sition of my body or limbs in the

drowsiness after pretending to drink
the wine Nine. Hofer had sent me

waiter. He had hurried back to the

all my observant faculties upon the
Windmill standing bathed in the

Regrets Too Late
Inch by inch my eyes travelled over
it's outlines, familiar to me through
many adnliring glances in days gone
by. At first T could see nothing
strange in the upper standards of the
Windmills, but after a moment or two
I thought I saw something like wires
following the outlines Of the stand
ards. I closed my eyes to be sure
that 7 wasn't being led away by mag
NATIVE fancy, opened them again, and
again searched the outlines Of the
windmill.
Yes! I wasn't mistaken. There
were wires-a number of them-cun-
ningly painted the same color as the
standards, and following their lines
so closely that even my scrutiny of
the windmill when I was standing at
the locked gate had failed to reveal
them
There was but one possible ex-
PLANTATION of this. A secret wireless
plant! Ny pulses bounded as the
full significance of what 7 had dis
covered flashed upon me. Lillian
had spoken of the existence Of these
reasonable contrlvances, so potent
for aid to the enemy, so exceedingly
hard to locate. This was evidently
most cunningly devised one, no doubt
operated only in the early after
midnight hours.
The lower part of the windmill. of
course, concealed that part Of the
plant which it was possible to de-
tach. That was the reason for tn
luxuriant growth of vines and the gay
flower boxcs I had noted upon my
first appearance at the inn. It also

SIDE TALKS
The Most Inn portant Quality

1t is we'll known fact that certain
of the most progressive business con-
Germs keep record cards on which all
their salespeople are graded, some
What the way we used to be graded
on our report cards in school.
Only, instead of reading and SPELL
ing and algebra, the salespeop1e get
their marks on such subjects as &C
curacy, honesty, knowledge Of the
goods, etc.
How Much Each Factor Counts In
the Eyes of This Firm.
The other day one Of these charts
came into my hands. 1t was very
interesting. l think it might be a.
good idea if such charts could be
given out among High school and
college students, so that they might
realize how much each factor counts
towards success.
There are thirty-ive headings I'M
der which the marking is done, and
these thirty-fve are grouped under
four main heads: Physical Intellec-
tual, Personality and Craftsmanship.
One Quality More Than Twice AS
Valuable As the Rest.
The point which interested me
most in the whole chart. was this:
There were fourteen qualities listed
under Personality. and among them
was one quality which counted more
than twice as much as any Of the
others: it counted twice and a half
times as much as am bition, enthusi-
asn or honesty, and five times as
much as that most vaunted of all
business qualities-promptne And
what do you think that quality was?
person could acquire?
No,-som ething that anyone, no
matter how lacking in brilliance or
pep" could have if he willed it:
Just courtesy.
Just the habit of always saying
Good morning" and please" and
Thank you" Just smile and a
pleasant note in ones voice. Just a
mixture of good manners and kindli-
ness.
The Hotel Manager Feels the Same
The day after that chart came to
my attention L picked up magazine
and read an article by one of the
leading hotel managers in the coun-
try. Speaking of his walters, he said:
We try to impress upon waiter
that no matter how deft he is. we
will not keep him if he is perpetual
ly grouchy or sulky. We ALWAYS
point out to him that even if he is
slow and not very able at first. If he
is courteous and shows willing
spirit to serve to the best of his abil-
ity the average man will condone
his errors"
There you have it again.
Put courtesy in the balance against
ability, and 1T is not the more snowy
quality that tips the scale.
Courtesy is heart sunshine. It's
presence warns and cheers us and
puts us in better mood While the
absence of it affects us as disagree
ably as the continued absence of the
sun on succession of cloudy DAYS.
