"There Are other Opportunities. :"

1 There Are Other Opportunities" To keep myself from betraying the bcwiIdered joy which was mine, forced my lips 10 an apparently anxious question.
 This research work concerning Charlemagne will cover so long q period of time then?" Hi, smile was the indulgent one man might give to a child, but I caught a glint in his eyes which warned me that Philip Eeritzen did not Jike questions and that I had . done enough of it.
 "Oh no. indeed" he replied "but there are plenty of other opportuni- ties in my work for your unusual { gifts and equipment. I also shall 1 have an understanding in your con- tract that l may lend your services 1 to some other producer if there comes an interval of q few weeks when there is nothing for you to do in my work. l think. however, there is little likelihood of that possibility, land in any contingency your salary . goes on"
 He bent toward me and looked al me steadily with an expression in his eyes that made my pulses ham, mer against my wrists. "Then You Accept?"
 My dear Mrs Graham" he said, | do not believe you realize the op- ! |portunires which your taking Up this work will open ont to you. There is a. brilliant future before you, my child, in q line Of which you have no idea as yet But l do mot wish to influence your decision lin any way. Take plenty of time 10 think this over, consult with Mrs Underwood and let me know. There
 is no need for me to say anything more. I have outlined the work and the terms. The rest is with you.'
 A mortified thought struck me. Ibid the man think I meant to haggle with him. I spoke suddenly, impetu- ously.
 q do not need to wait for Mrs. Underwood. The work is what l have wished 10 do for years. and your terms are most"-I clipped back the word "generous,' and sub stitutod Satisfactory" Then you accept?" he asked. "Provided I can make satisfactory arrangements for the care of my boy" I replied.

Madge Promises to Go Into
 EeritEen'S Employ.

Two impulses warred within me as Philip Veritzen said that we had not yet spoken of that very i'm portant item, the remuneration, for 1he historical research work he had asked me 10 undertake for him. One trembling upon my lips was to voice my long repressed longing for the very chance he was giving me, and 70 tell him that l did not care what I received so long as l had the op- portunity 10 do the work l so loved under such wonderful auspices. But warier and more sensible thought kept back the nasty speech. l was no bargainer. but knew that the per son who keeps silence until the time is ripe for utterance has all the ad- vantage In any situation, so l made no reply to his last speech simply gave him courteously attentive look.
 ''I am prepared 10 offer you this sum for the period of year he said, and named an amount which to him I suspected was compara- lively modest one. To me, however. who was used only 10 the salaries of teachers, it appeared a staggering thing. I longed for the temporary ownership of LiIlian's poker face as listened. for I feared that there was mirrored in my own the amazed joy with which 1 heard the sum he named.
 q will ask you 10 sign an agree ment giving me the exclusive right to your time and services during that year. with an option for a years renewal at the end of that time, and will pay you this for the option at ,hs time you sign the contract"
 With a leap of my pulses l real ized that the sum he had named for the option would give me ample funds for any expenses l might in cur at the apartment until my first months salary came due. This would free me from three alterna- tives which had faced me, the re- hinder to Dicky that my household allowance was overdue, an appeal to my father, or the meddling with the sum which I had received from my father for the farm. This had put away in a savings bank with the VOW that I would keep it intact for the purchase of another country nome when Dicky's changeable na- ture should decide that he wished to live in one again.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR. HUGH s. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service


 Public Health Service Heart disease frequently does not show itself until years after the damage has been done.
 Some of the valves may not have been fitting properly for years. The heart muscle may have been weak ened and have had 10 contract more often to drive the blood along, thus tiring or even becoming exhausted. 1 The vessels may have lost some of their elasticity, so the heart has to push against more resistance, caus- ing so-called high blood pressure. ! But usually nothing is felt in the | heart. or over the heart. The person who thinks himself well has an at l tack of indigestion, or runs for q street car, and finds he is short of breath. Perhaps he develops per manent cough, or chronic indiges- tion. That little emergency call for more blood exhausted the injured heart.
 When well established. the condi- ton is difficult 10 cure, but may be helped by proper rest, exercise. diet and hygiene With these measures under the guidance of q physician, in spite of tho handicap. the desira- ble three score and ten years of age may often he reached.
 How shall we prevent heart dis caseo The answer is, remove or limit the causes. Probably the most important causes are infectious dis cases.
 The old notion that children must have these diseases in order to grow up is responsible for much heart disease. Abolish this notion.
 Well-trained and efficient school nurses can do perhaps more in di- rect control than any other special officials In the health organization. The school nurse should send home suspected cases of infectious disease, and follow mp with explanations.

Largely Attended and
Unique Graduation Ex-
ercise Here.
MUSIC IS SPLENDID
Doctor Moore Addresses
Class on ''T'he New
AristOcracy"

One of the most unusual and un-
doubtedly the most largely attended
graduation exercises ever held in
this city took place last night in the
city park when seniors of the East
Side high school received their di-
plomas before an audience estimated
roughly at between $50 and-1000
persons.
Bringing to an emu The most sue
cessful year in the history of the
East Side school, the largely attend
ed exercises showed the strong COM
munitv interest felt by residents Of
the East Side in their young people,
and in the advancement of educa-
ton. Many other citizens of the city
were also present, number being
attracted by the splendid musical
program.
The outstanding feature of the eve
ming was the address delivered by
DR.. f. w. Moore of San Francisco,
one of the best known colored speak
ers on the Pacific coast and an out
standing leader among his people.
Dir. Moore delivered a fine ad-
dress entitled The New Aristoc-
racy.''
In his address the speaker empha-
sized the fact t;lat while former
aristocracies have been based on
wealth and other standards, the new
aristocracy is based ON service. He
then enlarged upon the ideal of ser
vice and encouraged the young grad
yates to live up to the highest types
of service.
The program opened with 4 pro-
cessional, followed by the invocation
by Rev. McClendon, and a selection
by the high school chorus. Elizabeth
Payne delivered an Grafton emitted
"Lincoln anG the Constitution;
Jerdie Hall, one on 'The Aerial
Service;' Ardmore Dixon on 1.-THE
Service Ideal;" Ruby Williams on
1.-The Youth Movement and Mar
garet Finney on "The New Negro"
these five young people being the
graduates. The presentation of the
class by Principal w. A. Payne fol-
lowed by the awarding of diplomas
by r. P. Moore of the board of trus-
tees completed the evening. The
musical numbers by the class, and
the high school chorus, were particu-
larly fine.
