Thought Yields Great
Influence i'm Our Lives

Practically all the ills in life
spring largely from our ignorance
of the working of mental laws.
Most of us have no idea that
thought has more to do with de-
termining our conditions, with
shaping our circumstances and
environment, bringing us poverty
or wealth, attaining our ideal or
driving it from US, than any OTTER
thing.
Most human beings could be liv-
ing in comfort and happiness, if
they only knew the powers locked
up in themselves and had learned
the secret of using their minds to
back up their efforts on the mate
rial plane.

Bob had given their hostess all his attention during the time he was there. She had watched him laughing with her and looking down at her when they sat so long on that secluded couch. What possible chance could a Glovers- vile girl have with such 8 woman?
 That was the thought that had hardened her heart, and that was what made her speak so distantly to Bob the next day when she met him coming up the steps. He had been talking to Pat, who was putt tering around as usual with his broom and dust-mop. Bob looked up eagerly when Kathleen came out the door. But because she did not stop, he turned and whistled for Schmatz and went quickly up to his own room.
 Pat looked after him with a puzzled frown. He leaned on his broom for 8 minute in deep thought, then nodded his head sagely. Something happened at that jamboree O the Duchess now. Ye can't git that many loonies togither and not have something pop. Miss Kathy oughtn't a gone. Jist whin thim youngsters were gittin' along foine and dandy, too."
 He worried about 1t all the time Kathleen was gone, and found every kind of excuse to be near the front hall when she came in again. He had made up his mind to try talking to her to find out what had happened. The Duchess had not come down to her studio that morning, so there was no req son for him to go up there. Be- sides, Pat always took anything she said with whole peck of salt.
 Accordingly when Kathleen did come back with a loaf of bread under her arm, Pat was tacking down bit of the carpet near her door.
 'Eh and it's back ye are. thought I'd git this all done while ye was gone" He hefted his ham, mer as he asked casually. Have a good time at the party now? Ye and Bob McTavish?"
 T had an interesting after noon," Kathleen replied stiffly.. q don't know about MT. McTavish. I didn't have a chance to talk to him all the time was there"
 "So," Pat shook some tacks into his hand. "The other gurls after him, eh?"
 Kathleen tossed her head. "The Duchess saw to 1t he was enter tained. Why did you ask?"
 Nothing" answered the janitor evasively. "Only good-lookin' young feller now, all the gurls are likely to swarm around like bees about honey-pot."
 Well, heres one girl who doesn't do any swarming," Kathleen told him. q met several other men who are much more interesting. Very cultured, travelled men,"
 Pat grinned. "A bunch O lions maybe? The Duchess always tries to git herself any stray one what ventures into town. I'm minded now O the time we knocked a chunk of the ceillin' hoistin' in a grand piano, because she was goin'

CHAPTER VII

In a minute everyone was talking at once and craning their necks tc see. Bob turned to the Duchess.
 You can't think how sorry ] am this had to happen he began
 Professor Bracey lighted the vase. If your writer friend in- sistS on bringing his dog with him. my dear Duchess, you can expect to have things happen. That is if McTavish is writer, he added pointedly.
 Bob took a quick step forward as though he was going to drive his fist hard into the other mans dark, taunting face, then he turned and snapped his fingers to Schmatz. If you want me about this. you'll know where to find me-" he told the Duchess.
 "It wasn't your fault, Bob dear, she replied.
 "It really was an accident Duchess, the professor interrup- ted with shrug. Besides, that wasn't the picture you should ex- hibit anyway. It didn't compare with that City at Midnight" He pointed at murky canvas showing a tangled mass of lines and corners
 Immediately the Duchess atten. ton was distracted from the ca. tastrophe to the other painting and Bob and his dog made theil escape.
 That night for the first time since she left home Kathleen could no sleep. The affair in the studio af. fected her more than she cared tc admit. All those queer people-Pro. lessor Bracey, and the Duchess - rushing to Bob's defense. Just who were they all and how did they fit into the puzzle? She had been thinking more about Bob McTavish than she had realized, and always 1t gave her a warm glowing feel ing to know he was so near she could call him if she wished. And Schmatz-he was cunning. The jolly little supper they had had in her studio, and the walks they had taken in the park with the dog at their heels. She had been so happy lately she hadn't had time to worry because her pay was small for her long hours of work. Almost she had forgotten the possibility of having to so back to Gloversville and Aunt Hattie and ole Williams.
 Yet she was almost certain she was not in love with Bob. Not if what Aunt Hattie had told her was true. Aunt Hattie had known Uncle Henry for years and years and her affection for him had gradually deepened into some- thing big and broad and sacred Really nice people never fell in love suddenly. It wasn't-well like the measles, for instance. She didn't actually know anything about Bob, except that he had the very incest smile she had ever seen, and when she was with him nothing else really matterd. Everything seemed gay and young and hopeful.
 Maybe that disturbing Professor Bracey was the one she might really love. If only he hadn't kick ed the dog. He certainly inspired feeling of awe and uncertainty that was possibly what Aunt Hat tie had meant. But she wondered why Schmatz had attacked him, why she, herself, cringed whenever he touched her. She almost dreaded the time when she would see him again. Bob hated him after what happened at the party. She was sure of that. But after Bob had gone, the professor had turned 1t all off so easily.
 Yet, why had the Duchess been so quick to try to lay the blame on someone else? Most certainly
