THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. TUESDAY, FEB. 17, 1914His Proposals By Nell Brinkley

Married Life the Third Year BY MABEL, HERBERT URNER. It was just five when Helen got back to the hotel. Their key was in the office, so she knew Warren had not yet come. But he was only a few minutes late. She was taking off her hat when he entered. He submitted rather impatiently to her eager kiss, and threw his stick and a bundle of papers down with a brusque: "Well, what kind of a day did you have?" "Oh, dear, wonderful!" "Find London a pretty interesting old town?" "Oh. the most interesting city in the world!" "Whafd you see?" taking off his coat and throwing himself on the couch. Then,! without waiting for an answer, "I'm dead tired." The city may be all right, but by jove, you ought to be up against the business man here." "v - "Why, dear, didn't you have a good day?" anxiously. "Didn't get to see anybody. These men are never in their offices, or if they are they don't see you unless you make an appointment. Have to write or telephone, Even the small fry can't be seen offhand. Gad, there's a lot to be said for the New York way of putting into an office and seeing your man on the spot, instead of fooling around writing letters to these pikers. Helen was conscious of a vague misgiving. She knew it was Warren't nature to always denounce everybody and everything that didn't go his way. He had been confident of success here, and now if he was meeting obstacles on this, his first day! UP AGAINST IT. "I've made a few appointments for tomorrow. Once I get at these fellows I'll get them going. Bodington's the man I want to see the most. Write him for an interview but Heaven knows when I'll get it. They take their own everlasting time for things over here. Now, let's get out and get something to eat. Haven't had a thing but a whiskey and soda since morning. "Oh, Warren, you know you shouldn't go all day without eating." "Didn't have time. Punch that bell there for some hot water," and he strode over to the dresser and began to take off his collar.

Helen read the notice beside the j bell. Maid '. 1 ring ; Hot water 2 ring i Waiter 3 rings j Valet 4 rings She rang twice and a maid prompt- j ly appeared with two tins of hot water. i "Well. I'll be blowed! Those same ( little tin spriukling pots." sniffed War- j ren. "They've been using them since the year one." There was a long, old-fashioned j marble-topped washstand with the two

heavy white porcelain bowls and pitch ers that the English hotels always have in their double rooms. Warren grumblingly poured out some hot water in one of the bowls. "About enough to wet a canary bird." "You don't suppose we could afford a private bath?" ventured Helen. "Huh! Doubt if you could get one. Guess they haven't half a dozen In the whole house. All this talk about "tubbed Englishmen" is a blamed

bluff. Never was in a country where

they had so darn few taubs." Here, as he started to empty the water into the slop-jar underneath the stand, the bowl slipped from his soapy hands and crashed to the floor. "Thunderation!" as he gazed at the broken bowl and the wet darkened carpet. WARREN IS ANGRY. Helen caught up a towel and was already trying to mop up the water. "Let it alone," he growled. "Serves them right, for expecting anybody to wash in a bowl and pitcher. If they don't have baths, why under heaven don't they put in stationary washstands with running water? I'd like to tell these hotel managers over here a thing or two. Helen was still trying to mop up the water, but the red of the carpet came off on the towel. She had already used two, and hesitated to take ano'her clean one from the rack. "Didn't I tell you to let that alone?" demanded Warren, as he strode over to the bell and rang it vigorously. Then, as the maid appeared, he waed toward the washstand with a curt : "Wipe up that wagr over there and take out that broken bowl." llelfn, who had always a dread of extra hotel charges, was wondering if they would be charged for the bowl. But she ftared to irritate Warren by asking him. She was arranging her hair before the mirror, and now Warren elbowed her away to put on a fresh collar. "Jumping Jupiter!" holding up the one he bail taken off. "Ever see anything as black as that?" Think they'd need more than sprinkling pots to bathe in." "But, dear, why is it so dirty here?" "Soft. coal. That's all they burn. Now there's one thing you must look up tomorrow a decent laundry. Most of them over here are rotten. They leave in the dirt and try to cover it up with starch gloss it over. Believe some of the big stores now have laundries. You might look into that tomor-

You have a throbbing sensation in your head, a bad taste in your mouth, your eyes burn, your skin is yellow, with dark rings under your eyes; your lips are parched. No wonder you feel ugly, mean and ill-teirfpered. Your system is full of bile not properly passed off, and what you need is a cleaning up inside. Don't continue being a bilious nuisance to yourself and those who love you, and don't resort to harsh physics that irritate and injure. Remember that most, disorders of the stomach liver and bowels are cured by morning with gentle, thorough Cascarets they work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from your druggist will keep your liver and bowels clean; stomach sweet, and your head clear for months. Children love to take Cascarets, because they taste good and never gripe or sicken.

He had been all ready to start out,

of the large leather chairs at the end of the lobby. A number of people, all in evening dress, were passing through

to tne aming room, and Helen felt much out of place in her simple tailor made travelling suit. Warren had told her that every one over here dresses for dinner. But she was surprised to see how extreme the dresses were. Even the middle aged and elderly women wore very low cut gowns and much jewelry. But keen as was her interest in the English women's gowns, it could not keep her from worrying about the result of Warren's telephone call. What if he should "get in wrong," as he would express it, by trying to reach this prominent Englishman at his home in this way. She had heard Warren speak of Bodington, and knew he was one of the men upon whose influence he was depending. Oh, why hadn't he waited until morning? Why had he risked everything by his impatience? A few moments later she saw him coming toward her. As he passed through a crowd of men in evening dress, his light gray business suit was most conspicuous. But there was something in the swift American vigor of his movements, and in his swinging athletic carriage that made Helen's heart leap with all its old thrill of pride. How he seemed to stand out and tower above those languid Englishmen! "Well, it's all to the good," as he sat down beside her. "I got my man and he's all right. Understood at once.

Taxes on Roads As a Result.

Almost $3,000 is the loss of the Pennsylvania railroad company in Wayne county as the result of the annulment of the old road work tax law and the passage of the last one allowing the working out of only $20 of tax on roads in a township. The company is credited with $70 for road work on their taxes for 1913. The amount credited to the company for 1912 taxes payable in 1913 for the work done on roads was $3,026.49, making a gross loss of $2,956.49, through the passage of the law. The amount which the company was assessed for 1913 was $2,219,708 for which the tax payable this year will be $59,041.20. An installment of $32,712.28 will be paid in May and $26,328.92 will be paid next November. The main track of the company is assessed at $57,500 with the rolling atock charged at $7,500 a mile
