CHAPTER NH


~HE next time he saw Christine, Anthony
found himself talking to her of Miri-
L am He did this guardedly, of course,
for the last thing in the world he wanted
was to put ideas into Christine's head.
81 saw your friend Miss Folwell, dining
at Abercrombie's the other night with a
queer-looking person." were his words.
Does she like to be seen in public with
such strange characters?"
1T was probably buyer" Christine re-
turned. Miriam is nice to them whether
she likes them or not. It's for the good of
the firm
Il should think nice girl would fight
shy of accepting invitations from men Of
that caliber," Anthony said stifAy
But Christine chose to ignore his atti-
tude
Don't be such a prude, old dear" she
said hippantly. "Miriams all right, you can
take my word for it, I guess she piQued
you little because she didn't fall for you
the way most women do"
1t Infatuated Anthony to hear put into
words what he himself had felt. Miriam s
GOODNESS had been surprising, her calm man
ner of looking over his head had annoyed
him that night, and it irritated him now
to remember it.
"Who were her peopIe?" he asked, ignor-
ing Chrstine's remark
who were her peopIe?" Christine MINI
licked. well, upon my word, Anthony Breen,
you are funny l should think YOU could
see that Miriam was we'll bred, just by look
ing at her. Take a peep at her ankles some
day, old dear, they'll convince you better
than I could"
You vulgar child" Anthony returned,
smiling in spite of himself You're incorri-
gible, Christine, you're certainly a product
of this terrible age were living in.
Yes, and proud to be-" Christine return
ed. 1T wouldn't hurt you to timber up
some. Anthony, you're getting stOdgy. You'll
be so set in your ways if YOU aren't careful
that nobody interesting Will have anything
to do with You. Bachelors do get that way,
you know; its living alone that does for
them
In the days that followed Anthony found
himself remembering these words of Chris
tines. 1t wasn't that he thought of them
seriously at all, but he wondered sometimes
if his life alone had made him self-centered
and selfish. Certainly he was more particu-
lar than the average man. Where women
We're concerned he was unusually fastidiOus.
He did not believe that women had a sense
of honor, and this was not because he had
reached the age OF thirty-eight without
thinking of any woman seriously, for even
. in his younger days he had had the same
idea.
Once at one of the fashionable clubs TO
which he belonged, he had put his feeling
about women into words

Q. Why is the afternoon longer than the
morning as the days lengthen in the early
spring? F. B.
A. Forenoon and afternoon are always
equal, or very nearly so, by the sun; they are,
at times, far from being So by the clock The
reason for this is that clocks give not the
actual solar time, but the mean Or average
time. Noon by the sun is when the sun is
due south; that is to say, noon by the sun is
midway or very nearly midway between sun
rise and sunset. Noon by the clock may
occur as much as one-quarter hour earlier
or later than noon by the sun, the difference
being known as the equation Of time 1t so
happens that when the days begin to leng then
in December, that noon by the clock is grow
ing relatively earlier at rapid rate; in
other words, Is moving toward the time Of
sunrise and away from the time OF sunset;
the tendency bein~ to shorten the forenoon
and to lengthen the afternoons.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE in 1920

TN glancing over Current Events magazine
| | was made aware that the electoral
~ votes credited to Mr.. Cox came from the
afOretime secession states. In the electoral
college Harding received 404 votes against
127 for Cox Every state, except Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, North and South Caro-
lima, Texas and Virginia returned Republican
electors. Tennessee gave Harding a plurali-
ty of 1900 over Cox.
Not a single Democrat was sent to the
house of representatives from Indiana, Iowa
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Washington
West Virginia or Wisconsin. Even Missouri
sent two Democrats and fourteen Repub-
LEANS
These figures may have been shown in
1920, after the election in November, but
overlooked them until this magazine article
interested me. The 127 electoral votes came
from the solid south, and each of these
clauses, etc, that make primary elections
the deciding vote.
However, Debs in the Atlanta prison, was
given nearly million votes. Three other
candidates. Socialist, farmer-labor and pro
hibition, were given less than 100000 alto
gether
In May, 1921, certain members of the
senate organized a bloc, and because 1 over
looked it's scope, I take it for granted many
of the Country Home Readers will be inter
ested in the names Of the southern men who
became members of the bloc in 1921. Six
Republicans, all senators from the west
Kenyon, Norris, Gooding, Capper La Toilette
and Ladd; Democrats, Kendrick, of Wyo-
ming, and Ellison Smith, Of South Carolina
Morris Sheppard, of Texas, Randall, Of Lou
siana, and He1in, of Alabama eleven in
number
1t is well to get these names set down in
your mind, because it is the first time since
the Civil war that Dixie Democrats have been
known to organize a political party with
the very extreme radical Republicans of the
northwest, unless the candidacy of Mr..
Bryan and the Populist movement be so con-
sidered

Georgia politicians who went with the Popu-
lists when Hon. w. j. Northen was elected

MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin s. Cobb


Joe Lincoln, the novelist, who writes
about New England coast types so graphical
~ and with such humor, was a guest at a
dinner which | also attended not so very
long ago In the course of the speech-mak-
ing the postmaster called upon his distin-
2ulshed friend on the right-meaning by
that, Joe-to favor the assemblage with a
few remarks.
Mr., Lincoln obliged. Nearing the con-
clusion of his talk, he reminded of a
story Of his beloved Cape Cod and speaking
in delicious Down East drawl, to match
the locale, he told it. 1t ran about as fol-
lows:
In a little fishing town where l often go
in the summer, there used to be curious
old character. He was a bOat-builder by
trade made dories and skiffs and smacks,
as no other man in those parts could Also
he occasionally was called upon to fashion
a coffin.
Another resident Of the village fell grey-
ously i'll. The doctor admitted that the
sick man could last only few hours longer.
SO a party of the patients friends went TO
wait upon the old boat-buiIder at his shop
and ask him % make coffin of suitable
size, and have it ready when the bereaye-
ment actually occurred

didn't like his neighbor who was dying. Even

INTEREST AND FATIGUE
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

N n ORE and more, it is of significance to
M find, psychologists are emphasizing
the Importance of interest as enc
my to fatigue. Thus, in the latest psyche
logical work that has come to my attention,
Bernard c. Ewers "Applied Psychology -
the statement is unhesitatingly made:
1.-THE great inhibiter of fatigue, both gen
uine and spurious, is interest. One who en-
joys his work or sees that 1t leads to the
fulfllment of his desires is enabled to stick
to it continuously with comparatively little
Weariness."
Readers familiar with my own writings
are well aware that l have long insisted on
the truth of this. But it is something that
will bear frequent reiteration and by many
pens. On every side are to be seen people
who suffer, and often seriously, because they
fail to utilize the fatigue-preYenting power
of interest.
They suffer in person and they suffer in
pocket Not only does their work needlessly
exhaust them, but through the exhaustion
they are kept from gaining or maintaining
level efficiency that would insure promo
ton.
There is meaning instead in the fact that
the men who achieve most in the way of
business success are the men who contriyed
from the time that they were business be-
ginners to be genuinely interested in the
tasks set them. While others were working
semi diligently-or not diligently at all
they were lntereStedly attacking the JOB and
that one.
The length Of the working-day was not
of paramount Importance to them. What
they wanted was to get their work done
right, no matter how long it took. And it
was evident even to their less Jealous asso-
ciates that they could work longer than
most people, without i'll effects and with ex-
cellent results.
y Of course, it may be alleged that this was
because they were men of naturally superior
physique to begin with No doubt the in
heritance Of a good physique counts for
much in numerous cases. But it is note
worthy that many a hard worker who defes
fatigue and achieves great deal, was a
physical Weakling in younger life
1t is equally noteworthy that many a
worker who perpetually complains of feeling
tired and achieves nothing, next to moth
ing, is a physical giant. The secret of ex-
ceptlonaI resistance to fatigue on the part
of workers is clearly not a matter of
physique only. Something else enters in
and that something, the evidence goes to
show, is the degree of interest taken in
the work one has to do.
