THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN -TELE GRAM, THURSDAY, FEB. 19, 1914 Married Life- To Shoot OY Not to Shoot By Nell Brinkley the Intra Year

PAI1 EIGHT

By MABEL. HERBERT URNER. Helen opened , the door, gave a quick shuddering glance around the hotel room, then threw herself across the foot of the bed. She was 111 tremblingly, quiveringly 111. , Hot and, cold , flashes were sweeping over her. It had come upon her ,suddenly while she was going through the British museum. How she got back to the hotel she did not know. There was a dazed recollection of asking a policeman what bus to take, and of the ride back, which seemed endless but nothing was clear. And now she lay there too weak to even take off her things. What was it? Was she going to be very ill? If she could only reach Warren! She was terrified at the thought of being there alone until six the time they had arranged to meet. But there was no way she could get him by phone. With a determined effort she arose, got out of her clothes and into a loose dressing gown, but she was so dizzy she could hardly stand. Oh, how good it felt to slip in between the cool fresh sheets, for she was now burning with fever. In a moment her hot face had warmed the pillow and she moved her head for a cooler part. She had intended to ring for the maid while she was up and now she lay looking at the bell, dreading the effort it would take , to reach it. Her whole body seemed to shrink from notion, she wanted only to lie still.

When once more she finally forced herself out of bed and over to the bell, she crept back again with a wave of

nausea surging through her, while

the room seemed to sway.

The maid came, a typical English

maid with white cap and rosy com

plexion. With quick sympathy she

asked if Madame was ill

Helen sent her for some ice water "with ice in it." For the lukewarm

water the English used always sickened her.

Never had the clinking of ice against a Ditcher sounded so grateful. The

maid put the water on a stand by

the bed and Helen drank eagerly a

large glassful. WARREN ARRIVES.

"Perhaps madame has a chill," she

suggested, when Helen told her of the hot and cold flashes and the cold

perspiration

A chill! Strange she had not; thought of that. Unquestionably it ! had been a chill. But it was more j than thatnow, for she was conscious : of a sore throat and a curious ache in j every limb. j "Would madam like to see r. doc- j tor?" j Helen hesitated. She knew nochin? i

of English doctors, and ill as she a as, she had visions of enormous bills. 'No, I think I will wait untii my husband comes he will be here at si:'..' "If you will take a little brandy, ma'am," ventured the maid. "That is always good for a chill." "There is a flask of brandy in Mr. Curtis'a satchel the one over there on the chair. I don't think is is locked." When the maid had gone she lay back and closed her eyes. The brandy was tingling through her, bringing a delicious sense of drowziness. Her thoughts grew confused. In a few moments she was asleep. "Hello, there! What's all this?" She awoke with a start to find Warren standing beside the bed. For a moment she was too dazed to speak. Then she murmured a vague: "Oh dear, I am so sick." "Sick? What's the trouble?" "I am afraid I have had a chill." "Chill? Nonsense! Something you have eaten has upset you." "But, Warren, I have a fever now.

Just fel how hot my head is."

"This London grime gets into one's

skin. Let me get washed up.' "Guess you don't feel like going out to dinner?" "Oh, Warren!" She could not keep the reproach out of her tone. "Well, I am not asking you to go. Need not put on such an injured air. What do you want sent up here?"

In a rush it came to Helen that she was to bo left alone again that he was to send up her dinner and go out for his. "Dear, can t you have your dinner sent up, too?" "Certainly not. I could not eat up here. Now for Heaven's sake, don't get fussy just because you are a little upset. I will send up some chicken broth. What else?" "I don't think I can eat anything," tremulously turning away. "Course you can. A little broth will do you good. I won't be gone long." Going to some chop house near here." He stooped over and ' kissed her hurriedly. "Now don't think you are going to be sick. It is only this beastly climate. Most Americans get a touch of it." LEFT ALONE. When the door closed after him Helen lay staring at the wall paper. Usually her love so blinded her that she did not often realize Warren's utter selfishness ,but tonight It seemed to be forced upon her. How could he leave her alone, when he could have so easily have had his dinner sent up? What if she should be seriously ill over here? It was not the illness that she thought of with such terror, but the fear of learning to what extent Warren's selfishness and indifference might go. She must cot be ill she must not put hi mto that test. A little later there was a knock at the door, and a waiter entered with a tray and placed it beside her. There was a bowl of chicken broth, thin buttered toast and some crisp fresh romaine salad. At least Warren had remembered that she loved romaine. It was an absurdly little thing to offset the rest

with a big soggy bolster and two big soggy pillows, and she is not going

to change. That is the English of it." He jerked off the bolster so roughly that the whole bed shook and the bowl of broth sloshed out on the tray cloth. "There, now," adjusting the two remaining pillows at Helen's back. Obediently she sipped at the broth,

Thin People Can Increase Weight Thin men and women who would like to increase their weight with 10 or 15 pounds of healthy "Btay there" fat should try a'ne a Tuie Ppro-i with their meals for awhile and note results. Here is a good test worth trying, -First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Sargol one tablet with every meal for two weeks. Then weigh and measure yourself again. It isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friends say or think. The scales and

the tape measure will tell their own j Ha

story, and most any thin man or E

woman can easily add from five to ' eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direc-; tion. And best of all, the new flesh i stays put. I i Sargol does not of itself make fat. !

but mixing with your food, it turns ; the fats , sugars and starches of what you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat- i producing nourishment for the tissues ' and blood prepares it in an easily 1 assimilated form which the blood can ! readily accept. All this nourishment now passes away from your body as waste. But Sargol stops the waste , and does it quickly and makes the fat ! producing contents of the very same ' meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthv flesh :

between your skin and bones. Sargol is safe, pleasant, efficient and inexpensive. Leo H. Fihe and other leading-druggists in Richmond and vicinity sell it in large boxes forty tablets to a -package on a guarantee of weight increase or money back. (Advertisement)
