My forgotten cigarette burned my fingera and I tossed it from the car. I turned over a small cottage down on the lake to Phillip Crasor, stocked it with a Bible, paper, pens, ink and blotter- - and told him to go to work. I left man there to see that he didn't get outside help. It was strictly business with me. 1 had $50,000 at stake. FICTION CORNER STRICTLY BUSINESS By ROBERT C.

He drove out toward the lake. "Don, Thatcher said abruptly after he got a cigar started. We were entering the lake drive. "There are three million, five hundred and four hundred and eighty letters in the Bible. 1 suppose so. I almost dropped my cigarette. His talking about the Book took me by surprise.

Sunlight was on the lake, a moving pattern of glinting water under a cloud aplashed sky. The club was in an uproar, with men betting each other we'd both back out, or go on with it.

Hi hand moved to hi right side. They wouldnt take me the last time. He straightened. Breeze from the lake swept our. smoke from the car. ' Phillip Crssor said he had $5,000 that said he eould handle any job for 12 months. Inherited the money from an aunt, I believs. Anyway, he said for me to put up or shut up. The fellows in the club laughed, and I well, I lost my temper. I called him at ten to one, betting 50,000 against his five that h couldn't handle the job. I was to name the job. It wasnt to b impossible, or require technical skin neither of us had. It was foolish, but neither of us would back down. It waa a bet and I couldn't call it off.

You Leap' PENNSVILLI, Phillip Crssor was going to prodace 10 perfectly legible handwritten copies of the Bible, as the contract provided, or he would lose the bet. I didnt get back for a week or two, and Phillip had spoiled a lot of paper but produced nothing acHe wanted to fight, but ceptable. I told him to read the contract and back where it had so many letters and words and all that, and It gave me an Idea. When I was in school I couldnt spell.

I wrote about 20 words a minute, writing carefully. I figured I could write perhaps SO words a minute, fast. That meant about 15,000 words in a full day of writing. At that rate. It would take 50 days to complete a handwritten copy of the Bible. Ten good, clear, handwritten copies would therefore take about 500 days, and the bet was for a year. Thstthcr laughed softly, remembering. I realized that this was an ideal Job for the purpose. It required no technical skill neither of us had, and there was a good chance that Phillip Crasor couldnt do it. 1 didn't want to los $50,000 any more than he wanted to lose the five. Phillip hadnt stuck at anything since he came out of the army, and I figured he'd drop out within a few weeks at the most Then, Id return his money and teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget about betting. And there was a very good chance that, after he learned what the Job was to be, hed drop the whole thing and agree to call the bet off. That would have been fine with me. I couldnt back down as long as Phillip wanted to go on, of course. The men at the club never would have forgotten it, and it would have hurt me In a business way. I went back to the others." H nursed his cigar for a few moments. Phillip Crasor exploded when he learned what the job wa to be. I didnt know it, but hi handwriting wa awfuL He thought I was ribbing him. The men in the club were having th time of their lives.

I thought he would burst The dub was betting he'd last aboul another week. I did not think he'd go that long." Thatcher looked out over the lake, then his eyes came back to the drive before us. Business suddenly took me to France and Italy and I stayed there for months. He coughed again, apologetically. . All, war are, not won on th battlefield, and all soldiers do not wear uniforms, you know. Anyway, I was gone over nine months.

ROTH OURSELF TO A CHAIR A friend of the lata William James, greatest psychologist of his day, asked the noted man if he would mind giving a tew rules for the improvement of personality. reOne rule 1 will give you, sponded Dr. James, a simple rule but so Important. The rule is this; Learn to give yourself up to a chair at least once each day Mystified, the Inquirer asked what Dr. James meant when he said give yourself up to a chair "Practice conscious relaxation, he was told. "Relax every day. Relaxation, particularly the ease and rcstfulness associated with ntter relaxation. Is one of the best aids I know In developing a charming personality. How often one tees these futile men and women who are busy from morning till night, who never relax, who dash from one thmg to another, who fidget and fume, who talk rapidly, who bum up energy and tlrs themselves and everyone els out hy their fruitless display of waste motion. And how rarely one finds the composed, re--i taxed personality of power Dr. James' advice was, of course, purely physical all you had to do was to give yourself up to the chair, relax utterly, let your body sag where it would. But there is si subtle and marked relation ways ship between mind and body.
