Parents' Problems
Should a boy of 12.be given an
allowance, or . should he earn it?
As members of the family each
child should share in aspects of fam
ily life, according to his age and
development. He should share the
pleasures and responsibilities, and
therefore have a share in the finan
cial matters. No child should be
paid for. assisting in the home du
ties. That should be regarded as his
contribution to family life. But he
should begin very early to learn the
value of money, also to learn how.
to spend wisely. Therefore, he
should have an allowance on the
basis mentioned above.
Where It Started
"Bits."
The expression "two bits," mean
ing a quarter of a dollar, or "four
bits," 50 cents, etc., comes from the
early use of the Spanish real as a.
coin in the United States. The real,
having a value of one-eighth of a
dollar, was called the "New York
shilling." In the. southern states
these coins were called "bits," and
from their value two "bits" made a
quarter. The coin is obsolete but
the value remains. .'

The Fortune Hunter shrugged hii
shoulder.
"My dear fellow, no doubt this 11
ll very interesting, but why on earth
)0U should tell it to me 1 quite Mil
lo understand " ,
tjeoffry Foster flushed dully, and
for the tirit time Ihe bitter hatred
he felt for the oFrluhe Hunter
shone in his eyes.
"Because you are the man I saw
in San Francisco," he said savagely.
"I had my suspicions the other night,
but I was not sure until this alter
noon, when 1 saw you in that wo
man's company, i recognized her at
once." He laughed sneeringly.
"You've altered since those days!
You've dropped ihe scallywag an!
turned gentleman."
Th're was a profound silence, then
the Fortune Hunter turned round
and looked liim full in the eyes.
"And how are you going to prove
all these interesting statements?" he
asked calmly. "After ill, it's only
your word against mine, you know I
"Deny it!" said' Foster. "It will
only be one more lie added to the
many you have told since you came
to Somertoi."
For a second the Fortune Hunter
stood like a man turned to stone,
then he caught Foster by both
shoulders with savage hands.
"Say that again and 111 . . ."
Then all at once he fell back,
shaking in every limb and breathing
hard. "I beg your pardon I beg
your pardon," he said hoarsely. lie
stood for a" moment, trying desper
ately to recover his self-control, then
he walked to the door and flung it
cpen. "Get out," he said thickly, and
again. "Get out" and Gcoffry Fos
ter went, with a last backward tri
umphant smile. -
The Fortune Hunter dropped into
a chair.
Tommy came to the door and
peered inquisitively at him.
"I say, John, what's up with
everyone tonight?"' he asked un
easily as the Fortune Hunter start
ed up.- -t
"Nothing you need worry about,
Tommy," he said. He walked out
of the room, leaving Tommy with
a queer expression of cunning on his
thin face.
"Nothing I need worry about, eh?
. . . ." he muttered as he looked
after the Fortune Hunter's tall fig
ure. "We'll see about that."
The Fortune Hunter looked every
where for Anne after Geoffrey Fos
ter had gone, but the drawing room
was empty, and the dining-room, and
it wasonly after inquiring of one of
the maids that he was told she had
gone to bed with a headache.
A headache! As excuse to be rid
of him, not to see him again that
night; the Fortune Hunter went up
stairs two steps at a time and
knocked at her door,
He was feeling desperate; Jie did
not fear Foster, or Fernie, or any
of the people who might suspect him
and make idle threats, but he was
half-mad at the thought of Anne
turning from him.
"Anne . . . Anne . . ."
She did not answer at first, and
it was only when he knocked again
that he heard her voice.
"My head aches please leave me
alone. . I shall be all right in the
morning."
Tommy, creeping inquisitively up
the stairs, -saw the look of respair
on the Fotrune Hunter's face as he
turned away and went to his own
room, and he smiled, well pleased.
He had never really forgiven that
affair of the keys and the opened
box; his was a curiously twisted
sort of nature that brooded over an
imagined wrong long after a broader-minded
person would have for
gotten all about it, and it seemed to
him, in spite of the patched-up
peace between them, that it would be
rather a fine thing to get his own
back on the Fortune Hunter.
He had overheard something of
the conversation that evening in the
study with Geoffry Foster, and his
shrewd mind had already made four
out of less than two and two.
His own room was next to the
Fortune Hunter's and for half the
night lying awake Tommy could
hear the sound of restless pacing up
and down, up and down.
It' was only when daylight came
that, worn out, the Fortune Hunter
threw himself, still half-dressed, on
the bed and fell into a heayy sleep.
He woke unrcfreshed and with a
Stabbing headache, and was late for
breakfast. . v

"Couldn't you ler-p? Tommy
aVed grinning. "I thought I beard
you walking about Ihe room tver to
lite."
The Foiiuue Hunter answered
shortly:
"I've got a vile headache."
He did not stance it Anne, or he
would have seen the look of tender
roncem that fUhed into her evil,
IhoiiRh she lowered theni instantly.
She, too, had passed a wakeful
right, torn between the growing u
picion in her heart which would not
be killed and her love for this mxn,
which told her that be would never
lie to her or deceive her or play her
false.
She saw that he looked ill, and
desperately unhappy, and her heart
ached for him; she wouldshave fol
lowed liim into the garden after
breakfast but that Mr. Harding fore
stalled her and called to the Fortune
Hunter to wait for him ai he atrolled
off alone across the grass.
The Fortune Hunter turned. brac
ing himself with an effort, and Mr
Harding: laid a friendly hand on hi
arm.
"Is anything the matter, John?
he asked in kindly fashion. "You
don't look yourself this morning."
The Fortnut, Hunter tried to laugh,
but it was not much of a success,
and Mr. Harding went on:
"If it's anything to do with busi
ness, ajd I cao help you in any way,
I shalf be only too pleased" he
glanced up into the young man's
haggard face and added: "I hope you
will look upon me as a friend. It
it's a question of money"
The Fortune Hunter seized des
perately upon the opportunity offer
ed him.
"I'm afraid you've got ft, sir," he
said shakily. "The fact is, a a draft
I've been expecting hasn't come, and
I'm . . . I'm in -the dickens of a
mess." He laughed, more natually
now. "It .sounds absurd, I know,"
he admitted. "But I've only got five
shillings in the world."
Mr. Harding laughed too, and
clapped him on the shoulder.
"Well, well, why didn't you tell
me? I can help you out, of course.
I know its only a temporary embar
rassment. ' . : let me see, what was
the windfall Anne told me you scoop
ed over those gold mines?"
The Fortune Hunter looked away.
"Roughly a quarter of a million.
I believe. The money's there all
right; it's onlv that just for the pres
ent I .. . ." ,
"Say no more. I understand.
You shouldn't have left ycurselt
with such a small margin, though.
Come along to my study, and I'll
let you have a check."
They went hack to the house to
gether, and Mr. Harding unlocked
his desk and took out a check book
"How much shall we say a
couple of thousand pounds?"
The Fortune Hunter caught his
breath with a harsh gasp. "Make it
more if you like," Mr. Harding went
on casually, his face bent over his
writing. ' "Look here, I'll make it
2,500; that will see you through the
wedding vand- all the rest of it c'om
fortably eh?" . ' -
The Fortune Hunter tried to find
his voice, but failed. His enormous
relief was almost outweighed by the
dread knowledge that by accepting
this money he was adding to the
load of debt and deceit he already
carried; and yet what could he do?
There were but'two alternatives to
throw up the spong and make a
clean breast of everything, or go on
until he found himself . trapped in
the network of his own lies.
, With an effort he forced himself
to speak.
"Two thousand will be ample, sir
. . . I don't know how to thank
you. I " Mr. Harding cut him
short.
"Tut, tut I I'm only too delighted.
It's not as if you were never going
to pay me back." .
He blotted the check and tore it
from the book. "There you are,
John, and here's 20 pounds in notes!"
He laughed. "Fancy you with only
five shillings in your pocketl What
in the world would Anne say if she
knew?" .
He pushed the check arid notes

Jack and Jill
"My dear child, why on earlh did
you come into town in this rero
weather, dressed ai you are?" de
manded Jack, as he met Jill at the
station.
"Put my furs are warm, dear. You
paid enough fo theni to Weep them
tinting hoi."
"The furs. yet. but look at the
flimsy danring pump and those
gaure silk Hoiking. There' about
at much warmth in theni as in a
coal dealer's heart!''
"I'm perfectly comfortable," Jill
answered disdainfully. "It it not
necessary for women to wear turh
heavy clothes as men, ejtiyway for
they have an extra layer of fat pro
vided by nature." -
"Who said you were fat?" indig
nantly demanded Jack.
"Oh, I read it in some old scien
tific book."
"How did it say you had an extra
layer of fat?"
"It said that from prehistoric
times, when women lived all day j
long in the caves, while the men.
were out fighting mammoths and
boacon stridors, nature supplied this
extra layer to keep them warm. So
all women inherited it."
"Nonsense. You're no cave
woman. You're a dainty little
flower."
"Jack, you're very sentimental to
night. If you hadn't been a cave
men I never would have accepted
you!"
So they went their way to dine
with some friends on upper Madison
avenue.
It seemed, when they started for
home, with the long ride to the de
pot, that Jack Frost had declared
wir on mankind.
"Aren't your ankles cold, dear?"
asked Jack, solicitously.
"Of course not! My stockings
are silk. Hut. Jack, your ears must
be freezing!"
"Not at alt. -Hut I do wish that
car would come."
He peered up the long, windy
street, but there wasn't a street car
or a taxi in sight.
Jill was jiggling her feet and Jack
caught her rubbing one ankle against
the other.
"Now. I think that's idiotic," he
said. "Just to tie fashionable, you
make a' martyr of yourself and die
of pneumonia."
"Why don't you turn up that big
collar about your ears, dear," was
the response.
It was nearly half an hour before
the car came. Jill could tell that
Jack was miserable with the cold,
as they rode home on tile tra'.i. But
he would not admit it.
"Dear, your ears look so funny,"
she said when they got in the house.
"They're positively purple!'
Jack rubbed them ruefully, and
peered into a mirror.
"By Jing, they're frost bitten. I'll
have to put some cracked ice on
them." And he did.
"Well, you were too fashionable
to turn up your coat collar!"
"Yes, Jill, but you didn't turn up
