denly he was gone. She was alone
in an empty office with a pile of
old papers: A sense of utter deso
lation came over her. The letter
crackled In her hand's. A lond
sound In the deserted, silent place.
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!"
CHAPTER L1L
SHE ripped open the last en
velope. It contained a little
wad of pencilled memos, all
covered with neat figures. Some
thing about the money at last
That would please Mr. Gfeely.
Just her luck that she left It for
the last. . . .
She copied two slips, neatly
and accurately before their full
significance dawned on her. Why,
these were records of money Al
lan bad drawn from the bank tor
him . . . fifty dollars, five hund
red, two thousand . . .
Her fingers flew through the
pile. Hundred!, thousands of dol
lars.
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

Loss of balance, dizziness, giddiness are a'l
symptoms of some underlying condition needing

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

In chronic stomach trouble there are fre

for the others to come over, too.
"It's Just the Un-soldier." he
said. They found the tin-soldier
lying on his back and shouting at

"You've killed what?" asked
Knarf. .
"Why, dldnt you see It the

"It's plain to see you don't know

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.
"They have to," said the tin
soldier. "There's a strict law
against not eating pies. Anyone
caught not eating pies Is obliged
to eat nothing but pastry until
he's. full." :
"You mean he has to eat noth

DOROTHY says she's off bud

"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

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

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. But this will ary. of
course, with the size of the in
come, the faintly, locality and per
sonal taste?.
