The TANCLE

CARE OF THE SECRET
DRAWER. CONTINUED

If Jack and l were not married,
little Marquise, l am sure l would
think that knew him better than
know myself, for would have
raised up an ideal in Jacks form
and I would write without any mis-
givings, because my imagination
would tell me that my ideal would
understand me, just as understood
him.
1t is now that am afraid, be-
cause 1 know that Jacks ideal Of me
is just as erroneous as mine has
been Of him.
Why should be afraid even if
Jack has not lived up to the ideal l
had of him? Surely my life with
him has told me that he has enough
sentiment within his soul to appre-
ciate real love letter from any
woman--even wife Of four years.

more than two years. have proved
this untrue, for this is what came
out of my heart and wrote itself
upon the page sent to my husband:
love you. The whole world is
contained in these words and from
the time that speech was born some
one has been whispering them into
longing and listening ears.
And here, husband mine, am
saying them to you, hoping that in
this prosaic age where love is flout-
ed and sentiment ridiculed that you
will at least understand what they
mean to ME.

Popular Illusions
Farmers in a certain district in
California have paid $4,000 to Rain

amount of rain having fallen. and
Texas districts are reported as bid
ding for his services.
And yet, every rain which visited
this district was traced by the
weather bureau at least a thousand
miles. from its origin in the Pacific
Ocean to far beyond the rain-mak-
er's contract district. Not drop
fell from any storm local to the
scene of his labors. Either he was
calling cyclones from the distant
deep, or he called nothing.
Since scarcely anybody believes in
rain-makers, this demonstration Of
their illogic may not be important.
But it does illustrate the mental
process of most of our popular il
lusions.
Grandmother put goose grease on
three sore throats that got we'll.
Therefore, these three cases are
more conclusive, to her and her de-
scendants, than all the hundreds of
millions of sore threats in the col
lected experience Of the medical pro-
fession. Uncle Henry lost his mon
ey in bank that "broke." There

The whole trouble is simply lack
of imagination. Those Tulare Lake

New York, May S.-The Pennsyl-
vania Station here covers four or
binary city blocks. 1t has many eX-
its to streets and the subway and to
an underground tunnel to Sixth ave-
nue. and Broadway.
This would seem to indicate that
such a place would be ideal for the
operations Of crooks, since thousands
of strangers pass through each day.
Also great shipments of currency
and gold are dispatched and received
by train.
But the Pennsylvania Station
would be about the last place in
town that big robbery could be
successfully staged.
In an upper office sits the chief
of railroad detectives and police. If
an alarm comes to him, all he has to
do is to push a button and in less
than three minutes every exit of the
immense structure is covered by
armed guards.
The casual traveller is little aware
of the measures taken to protect
him while he is travelling. Railroad
police have a system that makes
thievery in their domain mighty
precarious occupation. Recently a
fur coat was stolen from woman
travelling from Buffalo to New York.
Railroad detectives figured that the
thief would leave the train before
i. arrived here and would double
back to Buffalo. Two of them went
to Buffalo and within five minutes
had arrested the man who stole the
coat. They picked him up on the
street through their memory of faces
of criminals.
For the first time since prohibition
was enacted New York is facing a

SPRING FEVER
Pittsburgh SUM

tPlttSDurgn SUM
At this season of the year. just
before spring fever becomes cpl
demic, the bleached urbanite
swells with longing and puffs with
determination:
Il To own a little place in the
country, if it weren't so far from
town.
2. To raise chickens and sell
the eggs. if 1t weren't so much
trouble to feed ,'em.
3. TO have nice little garden
to grow just enough stuff for our
selves, if it weren't that spacing
gives one kink in the back.
a. To walk to the office every
morning. and home again in the
evening, if it weren't so far. and
the sidewalks weren't so hard, and

duty to patronize the street cars.
And so the b. u. goes out and
buys another golf club.

FIRST MAGNET

BY NEA Service
Washington, May Magnetism
was discovered more than 1000 years
ago; when shepherd boy found that
the iron-shod end of his crook was
clinging to a stone. This stone. a
hard, black mineral which was an
oxide of iron, came to be known as
magnes-stone, as it was found in a
district called Magnesia. In this
way, the word magnet was derived.
No use of the mineral was made for
centuries, but at last Chinese found
that piece of the mineral, when
suspended, always pointed to the
north and south.
