewd head to rein force your brave heart. A steady, ' clever hand to carry out the bid l dings of your wise head. And a ; strong, efficient body to put "punch" into the woik of your ! hand. The coward never starts. The i quitter stops before he reaches his j goal. The conservative doubts him self justifiably or timorously. All of : these fall because they are afraid of the risks without which one can't j even cross a teeming city street or j turn a corner of a dusty country road. Bold youth sometimes succeeds witli high hope as lis chief equip- | ment. But he who wins ninety-nine ' ; times out of a hundred is the man who dares to take chances, but cal culates himself and them before he 1 starts.

T have been going out with this young man, with my mother's permis sion. for over u year, ami have been riding with him quite often. When Willi me he seems to love me, but I have seen him with other girls and know that he goes out with them. When I see him witli other girls r lose all faitli in him. but he tells me not to think about the. other girls, as lie goes out with them only for a pas lime. I also have been out with other boys. Do you think that I should give all my love to him when he. by going out with others, makes me fell had. DOUBTFUL. Indeed. I don't advise you to give "all your love" to this boy. Neither do 1 counsel you to demand all of his time and affection. You are children, and you ought to be friends—not sweethearts. 110 WITHOUT IT DEAK MISS FAIRFAX: I am twenty-one years old and have been friendly with a young girl by tile name of Anna.

ANTHONY D. In your case, the schooldavs' in fatuation turned into love. In tile case of your sweetheart it didn't. You have no more right to judge her for i this than to feel bitter toward your self for not outgrowing the feeling of your childhood. Since you cifn't have Anna's love, determine to do without 1 it. to make something of vourseif and : to be man enough to win the next woman for whom you care.
