Flushing Bound, Madge Hoped She Was Unobserved I do not think I ever slept so soundiy as I did in the hostelry at Riverside, following our drive through the fog. 1 did not realize how the strain of being at the wheel had r"l tigued me until 1 literally fell into bed without knowing whether my *“head touched the pillow” or not. | We had been fortunate enough to secure communicating rooms, the; one which the children occupied ly-| ing between mine and that of the| Braithwaites. But whether the chil- | dren slept or were restless mat- | tered nothing to me. 1 lay drugged | with slumber until the grasp of a hand on my shoulder, gently shak- ing me, brought me bolt upright in unreasoniug panic. “Hush !” Harrlet said smiling at me. “Don't wake the children yet. But Edwin said you wished to start as carly as possible, so I thiught I'd rouse you." “Thank you,” I stammered. “I be- lieve 1 would have slept until noon if you_ hadn’t .wakened me.” “You probably needed to co that| very thing,” she replied compussion-‘ ately, “bul A | “Oh! we must get starled right away,” 1 said, scrambling out of bed.

Taking the Shortest Way “This road is neither so good nor s0 picturesq as the north side route,” I explained regretfully, “but it is a much shorter connection to the Flushing road. 1 should have liked to have shown you some of the picturesque towns of the north side, but we shall come out at Huntington, and from there on the road winds through fairyland a good deal of the way." “Oh, what do we care for scenery!” Harriet exclaimed impatientl know that I for one won't I minute to think of it.

But T rejected that she was under even a greater strain than I, and I resolved that no matter what the provocation I would keep my poise undisturbed. But despite her protests, 1 was amused to discover that she was not proof against the austere beauty of the winter woods silhouetted against water and sky when after a trip through the dreary, baked desert of the middle island we came out upon the stretches of the north shore roads between Huntington and Flushing.

The weakening body calls for a lessening brain power, as his physical condition worrics him to the extent of cerebral inactivity to make provisions for sickness and old | Fear scizes him and as a result he becomes unable to put forth the men- tal or physical cffort which counts, He | is in the grip of fear that para s| because it offers no avenue of escape Then there is the penaity of losing one's position in life. A man who is weak, fussy or worried, lacks stami- na to hold his place in business or so- ciety, He caunot resist fatigue, he falters, he lacks courage and per- sistency, The resuit is fallure, through habits and careless living.
