Married Life the Second Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. Helen opened the door to a messenger boy with a covered basket. "Mrs. Warren Curtis?" he asked. Helen nodded. "Sign here, please." "Hut what is it I'm not expecting mything." "I don't know, ma'am," the boy grinned. "I wa.s told to handle it right carefully that's all." Before she could question him further he had gone. As Helen took up the basket there was a curious little sound from inside and then a distinct "meow." Hurriedly she loosened the cover, a tiny gray paw reached up and then, with a bound a fluffy little Persian kitten jumped out. For a moment it seemed bewildered, then it ran under the couch. In the basket was a small envelope. Helen tore it open: "Pussy Purrmew for Winifred Curtis." A kitten for Winifred. But who had tent it? There was no name on the card. Stooping down, Helen drew out from under the frightened ball of fur end cuddled it lovingly. "Oh, you dear little thing." The kitten purred and rubbed against her. A tiny collar was around its neck, with a silver bangle on which was engraved "Pussy Purr-mew." "Pussy Purr-mew Pussy Purr-mew! Helen repeated it alound. "What a dear name for a kitten." Then she took it in to Winifred, who was playing with a small wooly sheep on rollers. At first she seemed afraid, tfcn with a gurgling laugh she put out her hand and stroked its soft fur. But the kitten was still shy, and it struggled away and ran under the bod. Again Helen went back to the basket and shook out the piece of pink canton flannel that lay in the bottom, hoping to find some clew as to who had sent it, but there was none. Who could it have been? Certainly none of Warren's people, for they disapproved of children having live pets. "Delia." Helen called into the kitchen, "bring me a naucer of milk. There's a little kitten in here, that someone has sent Winifred." DELIA LIKES IT. "A kitten!" Delia came to the door in astonishment. "Oh, aint it a purty one?'' My, what long hair I aint never seen one like that." She brought the milk and the kitten lapped it up eagerly, and then proceeded to wash its paws and face with the gravest kitten dignity. Helen found a piece of pale blue ribbon and tied a butterfly bow on its collar. "Oh, you dear. soft, fluffy, furry little thing?" as she put t'.ia kitten on a chair and adjusted tht how. Hut could she k"ep it? Would Warren let her? She knew he had never approved of pets in an apartment. It was; a very valuable kitten. Its long fur am! fluffy tail proclaimed that. And if fho couldn't keep it what would she do with it? Since she did not know from whom it came she could not return it. Meanwhile the kitten went to sleep on the chair, trnrtfully unconscious of the uncertainty of its future. It. was later than usual when Warren came home .and Helen could see that ln was not in the best of humor. She had lived a box for the kitten in the nursery, and now she shut it up in there, not wanting him to see it until after he had his dinner, hoping he would feel more kindly inclined. "Steven's a fool." he declared, as he watched Helen break open a large baked potato and fit it for him with butter, salt and paprika. "You know I warned him not to go into that Lewison deal, and now the bottom's dropped out of the whole thing, just as I said it would." "And he lost what he put in" asked Helen, pushing the potato toward him. "Of course he lost what he put in over five thousand." digging into the potato with his fork. "Perhaps you'll want a little more paprika, dear, that's stronger than any we've had ami I was afraid I'd get too much. "And now the whole concern is down and out," he went on, ignoring her comment. "And it serves them right they were crooked from the start, and I told Stevens all long. See here, is this all the bread you've got? IVhat about that whole-wheat bread you ordered?" "They didn't deliver it today T don't know why. I'll 'phone thpm in the morning." "Well, if they won't deliver it promptly, get it from some place that will. I'm sick and tlr?d of this French bread." After dinner Warren settled down with his papers by the reading lamp in the sitting room. Helen put Winifred to sleep and then came out with her sewing leaving the nursery' door open for the kitten to follow. She had resolved not MOTHER! IS CHILD'S ST0MACHS0UR. SICK? If Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give "California Syrup of Figs. Don't scold your fretful, peevish child. See if tongue Is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, and bowels are clogged with waste. When listless, pale, feverish of cold, breath bad. throat liver our full sore. doesn t eat. sleep or act naturally has Ftomach ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs." and in a few hours all the foul waste, the sour bile and fermenting food passes out of the bowels and you have a well and playful child again. Children love this harmless "fruit laxative." and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because fails to make their little clean and sweet. Keep it handy. Mother! it never "insides" A little given today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-ceat bottle of "California Syrup of Figs." which has directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Remember there are counterfeits sold here, so surely look and see that yours is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company." Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup. Adv,
