Lappin SClen THINGS SHOULD NOT BE TOLD Icirtw many amen , and women are tleare who would like to clave their veal:, recalled? Very few, I fancy. And •yet, eery now and then we come acroati someone who wants to rake tea the past in somebody else's life, Iitaliaal nature Is indeed strange. I (ROYAL YEAST CAKES -keep F OI Strength _ 5ANDWICI1 ROLLS have a letter before me now .from a young college girl, and it raises a problem which has all the marks of "the eternal triangle" about it. The sort of problem which provides good working Capital for novelists and story writers. Without actually quoting from the letter let me state briefly the prob- lem. Apparently There is a young man from the same town as my cor- respondent who is a student at the same college. He conies from a very respectable family. He is keeping company with another girl student in the college who Las confided to my correspondent an inrident in her life which belongs to the past. The com- panionship between this other girl and the young roan seems to rile (I think that is the most appropriate word) niy correspondent. She writes nie asking me if I would advise her to tell the young man what the other girl has confided to her and adds — "I somehow feel it is my fluty to tell him." I often wonder how many souls have begin irreparably damaged by Others who have excused their con- duct and appeased their consciences by trying to persuade themselves and others that it was all done in the sa- cred name of duty. Again and again I have to try and get correspondents to see what duty really is. It seems to me to be summer up in those words of Malachi written so long ago—"What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" If that does not sum up one's duty, then what floes? But come back to my correspond- ent's problem. What is the true mo- tive that is prompting her to tell? leas sale herself got a boy friend? Has she an eye on this young plan herself? These are items concerning which her letter is silent. It inay be that if she will sit down quietly and consider this whole matter, she will discover that, perhaps unconsciously, the mo- tive prompting her to tell emanates from this direction. • The trouble with us is that we so often confuse duty with a petty des- ire to gain some enil of our own—aid an essentially selfish end it so often happens to be. We need to carefully examine the inner motives which: prompt us to do things before we act. We need to be sure that what we pro- pose to do is right. 12 it is not right, then it cannot be our duty. And no- thing can over be right which inevi- tably works harm for another per- son. I would like to put one or two ques- tions 10 niy correspondent. Would she like to have her own past recalled in detail? Ilosv would slie feel if some- one betrayed her confidences? Has ;;he considered what the young man's miction would be? If he is an honor- able young than—and site seems to think that he is ---then his reaction would probably be to regard her with scorn for having betrayed a confid- ence. Look squarely at this thing. One person regards another person as at friend. Because of the friendship a confidence is given, but the one to wlloni it is given betrays it. What is she or he? ra traitor! I ant quite sure no young laIly would like to he known as snob. Taste another point of view.

"I've got something that I want to Show you—something that I think -- that I know—will interest you." 13e produced a worn leather note- case, and placed it on the table be. lore him, He opened it in a clumsy fumbling fashion and revealed an odd assertuusnt of papers. His glasses did not seem to aid dlim a great deal, for he groped and fumbled through the heap of scraps of paper and dog-eared letters, At last from the pile of rub- risll, he unearthed the thing be had been looking for. "Alt — I've found it," Taunton and Foster no longer kept up their professional air of aloofness and studied lack of interest. They were both clearly as excited as Brank- some liiniself. It was several weeks since the sen- sational death of Signor Parelli had occurred at the Queen's Hall, and de- spite the sensational events which had preceded and followed it, there had not been the vestage of a clue to the person or persons who had so cunningly manoetivred the musician's murder.,, There seemed to be a com- plete lack of motive for the crime. Did the beginning of the trail lie here in Oxford? Was Mr. Branksome, the eccentric: student, going to reveal something which would lead thein to- wards their goal? He lad admitted the theft of the poisons from the laboratory safe. Was It too mach to hope that he was going; io prove able to put them on the trade of the real murderer? Neither' of the officers suspected that Mr. Branksome was anything but a pawn in the game. 'ilia student at last held up a piece of paper — an ordinary double sheet of notepaper, blue in colour, much rubbed and torn at the edges, and covered with small Handwriting. He placed the darty crumpled document on. the table" -anti carefully smoothed it out with hi's long lean fingers. "I don't kngw what you two gentle- men would hive done hath you, being in my position, holding niy views and leaving my opportunities, received a letter like this." IIis eyes glowed with a fire that wad after all a lunatic? The idea en- tered the minds of Foster and Taun- ton at the same time; each could read the other's suspicions. That was it. The crime was the work of a lunatic. That was often the explanation of a seemingly motiveless crime— the re- sult of the machinations of a distort- ed brain. No detective — nobody on earth — could trace a thinge like that until the roan himself was ar- rested. by chance or on his own con- fession. But they both of them reali- zed that there was still a long way to go. There was nothing at all to show that Branksome himself hart commit - tied the crime. All he .had admitted was the abstraction of the drug from the laboratory. They were growing impatient. but the student did not seem to be in a burry to get on acid read out the letter which might give them the clue and starting -point they so badly needed. "Dear, dear! That's rather auntie.. ing! I must have -- no, I can't have lost the envelope!!" "I don't think you need worry about that," said Foster. "If it's at all important I daresay you can manage to find it afterwards." "But it is important. — most im- portant. That's just niy point." Again lie went through the muss of Papers and again without re:anit. Taunton was fuming by now. ".Now Iook here, Id)'. Iiranks ons—I don't want to be harsh," Ile adopt, 'd "Is a person who takes—steals if you like—something that belongs to someone else—riot for himself but for someone else who wants it very much —for a good—a noble purpose --as guilty as if he had taken it for him self? Branksome's expression of bland innocence as he jerked out these questions was almost too mucks for Taunton's self control. It was only with the greatest difficulty that he suppressed a laugh. Chief Constable Foster put down his pen and scratch- ed his head. He looked' across help- lessly at Taunton. "What I mean," went on the stn. deut before his hearers had had time to recover from the shock his words had given then, "is, is it a crime to do something like this for soanebody when there purpose as a good one— a humane one—something for the ge- neral good of a class of God's creat- ures?" • Taunton gasped. The eccentric stu- dent turned round to look at the clock on the wall behind him. • The Chief inspector seized the opportunity to place his forefinger' significantly to his temple and nod towards Foster. • Taunton cleared his throat in pre- paration for giving as milts an ac- count of the law relating to larceny as he could frame. Foster might be compelled at a later stage to charge the student, waother he wished to or not and the Scotland Yard man was too anxious to get any possible in- formation to run the risk of drying it up altgether at its source.

Why not emphasise the good in- stead of the bad? But then, folks who feel like my correspondent are likely to try and justify themselves and they usually come back with the question—"But mustn't I tell the truth?" Why, of course, we should all tell the truth, but we can at least wait until we are asked for information and even then we can be discreet, and use common sense ancl, at the same time, be truth- fut. Long ago the Wise Man wrote in bis Proverbs, "There is a time tto speak, and there is a time to keep si- lence." I think Ibis young lady should keep silent. You recall that poem 'Worth While' by Ella Wheeler Wilcox: "It is easy enough to be prudent, When nothing tempts you to stray, When without or within no voice of sin Is luring your soul away: But it's only a negative virtue Until it is tried by fire, And the life that is worth the lienor on earth, is the one that resists the desire." For the one indiscretion that we know of in a'person's life, we do. not know how often they have struggled a.gaivat temptation and resisted it to overcoming. If we did, we would be more prone to admire than to con- demn. Let us try to keep that in our mind, and remember that the husi- ness of every man and woman is to discover the purpose behind his or her life, and by quiet, honest perser- veranee, to try to achieve that pur- pose. Only by so doing can we con- tribute our best to the good of the whole. Why waste time trying to run other peoples' lives? We have each our own life to live. Let us live it as well as we can.

The purpose of this column is to be of service to those who are now seeking help in this important mat- ter. Your birthday can be used as a guide to a proper decision. Let us suppose that you, or some- one in whom you are interested, were horn between February 19th and the 29th. Such a person should seek an occupation in which personality can find expression. The home will be linked up with the work in some way perhaps as business headquarters. The work of pencils born in this per- iod should involve contact with pec. pie and such will find a special sat. i.efa.ction in social service work and will be happiest in those endeavours which call upon the emotions. Some of the most successful kindergarten teachers are born in this period. They have the faculty of teaching through love and understanding and apprecia- tion of the needs of their young *bar- ges, A man in this category would be successful in horticulture, particular. ly in research, finding his greatest satisfaction in producing a new var- iety of vegetable or more beautiful flower. Fullest success will come through quiet persistence in the se. lected vocation.
