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.
His death before the age of five,
should warn parents not to drive
talented children. r — .

Swimming it an ideal method
bringing every body muscle Into
ue^ Aa a nerve inrlgorater, e»
erdss in water with the
of olothlng on, eetdaaaaa the
medicine bottle a thousand to one
However, moat good things have
perils lurking beneath their fanift
ing exteriors.
The danger of drowning today la
practically nil, so wise axe the pro*
cautions taken; bat the nun od
fifty or more, who cherishes a
forty-eight inch waist-band^ and
who innocently carries a deceptive
heart-lesion, may start something
impossible to stop by taking the
sudden, .violent plungq. 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

DEGIN HERE TODAY
JOHN w.. BROOKE. kaHirnre'
miiRaatc ana widower, hires nn
elllclencr engineer to take
charge of hi* household for a
period of two months which he
expects to spead swap from
home. He falls to Inform hla
children. Constance, William
4and Alice, abont hla plans.
H. HEDGE, assigned to the
>1 fob; breaks the news to William
l • and hla slaters. He takes Im
mediate charge and Inferms all
concerned that he means bus
laess. Constance calls her
father's attorneys bnt la assared
that Hedge la bens Me. 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. It'* the loose-leaf system, of
course.**
Just why It was “of course" Con
stance did not know; she was not fa
miliar with loose-leaf systems.
**1 have here/* he continued. Indi
cating, “a set of daily report cards,
la fact, two sets.. The set for the
servants te buff-colored, that for
members of the family white. 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

again.

Constanco stiffened In her chair."
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. Miss Brooke ”j
She stood trembling, in spite of an
effort to steady herself against the
desk _ For an instant her voice failed
her. __ ___
“I tell you. I will not hear it! I
will not endure this thing in my
own home. My father would not
have me endure it. You tell me that
