from the dreary present That dream Lad
seen Elizabeth enshrined among the old ia
miiar things; the old house was to be a sanct-
uary for her and for him. From it and from
her in the dream he was to go out in the
morning; to it and to her he was to come
home at night, after he had done a mans
work
The dream faded Before him rose her
face of the morning, impressive and cool; her
eyes, not hostile but Indifferent She had
taken herself out of his life. had turned her
youth to youth, and forgotten him. He un-

young she was!
Lucy was buried that afternoon. 1t was
raining, and the quiet procession followed
Dick and the others who carried her light
body under groteSquely bobbing umbrellas.
Then he and David, and Minnie and Mike,
went back to the house, quiet with that
strange emptiness that follows death, the
unconscious listening for voice that will
not speak again for familiar football. David
had not gone upstairs He sat in Lucy's sit
ting room, in his old frock coat and black
tie, with knitted afghan across his knees.
His throat looked withered, in his loose collar.
For the first time then they discussed the
future.
You're giving up great deal Dick" he
said. I'm proud OF you, and, like you,
think the moneys best where it is. But this

RESOURCES OF STRENGTH
BY DR.. Frank Crane

Captain J. A. Hadfeld, of the Neurological
War Hospital at oxford, has written very
interesting book called THE Psychology Of
Power"
The gist of the book is that the real re-
sources OF power, the real supply that we
have to draw from in crises, consist in the
things of the spirit and not the things of the
flesh.
We generally suppose that the reservoir Of
energy which we tap consists of the food we
eat and the air we breathe. This is the
theory of the physicist.
The real scientist, however, consults psy-
chology quite as much as physiology, and
the best opinion Is that the greatest supply
of resources of power normally untapped 10
psychic rather than physical in character.
Fatigue results far more from what takes
place in the thought than from what takes
place in the body
Captain Hadfield Is advocating no thought
cult, but approaches the question in the
purest spirit of science He bases his COM
clusion upon experiments he has actually
made.
1t is we'll known that fear often lends
man extraordinary strength. Excitement,
anger any other strong emotion enor-
mously increases ones physical powers.
1t is a matter of common knowledge that
an overmastering emotion not only expresses
itself in mental vigor, but in physical mani
festations such as hot rush of blood to the
veins, strong breathing, quivering nerves,
tense muscles and the like. 1t Is also known
that under certain conditions an extraordi-
nary expenditure of energy can take place
without equivalent fatigue. Indeed, fatigue
consequent on great exertion Gems to bear
no necessary relation to the amoLnt of en-
ergy expended.
1t is the mind that becomes tagged.
1t is the soul that gives out.
Captain Hadfeld's volume ought to be Of
much inspiration to teachers and preachers
everywhere. He says: II have tried to
show that the experience of applied psychol-
ogy, especially psycho-therapy, points to the
conclusion that we are living far below the
limits of our possible selves, and that there
are open to us resources Of power available
through the right use of our instincts, whic.
If directed to noble purposes, will free our
minds from those worries, anxieties and
morbid fatigues which spoil our lives, and
will free us for life of energy and strength

THE BREAKING POINT

door, there to surmise and to wonder.

now or not? Did Dick for a moment think
that he could do as he had done, go away sand

though nothing had happened? Because, if
he did
To Dick, Elizabeth's greeting had been a
great shock He had not known just what he
had expected; he had not hoped to be taken
back. But there was hard friendiness in
1t that was like a slap in the face He had
meant at least to win back with her, but he
saw now that there would not even be fight
She was not angry or hurt. The barrier was
more hopeless than that. She did not care
any more

had gone and went directly to the subject.

Before the hour for the services he went in
again and sat by Lucys bed, but she who had
given him wise counsel so many times before
lay in her majestic peace, surrounded by flow

something. Something of her own peace.
Once more, on the night she had stood at

had been ailing. Or anyhow, she thought she
was ailing. She tried specialist after
another, patronized succession of SANTA
RUINS, took the cure here, there and else
where. Yet nothing seemed to help her She
remained chronic compliance
The husbands patience sorely was tested.
Also there constant drain upon his
check book. M. Grammar didn't 30 much
mind the latter. Always he had been a gen.
erous provider for his family What secretly
irked him was a conviction that the lady's
trouble was more or less imaginary; an un-
spoken but none the less sincere belief that
his money was being spent to crafty neu-
rotic within. Had Mr.. Grammar known the
words "malingerer" and "hypochondriac"
these undoubtedly were the words he would
have applied in his own private diagnosis
of the case.
Nevertheless, the invalid, after long
months of treatment, succumbed to her mys-
ferrous malady. She became no more.
On the night before the funeral the mourn
ing widower sat alone by the bier For long
hours he communed with himself. Finally
he reached forth caressing hand and softly
patted the casket.
WELL" he said, maybe Mommer vas
sick!"
