Adopted Into and brought up to be an ariatocrat of wealth, he had no Interest In money except to spend It. I don't mean that he waa especially wasteful or es pecially extravagant, but only that he look no Intereat in how the money had gathered or how It could be made to work. Hs was much mors Interested In horses and boats and dogs and shoot ing than In any of his patronia financial affairs. He went to boarding school and played oa the foot ball team and the hockey team and the base ball team. He took prises in everything that he engaged In, except studies. It was the same with him at college. He spent half of his time winning trophies for his college and the other half making friends for him self. When he graduated Mr. Barclay tried to teach him banking, railroading and a few other trifles all at once. Mr. Barclay had not patience with the Idea i that it la best to begin at the bottom and work up. He believed In beginning at the top. Tommy did his very best to ! make good. He attended long-drawn out ; directors' meetings and he racked his j brains to understand what they were all j about He travelled all over the coun , try to Inspect this property and that, and onoe he almost got Into touch with fl I nance; at least he found amusement in I one aspect of It. In short, he was sworn In aa a special deputy In a time of coal trouble and helped to put down a strike. Mr. Barclay did not expect too much of Tommy, and soon saw what little ha did expect he was not likely to get. But he was very fond of him and tried to make the beat of him. Tommy spent all his leisure time playing polo or tennta or washing off on hunting trips, and some fourteen or fifteen years after this story opens he became very much Interested In Miss Mary Blackatone. He badn't forgotten the little Ames- bury girl. He never would forget her, but whet is the use of a little girl who lives In heaven to a young man who doesn't? Tommy often dream 1 about her still. As he grew older she grew older, and the heaven In which -he lived and was rducuted by the most scientific and phtloaophlrat of all the salnta and angels, became more snd more sophisticated and less and less like tho pslsre scene In a comic opera .bad a hundred rooms in It; other people said that there were 0. These, however, did not effect Tommy. He wss on the most cramlng snd intimste terms with her father, and there was one southwest room In which ho spent many and many a week-end. which was alwaya known to the Blackatone family a Tommy's room. Mary Blackstone rido horses, played tennis and swam In tho surf ss w-ll as a i tron and coranecio bo. Tommy never knew whether l.e was Mure st tractive in athletic clothes or when, aa the ex pressed it, she was dressed to look like a real lady. Every phase of her appear ance charmed him. Unfortunately, these same phases and every tilng slse about , ? ii- ine rine vrt or i.nvincf ! i C I I II her charmed a good many other men. If she liked Tommy better than any body elsn she was In no hurry to say so. Hhe didn't want to cut herself off from all the other younx mon, whom she liked almost as well, Carlton rltch, for in stance. Carlton Kit'h was Mr. Barclay's nephew, and In some ways was a great favorite of his uni'le's. He took so much Interest In his uncle's banks, railroad mlnca. etc., that you might havu thought that he exiwcted to own them eoinn day. Ha was not only a nominal director of a great many corporation, but a very real director In the affairs of hslf a', down of the morn Irnportunt. He never neglected work for play. Pome people admired him tremendously: others said thsy wouldn't trust him around tho corner with a 6-oent pice. Outwardly, he snd Tommy were al ways friendly and pulite to each other. even after they had become open rivals for Mary Blackatone a approval, but nn wardly, each had a certain contempt for the other, snd. In addition to this, CTarl ton FiUh, waa lealoua of Tommy, for be had expected to Inherit almost the whole of Mr. rar lay's money, and since Tommy's adoption It looked as If he waa going to Inherit very little of It Indeed. He would be rh-h, anyway, but he wss I very greedy for power. (To Be Conlnued Tomorrow.) Willi aa to Compromise.

Passion haa been plentiful, but love ecarce"the love thst suffereth long and Is kind." However, our own America has more love In It today than tt ever had before. To love and be loved means the highest form of happiness that mortals know. Not to love or be loved means mis ery. Those who are well loved live long and well. These are the people who ac complish results in the world of art. music, literature. acting oratory, business. Love" and "life" are synonymous terms. To love means allying yourself to the forces of the universe moving with the eternal tides "hitching your wagon to a star." To love one Is to love all. For loving one we are in harmony with all. Then do our footfalls tinkle with the mualc of the spheres, and the days are radiant. To be loving and lovable one has to have certain qualities physical, mental and moral. And our moral and metal qualities, psychologists now tell us. turn largely on our physical condition. Those rare moments when we are In tune with the Infinite are only possible when the body does Its perfect work. "The sick man Is a rasoal." said old Tit. Johnson. And the world now knows It Is true. To be well Is not only a privilege but a duty. The. days of the flagellants are gone. The chief cause of Illness among Amer lean la overeating. In India It may he famine, but here, as a people, we eat to reDletion. and our energies are taxed , getting rid of the waste Moat of our maladies are caused by malnutrition. Relief is sought in medication and the "dope habit" Is upon us. Hluggtshness follows stimulation, aa does night the day. There shuffles In a drslrs for a pick-me-up, and the msn becomes a "fiend." All of his energies are bring consumed In running his boiler: there Is no power left for the pulleys Bad breath, watery eyes, psln In the side, dancing spots on the vision, flatulence, dlsxltiess, head- acba, all mean food poisoning. w Is usu- ally a form of Indigestion. Msny people est four meals a day breakfast, luncheon, dinner and supper after the theater. Such folks are bound to suffer, and much of the time are. con sequently, unloving and unlovable. When you are aware you have a stom ach you are given to introspection, and introspection means misery. And misery Is contagious. Also, I might add, that happiness Is not only contagious but Infectious. Joy runs over and Inundates every thing. It bubbles, effervesoes, overflows Its banks and makes the waste places green. We keep Joy by giving It away. A thou girt Is not our own until we Im part It to another. And In order to have sweet and Joyous thoughts you must have a body that ran mirror your Joyous mood. If we were aallors, living twelve hours or mora a day In the open air, we could Stuff our holds with a mixed cargo and yet thrive. But living much Indoors, with vexed mental problems to solve, we need the. fertile mind and the insight that sees things In their true light To this end we must get rid of the farmhand habit of overeating. We want leas food and better food We would be gallsnt, generous gentle men, and Intelligent, gracious ladiss, all, The sick, the grouchy have got to go, We would possess our souls In patience. We would know the fine art of listening. We would sit In the silence with our friend without embarrassment and paok each pause with feeling. For only then are we lovable. To be lovable we must have certain mental and moral qualitlea By mental qualities Is meant the traits of character that make you able to put yourself In place of the other person. This mean:) deference for the rights of others, consideration, sympathy, slownasa to blame and quickness to command. Mental qualitlea are those that we use in making decisions. Mentality means memory, knowledge. Insight, ability to far problems and sorve them rightly,' to throw the searchlight of Imagination into the future and thus possess the proDhetlo vision. People who are harried, worried,. In doubt, are dangerous In a business way, unsafs and unreliable. They blame H their Ills on others and have a faculty of making a whole house hold miserable.' , And. of 'course, they, are unlovable. huoh people have a coated tongue. cracked lips, - blotchy complex toua, dull eyes, yellow teeth. i Cut down yeur food quantity.

Tersonally 1 do not consider that any thing ran really Justify a lie, white or otherwlae. Certainly there may arise oo oaslona when It Is extremely difficult to avoid speaking the truth, and prrhspa ' getting some Innocent person Into trouble. This state of affairs should never arise, and It would not If even one had a nice senMe of honor. The dangerous hsblt of spying Is found In alt ranks of lif from the highest to the lowest, and It Is this habit which has led to the necessity of uiang a "white He." Once, years ago, I took a girl of 14 to task for telling an untruth to an older woman who had been questioning her about some relation. "You know your answer should have been unite the opposite." "I know," she owned, but how could I tell her the truth?" Jhe only ssked out of pure natl- rss and curiosity. I like the A, they re friends and I have no Intention of taking part In a family quarrel. V by houtd I tell anyone about themT" It la this point 1 want to Illustrate, o person whether In authority or not as a right to ask anyone else question from which she csnnot expect anything less thsn "white lies" In reply to her question. At first the "white lies" may- be "poke 1th a sense of shame, a fear that the ' subterfuge may be found out. We hardly like to meet the person again for a few days. But one untruth, even the mildest . of "white lies" will need another to Jus- ' tlfy It. and the first "white lie" demands nothtr to support It, and while the first waa uttered with fear and mlsslvlng, the others that follow become easier to ut ter, until at last there Is no difficulty at all In using a "white lie." Among my old friends there are women who In theory would never descend to a lie. but who have become unconsciously , so addicted to the telling of "white lies" . that they use them at all times and paeons. Once I had been Invited to take tea with a friend. She lived at some dis tance from my home, a long two miles ley between our houses. I reached her house at 4:30 to find it empty and my , friend apparently out. Knowing her . fancy for long country walks I made my way Into the garden and waited for half an hour, and then returned home feeling rather cross at having had my walk for nothing. The next day she came and reproached me for having dis appointed her. Blie had been resting and had not heard ray knock. Why hadn't t opened the door and walked In? I might ' have believed her, but unfortunately I had tried the door and found It locked. ' I had met a mutual friend, who had in formed me that ahe and my absent friend had been out on the river all day, and that the latter had only remembered her ' Invitation only an hour after the time ha should have been at home to receive ' -me. Now Z am wondering why she had ' not honesty to tell me the truth. We : were old friends and there waa no neces sity for her to have hidden the fact that ' he had forgotten her appointment. I should not have felt half the annoyance I did when I heard her utter a deliberate ' untruth. In-Shoots It Is a wise poltlclan who can make his constituents forget the campaign prom ises.
