THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, OCT. 10, 1913
Married Life the Second Year By MABEL HERBERT URNER. Warren E. Curtis, Broad Street, New York City, New York. Helen is very ill. Come at once. M. G. Allen. This was the telegram which Helen's father, Dr. Allen, had sent. And he had pent it without Helen's knowledge. Fcr, although she had now been very ill for over a week, she still persistently rtft!sed to let them send for Warren. Only she knew the cause of her illness that midnight walk in the yard with only her bedroom slippers and a light wrap over lifr night gown. And when f,he had come in, and was feelinc, her way through the hall in the dark, her groping hand had touched the telephone. And, at that moment had come the wild impulse to call up Warren in New York. She did not stop to think of the cost nor of anything except that the could end her suspense. For over a half hour she had stood there, shivering in the dark until Central could make the connection. And then, at last, she had heard Warren's faint "Hello" and when she asked wildly what was the matter why hadn't he written why hadn't she heard him so long he cut her off, furious that she should have gone to the extra expense of this long distance call. FELL SOBBING ON THE FLOOR. And she had fallen sobbing on the hall floor beneath the telephone, and crouched there in the dark, too wretched to move. When, at length she groped her way up the stairs, she had thrown herself on the bed by the window, still in the dew drenched gown. The next morning she had had a blinding headache and a high fever. And yet she had risen with the determination to go down to the telephone office and pay for her midnight call to New York, so it would'nt be put on her father's bill. They would then, never know that she had been desper
ate enough to try to reach Warren in this way. If she could only go before breakfast, before any one taw her and realized how ill she was. She had slipped on her hat atd coat and hurried down stairs, called out to her mother who was in the dining room. "I'm going for a little walk before breakfast. I'll be back in fifteen or twenty minutes." But as she started out she had met her father on the porch. In one glance he had seen something was wrong. "Why, Helen, what's the matter?" "Nothing, only I didn't sleep very well, and I thought I'd go for a walk before breakfast." "But you are sick! You're not able to go out. Come here and let me see you!" "Oh, no; I'll feel better when I get a little air." THEN THE NERVE BROKE. But he had taken one of her hands and looked at her closely. Then he had put her to bed and installed her mother as nurse. Before night her fever had been 104. The next day she had been worse. And when he iad wanted to send for Warren she had refused to let him. It was not, until now, the eighth day of her illness that he had telegraphed for Warren without her knowledge. He had sent the message about seven in the morning. At three o'clock came this reply: Dr. M. G. Allen, Cartertown, Mo. Is my coming imperative? Almost impossible to leave now. Write if condition is critical. WARREN E. CURTIS. With a muttered oath Dr. Allen gazed at the telegram in his hand. That Helen's husband should have sent such an answer! Hurriedly he wrote this reply: Warren E. Curtis Broad street. New York City, New York. Helen critically ill. Your place Is here. Drop everything. Come. M. G. Allen. Mrsllen came in just then and ...saylne crumpled telegram on the table before him. "From Warren?" tremously, as she picked it up. He nodded. She read it and laid it down with a sigh. "I was afraid so. Can't you see that's why she didn't want you to send for him?" "Then the man's a brute. No -decent man would refuse to come to his wife under such circumstances. "Martin, I'm afraid" Mrs. Allen hesitated. "I'm afraid Helen is making you believe she's more ill than she is just so you will send for him." THE TELEPHONE SECRET OUT. The doctor paced up and down the sitting room, his brows knit. Then, noting Tom , had laid on the table, the mail, he absently looked It over. This was the first of the month, and there were a number of bills. As he tore open one from the local telephone company he was amazed to find an item for $6.50 longdistance service to New York, May 25th, 11:45 p. m. He gazed at it in astonishment. Th'ere must be some mistake. And then flashed a thought could it be Helen? The night of May 25th! And it was the morning after that Helen had been taken ill. Just then Mrs. Allen passed the door. "Mother, come here a minute," handing her the telephone bill. "Do you know anything about this long distance message at midnight. May 25th? That was the night before Helen was taken ill. Could she have called up Warren, then!" i 4 , A startled loolcaroused Mrs. Allen's face. "Oh. that explains it and I thought it was a dream." "Thought what a dream?" "Why. I know now that I heard her talking to Warren over the telephone. I must have been half asleep for I heard only vaguely. Warren Warren Why haven't you written? What had been the matter? 1 remembered it the next morning, but thought of course, I had dreamed it." "Then that nui-U have been why she wanted to po out so early that morning. She wanted to pay for this New York Call so we would not know. You remember how she insisted on going even thoueh she was hardlv able to eland?" Mrs. Allen nodded. Yes, I remember, and I'm afraid or Helen has been very unhappy, more unhappy than we know. Oh, I fear there is many things in her married life that we do not know."
