You better not let on I told you, but, of course, you'd find It out here in the office. If you ask me, Winters'll go to jail." "Winters? You don't mean Al lan Winters . .that Allan Win ters stole . . .took . ." "He sure did. Mr. Sanderson says It amonuta to about forty thousand' all told. May ber they'll giro him the chance to pay It back" "Forty thousand? Oh, nobody could possibly " "No, I guess not. I'd send him to Jail if it was me, but Mr. Me Keyitt is an awful good-natured slob. They had to about give him the third degree before he'd ad mit Mr. Winters tool it. He iooks awful. Say, aren't you going to read your note?" She tore it open. It might be from Ralph . . "Dear Daphne," she rad. "Your father wants me to tell you he does not want to see or hear from you, and will you do him the favor of never setting foot in the house. I feel sorry to have to tell you this, but with his health what It is, I would not risk him getting another temper over it, so please take my earnest advice and stay away. If he changes his mind I will be pleased to let you know. I myself wish you only the best. If at any time you could afford to send a little something home it would be appreciated, because I am not equal to all the work now, and you know how he is, he don't want me to get help. "Many the time I sat up sewing clothes for you, and since you are doing so well in your position, like you said in your letter, I would; be glad for anything. Crystal is not able to help yet, poor girl. "After she and Ralph MeKevitt get married I won't have to ask you. He had Just proposed to her the day I was in town, so it won't be long now. Be careful who your friends are. I want to advise you like I would my own girl. Don't trust the men, you can't do it, dearie, the best of them is un trustworthy. I only hope he makes ber a good husband. "Your lePlng friend and step mother. "Adelina Garroty Haines." . I hope I didn't inconvenience you by forgetting the letter," the office boy said anxiously. He was a very conscientious young man, and it hurt him to think he had failed in a duty. Besides he was upset by Miss Haines' alarming pallor. He wa3 afraid that she was going to be ill. "Oh; no!" she answered, fixing him with her great dark eyes, un naturally large and brilliant in her small white face. "Not at all. I like getting it all at once. All the bad news, you know." And to his horror and amaze ment she put. her head on the steel filing cabinet beside her, and burst into wild, uncontrollable laughter. "It's so funny so p-per-fectly crazily funny! First one, and then the other . . thieves and liars, and my own father . . and mj s-stepmother Helling me never to t-trust any of them!" He couldn't understand more than half she said, she was laughing so or was she crying?

"Mr. McMurtrie! Miss Haines she" Mr. McMurtrie, from the ladder regarded the panting boy with magnificent disapproval. "The condition of these top shelves is shameful," he said. "Do you ever dust them? Look a t my hands! Covered with filth. If you can't be trusted to look after these things, Barney, we'll have to get someone who can. It's shocking Simply shocking." There was more of it, along the samo lines. Barney writhed un happily until the lecture was end ed and Mr. McMurtrie, flushed and dirty, descended the ladder with the book in his hand. Then his careful mind turned back to the boy's entrance and he said, I still fussing with his pocket hand kerchief, "Now what was that you came to tell rne?" Feeling inexplicably foolish Barney started at him a moment and then burst out with "It was Miss Haines out in the main of fice. I'm afraid she's sick, and she won't stofp laughing " 'Laughiiig'? Sick?" "I don't know, but she's " "What made her laugh, and why call me because " "Because I think she's out of her head or something. I told hes about a letter a woman left for her and she read it and started laughing that way " "Hysterical, you mean?" Yes, sir, I think so " "You should have called some one at once!" Mr. McMurtrie said sternly. "It might be serious!" But when he reached the main office, prepared to administer first aid to a pretty girl who had undoubtedly received tragic news of some kind, he found her delib erately powdering her nose at the small cabinet mirror inside a clos et door. He halted, uncertain how to proceed. She had been crying, he could see that, so he advanced and said kindly, "No bad news, I hope. Miss Haines?" He had to repeat it before she understood and then she Just nodded and said in a harsh, scratchy voice that chilled all his sympathy. "Yes, but I'll get used to it, and didn't even look ati him. It made Mr. McMurtrie feel very silly. He never liked the girl after that. But Daphne hardly noticed who had spoken to her. She stood staring at the crumpled note in her hands. Then she straightened it all out again, and re-read it. "When Crystal and Ralph are married . ." The man you love secretly en gaged to another girl, making a fool of you all the time . .and the man you trusted robbing him . .and your own father refus ing to ever see you again . . .

But they are not In them- sure. Let me explain: Fresh air without proper breathing is of little value. So it is with ex ercise. It must be the right kind of exercise, taken under appropriate conditions. Otherwise it will fail to accomplish its purpose. Today I want to talk about breathing what it does for the body. No matter bow much you eat, you cannot be well nourished unless yon breathe correctly. Do yoa believe that the breathing capacity bears any important relationship to goodness of character? This surely is surprising, if true. My friend, Dr. Frederick U Hoffman, statis tician of the Prudential Life Insurance Com pany, studied 4,000 chest measurements to show' the connection between breathing and delin quency in women.

A longer line than usual, she noticed, and hardly any tables left. That was because she was later than usual, and she wanted to burst out laughing again, remembering why she was late, and what a silly thing it was to be pretending to eat, when you'd rather be dead, and the very thought of food made you sick. But she ate her dinner, or some of it, at least, and if she was ill, and" her eyes were red on the street car coming home, nobody seemed to notice.

(AP) President Hoover today sought relaxation from his duties in a visit to his fishing preserve in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge mountains where he planned to spend the night in a tent near the upper waters of the Rapidan riv- her. The president departed from the White House before noon to day and arrived at the preserve early in the afternoon. He was accompanied by Secretary Wilbur, Edward Lowrie, a political writer, and took with him his secretary, Lawrence Rlchey and his personal physician. Lieutenant Commander Joel T. Boone. After arriving at the preserve the party inspected the arrange ments for the night and spent the afternoon strolling about the land and resting. The president did no fishing. The party drove through War renton and Culpepper, Va., to Madison and the small village Criglersville, the nearest point to the preserve that could be reached by the large White House automo biles. From Criglersville light er cars were used for part of the remaining distance after which they rode horses for 1V4 miles to the tents erected for their use. What time the party would re turn tomorrow had not been de termined when the White House SEEKS UTS 60SHI I HOPE SO! SOOM EAT ELM. 1H4T LATNBArJTS, . wjeve picked UkJCLE him "rp7 i SAM'L!

"But It is open!' said Hanid, sliding down through one of the f -shaped openings. The others fol lowed directly. . "You can't stay here," said Knarf. "This club is for members only." "In that case," retorted Hanid, "we'll all become members." The others nodded in assent. "We'll become members at once," they agreed. "You can't become members at once," said Knarf.

"The name of the club," said Knarf "is the Not Elephant Club. To Join you must stand In a cor ner till I count a hundred and not think of an elephant." "That's, easy," said Hanid, MiJ, Flor and Yam. "You must promise," said Knarf, "to tell if you do think of an elephant." "We promise," they said. Here upon Knarf put them In a corner. "Don't forget," he reminded them, "that you must not think of an elephant." "Of coure. we won't" Yam said. We won't think of an elephant at all." I They Slid Through the Opening Knarf smiled shyly. Then he be gan to count to himself. Hardly had he reached three when Yam came out of her corner.' At four MiJ and Flor joined her, and at five Hanid came out, too. All of them wore expressions of sorest disappointment. "I couldn't think of anything but an elephant," confessed Ha nid. "Neither could we," said the others. Knarf laughed in triumph.

V04L DONJTl TVar 1 KEEP ME ikI The Home Kitchen By ALICE LYNN BARRY THE Very Young Thing looked at the , market man suspi ciously as she paid her bill. "And are you sure this is gen uine fillet?" she asked. "Absolutely madam," he smiled as he wrapped up the fisii. Per haps he understood what she real ly meant, perhaps he didn't. Lit erally he was truthful. What he sold her was "genuine fillet" sure enough. Fillet is merely a word meaning fish or meat in slices, minus bone or fat. And he had sold her a flounder care fully separated- ftfoiu skin and bone in two bright, firm slices. But what the Very Young Thing probably meant by her inquiry was, "Is this genuine fillet or sole?' For sole is the preferred and more expensive rish. It is more delicate in texture than flounder, but apart from its reputation, many peopledon't regard it as worth the rather large difference in price. Furthermore, fresh flounder filet, prepared in as ele-. gant a style as sole, occasionally deceives even an epicure. Yet you ee the words "genuine fillet of sole'' on bill of fare, sold at specially high prices, and one can never be quite sure. The fish most ofen served in fillets are flounder, bass and had dock. And fillet is a very good way to serve fish. It does cost twice as much per pound bought that way, but remember that ev erything you buy is edible. There's no waste of bone, skin, head or innards. Many people who have a prejudice against fish because of a secreat fear of choking over a bone begin to enjoy it im mensely when it comes served in "I didn't have to," he replied. "I joined the club before that rule was made up. "But," he added, "I could have." And with that the president, the treasurer and the secret'ree of the Not Elephant Club sprang out of his clu broom and walked off.

However, as this Job takes sev eral minutes, one can't always get the service at the busy time of day. You can fillet a fish your self by slitting it in half, fasten ing the head down firmly with a skewer, and with a very sharp knife separate the flesh from the skin, being careful to keep it whole.
