Jack and Jill
; "It'l time to get up, dear," aid
Jill, waking. "U' (iv minutei t
ter six!'
"Oh, I'm sleepy, Jill. Thi. it the
fourth day of this mnrUe exercise
stuff, and I'm tired out before I
start my day' work." ,
Jill was inexorable.
"I've lost three pounds and foui
mornings' rest," grunted Jack. "Be
nides, 1 ruined a pair of hoe , clam
bering up and down hills."
But he submitted and was oou
downstairs to join Jill. Over the
hills they rambled, climbing up rock
ascents, and almost tumbling down
on the other sides, until they com
pleted a rapid detour of at least five
miles, and came back glowing from
the exercise in the brisk morning
sir.
"You'll have to hurry that break
fast and make it double on the eggs,
dear. I'm late for my train." .
Jill hurried, and Jask was soon
racing down to the station.
The next day was a national holi
day, and Jill's eyes glowed at the
prospect of an unusual athletic
stunt.
"We'll take a long walk in the
morning," she told Jack, "Let's try
a fifteen-mile jaunt, and then eat at
some edd country tavern while we
are about half way through and
about to start back,"
"Can't a bddy rest on a holiday,"
exclaimed Jack peevishly. "That's
what a holiday is for so the labor,
ing classes might have a good sleep
and be glad that the nation had
something to celebrate."
"Jack, you're weakening, I
thought you were on your athletic
teams in college 1 You're growing
old, and losing ypur pep I"
. Jack dreamed of football and base
ball days, until Jill awakened him
as the roseate dawn peeped through
the window.. .
"Now for our fifteen-mile walk,
honey," she said. "I'm half dressed
already, and had the nicest, iciest
cold shower you can imagine. Hurry
up. sleepy head,"
. Jack made no complaint, but there
was a menacing glint in his eyes.
. , He selected his very oldest shoes,
and dug up a pair of woolen army
socks. ' ' '
Soon they were striding out, along
the quiet streets -of the suburban
hill and quite alone in their ram
bling. . "
"Everybody ; else in town has
sense enough to rest on a holiday,"
grunted Jack.
. Jill merely laughed.
It seemed hours and hours, be
fore Jack spoke again.
- He was hitting a rapid pace which
made Jill -redouble her efforts to
keep up with, him. At last she asked
timidly: ..
, "How! far have we gone? About
eight miles, isn't it?"- ' " '
."Eight? Ridiculous! We've been
walking' exactly fifty-one minutes,
and we've made about three miles
and a half. We never make a better
rate than four even when we go
faster than this."
Jack led the way, along a curving
country road, into a district with
which Jill was unfamiliar. The road
was rough and muddy. -
After what seemed several more
hours Jill began to feel weak around
the ankles, and hungry.
, "Jack, . dear," she said faintly.
"Let's sit down and rest. It must
be getting near noon. What time
is it now?"
j "It's just forty minutes later than
when we looked before," and he
showed her his watch.
;"I wish , there were a bench, in
stead of nothing but an old fence
lo sit on," said Jill plaintively.
"There's a little town up this road
libout a mile," said Jack mercilessly.
"Don't stop now. We'll get a bite
to eat there, and then keep on go
ing until we make it eight miles.
Then we'll turn and walk back."
Jill's feet were beginning silently
but effectually to protest.
But this was her "walking party"
and she was game. "
The distance to the town length
ened into what must .have been
nearly three miles. t
At last they found the hotel a
quaint old-fashioned house. The ham
and eggs seemed better than any
filet mignon either had ever eaten.
"Dearest, what time is it now?"
"Another fifteen minutes," said
Jack. Jill suddenly caught sight of
an ancient wall clock and gasped.
"Why, Jack,", she exclaimed.
"Your watch must be slow! It's
eleven o'clock. No wonder I'm
tired!" .,
She caught a sly twinkle in his
eyes, and became indignant.
"You mean thing!" she cried, and
rose to her feet. She sat down
promptly. . She knew that her an-

Jill breathed a sigh of relief, and
then laughed at her own plight.
"Well, it' my fault," she admitted.

And Jack agreed.

Are You Too . Easy in Business.
It is an easy, matter to go too far
in. your.desire to be considered good
natured. - - ' '
It is easy to be.se affable that you
are imposed upon.
For your own good it"" is better
to be considered a crank rather than
an easy-going "Oh", never mind I
don't-care," sort of a person who
gives up rights rather than fight for
them.
If you do not hold out for what
is due you,-who will?
WThy should you not be given a
square deal, even at a loss of friend
ship? The sort of friend who would
break with you because you insist
upon having what belongs to you, is
no good as a friend anyway, so bet
ter know it now.
You are' better off without such a
sham friend.
In business deals, forget friend
ship and do what is for the best
good all around.
Don't, take chances of being a loser
in-order not to offend a -friend, a
so-called friend, because you dislike
to. insist upon business being carried
on in a business-like manner.;
It is all right to be a friend to
others, but not at the expense of your
own family and yourself. ;.

In the old-fashioned way; by pre

" The Worm Turns.
Henrietta Hen had no loe ftir.
Turke Proudloot, t Hegiuninn with
the days of her i'hickenluHd he had
always ordered hrr about, telling '
her not to do this and not to di
that. Even after she was grown
up and had a (amity of her own,
Turkey I'roudfoot treated her as if
she had just begun to scratch for
herself.
If Henrietta Hen found a spot
where somebody had spilled a tew
kernels of corn, Turkey I'roudfoot
was more than likely to ruh up to
her and cry, "Go away I" I've had
my eye on that corn for some time.
I saw it first."
On such occasions there was noth
ing Henrietta Hen could do except
to stand aside and look .on while
Turkey Proudioot ate the corn. He
was so much bigger than she was
that he could bowl her over easily.
On her own account Henrietta
didn't really think it worth whilo
to try to make any trouble for Tur
key I'roudfoot. Hut when she led
her first brood of chicks into tlw
ard to teach them to find food foe
themselves, Turkey Proudfoot's
lordly ways made-her very angry. 1
"Move your family over on the
gravel drive! " Turkey Froudfoot. or
dered her. . ." " ' . . '
Henrietta Hen said flatly that she
wouldn't.
"There are no bugs no worms
in the gravel," she told him. '.-"My
JO. '- .'
"Where's tha .worm?" lie;- a8K4dU
chicks have a right to go. iaoy whore
on this farm." j-
. Turkey Proudfoot looked' at lierdu
amazement. Never before had Hen
rietta Hen spoken to him 'in sudi a
way. '. . s, . ..
' "Hoity-toity!" ' - lie ''exclaimed.
"Aren't you : forgetting- your .man
ners, Henrietta?" ., ', '
"No, I'm notl" she snapped. -?I':ve
stood too much from you all' my .life.
I warn you now that the' yornrhas
turned". ,." ';
TurkevProudfoot danced ouickiv
at the grpund.
"Where's the worm?" he asked.
"Point him out to me before he gets
away.'.' ,-.'.' ,
"There!" cried Henrieta Hen.
"That's just like you. If anybody
spies a 'worm, you think you fought
to have ft," . t..
"Come! - come!" Turkey Proud
foot coaxed her. "Don't' let's quar
rel' over'a mere triflesWh as' a
worm, Just you show 'rne Tvhere
you saw him turn, and I'll: show, you
how' to snatch up a worm in . the
neatest and . quickest fashion." t
Henrietta "Hen tossed, her .Jiand
some head. '' : .
"The worm I 'was talking about is
right before you;" she sniffedV,'"lf
you can't see it,.,. I shan't help :y0u."
. . Of course she . Had been talking
of herself when she remarked that
the worm had turned. She meant
that she had always allowed Turkey
Proudfoot to treat her like a ,worm
under his feet. But at last she had
nde up her mind that he shouldn't
oHer her about any longer. . .-" .
'fMeauwJiile 'Turkey Proudfoot was
fast losing his temper. , .
"You've caused me to lose -a' fine,
fat worm, and you shall suffer'for
it!" he scolded. "The only thingf,for
you to do is, to off? me a fificVffat
chick in its place.".. , ;
At that Henrietta set up a' great
clamor. r ;
.'"I'll do nothing of the sort!'' she
shrieked. And then she screamed
for the rooster.' "Come quick, Mr.
Rooster! Help! Help! ".
