Under this direction of the stars deception may be easily practiced. it is believed, and for this reason the utmost caution in business should be exer- cised. Again storms at sea are foretold and it is wise to avoid ocean journeys. This is not an auspicious rule for promoting any sort of project. These who have political axes to grind should delay effort. It is well to guard the material pos- sessions as well as the thought processes at this time. While thieves will steal, wrong ideas will be disseminated and much foolish prejudice will be harbored by persons of all classes, astrologers predict.

Something in his face aroused her curiosity. “What's the news?" she asked. “Who's the letter from, any way?"” “Oh, nobody in particular.,” he an- swered lightly, tossing the letter to the table. Edith made a quick move, cov- | ered it with her hand, and, looking up at him, laughingly cried: “No, you don't get away with it like that. I want to know what's in the letter. If _\'nlL; won't tell me I'll find out for my- Dave stared. a sort of angry surprise flickering across his face. “Don't be silly,” he begged. “That's my letter. T've told you there's nothing in it.” But FEdith already had the letter {open. “From Laura?” she gave him a | hard. bright smile. “And who's Laura, | | | | | Laura’s my sister.” Dave's mouth set grimly. Edith gave an embarrassed laugh, replaced the letter, and vainly | endcavored to drive the memory of the Incident out of Dave's mind with some flippant chatter. But Dave wasn't taking any. He was hinking hard. Edith had pulled a ®ad bone—a very bad bone. | She had made the mistake which { many an unthinking young sweetheart jor wife makes with such disastrous | results. The act of intruding on the private affairs of another is inexcusable. No matter how closely related a man and woman may be, neither of them has the right to interfere with the other's personal privacy. And a letter is a private affair—very | private. There's something about a let- | ter—its very appearance, its sealed mystery—which makes it only the re- cipient’s private business. | Even the best friend or the dearest | sweetheart has no right to tear it open, | | to_demand to see its contents. | Ridiculous for Edith to protest as she | did—that it was because she felt such a close tie between them that she had | no compunction about invading his| pn\‘lnrcy. STt e |t whether you get the letter or I'm the recipient? It belongs to both of us. It's the property of each.” But that sort of.twaddle went out| with the Victorian era. { The urge for personal liberty has | gone too far to permit any such medie- val nonsense. Successful marriages are based on mutual respect. And mutual respect involves a certain amount of personal | privacy on each side. The girl who attempts to shatter that personal privacy goes a long way toward undermining her happy mar- riage. Remember that when the temptation assails you to butt into your man's most private affairs.

If he could find out ex- actly the right time to begin everything and exactly the right people to listen to and, most imporiant of all, precisely what was the most important thing to do at any moment, he might always be sure of success in whatever he under- took. Having had this happy thought, the king proclaimed that he would pay a colossal reward to any wise man who could tell him these three things. And wise men from all over the world came to advise the king, but no two had the same advice to give. Some sald that to know the right time for everything a schedule should be made up for years and followed ex- actly. Others said that idle pastimes should be avoided and only what was most necessary should be considered the right action for the right moment. ‘And so it went, not only for the first question but for the second and third questions as well—the answers were all as varied and different as could be. There was no way whatever of telling which answers were the right oncs. All the answers being different, the king agreed with none of the sages and gave no one the reward. But, still scek- ing the right answers, he set out to con- sult a hermit who was widely renowned for his sagacity. The hermit lived alone in a wood and could not be induced to leave it. The king also knew that this hermit re- ceived only common people, so he had to disguise himself in simple clothes and seek the hermit's hut alone. As the king approached, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. Seeing the stranger—not knowing he was the king—he greeted him ani [ went on with his digging. The hermit was getting old, and every time he stuc' his spade into the ground it made him breathe heavily, he was so weak. The king went up to him and said: “Wise hermit. I have come to you to ask three questions. First, how can I know how to do the right thing at the right time? Second. how can I tell who the people are whom I need most? And third. how is it possible to decide what is the most important thing of all at any time?” N The hermit listened gravely, then spat on his hands and went on with his digging. “You are tired.” said the king. “Let you.” * “Many thanks,” said the hermit. He gave the king his spade and sat down on the ground. When he had dug awhile. the king stopped and repeated his questions. The hermit still gave no answer to any of | them, but stood up, reached for the . and said: spad work a bit.” But the king did not give the hermit his spade. Instead, he continued to dig. One hour passed. Then another hour passed. The sun began to sink behind stuck the spade into the ground and said: “I came to you, wise man, for an an- swer to my three questions. If you can- not help me, please say so, and I will depart.” Just then some one came running.

It was former- | he also at that time the mos* important was a bearded man; he held his hands pressed against his stomach, and blood was flowing redly between his fingers. ‘The king and the hermit hastily loos- ened the wounded man's clothing. There was & large gash in the abdo- men. The king washed the wound as best he could and bandaged it with his hand- kerchief and one of the hermit’s towels. The blood kept flowing, however, and the king again washed and bandaged the wound. When the blood did stop, the man revived and wanted something to quench his thirst. The king brought fresh water and gave it to him. Meanwhile the sun had set and the air was cool. So the king, with the hermit's help, carried the man into the hut and put him on a cot. The king, being unusually tired, also lay down in the hut, and. falling asleep, slept through the Summer night. ‘When the king awoke he saw the bearded man looking at him. For a moment the king hardly remembered where he was. “Forgive me!" man. “Why I?" asked the kind. “I do not know you.” “But I know you,” said the man. “I am that enemy of yours who swore re- venge because you executed my brother and seized his property. I learned you had gone alone to the hermit, and I resolved to kill you on your return. But, unwarily stepping out of my am- bush, your guard, who were waiting for me, recognized me and wounded me I escaped, but I should have died had you not dressed my wound.

The king was glad to make peace with “n dangerous an enemy so easily and to have gained a friend besides. He not only forgave him but promised to send medical aid. The king then sought the hermit to | repeat his three questions. Finding the wise old man, he again asked him the three questions for which he so ear- nestly sought the answers “You have already been answernrd!" said the hermit. cried the wounded “How answered? What do you mean?” asked the king. “L said the hermit. “If you had not taken pity on my poor strength yesterday and had not dug those holes for me, but had gone on your way, that man would have attacied you. “Therefore, the most impor.an: time was when vou were helping me to dig. and at that moment 1 vas the most fmportant man. and to help me was at that time the most important thing for | you to be doing.

These passages from the seventy- first psalm reflect the spirit that char- acterized him in his advanced years. His way through life had not been easy. While he had enjoyed many of the good things of life. he had also suf- fered many misfortunes and hardships. His had been a checkered career. Through it all God had been his trust and stay.

He de- sires above all that he may be able in his latter days to bear a testimony to the greatness of God's strength and power that will be an inspiration and benediction to the younger generation and generations to follow. Let not those who have grown old and gray feel that their usefulness is ended. Let the example of the psalm- ist be followed and old age can be lm“ade the most useful period of one's e.
