THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

"One thing here is worth a great
deal, to pass thy life in truth and
justice. with a benevolent disposition
even to liars and unjust men"
So says Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
in the sixth book of his "Meditations -
The latter half of the sentence will
be most interesting to most persons.
II is one thing to attempt to pass
ones life according TO the highest
truth and ideas of justice one pos
sesses; it Is distinctly another to have
benevolent disposition toward liars
and unjust men.
Yet that Is the ideal of conduct held
out to US by all the great teachers of
the world, with Jesus of Nazareth
standing at the pinnacle. and he who
takes life at all seriously must make
some trial of the method.
1t Is easy enough to be benevolent
when life flows smoothly. In the
presence of great men most are ex-
tremely good natured. The very rich
anect US much the same way.
Most men go out of their way to be
good natured toward other men who
can help them onward, and overlook
much that ought to be condemned.
1t Is amusing to listen TO d group
praising such a one. The man is
without fault!
Toward the lowly, on the other
hand, the attitude of benevolence is
not so easily assumed nor so per-
sistently held. We have a grudge
against liars of all sorts, also against
unjust men.
The latter term, translated into
modern language, probably means
simply mean fellows" The world is
full OF these nasty actors" as slang
has 1t, men who delight in poking
fun, tormenting others, resorting to
downright cruelty.
From this tribe is recruited the
gentleman, seen at every beach this
time of the year, who delights in
"ducking" his innocent offspring be
meath the waves, frightening it per
haps forever.
"Accustom thyself to attend care
fully to what is said by another and
as much as possible, be in the
speakers mind"
This is a worthwhile admonition
for the number of those who are only
interested in their own thoughts and
actions has increased since 1s0 AID
Certainly there are far too many
poor listeners. Once it was esteemed
a mark OF ordinary good breeding tc
listen to what another had to say.
Today, all too often, we speak tc
those who give plain evidence OF
being absolutely uninterested in what
we are telling them.
Often they merely tolerate your
speech. Sometimes they do not listen
at all, and If you We're to ask then
what you had just said, they could
not tell you for love or money.
Those who are offenders in this way
often are unaware of their fault, be
cause they are SO engrossed with theiI
own precious thoughts they do not
hear you at all.
Such ought to be regarded with q
benevolent mind. as the product OF ar
age which places more accent upon
physical than upon mental health.
They, In turn, should at least make
an attempt Ito be in the speaker
mind" If they value in the least their
reputation for courtesy.

understood there was a patient
mere besides Mrs. DANA"
The matron turned slowly round
There was the boy who left this
morning" she said inquiringly.
But understood from Doctor Ian
caster-at least, he didn't tell me In
SO many words, but he gave me to
understand that there was a special
case here, requiring care and sym
pathy."
The matron stared at her. .No.
there's nobody" she said. Nobody
except"
Suddenly she uttered a convulsive
sound and. putting her hands over her
race, ran from the room. Joan heard
her stumbling down the corridor out
side as if she had gone blind.
She stood irresolute in her room.
Her sleepiness was gone; she was
afraid. and she seemed to have got
OUT OF her depth. 1t had begun with
John Lancaster's strange behavior in
his office the evening before. She had
not been able then to reconcile him
In any way with the Lancaster whom
she had seen, SNUG, self-satisfied and
vain, in the operating room, the bully
who kept the nurses In agitation and
fear, though he was the traditional
John Lancaster of whom she had
heard. Then there was the man My
ers, equally strange; and the matron.
Some mystery was at the heart of it
all; and Joan was the more afraid
because the reason for her fear was
unknown to her.
Her Sleepiness was gone. She stood
beside the window, looking out into
the darkness. A whippoorwill was
calling monotonously among the pines |:
here and there among the hills a soil
tary light was twinkling. The air was
cool and balsam scented. It was like
the dearly remembered days at home.
But in the heart of that peace was
apprehension.s
Looking back now, Joan thought
that she had undertaken a rash and
extraordinary adventure In coming so
far from AvOnmouth alone, and at the
proposal of man whose reputation
was an evil one. She would go home
on the morrow.
Something was wrong, and in spite
| of his apparent kindness an inner
prompting warned her to beware of
Lancaster. He was at the heart of
all this, and had enmeshed her in
some scheme for his own purposes.
She locked her door and went to bed,
to sleep restlessly.

Chapter v

When she awakened it was morn
ing. The sun was streaming brightly
into the room. Through the window
Joan saw scene of exquisite beauty
in the rolling hills, the winding road,
the forest glades. Underneath the
chickens were scrambling for the corn
which the matron was flinging to
them. A thousand birds were awing,
the universal robin and the bluebird
Of her beloved home. The dew lay
heavy on the leaves and grass Joan
felt sudden ecstasy. This was her
own country, and she had come back
to 1t. Her fears were dissipated with
the night shadows.
She would remain. She decided that
while she was dressing. And yet a
doubt was in her heart. And with 1t
came the remembrance of something
that had disturbed her during the
night. Filtering into her conscious
mobile rolling up to the door, and Of
mems voices converSing in low tones
under her window. Then the machine
had rolled away. It must have been
about two in the morning.
Perhaps patient had been brought
to the institute, thought the girl, as
she went downstairs. Mrs. Fraser's
door was closed, and the only person
astir seemed to be the colored maid,
who nodded and smiled as she looked
up from her sweeping. Joan began to
pace the long verandah in front of
the building, looking out across the
hills and thinking over her situation.
Perhaps it was only morbidness, or
mental fatigue, that had made her
read things in the faces of Myers and
Mrs. Fraser which did not exist there
Perhaps the day would disclose her
position more definitely.
She was walking past the open door
Of the building when she saw man
leaving the. doctors room. 1t was
Myers, the secretary. He saw Joan
and came briskly out upon the We
randall.
"Good morning, Miss Wentworth"
he said, in his rasping tones. pleas
ant weather, isn't it? Much better

"How do you do, Mr.. Myers" said
Joan, trying to overcome her instinc-

He looked at her with a sort OF
ouizzical shrewdness. what makes

inquired.

We've met already" said Myers,
scrutinizing her closely. He seemed
now to wear the same furtive air as
Mrs. Fraser; it seemed part of the
atmosphere of the institution. Joan
had perceived it in the coachman, too

hope we shall all get along well to-

Joan refused to face the problem
of Myers undoubted hostility. She
went into the dining room, and found
to her relief that the table was ONLY
laid for one.
"Mr. Myers has had supperP" she
asked.
"You are to have your meals alone,

"But l should not wish"

Fraser, in tone of finality.
Coming in with the dessert. Mrs.
Fraser found her nodding at the table.

fatigue after the all-day Journey She
began to realize, too, that her work
at the hospital had been harder than
she had known.

"Jhe best thing you can do, Miss

Wentworth, and please remember it's
you who give the orders"
She preceded her up the stairs, car
rying an oil lamp. She set it down in
Joan's room, and then she seemed to
hesitate.
Miss Wentworth" she said, "the
doctor wants us to do everything we
can to make you comfortable. There
