livered by Rev. Lightbourn in which he. will review the work of the last five years. No special services are

Is expected at the morning hour.
"Dear, it's so late must you go to the office tonight?" "Got to look over some of that mall before I see Griffin' in the morning. This the one you want opened?" Warren was unstrapping one of the trunks. "Both of them, and youll have to open this, suit-case." Helen banded him the key. "That lock catches." , "Now, see here, don't try to unpack tonight. Just take out what you need and get to bed don't stay up for me. Here, I'll not want this," taking a steamer cap from his bulging overcoat pockei. "Wait, dear; -do wear, your muffler. It's much colder here, and you're not used to it yet" But Warren, scorning the muffler.
buttoned his coat with a vigorous,
Cold? This is fine not that infernal
dampness we got in London."
Anxiously Helen followed him to
the hall door, and stood there until
with a final -nod he disappeared into
th elevator. Then she turned back to
the dusty, dismantled apartment -with
a feeling of utter depression.
Had they landed in the morning, it
would not have been so cheerless, but
there was something Inexpressibly gloomy about this home-coming at
night.
How strange and unfamiliar every
thing looked! As she switched on the lights and went from room to room.
Helen almost wished herself back on the steamer. Even their stateroom seemed now more familiar than this.
And their London apartment she pic
tured with an almost homesick throb
After the excitement of traveling,
there is always a "let down" In getting home. And now, instead of feeling of
relief at having left a war-menaced
country,- Helen :. bad . a lurking to be
back there. . How she dreaded the unpacking
Every article would bring a rush of memories of those weeks in London that now seemed so wonderful. Even the labels on her trunk were a remind
er, as it were, of past pleasures..
Never bad her home Jlfe appeared so humdrum, bo dully uneventful. She
shrank from taking up its daily routine. Yet with the feeling that such thoughts were disloyal,, she tried to crush them out. ', She had turned on the heat and the sizzling of the radiators 'emphasized the loneliness of . the place. Everything was covered with' dust She gazed about helplessly where should she begin? When she had changed her traveling suit for an old kimona, Helen went out to look for a dust cloth. As she swung open the kitchen door there was a sound of dripping water, etartlingly loud in the stillness. 1 ' Stumbling against a sharp corner of the table, she groped in the dark for the light.,: One of the faucets in the panti7 sink was leaking! No. it was
not turned off! ' Had it been dripping
all these weeks?
Nora was too careless! They should
never have left her to close the apart
ment, but Warren had insisted that it
would be all right.
How had .she left the refrigerator?
A strong, musty odor greeted Helen as she opened it Far back were a couple of shriveled tomatoes. In a greasy brown paper was a piece of bacon green with mold. .And her last warning to Nora had been to leave nothing in the ice box!
There were no clean dusters. Nora
had left them all in the bottom of the broom closet, black as floor cloths.
Not having the heart to Investigate
further, Helen turned off the kitchen
light. In the hall closet rag bag, she
found one of Warren's old' " under
shirts .which she took for a duster.
Even the toilet things on her dresser
Nora had not put away, and the air had tarnished the silver and rusted
the pins in the cushion.
The first thing tomorrow she would
call up that Danish employment
agency. She would never take Nora back, of that she was now grimly de
termined.
The snow blew in from the outside
Bill as Bhe raised the window to shake
out the dust cloth. It was piercingly
cold. The wind was growing stronger. It rattled the window panes with a dis
mal whine. Oh, why had Warren gone down to the office on such a night? How desolate it must be in that great
deserted building with only the night
watchman on guard.
She pictured him unlocking his dark office with the silent covered typewriters, the closed desks and safe. He had taken her there once at night, and
she had never forgotten that impress
ion of deathlike stillness, of tense sus
pended activity. ,,
Her nerves already taut, she startled
violently as the 'phone shrilled out. - It was Warren! 'He .was calling her up just to break the awful loneliness of that office. She flew into the , front room, falling over an open Buit-case in her eagerness.. . . "Hello!" joyfully. "Number, please," snapped central. "Why you called me!" "Mistake. 'Cuse it, please." Resentful and disappointed, Helen turned away. The wind was now shaking the windows with a whistling wall. She - thought of it - howling through : those deserted canyon-like streets around Warren's office. Impulsively she turned' back to the 'phone she would call him! "Cortland 1428!" Then she waited eagerly. It had been so long since she had heard Warren's voice on the wire. There had been no occasion to 'phone him in London. ' She could bear thei buzzing at the ot'aer end, but the expected - click of his taking down the receiver did hot
"Hello what's that? A taxi? You've got the wrong number." crossly. ?We didn't order any taxi here." "Oh, yes yes, we did." excitedly Helen cau-ht his arm. "Youll have to go down and give the man somethingand send him away.". -. Warren stared at her.
"Oh, I couldn't get you on the 'phone
come. Then at last, "Cortland -1428 don't answer!" ' : - "Oh, ring them again, central. . I'm
sure some one's there."
Another long wait, then central s
voice with a note of finality, "They
don't answer. I'll ring you if I get.
them."
Baffled, Heien hung up the receiver.-
He must be there! . It was only thirty
minutes to his office, and it bad been
an hour since he left.
Vaguely anxious, she went back to
her work. Taking off the dusty sheet that had protected the bed, she turned down the covers and laid out her
night-dress and Warren's pajamas.
Somehow the bed, now ready for the
night gave the first touch of home to the place.
Three times within the next half
hour she called Warren's office, but
still that baffling, "Cortland 1428 don't answer."
Even" if he had started home before her first call, he would be here by now. What could it mean? Every gruesome possibility now obsessed her an accident in the subway, in crossing a dark street, or in the elevator, run by the sleepy watchman. Was this a swift punishment for her rebellious thoughts at the monotonous routine of their home? Was this routine to be broken by some tragedy?
Abject in her remorse, with a tempestuous change of feeling, her home life
now seemed ideal. If only nothing had happened to Warren! By 11 o'clock Helen had worked herself into a state of feverish anxiety. Unheeding the stinging cold, she had thrown up the library window and was leaning far out hoping to recognize Warren in every muffled figure that came up the street. . Once more she turned to the telephone. "Central," pleadingly, "see if you can't get that number now!" Again the empty buzzing and again central's indifferent, "They don't an
swer." Then, with a desperate determination, Helen found the number of a well-known cab company and called for a taxi. In blind, trembling haste she got
back into her tarveling suit. This suspense she could not bear a moment longer. She was going down to his office.' If he was not there or had not been there then she would have to
call up some of his family. She was slipping on her long steamer coat when the front door banged
A breathless second was followed by
the sound of Warren s heavy step.
He was struggling out of his over
coat; as with an inarticulate cry Helen
rushed into' the hall. "Oh, I I "
But just then the telephone rang
out clamorously. -
"Who in thundrwBffior"Wfe' home?" Shaking off Helen's clinging arms, he strode into, the front room to
answer it. " ", '. "

down to the office!" .- . - "Going down to the office? Of all blithering -" . , , . "Don't dear; don't' scold me now! It you 'won't send that cab away I'll have to!" .. ' r . . "You Btay.' where 'you are!" Warren caught her by the shoulders and almost flung her back into the room. Then the hall door slammed after him. ' When be came back, Helen was curled up on the couch, her face in the dusty sofa pillows, sobbing nervously. "Now what I'd like to know Is." Warren stood over her, his hands in his pockets, "if it's softening of the brain or if you're just plain dippy?" He listened grimly, with an occasional snort, while Helen sobbed out an account of her telephoning and her frantic anxiety. "What number did you call?" "Why, Cortland 1428." - "Got the new book, haven't you? right there by the 'phone. Why in biases didn't you look in it? My number's changed to Broad 8120. Now if you think we've had enough dramtics for one night I'd like to go to bed."

Don't neglect your first cold, cough or any Bronchial affection, this fall, but commence treatment immediately, and through using the proper medicine, it can be checked from the very start and promptly cured, but if neglected probably will bang on all winter; if it does not develop into Bometbing more serious, such as Pneumonia or Consumption. True, there are hundreds, yes thousands of cough remedies on the market While some are good, there are many which are not, but are positively harmful, due to the narcotics which they contain. - But why experiment with these different remedies purely on tbe strength perhaps of some testimonials or on the exaggerated claims of manufacturers, when Schiffmann's New Concentrated Expectorant is sold by Clem Thistlethwalte on such a positive guarantee- to give perfect satisfaction, yes even more- money will be refunded by them .if it is . not found the best
remedy ever used in Severe Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough or Croup, and it' will also be found excellent for Bronchial Asthma and Bronchitis. Besides these druggists guaranteeing "that it will be tbe best remedy ever, used," it will likewise be found the most economical, because one bottle (50 cents' . worth) makes a full pint (128 teaspoonful) of the most' excellent medicine for any of the above af-, fections, when mixed at home with one pint of granulated sugar and onehalp pint of water. It makes as much.t or more, than would cost you $2.00 to 13.00 of almost any of the ordinary rcdy-made kinds, sold in bottles holding only 24 to 31 teaspoonful. You will be the solee judge yourself ancr under - the . same - positively "Mone Back" guarantee which tbe druggist make for the famous Asthmador.
