The hero'S troubles

CTO BE CONTINUEDD
MAN REALLY KNOWS LITTLE
Amazingly Ignorant, Asserts
Writer in Boston Paper.

The wiSest man in the world knows
only tiny fraction of what there is to
be learned, and the mass of human
knowledge, painfully acquired and
handed on since our far-off ancestors
came down out of the trees, Is only a
faint glimmer in the midst of the dark
unknown.
Much of the unknown is unknOw-
able; little of ii, the human mind
laboriOusly takes possession of as cen
turies pass.
Most of us are amazingly ignorant.
We are like the classic example of
the school children, coming their
books, who couldn't tell what kind of
wood their desks were made Of
Actually, we are afraid of seeming
to know too much outside of the trod-
den ways; we despise the "high-
brow"
And at the same time how contemp-
tuOus we are likely to be of some one
who seems to be more ignorant than
ourselves.
The man who has stopped learning
is living at a standstill. Make every
one you meet your teacher, If you
would get the most out of life. That
boy scout, that venerable farmer, that
sharp young salesman-each has bit
of special knowledge for you.
Be a student, even though your
schooldays are in the remote past,
and not a mere book student.-Boston
Herald.

CHAPTER n.

Sunday morning came at last.
1t was hardly eight when 1 set out
for my new quarters, taking with me
only one small handbag and leaving
my two trunks for the expressman.
In the time intervening since my visit
to the CASTOR home 1 had done but
little except speculate on the mysteri-
Gus warnings that both of the old peo-
pie had surreptitiOusly given me. 1t
seemed so utterly improbable and i'm
possible that there could be any. in
explicable mystery about a home in a
modern. up-tO-date apartment house
in the center of a civilized city. And
If there was a mystery, why did they
stay there? Why didn't they move?
Yet, as l pondered over the matter,
l was convinced that both my great
uncle and his wife were rational. I
dismissed without hesitation the the
ory that there could have been any
supernatural happenings TO alright
them. 1t was probable, decided. that
their fears might have been played on
by some conspiracy on the part or
their servants To induce them TO spend
a season in Maine. Perhaps there
was some specter from my great
uncle's past now rising TO confront
him that he was seeking to hide from
his wife. 1t might be that she knew
of il or had received threats and was
trying TO conceal the matter from him.
There are few men of millions with
out some secret shameful pages in
their lives. AS l remembered that
old Rufus GastOn's dollars had been
made in South America, all that had
heard and read of plots and counter
plots below the equator came buzzing

"Ies. yes, Of course" echoed Mrs
CASTOR.
| waited for one or the other of
them to proceed but for some reason
they both seemed ar a loss for words.
You tell him, Rufus" said my
great-aunt at last
His tired old eyes studied my coun-
tenance carefully, searchngly, as if
he was trying 70 read my soul.
What is it?" l asked impatientIy.
ut is this" said old Rufus, speak
Ing slowly and with effort. as if he
hated to disclose his intentions.
Three days from nOw-that will be
Sunday mOrning-my wife and | are
going TO Maine To be gone for some
months. We have leased furnished
cottage there and shall take our Serv-
ants and our motor with us. We do
not like to leave this apartment wholly

CASTOR that you might occupy ii i'm
our absence"
| am afraid my cOuntenance at that
moment must have betrayed my con-
sternatiOn. My great expectations
vanished, blew up, disappeared They
did not want me for an heir but for Il
caretaker. What Il fool / had been to
imagine for one moment that this pc
nuriOus old couple had contemplated
doing anything for me. They wanted
me to do something for them. A sar-
castle refusal of their proffer trem-
bled on my lips but was stayed by my
great-ahnt speaking:
1T will enable you to save your
room rent. Mr.. Castor will pay the
rent IN advance before we go. There
will be no one here to serve your
meals so you will have to get them
elsewhere, but l will arrange with my
laundress TO come in once day to
make up your room, and you'll be un-
der no expense"
Her suggestion that l would have
no room rent to pay decided me. Two
other considerations also influenced
me. 1t might be plan on the part
of the old people to try me out and
see if l was trustworthy, and then.
dwelling under the same roof with
Barbara Bradford, l might have OPP
portunities of seeing her again. and
who knows, perhaps of assisting her
