PAGE EIGHT

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. The envelope hart only the check and a blank sheet of paper! The par per was folded about the check so It rould not show through. But there "was not one word of writing. And last week it had been the fame just the weekly check and the "blank paper. Helen had tried to think then that it was a mistake or that Tie had been hurried but now she knew it was deliberate. And to Helen that blank sheet of paper was more terrifying than the most wrathful letter. So this was to be her punishment. This was AVarren'H answer to the letter in which she had refused to send Mrs. Morrison away, insisting that she could see no reason why she should not rent the spare room while he was gone. That had been three weeks ago and not one word had he written her since. Just the two checks with the blank sheets of paper. It was the first time she had deliberately refused to obey him and he was punishing her with silence. And to a sensitive, imaginative mind nothing can he more cruel than silence. There was nothing he could have written over which she would have anguished more. For whatever he might writ.: at least the MEDI-

ATK thing. And to telepxaph was she Buffeted from imagining every possible thing. And was this silence to continue'' "Was this )1k way lu- was to force her to submission? Was ie to receive next week's check with a blank sheet of paper and the week after that? Van lie going to keep this up until she wrote that she would do as he wished? Or what was more appalling still was he never going to write her again was he never coming back. Before night Helen had worked herself into a state of feverish anxiety. It was her nature that when she brooded Ion;-; enough over anything she lost all sense of proportion. The thing about which she was worrying became distorted and exaggerated and assumed an importance out of all reason, so now she brooded over this blank sheet of paper until the fear of It obsessed her. Shi- s! tidied every pen stroke on the envelope and the check, trying to get some idea of his mood from his writing. Hut he ulways wrote in a bold free hand and the writing on this piivelope was the same as on any other. Oh. if he was only not so far away if site only dared try to reach him by 'phone! She took down the telephone hook to look up the rate to San Francisco. It was not listed, but it would he at least for Kansas City was $7.25. She would call up Central- she wanted to know exactly. Perhaps there would be some special night rate. Central connected her with "information" and "information" with "Long Distance'' and "Long Distance" with the chief operator. And he informed Iter curtly that, "Von can't telephone to San Francisco or any point In California." She hung up the receiver with a sense of shock. Sr. is was impossible to reach him by 'phone. Now he seemed farther away than ever. Vet even if she could -she would not have dared to telephone. Onlv once had she

called him tip on "Long Distance," the time she was visiting her mother in Missouri .and he had not. written for days, But ! had been furious and had roared at her never to do such a foolish, extravagant thing again. Put even though she would not have telephoned, the fact that she could not --that there was no wires, that whatever her net ds she could not reach him that way- gave her a desperate sense of remoteness. That blank sheet of paper seemed to menace her with a future desolate and destitute. She was consumed hy the fear that unless she did something at once to mak" things "right" h would never return. And this fear weakened her into all her old ahject-

ness. Ail her p!a

It. was a pitiful weakening and an abject surrender. And Helen knew it was both. And yet a woman's love and en otion are in the end usually stronger than her judgment or her pride or even her self respect.

quickly. j This feverish urgency to action at hiicu moments is; something almost ever;, '.soman had felt. If only she can nay or do the right thing she thinks she can bring back here the man she loves. Pen it is a most pitiful delusion for nine times out of ten if she will only do nothing, if she will only wait the man will come back himself nd come with much more respect and admiral ion than if he was brought back by her contriving. And so now if Helen could only have waited, if sin- could only have accepted tli" blank sheet of paper in silence! B' knowing that she was not in fault, she could have waited in dignified inaction most probably the next week or at leas! the week after would have brought her a letter. And it would have gained for Iter, too. something of respect and of admiration from Warren. !',ut this was not Helen's nature. She had reached the point where she could no longer wait. She must do some immediate thing. And to telegrapn was the only thing that would

"No, not just yet. I'll call down j when I want, one." The yellow telegraph blank always ! struck a certain note of terror in lie':en's mind. And now having worked .

(let a 10-cent box. Put aside- just once --the Salts, Fills. Castor Oil or Purgative Waters which merely force a passageway through the bowels, but do not thoroughly cleanse, freshen and purify these drainage organs, and have no effect whatever upon thf liver and stomach. Keep your "insides" pure and fresh with Cascarets, which thoroughly cleanse the stomach, remove the undigested, sour food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret tonight will make you feel great by morning. They work while you sleep never gripe, sicken, and cost only 10 cents a box from your druggist. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never have Headache, Biliousness, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach or Constipated Bowels. Cascarets belong In every household. Children just love to take them.

'.herself up to a state of feverish t.nseness they seemed more than ever omit nous. She first wrote her message on

note paper, and then copied it carefully on the blank. THE TELEGRAM.

"I can't bear your silence. Writt

Anything better tbau blank sheet

paper. Sorry about roomer, will let her go at once. Will do anything you think best, if only you will write and come back to me soon. Am almost ill with anxiety. Wire me. Letter follows. HELEN". This was just forty-nine words, she had counted them carefully. She

knew that all punctuation was left out t over

of telegrams, so she read it over to j see if it would be clear without them, i Then she called tor a messenger and sent it off. She had satisfied her longing for action. She had yielded to the feverish impulse to reach him riutckly. But now hardly had the message gone when she began torturing herself as to the wisdom of having sent it. At least could she not have worded it

better? The paper from which she had copied it still lay on her desk. She read it over again and again. Each time she saw something she would like to change or leave out or put in. Oh, why had she sent it off so quickly? It could not be delivered anyway before morning. She could have kept it until midnight just as well. But now she must write the letter. For several moments she sat at the desk, nervously tearing tiny shreds from the corner of the green blotter. Then finally she wrote: "Dear Warren. I have just sent you a night letter. I could not bear it any longer. Your silence the blank sheet of paper you sent with the check seems to have terrified me. Am sorry I insisted on renting the spare room against your wishes. I will let Mrs. Morrison go at once. Will tell her tomorrow. Perhaps I have been wrong, but I only wanted to make some extra money so I would not be so dependent upon you for everything. I didn't mean to be defiant you know me well enough to believe that. "Oh, Warren, can't you come home soon? Vill it be very much longer? Can't you see it isn't good for either of us for you to be away so long? You said in your last letter that you weren't anxious to come; that from the tone of our letters lately you didn't think it would be a pleasant homecoming. Warren, you didn't mean that! I know you didn'tyou couldn't! Write me, dear, not a stern,

k WEAK WOMAN AND HER STORY

(n Floral, Ark., Lives a Lady Who Feels That Her Strength Was Restored by Cardai. Floral, Ark. "I must speak a good word for Cardui," writes Mrs. Viola Baker, of this place.

"About a month ago I was in very bad health. I was so weak and nervous thai I was not able to do my housework. "My husband bought me one bottle ol Cardui, the woman's tonic. 1 took it according to directions and now 1 am in good health. "I think Cardui is a fine tonic tor weak women." And you are not the only lady who thinks so, Mrs. Baker. Thousands, like you, have written to tell of the wonderful benefit Cardui has been to them. Cardui contains no minerals, or other powerful drugs. It contains no glycerin or other mawkish-tasting ingredients. It is just a pure, natural extract, of natural vegetable herbs, that have been found to regulate the womanly functions and strengthen the female system. All druggists sell Cardui. See yours about it.
