On Money Worries

has been no demand it could not meet so far. Isn't that a reason for hap piness rather than unhappiness?
 If ones present income is actua,- ly insufficient to feed and clothe one today, that is a justifable cause f& financial worry, isn't it?
 But how large a percentage of those who let their lives be clouded by financial anxiety do you suppose belong in this class?
 Onc-Tenth Has a Real Reason for
 Worry.
 Perhaps a tenth. Which means that the other nine suffer from self inflicted misery
 Some of these could live comfort- ably and happily within their means if they would simplify their ideas uf necessities, but they want so much that they are always haunted by unpaid bills. H
 Others are able to meet today's ob- legations, but are afraid of the need the morrow may bring.
 And so they are needlessly fretted and worried. -
 Live in Daylight Compartments.
 The parting advice of a well-known professor to all his students is to live in daylight compartments and not let tomorrow's anxieties trouble today.
 You may think that my quotation from Victor Hugo lacks pertinencs. 1 passed it on to you because when I was thinking of this subject it came to me. If we will trust ourselves and trust the great Power for gorl which most of us believe broods over the universe, we shall not feel anxious about how we are going to live. We shall know that if we do what we can, things will somehow adjust them- selves, and we shall both sleep and wake in peace.

THOUGHT AND PAID
 FOR' MONDAY NEXT

There are two sisters, Fanny and Virginia, who have been reduced to poverty by the death of their improV- ident father. Fanny takes up her dead mothers trade as a rilliner, while Virginia, naturally artistic and yearn- ing for culture is forced to marry James Gilley, a shipping clerk. Into Elrginia's life comes Robert Staffcrd a self-made man and millionaire In the opening act. he aSkeS Fanny James and Virginia to his sumptuously appointed apartment for a dinner par ty and at the end of it he has asked Virginia to marry hlm. I don't know that l love you, he tells her. but, if love means wanting to be tender to you, wanting you always near me and n desire to protcc: you, thcn love YOU. Nirgnia's acceptance furnishes the thought for the title. She is "Boueht and Paid Fora
 It's a toss up whether Bought and Paid For is comedy drama or a drama comedy. After all, it's six of one, and a half dozen of the other. There are just as many big, hearty laughs as there are tense mom- ontS, when you sit poised on the edge Of your seat, living over with the ac- tors every emotion portrayed. Alfred Cross and Julio Herne will play Staf- fod and Virginia Blaine respectively at the Lyceum next Monday night.

Co to sleep in peace. G cd is awake."-Victor Hugo.
 The thing l envy you most" l heard one woman say to another the other day, lis not your pretty beautiful rings. It's freedom from financial worry"
 l agreed with her in my heart that freedom from financial worry was ore of the greatest blessings one could have, and pitied her that she lacked it. And then a second thought ca-sne: why does she lack it?'
 The other woman whom she envicd is indeed uncommonly fortunate. Her husband is well established in an ex- cellent business. There is money enough to pay the bills of their com fOrtable establishment and a peace inspiring margin. She never has 70 be afraid of her husbands losing his position, and when her children are ill, doesn't have a dull, miserable ache of worry about the doctors bill as 8 background to her acuter anxiety.
 She Has to Watch the Pennies.
 On the other hand, the husband of the woman who spoke is in a more or less precarious position. He may win through to bigger things and he may lose out and have to find hir = self elsewhere. In the meantime, she has to watch the household eX- penses carefully, and there is only a small margin left over when what sine and her husband regard as necessities are paid for.
 You think she has reason to feel anxious? I consider that she has an explanation, but not an eXtenuatlon, for her state of mind. She and her husband both have health and brains. Suppose he does lose out in this par ticular case, there are always oppor- tunities for people with brains and perseverance, And as to that n:lr- row margin for extras, well, there

THIRTEENTH EPISODE

In the moment of Peg and young;
Lund's greatest peril, events of tre-'
mendous Importance happened with al,
most lightning speed. The rope on
which Lund had let himself down the;
face Of the cliff formed the only means,
whereby he had any hope Of rescuing
Peg. The girl lay at his feet, stunned
by her fall from the top of the preci-
pice.
BY grasping the branches Of small
shrubs that grew from crevices in the
cliff, Peg had managed to impede the!
directness of her fall. She clutched
with desperation at every twig or,
branch that her hands could reach. But
her life was actually saved by a mass
of rock that projected from the face,
of the cliff.
This formation provided landing
place for Peg as she slid, tumbled and!
rolled down the abrupt incline.
Here Lund found her, when he had;
let himself down hand over hand by
the. strong rope. But he had barely
landed on the projecting rock, When,
as he fnstinctively looked upward, he
saw the leering face of ChockrO, black
with hate and malice, as the Hindu
gloated in his momentary triumph.
But before the william had opportu-
nifty to. draw his knife across the
strands of rope which secured a
means of escape for young Lund and
Peg from their perilous position, q
shout from the fast approaching circus
people caused the villain to halt in his
purpose. In the second that elapsed
while Chockro and his man looked up
to observe the cause Of the commotion,
the lives of the circus girl and her
sweetheart were saved.
"Come on, quick!'' said Chockro to
his henchman. 1--WE must run for our.
lives or they will throw us over the
cliff"
The circus people lost no time In de-
livering Peg and young Lund from
their perilous plight.
Lund securely fastened the free end
OF the rope around Pegs body and
with strong pull by eager hands she
was soon landed safely. Then the rope
was again thrown over the edge Of the
cliff and Lund was, in like manner,
hauled to the top Of the precipice.
Chockro and his man, when far into
the woods and safe from pursuit,
slowed down and proceeded leisurely
on their way to Mrs. Lund's. Because

/, Early the next forenoon the Hindu
arrived at the carpenter shop with 8
wagon, to deliver the boxes to the show
grounds. One of his henchman was
given instructions as to where the
boxes were to be delivered. With an
other one of his pals, Chocllro crawled
into the larger of the two boxes and
Fin due time, was deposited on the
ground in the tent where material
used in the ring was stored between
performances.
The cunning Of the Hindu worked tc
his advantage very quickly, for the
boxes had not been unloaded many
minutes when Peg, young Lund and
Flip entered the property tent and
as luck would have, it., seated them
selves on the box, that contained
ChOckro and his man. 4 .,t3i ..n

swell, it's the biggest mystery / ever
heard Of replied the girl with an i'm
petuous toss Of her pretty head.
"This letter is the keynote to the
whole situation" said Flip, as he drew
from his pocket the precious document
La Belle lie Sieur had given to him to
keep and guard. "We must protect
this at all hazards"
Chockro and his man eagerly lis
tened to the conversation, from their
position Of vantage within the box,
They next heard Peg say: tsz
I'm tell you what Wen do. Let's
write a duplicate letter for you to keep
in your trunk, daddy, while / keep the
original letter on my person. Then
If these men rob your trunk they will
be fooled"
Peg laughed as she imagined the
trick in full operation. And the two
men mirthfully Joined with her, as
the party left their perch upon the
box. Their laughter, dying away
when they left the tent, was signal
to Chockro and his man that the fruit
full vigil was at an end. d
"Now we've got something real to
report to the boss" said the Hindu to
his pal. "Come on and fix UP for the
motor truck, and then we will 60 to
Mrs. Lund and tell her what we have
DONE"
The Hindu and his pal soon ap-
peared at Mrs. Lund's home. They
were admitted by the maid, and inn
medihtcly began an animated CONVEX
sation with their BOSS So interest
ed were they in the subject under dis
cussion that young Lund was unob-
served by them when he suddenly APP
peared at the parlor door.
Seeing the two men in conversation
with his mother, young Lund drew
back and called the maid to duly an
nounce his arrival. When Mrs. Lpnd
was told that her son was about to
