A F.rTTTE SATURDAY. TALK

1m &kEAA&1n 9h4OAA&S<A4 4 AAx xAA<kA
 On other days of the week, l write about history, travel, science or invention, but on Saturday I like to have a little talk with my Corner friends, just as if we were sshome fo1lks.''
 Except in d few cases-of boys and girls who happen to live near my home--your part of the talk must come from letters. Hundreds of letters reach me each week, and leaflets and membership certificates are mailed to those who send re- turn envelopes.
 Of course I have assistants who ! help handle the coupons, but when ever a letter comes with coupon enjoy reading the words which are sent to me.
 As I glance down at my desk, I see perhaps a dozen letters from readers. The first one which reaches my eyes is this:
 ssDear SirS: Please send me with- out cost or obligation on my part, one of Uncle Rays Surprise leaf- let's containing riddles, tricks and puzzles. Enclosed. find stamped self addressed envelope. Yours,
 'sJoseph Alarie.' I smile about the opening part of the letter. No, Joseph, there is neither "cost nor obligation" about receiving the Surprise leafiet. Thousands of copies have been mailed to readers who sent return envelopes. The idea of the leaaet is to give something extra" to my Corner friends.
 The Surprise Ieafet is just a single large folded sheet, filled with reading material. wish I were rich enough to mail a book to every reader who wrote to me.
 Another 1etter-from Margery Ellen Rhoads-contains this para graph:
 s'I have a pet kitten named Sun shine. We let him in the house. He plays until he gets tired. Then he will hunt for a shoe to lie fn." Be careful when you put on yours shoes, Margery!
 Still another letter runs as fol- Dear Uncle Ray: I am writing to see if it is too late to join your Scrapb0Ok club. am nine years old. enjoy reading your Corner. Please write and let me know if I may join. Yours very truly,

Nose. With "Horns"

Horns on the head of Moses, in some
of the early pictures, are accounted
for by blunder in the translation Of
the Book of Exodus 81 :29-30. In some
of the early TRANSACTIONS the Hebrew
phrase stating that the face of Moses
shone or sent forth beams were errone-
ously translated "sent forth horns. 4"
Michelangelo, one of the greatest Of
painters, used the erroneous transla-
tlon in his depletion Of Moses.

tended to. The suggestion, planted
by Mariner on the day Of Edwards
first visit, that he ought to put him
self as well as his money into the
, business, from being remote and al
most fantastic possibility came nearer
with the irresistible rush Of an ex-
press train.
Early in November, well within a
month of the time he'd made his first
investment in the company, he sent
his resignation as cashier Of the Chi
cago agency to the home Office. The
stab of terror that accompanied his
writing the letter was in itself half
pleasureable. He informed the second
vice president that he had gone into
business Of his own which would re-
quire all his time. He left the com.
pany with regret and without criti-
cism, let alone complaint, Of their
treatment Of him.
He spent, there was no denying 1t,
a nightmarish three or four days wait
ing for the answer to his letter. But
when 1t came, he felt profound re-
lief.
That same day Albert Willard
dropped into his office. He'd hap
pened to be passing by, he said with
transparent insincerity, and had run
up on the spur Of the moment to sug-
gest that they lunch together. It was
a devil of while since they'd seen
anything Of each other, really. Ed
ward was quite aware that this was
true, and that it was his, own doing.
He'd been avoiding Bert lately though
Bert was his Oldest friend.
"Yes, wen so to lunch together" he
said. "But sit down a minute first.
There's something / want to tell you
about" Now that he was irrevoc-
ably committed to the great adventure,
he didn't want to wait even while
they were walking around the corner
to the club.
Except for a profane exclamation
Of establishment now and then and
non-committal question or two, Bert
listened in silence to the whole story.
"4OuVe Deeu hScpihS IL almighty
dark. 1t seems to me-" he commented
thoughtfully when Edward had fin
ished. 'Didn't want to be argued out
Of it, suppose. Like kid VINO
wants to marry some girl his family
don't approve of. I know"
Edward laughed little uneasily at
the comparison. "All right, go ahead.
It's your turn. You're entitled to a
chance to tell me I've been id
fool"
.sThere's not much point" Bert OBJ
served mildly. sin telling man he's
been a id fool. And anyhow I'm
not a bit sure 1t is true. A thing like
that may be just as good as it looks,
