Married Life the Third Year

: BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. " Helen awoke with a start. What was It? Where had that noise come from? Something had been knocked down or stumbled over. She eat up in bed listening tensely and quivering with the tremulous fear that comes with any such awakening. Then came the sound of something moving steadily in the dining room. Then again that cautious, creeping sound. Someone was there! The Silver! All the accounts of burglaries and housebreaking that had filled the papers lately flashed before her. Warren! Warren! In her fear, as at all times, her mind leapt to him. If he was only here! If she called who would hear her? The adjoining apartment was vacant, and they oould not hear across the hall. The telephone! But the telephone was in the next room. The burglar would hear her run to it and would strangle her into silence before she could call. Another stealthy movement from the dining room! With her heart in her throat she leaped out of bed, snatched her dressing gown from a chair as she passed and flew out into the hall. Down two flights of stair3 with fearful glances over her shoulder before she paused to ring wildly the elevator bell. But by chance the elevator was just coming up with a passenger, a Mr. Bennett, whom Helen recognized as living on the floor above. Both he and the elevator boy stared at her wonderfngly. "Oh, there's a man in my apartment," she gasped. "Quick quick he's in the dining room!" Mr. Bennett, who was in evening Jres8, gripped his cane and started up the stairs. Leaving the elevator where It was, they all three ran up the steps. Mr. Bennett started to open the door then hesitated. "These fellows are pretty desperate sometimes. Guess I'd better get my revolver." Wait here a moment, starting to dash up to his apartment on the floor above. : But Helen and the elvator boy, with visions of a black-masked desperado, darting upon them, dashed after him. In a second Mr. Bennett had his revolver and they were all running down the stairs again. Cautiously opening the door, with the revolver in one hand and his stick tightly gripped in the other, Mr. Bennett paused on the threshold. ; Nothing greeted him but darkness and silence. , "The button to switch on the liffht Is right here to your left, whispered Helen. Cautiously he stepped inside and switched on the light. It lit up th hall and part of the front room but the dining room lay in darkness beyond. Helen was waiting for Mr. Bennett to stride into the dining room, collar the black-mashed ruffian and drag him out. But it seemed that such a course of action was not in Mr. Bennett's mind. Just then came the sound of the same stealthy movement from the darkness of the dining-room. "There don't you hear that?" whispered Helen. It was plain that Mr. Bennett had heard, but it was also plain that he

Carraboa dinner incident, was approved today by President Wilson. He took this action on recommendation of Secretary of War Garrison and Secretary of the Navy Danie'.ds. His letter to the two secretaries follows in part: "The officers who were responsible for the program of the evening are certainly deserving of a very serious reprimand which I hereby request be administered and I cannot rid myself of a fueling of great disappointment that the gerferal body of officers assembled at the dinner should have greeted the carrying out of such a program with apparent indifference to the fact that it violated some of the most dignified and sacred traditions of the service."

was not going to risk his life by encountering a desperate burglar in a darkened room. "You run down and phone to the police," he whispered to the elevator boy, who was hovering wide-eyed in background. "I'll see that he doesn't get away before they get here." Again came the stealthy sound from the dining-room. Now it seemed coming nearer! It was coining nearer. Mr. Bennett grasped tighter the revolver and cane, but at the same time took a step backward. Then through the open folding doors of the diningroom and into the front room which was dimly lit by the light from the hall something was slowly, cautiously moving towards them. At first Helen thought it was the creeping figure of a man. But as it came nearer their astonished gaze saw only Winifred's high chair coming slowly across the room. But a sit moved alone the apparition was as terrifying as would have been the most formidable crouching burglar. The chair was not upright, It was turned over, on it's face as It were, and was slowly, surely moving nearer. Suddenly Helen, with a hysterical shrieking laugh, pushed Mr. Bennett aside and darted into the room. Picking up the chair she disclosed entangled in the tray and crib poor frightened little Pussy Purrmey! It was absurdly clear now. The crash which awakened her had been the falling chair that in some way the kitten had knocked over. As the chair was very light and a little unsteady on its tall, slender legs, she had probably become entangled with Winifred's bib. It had fallen on her, the tray and seat and arms forming a cage from which she could not escape, hut which had been light enough for her to drag along. When Helen turned back to the door, Mr. Bennett had disappeared. And she could only imagine his chagrin that he had been so intimidated and held at bay by Pussy Purrmey! 'You poor little thing," taking up the kitten, who, glad of her release, nestled lovingly in Helen's arms purring her content. When Helen once more crept back into bed, she lay there in the dark thinking of the absurdity of it all. How foolishly terrified she had been. And Mr. Bennett! After all not much courage is expected of a woman, but a man! And again her thoughts turned to Warren and what HE would have done. She lay there smiling into the darkness as she pictured just how it would have been had he been there. She would probably have awakened him with a startled "Warren, Warren, some one's in the dining room!" And he would have turned over, indifferently and grunted a sleepy "Huh?" And then when she insisted that there was some one there and he had heard the stealthy sound, promptly he would have lept out of bed and strode unarmed into the dining room, muttering some oath and an assurance that "he won't be there long!" Helen laughed softly to herself as she proudly drew this picture of Warren's bravery. And then she thought with almost contempt of Mr. Bennett, standing grimly at the door, a cane in one hand and a revolver in the other, waiting tensely until Pussy Purrmew dragged Winifred's high chair into view.

And so this incident, as did almost i every other, served only to enhance : Warren's memory in Helen's idealiz- !

ing mind. Every man she met was al-1 PRESIDENT APPROVES

suffered by the comparison. And all this only goes to prove what a very foolish, adoring "one-ideaed" little woman is Helen.

Rheumatic Cripple Cured. Mr. Frank H. Kogera, of Momenoe, El., writes : "I take pleasure in highly recommend ing Dr. Jones' Liniment. A year ago I was obliged to use crutches, having been crippled with rheumatism. Doctors ailed to help me. Various remedies did no good. I used several bottles of Dr. Jones Liniment and recovered so fully that I went back to my old job of firing a locomotive. Dr. Jones' Liniment is also excellent for neuralgia." Here is a man who Buffered great pain, and was unable to work, which would discourage most anybody. How many men and women are there, who finding no relief after trying two or three remedies give up in despair, and make life unpleasant for themselves and those around them ? Such

was not the case with Mr. Rogers. He I

kept on trying until he finally got the right medicine and was cured. Dr. Jones' Liniment will do the same for you. Sold by A. G. Luken & Co., Fosler Drug Co., J. A. Conkey Drug Co., C. Thistlethwaite, and All Druggists.
