So"it came to pass that before mid
day -on the morning when Dan left
Eve Gilchrist, taking her at her
word;-it was—known in the “Record-
Courier” office that-he had been able
to set out for Australia. Dan* had
the good fortune to approach a com
pany.which was preparing to exploit
the commercial possibilities of an
Australian air mail and ..passenger
service. A new machine, specially
designed for the route, had just ib.een
tried by a pilot who yearned for
nothing so much as a chance to at
tack- the existing record - for.' t-he -fiir
journey. ’
' WiCn’Dan- blew in, explaining fhat'
he had most urgent business in Svd.-
ney, and that, within wide limits, ex
pense was no object, it looked to this
organisation as though he bad come,
straight from the blessed regions'to’
save' them expense. " A few shrewd
questions revealed the ’circumstances
sthaf Dan was the ideal passenger, a
man inured to adventure and priva
tion, and in every respect -the ex
treme -opposite to the customary,
seeker, of notoriety. He was a genu
ine passenger who desired to fly to
Australia because he was in a hurry
to arrive, and for no othpr reason.
: Young Amherst, the pilot, approv
ed of his passenger after ho longer,
than-ten minutes’ talk. . ■
. “What's the matter with getting
off at ohce?” he asl<ed. “There are™
some duds here that you. can wear,
and why waste time if you are in a
hurry?”

an expert was at once set to work
to prepare two. columns of ^cathing

This masterpiece was well on the
way when a quiet little'-.gentleman
from the Midlands called ajb the of
fice and insisted upon seeing the
editor. He--was introduced—to .a de-,
puty, and. promptly jumounced him
self as Mr. Peters, a solicitor from
Hillingdon. " ,
“I ' rcqu'cjent Mrs. Clements, the
mother of tlie girl who so foolishly
misled you yesterday,”'he said. ' “Ast

A fetv weeks ago I dealt with th.p
risks sometimes.,taken jn answering
advertisements of a certain type. My
'a-rti.cle apparently excited the intex’-
’ ^st™of—has-been'1
‘caught, napping’ with an advertise-'
ment of another sort. I have his let-!
ter before- me now,. When I fii:st read
it .1 was inclined to smile, and thpn,
I frankly became indignant .. .Here is
an extract-from his letter:.. . .•
“I. Have just read your; article on
“Answering Advertisements” and,
■like y'op; I- can sympathize’Vit'k the
. lady .jvhb was ‘caught happing’. I
have also .been ‘caught- hipping', but'
. .with, an. advertisement of another
sort, I read an. advertisement in a:
magazine? which "began “You can get
what you, want and then went on to
describe in glowing terms a course
in psychology supposed to teach you.
anything you .want—riches, fame,
friends, power, -etc. I wrpte for par
ticulars, and afterwards invested
some hard earned. - dollars in the
course only to find that I hacUwast-
ed/my money.. The course was just
so much drivel. ... I am bitterly|
disappointed, and I want to ask you
as a psychologist if psychology can
reailv help a fellow to get what he
wants.”
Now, isii*t that a- nice .poser? j.n
the first place, let .me say that, one
should always try to apply common
sense reasoning to’ the proposition
offered in any. advertisement before
parting with ‘hard earned dollars’; It
surely stands to reason,-—does it. not?
—that if there were such a thing as
a course, by which -men cotild .be
taught to' get all they want, every
body Would he taking that course.
Why, men would even bo wi.T.ng to
pawn their shirts to take it. - At#
least; I think I would, and I am just
human like others. ■
—'But--supposing -there—were—such -a- ■
course, and • supposing all men did
take; it; wliat would happen? Just
this, the selfishness that exists in
the world would become exceedingly
.more seifish and life would he sim
ply intolerable. No, my friend, a
little thought, and you would have
seen tlljfit. the proffered course was
too much of a good thing. It would
be the worst thing 'that could hap
pen us-, if, by some power or other,
we were able to get all we want.
Personally, I shall be satisfied if I
get al!, 1 need, and I think, so will
most- ! eople be. There are. few of
us who don’t get that and a little-
more than we actually need.'
Of course every new field that ..
opens up tend-S do become, for a
time, a happy hunting ground, for

.. And,’ having taken everything . in

perI’lexed ' Eve Gilchrist—namely,, to

Amhert drew from him the admiss
ion that he had ‘‘done'a bit of fly
ing” on .a . third-band machine' in
which the young pilot, would not, have
dreamed -of 'risking, his . life.'- There
had always bqen, Dan confessed,-a
tendency on.the part of tins veteran
airship to. “come unstuck.’’. So that
.careful overhauling was the inevit
able sequel'.to each 'flight.
Not only that, ban -had launched
his fortunes on thO waterless desert;
in a ramshackle mbtOr-caf .which had
to he repaired once a day; 'So that.

haps but industrious- and "tireless.
Eating, ..-drink-ipg1 and. Mopping were
the merest superfluities in. the creed
of Dan, Prescott. Tie would turn to;
after an exhausting day's travel, and.
spend half an hour in ihaking ready
for the next start. No precaution
was too elaborate'in Dan’s eye's, for
it provided against the interruption
