She pur iter head on the littered desk and wept. She beard the telephone ring ing. It must have been ringing a long time. "Hello;" she said when she got there, but there was no one on the wire. "WiH you excuse it?" Central said. So Mr. Greely decided that his hunch was wrong, bis secretary wasn't working after all. He got, his hat and his stick and went for a walk. But his call aroused Daphne. She washed her face and hands in cold wfter, straggled hack to something like composure. No use crying. No use dreaming of what might have been. "I've got a job anyway." she thought. "That's more than I'd have if I'd listened to Ralph. After all, Allan took care of himself he skipped . . . oh. well!"

But if Ralph had this money. how could he say that Allan . . that Allan took it? Her pulses began to race. Her breath came in painful, panting gusts. Her face was crimson. Ralph must have known . . . all along ... he must hare betrayed Allan to save himself . . . She began to cry softly then, like a child who has stumbled up on some dread secret in the dark . . . "What will happen now? What will they do when they find out?" Her teeth were chattering so that she could hardly talk when, with her back to the wall, and her eyes still glued on the mute slips on the desk, she got Mr. Greely's house, and asked for him. Henry answered, in the high nasal tone he hsd adopted years ago to discourage hystercal wom en who demanded to speak to the Master. "So, he isn't in ... I couldn't say . . . probably not un til late." Daphne hung up the receiver, still crying weakly. She coudln't stay there . . . she couldn't wait for Mr. Greely to come back . . . She thought of Allan ... a fugi tive in the eyes of the law . . . Ralph even called him a jailbird when he knew, he knew that Allan was innocent! He boasted, even last night, of all he had done for Allan, when all the while he dancing, swimming :all have their enthusiasts. To enter any endurance race one must have good health. Perfect balance is necessary for successful flying, automobiling. bicycling, in fast cor any of the sports. Loss of balance, dizziness, giddiness are a'l symptoms of some underlying condition needing attention. All these are included in the general term 'vertigo." for which there are many cause. There is a form of vertigo associated with stomach trouble. In dyspepsia, dizziness is rather a common symptom. It is like the form of vertigo joining from ear trouble but is nevar accompanied by noises in the ear. In chronic stomach trouble there are fre quently constipation, coated tongue, belching of ' gas, general miserable feeling, down-heartedness. dull headache and palpitation of the heart.

They found the tin-soldier lying on his back and shouting at the top of bis voice: "I've killed It, Tve killed It!" "You've killed what?" asked Knarf. . "Why, dldnt you see It the dragon!" The shadow-children shook their beads. "If you'll help me to my feet." said the tin-soldier, "I'll show yon Just how I killed It." They did as he asked. "Wen." Le continued.

They hate them from the first bite they take and keep on hating them until they swallow the last crumb of crust." "Yet they eat them Just the same, don't they?" asked Hanld.

"Here I've been spend ing two years carefully .writing down in a neat little column what I've spent every cent for. I should hare a tidy little sum saved by now, shouldn't I? Because, that's what I was told when I firft be gan to keep house keep accounts and, budgets, and youll be able to 3ave. But wnat did 1 draw as a rewacd for all this bookkeeping? Look at it another notice from the bank that my account Is over drawn!" Dorothy blames budgets for her financial troubles,- because it's more convenient thtn exposing the real difficulty. She started keeping accounts because every thingbody seemed to be doing it. It was a fad rather troublesome, to be sure, but you were supposed to save money that way. Every body said, "Budget your income." "Keep household accounts" and Dorothy assumed that keeping ac counts was like having money in the bank. The catch In her case Is that her husband didn't feel the same way about it. "I know exactly what our income Is each month, and we spend only what we have to what's the use of making a 6olemn record of It every time we spend a nickel?" He laughted it off. But Dorothy was just as pos itive. And while her husband blithely- spent as he went, she conscientiously looked at her bud get allowance before she went shopping and wrote down the sums spent afterward. Of course, this sort of work was perfectly futile; inasmuch as there was only one income and two peopfc were speuding it in different ways. If two people are living on one income, a budget is very helpful, if both keep well within it and yet live as comfort ably as their means permit. In fact, a candid arrangement of this sort, whereby both husband and wife know exactly what is the lim WAL,f?AW. 3A 6ET A Goor LOOK AT UiM? CMAMCE TO MOTlCET MV MUSTACHE F THAT it of expenditure for each, fettles the money, question peaceably and the money question is one which la likely at any time to bring discord into the most amic able household?. What is a budget anyway? In recent years it has suffered the fate of most suddenly popularized words misunderstandings and misapplication. Pec pie use the words "Budget" and "Vitamins" and "Relativity" because they're popular discoveries, and they mean something very important, though few know exactly what. The word budget is merely the name for an estimate of what you will earn and can spend for the ensuing year. Lou make your own prophecy of income and expenses and you call tntt a budget. Gov ernments hare to make budgets so that each departmtut knows in advance what it is allowed to spend. By law it is compelled to remain within the budget and do without the things that cost too much. Only a gentleman's agreement can keep a married couple within the budget there's na !a pro tecting a husband from his wife's excessive spending, and. of course, it's the same the other way around. Nevertheless, if Dorothy and Jack came to a definite agree ment at the beginning of the year, or at the beginning of each month, to set aside a certain sum for joint and individual expense, there is a reasonable chance that each would stick to the agree meat, and that they would be ahead of the game at the end of each year Instead of always a lit tle In debt. For the average Income the al lowance is, for rent and operating expenses, 30- per cent of the in come, food 25 per cent; clothing 25 per cent, leaving 20 per cent for amusement, incidentals and savings.
