If we had our lives to live over again, the end of the road would find us where we are now. | It is futile to talk of how we'd profit by what we have learned, | for-that is dealing with the impossible. Turning the clock | Back and restoring our youth would not give us clairvoyant power of peering into the future. “If Twas n ork | { : Many roads are cpen to us in youth. But as we get older| we settle into one rut. At 35 the average man has a fairly glear idea of what he is going to do for the r of his earth- ty days. . By the time we reach 50, we begin realizing that our careers are the result of two things—an expression of our real selves and, secondly, circumstances over which we have no control. . If we could live our lives over again, it is reasonably plausible that our real selves would not express themselves differently, and that the outside circumstances would be as far beyond our control as ever. O. Henry wrote a philosophical story along this line. He} called it “Roads of Destiny.” A young man, striking out into the world, came to a triple fork in the rog The story showed what happened after he took the first fork, then the second, finally the third. On each road he led a different life. But the wind-up of his career was the same, on all three! Foads. = All this, of course, is along the lines of oriental fatalism, the idea that we are puppets, creatures of chance. Many will claim that they do not believe in fatalism— and a mo- ment later be lamenting their “bad luck” or rejoicing at their “good luck.” y If you believe in luck « tall, you are a fatalist. . Late in life, the average person realizes how short. life is, that it is merely a between-stations trip on the journe’ through eternity. And the average person goes oul of this life with the impression that earthly existence is a training school, a sort of spiritual gymnasium. we make does not matter so much. Bifeisa s accordingly as we benefit our spir- itual natures by our earthly experience. Is life improving you? If it is, you are fulfilling your destiny. - MONEY Looking into the future to the next business depressi eccnomists are redoubling their efforts to find a way to s hilize buying power of the dollar. Herbert Hoover is especi- ally interested. . Most of the suggestions for stabilization have to do with fold manipulation — regulating the amount of gold back of vach dollar. * If you could come back to the United States a couple of thousand years from now, you'd find the gold tem junked and money based on units of human energy: bricklayer, for instance, exchanging an hour’s work for an equivalent | value of some one else’s production. That could eliminate | the profits system, permit 50-50 exchange. DROP _ Only about 50 million dollars worth of gold will be mined in America this year, or less than 50 cents worth for every man, woman and child. It’s a paradox, that gold—the center | of gravity of our whole system of economics industrial- ly in a worse slump that any important branch of business. : Three-fourths of the nation’s gold mines are shut down. | The reason: power.of gold to such an extent that many mines cannot be worked profitably. | As a matter of common sense, our money system could more logically be based on flivvers, bricks or movie tickets. | Gold is the last of the ancient superstitions to yield ground. wt BIRD Our army has a new airplane that weighs 20 tons. It’s’ almost beyond average imagination, to conceive of a weight like that traveling through the air without falling. Father would have been confined in the lunatic asylum if he had | predicted such a thing 35 years ago. “This giant steel plane measures 120 feet between wing ! tips. It carries 2000 gallons of gasoline and is designed for a speed of 90 miles an hour. Our future roads will be in the air,.and don’t ever doubt that flying will be as safe as the relatively slow auto. GOLD ‘<3Gold production in our country has been cut in two since} 1915. This doesn’t worry you, though you’d sit up and take notice if any basic industry such as steel had a similar drop. And yet gold is the basis of all our industry, in the sense | that we measure all material things in terms of gold. - It doesn’t really make much difference how much gold isproduced, for the value of gold is nine-tenths imaginary | —hypnotic. Gold is the original Coue. te f * SUICIDE 4nvention is the most interesting ramification of the hu- man intellect —and sometimes the most startling.

When I came round there was nothing to be seen.” “The point is then: did Assunta see him also?” “That was ‘the first thing I found out. I hoped she had not. That would have saved the situation in a way and proved it was only some picture of the mind. But she saw him clearly enough. She heard him, too. When I cried out he leaped away into the woods.” Mr. Redmayne lighted a cigar which he took from a box on a little table by the open hearth. He drew several deep breaths before he spoke again, “This is a very disquieting cir- cumstance and I greatly wish it had not happened,” he said. ““Thert may be no cause for alarm; but, on the other hand, when we consider ihe disappearance of my brother Ben- digo, I have a right 0 feel fear.” “You must not stop here tonight,” “You must cross to Bel lagio and stay with Signor Pogyi until we know more.” “We shall sce as to that.

He has a pro- ject.” Albert spoke again, “Tonight I go across the water to Bellagio and you come with me. It is impossible that Robert should know we are there,” Jenny wrote the letters and posted them; then she packed for her uncle and herself, A boatman quickly rowed them to the landing ‘stage of Bellagio and they soon reached the dwelling of Albert's friend, who welcomed ther with an equal measure of surprise and delight.

On sending in his name“% mesenger boy bade Brendon follow to the smoking room. His first glance, however, failed to indicate the great man. The smoking room was nearly empty on this June morning and Mark observ, ed nobody but a young soldier, writ’ ing letters, and a white-haire somewhat corpulent gentleman sit. ting with his back to the light r ing the Times, He was clean sh: ed, with a heavy face modeled to suggest a rhinoc were large; the nose swollen : little veined with purple, the e hidden behind owl-like — spects with tortoise-shell_ rims, and os.

Brendon extended his where, but the messenger stopped, turped, and departed, while the stout man rose, revealing a massive frame, wide shoulders, and sturdy legs. “Glad to meet you, Mr. Brendon,” he said in a genial voice then he shook hands, took off hi spectacles, and sat down again, “This is a pleasure I had meant to give myself before I quitted the city,” declared the big man, “I’ve heard about you and I've taken off my hat to you more than once dur- ing the war. You might know me, too.” \ “Everybody in our business knows you, Mr. Ganns. But I've not come heroworshiping to waste your tit.

You'll find we can do so. Then telegraph to this dame that we start a week hence, You take me?” “You want to get there before we're expected ?” “Exactly.” He took another pinch of oath and picked up the Times. “Will you lunch with me here in the grill- room at two o'clock?” “With pleasure, Mr. Ganns.” Some hours later they met again and over a steak and green peas Brendon reported train left Victoria at eleven and the Rapide would start from Paris on the following morning at half Past six, “We reach Bevano, some time af- ter noon next day,”. he said, “and can either go on to Milan and then come back to Como and travel by boat to Menaggio, where Mr. Red- mayne lives, or else leave the train at Bevano, take steamer on Mag- ‘ore, cross to.
