It was this speech that Diana caught a* she emerged from the house with Alex. Even Marjorle's laugh of raillery ??mild not dispel the quick stab of joy that went through her. She kn*w beyond doubt that Dale was thinking of that moment in the drawing room the afternoon before when she had confessed her love for him. She caught Alex's arm. "Don't let them see us. or they may Join us." Delighted at her evidenced de sire to be alone with him, younc Leigh steered her quickly away through the darkness. Once in the shelter of the arbor, he caught her in his arms "My darling! My wife!" he whispered, bending to kiss her. For the fraction of an instant Diana shrank:?then she lifted her Hps obediently. But as his touched hers, she had a blinding memory of Stephen Dale's kisses, of the strength of his arms and the wild ecstasy that had swept through her. Not even marriage could take from her the solace of that perfect memory. Young Leigh was rambling on happlTy about their future plans, still holding Diana In the curve of his arm. "I'll get Uncle Art to arrange a transfer to whatever post you pick out.

G Judge &rotPn Sfiori/\falk &y Judge IPt'Ilis &ron?n SKIDDING I saw an automobile skid the other day. The driver of the car had a straight road ahead of him and he was confident of his ability to drive the car. He knew the road he must take to reach his destination, consequently he was not giving the closest attention to the condition of the road. On passing a large building his companion commented on its beauty, the driver looked at the building, just as a street car bell clanged. Our driver put on the brakes suddenly and the car skidded. Some men were playing water trom the fire hose on the street, and the sudden stop on the wet pavement skidded the car. It hit the curb and broke an axle. The car was headed in an opposite direction with a broken axle because the driver took his eyes from the road ahead. When a car begins to skid, you never know what it will do what direction it will take, or where it will stop. No driver of a car want's it to skid. No driver makes a car skid. ? The reason for skidding is because of some other agency. Slippery mud, wet streets and oily roadways make cars skid. They seldom skid when the driver is giving close atten tion to the road and notes the condition which would induce a car to skid. If he discovers danger, he uses non-skid tires or chains, or both. Some boys drive along in splendid style. Parent*, teachers and employers are satisfied that the boy is on tjie right road and ia driving safely. Then^all of a sudden there is a check. "I don't know what is the matter with Joseph. Last year he was making such progress and thlTyear he is failing." This is what a mother told me. JOE SKIDDED. "I used Tom for three years and planned to advance him and keep him in our business. He had a good future with us, but in the past six months he is failing to do his work properly. I discovered he has some questio lable associates." This is what a business man said. TOM SKIDDED. "Oh, I started in to make a boat, but I didn't get it finished." William said this to me. "Could you have finished it and used it this past summer?" I inquired. "Sure, but I monkeyed around too much," was the reply. WILLIAM SKIDDED. Theae boys, like the driver of the automobile, took their eyes and thoughts from the ROAD AHEAD, and something hap pened when they looked away, and they SKIDDED. ARE YOU SKIDDING?

If your football teams happen to lack a scrub squad ' with which to practice try this stunt that has been worked success fully by any number of teams in the same situation. Divide the team into two irroups. Make the division in such a way that as many men a* possible are playing opposite positions they would play against were they up against a r?al scrub team. That is. ar range the line-up of each group so that the tackles are In one and the man who U to carry the ball is In the other, and so on. The Idea, as you no doubt un derstand. is to give each man the same practice in his posi tion that he would get if he . were playing in an eleven-man "ne-up against another full team^ Very Practical.

Seout Leaders' Training Class Holds Meeting The training class for Scout leaders opened in the Chamber of Commerce rooiris last Wed nesday evening with a larger at tendance than In any previous year the course has been con ducted. Senator Seldon P. Spen cer in his address emphasized three essentials for the boy or the man. if he is to experience real success; namely: education, perseverance and religion; and urged Scoutmasters to promote the development of these ideals in the lives of the boys with whom they have to do. He said that many a boy and man, "with hiB face in the right -direction, stops Just short of success; like the historic wanderers on Mount Washington, to whom a monu ment has been erected, who per ished In a blizzard within 300 yards of the door of the inn they were seeking. They were lost through lack of perseverance. They were headed right, but gave up just too soon. Hon. Huston Thompson, presi dent of the District of Columbia Boy Scout Council, pointed out some of the fundamental objec tives of the Scout Movement, and complimented the men present on being engaged dlrectlx in the biggest work for boys tne cen turies have .produced; with the opportunity of modifying by great improvements the civilisa tion of tomorrow. The Scout does his good turn without ac cepting the tlave - producing "tip;" and If that uplrlt can be made the spirit of the nation, commercial bribery must cease.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER, 35, i?i. \ Astrologers read this as an un certain day. Although the Sun is In beneflc sway. .Venus, Jupttar an>i Uranus are all adverse. This Is a day in which to pre pare for large activities, while pur suing routine business. During this configuration efforts to secure capital or the recognition of men in high place ahould be successful. There -Is an encouraging sign for obtaining the aid of persons who wield financial or political influ ence. It Is a lucky day for seeking em ployment and should be auspicious for those who desire promotloas or Increase In salary. Women are under a sinister ano menacing planetary rule today and should not try to push any of their affairs, whether they be social or professional. . . , Theaters may feel the inimical power of the stars which seem to irdlcate bad business. Uranus Is in a place that encour aged criticism and this may cause domestic unhapplness as well as professional heartaches.
