was something queer. First. some-

begun pumping. Now. somebody had
stopped pumping and was making

thought he heard the stake driving,
and sometimes he thought he heard

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Sad September.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
distinctly favorable and remain so
throughout the day. Only toward the
latter part of the evening is there
any indication OF a reverse condition..
There Is an ideal opportunity for the
commencement Of any serious under
taking. Although land and mining
deals will benefit most by the augu-
ries, nothing that indicates construc-
tive effort will be essayed in vain.
There will be sensed. at this time OF
astrological change. indomitable coul-
age. as we'll as "notto-be-denied' OPP
timism. 1t is an exceptionally auspl-
cious occasion for marriage, and those
who wed tomorrow will Give happily
ever afterward."
Children born tomorrow will flour
ish during infancy. In early child
hood, however, they will, according to
the omens. be subjected to number
of ailments, some of which will be
stubborn in character. Just after
reaching their teens they will become
normal and are fated to attain a Wig
orous adulthood. In disposition they
will be obedient and tractable. They
will, however. have wills of their own,
but good advice will generally sue
ceed in persuading them to do that
which is right. They will display
marked avidity for study and will
never be satisfied with superficiality:
They will be courageous. persevering
and very frank.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are very Observant and little escapes
your attention. AS a natural result
your love to travel will produce much
useful information while you are In
pursuit of this hobby. You do not pos
sess any marked degree of originality
and are rather initiative. and a good
imitator at that. You are always per.
suaded that you can do what you
have seen another do, and possibly
do it better. You are careful, pains
taking and prudent, as well az amia-
BILE, accommodating and honorable.
You will not, in all probability, attain
any abnormal degree of material sue.
cess because of your lack Of initiative.
You will, however, be moderately
prosperous because of your consci-
entious attention to all work intrust-
ed to your care. You are always hum

CHAPTER XII.
Jimmy at Last.

At 4 o'clock. conscious of the fact
that she was not going to do more
than doze off at intervals. Betty
dragged herself out of bed. At she
would have to get back on her case.
Suppose Jimmy did not call up before
then. suppose-just suppose-he never
called up--but even as this terrifying
thought occurred to her the doorbell
rang.
Reaching for her kimono and wrap
ping herself in II, she went to the
door. She threw it wide with every
certainty that Jimmy. boyishly peni-
tent, would be waiting outside. But
instead the laundry boy with a grin on
his face handed her a bulky parcel.
Betty carried it into the living room
and threw 1t on the couch. And then.
because she had been up all night and
was tired and ,nervously overwrought
she burst into tears.
BY the time it was ready for her to
leave the house and so back to st.
Martins she had somewhat composed
herself. But it was IL very pale Betty.
with swollen eyelids, who went on
duty that night. Jimmy had not tclc-
phoned her The rift between them
still existed.
Another gray night dragged itself
away, ana the next morning when she
reached the apartment she was too
physically exhausted to think. Moth
ing mattered but the fact that her
eyes felt as If there were sandpaper
under the lids. All night long they
had been dropping. dropping, until she
would wake suddenly. terrified. be-
cause for moment or two at least
she had yielded to sleep.
Some time later the telephone began
to ring in earnest. but she did not
hear It, Sunk in fathoms of slunlber.
her mind did not respond The tin
king bell sounded only as an accom-
paniment to her dreams. and after a
time 1t stopped. And then about a
half hour later the doorbell rang.
1t kept up persistently until at last
| it penetrated the girls consciousness
and she dragged herself out Of bed.
Her one idea was to stop the noise
so that she could go back to sleep. At
that time she did not even think of
| Jimmy-not until she opened the door
and saw him standing on the thresh-
old. and even then she only stared at
! him Stupidly.
He would have entered. but gradu-
ally Betty's senses were returning to
her and she remembered her appear
ance as we'll as the disorder of the
room behind her.

Leave sufficient leeway for unexpected
happenings and keep the schedule gen.
eral in tone. so it can be made as
SPECIFIC as the occasion demands. For
instance. YOU schedule an hour Of
work. You need not write down,
Sweep the cellar" Leave the work
to the time of it's need. 1t will be
enough for the child to know that he
has his hour of daily chores and that
they must be done at that time
The habit of routine keeps the child
healthy In mind and body. 1t estab-
fishes the rhythmic swing to the day
that is necessary to the happiness of
q human being. You know how up
set, how uncertain you are if it rains
ON washday. or if the club meeting is
put off. or if the family is late for
dinner Your schedule Is out Of joint,
your rhythm is disturbed. and you are
distressed. The child needs that even
beat Of daily living more than YOU do.
If you establish it early, you will not
have the trouble about a. lack of
promptnesS that distresses you so
