Married Life the. Third Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. 'Oh, that's lovely, and just what I needed!" Mrs. Stevens held up adthe liberty silk scarf Helen had brought her from London. "But you shouldn't have bothered to get me anything. I know you had so many to think of." "Here is something; for Lizzie," and Helen unwrapped a fancy beaded bag. "I wanted to bring her something for taking care of Pussy Purrmew. ' "She will be delighted with that. But she has grown so fond of the

kitten; she will hate to give her up. Oh. 1 forgot, yoa haven't seen her yet. Wait, I will have Lizie bring her in she stays In the kitchen most of the time." Mrs. Stevens had kept Pussy Purrmew while Helen and Warren were abroad, and although they had been back almost two weeks now, they had waited until this evening to come after her. "Oh, how she has grown! Helen started up eagerly as Liazie, the maid, appeared with Pussy Purrmew in her arms. But when Halen went to take her she wriggled away and ran under the sofa. "Huh!' grunted Warren, who had been talking to Mr. Stevens. "Thought you said she' would know you ? Knew sh wouldn't. All cats are alike haven't an ounce of affection." "She would know me if we were alone," insisted Helen, indignantly, "buf so many frighten her." "Yes, she is very nervous," declared Mrs. Stevents. "All of those highly bred Perlsan cats are. Whenever we have had company and wanted to show her off, we could never coax her in." "I do hope sh hasn't been any trouble. Warren thought it was an imposition for m to leave her with yon. He said I should have boarded her at some cattery." "Oh, no, she hasnt been a bit of trouble. Most of the time ah would stay out with Lizzie in the kitchen." "Near the base of supplies," grinned Warren. ,rWell, if we are going to take her back, we had better be get

empty box with the large. Jagged hole in the lid. Then they all broke into a roar of laughter. Warren and Mr. Stevens fairly howled. "Well, you are mighty lucky that it didn't happen in the subway," gasped Mr. Stevens. I would like to have seen Curtis holding that bandbox with the cat bursting through." "But how did she do it?" asked Helen blankly. "Told you that box wasn't strong enough," scolded Warren. "See how flimsey that pasteboard is. Simply pushed against it and broke through, that's all. If we had any sense, we would have known it." "Well, how shall we get her home?" Helen asked, helplessly. "Do you suppose I could carry her in my arms?" "Carry her in your arms?" ridiculed Warren. "You would hold her just

Stevens. Wait, I will fix you up

train came the unmistakable "meows" of the cat. They were not the low, refined "meows" of a delicate Persian kitten, but the loud and rasping backyard fence variety. The passengers looked around in startled bewilderment. Then they located the sound. Plainly it was from the suitcase. Everybody began to smile and nudge each other. Warren pretended not to notice, but Helen saw his face redden furiously. "Now the "meows" became even louder, accompanied by the vigorous scratching. By this time the whole car was looking in their direction and grinning broadly. "Why dear, this is not our station," as Warren grasped the suitcase and started out at the next station.

She is out of town now, so I couldn't get it. But I took her in a bandbox to the cat show." "Yes, but she was a kitten then," argued Warren. "She is a big, strong cat now. But bring her in, maybe we can make this do." But Pussy Purrmew was not easy to "bring on". When Helen stooped down to get her from under the couch she fled under the bookcase, and from there under the couch again. Helen followed her around in a vain atempt to catch her, while Warren looked on scoffingly. "Looks like she knows you, doesn't it-" "Wait, I will have Lizzie catch her," suggested Mrs. Stevens. "She likes her beter than any of us." "Because Lizzie feeds her," was Warren's cynical comment. "Cats haven't any affection except through their stomachs." Helen was trying to persuade the

kitten to come to her, when Lizzie j entered in response to Mrs. Stevens' i

boll. "Now put her in here, ordered Warren," as Lizzie drew the protesting kitten from under the couch. She

placed her in the box and Warren put j on the lid. Mrs. Stevens had brought out a ball of string and they wound i it around and around. j "F'oor little tiling, nhe is so fright-

"Oil, look!" a pink nose now appeared j at the tiny hole they had cut for air. j "She will be all right," declared i Warren, indifferently. "Go get your j things on." Mr. Stevens went with Helen to get j her wraps. When they came back Warren and Mrs! Stevens were talk- i iiiR about having dinner downtown the j next Thursday.

will he give it up? Will he stake his case on the entire absence from Richmond's saloons of wine-rooms, houses of assignation, selling at illegal hours, false returns as to taxes, and evasion of the law as to brewery owned saloons? If he is willing to take this position, we stand ready with a second installment of facts and affidavits. If he will not stake his case upon this, then let him quit beating about the bush and face the real issue.
