CHAPTER TWENTY Ringing the Silver Bells

40 oOOli dS l4lC DUH SGO ONtI OllC snowy fields the sailor took charge of the boat and headed it back to the white foxs mountain. Helga's cheeks were so bright, both from the excitement of the race and the .sun's afterglow that she looked quite pretty again.
 The sailor noticed that and grinned
 Helga, almost as if she had read Ihis thoughts laughed and said Didn't the white fox look silly? He didn't look brave at all. Just mad" Then she added shyly, You look much braver."
 The sailor seemed pleased but he said nothing. Then Helga began to feel hungry And that's dread ful way up North where there seems to be nothing but snow. Finally she could keep still no longer.
 She said, Sailor, could we have something to eat?"
 Calling the Queen
 The sailor slowed down his boat and said, Well, we can't have as fine fare as the white fox serves, but we'll find something" Helga protested, "Oh, but when I eat with you I won't have to worry that you'd get angry, as the fox did"
 Why, I might get very angry" said the sailor, but he laughed as he said it.
 Now then, how do we get food?" he continued. AS the boat slipped along over the snow he took out the silver bells he had stolen from the fox, and shook them.
 Why, those are the bells I gave the fox" said Helga. What are you doing?"
 I'm calling the Queen of Fairies, !" said the sailor.
 Suddenly right on top of the mast there was little pop" and a bright flash of light, as though tiny fire cracker had exploded. And there stood the Queen of Fairies. She flew down to the sailors shoulder. Tea For Three
 You've had an exciting trip. I've brought tea for you" As she spoke she pulled a tiny handker- chief from her pocket, and spread it on the deck. As she spread it tiny cups and plates appeared which grew bigger and bigger until they were just the right size for Helga and the sailor. There were hot biscuits, steaming tea and a wee pot of strawberry jam. "Oh-lovely," said Helga. Please have tea with us." Thank you" said the Queen of Fairies. When they had finished the Queen rolled up the handkerchief again, and it grew smaller and smaller. Then she was gone, pop. ' Helga looked at the sailor admir- ingly. You have such nice friends, T jsl1e said. You know the white fox 1never had callers. He is a great awhite fox, but no one comes to see lhim."
 I Yes, I know" said the sailor But I think it's better to have good friends than to be the great est anything in the world"
 That's what I think, too" said Helga.

InStallment sales are estimated in
trade circles to have increased from
nearly three billions in 1894 to more
than five billions in 1896, and are
SUN higher for 1887. Three-fifths of
all the motor cars sold in the United
States are purchased on the INSTALL
ment plan. In some other goods the
percentage is even larger. The re-
suit is that the income of millions of
individuals is partly mortgaged for
year or more in advance. This fact
adversely affects the sale of other sorts
OF consumers goods, and the warning
is now being given that it is already
leading to contraction of retail trade
in general
Speculation in Goods.
The profoundly unsound economics
pursued by the American consumer
Is one thing that is not the fault of
the United States Government. You
cannot any longer speculate in the
Stock Exchange on a shoestring. You
must put up SIS per cent margin when
you buy stocks But American busi-
ness continues to encourage the widest
kind Of speculation in consumers
goods.
A man with family to support,
earning s35 week, is encouraged to
buy simultaneously on installment
terms a radio. an automobile, an elec-
trio refrigerator, suits Of clothes and
lessons in taxidermy. Arrangements
have even been made whereby you
can take an ocean cruise and pay for
1t some time in the future. 1t was a
bright idea, for it was one way of
avoiding the other collectors-for the
time being, anyhow

for this lies with business salesman
ship, which. through high pressure
methods, constantly creates demands
IN the minds of people which they can
not reasonably hope to satisfy within
the framework of their incomes. There
are plenty Of young men earning $40
week who buy . new automobile at
least every two years. Homes with
leaky roofs and inadequate meals for
the children are equipped with every
kind OF gadget.
When the Government builds houses
with green and black bath rooms for
the poor. business men howl to high
heaven that the poor are being given
delusions Of grandeur. but they do
the same thing themselves all the time.
The great danger Is that if there
Is the slightest recession in business,
resulting in reduced incomes, millions
of people will not be able to pay the
bills created by installment purchases,
and will lose their equities in the
things they have bought and cause
large losses both to themselves and to
business. A colossal gamble is going
on-the gamble that no depression will
set in before these things can be paid
for.
Delusion Of Wealth.
This country, more than any other
nation on earth, lives in a delusion Of
wealth, and much installment selling
acts as narcotic to nurture that
delusion. The mortgaged family
knows no happiness, security or con-
tentment. 1t lives under a continual
nervous strain. A major illness, an
operation, means catastrophe The
family doctor sits up all night when
the baby is born, and cannot collect
his modest bill because the agents
are at the door with a previous claim.
Everybody pays for the reckless in
debtedness-not only the family, but
its other creditors. And it's impos-
sible to estimate what the real pros
perity Of the country is at any mo-
ment, because sales are counted which
are not sales at all, but merely highly
speculative loans. The standard Of
living become confused with the ca
pacity for creating indebtedness, and
when the latter capacity is exhausted
the debtor feels that life has gyped
him.

WASHINGTON HILL
 DIXIES WON AGAIN

The Washington Hill DixieS took another step toward the intermedi- ate title of the city by defeating the strong Warriors at the Boys Club Saturday night to the tune of 49-12. The Dixies, a fighting five if there ever was one, proved too strong for the ClubberS. The first half was very close with the Dixies ahead at half time 12-1O. That great pair Jackie Pee Wee" Bannon and Wally Trunk" Tunnel were every where. They were blocking shots, breaking up the Warriors passing attack and seeped through the los- CTS defense for shots under the hoop. The Dixies ran up a 5-4 lead at the first quarter thanks to the fine
 shooting of Bannon and Tunnel. The beginning of the second quarter found Lamberti getting successive baskets combined with double decker by Buddy Jones, dependable guard of the Dixies. The half ended with the Clubbers behind 12-10. Af- ter a strong pep talk the Dixies ran up no less than 18 points in the third quarter while holding their opponents scoreless to make the score 30-10. With Tunnel and Ban- non still bombarding the hoops the winners coasted on to victory. The floor playing of Andy Rozum and Red Brickel was a standout for the winners. Tunnel with 20 points and Ramon with IT stared for the win- ners while Lamberti with ' points was the losers best bet.

 CHOICE TO WIN
 TON|GHT'S TEST
Early Season 10 to l Shots Have Chance to
 Cop Stanley Cup

New York, April 6.-tUP)-The world series of professional ice hockey opens in Madison Square Garden tongiht when tic New York Rangers meet the Detroit Red Wings in the first game of the series for the Stanley Cup.
 The Rangers, who finished third in the seasons standings and who were 10 to l long shots against win- ming the trophy, are to 5 favor ties to win tonight from last years winners.
 The New Workers, a young team packed with first year men are rid- ing the crest of the most amazing winning streak the playoffs ever have seen. Just as in 1883 when they won the cup, the Rangers have smashed two teams in moving into the finals againstthe Wings who won the league title last week by taking the first place playoff from Montreal's Canadiens.
 Only the Rangers march this time is more glorious than 1t was in 1883. They have won four straight games, taking two from Toronto in winning the third-place playoff and two from the Montreal Maroons to capture the semi-final series.
 The Wings, who were forced to five games before eliminating Les Canadiens, are 8-5 favorites to re- tain the cup. That is because all remaining games will be in Detroit.
 On seasonal play, the Wings hold the edge, having won six games, been tied once and defeated once by the Rangers.
 The Wings will enter tonight's battle slightly crippled. Larry Aurie, their star forward, suffering an in- jured leg, will not play any more hockey this season. Goalie Norm Smith injured his arm in the Canadien series and is not expect ed to be able to play the type of game that made him the best net hinder on the circuit this year.
