Your.g Krishnamurti from India has arrived and comes to free us from our “materialism.” He will be as welcome as Hercules in the Augean stables. This earnest, sincere youth k among other things, an excellent horseman, a good sportsman, and was an infant prodigy. He was carried each night to a tent in hia sleep. As he dreamt, go hia friends say, “the Master?’ ap peared and gave him instructions. At the age of twelve, he wrote his book, “At the Feet of the Master.” That does not necessarily mean Divine inspiration. Consider lit tle Christian Ucrniich Heinecken, who died in 172o, “before he was five years of age.” He was able to converse plainly at Un months. When one year old, he knew by heart the most important parts of the Pentateuch. At two years of age he had mastered sacred Hik tory, at three he was thoroughly acquainted with history and geog raphy, ancient and modem, sacre 1 and profane, and spoke Fr >1 i and Latin. He devoted him '.7 \ 3 religious study in his fourf. >•. v, and to church history. And th. ; is no “yam” but historical fat..;. Crowds fiocked to Lubeck to see him, and a year before he died he was taken to sea the King of Denmark at Copenhagen.

The corp ulent figure is neither safe nor artistic in the “high dive.’* The man over fifty had better refrain from aquatic feats that make his heart “thump”. Swimming-races are dangerous when attempted by amateurs. I saw recently a young man of per fect build, swim across a small lake to beat a record; the contor tions of his heart immediately after, and which lasted an hour or more, were enough to alarm an ex perienced cardiologist. Swimming is one of the pleas ures which should never be over done. And, a full stomach is bad company to have along, when doing ■ fancy strokes, particularly if you are a “tired business man” unac-1 customer to athletic feats in water. But moderate exercise in the realm of our finny brethren, when the temperature is right, is' one gF the very best agencies for calculation, muscle and nerve. i - • G i • Next Week:— ~ - !

She-la told that communication with her father la forbidden except <a a matter of life or death. Hedge, In the presence of Con stance, asks William his age aad occupation. William admits 20 years bat no oeeapatlon. Con stance attempts to explain. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ** H lr,ea tne hardware bus * ,Xl In ess with father.” said Constance defensively. "but —well, he wasn’t suited for It.** If Billy was suffering from a cer tain amount of superficial discom fort. his sister was suffering shame. She dropped her gaze for a moment and compressed her lips tightly. "All right;’ I’ll find him something to do.”v Blliy straightened up In his chair and thrust out his chin. “Is that so?” he said In flno con tempt. “I didn’t read anything in the orders about that ” i "You were charged by your father to obey me, weren't you?” “Oh—perhaps.” “And if your father were' here, and ho ordered you to go to work, you would, wouldn’t you?” “That’s different.” "Not one bit different, - For all necessary purposes. I’m your father. And I consider It necessary for you to work. That settles that.” The efficiency man said these awful words without any display of heat, which ma&e them seem the more awful. They fell upon Billy like an icy avalanche. And Constance, hate ful as this strange man was to her and filled with a resolve never to submit to his bidding, was somehow unable to fling herself to the aid of her brother. He was on treacherous . ground, unable to fight a good fight. "Ever keep books or card indexes?” asked Hedge. Billy shook his head. i can teacn you. trver run a typewriter?” “No!” 1 _ "You’ll learn—In time. What can you do anyhow?” “He—he can run an automobile.** said Constance hastily. She was not particularly proud of the answer, after It was out; she was afraid it was not impressive. But it was true. Billy could run an auto* mobile- wonderfully. He had been ar rested eight times and bis license had been revoked twice. _ "Good idea; guess I will, Connie.** The expert driver got out of hts leather chair and moved toward the door. __ “Very well; run your automobile —today,” said the efficiency man sig nificantly. "But don’t forget when you come back that you’re my clerk." “Clerk!” “You’re getting it. Good morning.” Billy paused long enough to think of a reply—long enough, yet without achieving one. Instead, ho asked o question. ”1 say, Cohnle, lend me a ten-spot, will you?” ’’Sorry, Billy; I’m broke.”* H. Hedge did not volunteer either • a ten-spot or a nickel, and Billy stalked from the room. Two minutes later a yellow roadster buzzed out of the Brooke courtyard. It was the kind of roadster that Is unnecessarily and unbelievably closo to the ground, like a dachshund. It had wire , wheels, a throaty exhaust, and in order to drive it you had to lie on your back. Billy was great at that. "While I have the matter in mind." said H. Hedge, addressing Canstanco "tell mo how far it is to Alices school." “Six or seven blocks." answered Constance carelessly. "I Imagined it was something like that. Hereafter. Alice will walk to school. It Is good exercise, and the fresh air will clear her mind for her studies." Constance was about to retort hot- j ly when, with a gesture, ho abrupt ly dsimissed the subject. "Here," ho said, placing his hand upon a small pile of flat volumes, “is a set of books. Until your brother Is familiar with the wo»*k. I’ll take care of them They are book-keep ing books. A complete set of house hold accounts will be kept, with a separato account for each depart “You expect me to make out one of these cards everu dayp r ment.

On these cards will be reported dally all matters of concern to the household) Servants win report as to what du ties they have performed during the day. In what manner, et cetera, as wen as what things have been left unperformed. In this way we shall soon systematize the work and estab lish a proper schedule of hours.** Constance smiled faintly. There was a vision In her mind of Giovan ni, tv>e furnace man, making out his j report. _ _ y I ( “The report cards for the family j will contain brief memoranda of what each member has done during J the day, a statement of conduct, of ! persona] expenses, et cetora, together ] with any suggestions for the im provement of conditions or criticisms I of the work of employes.” "You mean to say,” asked Con stance slowly, "that you expect ua— me—to make out one of these cards —every day?" "Certainly. You will see the'ad ' . !i! * V w*nnwtnMiBHnDnim!tr:i,:.:air''r:T vantage of It later.” Const unco relapsed Into c'.'in j again. “I have hero,” he r • *• •. antly, “a tllinj; case nivi nr i : system.

Not that she cared—but the question was offensivo. "Why—I—you—” "About twenty?” he suggested, studying her critically. "You happen to be correct,’* sho answered in a frozen tone. To her horror the efficiency man reached a blank card from a small pile. M was neatly ruled In blue, with black printing on it and numer ous whito spaces Thcro was a round hole punched at the bottom II. Hedge picked up a pen, dipped' It. and began to write. Although the card was upside down to her. she could easily read the legible char acters that he set down in one of the 1 spaces. He had written "C. Brooke.-* Then came another lino "Age—20.’* He paused and looked up. “Ever work?** Constance stood up and leaned for ward He did not seem to be aware of anything unusual In her de meanor After pausing briefly for an answer he wrote down in a white spaco “No occupation." , “Unmarried. I suppose?" he asked ] “You unthinkable wretch!" “Hardly an answer to my ques-; tlon.-* he suggested pleasantly. Constanoo had ploced both hands on the desk to steady herself and looked down at him. There was room for nothing but rage in her line gray eyea "The servants will throw you out.” she said In a shaking voice “If ttioy attempt it. I will dis charge the servants I should regret to be compelled to do that ** •’You—you— Oh. this is all so hor j rible! It s not true’ It can t be!” "But It s quite true.
