And so, in the strife of the battle of
life,
It’s easy to fight when your’e win

It’s easy to slave, and starve, and be
brave,
When the dawn of success is begin

But the man who can meet despair
and defeat
With a cheer, there’s the man God’s
choosing,
The man who can fight to heaven s
own height
Is the man who fights when he’s
losing.

NOVEL USE FOR GRAMOPHONE
(S>. 1022, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
Daphne Joselyn ran upstairs, threw
herself on a bed and buried her face
In u pillow. She wanted to cry, but
didn’t because crying made .her nose
red and her eyes look washed out, and
for her husband’s sake she wanted to
look pretty. That was the whole
trouble she wanted to look pretty and
retain her husband’s love, but, Instead,
she grew larger and less attractive
every day, while Reggie's love seemed
to diminish accordingly.
She had tried many ways to get
thin. She had fasted, dieted, exercised
—everything, but each new experiment
only increased her weight. With her
light hair, blue eyes, and fair skin, she
wasn’t homely, but she was large, and
Reggie had said, when she was young
er and more slender, that he disliked
fat women. Now he seldom stayed
at home in the evening, and people
said he was interested in a cute little
brunette at his office.
That morning she had received a
pamphlet which said that the only
way to keep a husband’s love was to
cultivate charm. By practicing before
the mirror, she had attained what aha
thought was a perfectly Irresistible
smile. Then she had added a glide to
her walk to make her seem graceful,
and prepared to conquer her husband
by charm. As she glided through the
doorway with the Irresistible smile on
her face, Reggie had stared at her In
•Hence. She thought It was the silence
of admiration, but finally he gained
his voice and exploded: “Are you
playing you’re a fairy, Daphne, or
■hall I call a doctor?” Rushing from
the room, she had thrown herself bn
the bed in a fit of despair.
It was of no use. She was undeni
ably fat, and Reggie thought thot she
was crazy when she tried to please
him. When she had followed the ad
vice of an “adviser to the lovelorn,”
and tried sitting on his lap and put
ting her anus around his neck, he
had thrust her from him and laughed.
“Do you want to break my knees,
Daph? That was all right when you
were slim, but you’re for from that
now, girlie.”
She remembered the day he had
caught her “getting thin to music.”
How he had laughed and teased hers
But If he would only love her ns he
used to, she wouldn’t mind anything.
He was unkind to her, hut she stiU
loved him with all her heart.
The next morning she did not get
up In time to see Reggie, because she
didn't want him to be annoyed by her
presence. She would keep away from
him If that was what he wanted.
During the afternoon ns she was
reading nn article on the “art of keep
ing thin,” her mother, Mrs. Price,
came Into the room.
“Hello, Daphne, child,” she greeted
her, “bow are you and Reggie getting
along? I just spw him at the office,
and lie said to tell you to expect hku
for dinner.”
“It’s a wonder,” Daphne sighed, “he
Isn't at home much now.”
“Well, you’ll have one more tonight,
i’ll stay. It's raining, and I don’t
want to got wot. What are you going
to have for dinner?"
“Oh, 1 have some cold meat and it
fruit salad, and I’ll get something to
drink, and we'll have a light dessert.”
“Daphne Joselyn, do you mean to
tell me that you feed your husband
In that way? Why, after a man has
worked all day, he wants something
substantial, not salads and drinks and
light desserts. No wonder the poor
man ents away from home.”
“But I have to, mother, to keep
from growing fat."
“Well, there’s no need In starving a
man just because you want to get
thin. Daphne, I’m ashamed of you.
Instead of brooding over your size,
come down to the kitchen and we’ll
prepare a dinner that’s fit for a hun
gry man. and not one that would sat
isfy n bird.”
Two hours later the table was set
in readiness for a meal that would
warm the heart of any man. Daphne
had become interested in the work,
and surveyed the dining room with a
smile. Outside, a violent storm was
raging, and within nil looked cosy and
comfortable.
Suddenly the telephone rang, and an
agitated voice asked for Daphne’s
mother. When Mrs. Brice returned
she said: “I must gout once,.Daphne,
Mrs. Thompson’s twins are very sick,
and she wants me to come over, I hate
to leave this cosy place for the storm,
but It must be done. Take the pie
out of the oven In five minutes, and
beat your sauce now. Good-by, dear.”
Thirty minutes later Reggie came
In, dripping and worn out from the
battle with the storm, when he had
changed his clothes he entered the
dining room, 'stopping with surprise
as he noticed the daintily set table,
with its load of good things. Daphne
herself looked charming with her face
flushed prettily.
After Reggie had eaten as much as
possible he leaned back In his chair
and gazed at his wife with complete
satisfaction.
“Gee, Daph.” he said, "Pm glad jot
had this supper ready tonight. I ex
pected one of those cold meat affairs,
and this is a pleasant surprise. I was
almost tempted to go to a restaurant,
but I'll say that I'm glad I didn't
Home's the best place for a man, after
all, especially when he has it- pretty
wife to look at. 1 *
Daphne blossomed Into the picture
of happiness Incarnate. And this tima

Machine Can Be Used to Tell Fortunes
If One Is Tired of Listening
to Music.
You can have all kinds of fun with
a gramophone.
1 It can become, for example, a most '
amusing fortune-teller. Prepare a
cardboard disc, just the size of the
turn-table, with a hole In its center
; for the pin. This can be done by plac
ing a record on a sheet of cardboard,
j marking a pencil line round It, and
cutting out with a pair of scissors.
| Onto the disc paste a paper circle
j marked off round the edge into two
’ divisions about two inches wide, in
each of which have been written pre
dictions, humorous or otherwise. The
disc Is placed on the turn-table, and
a strip of cardboard about eight Inches
long and one inch wide Is prepared.
A hole rather larger than the dhidi
eter of the center pin is made at one
end.
This Is slipped over the pin, and
the other end Is bent down to form
a support for the slip so that It will
stand clear of the disc. An arrow
Is drawn upon it to act as a pointer.
Set the machine In motion and In
vite the company to consult the or
acle. They do this by pressing the
brake of the gramophone. The dlvls
Ion on the disc opposite which the
arrow on the fixed slip stops gives the
“fortune” of the victim.
ONE OF OLDEST TRADITIONS
Picturesque Legend of the Slaughter
of 81. Ursula and the Eleven
Thousand Virgins.
The legend of St. Ursula is one o
the most picturesque of ancient trad!
tlons. It relates that she was tin
daughter of the Briton. Theonotus, an*
was desired In marriage by a heathen
prince named Holofernes. She con
•ented on the condition that he become
a Christian, and allowed her three
years In which to make a pilgrimage.
He consented, and Ursula set out ac
companied by 11,000 virgins. They
Journeyed up the Rhine ns far as Basle
and thence, by foot, to Rome, where
they were joined, for their return
march, by the pope and a retinue of
clergy.
When they reached Cologne, on the
return trip, they were attacked by
horde of wild Htinnish barbarians, and
all were slain, although Attlla, the lead
er of the Huns, attempted to save the
life of Ursula that she might heroine
his wife. She fell, however, pierced
with an arrow, which has become her
attribute In pictorial representations.
As^oon as the massacre was over an-
t sla appeared. In number equal to the
aughtered virgins, and put the bar
barians to flight. Soon after a
church was erected among the graves
In honor of St. Ursula.
When Stephen Kendull's physician
ordered him away for a rest the office
staff hoped to Join in the cure. For
if the dominating Stephen had been
under a strain so had his long-suffer
ing associates.
Stephen was naturally a master. In
his mother’s home his word wus law,
and one maiden who had secretly
adored him dried her tears at his de
parture In unconscious relief.
Yet the big successful man had
many compensating attractions; his
manner ofttlmes us tenderly winning
as a child's.
The place designated by his physi
cian as possessing healing and dis
tracting power was an isolated coun
try of dangerous paths and unex
pected beauty. Tills doctor gave to
Stephen a letter of introduction to
old Gene De Bray, the mountain guide,
who, he was sure, would also take his
patient to board.
But when the long journey ended and
Stephen Kendall sought the substan
tial cottage In the wood it was, to his
displeased surprise, a young woman
who opened the door—a comely young
woman, undoubtedly, but he had
wished above all things to avoid the
sex exacting conventional attire and
manners.
Therefore Stephen frowned and
asked In his usual tone of disapproval:
“Does Gene De Bray live here, and
may I engage bis services as guide?
I would also like to secure board with
him If possible.”
The young woman calmly read
Stephen’s letter of introduction and
glanced up from Its perusal with a
considering smile.
“We may be able to take you for
Doctor Gray’s sake,” she conde
scendingly agreed. “My father being
unable to do so at present, I shall
have to act as your guide.”
“I Dm quite competent,’’ she an
swered his dissenting stare. “I have
roamed these hills since childhood. I
was born an’ rlz here.”
Stephen regarded the bright face
amnzedly, the girl’s tone, as her ap
pearance, was so out of keeping with
her primitive surroundings.
She It was, he found upon the fol
lowing morning, who had cooked their
delicious breakfast; she who, clad In
corduroy trousers, later awaited to
escort him over the hills.
Gene, a pleasing, shrewd old moun
taineer, waved to them as they started
with luncheon up the trail.
Forbiddingly, as usual, he accepted
the girl’s merry sallies, In silence re
ceived her descriptive Information of
the plcturusaue country.
Smilingly Indifferent she dropped
into song. When she had disregarded
for some time, his repeated “Miss De
Bray,” Stephen abruptly asked if that
was not her name.
“I am called so frequently Just
Marette,” the girl laughingly ex
plained, “that I almost forget the
other.” ,
“This spot will do then, Murette,”
he ordered peremptorily.
It was a delightful spot and Stephen
was quite out of breath, following his
swift and tireless guide. From the
page of his book be long and surrep
titiously regurded her. She wus ns In
teresting ns charming, this calmly su
perior woodland person. Stephen had
caught a resentful toss of her head at
his ordering. Her pretty head now
against the tree, she amused herself
imitating and answering the culls of
birds.
Then suddenly she turned on him a
volley of questions. “Where did he
come from, and how long did he in
tend to stay among them?”
“I like this spot,” he said at length,
decidedly. “Entertain yourself as you
choose, Marette. I shall remain until
evening.”
“I,” Marette quietly returned, “must
return home directly after luncheon."
“We will stay, as It pleases me,’ r
the master-man firmly replied. “You
have been engaged as my guide.”
Marette laid out his luncheon, across
the white cloth her dark eyes mocked
him.
“Directly I have eaten,” she repeat'
ed, “I must go.”
8he was as good as her word. Ste
phen, looking absently up from an un
accustomed day dream, saw the flash
of her crimson hat like a flitting bird
far down the trail.
The wilderness threatened at night
fall. Knowledge came to Stephen.
There was service which even money
might not buy; there were orders
which might not always be obeyed—
an hour of helplessness to the most
resourceful man—the stars were out;
how still, how terribly still, It was.
“Well,” asked a sweet vibrant voice,
“are you ready to go back with me
now, Stephen Kendall?”
Stephen jumped to his feet to greet
the girl.
“Quite ready,” he said, Hnd laughed.
“I am sufficiently punished for my pre
sumption.
“Who are you, Marette?” he softly
questioned.
As gently she answered him:
“You have heard of Marette, ths
singer? I come back here often, to
visit my father in bis beloved hills.'*
“And this time you will stay as long
as I? For I think that I may have
grown hard and crabbed waiting for
that one woman whom only now 1
have, love, and the one woman, little,
Marette. It Is wondrous strange that
I should know you so soon to be that
woman, but true—”
“Perhaps,” said Marette, his guide,
