s / SYNOPSIS
Dan I’rescott and Gordon Vl/esterby*
... ftnd gold in the arid bush of. Australia-.
They stake their claim and start the
Ions journey to t,h.e coast.
Westerby has a fiancee, Gladys Clem
ents in England, but when they arrive
in Sydney, he marries a pretty blonde.
Gordon forwards a photo of Dan to
■ former fiancee, Gladys Clements, in
London and when Dan arrives she be-
.’ Jieves he is Gordon. . Eve. Gilchrist; a typist, obtains work in Medlicott’s of
fice, the broker who is floating the
jfnine. , ■
No sooner had Gladys gone than
Frankie Carruthers dashed in, burn
ing with ■ curiosity. One glance at
Eve’s stricken face Wiped the, antici
patory smile from her own.
"Eve, dear,” she said . in alarm;,
don’t-look "te^that, for. pity’s sake?’
"Do I show it so much?” ,Eve ask--
ed wanly. i‘It was a. bit of a shock,
I’ll admit. That was the girl to Whom
Mr. Prescott is engaged.”
"What, that goggle-eyed grtmsuck
er?” Frankie ejaculated. "Rot! 1 I’ll
r~.--bet-he--dO!ean2.t-]<-no-w-'.a-bout^itr” ------
‘‘She has his " photograph and'his
letters, arid the ring he gave her and
. the wrist-watcli,” Eve jaidx bitterly.
‘‘But he Wooed and won her as Gor-
’ don Westerby, and he claims that his
real, name .is Gordon?’1
.‘That shows she’s a liar,” Frankie
decidd. V’Smf! That is a grim brand
. of scent sho uses! Eve, be yourself,
^he whole dam thing is impossible,
wouldn’t fair for that penny-far-
Wning vamp. . There’s more, bf the
scenario. Spill it. quick.”—
• "The romance lasted tyro days,” Eve
snefTed: "Then the fil'm.liprp was
ended away to London. Since'then ’’
' She hesitated, for Frankie’s eyes
eyes were gleaming..
‘‘Let me finish!” Frankie ordered.
"He came to London, and saw an
other girl.
"Be quiet.” Eve commpnded, tn a
tone which even Frankie, had to re
spect. ‘Tf you want to insult me be-
yond forgiveness you have only to
, couple me with a man like that.”
Frankie sighed heavily,
—-..-_J"Hus..-li.e...ewer_satcl_a—wua.r.<.l—,to__y.d.u_.
that gives you a right to camplain?”
she asked. "No?” Never made love to
you? He wouldn’t. He had the chance
too,. And anybody who saw him look
at you could see he ‘worshipped the
’ground under your feet?’
‘‘And isn’t that an insult, when he
was engaged to a girl like that?”*
"You’ve only heard her side of it;
and.it is too comic to be true, or even
a-likely, lie. Keep yotir wits, Eve., arfd
your temper. Hea'r what lie has to
. say before you form any opinion.”
• I never want to speak to him
again.” Eve said viciously. ‘‘Ugh! You
should have heard her .describing.lioyv
happy they were,, and how she showed
her love!”
"Here co.mes the chief,” Frankie
remarked as Medlicott’s voice was
audible. ‘‘IRemember what; I said.”
Medlicott came in, his face, wearing
n preoccupied look.
‘'•I'm lunohing with I’rescott and
Cairns. Eve.” he said. We are di icus-
sfng what action can be taken.
•’There's an . . . an impediment .”
”1 know,” Eve said drily. "She has
been, in here, looking for Mr. Wcst-
ei hy. as she calls him.” ■
“Tim douce she has.” Medlicott ex-
Clairri’J. ‘ What did.you do With •her?”
Impossible, Impractical Ex
amples Cited; “Feel
Like” Anything
‘‘I made an appointment with her
to se'e Mr. Prescott at four,” Eve
said. “It struck me that she,had not
been nicely treated?’ *
‘‘I wish you had-, rung me up,”
Medlicott said. “Lwant Cairns to getl
hold of "that girl and shut, her mouth,
pronto. You were hardly to know, of
course, but this is very important.
• Did"she tell you very much?”
"More than I wanted to hear, My
Me’dlicott,” Eve said.
“She’s got the idea , that Dan and
■VVesterhy arc the same man, I*sup
pose?”
‘‘So I gathered?’
“What do you think yourself, Eve?w
“I have no means of forming* an
opinion,”. Eve said, frigidly. ..
“That’s not business, Eve,” Medli
cott said-, sharply. ‘.“You must set
aside your personal feelings, for Hie

tacks. I’m in such a. position, one w^
or another, that I " stand or fall by'
WHEN if coines, to murdering the
king’s-,English, according to a friend]
of ours, the greatest massacre is not
in the use of slang. Rather, it’s the
. inept use of similes.
It’s funny, - says our friend,. but
• those -people -Who-watch 4?hefr speech
carefully, and avoid, slang* expressions
, often are t|i,e worst, violators of what
] he calls rather .impossible, if not- jiii-

MANNING AND LOSING .. «
Many strange letters reach my
desk, nnd I am asked all sorts of
1 questions. Consider, for example,'
1 the following coming, from-a young
lady. She writes to me in part:—
. "I should like to ask you this
question: Why is it that nearly
...eiei-ything I . .do. g.oes. .opposite. _to..
what I -intended ? ' I think that .what
I am going to^do will .turn out’ suc-<
■cesSfully, but as. a rule it turns put
.'.the reverse.' I make a sale, custom
er perfectly satisfied, b.ut rit the last
moment.changes' his.'mind,. He de-1-
cides to.; wait a while'longer.'• I go
-to.'the races; .pick a winning.horse,,
play,, him first and he. runs second.
Jf I^-play him second he runs third,
and if I play him third, he runs outi
I select winners in every race arid if
I decide not to . play they win and
pay big money. I should be . grateful
if you could tell me why this is thus.”
. Well, there it is, and I have quot
ed the central block of/ this young
lady’s letter.' I am neither, slighting
nor sarcastic when I say that, in her
letter, she portrays the type of mind
which rui^s to- a. palpi reader, a cry
stal gazer, or some other kind of so
called fortune teller. And, of course^
I make no .pretence at telling; fori-,
tunes,' , . ' ’ ■ '>
However, there is an answer to
the question which she asks. Horse
racingWS^^my mind, a matter ,of
sheer . chance and luck. When this
young lady picks, a horse and loses,
I would say her luck is out. Horse
racing may be good sport, but with
out being priggish, I think it is, -like
many other sports, spoiled by--the
gambling that enters into. it. I have
seldom known the ‘better’ to have
an all round win.. As a rule, the
‘bookie’ is the winner all the time. If
my correspondent'"wishes to indulge
in "a, little, flutter; on the racri cou'rse,
then she should be. willing to take
"Kersgharice and" smile"when she leges"
as well as When she is lucky ; and
wins. For niy own,,part; if I were
her, I would leave the horses' severe
ly alone. I’think she "will be better
off financially in the end.
. As to the'sales she almost makes
but fails to close, that is a different
matter.. I do not know what’ her.
business is or what she is trying to
sell, but whatever it is, she .seems
to fall short in salesmanship. While
she may feel in her conscious mind
that , she has made a sale, I think in.
her subconscious mind* there' must be
a 'doubt about it. The subconscious
mind is,■’•of course, the directing mind
and- is very much more powerful
thari the conscious • mind. The doubt
may be as to the article, she is. try
ing to sell, or it may be as to'her
ability to convince her custodier
that it is the very article ‘that he
needs • and that he„ ought therefore
to-purchase. To be a .good salesman
or saleswoman,, one niust have faith
in what-one is selling, fogther with
'faith_.in his or hgr ability_to con*
vince the customer of his need? of
it. And that requires "HKlSITlVK""
THINKING. .
/That brings me to w;hat I think -is
I the chief trouble' of my correspond
ent. She ha$ never acquired the art
of positive .thinking. / She is thinking
negatively. And negative thinking..
nevei* makes for successful living.
My advice' to her is to try and
change her mode of living- Go in for.

We say this because, before the
discovery of "Aspirin,” most so-
called "pain” remedies were ad
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery Of
"Aspirin” largely changed medical’
.practice. ' •
Countless thousands of people
.Who have taken "Aspirin” year in.
and out without ill effect, have •’
proved that the medical findings
about its tfijcty were correct.

rated among the fastest methods yet
