The Price of Tomorrow
THERE'S NO WAY OF CHEATING NATURE

body, which is the only one you'll
ever. possess. You're building up
the mind, which Is to be an asset
or handicap in life's struggle for
success. And you can never call
back one misspent hour, nor yet
live over one tawdry moment
In doing a business job, IL your
calculations go wrong you can
start over and do the problem an
other way. There's a waste Of
time and energy and often a sense
of disbursement. but the thing
may work out, and then there's a
tremendous satisfaction in the
mere fact of having persisted.
But in the process OF living, 1t
Is harder to head back from the
wrong direction and start over.
Habits form while you aren't on
your guard. Drunkards and drug
fiends aren't born-they are made.
Congenital weaklings are sadly
frequent, since we don't show much
common sense about our race and
it's protection. But even a con-
genital weakling may amount to a
great deal IL he Is properly edu-
cated, carefully trained and formed
along lines OF useful habits.
This doesn't mean that one who
blunders must sit down and give
himself over to hopeless weeping.
IL means that he must stop blum
dering. in full recognition that he
has enough to pay off to nature al
ready and doesn't want any more
heavy debts to come along.
The sane soul can even profit by
his laundering II he looks squarely
at his false steps and where they
lead him, considers the wrong
turns he's taken and proceeds to
build with the wisdom of expert
ence gained instead of sinking into
the slough of weakness acquired.
The thing to do is not to fool
yourself. Recognizing clearly that
for every cause in life there Is a
result. the thing to do is to be
efficient enough to make tomor-
row today's debtor instead OF to-
Gays creditor.

He stepped quickly into the hall,
and listened. He could hear her
voice distinctly now, and IL sounded
cheerful. She was talking with
someone on the telephone that stood
at the head of her bed.
He ran quickly up the stair: but
by the time he had knocked on the
door she had finished telephoning
and hung up the receiver. In her
face there was no trace OF recent
tears. There was color in hey cheeks.

Rejuvenating Thought.
The alacrity with which she
obeyed pleased him. And he went
downstairs with good hopes for the
morrow. But 1t annoyed him to
think that another mans solicitude
should AFFORD her the pleasure which
his own had been unable to supply.
Her thought that on the morrow
she would be different, that she
would refuse him nothing. was the
happy thought upon which Manners
fell asleep that night And all the
next morning IL was never far from
his mind It was a rejuvenating
thought, and brought him with a
high spirit into whatever plans Tam
had conceived for her own amuse-
ment.
Diana's long hoped-for reform
was by way of being accomplished.

book when he joined her, was at no
pains to disguise the fact that she
was very sleepy. She yawned a

that she was sorry but that she
really couldn't help herself. He
tried to interest her in the idea of
Newport summer and suggested
that she take up the question of
renting a cottage; but for once in
her life Diana seemed to be rather
down on Newport. 1t was life
that led nowhere: 1t was frightfully
expensive; she had lost her enthusi-
asm for late hours and dancing.
Secretly, Manners was very much
pleased. He had always hoped that
she would one day tire of gaiety
and extravaganza. and of all other
false values. He said that he was
pleased, and even grateful.
