THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND, SUN-TELEGRAM. TUESDAY, FEB. 22, 1916. Tenement Shattered By Zeppelin Bomb Helen and Warren Series; Story of Their Married Life n

11 H

A telegram! It was after 11 notbing else would come so late. , - With the thrilled alarm and expectancy that a telegram arouses, Helen turned on the hall light and opened the door. Instead or a blue-coated messenger there stood Mrs. Coiburn in Ler bare feet, herbalr down, and only jkimona over her nightgown. ? -. , A frightened glance over her shoulder, and she darted in, closed the door, locked and leaned against it, trembling with cold and terror. , : V "Don't let him in!" hysterically. "If he comes after me oh, don't let him in.M Without stopping to question her, Helen drew her into the room.' and snatched from the closet a bathrobe snd slippers. "Come over here by the radiator. You shouldn't have come dorra these stone steps tn your bare feet!" Helen's voice was soothingly matter of fact. "Oh. I didn't have time I was in be'1, when he came in!" Incoherently. "I'm afraid of him! Oh, 1 can't go back I'm never going back'." '..(' "I wouldn't talk about it now," wrapping the robe about her. "Get warm first; you're chilled through. Would you like a little brandy?" "No- no," with shuddering revulsion, for alcohol was, the cause of ber husband's brutality. ' "Oh, you won't let him in say you won't!" "Of course not," reassuringly, "but he'll not come down here if he's been drinking, he won't want us to see him." "Oh, he wouldn't care.. He doesn't care for anything when he's like this. Look!" baring her arm to a purple bruise on the white skin. "Oh, whatever he saysyou won't let him in?" "I told you I wouldn't! Wait, I'll tell Mr. Curtis. No, keep that around you you're shivering." Ever since the night Mr. Coiburn had shot himself, Helen had been

vaguely apprehensive; and now Mrs. Colburn's dramatic appearance seemed but the culmination of her fears. That Warren would be strongly op posed to getting mixed up In any family trouble Helen knew, and she approached him with much misgiving. ' "Dear, it's Mrs. Coiburn! He's beeu , drinking again she's afraid he'll come nfter her. We We mustn't let him in ; if he does." "Why on earth did she come down i here?" sternly. "To rope us into a . family row?" "She doesn't know any one else in the house. She says "he's wild he - drove her out in her bare feet!" "Huh, one of these hysterical women! Don't know much about Coiburn, but from what I've seen of him he seems to be a fairly decent sort." "She says he is except when he's '-lnking. You know that , sight . he tried to, kill himself" ' :': "What's she going to do? She can't stay here all night.", , "Yes, she can In my room! We'll ; have to let her stay! ' Oh, what's , that?" as the bell rang clamorously. "Wait what'll you say to him?" "How do you know it's he?" brusque- ' ly shaking her off. From the shadowy hall Helen listen- ' cd tensely as be opened the door. "Is Mrs. Coiburn here?" It was the ', night elevator boy. "Mr. Coiburn , would like to see her." "Very well, I'll give her the message." gruffly, slamming the door. . Infinitely relieved, Helen ran back to Mrs. Coiburn who was crouching by the radiator in wide-eyed terror. "He only sent the elevator boy,"j soothingly. "You see, he's not com-' ing himself I knew he wouldn't. Nowi lie down ; you re all a-quiver. But she was still pathetically agitated. "I'll heat you a glass of milk. That's auieting, and may be "after a while you tan get a little sleep." , "Sleep? You think I can sleep? Oh!" with a convulsive start as the i phone trebled out alarmingly shrill in the night 'juiet. "Oh, that's he I ' know it in! I won't speak to him," hysterically, "I can't!" Warren was taking down the receiver when Helen ran in with a whis pered. "Say she's all unstrung! She can't come to the phone!" "Nice mess you're getting us in." Then sharply, "Hello! . Yes Mrs. Coiburn can't get up to the phone tnow. She's ill; Mrs. Cur tin has her in bed. She'll be up as toon as she feels better," abruptly cut ting orf. From the door of Helen's room Mrs Coiburn had listened, terrorized. "He'll come down himself next," frantically. "Oh, I know he will!" "If he does, you won't have to see him." Helen assured her. "Now try to sret quiet try to relax. You're only workfnz yourself up." Helen brought her the warm milk, lut she was too thoroughly unstrung to be calmed by so mild a sedative. Muddled in a corner of the couch, she LODGE CALENDAR Richmond council No. 18. Jr. O. U. A. M.. -meets Monday night at 7:30 in the Vaughan hall, over 710 Main Ktreet. Fred Cordell. councilor; Josr. K.

. . . wouldn't even lie down. Yet the bitterness she had felt for her husband was gradually-changing to a .consummate anxiety. "Oh, if if anything should happen! If he should try to oh, he's desperate enough to do anything and" be'B'jup there all alone!" . j . v : "But, you say it's only at "you that he gets 6o enraged! Now that he's lone he'll quiet down." ; : "If I could be sure of that! ' But he was so violent he might" Then impetuously, "Wouldn't Mr. Curtis go up rjust for a moment?" o'C' "I don't know," doubtfully feeling it would be difficult to persuade. Warren to such an errand. - - ' But as Mrs. Colburn's anxiety grew -to a sort of. frenzy, Helen reluctantly consented to ask him. ; - "How long's this -going to keep up?" he demanded irritably, as Helen came into the library. "I'd like to get to bed some, time before morning." "Dear, now she's afraid he'll do something desperate. - You know he did try to kill himself. - Couldn't you go up just to see if he's all right?" "No, I couldn't." raspingly. "What excuse have I got for butting in?" , "But if he's been drinking, he won't"-i - ----' - "Well, he's not too drunk to resent my blowing in this time of night What could I say? I'd feel like a fool." "If anything should happen! She says he's just in the mood Oh, Warren, do go! You're always so tactful you'll know what to say!" At last with grumbling unwillingness Warren started for the door, "Nice job you've handed me. "I'll feel like a. fool, I tell you," as he banged out with angry emphasis. In what condition would he find Mr. Coiburn, wondered Helen uneasily. Would he be violent and abusive? Would he resent Warren's interference? -k- :';y. . Mrs. Coiburn, every nerve taut, was waiting with feverish apprehension for Warren's return. It seemed an hour before they heard his heavy step in the hall. "He's all right," as Helen met him anxiously. "I got him to bed; he'll sleep it off by morning.". "Did he say anything? Did he send any message to her?" "Not a word. We didn't talk about it. ' He said his nerves had gone back on him, and he'd been drinking a little too much.- He's not a bad sort. I'll wager she's one of those hysterical women drive a"ny man to drink. j

"Warren;' that's not true. She's, done everything for him." ,t , . "Huh, throws, a fi.tejefy time he has a couple of beers! I know, the type. Now, here's where I turn in. I've got, to work tomorrow." With feverish intensity Mrs. Coiburn started up as Helen entered. "Mr. Curtis has put him to bed. He said he'll sleep it off; that he'll be all right in the morning?'- . "Oh ! " with a sob of relief. . Then

Sometimes just by thinking we no, keep that robe around you." . ;. Helen followed her to the door, and waited until she disappeared up the dimly lit stairs that wound around the elevator shaft. Then from above came the faint sound of a closing door. When she finally crept into bed Warren was asleep. She tried not to awaken him, but he turned over heavily with a muttered, "Well, has she quieted down?",. "Dear, she's gone back." "Huh," contemptuously, '.'got over her heroics, eh? What about 'never' going back, and all that rot?" " Heleridid f riot answer. Anything she . could say would only arouse his combativeness, and just now she shrank from his cynical comments. As she lay there watchmg the white curtain flutter out in the darkness, she was picturing Mrs. Coiburn tucking the covers about her wine-drugged husband. It was the mother love that had tak' en her back the feeling of his need for her. Having no children, all the maternal instinct had gone out to her husband.: And whatever his drunken brutality, whatever her momentary re bellion, Helen knew that instinct would be strong enough to keep her with him.

To see the tinge of healthy" bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up without -i headache, backaehe, coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact, to feel your best, day in and day out, just try inside-bathing every morning for one week. Before breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it as a harmless means of washing Jrom the stomach, liver, kidneys and boweis the previous day's indigestible wasta, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate ou an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases and acidity anl gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot watr cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the blood and internal organs. Those who are subject, to constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week A inside bathing will have them .both looking and feeling tetter in every way.
