Helen and Warren Series; Story of Their Married Life

In -the dim room Helen lay with her face to the window, watching the gray light outside fade Into darkness. The

winaow was down from the top, and the shade flapped out with an exasperating rattle. Even under the covers, with the hot water bottle, Helen was chilled. Her hands were lev mM nlthmio-h

her head was hot. For over a week

sue nad. felt dragged and wretched; today she had given up and gone to bed. There was a sudden yellow glow through the transom. Anna had turnsal on th lleht In ihm Hlnlnr rrvim

She could hear her setting the table

"Anna:-' sne called. The girl came to the door. "Close this window, won't you, and turn on the heat?" "Yes ma'am; It's gettln' colder. Blowln' up a bit," as she turned on the sputtering radiator.

"I'm too dizzy; I don't think I can come to the table tonight. Mr. Cur

tis 11 have his dinner alone, what time did you put on that roost? Helf-

past five? Well, don't cook it quite

as much as you did the last. No, leave the door open so I ean tell you. Helen lay back, her heart a-flutter from the exertion of talking. It was dark now and only the light from the hall It the room. A dreary brooding half hour, then the closing of the hall door and War

ren's heavy step. "Hello, there!" I It was the call she always answered 1 by running out to meet him.

"Dear, I'm In here," faintly. He strode into the bedroom and witched on the lights. "What's all this?" briskly, staring iown at her. "Not sick?" "Oh, dear, I don't know -what it is, but I'm so dizzy and nauseated. I don't think I can get up for dinner." "Nonsense," feeling her forehead and hands. "Just a little cold touch of grip. I'ts the weather; felt rotten myself today." It was an unfailing trait of Warren's that whenever Helen was 111 he always began to complain. "It's half an hour yet before dinner," as he put on a clean collar. "You lay

quiet; you'll feel better by that time. Want this light off? "Can't you read in here?" wistfully, as he itrode into the library with his paper. ' "Not by that light, I'm right here If you want me." She did want him. She wanted him to sit beside her, to let her hold to him, to feel the strength of him. nut she did not say bo. When dinner was Berved she yielded to his assistance and tried to get up. The blood rushed to her head, and she sank back back faint dizzy. Reluctantly he went alone, while Helen choked down a feeling af hurt neglect that he had not even suggested a doctor. She would not have had one, but she longed for him to seem anxious and concerned. Warren was still at the table when the phone rang. She saw him as he went through the hall to answer it, with napkin in his hand. "Hello! Oh! hello, Wilson! How're you?sorry but I'm afraid I can't tonight. Mrs. Curtis's under the weather, and I can't very well leave her." Helen felt the note of regret in his voice, and it was a reckless impulse of her hurt pride that made her call out: "You needn't stay home for me I'm all right. Anna's here." "Are you Bure? It's a smoker at the Rational club. Sure you won't mind being left alone?" "No no," steadying her voice. "I'll go right to sleep." "Hello! Hold on- there, old man! Mrs. Curtis says she's be all right. Where shall I meet you?" Helen, her face buried in the pillow, did not hear the rest. It had been a sort of desperate test. She had wanted to insist on his going and she had wanted him to refuse! But he was glad to go, glad to get away. When he finished his dinner and came in t- get ready, she put her arm over her eyes to hide her face. "Now you're sure you'll be all right?" ho paused by the bed. She nodded. Her voice would have betrayed her. "Well. Ill not stay late. Go to sleep that's what you need." She waited until the door closed after hlni, then gave way to the pentup, hysterical sobs. Anna, who was

clearing the table, came running in

alarmed and distressed.

When Helen grew quiet, the girl in

sisted on helping her out of her rumpled negligee into a nightgown. Then she refilled the hot-water bag, beat up the pillow and straightened the covers. "Hadn't you better have a doctor, ma'am? Your head's real hot." "No no, I'll try to sleep now, I'll be all right in the morning." It bad been left to the maid to suggest a doctor, she thought : bitterly. As she lay., alone in the darkened room, with her head a-throb and hot and cold flashes sweeping over her.her thoughts grew distorted. If he cared so little now, what would it be in a few years She pictured herself growing old and unloved. Always she had said that no woman should either live with or take money from a man who no longer loved her. But what could she do? What did other women do who were old and alone? She would have to go to some other city, where Warren could not find her. If she could not have his love she would not touch his

money.

Half dozing, her mind drifted haz

ily. She saw herself old and faded, living in a wretched hall room. She might do plain sewing. But when she

grew too old to sew? Old Mrs. Pear

son did cleaning by the day. There were homes for women who made only

a few dollars a week. What were they

like? Vague, unknown horrors loomed out from the darkness. It was eleven when Warren came. She turned her face to the wall as he entered. "Awake? How're you, Kitten?" feeling her hands which were now hot and dry. She tried to turn her head toward him but she buried it in the pillow. "See here, you're feverish! What've you been doing to yourself? You were'nt like this when I left." There was a note of real anxiety in

his voice, which thrilled through Hellen with a reviving glow.

"No no, now none of that!" as her shoulders quivered in a relaxing sob. "What's the matter? Something's

wrong. Out with it."

"Oh, I it's been awful lying here

alone! ' I've had the horrors! Oh,

why why did you leave me?" "Well, I'll be hanged! Didn't tell me to go, did you?" "Oh, I know, but I didn't think you would." "Now, see here, I'm no mind reader. If you want me to do one thing, don't tell me to do another. Don't try any of the 'test' stunts on me! I don't fall for 'em. But we'll thrash that out

some other time. Here's what I'm going to do with you NOW!" He stalked over to the closet and came back with his heavy,'' blanket dressing gown. Wrapping it around her, he lifted her up in his arms. "Lie still stop your fussing!" as she protested feebly. She close her eyes dizzily as Warren carried her into the library, and settled himself in the big chair by the reading lamp. His strong arms held her easily, as they would hold a child. "Comfy and warm?" putting her head down on his shoulder and tucking the long robe around her bare feet. Then he took from the table the last number of 's Magazine.

"Now don't talk. You're to lie there and be read to. How does this suit you? 'John Gordon's Awakening, a Story of Modern New York?' Helen heard the words only vaguely but the deep monotone of Warren's voice was like a soothing narcotic. Her face lay against the warm firmness of his neck and the stiff, cool linnen of his collar, while her - hand

lovingly to the dear familiar roughness of his coat. '

The distorted fears that had obsess

ed her were now only as an ugly

dream. The very feel of Warren's arm about her a thrilled sense of se-

cuity. Even old age seemed infinitely far away. A dreamy peace, a vague

beneficence stole over her. Warren's

voice was droning and remote.

"Well we had a good snooze? Feel

better?' '

Helen raised her head from his

shoulder and stared at him blankly. "Oh oh! Have I been asleep? " "For over an hour, my arm is almost broke."

"Oh, dear, and you've held me all this time?"

"Couldn't very well drop you, and

you're no feather, believe me!" He straightened his cramped arm

Then gathering her up he carried her

back to the bed.

"There," as he took off the dressing

gown. Feeling better? Head's much cooler. No, don't talk; you'll wake yourself up." "But I've got to get up, I have'nt had my bath or taken down my hair." "You lie right where you are! I'll not have you fussing 'round and catching more cold. Let the face cream and the rest of the fixin's go for to-, night. That pillow too high? How's that? If you are not better in the morning, we will have Doctor Kelly look you over." "Oh, dear, I don't want a doctor. I'll be better, I know I "Hush now, don't talk! You're nice and drowsy. "Now snuggle down and go to sleep that's your job."

An Honest TradeMark That Stands For An Honest Product When you purchase Duffy's be sure this trade-mark appears on the label and over the neckstrap. It is your guarantee. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is made for medicinal purposes only. Therefore, it is not a beverage in

any sense of the word, and never satisfies when taken as such. Duffy's as its name implies is absolutely pure because it more than complies with the U. S. P. Standard requirements. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is considered in the annals of medicine as a reliable wholesome tonic-stimulant. When taken in tablespoon doses in equal

amounts of water or milk before meals and on retiring it exerts a manifest action for good on the digestive organs, stimulating the flow of gastric juices necessary for the proper assimilation of food. It invariably gives the system power to resist and throw off cough3, colds, grip and bronchitis. " Get Duffy's and Keep Well."
