in !g after Helen's Return. Thr ir firs; d out very iia-ij) had been radian I: the dinner at the evening had turnall. Helen 1! through ly alter :a:: : Ca!.- and then had come the drive home in the taxicab, which Warren had insisted on in spite of her protest at the expense. And it had been a beautiful drive leaning back in the ear with Warren's arm about her, and her hand held close to his, and they whirled through the brilliantly lighted streets. And this morning when he started, for the office, he kissed her very tenderly. "Sow. don't work too hard, Kitten. Rein em her you're not strong yet It won't matter if you don't jet everything straightened out today. And if Delia doesn't come in time don't try to fcet dinner, here, we'll no out again. Taking oft' the pretty morning kowii she had put on for Warren's benefit, he slipped into an old house dress and bean a general "straightening up." Warren had sent Delia a special delivery letter last night to "come at once." Hut as Delia lived in Jersey she probably wouldn't get here before noon. And in one way Helen was glad to be alone thiis morning. The wonder of being with Warren again, the joy of loving him, and feeling that for the time at least he loved her very deariy, seemed so beautiful and intimate that for a little while jme wanted to he herself. Before she really started to work fhc nave herself up to the luxury of wandering around about his room, rearranging his clothes. just, for the pleasure of touching them. She went all through his chiffonier, putting fresh white paper in the bottom of the drawers and sorting underwear and collars. There were a few new shirts and ties that he had bought while she was away. But some of the old ones were missing. His suit case vas gone too, and she knew that he had taken some of his linen to his mother'?-., whore he had been stayine. Some how she was jealous of the thc.ueht that any of his clothes should r anywhere but here that anyone !s" shouid have the privilege of handlint ilifiii. She laid aside some of hia lie.", which needed pressing and there v ere a couple of white waist coats, that nii;st go to the laundry. H Is new that there was much work and cleaning in the apartment that was far ruoiv urgent than going over his clothes just now. But somehow she could not leave his room. It had been so long since she had seen anything of his that just the handling of these things thrilled her with a sense of her wifehood. She lingered over the making up of his bed even the sheets and pillowcases she smoothed o;er lovingly because of their nearness to him, and once she stooped over and softly brushed her cheek against the pillow where hia head had lain. When at. last she was reluctantly leaving the room, having put everything in perfect order, for just a moment she buried her face in his bath robe which lay over the back of a chair. Then she began straightening her own room. The whole apartment was dusty from being closed. All morning she swept and dusted and polished brass and silver, forgetting fatigue in her eagerness to have everything bright and shining when War ten came home. There is nothing that gives a real woman more happiness than working for the man she loves. And now in an old house gown, a towel about her head to protect her hair, her sleeves up above her elbows, Helen was supremely happy. It was after one before Delia came. There was a ring at the door and when Helen onened it. there stood De lia, her telescope in one hand, a fat j bulging bundle in the other, and her ltindly face beaming under a new hat gay with flowers. "And you're working yourself to death already," she scolded after the first greeting. "Von look clean tuckered out. Why didn't you let the things be til! 1 got here. "Oh, but Delia, there was so much to do! The whole place was dirty. You wouldn't hae lime to do it all and Set dinner, too. And we'll have to order a lot of groceries, there's hardly anything here." "All right, you make out a. list of things, and then you just lie down and rest." Helen sat on the flour bin in the pantry while she made on the list. She read it out for Delia's approval. "Now is that all Delia? Can you think of anything we'll need? Von tniow I want this to be a particularly nice dinner, because it's our first at home." "If you want mayonnaise dressing for that asparagus, we'll have to get some lemons. You know Mr. Curtis doesn't like it with vinegar." '"Oh. that's so: we must have lem ons." and she added half a dozen to the list. "Now. what else what else, Delia?" "I don't think of nothing just now." "Well. I guess that's all. Now, Delia, you'd better take this over to McCarthy's yourself. 1 want you to se10 CEKT "CASCARETS" STRAIGHTEN YOU UP When Headachy, Bilious, Constipated, Stomach Sour, Bad Breath.

Dream of Construction of Panama

"If there was a way by water," said the Forty-niners, "we could A1,L get there." They said it in the mire and the miasma of the Rlack Swamp, now Gatun Lake. They said it by the Chagres banks in the hot season, when death, grim and dreadful, marched as corporal of the guard. They said it. climbing the Little Divide, the neck vertabrae of the Sierras. They, the dreamers of gold; they, the darers of the unknown; they were the men who first planned the Panama canal. Morgan, the buccaneer; Vernon, the brave, might have thought dimly of the thing, as a way out, as an escape from, not as a way TO. Rut to them, to any who lived with them, it was impossible. But on the mule-back trail, astride the burro, toiling behind the pack train, striding through the deep ruts, and the sticky adobe of the road that marked the way of the freighters, where swarmed (and died) the thousands rushing to the gold fields of California, was born the colossal 1DKA. ENTER THE ASPINWALLS. Then came Aspinwall, the intrepid. Three generations had built up to this man. His grandfather had followed the sea and had dreamed of conquest of foreign lands and foreign markets. i led the cantaloupes. arren is so particular about them. If McCarthy hasn't any first-class ones go to the fruit store on the corner. And tell McCarthy to send the other things right over." When, a little later. Delia returned, the grocer's boy, with a large basket full, came with her. "I made him send them right up so we'd have everything here in time. Here's the cantaloupes, ma'am aren't they tine ones. "Oh. yes, they are fine!" answered Helen delighted. "Now put them in the ice box right away. And. oh, that's such nice asparagus! Oh, it's going to be a lovely dinner! And you'll do your very best, won't you. Delia. "Course I will. Now just you go and lie down and take a nap and get good and rested before Mr. Curtis comes." "But Delia you've got the dining room and the kitchen to clean; you can't do that and get dinner, too." "Oh. yes. I can. It's only half past two; I've plenty of time. Now if you don't lie down as 1 tell you you'll be sick." ominously. Helen finally obeyed. Leaving everything to Delia, she slipped out of her working dress, took a warm bath and lay down in a cool loose gown to rest. Delia had promised to awaken her at 4 o'clock which would give her time to dress herself and Winifred before Warren came. And so she fell happily asleep, picturing their dinner and their long happy evening at home together. ; MASONIC CALENDAR Monday, October 20 Richmond Commandery, No. 8, K. T. Drill.

Rut my heart's laced with cracks, And turned with inward tears to dough! His father had owned the ships and made ventures that built up the Aspinwall fortune. William H. Aspinwall was born and bred in New York. He profited by the courage and the foresight of both ancestors. When, from the skeleton-bordered trail, marked by the bones of some of those who had gone before, a cry went up for a way, it was Aspinwall who heard. He had been a clerk, but he knew how to command. So one year after the first rush to California, in 1850, Aspinwall told two friends, Henry Chauncey and John L. Stephens, of his plan to cross the Isthmus. He already had in mind a waterway. When Aspinwall reached the Isthmus and ventured into that endless, terrible morass he was convinced that a canal was impossible. But the idea was fixed. Out of it came the first, railroad across Panama. It was pushed to completion with unexampled speed, backed from the start by Aspinwall and his two business associates. It was said that every tie on the railroad stood as a tally for the death of a man. This was not true quite, for there were 300.000 ties. From the start the railroad succeeded wonderfully. Aspinwall was able to retire in 1856.

Wooden Shoes Made In the United States

In this country beech is the favorite material for wooden shoes, the manufacture of which has reached considerable proportions in the United States according to the department of agriculture, which has just issued a bulletin on the use of the wood. These shoes, the department says, cost from '50 to 75 cents a pair and are good for two years. They are worn by those who have to work in cold or wet places, such as tanneries, breweries, and livery stables, and by workmen in steel mills and glass factories who must walk on hot grates or .floors. Farmers, too, are classed among the users. Beechwood is put to a very wider rana1 of uses than the average person would be likely to suspect. The department says beech enters into hundreds of articles from hobby horse rockers to butchers' blocks. We walk on beech floors, eat off beech picnic plates, carry beech baskets, play with beech tops, sit on beech chairs, and in dozens of other ways use articles made of beech almost every day of our lives. Its freedom from taste "fits the wood especially for articles which come in contact with foodstuffs, and beech meat boards, skewers, lard tubs, butter boxes, sugar hogsheads, refrigerators, dishes, spoons and scoops are widely used. Only one species of beech grows naturally in the United States, but fewtrees in this country have a wider commercial range. It extends from tie Gulf of M;"i irt0 astern Can-

Jack Frost holds the center of the stage in his widely known magician's act of turning all green things into red and gold. He got the spotlight yesterday and his advance agent, the weather man, says he will hold it for some time to come. In preparation for the change of bill the park board is digging up all its flowr and shrub bulbs. They are summer and fall properties and will not be needed again until the road seeasons opens next spring. Patrons of Nature's changing show will net fail to be in their seats for the ! great act that will ring down the cur- ' tain this month. To many it is the most spectacular act on the season's ! entire bill. The best of critics say, for j instance, that Richmond's famous j lawns never looked better than at present. The Vivacious Grass. The fiery breath of the long summer drought withered the grass, but could not kill it. With the first rains of September it began to revive and ada, and in practically every place w here it grows it is cut for market. ! The total yearly output of beech wood : in the United States is apprximately 500 million board feet. i Siam exports about nine million dollars worth of teak a year.

When this i tube is inflamed you have a rumbling 1 sound or imperfect hearing, and wheu it is entirely closed. Deafness is the re- ; suit, and unless the inflamation can , be taken out and this tube restored to ! its normal condition, hearing will be i destroyed forever; nine cases out of i ten are caused by Catarrh, w hich is nothing but an inflamed condition of I the mucous surfaces, j We will give One Hundred Dollars I for any case of Deafness (caused by j catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall'a j Catarrh Cure.
