GO ON WITH THE STORY

Kate Ward wanted to turn to look at the person whom she felt was sit ting beside her. She couldn't. She seemed suddenly to have lost control of her muscles. She was held tense her eyes staring straight ahead.
 Cars rattled by on the tracks in the street. Automobile horns sounded their warnings. People passing were chattering, laughing. The atmosphere was alive with summer-evening sounds.
 The woman on the bench was un- conscious of them.
 You will meet him some day-you will not have long to wait. His name will be James--you'll learn to call him Jim-you might ask him about the trunk--you will not have long to wait-not long"
 Kate was startled by the sound of . voice very close to her.
 She opened her eyes. She locked about. The bench on which she sat was unoccupied except for herself.
 She passed her hand along its back. It was damp. A heavy dew had fallen. Her garments felt damp as she touched them.
 She stood. Looked at the clock in a distant tower. It was ten twenty five.
 She had spent more than an hour on the bench. It passed like sec ond! Had she slept, she wondered? She didn't know. She was conscious

CZECHOSLOVAKIA IS
 REDUCING DEFICITS
Reports for the Year Show That Economy Has Been Employed in Administration of Government.

Prague, Czechoslovakia, Jan. 1.-- The budget of the republic of Czecho- slovakia for 1923 shows a deficit of about 5So.000,0oo Czech crowns, which is 370.000.000 crowns less than the deficit for 1922, and 170.oo0, 900 crowns less than that for 1921.
 There are two interesting features in the document One is the setting forth of the salaries of public off cials separate from all other items, so the total can readily be seen, and the other is that next year the budget is to be submitted to parliament in the form of a commercial balance sheet This latter feature will make it pos sible for parliament to determine whether the socialization Of industries is more productive and profitable than the use of private capital.
 Public expenditure in Czechoslo- vakia reached its maximum last year. The cost of running the government has increased steadily since the founding of the republic four years ago. But 1923 promises consider able reduction which ultimately may be greater than is hoped for now. The 1923. figures show expenses of 19,S70, 100000 Czech crowns, and revenue of 1s,s10,o 100000.

4 VERY USEFUL GIFT

A tthf tshftL GIFT, II was only a few days before Christmas when old MF, Crow begged Jimmy Rabbit to give him. for . present, whatever il sas that vas in Jimmy's old travelling bag, Mir, Grow ! vas very curious te kHes what the hag held, But Jimmy Rabbit wouldn't tell him, Jimmy had even made Mir. Crow promise not te look at the present until Christmas Day arrived Anybody that knew MT. Crew could have told you how hard t would be for the old gentleman 10 keep his promise, When he reached home with the travelling bag. which he had agreed 10 return 10 Jimmy on Christ mas Day. MT, Crow sat still for some time and stared at the bag. How he did want to know what was in it.
 Jimmy Rabbit said that nobody could wear it. nor eat il. nor play With it." said 10 himself. And then all al once he cried loudly. .'I know, It's something 10 drink. Ha, IL takes Mir, Crow 10 guess a riddle. He's 6 wise old bird" Mir. Crow picked up the trayeling bag. 'I'll shake it and listen to the sound the present makes" he muttered.
 So he shook the rayeling bag. But not sound seemed to come from in. side 1t.
 T wonder" thought Afr. Crow. If little peep would count for q whole iook7" He was just about 10 persuade himself that 1t wouldn't. when he had another--and better---idea. I'll feel Of the present." he exclaimed with q chuckie. That certainly won't be looking at it. And no one can say that didn't keep my promise"
 He then opened the travelling bag. Next he set foot inside fl. He was and puzzled frown came over his face. His foot seemed to touch noth- Ing but the inner part of the bag.
 This is queer" he crooked hoarse- ly. And he put his other foot in too. | He wriggled his toes into the corners Of the bag. hoping to discover some small object. But he found noth- ing.
 MT. Crow promptly flew into a rage.
 This Is cheat" he squawked. l And jumping out of the bag. he peeped into it. He saw nothing Jimmy Rabbit played a trick on me-" he began to scold. And then he remembered that Jimmy hadn't told him there was anything in the bag. He had said there was nothing in it that was good to eat, good to wear. or good to play with. It was old Mir. Crow that had fooled himself. by beg ging for whatever was in the bag.
 We'll" he thought after his rage had somewhat cooled, T may as well take this travelling bag back to Jim. my Rabbit now. instead of waiting until Christmas Day.
 So he flew off into the woods, where he found Jimmy Rabbit and set the bag down at that young persons feet.
 What does this mean?" Jimmy ex- claimed. Aren't you going to keep the present? Don't you want it?"
 I've decided it wouldn't suit me-" Mir. Crow told him. You said this present wasn't good to eat, nor war. nor play with. If I accept a gift it must be useful one"
 But I never said this wasn't use- 'ul." Jimmy Rabbit declared.
 MT. Crow stared at him.
 Whats it good for?" he asked :. oluntly. "Tell me that"
 "To breathe!" said Jimmy Rabbit
 MT. Crow had to admit to himself hat what Jimmy Rabbit said was , rue. There was air inside the tray ling bag. if there was nothing else. Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan

THE HERMIT CRAB
The Mystery Why He Always Lives With Messmates of other species Has at Last Been Cleared UP.

London, Jan. 1.-The myster of the hermit crab, and the reason why he always lives with "messmates' or other species, has at last been cleared up.
 pr. J. H. Orton, of Plymouth Ma rine Biological Laboratory, whose pet oyster became famous by revealing to science the power of the mollusc to change it's sex, has studied the rela- tionships of the common hermit crab to the anemekbe and certain aquatic worms wtsth lives communally with it.
 The conclusions reached by Dr. Orton are that both animals are bene- flted by their habits. The anemone derives advantages from the hermit crab by being dragged about with its tentacles on the ground. and being given opportunities for picking up food left or lost by the crab. The crab obtains protection from frsh owing to the unpleasantness of the anemones as food.
