to inspect however, the high window
above the sink. Walking on the

with a clever acrobatic spring, betray-
ing the strong youth of him, he was
standing upon the sink, fumbling with
the catch, and peering through the
window.
A moment later, apparently salts
fed, he sprang lightly to the ground
again, thrust open the dining room
door, and I knew, though his back
was turned to me, that he was giving
the room a minute inspection.

A feeling of dumb terror clutched
me as I caught sight Of the incongru-

his wares for my inspection. There
was no reason that could be explained
for my fear. But at the sight of the

There is a device on the Zeppelin

and it is the duty Of every Zeppelin

the greatest dramatic climaXes in the

SIDE TALKS
Too Much Money.

There are comparatively few people
in the world who wouldn't regard 1t
as a great blessing to have plenty of
money come to them without working
for it.
And there are few, if any, who
could stand that.
What do I mean by stand it?
mean keep their strength of char
acter, their breadth of human SYM
pathy. their joy in the simple nor
NAL, wholesome pleasures Of life.
There is one verse in the Bible
which I read with greater understand
ing year after year. 1t is this.
verify I say unto you that a rich
man shall hardly enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven
Christ knew.
The Two Hardest Tests of Character.
The two greatest tests of char
acter in the world are too little money
and too much of it.
To liveg under the constant haras-
sing pressure of poverty and not to
get into debt not to spend unwisely
and not to be embittered, is one Of
the two hardest things in the world.
And the other is to have too much
money and not enought to do.
The hearts of people in that latter
condition are indeed the happy hunt
ing ground for him who finds some
mischief still-you know the rest.

How Many Marriages Too Much
Money Makes Unhappy.

money makes unhappy.
I wish a census were possible OF
unhappy marriages which would have
remained reasonably happy to the
end if the parties had not had too
much money and too little to occupy
their energies.
We all envy people who have
climbed the ladder of success and
reached the top. We waste our envy.
The only really happy people in the
world are the people who are climb
ing. The people who have reached
the top and those who can't even gain
are the ones who have the least
chance for true happiness.
Yes, L Suppose We'd All Risk 1t.
No one who has not seen few ex-
amples of how money can change
a mans character will believe this.
They will say cynically, 'Td just like
the chance"
I don't suppose ia refuse it, my
self. And yet can say with all hon
esty that I'm afraid of money. I want
enough money so that / shan't have
to think of money all the time Moth
ing drives everything else out of your
mind so much as having to con-
stantly count pennies. But I am al
most as much afraid OF too much
money, as / am Of too little.
I suppose there are some who will
laugh at that. But I think there are
many others who will understand
