For four generations. As long as we've iwned this inn. As long as there's to Hendricksons at sea." "And are there Hendricksons at B now?" I ventured. The old man's eyes lighted. There's one. My son, Tom. Been i boats since he was eighteen. Same as me. Same as my father ud grandfather before me." I didn't like to pry into his busi ness. But I was curious about this (peer custom of burning the candle. "How old would your son be now, Mr. Hendrickson?" I asked. He reckoned on bis fingers. "Let's tee! I was forty-eight when Tom was born. That would make him ten, twenty Tom's thirty-five now if he's a day. He ain't been home for seven years." Something like a sigh sounded. "But he'll come. The Hendricksons always come back. He'll take the inn here when I'm gone. He'll marry and have sons. And like as not he'll burn the candle for 'em when they grow up and go away to sea." "It's a nice custom," I said inadequately. inade-quately. "Custom?" said the old man. "Yes, that's what it is. A custom. Always done it. And I expect we'll go on doing it.

The candle flame wavered again. "Let's take that candle away from the window," I said. "The wind must be getting at it through the chinks." "How can It with that gless dingus?" said Hurlow. "Ah ha, here's a news commentator." The news commentator came on crisply. A strike In Minneapolis. I listened without much interest. Suddenly, Sud-denly, unexpectedly, the news commentators com-mentators voice rose higher. "Port of Spain, Trinidad. A violent vio-lent hurricane struck Trinidad this afternoon, destroying property valued val-ued at half a million dollars. But so far as can be learned only one life was lost and the man, unfortunately, unfortu-nately, was an American. Able Bodied Bod-ied Seaman Thomas Hendrickson was swept to his death from the tanker Pocohontas when the gale struck Port of Spain harbor. ..." HpHE words seemed to crash like A strayed lightning into the room. For a second we stared at one another an-other in stunned silence. Then Hurlow gasped, "Hendrickson" and snapped off the radio.

Ponderous, smacking blows. There was a whine in the wind. '"It's getting rough out there," Hurlow said. 1 I looked at the old man. He had fallen asleep in his chair. "He's pretty ancient," I said.

E D Serie B-7 KEEP A GOAL IN SIGHT In one of the largest cities in the United States there is a doctor who has had considerable success In putting put-ting distrait and unhappy people back on the right track to happiness and success. His method is beautifully beauti-fully simple. Whenever a person, feeling he needs a doctor's advice, comes to this doctor, the doctor puts pieces of plain white paper and a sharpened pencil in front of the patient, ' , "Before we start with your case," he suggests, "I want you to write down on that paper your goal in life. When we get it down in black and white I believe we can really go somewhere." Nine persons out of ten cannot define their goal at all, much less write it. In other words, nine out of ten men and women lead purposeless, purpose-less, goalless lives. The doctor believes be-lieves they can't find happiness until their goal is clear and in full view. "If your goal in life is clear, you will adjust yourself to the goal, but If your goal isn't clear or if it's an unworthy goal, how can you expect to be very effective or attractive to others?" he asks. I realize that what I have said here might sound a little bit theoretical theo-retical and academic to you. I assure as-sure you, however, that it is neither. nei-ther. Setting the goal and keeping it in sight is one of the big secrets of attaining the kind of personality and winning the kind of Success and happiness that you most want. Suppose your goal is the general goal of a business and social success. suc-cess. That's a very common gopL All right. It s worthy. Write down exactly what you want to get out of lifewrite down your goal boldly. , To attain that goal you've just written down, you know that you have to make yourself acceptable to certain persons perhaps to customers cus-tomers in your business or to the kind of men and womn you want to associate with in society. To be acceptable to them your personality must be the kind which they will approve. It must include certain traits generosity, charm, graciousness, magnetism, other positive qualities. The next thing you have-to do is spend an honest half hour in self-inventory, self-inventory, trying to decide what, in the final analysis, you have to do to attain the goal which you set for yourself. The philosopher Schleiermacher was delivered out of a serious Illness Ill-ness by. the ministrations of the celebrated Dr. Grafe. When well on the road to recovery, the pa tient sent his physician the sum of twenty-five dollars. The good doctor evidently found the sum grossly inadequate, for he promptly returned it to Schleiermacher Schleier-macher with the pointed comment: com-ment: "Wealthy people pay what they like; the well-to-do pay the regular fee; the poor pay nothing." noth-ing." To which the celebrated philosopher philoso-pher replied: "For the return of the twenty-five dollars which I had sent you, please accept poor Schleiermacher's sincere thanks."

Toy Banks That Performed When Deposit Was Made Between the years 1865 and 1900, the toymakers of America produced pro-duced some 200 types of mechan ical toy banks, atop which figures would perform when a coin was inserted and a lever pressed, says Collier's. The more ingenious ones were those whose figures them' selves deposited the coins. In one, a baseball group, the coin was placed in the hand of the Ditcher, who then hurled the ball (coin) which was missed by the batter and disappeared in the catcher. In another, a Negro boy standing in the door , of a cabin turned a somersault and kicked the coin into a slot under the roof.
