: "Was I-impertinent? Do I
assume too much?"
Slowly Clancy turned until she
faced him. The heart Of her
stood in her eyes. Yet, because
she was a woman, she must ask.
did you-is it because you want
to save me-or do you really"
He didn't answer. He crushed
her in his arms. She had not
known that he was so strong. And
within his arms she found the
answer to her question. She
owned the "Open, Sesame
youth. Her challenging gray eyes
might some day grow dim; the
satiny luster of her black hair
might give way to silver, but the
heart of her would ever be young,
and so the world would be hers.
For it is only the young in spirit
who win LIES battles; youth cam
not comprehend defeat, and 30
it knows only victory.
And she had come to New
York. which jibes at age, but
bends a supple knee to youth.
And because she was young,
would always be young, Clancy
Deane would be bound by no
rules. no mental timetables
would fetter her. For the old, on
learning that the train has gone,
surrender to despair. The young
take another train. Neither road
nor the destination matters to
youth, and so-it always arrives.
She had come to work, to win
q career. She would, instead, be
a wife. For the present, happily,
willingly, she surrendered ambis
ton. But it would come back
to her. Whether it would speak
to her in terms Of her husbands
career, or Of her own-that was
on the knees Of the gods.
For the moment, she was beaten
beaten by love. But the Clancy
Deanes are never beaten by cir
cumstances. II they bow to love,
1t is because from love they build
a greater triumph than from am
bition. Youth always is triumph
ant when 1t surrenders to youth.
She found the answer in his
arms. And nestled there, she
vowed that she would keep the
answer there. And because age
would never touch her, she could
fulfill her vow IL she chose.
Clairvoyantly, she looked ahead;
suddenly she knew that she would
always choose. Her lips went up
to his.

; stitious Egyptians living near the
tomb firmly believe that it was
the ghost of the dead king that
led Mr.. Carter to the spot.
Another strange story of this
romantic find concerns Mr.. Car
ter's canary. The day the tomb
was opened he found a gold
crown in the form of a serpent.
That night as Mr.. Carter was at
dinner a disturbance was heard.
Going outside he found a serpent
in the canary's cage. The bird
was already dead, and Mr.. Carter
soon killed the reptile.
The natives interpreted this
story in just the opposite way to
the first. They said 1t was a.
sign Of the kings anger at the
breaking open Of his tomb.

FORCING THE CHILD
A SURE WAY TO DO IT HARM

suppose the happy ART OF speak
ing in public is what you wish
to teach the baby boy or girl.
Ignorant and abusive treatment
Of children IL most common in
respect to this matter. In order
to crafty a foolish desire to have
their child win highest praise as
a reader" fond parents every
where are inf1icting serious in
jury to the nerves and to the
future well-being and poise Of
their little children.
Young children are naturally
not self-conscious. They are not
interested in the attentions Of
others. To make stage performers
out of the tender young human
plants, with the praise and ap-
plause thrown in, Is to render
them either blase or neurasthenic.
And these diseases Of the nerves
are both a hindrance to growth
Of the personality.
You may consider also the case
Of any other attempt to teach
too soon, as specified above. I'm.
less the impulse is awakened,
the corresponding nerve mechan-
ism is not sufficiently prepared
to do it's work. Also the neces-
sary blood supply and muscle CO.
ordination will be lacking and
inadequate.
Now, whenever you demand of
your child's body and brain the
performance of function for
which nature within has not
opened the way with a live i'm
pulse, you are simply draining
and depicting the nerve energy
from other parts Of the organism.
You are borrowing capital from
some department of the young,
green life where there is none to
be spared. Nervousness, NOR
bidity, eccentricity, or more Sc
rious forms Of injury are sure to
follow.
Finally, there is a correct time
for the beginning of every neces.
sary lesson to be taught your
child, and your youthful son and
daughter as well. 1t is the time
when the slumbering inheritance
awakens and manifests it's need
for exercise. Then you may OF
impulse, instinct, or desire safely
proceed.

up the flight of steps that led from

the chauffeur to drive him to an
all-night cabaret.
Trembling, chilled, the girl
climbed the stairs and softly OPEN

stood on the table and in a chair
beside it Harry sat staring toward
the falling snow.
With a movement so quick that
the man did not see it she dropped

ANECDOTES OF THE FAMOUS

A strange story Is told by Mr..
Howard Carter, who has won
fame by discovering the tomb of
King Tut-Ankh-Amen, who died
about $500 years ago. He SAYS
he owes his success to a curious
premonition.
FPr more than thirty years Mr..
Carter has been searching for
relics such as those he has now
found. He met with failure until
the idea came to him that he
would find what he wanted in a
certain spot, and he acted upon
this impression with remarkable
results.
He felt sure that the tomb for
which he was searching was un-
der one piece OF ground. Super

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
There is a young man who
has told me he loves me and
that there is no other girl in this
world for him. do not care for
him that way, but like him as a
good friend.
At Christmas he sent me a
. beautiful gift, and costly, too.
refused 1t at first, but he said
did not realize how I would hurt
him by not accepting it as a
good friend should. So I &C.
copied.
Did do wrong in accepting
it, knowing that will never be
anything to him? ANXIOUS.
We all know that "circum-
stances alter cases" This man
loves you and has accepted your
honest verdict that you have moth
ing for him save friendship. So
II he expressed his goodwill and
devotion at Christmas with a gift
which ordinarily you would not
wish to accept-the gracious Yule-
tide thing to do was to permit him
to have his generous pleasure in
giving. It would be ungracious to
take the attitude that you must
give" something in return for
this fine expression Of kindly feel
ing.

nEFORE attempting to teach
your baby any simple lesson,
- be sure that there il an
awakening impulse ready to sup.
port the instruction.
All true learning is response to
a call from within. This rule
applies strictly to babies, to chill
dren and to adults.
Not only must you wait for the
impulse. the instinct, the desire or
the interest OF the young learner.
but if you force instruction ahead
of these you will make your child
morbid, nervous. resentful or other
wise Ill balanced.
Suppose you wish to teach your
infant to grasp. II there is no i'm
pulse yet apparent to do this SIM
pie act. the effort Is i'll timed.
Suppose 1t Is standing alone or
walking which you have in mind
as an accomplishment for your
child. Unless he shows an impulse
to lead In the affair, you will prob
ably brighten him. cause him to be
bow-legged and make him nervous
from the shock.
Suppose it is a matter of your
child's learning to talk. Watch
carefully for nature to impel him
so to use his tongue. Otherwise
you will tease and weary the little
one with your encroachments upon
his sensitive personality.
Suppose the idea is to teach a
three-year-old boy to draw with a
pencil. There Is special danger
here that your desire to see that
child do something "showy" will
lead you into error. You are again
likely to whip nature into action
before she is ready.
