THIRD LUCKY 81
B|LLPUT INTO
CIRCULATION
Bank tellers are busy beings.


There was one teller in San An
tonic Tuesday who was so busy he
let $40 slip through his fingers. lie
still doesn't know~it. ~
He was passing out change at one
Of the windows of the Texas State
Bank and Trust company.
A representative of The Light came
in and asked for change for ~ BILL
I'VE try to get rid of these as fast
as we can" he said, handing out two
ones in exchange for the two. :
Then he tossed it into drawer
with other money. He didn't even
glance at the number.
That was 50 bill No. B. 69242537-A.
WORTH $40.
II is worth $40 when presented to
the Two-Spot Editor Of The San An
tonic Light.
II was the third two-spot to be
placed in circulation by The Light IN
its campaign to popularize the use
of the 81 bill, heretofore considered
unlucky.
Bill No. B. 9s6526OO-A. was hand
cd a girl at the Gunter Hotel cigar
stand in payment for two Travis
Club cigars Sunday. She called 1t
unlucky.
Bill No. B. 64O3S527 was given in
ravment for gasoline at the Bate
BROTHERS filling station. 1928 Broad
way. Monday night. 1t passed I'M
noticed.
So now there are three lucky per
ye,sbs in San Antonio but they don't
know it. Somebody has these three
hills and they are worth SO each.
LOOK IN YOUR POCKET.
The Light is anxious to hand out
three ten-spots in exchange for the
three twos.
Maybe you have one or all OF the
lucky twos in your pocket, if you're
not superstitious. Or if you haven t.
ask the bank for twos when you draw
q check.
Daily The Light will place a new
hill in circulation. Each will be OF

Two-Spot Editnr-S1o.
Let's cash EN-.
Surely some Of the observant ones
If San Antonio will pick the number
Of ono Of these Two-Spots before long.
The Light hopes u will be some pretty
shop girl who, watching the cash come
in over the counter, will retain in her
memory the number of one of the
three bills put in circulation and will
claim for herself the profit to which
her memory will cntitle her
NO CATCH.
There is no catch in the proposition.
The Treasury Department at Wash
ington has asked that the superstition
concerning 81 bills be overcome. They
are no more unlucky than are ones or
fivcs or tens or twenties. They are
printcd on the same printing presses
and on the same paper that other
msney is printed on. They are more

SILENCE OVER ALL.

She shrank back to the chill ex-
trcmity of fear. No one answered.
Margaret's desk in the corner was
opened. Papers were scattered about
as though uneasy hands had darted
frantically among them.
A sharp, piercing little cry fled
through the room. Nora Lee start
ed and was then aware that she had
sent out that frightened messenger.
She turned. weak with alarm and
went plodding up rne steps.
In Margaret's bureau all the draw
ers were pulled out, their contents
tossed in heaps on the floor. Mar
garet lay on the bed, her beautiful
hair falling over her face, her hands
dangling.
Nora Lee stood in the middle OF
the room and murmured: Mother
Oh mother"
She crept to the bed ard touched
Margaret's hands. When the fingers
fluttcrcd on hers, sac dropped to her
knees. She, cried and cried.
A VOICE AT LAST.
A sound exquisite though it came
all filled with tears, and a touch
light as a breath across her hair ::
Dear one-dear one-never mind
1t was as though a spirit spoke.
But Nora Lee laughed. Death
dropped out of her heart and hopu
flew in.
For that was her mother speaking.
That was Marsarct's smile and that
her sweet, sweet voice.
She stopped and pressed wet eyes
against the pale, lovely face and
murmured soft, adoring things i'll
MarGarct's ear.
Margaret opened distracted eyes
"Why are you here. Nora Lee?"
"Why did I go? Why did l ever
gO-Ob, mother"
1t was a long time before the color
came to the marble skin; before the
blue line Of pain was wiped from
the chiseled mouth. Then Margaret
put away Nora Lees protecting
arms. She scolded lovingly: Foolish
girl. why did you come? l was rest
ing-only resting. Why, you aren't
crying, are you? Now don't. This
is nothing, I've often had a turn
The girl turned quickly, covering
her face with her hands. She made
a despairing motion to the disordered
room. 1t seemed that Margaret had
dumped out all these possessions to
sort them, as though she were max
ing ready for a long parting and
wished that all might be in order.
She said with n harsh, shiverinE
sob: why, mother? Oh all this !!

Small, Arched Foot Is
Indication Of Pride
and Breeding.
Bv BESS CARROLL.

When you put your foot down, what
traits of character do you reveal!
Some definite earmark to Jour real
self, surely. for it has. been discovered
that character and personality can be
definitely judged from the type of the
gait, the shape of the foot, the size Of
the ankles and the arch of the instep
]. NJ. Watson, a pioneer shoe man and
president of one of San Antonio's best
known shoe shops, declares that the
art of telling character from the feet
is simple and accurate psychology to
the filter.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-09-02
TELL YOUR SECRETS,

Traits and personalities and types
these are the secrets that the shoe man
CLEANS from your corns and arches
and shoe numbers. He sometimes learns
little things about your disposition or
temperament that you don't even sus-
pcct about yoursclf-whether you are
determined or sensitive; whether your
nature is precise or casy-going, and
whether your ancestors were passen-
gers on the Mayflower.
Mr.. Watson declares that high
arches and elevated insteps unfaillnSly
mean aristocratic lineage. Blue blood
never fails to assert itself this way.
Queens and their many times great
grandchildren always bear this mark
of high breeding, and descendants OF
noble men and women possess 1t.
ABOUT SLENDER FEET.
Likewise, small, slender feet are
marks of splendid ancestry; good
breeding is usually denoted by daintl-
ness and lack of size. Shapely lines,
in larger feet, are also indicators OF
aristoCracy.
Business men need not be discour-
aged by the lack of "daintiness" and
high arches and slender lines, how
ever, for Mr.. Watson says the aver
age business man has flat feet with
low arches. This type of masculine
foot belongs TO the man who is ego
getter"-the man who thinks Of de-
tails, analyses eevry situation, and
who usually succeeds in every ven
| ture.
Slender feet in men or women in
dictate an artistic temperament, and
often mean a sensitive. proud nature
Impulsiveness is likely to be found
among posscssors of slender feet.
PRACTICAL TYPE.
Short, broad feet usually indicate
the practical type-the man or woman
who can make quick decisions and
think for themselves. Executive abil'
ity is often indicated by this type
of feet.
The proper way to walk nowadays
is with the feet in the natural posi-
ton, straight ahead instead of turned
ont. Most people know this-the mod

thought your mother'd like to know"
Nora Lee stared at her mutely. Why
should Margaret care about Agnes
Carp or her baby?
ANXIETY GROWS.
She went through the back yard.
The kitchen door was unlatched. Sud
denly she was remembering Virginia
Day. Why had Virginia come to her
with that peculiar insistence? 1t was
just as she finished packing her suit
case. Virginia's soft mouth, with
its full, red underlip, had a look of
desperate pleading. She said: I'll
go with you. Nora Lee, if you're wor.
ricd about your mother" Nora Lee
said, sharply: I'm not worried al
all Why should ! be-"
And Virginia almost sobbed: "Then
you won't let me go with you? You
don't want me?"
Why had she acted so? Oh, for no
reason at all! Because, as Nora Lee
came down the steps, Virginia was
stepping into a machine with Hum
phrey Arnold. They had a box, as
though they were going to picnic.
Virginia waved her hand. Why is
there always something sad about the
waving of little, white hand?
She glanced swiftly to the living
room windows. At least Margaret
might have been there! She might
have known how frightened that tele-
phone call would make a person!
She flew into the room, giving a
faint, soft laugh and calling, Moth.
