He- was methodical in his habits. On a certain day of each month ha stayed away from (he office, and everybody in his employ knew that the old man was \thinking\ From breakfast time until sun-down on such a day he would sit before «{h ppep fire or on an open porch, without pen or pencil or paper, or records or reports, and quitely think. He attributed his modest success to this unvarying habit. Henry Ford remarked to me once that \thinking is the hardest job there is\ and added that he could get plenty of doers but not enough thinkers. Most of us know from our own limited experience that thinking is hard, and we have insulated ourselves against it by a restless and noisy environment We are afraid tn be found in a small audience, terribly afraid to be alone Our unwillingness to take trips, or to retire, is not dictated so much by loyalty to the job as it is by the hauntmg fear that, removed from the protecting clatter of daily activity, we shall have \too much time to think\. Emerson tells the story of \a man who on his death-bed called to him his profligate son and left him large possessions, only exacting of him the promise to spend an hour every day alone The son kept hi? word and became a wise and good man \ Tn another passage F.merson remarks that \the gods and the wild heasts are both fond of solitude. thought makes the difference between the solitude of the god and that of the lion \ Solitude and thought are responsible for the considerable fortune of the young fnend whom I quoted at the beginning.

She wiped her eyes and tried to smile \It's all right—please go now— 1 She averted her eyes. \Please go now, and please never come back again.\ It was what Chittenham had wanted her to say. with all a man's dislike of scenes and suffering, he had hoped that she would refuse to listen to him and send him away, but now that she had done so, he knew it was not what he had wanted, after all. He had wanted her to keep him against his better judgment, be had clung to the belief tliat she would trj to keep him from 'sadie. for whom he had no feeling but the merest pity— a pity that was not and never coiild be, akin to love. With Julie sobbing in his arms it had seemed impossible ever to let her go—he loved her so much—no woman had ever before stirred his heart and his imagination—no woman ever would. If they never met again it would be .the samr always she was his, they were made for each other He thought of his wife a« she had been when he left her an hour ago, frantic with fear, crying and sobbing it made him shudder to remember tne way *he had chins to him. begging him not to leave her \After all. you're my husband, and I've got nobody eUe in the world. I know I haven't been as nice to you as I might have been, but don't leave me now I'm blind, don't leave me. Giles. Oh, my God, what will become of me?\ The pathos of her was heart-break ing Sadie, who had always been so independent, so free, to be clinging to him like this, imploring him not to leave her. She was his wife, he was pledged to her by honor And yet now that Julie had told him to go— lie broke out passionately \How can you think of marrying Schofield? What happiness would it be for you if you\ rion't love him—\ \I don't expect to be happy.\ Julie laughed shaken!y. \Anyway it can-1 about; not matter to you any longer.

She went to the 'phone and callci his number, but it was only after a long time that the hotel people amid give her any news of him. He was out at the moment, they said, but he was certainly returning that night. There was a little pause—then \Mr Schofield is leaving London early to-morrow morning\ \Leaving—\ Julie felt as if her last anchor had been torn from her—the waves of mis ery and utter loneliness seemed to beat up afresh all round her The vbice at the other end of the 'phone asked politely if a message could be taken. \No—oh no, thank you.\ Julie hung up the receiver and turned away. Lawrence was leaving London, leaving her! —she was seized with exaggerated panic What was: to become of her? ^ Even Bim wa< weary of her, there was no place fof her in the world. But Lawrence had loved her, must surely still love hers She remembered the despair I.I hit eyes when she told him she would niH marry him. If she could only see him for a mo< ment she was confident that every* thing would be alt right—to see him just to see him 1 She felt like a chil. left alone in the dark, straining ever; nerve to get to the one person whe can take away dread and the desolate sense of loneliness. She took off her loose gown and dressed again with shaking fingers, she was still very cold, but her fac< and head felt burning She would put herself beyond Chit' tenham's reach, to-morrow when hi came he should find it to late If Lawrence would take her av.aj to-night she would go with him. Sh was tired of hoping for things tha never came true, afraid of a love tha brought with it only pain. She wen out into the wet, chilly night and tern! a taxi. She drove straight to the hotel where Uawrence was staying. Not he was not in yet, and they could not say at what hour he would be re turning. It was past nine then. 'Til wait a little while and sec U Mr Schofield returns,\ Juiie said.

BILLBOARDS The war agafnst defacing the scen- er> and endangering the lives of high way travellers by advertising bill boards is gaining new recruits daily. The latest is the Fox Film Company, which has announced its abandonment iof billboard advertising in favor of >»cwipa.perj. Newspapers are better advertising media, the Fox people say, and of that there is no possible ques tion. If there were no other argue- iment against billboards, that should be enough. Safety on the highways depends upon every driver keeping hit eyes on the road. There should be no sign boards by the roadside, except those which call attention to the wares of the roadside retailer on the spot direc tion markers and signs established by the highway authorities to indicate the condition of the road ahead. * * * \SPPRT» Two-thirds of what passes for ''sport\ in the United States is pare commercialism, ^ Some of the, inside of the \beating •fUMt\;. wa* -revealed jthe other- when /a' '.fight, promoter bued Gene Tunney' for.-half a million dollars, claimed-as commission for atv decided against (he claim, but i n the (uurse of the testimony the whole busi ness of prize-light promotion was'ex posed as the mone> -making scheme Which it is.

The problem of mating wisely is the inc I uincult one which the young iru .i . yuung woman faces, ind the one in which he or she usually has had less help from parents than ir. any other uf the problems of real life Three-quarters, at least, of all the marital difficulties which have brought the divorce rate up so high in this country, arise from tlie fact i!iat young folks have had no iustrcLiiun at all as to the qualities in the other sex winch make for married haj>pi- ncas.

Not all of the money uill he spent for Christmas presents. Some will go. into permanent savings and invest ments, tome to pay off debts incurred during the year, some for other pur poses. About a third will be sperir for gifts; but alt of the six hum! rd million'' will change hands, and it is money changing hands that makes business good. The faster it changes hands, the better business is. The stimulus of, this, immense, sum starting to circulate again should go a long\ way toward restoring pros- . perity.
