Married Life the Fourth Year

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. -We were stopping at the Asdorf. It's only a couple of blocks from here can't you come in and have tea?" Helen hesitated, then yielded to Mrs. Menvin's urgent invitation. She had met the Merwina on the steamer. They had sat at the same taWe on the return voyage aud seen a great deal of each other during the trip. And now Mrs. Merwin's greeting as they met unexpectedly on Fifth avenue, was most cordial. "Don't you want to come up to the rooms? It's much quieter, and I'll order tea up there." she suggested, as they pushed through the heavy revolvm door of the Hotel Asdorf. The atmosphere and appointments of a big, luxurious hotel had always a certain charm tor Helen, a charm that probably would be dispelled should she live at one for any length of time. They left the elevator at the eighth floor, and Mrs. Merwin led the way up the hall to an expensive suite of bedroom, sitting room and bath. She telephoned down for the tea, ordering with it two cocktails. "Oh. yes, we must have something to drink," as she hung up the receiver. "I've been blue all day! Oh, I think New York is the most lonely place. I'll be glad when we get away." "But you're so pleasantly situated here," protested Helen, glancing around the attractive rooms. "And don't you find this hotel very good? I've always heard that the service here was excellent." "Oh, I I almost hate it! I've been so unhappy ever since we came!" Heien looked up, surprised at the tremor in her voice. "You U:iov we'd planned to go on to Denver, but but Mr. Merwin's business has kept us here. Now I I don't know wbn we'll get away." She had laid aside her hat, and as she loaned back in a chair by the window. Helen saw how tired and worn she looked. On the steamer she had bem omst attractive, and the center of much attention. But now she was pale and listless, with haggard lines around her eyes and mouth. What could have happened to have changed her in so short a time? In a few moments the waiter came with the tea. On the tray were two slender glasses into which she poured the cocktail from a silver shaker. Mrs. Merwin sipped her eagerly, and a faint color relieved her pallor. Momentarily it seemed to cheer her, and they talked of the people they had met on the steamer, several of whom Mrs. Merwin had seen since. Then the phone rang, and she started so violently that the tea splashed from the cup she was holding. The phone was on the wall by the door, and Helen could not help but notice how her hand trembled when she took rlcwn the receiver. SHE BREAKS DOWN. ' No, Mr. Merwin is not here . . . I'm sorry, but I don't know anything ibeut that. I'm sure Mr. Merwin will m ike it all right. . . . Yes, as soon ar- he conies in." Hardly had she left the phone when the boll rang again. "Mr. Merwin is not in. No, he hasn't Jii office in New York. At six? He may be here then, but I'm not sure." i To Helen's dismay, as Mrs. Merwin turned from the phone she suddenly leaned against the wall and burst into tears. "Oh. I can't stand it any longer I can't!" she sobbed. "They're always a!!ing him up the people he owes! Ami h's drinking and gambling away all his money!" Kor a moment Helen hardly knew what to say, then she made a strained arr! awkward attempt to comfort her. But the emotions which had evidently been pent up for days were finding expression, and she sobbed out to Helen the whole wretched s'tory. The mining scheme that Mr. Merwin had been promoting in London had fallen through when they reached New York. He had borrowed money from every or.e he knew, trying to promote some other stock. That, too, had been p failure, and now they had not even money enough to pay their hotel bill ana they owed for three weeks. "Cut why do you keep these expen-M-e rooms '.'"ventured Helen. "Couldn't yon stay at some cheaper hotel, or -". !i a! ;i boarding house?" "!':;. but we can't leave until we nay the hill. We can't even take heaper rooms here, for that would r.iuxe them suspicious. They think Mr. .Mi rwin has money; he always spent It s. freely. If they didn't think that, t 'i ,'y wouldn't keep giving us credit in iir restaurant and we've got to eat r-omewhere." "Rut if you go on running up this bill" ALWAYS PROMOTING. "Oil. Frank keeps thinking he'll get money somewhere he's always full of chmcs." bitterly. "It's always promoting, promoting, promoting! I hate the very word! If he'd only get down to some real work. Anything that ucnlii Kive him a regular salary inst"fd cf trying to live extravagantly on a lor of promoting schemes. Oh. I know I'm disloyal to talk like this, fcr when he has money he's the AT THE MURRAY

If anyone is letting the hot weather stand in the way of seeing Paul J. Kainey's African Hunt pictures, they have no conception of what they are missing. Tonight, is the last time these wonderful pictures will be shown at the Murray and it is such a rare opportunity to witness such sights that no one can really afford to miss seeing them. These are not animal pictures with fake scenario but pictures that were taken right in the heart of the African wilds at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. The dangers attendant upon this expedition were multiple and it took the rarest sort of courage und temerity for the camera man to get the pictures. For six entire weeks the photographer risked his life daily attempting to get the marvelous pictures of the animals at the "water hole." He had to be careful and place himself so that the wind would not come from his position towards the animals, for had any of the dangerous beasts scented him there would have been little hope for his life. Especially is this true of the rhinoceros they are .ery keen of scent and are so fearless and savage they will charge anything. You have been to Africa after you have seen these pictures. Words cannot adequately describe the story. One must go and see for himself. There are six reels in all. A natural history story and thrilling hunting adventures throughout. (Advertisement)

most generous man in the world-. But lately everything has gone against him and he's drinking! Oh, I can't tell you he hasn't been himself for days. And last night" again she gave way to sobs. A knock at the door, and she started up with a haunted look. "Do you want me to answere it?" asked Helen. She sobbed, pushing back her hair and brushing away the tears. But it was only a bellboy with a large package. "Oh. it's that evening gown from Ardraan's," carelessly. Then seeing Helen's look of surprise she added, hastily: "I shouldn't have ordered it, but it was week before last, when Frank felt sure he was putting through a big deal. We saw it in the window, and I liked it. You see." plaintively, "he wants me to have everything. We've an ac-

' count at Ardman's, and he told me to have it charged. Of course, I didn't i know things were going to be so bad." "Can't you return it?" suggested Helen, gently. If you'd explain, wouldn't they take it back?" "No no, they've altered it now. That's why they've kept it so long. Oh, I suppose it won't matter," recklessly, "when the crash comes a hundred dollars or more won't make an difference." With a sudden impulse she took a knife from the tea tray and cut the string of the box. HER SAD STORY. "Don't you want to see the dress?" with a harsh little laugh. "I'll wear it down to dinner tonight, and we'll look so prosperous that the hotel won't send us a bill for another week. Oh, I've learned to pretend, to act to i sham!" bitterly. 'It's part of Frank's j business assets to have me expensive-: ly gowned. It gives people confidence in his schemes. Oh, yes, I'm an ideal promoter's wife!" j Helen shrank from this bitterness almost more than from her tears. I "There," as she shook out the gragile evening gown, gleaming with pearl ' trimmings. "Does that look like we couldn't pay our hotel bill?" Then she turned to Helen almost fiercely. "But. you mustn't misunderstand me! You mustn't think Frank isn't honest in his schemes. He is! Somehow he always believes in them. He's always sure he's going to make a fortune for i himself and for somebody else. But when I think of all the people that have invested in his promotions and have lost, it almost drives me mad! And yet," defiantly, "it's their fault, ; too! They shouldn't be so anxious to j make something for nothing. I've j grown to hate them, too! Oh, I hate it all this feverish, uncertain, schem- i ing life is killing me!" i There was so little that Helen could ! say to comforther. This was a life of j which she knew nothing, this living on i a volcano, as it were, and never know- j ing when the upheaval would come. It was almost six before she had the j heart to leave. ! "I'm afraid I can't stay any longer. , I hate to leave you alone, but Mr. Curtis always gets home at half-past, and I must be there then." "Oh, yes, I don't wan to keep you," helplessly. 'T suppose Frank will be here sometime this evening. If he ! doesn't come I'll go down to dinner alone. I feel that everybody knows ; we owe that bill. Oh, the hamiliation of it you don't know you don't know" It was quite dark when Helen reached the street. She hurried home filled with brooding, anxious thoughts of the woman she had just left. Above everything else, Helen had an innate horror of debt. To owe a hotel bill, and to be compelled to live on

that hotel, seemed to her an intolerable situation. A BLANK FUTURE. And what would be the outcome? Would Mr. Merwin be able to get the money? Or would they stay on until they were asked to leave? "Huh, you're wasting a lot of sympathy," was Warren's comment when she told him about it at dinner. "Those promoters are used to being on their uppers. And they've all got some get-rich-quick scheme that's more or less shady." "But dear, I really believe he means to be honest. She says" "Oh, he may hoodwink her, but when a man makes a business of trying to put over these wildcat schemes well, he deserves all that's comin' to him." But Helen was unconvinced. Her sympathy and anxiety for Mrs. Merwin were not lessened by Warren's cynacism. And even though he warned her against getting "mixed up" with such people, she was still determined to call up Mrs. Merwin in the morning and do what she could to help or comfort her.

With so much grippe prevalent this winter a few words of advice regarding its cause and treatment will not be out of place. Grippe is an Infectious disease easily taken when the system is in a tired or run-down condition. The best means of prevention are to keep the blood in good healthy condition, and if the system gets into a weak, run-down condition, take Vino, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic. A ladv from Lone Branch. N. J.. says: "Grippe left me in a nervous, weakened, run-down condition. After takine three bottles of Vinol I am better and stronger than I have been for years, and I cheerfully recommend Vinol to all who have suffered from the grippe and need strength." (Name furnished on request.) j We have never sold in our store such a valuable strength creator and health restorer for the convalescent, the weak and run-down as Vinol, and , your money will be returned if it does , not do all we claim for it.

When Coffee Gets

The experience will be like that of thousands who have ignored the fact that coffee contains a habitforming drug, caffeine about iy2 grains to the ordinary cup. Some say, "Coffee don't hurt me," and seem to get on with it for a time.
