Married Life the Second Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Now don't be foolinh! Go on If they .fant you to," urged Warren. "Wilson ind I want to play out our match of flliards." Helen stood, reluctantly. "Oh, but Vu know I don't like to go without "That's absurd. You've been in all Jay tho air'll do you good." "Come on," cried the Stevenses ho were already out in the car. "Mr. Summers will take rare of you if your Husband don't come." Helen hurried down the path to the iraiting car. "I believe you're to sit back here ivith me," said .Mr. Summers, as he sprang out to help her in. "Hadn't I better get you a heavier wrap? Will that thin one be enough?" "Oh, yen, quite enough," as she seated herself back in the wide leather leat. Mr. Summers was a cousin of the Stevenses and had been at the hotel Tor some time. Helen knew that he admired her. Her woman's intuition told her that. He had formed one of Iheir party for a number of rides and outings and had been particularly attentive to her. Often when Warren, with his usual Indifference had left her to look after herself, it was Mr. Summers who had hurried to help her in and out of the car, and in many ways had been solicitous about her comfort. Helen had shrunk from these little attentions because they seemed only to emphasize Warren's neglect. That anyone else should have to look after her when her husband was present seemed but a direct reflection on him. And now as they sped through the night over the smoothly ioled roads, with Mr. Summers beside her in the Beclusion of the deep back seat, Helen was conscious that by his very silence he was in some way creating between them a curious sense of intimacy. There is nothing more subtle, nothing that can be made more pregnant with meaning than a conscious silence. Now and then a sudden jar of the machine swayed her toward him and she was conscious of his arm against hers and conscious of his consciousness of it. She tried to think of something to eay something simple and natural anything to break the silence, that grew more and more insistent. "All the roads are so well kept here," she murmured at length. "I wonder how often they oil them." But the remark was so banal and its purpose so obvious that it only increased her discomfort. And when he answered : "Every few days, I suppose," and then offered no further comment, the silence was more pronounced than ever. Helen was intensely glad when a little farther on, they stopped at' a road house. She sprang out quickly without giving Mr. Summers a chance to help her. "Let's take a table out here on the porch," suggested Mrs. Stevens "It looks so hot and stuffy inside. Isn't that red wallpaper horrible? The porch was lit only by the light that shone through the window. Helen would rather have gone inside, when the bright lights would have helped to dispel this atmosphere of subtle romance that Mr. Summers was deliberately trying to throw about her. "Wait Stevens, I'm doing this," and Mr. Summers promptly beckoned the waiter and gave the order. "Now are you sure you won't have a sandwich or a salad," he asked leaning toward Helen who had ordered only a claret lemonade. She shook her head. "No, that is all I care for." "Oh, I forgot your footstool!" as the waiter disappeared "I'm afraid I'm not taking such very good care of you after all." "Oh, I don't need a footstool for the few moments we'll be here, answered Helen, keenly conscious of his inti

mate tone and yet not knowing how to resent it. They had all dined together several times, and when he found she always wanted a footstool and that Warren had usually left it for her to ask for, he had been quick to procure one, surreptitiously tipping the waiter for bringing It. Each time Helen had secretly resented that anyone should need to look after her when her husband was present, but Warren had not seemed to even notice it. The Stevenses were absorbed in the discussion of the new apartment they were leasing this fall. And Helen seem ed fo murli alone with Mr. Summers as she had been on the back seat of the oar. She was more and more angry with herself for the self-consciousness she seemed unable to throw off. In some subtle way he was making her keenly conscious of his every movement and of every inflection of his voice. Oh, why had Warren not come with them? Why had he insisted on her coming alone? There was nothing in this that she could tell him; it was all too subtle for that. And yet she knew she never wanted to be with Mr. Summers alone again. When they went back to the car he helped her in and insisted that she put on her wrap. He held it for her and drew it slowly and carefully about her shoulders. It had been rather a cloudy uncertain night when they started. And now to Helen's dismay it began to sprinkle. "Want the curtains up back there," asked Mr. Stevens. "Oh, no no, it's only a few drops and I love to feel it against my face," answered Helen quickly, feeling that to be shut in back there by the rain curtains would only add to the intimacy of it all. "But I can't have you getting wet and taking cold," protested Mr. Summers. Helen felt her face flush at the propriety words, "I cannot have you" but there was nothing she could say. The few heavy drops had now changed to a fine misty rain. "Now I must insist on having the curtains up," as he leaned over and felt the shoulder of her wrap which were now quite damp. Helen could only submit. Mr. Stevens stopped the car and came back to get the curtains which were under their seat. When the curtains were fastened in place, it left them in complete darkness there in that deep back seat. Helen felt as though she was shut in with him from all the world. As they sped back to the hotel through the now beating rain, Mr. Summers felt the shoulders of her wrap, and the fastening of the curtain beside her, for she had shrunk over to the extreme end of the seat. "Isn't the rain coming in through the opening here," he said. "Come over this way more. I'm sure you're getting wet." A sudden crash of thunder and dazzling glare as the lightning swept before them. Helen gave a little cry. Instantly Mr. Summers' hand covered hers. "You're not frightened are you?" "Oh no no," quickly withdrawing

her hand. "It was absurd of me to scream." j "It was very natural," he answered I gently, with a caressing note in his ; voice which mad her cheeks burn hotjiy. j At last they drew up before the hoI tel. Hardly waiting to say good-night, I Helen flew up the path, across the I veranda and up to her room Warren j was in bed, his arms flung up over

his head, fast asleep. Noiselessly she sank into a chair beside him. With a sigh of relief and happiness, very softly, without waking him, she rested her head on his pillow. The unwanted and distasteful attentions of another man always make a woman turn clingingly to the man she loves. To Helen the whole evening had boon hateful. And now as she was with Warren again, she was filled with a delicious sense of peace, of security, of being where she belonged.
