Married Life the Fourth Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. The unswept steps and dingy doorway proclaimed the cheap rooming house as loudly as did the sign, "Furnished Rooms for Rent" in the window. The door was opened by a strange looking creature a tall, thin, wildeyed woman, with yellow, shrivelled skin and frowsy black hair. "I called to see the young woman who advertised for housework." faltered Helen. "I am the young woman, glaring at Helen defiantly. "I advertised." "O, I I see," murmured Helen, longing to turn and run down the steps, for there was something weird and uncanny about this woman. Her matted black hair was only a wig, which did not hide the closely shaved gray hair around her ears. She had closed the door and stood with her claw-like hand on the knob, and for a moment Helen felt a thrill of fear as she found herself alone with her in the darkened hall. "I hope you ain't like those two gentlemen who were just here," she began excitedly. "They asked me to go upstairs to get my references, and when I came back they were gone! No good will ever come to anybody," menacingly, "who treats a hard-working girl like that." Had she been drinking, or was she under the influence of some drug?

Helen was almost afraid of her. SELF-PRAISE. "Now what kind of a girl did you want, ma'am?" she demanded shrilly. "Just a young girl quite a young ?irl for general housework," answered Helen nervously, edging toward the floor. "Well, there isn't any kind of housework that I can't do. I'm lookin' for a nice, quiet place, where somebody will appreciate a hardworkin' girl. I kept house for Mrs. Eldrtdge may be you've heard of the Eldridges of Brooklyn? Well, ma'am, you could have wiped your handkerchief over kmr kitchen floor and you wouldn't teave found any dirt." "Well, there are several other girls f want to see before I engage any -ne," murmured Helen, thinking only Df how she could get away. "I'll let fou know if I" "You'll let me know? wildly. 'That's what they all say, and I never hear from 'em. I put in an ad. last month; a dozen people were here to ee me, and they all went off sayin' I'll let you know!' Why can't you jecide now? I'm ready to go back with you, if you wan't me." "But I I really wanted a younger ?irl." Helen felt that she was brutal in saying this, but she had to get may. Oh. a YOUNGER girl, is it? They ill say that. too. It's the YOUNG ?irls they want. I advertised myself s a young woman not a young girl. I'm not young and I'm not old. But I can do your work a lot better than iny of those giddy young girls," her tviid eyes fairly glared. Through the glass in the door Helen tw a postman coming up the steps, lie rang the jangling bell, the woman opened the door to take the mail and ,n n flash Helen had slipped out. "So you want a young girl, eh?" she called shrilly after her. "Well I hope von get one a giddy rattlebrain

.von't give an honest girl a chance to ?arn her livln'. You're just like the -est," nnd she turned back into the hor.-e rind slammed the door. H?!en flew down the steps and almost ran around the corner to the Text block. She wanted to get as far fwny from that house as she could. 5he felt it would be days before she nv)d blot out the memory of those '.viid black eyes and claw-like hands. THE NEXT. The next advertisement she had marked was of a "Young Irish girl. ately landed," and the address was n West Twenty-eighth street. Helen's heart sank when she saw hat this, too, was a rooming house, ant it was plainly a better class louse. The steps, the entrance and he windows had the appearance of ieing well kept.

However, when she rang the bell.

girl up to the large front room on the second floor. It was a typical "furnished room." Evidently it was not rented, for the dresser and mantel were bare and a half opened closet showed empty shelves and books. The girl stood at the foot of the bed, smiling awkwardly, while Helen took the cheap rocker by the window. "You've had some experience at general housework?" asked Helen kindly, trying to put the girl at ease, for she had liked her at once. j "In the old country, miss; but not here," in thick Irish brogue. "I've got a reference from a lady I worked for in Londenderry. Shall I get it, miss?" "No; tell me about yourself first. How long have you been in this country?" "Just two weeks next Saturday, miss." "Then you're not working in this house?" "Oh, no, miss. My uncle rooms here and I'm just stayin' here till I get a place. I've got a little room at the top; but my uncle's got the hallroom next to this," proudly. HELEN CONFIDENT. Helen had heard the door bell jangle a moment before, and now a voice called from below: "Nora! A lady to see you!" "Will you excuse me a minute, miss?" and she hurried down. Even without seeing her reference Helen made up her mind that she was just the type she wanted a good, clean, wholesome Irish girl. But what if this woman downstairs should engage her first? Just then a pleasant-faced old man came timidly to the door. "Pardcn me, ma'am, but I'm Nora's uncle. I heard her talking to you, and I'm anxious that she should get a good place." "Yes, that's right," smiled Helen encouragingly, for she was glad to learn something of Nora from this uncle. "She just told me that she's been in this country only two weeks." "Yes, ma'am, but she's been in the service in Ireland. Nora is a mighty good girl. She takes interest in her work and everybody likes her. Do you live here in the city, ma'am?" Helen, feeling that she would have a better chance of getting Nora if she could win the confidence of her uncle, told him of their .apartment, and just what she expected of a girl. "Yes, ma'am, that's just the kind of a place I'd like for Nora. I'll just go down and speak to her she'll be right up again." Helen could hear plainly the voices at the foot of the stairs, and she could not help but listen. "And if you get through your work early some evenings I've no objection to your going out. If you're fast you

can always get through by half-past eight," the woman's voice was persuasive. "Yes, hiss, but I didn't think I wanted to go to the country. You see, I'd like to stay near uncle iM can." PERSUADING HER. "But you can come in to see your uncle every other Sunday. We have excellent train service; it takes only forty minutes to come in. Now you better make, up your mind to go out with me this afternoon." As Helen strained to catch Nora's reply, she realized that she was listening. Her cheeks flushed as she went over to the window beyond the

sound of the voices. In a few minutes the uncle entered again with an apologetic "I'm sorry, ma'am, to keep you waiting, but there is a lady down stairs who wants Nora to go home with her this afternoon. She seems to be a very nice lady, but I just told Nora I'd rather she would go with you. When a man gets to be my age, he can judge something of peoples" faces, and I think you'd he good to anybody that worked for you." "I try to be," answered Helen, who

could not resent the childlike simplicity of this old man. "If you don't mind, I'll just show you a picture of Nora's mother," and he brought from the hall room an oldfashioned photograph. It was a quaint picture of an old lady in her best black gown. The plain, honest face was unmistakably like Nora's. "This was taken in Ireland?" as Helen noticed the photographer's stamp. "Yes, ma'am, she was never out of Ireland. She was my only sister." "And you'ye been rooming here for some time?" asked Helen, politely, for want of something to say. "Oh, yes, ma'am, I've been rooming with Mrs. McCall for over six years. I'm a plumber by trade." WHAT WARREN SAID. Nora herself now appeared with an awkward apology for having kept Helen waiting. She said quite frankly she was not going with the other lady, because she did not want to go to the country. Half an hour later Helen left the house with the promise of both Nora

and her uncle that she would come to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. There was a drug store on the corner, and Helen rushed In to the telephone booth and joyfully called up Warren. . "Dear, I've got a girl and I think she's going to be really good! She's green, of course, but she's clean and willing and looks like she'll learn very fast. She's coming in the morning. "Well, don't get excited til you've got her on the job.- Chances are somebody'll offer her more money and she won't turn up," was Warren's comforting comment.
