THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, DEC. 18, 1913

Married Life the Third Year

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. Warren had promised to come home early. His train left at 11:44 and Helen had hoped he could spend part of the afternoon as well as the evening with her. But it was after 6 when he came. "Couldn't get here any earlier," as he shrugged out of the overcoat. "Things came piling in at the last moment they always do. Got the trunk packed" "Yes, dear, it's all ready. "Let's have a look at it. Here's the papers I want put in," taking up a package he had brought from the office. Helen followed him into the bedroom and watched anxiously as he took out the tray of the neatly packed trunk. "What's this you've got here?" "Oh, that's your chest protector. I thought you might save some very cold weather out there. "All right. But here, this isn't the way to pack a coat," taking it out and refolding it. "Where's that other grey suit?" "Why, I didn't put that in, dear. I didn't know you'd want so many. Will you be gone long enough to need " "Don't know how long I'll be gone. How many times must I tell you that? But I'm going to take that grey suit. Bring it here and I'll put it in right now. WARREN PACKS UP. From the depths of his closet Helen brought out the grey suit. He took it from the hanger, folded it up and packed it tightly in the trunk. Warren had strong, capable hands. He could always pack a trunk or tie up a package in more "ship shape fashion, and with more dispatch and precision than any one else. While Helen had packed the trunk neatly, things were laid in "flat." And now he took most of them out, rolled them up tight and fitted them in. "Now, how about thistray?" setting it back in the trunk and glancing over it hurriedly. "You haven't left room enough for those papers they've got to go in here. Wait, these handkerchiefs can go on top of the ties, and that collar box on this side. There, that fits in all right. Now hand me those papers. Helen gave him the package of papers and he fitted them in where the collar box had been. "Now, that's better" slamming down the lid. "I'll pack that suit case after dinner. By George, I'm tired," taking off his coat and throwing himself on the couch with a yawn. "It's been a blamed hard day. Turn out the light there, and I'll see if I can't get a nap before dinner." Helen turned out the light, threw a steamer rug over him and quietly left the room. And this was his last evening with her. In a few hours he would be on his way to California and yet he was spending a part of these precious few hours in sleeping. She went out to see about the dinner. It was to be a very special dinner tonight, of the dishes which Warren particularly liked, and the table was set with the best china and silver. But he would probably not notice the table any more than he I. ad noticed the little blue gown Helen was wearing, the one he had once said he liked best. He had hardly looked at her when be came in.

"It's all ready, ma'am. Shall I serve !

it now?" asked Delia. "No, wait a few moments, Delia. Mr. Curtis is so tired; he's laid down for a little nap, and I know he won't want to be awakened so soon. "Dinner won't be good if it stands,"

grumbled Delia. "The time to serve things is when they're ready." In a few moments Helen stole quietly back Into the room where Warren lay. One hand was under his head, and the other fell limply over the side of the couch. His hair was rumpled and

his face was slightly flushed with sleep. AWAKENING WARREN. Very softly she moved over to the couch and knelt down beside him. It was time to awaken him, but she wanted him this way, for a few moments, all to herself. She always felt very near him when he was asleep. There is a certain helplessness and boyishness about a strong man when he sleeps that always appeals to the mother-love in the woman that loves him. And now very softly Helen touched her lips to his shoulder then to his hair. To her his hair always seemed to hold a fragrance all its own. Then as he did not stir, very, very gently she kissed his neck and then his forehead. How long would it be before she would see him again like this? Desperately she tried to hold the moments, to fix in her mind every outline of his face and form as he lay there, so she could the more vividly have him with her in the long weeks he would be away. And his warm sleeping breath against her cheek, and the feel of the rough cloth of his coat and the silky softness of his tie she knew how it would all be with her, how she would live it all over again and again. Suddenly he opened his eyes, stared at Helen, then yawned and stretched Disarms. "Um-m-m. How long have 1 been asleep?" "About twenty minutes, dear. Dinner's waiting now. "All right," drowsily closing his eyes. "Oh, but Warren, you musn't go to sleep again." It's after seven and you've got your suit case to pack after dinner." With another prolonged yawn he sat up, stretching his arms and bringing

j them back to his shoulders with a I dumb-bell motion. j "Jove, I was tired." j "Oh, dear, do let me purr over you ' a moment it may be so long before

I can again. "Well, there's not much time for

! purring now," looking at his watch and

then getting up In spite of her protesting arms. "I've ordered a cab for eleven that train leaves at 11:44. Helen forced herself to mince over the dinner, but the little she ate almost choked her. She sat facing the clock on the dining room mantel. The

j minute hand seemed almost to fly I around and each moment brought ' nearer the dreaded hour. I She had resolved that even at the parting she would keep back the tears She would not cling to him, not let I him see how fearfully she dreaded the ! separation. Not only did he hate a i "scene," as he would call it, but she j did not want him to carry away the j vision of red eyes and a swollen, tear- ! stained face. She had determined, too, that she j would not ask him how often he would I write. It always irritated him for her

to try to pin him down to any promises, and she knew nothing she could say would make him write a single letter more than he felt inclined. And yet when she was helping him pack the suit case, she could cot keep back the question. "Dear, you'll write very ofen won't you?" "Often as I can." "You know how anxious I'll be when I don't hear." "Well, I'm going on a business trip, you know. 111 have something to de besides writing letters." "But, if you could only write just a line say every other day," knowing how unwise was her persistence, yet not being unable to control it. "Now see here," he began harshly, but waa interrupted by the telephone. "That's the taxicab now, as he went to answer it. "Oh, no, it's too early it CAN'T be! cried Helen, excitedly, panic stricken that the moment of parting had come so soon. "That's just what it is," putting up

the receiver, and turning hurriedly to lock and strap the suit case. In a moment the driver came up for the trunk and dragged it noisily out to the elevator. Warren was already getting into his overcoat. Now that the time had come Helen could cnly stand by looking helplessly on. When he came over to kiss her, she clung to him silently. "Goodby, dear. Don't look so tragic about it. The time will pass quickly I'll only be gone a few weeks. Take care of yourself be a good girl. Goodby. He started toward the door. She was standing motionless where he had left

her. With his hand on the know he paused, then turned, putting down his suit case. With a little cry 8n was in . his arms again. ' "There, there. Kitten. I'll be back ' before you know it." And then halfreluctantly. yet moved to make some

concessions at parting. "I'll write of ten. dear every other day."

IF BACK HURTS USE SALTS FOR KIDNEYS

Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead or Bladder bothers you Meat forms uric acid.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders. You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidney's and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications. A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.
