Married Life the Third Year

It was a typical country road bouse, with its low ceiling, red lights and darky singers. As it was Saturday, a number of autos were lined up In the yard, and most of the tables were filled. "Doing a pretty good business tonight," remarked Warren to the snave proprietor, who had paused for a moment at their table. "Oh, yes, Saturdays and Sundays are our big days out here." "Mighty slow during the week, though," commented Mr. Stevens, as the man moved on. "When was It we were out here, Emma?" turning to Ms wife. "Last Thursday, wasn't it? and there weren't half a dozen people In the place." "Yes, they have to depend on their week-end business," said Warren. "That's what makes these road house prices so stiff. Have to keep enough waiters to handle the Saturday and Sunday erowds, with nothing much to do during the week." "Oh, but some of the prices are exorbitant!" exclaimed Mrs. Stevens. "You'd think they'd have more customers if they'd be more reasonable." "Don't know about that," said Warren. "The class of people who make a practice of coming to places like this want to spend their money." "Shall we serve the chauffeur's dinner, sir?" asked the waiter, coming up with a slip in his hand. Warren waved a "Yes. certainly," and signed the slip, for this was his dinner. They had so often gone out in the Stevens' car as their guests that Warren had insisted on this dinner being his. "What do you think of that new man of mine?" asked Mr. Stevens, referring to the chauffeur, who mhe had engaged that week. "Seems to drive all right." said Warren. "What was the matter with the other one?" "Oh, I found he took the car out last Sunday for a forty-nine mile drive with his girl." Warren shrugged his shoulders. "Guess thev all do that, only you don't always find it out. That's one of the consolations of people who can't afford a car," he laughed. "We don't have to put up with the impositions of these blamed chauffeurs. Rotten lot most of them."

"Yes, and they're getting worse all!

the time. Got to now you can t get any kind of a driver for less than a hundred dollars." "And I'll wager that same man couldn't make forty at anything els." "Of course, he couldn't." agreed Mr. Stevens vehemently. "They're all ridiculously overpaid. Most of these fellows learn to drive a car in a week, and they're no more of a mechanic than I am. Gad, it makes my blood boll when I think of what we have to put up with. Why nine-tenths of them were elevator or bellboys, not making a cent over six dollars a week. They go to some night school for chauffeurs and in a couple of weeks come out as full-Hedged drivers demanding a hundred a month. I'm sore on the whole proposition." "Should think you would be," declared Warren. "I'm thinking of getting a small car next summer, but it'll be one I can run myself." Then suddenly glancing at his watch. "By George, this service is slow. Here, waiter, what's the matter? Hurry our order along!" THE DINNER CHECK. "Yes. sir, it's oming right now, sir." with the cheerful, re-assuring air that waiters always have when asked about a delayed order. But it was fully another twenty minutes before it was served, and as they lingered over the dinner it was after 9 when Warren finally called for the heck. The waiter brought it and laid it face down. When Warren turned it over, Helen, in a swift glance, tried to read the figures backward. Twelve dollars and something! The checks at these places were always more than she thought they were going to be. Warren drew out a twenty-dollar bill and laid it on the check. A mo-i-ppnt inter the waiter came up with an apologetic: "This is the chauffeur's check, sir; I forgot to include that." Warren glanced at it casually and

then more closely. "What's that?" sharply. "Two dollars and eighty cents for a chauffeur's dinner? Well, I sues not. Take that toaok. You've got the -wrong check there." "No, sir; that's right, sir. There're the Hems." Warren frowned at It unbelievingly. "Do you mean to say you'd serve a chauffeur such a dinner as this?" reading off the items: Chicken sous .....SO Sirloin steak 90 Creamed potatoes .. .. ....... .tS Cauliflower 90 lee cream 30 Cigarettes 25 Cocktail to Bottle beer ....25 "Yes, sir, mumbled the waiter; that's what he ordered, and you said serve his dinner." "Look here, Curtis." Interrupted Mr. Stevens. "Don't you pay that that's an outrage." "Don't worry," said Warren grimly. "I'll kick, on this all right. It's awkward, Stevens, that It's your man, but they're not going to take advantage of me because of that. Send me the head waiter here." When the head waiter approached, Warren demanded angrily: "Is this the way you soak people here?- Do you make a practice of serving $2.80 dinners to chauffeurs?" "We serve what they order, sir; unless we're instructed otherwise." "And do you mean to say you've many chauffeurs' bills of such amounts?" "We have some, sir." "Well, you send the proprietor here. I'll talk to him about this." Helen was growing more and more embarrassed. While she thought the bill was outrageous, she would much rather Warren would pay it than to have this scene before Mr. and Mrs. Stevens. Since it was his dinner, surely he ought to pay whether bills there were without protest. The proprietor came up now with an uneasy smile. "The waiter said he spoke to you about the chauffeur's dinner, sir, and that you said serve it." "Of course I said serve it to serve anything within reason. All the road houses I know have a regular chauffeur's dinner for a dollar. But this is preposterous. It's nothing less than a hold-up." "We have no regular dinners, sir. Everything here is a la carte and the prices for the chauffeur are the same as for you. The food costs just as much and the service is just the same." "Then you mean you'll not do anything about this check?" "I'm afraid I can't, Bir. We served

what was ordered and those are oar prices." "All right," and Warren stemmed down the check with the twenty dollars and the other check. Til pay It, hut I'll take mighty good care never to pay another bill at this place, and I'll make ft a point to see that none of my Mends do, either." There was an awkward silence while they waited for the change. When It came Warren, who always tipped so liberally, deliberately took up the four one-dollar bills and the three Quarters and put the mln his pocket. The waiter picked up the empty plate with a sarcastic: "Thank you, air." "None of yoer insolence," snorted Warren, "or I'll throw yon out." Warren's loud, angry voice had at traoted the attention of the ether diners, and now as they left, Helen was conscious of the curious glances that followed them and the hot color deepened on her face. Outside, they stood on the porch for a moment, waiting for the car. When the chauffeur drove up there was nothing In his expression to show be was conscious of having ordered an extravagant dinner. Helen got in the back seat with Mrs. Stevens. Under cover of the noise of the brake as they drove down the hill to the road, Helen murmured an apologetic: "Oh, I'm sorry this had to happen when you were our guests. Warren shouldn't have taken it up." "Mr. Curtis did Just right," Mrs. Stevens assured her. "That was an exorbitant bill. He shouldn't have paid it at all. We never pay more than a dollar for the chauffeur's dinner. Mr. Stevens'll have It out with this man when we get home. I suppose he's been working for some millionaire who didn't care." "DO HIM GOOD." "That's just it." broke in Warren. "That's another reason why all these chauffeurs are such a rotten lot. They work for some man with more money than sense and they're spoiled for everybody else." "Hush, dear; he'll hear you," whispered Helen, for Warren had again raised his voice and there was a conscious expression about the back of the chauffeur's head. "That's all right; It'll do him good." But all through the ride home Helen felt most uncomfortable. To spend over fifteen dollars on a dinner and then to have the evening spoiled by an unpleasant incident! For to Helen there was always something humiliating about an argument over a bill. While she was really far more economical than Warren, she could never bear to argue about money. She would rather pay almost anything than

to have a dispute. And that Warren should dispute a dinner check when he was giving a dinner. Even the chill night air could not cool the hot flush of embarrassment which still flamed In her cheeks.

When FouldV Macaroni was first made, Durum (Macaroni) wheat Crowing was still an experiment In the United States. In 1899 the Government brought samples of Durum wheats from all parts of the world to test their suitability

to American conditions, ctau tnese varieties Kubanka proved the best, producing In the Dakota a finer, richer grain than It did in Its native soil In Northern Russia. Without Kubanka wheat America could not produce macaroni as good as the imported. The Foulds Milling Co. have followed closely the development of Macaroni wheat In America, have endeavored to Increase Its production and

raise its quality, iney were the first to make a high-grade Durum wheat flour (semolina) fat America the first car of Durum wheat from

Dakotas was shipped to Foulds at Cincinnati in 1903. Foulds' Quality Is the result of careful selection of high grade grain, careful milling, careful clean scientific manufacture.

Mothers Who Took It When Children Now Giving it to Their Children. There must be genuine merit in an article that has stood the test of two generations of users. In the field of medicine none has had greater success, nor retained that success to a greater degree, than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is now being used by three generations of people. Its use in families is constantly becoming more general. The reason, primarily, Is that it has merit. It is what it represents itself to be, a laxative-tonic; it does not make exaggerated claims nor use coarse language to set forth its virtues. It is a medicine, but so mild and gentle a medicine that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, and yet, in a slightly larger dose, it is equally effective for grown-ups. It is for any disorder of the stomach, liver or bowels, for constipation, no matter how chronic, for dyspepsia no matter how severe, for biliousness, sour stomach, gas on the stomach, headaches, drowsiness after eating and similar complaints arising from a clogged-up condition of the bowels. It is pleasant to the taste and does not gripe. It can be used with safety and good results by anyone at any age or in any condition of health, and that person's health will improve. Every druggist sells it and the price is only fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. Thousands of families throughout the country are never without Syrup

Little William used to cry half the night with cramps and pain, but since being given Syrup Pepsin he does so no longer. The use of this remedy will teach you to avoid cathartics, salts, purgatives and physics generally, as they are entirely to harsh. Syrup Pepsin cures gradually, but the cure is comfortable, safe and permanent. Families wishing to try a free sample bottle con obtain it postpaid by addressing Dr. W. B.
