Tor Better or i For Worse" Dv wiarv l,. ramsn . y (Copyright, 1317, by W. G. Chapman.) Itiebard Hooker let himaelf into his apartment with his latchkey and paused to hang his hat in the hall. Suddenly he stopped, with the hal still Jn his hand, and listened. It wa3 his wife's voice in earnest, pleading entreaty. "Oh, why won't you wait? Why won't you be a little patient?" she begged. A man's voice broke in with passionate protest! "Wait?" he cried. "Do you think when a man loves with his whole heart and soul, he can be put off this way?" "But if you care so much, you will see " "No! No! I don't see! I thought you would " "But listen to me !" she broke In. "Not now I'm too desperate," he said. There was a movement as though jthe man were leaving, and Richard (Hooker quickly stepped into his bedroom and waited. He did not hear any more conversation, only the quick closing of the outer door. He felt Idazed and cold. He stood still, trying to pall himself together. His first impulse was to go directly to his wife land ask her who this man was, and what the "words he had overheard !meant.a Then he concluded to say bothing. He would wait for her to speak. If she remained silent he could Jdraw Iiis own Inferences. As he entered the room he observed her keenly. She was sitting with both elbows on the table and her face bowed upon her hands. When she looked up her features betrayed the ordeal through which she had been h Was His Wife's Voice In Earnest, Pleading Entreaty. passing. Instantly she tried to mask it with a smile of welcome, and began talking about inconsequential happenings Of the tiny. It was plain she meant to tell him iiothing. Seeing this, he thought best to meet her on her own ground, and pretended he had heard and seen nothing. Richard and Lucy Hooker had been married about six years. He was in ills early thirties, and his wife was .some five years his junior. His love if or Lucy was deep and strong, and had never cooled with the years of married Jife. The only clouds that had for a iShort time obscured their happiness had been caused by his jealousy, which up to now had been proved to be groundless. After the last unpleasant lexperience of this kind he hd vowed never to let anything shake his conjlldence in his wife, and to try to root jout from his disposition this curse of jealousy. But lately he had noticed in her a kind of restlessness and despondency which he had laid to the thought of separation from a dearly loved sister, who had determined to enter the Red Cross service, and was soon to sail for Europe. Now he believed he hod found the real reason for this. How could he doubt the evidence of his own ears? Even though lie had meant never , to doubt hqr again, what other possible construction could he put upon what he had heard? yhc torture of It burned into his very sou!, and tore him like a mad beast. He determined to hide all this as far as possible rom Lucy till he had more proofs. Soveral days went by, and al though he came home at all sorts of unexpected times, he failed to again find the man. He shrank from as yet putting a detective on the track of his wife. The strain under which he was living, in spite of his efforts to conceal it, was felt by Lucy, and she began to ask him if he was not well. He immediately laid tills solicitude to a desire on her part to cover up her unfaithf ulness to him. One evening when Lucy had gone to see a friend, ho determined to .search among her belongings to see If he could find a note or anything which wight lead to further proofs. Ho

turned over gloves, ribbons ai u clothing in the different drawers, and was about giving up the search, when he spied an envelope down in one corner of a drawer under some articles of clothing. He drew It out, and saw that it was addressed to his wife In a man's hand. Inside were fo'ir letters without envelopes which had evidently been thrust into this one for safekeeping. He opened the letters and read them. They all began: "Dearest," "Darling," or "Adorable Girl," and breathed the tenderest, most undying devotion. He put them in his pocket and went back to his room utterly crushed. This was the most staggering blow of all. The letters bore date of several months back, but the postmark on the envelope was a date of only about two days before the day he had found the man with his wife. No doubt she had destroyed that letter, and put these she wished to save in the envelope. He asked himself what more he could want for proof. Perhaps on these other occasions when it had all been smoothed over he had simply been hoodwinked like the blind fool that he was. Well, it could not be done again. The end had come the end of love and happiness. He meant to have it over that night, and. waited for her to come in. She entered in better spirits than usual, and came up to him with : "Why, Dick, dear, you look awfully tired! Have you had a hard day?" "Yes," he said, looking- accusingly at her, "the hardest I've ever had in my life. I don't want to ever live through another such a one." She gave him a questioning look', then seeming to think he referred to some trying business, she said : "Now, darling, forget it while I tell you something nice. Oh, I'm so happy over it! You know how I've felt about Ann going over there for a nurse. I just felt as though I'd never see her again. It seemed like a presentiment. And poor Spencer you know she's engaged to him, felt the same way. He wanted her to marry him before she went, but she wouldn't hear to it, and the poor boy came here the other day just frantic, beside himself, begging me to make her change her mind; just as though anyone could make Ann change her mind." "What day was he here?" asked Hooker. She told him a bit wonderingly. It was the day he had overheard. "I didn't tell you," she added, "because you've been so put out with me for feeling so about her going, and I knew you would be dead against poor Spencer, too. You see, they can't carry much baggage with them over there. It has to be light marching order, and Ann, poor dear, brought me a few little treasures she feared to lose. Now I can hand them back, for, what do you think? Since war has been declared by us, Ann thinks her duty lies here with our own men, and she's going to marry Spencer next month. Now, listen. Just to show Spencer how mad she was about him the whole time, I'm going to present him with four letters she gave me to take care of; letters

from him, you know. Won't it be a joke?" Hooker nervously fingered the letters in his pocket and wondered if he could get them back before she missed them. Then he took her in his arms and kissed her in extravagant jubilation over Ann' approaching marriage. Not as Greenas He Seemed. Several young "society girls" of Columbus, Ind., went camping near that city last summer. They wished to do something shockrnjr, so they picked out a young man who was plowing in a neighboring field and "made eyes" at him. The young man blushed and grinned. The girls grinned and blushed. The man was chief engineer of a riding plow and one of the girls asked for permission to ride with him. They had a good time with the supposed young farmer and the field was soon plowed. The girls confided to each other tiiat lie was a very nice fellow, "if he wasn't sp terribly green." The young man didn't seem to have been anywhere and they told him a great deal about the wide, wide world. Recently the girls learned that the "young farmer" lives in a big city, knows all about the white lights and can call show girls by their first names He is a plow salesman and was running the plow just to get some actual experience to use in his selling talk. Indianapolis News. How Fish Are Counted. The Wood river, in Alaska, has been closed to fishing for many years and is resorted to for breeding purposes by red salmon escaping the nets in Nushagak bay. The counting of the salmon was first undertaken in 190$ and has been continued annually since that time except in 1914. ; The counting is made possible by throwing a rack across the stream and ; compelling the fish to pass through a narrow gate where they are easily visible to persons immediately above. Agents of the fisheries bureau in relaj's are kept on duty day and night for the entire period of the run, and the tally Is kept by an automatic counting device manipulated by hand. The highest count for any one day in recent years was 25,554. Old Newspapers in Warfare. In Ttnlv the srnldnrnnrln. nr "ml inn warmer," as It Is called, is composed of old newspapers.

Rapid Evaporation of Water Secret of Success of The -Iceless Refrigerator

rSvl? 4? O rlvi? 4? 4? 4 Milk and other perishable foods can be kept cool and so preserved for considerable periods, even where ice is unobtainable. This can be accomplished by the use of iceless refrigerators, which are dependent on the rapid evaporation of water for the creation of low temperatures. These devices have been perfected by woman demonstrators in extension work, South, of the United States department of agriculture. The iceless refrigerator consists of a wooden frame covered with canton An Iceless Refrigerator. flannel, burlap or heavy duck. It is desirable that the frame be screened, although this is not necessary. Wick.-;, made of the same material as the covering, resting in a pan of water on top of the cooler, conduct the water over the sides and ends of the pan and allow It to seep down the sides of the box. The evaporation from this moistened covering causes a lower I've Wished Time Away. Since I can remember and all through my life, With its pleasures and sorrows, its troubles and strife, There's something we wanted. I must wait day by day, To come by it quickly, I've wished life away. How in my schooldays I envied the men, And wished I were grown up, to be just like them. I was so impatient I could brook no delay; The time passed ,so slowly, I wished life away. When' I grew to a man, and I became married, With a family around me, and life's burden I carried, So hard 'did I labor, I scarcely could stay Till my day's work was done; I wished life away. And now In my eld age I look back with tears On the time that is past, fully three score of years. I'm growing quite feeble, my hair's turned to gray. My race's about run; I've wished life away.

Sir AVilliam M!lligan of the Royal inflrmiiry. Manchester, describes this in the London Lancet. The operation consists in cutting off all the hypertroph! ed tissue, while the nasal passages are kept extended with absorbent wool in order to preserve their contour. The raw surface is covered with two thin grafts of skin cut from the patient's thigh, over which a sheet of gold leaf is placed and a dry dressing fastened with adhesive plaster. It should be possible to remove the dressing in live days. Specification. "Kings In many respects are not like other men." "No; for instance, they can be bald and yet have heirs apparent."

temperature inside. On dry, hot days a temperature of 50 degrees has been known to be obtained in the cooler. This is the way to build it: Make a screened case feet high with the other dimensions 12 by lo inches. If a solid top is used, simply place the water pan on this. Otherwise fit the pan closely Into the opening of the top frame and support It by one-inch cleats fastened to the inside of the frame. Place, two movable shelves In the frame, 12 to 15 inches apart. Use a biscuit pan 12 by 14 inches on the top to hold the water, and where the refrigerator is to be used indoors have the whole thing standing in a large pan to catch any drip. The pans and case may be painted white, allowed to dry, and tlien enameled. A covering of white canton flannel should be made to fit the frame. Have the smooth side out and button the covering on the frame with buggy or automobile curtain hooks and eyes, arranged so that the door may be opened without unfastening these hooks. This can easily be done by putting one row of hooks on the edge of the -door near the latch and the other just opposite the opening, with the hem on each side extended far enough to cover the crack at the edge of the door, so as to keep out the warm, outside air and retain the cooled air. This dress or covering will have to be hooked around the top edge also. Two double strips onehalf the width of each side should be sewed-on the top of each side covering, and allowed to extend over about 2 Mi or 3 Inches in the pan of water. The bottom of the covering should extend Into the lower pan. Place the refrigerator in a shady place, where air will circulate around it freely. If buttons and buttonholes are used on the canton flannel Instead of buggy hooks, the cost will be reduced. Says College Women Will Have Big Part in the Work Of Rebuilding the World Any young woman who neglects the opportunity in this war time to prepare for the rebuilding of the world will be a world slacker, in the opinion of Miss Ada Itice, secretary of the Kansas State Agricultural College Alumni association. Miss Rice points out that at the close of the war there must be a rebuilding of national and International life. This will call for the best qualities of leadership and the best training, and in this work the college woman can play a part of great importance. College women must not wait until the end of the war for service, however, states Miss Itice. "The time Is now at hand," she declares, "when the ; world must depend upon woman for carrying forward progressive movements." She urges college women to take an active Interest and perform active service in the big movements now in progress. Wise and Otherwise. Look out for things that won't bear looking into. Going to law is often a preliminary to going broke. A boy in the schoolroom is worth a dozen in the poolroom. Naturally a man would rather part his hair than part with it. Meet people with a smile unless they want to borrow something. Stocks usually recover from a fall quicker than the speculator does. Even when they weigli their words rash people give short weight. An airplane engine with 12 cylinders has been Invented that makes more than 2,000 revolutions a minute. Three asbestos mines have been opened in China, where extensive deposits of the mineral have been found. 1 Mother's Cook Book M We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harm, which the wise Powers Deny us for our good; so find we profit By losing of our prayers.

The recent advance in price o ninny of the more commonly used metnls has led manufacturers to adopt or consider the adoption of various substitute metals or alloys for certain purposes. The advice of the bureau of standards has frequently been sought In this connection. An interesting field of Investigation is opened up by such inquiries. It appears that the metals traditionally and currently used for various articles are in many casea no better adapted for the purpose than others, and a slight difference In price would warrant a substitution. It is not usually possible, however, to suggest substitutes offhand, as there are many factors Involving manufacturing peculiarities, durability and other physical and chemical properties that. first have to be determined.
