THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, PAGE SEVEN LOVE SHY - | Installment Thirty-four E_ FOUR-LEAF CLOVER 4 August days passed over | Janet's head as though they were 4 @ dream. She resolutely denied her- | gelf secing Jimmy at all, and often | instructed her mother to say she was , not at home when the telephone in the evenings. As yet she told no one but Mildred of the ised promotion in the fall and d been a little dismayed that she took the wonderful news so calmly, But she forgave this lack of en- thusiasm because she felt that Mil dred knew of Jimmy's hopeless pas- sion for her and also because Mil- dred 'was absorbed in plans for her wedding. Late one hot afternoon when the office' sweltered and swam in the suh, Janet telephoned her friend. she. knew Westlake was away and that Mildred would be free of en- gagements. "Can 1 come over this evening?" Janet asked when Mildred answered. "Of course you can. Come for dinner. Johgy's coming back tumor- | row and it may be our last chance for a good talk." "l was hoping you'd ask me for dinner," Janet said, "I'm low in my mind, got a misery in my disposition and want some advice." "I never give advice," Mildred said succinctly, "but I can give you a cold | drink and some salad and some | jellied consomme if that's sufficient | inducement." "It is," Janet assured her. "Is-- is Jimmy going to be there this eve- ning 2" "Nope, the coast"s clear, Jimmy's spending the evening with his papa. We'll be all alone. The long living réom of Mildred's apartment had been shuttered all day against the hot sun and was cool and Jinviting. Mildred, wearing only a bright coolie coat, with mules on her bare feet, opened the door to Janet. | "Hop in, honey, and have a cold shower before dinner.' I laid another coolie coat out for you and we can be just as comfy as a couple of tea- | roses--don't hurry, dinner can wait-- want a long drink of iced tea first?" "Umm," Janet said a few minutes later, setting down her frosted glass with the cool mint leaves sticking out of the top, "that makes me feel bet- ter--I'll be with you now in a few minutes." She came back to the living room rested and refreshed. You look a lot better," Mildred observed, "you seemed sort of wash- ed out when you came in." "I was," said Janet, sitting down to her jellied consomme and attack- ing it with relish. "What's worse, I've been {feeling that way right along--lost all my pep and t even take much interest in my new work." "It's the hot weather, 1 guess" ildred said, "unless, of course, you're worried about something," ' "The Best That's in You" Janet put her spoon down, "How did you guess?" she asked "I am worried, about several things. For one thing, my friend, Adelaide, you never met her, but you've heard Jimmy apd me talk about her. Well, Adelaide has changed so that I hard- ly know her--she's one of the hos- tesses in a night club now and she doesn't seem the same girl I used to know and be so fond of at all." "Probably reverting to type," Mil- dred suggested, "if she was that kind of girl to start with, fast and crazy about a good time, there wasn't any- thing else for her to dn when <"e had everything shot out from under her. Don't waste worry on her, she's probably a lot happier right now than you are." "T know," a thoughtful little frown came between Janet's eyes, "I know it's foolish for me to worry and if 1 were sure she truly is happy I By Barbara. Webb wouldn't care so much. But when you've had some one for a friend all your life you can't help wanting to see her, well, go straight and live up to the best that's in her----" "Jimmy always said loyalty was your long suit, Janet." Mildred of- fered, lighting a cigarette and put- ting it into a long holder. "Did Jimmy say that" Janet flush- ed 'with pleasure, "That was nice of him, but ' guess all my loyalty to Adelaide can't change her any now." She sighed. Mildred 'blew a smoke ring and watched it drift toward the ceiling, then she said, "How about yourself, Janet, are you living up to the best that's in you?" "Why--wty-- what do you mean?" Janet stammered. "Just what I said." Janet finished her apricot ice slow- considering Mildred's question. inally she said, "I'm doing my work faithfully, Mildred. I'll have my new position in a week, right after Labor . That means I can free my father and mother of any burden of looking out for me, even help them at times if they need it. I don't know anything else I can do and still live up to my own ideals." "Do you expect to work all your life, Janet?" : ~ "I don't know. It does seem to me that working as I do, making a ca- reer for myself, however, small it is, is worth something. You've done it for years." "Only to give it all up for mar- riage," Mildred put in. "You forget too--or maybe you don't know, Janet, that I had some money of my own, from my mother. | never kept up this apartment, you know, on what I earned fromr the sale of my paint ings. Janet looked at her aghast, "Why why I always thought you did," she said in astonishment. "I thought that maybe some day 1 could have an apartment of my own--oh,. not so grand as this, but something nice, a home that I made for myself. I've always wanted a nice home, Mildred, and I've never had it. One reason I liked to come here was that things are always so beautiful and orderly and restful. 1 know what it is, you see, to scrimp and save and go to bargain sales and actually feel badly when a glass is broken because it costs money to replace it." "Then why did you turn John Westlake down when he asked you to marry him?" Mildred asked bluntly. "Because I didn't love him and he didn't love me," Janet said steadily. "Exactly. You see there's something in you, Janet, that won't let you play Foul false. You think you want a autiful home and all of that. What you really want, must have, is your own seli-respect, and I don't know how long that is going to be satis- fied by a mere job, even if it is a position as private secretary to some big business executive." In His Own Dooryard Janet had no answer for this. She wondered at Mildred's courage in bringing John Westlake's name into the conversation. She felt confused, not sure of hér ground, bewildered by Mildred's incisive words. "Listen to me Janet. I'll give you a clue," Mildred came and sat down by Janet, taking one of the younger irls hands in her own. "Do you now the story of the four-leaf clover?" Janet shook her head. "Welly once there was a man who wanted a four-leaf clover. He wanted it more than anything else in the world and so he set out to look for it. He traveled many places, far places, always searching, always look- ing and never finding it. As the years went on he wanted it more fiercely than ever, but finally he became an old man, too old to search in far places.any longer. Broken and weary and worn and old he came home. He found thc fotit-leaf clover in his own dooryard where it had been growing all the time," Twilight fell. The two girls sat in dred's words. The telephone shrilled. Lucy answered and announced, "Mr, Jimmy's coming over, Miss Mildred." Mildred looked at Janet. "Will you wait 2" { . But Janet rose in a panic, her eyes shining, the hand that she held out to Mildred moist with excitement, "not tonight--some other time--I mist go NOW=mee"" \ When Jimmy arrived, she was gone.

The President's Speech Mr. Macaulay spoke as follows: "It is with very special pleasure that I move the adoption of this fifty-ninth annual report of the Com- pany. We have grown accustomed to great and increasing prosperity, but the achievements of the past year surpass all previous records in even our history. "The New Assurances paid for reached the huge total of $654,- 000,000. Even more impressive, however, is the. fact that this is an increase of more than forty-eight per cent. over last year. "The Assurances in force now exceed $2,400,000,000, an increase of over half a billion. But a:few years ago we rejoiced at reaching the one billion mark; we now have passed the second billion and are well on towards the third billion. "The Income has reached $172,- 000,000, and the Assets are now $568,000,000. "More important still, the profit earnings of the year have risen to nearly $43,000,000. We have as usual applied a considerable pro- portion of these earnings to further strengthening the position of the Company. - "Another $10,000,000 has been deducted from the market values shown in the report, raising that item to $30,000,000 $1,000,000 has feen written off the Company's buildings while over $2,000,000 has been added to our 'various special reserves. "The sum of $22,600,000 has been distributed as profits to our policy- holders, and in addition to all this nearly $6,000,000 has been added to the undistributed surplus, now more than $60,000,000. "This wonderful showing is, as always, based on a valuation of our securities enormously below the mar- ket quotations actually existing at the close of the year, so that the real strength of the Company is only partially disclosed. Stock Exchange a Mere Auction Mart "That such results should be achieved in the face of the Stock Exchange panic, of which we lave heard so much, may at first appear strange. It is, however, not so sur- prising, for we are apt to over-esti- | mate the importance of that crisis, serious though it was. What is the Stock Exchange? It is merely a place where public auctions are held. It differs from other auctions only in the articles sold, and in the volume of the transactions. It is no more true of this auction than of other auctions that the prices bid are an infallible index of the real value of the articles dealt in. The quotdtions fluctuate with the .optimism or the pessimism. of the bidders. They are frequently much betetr evidence as to the bank accounts and credit of the bidders than the value of the stocks bought and sold. Business as Usual "That was exactly the situation during the recent price reaction. It was purely a' Stock Exchange panic. It was not caused by any trouble in general business. We did not sec the closing down of factories, wholesale discharges of employees, and other symptoms of business distress such as marked the great depressions to which our minds revert. Outside the ranks of the unfortunate speculators there was little ta show that any- thing unusual was happening in the Wall Street auction rooms. On the days of the reaction the business of the country went on as usual. Men continued to work, chil- dren continued to be born, the popu- latiofi continued to grow, the great clectric companies continued to in- | crease their output, 'enlarging their {power houses or building new ones. The great corporations whose stocks we own continued to expand, contin- ued to prosper and to earn cven larger dividends, just ag if there were | no dealings in their shares at all, What happened was merely that last { June, in a wild burst of enthusiasm speculators bid up prices beyond™nor- mallevels, and this in turn produced a wave of selling which began' as profit-taking, but ended in a panic which carried prices as niuch below normal levels as they had previously been fprced above them. The prices of Nowember last, of course, showed a gredt drop from the quotations of mid-September, but in reality that great reaction did little more than remove the temporary bulge caused by the over-enthusiastic bidding of the previous' months of the year. The the annual meeting of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada. reduced to the plainest terms.what is obscure to many, when he compared the Stock Exchange to an auction room where prices fluctuate according to the mental condition or the bank balance of the bidders, and not according to the intrinsic value of the articles on sale. expressed comparative indifference of these things, his company being and chiefly with the continuance or increase of divi- securjtics held by his company.

Rubbed on the throat and chest, Vicks acts two ways at once in relieving colds: (1) Its healing vapors, released by body-warmth are inhaled direct to the inflamed air-passages loosening phlegm and easing the breathing. {2) At the same time it acts like a pouliice or plaster and "draws out" the tightness and pain.

The losses supposed to have been suffered by permancat invesgors, such as the Sun | .ife, are like 'those of my jocular | friend--they are not losses a all, but merely profits which we might have made had we known just when the peak was, and had altered our prac- tice so as to scll out at that time, Following the Continents "Star" "When investing our funds, we look always to the distant future-- ten, twenty, thirty years hence. Through our large stockholdings we have become permanent partners in the great utility and other corpora- tions which furnish such essential service that they may almost be said to be part oi the national life. 'We believe in the future of Montreal, of New York, of Chicago, and of all our great centres of population. We be- lieve even more in the future of our entire nations--both Canada and the United States. What will they be fifty years from now? Does any one doubt their future? We have hitched our investment policy to the star of this Continent, and in particular to our great cities, and just as surely as they continue to grow and prosper so surely will our. investments grow and prosper. What need we care for the moods or pocketbooks of in-and-out speculators? Why should we reverse our policy and throw our great holdings on the market for some possible temporary gain? Could we be sure that we would even get our shares back? - We prefer to con- tinue as permanent partners.
