The "Ghost" -Reappears Dr. Foster did not follow him. To be called neurotic was humorous, but the incident had another aspect and he felt that he would give some- thing to be able to press the differ- ence to an issue, And then the feel- ing of resentment gave place to one of contempt, and with a shrug of his shoulders the doctor also turned on his heel. } He walked aft and gazed thought- fully at the rising and falling stern. He did not want 'to quarrel with Hughes, but he saw that Hughes was not and never had been, in a mood to discuss this tragedy calmly. Impulsive and aggressive to an ab- surd extent, he was the type of man who would not harken to any view 'but his own. Foster began to wond- er how this individual could hope to be a guccess as a secretary, where al] the talents of diplomacy and tact | were required. The notion came to him that Maud Barron had not thought too highly of Hughes's abilities: to manage her father's affairs; but there lingered in the doctor's mind a vague intuit. ion that Hughes was not so tactless as he appeared, and that his main opposition to Foster was . in an- othér direction. - x He was awakened.from his re- verie by the sound of someone call- ing his name. He turned to find himself faced with Maud Barron, Mrs. Gibbs, and his captain, who had just come out of the wireless room. "We have been seeing the mysteries 'of the wireless," explain- ed Maud as they advanced. "The captain has had us under his wing all afternoon." "Showing 'em the tricks," smiled the captain genially, "because it's the last time I'll see my Indies pas- senger list. Perhaps you don't know, Miss Barron. 1 just had it from the owners that Captain Swathling will take the 'Meridian' after me. We go into dry dock after we disembark--" "Aren't you coming back, sir?" asked Foster, for this was the first time he had heard of the move. "Nope. Going on the East route." He was watching Foster with a pair of clear blue eyes. "What about you, asked Maud. : "Oh, he'll be back after a Dr. Foster?" spell ashore," said the skipper. "He'll have time to work up his poison stuff, eh, doc?" "Yes," answered Foster, "if we are going to dry dock .I'll have some time free to go after research work. I'm due for several lectures, and one of the hospitals is interested in my studies concerning tropic poisons. But I'll sign on again when the old ship's ready for me." They walked along towards the saloon, and the ladies went to their state rooms shortly afterwards. Foster returned to his cabin to at- tend to his routine work and then prepare for dinner. His heart was not in his ship's duty just then. He felt uneasy and distracted, restless and unable to focus his attention. I wondered if he would ever hear uf truth of the death of James Ba ron. If the ship went into dry dock he would drift away to his studies, and the Barron ghost would no, longer come within the scope of his investigations. He knew" that Captain. Swathling would not be back in 'England for some time, and his thoughts turned towards the girl, who would be' without anyone to help her, save the usual cut and dried officials. She was now an orphan, but he reflect- ed that she surely had relations or' friends; but he wag not sure on that point, for James: Barron had never beeri a man who appeared to have friends, and he remembered once the merchant had said his daughter was practically alone, Well, it wag not a matter in which he could force his help, If she want- ed' him she wou)d send for him--if he was available, He made up his mind that he would be avdilable, the type that was devoted, beyofid suspicion, wholesome, and hated loudness either in voice or dress, that | She was the quiet, reserved type; | In The Garden.

They must be watched lest the soil gets too dry. On a wet day or some spare even- ing, prepare the labels for roots that are to be stored .over winter. Gladioli may be lifted before the leaves have yellowed. Labels should be attached and plants removed to some airy place to dry. Later soil can be shaken from root, foliage stems removed with a sharp knife and bulbs stored in paper bags. Dah- lias, too, should be lifted. Tuberous- rooted begonias, if carefully lifted, will continue to bloom in the house. Fuchias, geraniums and tub hy- drangeas should be watched in case of frosty nights. To Bring Wild Life : Back To This Continent A new attempt to save the wild life of this continent from extinction is now under way. The American Wild Life Institute has been organized un- der the presidency of Thomas H, Beck, head of the Crowell Publishing Company, State Commissioner of thé Connecticut Board of Tisheries and Game and chairman of President Roosevelt's committee on Wild Life Restoration. , In discussing. the objects of the In- stitute My. Beck said: "Conservation has not been effective, What we need is restoration, Formerly one could hunt and. fish 365 days in the year. Now it is limited to thirty or sixty days. The time limit has been de- creasing and the bag has been getting smaller and smaller. But so have the mammals and the birds become few- er. Conservation isn't enough." A lack of co-ordination, as well as of fuds, is responsible;~dn Mr. Beck's opinion, for the. failure of conserva- tion. "There will be no pussy-foot- ing about this," he said. "Game and wild life cannot be saved at dinners. All these men have come with a good right arm. They are willing to work and to spend money for the cause." The organization which.is to seek a membership of $10,000,000, will raise money, promote legislation, complete surveys and otherwise co- ordinate the forces working in the interest of bringing back to the United States as well as to Canada and Mexico, some of the abundant wild life which once existed. "Care of animal life on the hjgh- ways might well be taken as a test of a driver's fitness to operate an automobile, . . . The person who is not careful to protect dogs, cats and other animals cannot be classed as a careful driver." So says the -Public Safety Department of the Californa State Automobile Associa- tion.

" So, after thinking it out, Foster kept his distance and devoted him- to his studies as best he could. He had much" data to be tabulated and many ¥xtracts from plants and poisons from snakes to be noted and classified.

He r ; : 4, WHY WOMEN WORRY BY A LONDON PHYSICIAN "Think of the worry she's had, no| wonder she is ill," is a remark one often hears about women, and when the doctor is consulted, for want of a better term, the word "neuras- thenia" is used to cover 'a' whole group of symptoms where there no sign of 'organic disease, And yet the patient may complain of symptoms which could really be caused by some disorder vi some organ or other. : "Neurastheriia where as a result of nervous ex- haustion the mind and body are un- able to carry out their work effi- ciently. . It brings a 'whole train of com- plaints in its wake, and it is dif- ficult to treat successfully, principal- ly because so much depends on the patient herself, The causes of nervous debility are numerous. Many people are born with a highly-strung temperament, and on that "account they are more liable to crumple up when things are not going well, & Of course, these people "get a good deal more out of life than their more placid brothers and sisters. THE WORRYING KIND Everyone has ups and downs, but the highly-strung has these in 'an exaggerated form, If their ups are hilarious, magnificent moments, their downs reach the depths of de- pression, They are upset by incidents that have no effect on the placid, and they constantly complain of worry 'Worry is not, of course, the cause of the trouble, it is a symptom of it. In these cases it is not a bit of use telling them. not to worry. It would be just as helpful as telling some- one who is suqgering from toothache to stop having pain. : "No, the only way you can help is by trying to point out that the cause of the worry is not worth spending a second's thought on. You have to give them a new view to. persuade them that their way of looking at things is the wrong way. : All treatment. in these nervous cases should aim at getting rid of the cause. : i When the cause has gone, rest, good food, and freedom from anxiety will complete the cure.. Most of the depression which ac- companies neurasthenia is due in some degree to the loss of the sense of self-respect. And these are dif- ficult cases to treat. The - patient feels that she has fallen in her own' estimation. She has failed to come up to her own standards of effi- ciency. She may have been slighted. She may not have done as well as she thought in some special circum- stances or other; or she may have seen someone whom she despised carry out a piece of work better than she could have done. INFERIORITY COMPLEX To restore a sense of self-respect demands the greatest patience, for the patient has always an exagger- ated idea of her own worth, Other cases occur where the in- dividual suffers from what is known as the inferiority complex. She is shy in company and diffident about expressing her views. She is really afraid of what people will think of her. : It is often sufficient to point out that life is much too short and hectic for most people to waste time analysing their fellow creatures. Those -.ho suffer from this in- feriority complex should realise that if they wish to overcome it the only way to do gp if to pay less attention to themselves. An absorbing interest in life is a great help in all cases of nervous trouble of this kind, and that is why a hobby of some sort is so often ad- vised. It takes the patient's mind away from herself and her ailments. Th patient's greatest hope of a cure lies within 'herself; outsiders may help, but the effort must come from the individual.--London Daily Herald. ; ~ Holidays From the point of view of mental and physical hygiene, the summer 'holiday is a most valuable institution writes Sir. W. Arbuthnot Lane.

By GEOFFREY ST. CLAIR (Graphologist) : All Rights Reserved. [4 I have been asked, if handwriting shows character and abliities, how is it that groups of people working in the same line of business or profes- slon do not all write alike? In-other words, why do not all doctors write the same style, and. artists and so on, The answer to this is simple. Even Bll doctors, similar though their work may be, are not built alike -- they vary in mood, temper, char- acteristics--one doctor may be, a quiet, retiring sort of man, whilst frond is an aggressive, abrupt type. So thése different characteristics ex- press themselves in their writings, and marked differences may be notlc- ed in their style. It is very true that certain essential traits may be found similarly in the writing of most doc. tors, as also with, say, artists--but thelr general handwriting differs just as their natures differ, ERE Same people say: 'How can you tell. me what my character is from my handwriting when I rarely write the same way twicé? Sometimes I write one way, the next time 1 write in. a different way, and so on." Well, these people are usually ex- aggerating when they say that they never write the same way twice. What they really mean to say is that they frequently vary their writing. My answer to-their objection ig that the very fact that they often vary their writing itself is invariably true. So that what they express as an ob- jection to the accuracy of graphol- ogy furns out to be merely a confirm- ing gesture of the correctness of this science. It is really extraordinary how of- ten the old cry arises: "Tell me my future from my handwriting, please." Now I realisg just how much people do wish to know what the future foretells, It is symptomatic of people in every age that they try and peer behind the veil that hides our To- morrow from Today, And especially 8p In these .modern days, when go often the Future is so indistinct -- especially today is there a keen and passionate desire to know something of the hidden Future. Graphology, however, deals with character. Wg cannot foretell the future from your handwriting, Graph. ology CAN HELP YOU TO MOLD YOUR FUTURE MORE EQUIT- ABLY - and help you to give yourself a better . chance, but f{t cannot lay down any' definite events or happenings that to come to pass, Your character is; as I have prev- lously 'mentioned in these articles, the foundation upon which your fu. ture rests . , . and the stronger your character, the better able you will be to mould a more fortunate and progressive future, BE ¥. 0x =» Can Mr. St. Clair help you as he has helped so many of our readers?

Browne of Cochrane, tramped fifteen miles through the bush to attend to an indigent patient. It is quite an achievement, and- one| that is not infrequent in the medical fraternity. It was a good thing 'that the- Cahadian: Press carried. this story on its wire--it gave the writ- er a start on what he was wanting to do or the medical fraternity, a much misunderstood profession,' It is surprising that .so many peo- ple sneer at doctors, and say that all they care about "is the money end of it." If a doctor's bookkeeper could talk, he'd tell another story. Yes, the doctor has a fine car. He needs it, If he didn't he wouldn't be able to answer your, calls so quickly. He has a nice home, sure-- and he keeps hours that would make a union man faint and'a day labor- er shudder. - He gets out of town for a holiday. Sure, and spends half of it in a:lhospital or a clinic studying weird and strange things about ills that man is heir to. Quite a sweet life, the doctor's, eh?

Ordinary manners in motoring ;. in. stead of the "law of the jungle," is the way towards lessened traffic ha. zards, i "All our campaigning {in Detroit has been an attempt to sell one idea' Judge Maher declared; "to see if we can't sell the driving public on the idea that it is better to drive a car' with care and courtesy than it is to drive it recklessly. We try to impress people that it is foolish, dangerous, and costly to be a reckless driver," It was when he was named to Re. corder's Court six years ago that he hit on a new way of tackling the traf. fic problem, the judge told his aud. fence, It has helped to cut traffic ace cidents in Detroit, in half, he sald, He made. a study of traffic condi. he could in a short time, and learned very largely what not to do. His first move was to secure a dif. ferent sentiment towards traffic re gulations, Officers of the police de. partment were instructed to hand out 'tickets for traffic violations with courtesy. Ih the case of minor of. fences where a warning .would be sufficient, tickets were not to be is. sued. The idea was to combat the animo. sity felt generally towards the traf fic officers, the judge said. The ma- Jority of motorists have the wrong complex; he declared. They refuse to co-operate with authorities, and ré.. gard traffic laws with resentment, No Cr!minal Intent "The majority of motorists are not criminals. They may be careless for an instant, and cause an accident, or : possibly even kill some person, but the act carries no viciousness or cri. minal intent with it," the judge point. 'ed out. fron idl i "The traffic offender has to be dealt with in a different mannér to the man who deliberately sets fire to a barn, or steals your watch or mon ey. You can't bull-doze people into being careful." Traffic accidents in Canada and the United States are practically on a par, when the difference in popula. tion and number of cars are taken in. to consideration, Judge Maher - de. clared. The magnitude of the = loss from accidents last year was shown in statistics he quoted. * During the year 36,000 people were, killed in auto accidents, or one every fifteen minutes. Another million were injured, 'a casualty list greater than that of the American Expeditionary Force inthe last war, Property dam age amounted to $2,600,000,000, = or more than the total amount of the soldiers' bonus bill recently vetoed by President Roosevelt. The traffic problem is a new one, the judge pointed out. The auto has not' been in existence long, The first horseless carriage was in made in 1894, and for another 20 years 'it re. - mained almost a rarity. © But today everyone owns.a car, and it has he. come a part. of life, as much as a hat, shoes, and cigars, he said. The automobile cannot he dispens. ed with, Nor can it be tied down by speed limits. That method of control met defeat, he sald, despite ruthless handing out of tickets, Often the driver who apppears in traffic court needs care and advice, and a helping hand, Judge Maher said and to meet that need, where a fine or jail sentence might have been im posed with notliing but bad results, a 'drivers' school" was established, where traffic offenders may be sen. tenced to school, Their course , con. sists of lectures on traffic problems, {and an attempt is made to sell them on the idea that reckless and care. less driving is costly. ; Placed on Merit Basis "He praised the work of many trans. portation concerns in helping to solve the traffic problem. The Detroit Ed. ison Company has almost entirely el. iminated accidents by placing drivers on a merit basis, and other firms are achieviiig similar results, he said. The judge condemned the drunken driver unreservedly. "To drive a mo. eS 0 ody 18 ove Jo, on that requirég a lot of ekhs,' 2a said, "The drunk drivers chances of escaping an aceldent are zero.
