Helen and Warren ; Their Married Life

By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of "Their Married Life." Author of "The Journal of a Iseg- , i lected Wife." "The Woman Alone," Etc.

"All right, let's eee it," Warren's voice was impatient "Trot it out!" Aglow With the enthusiasm of her purchase, Helen brought in a large box, from which she took out a silkbound, rose-colored blanket. .' "Just feel how soft it is!", throwing It over. Warren's knee and the arm of bis chair. "pink!" scowlingly. "Why the Sam Hill didn't you get white?" It isn't pink it's rose. All the fine 'encb blankets come in colors now hey don't 6oU so easily." " v "Well, you' want things WHITE bout a bed." . , "Ob," disappointedly, "I thought ou'd like it. Ixok how beautifully s bound," stroking the wide rosetaffeta binding. , "You don't buy blankets .. for the Mnding. Where's the other one?" "Oh, these don't come in pairs! Feel he thickness. It's the very finest vool he says it's warmer than any -alr.of ordinary blankets." Huh, we don't fall for that. What'd you pay for this?" "Sixteen dollars," apologetically. "The deuce you did!" "Why, dear, that's reasonable. Soma of the stores ask twenty-five for these

French blankets." "Well, you fire that back and get a pair, of ordinary California blankets, wbltp with pink borders kind we've always had." "Warren, I can't. I can't take it back." qniveringly. "This is an extra double-bfd size 80x90. They ordered It especially." "Well, I'll not cough up sixteen dol lars for any blanket! You can get a talr for ten good enough for anybody." "Listen, dear. I CAN'T take it back. V4 rather pay for it myself." Now, none of that! We'll settle this right here. That blanket goes back! We're not chucking money away in times like these." And throwing it off his knee, he reached gloweringly for his paper. Slowly Helen refolded the blanket. With a sick dread he shank from the

thought of returning it. It was not a stock size; they had had to order it. How could she ask them to take it back? That it was an oxpensive blanket, she knew, but Warren had always said, "Buy the best while you're buying." Last year, at a sale, she had bought some cheap sheets that had drawn up each time they were washed. He had raged at her petty economy, and at ths sheets that were too short, which she finally had to cut down for the maid's bed. She wanted to remind him of this incident, but a glance at his face made her fear to start another argument. Enviously 6he thought of the women T;ho had their own incomes, who could buy what they chose without a humiliating dependency upon their husbands. Even her fifty-six dollars In the bank was money 'lat Warren had given her. She had never had a cent that she could really call her own. and

tonight the sting of this dependency !

was stronger than ever. The blanket put away. In constrained silence. Helen took up the last number of the Household Magazine. Instinctively she turned to the page. "How Some Women Make Monev at Homo." . There was a prize offered each month for the letter giving the most practical suggestion. Half a dozen letters were published. Helen read Ihem eagerly, but they were either absurdly impracticable or things that could not be done In a city apartment. Chicken raising, growing mushrooms and making icily. And the inevitable letter on the easy profits of soliciting subscribtions for the Household Magazine. Mosquitoville, Ind. My Dear Pot kpt-Money Editor: I am writing to tell you that I have a lovely new umbrella stand, china with red roses, -bought with the money 1 made last month getting subscription's for the Household Magazine. It was such easy,, pleasant work just in

my spare time. Next month I hope to

make enough to buy a large rubber

plant for the parlor. Yours gratefully, Mrs. John W. Baker. Helen turned the page In disgust. Perhaps there were women who thought soliciting "pleasant." Personally she would rather go out and scrub. ; r Was there no way for women to earn money at home that did not involve some form of ; peddling? Even the jelly, and home-made bread had to be sold. To ask any one to buy anything had always seemed to Helen a form of beggary. It was a wrong idea, but one that she could not overcome. A deep chime from the dining-room clock half past ten. Helen put down the magazine, straightened the papers cn the table and went into get ready for bed. Not for a moment had the haunting dread of returning the blanket left her, and the sight of the box made her sick at heart. i.In bed she rehearsed the scene of just what she would say when she went back to the store. She thought of the clerk, a courteous, middle-aged man. She had taken a full half-hour of his time, and. then he had to order the special size of the blanket she

finally selected. How COULD she ask him to take it back? It was almost twelve before Warren came in to undress. Helen kept her eyes closed, feigning sleep, while in

surly silence he moved about. When he got in bed, he settled himself heavily, his back toward her, and with more than his share of the bedclothes. A dead silence. Then the sound of lattling paper from the library. Another interval of silence, and again the disturbing flutter. It was the wind-blown pages of a magazine that lay by the open window. The sound was faint, but it was insistently annoying. Warren stood it for about 10 minutes, then he started up. "Walt, dear, you lie still. I'll fix it." Helen slipped out of bed and felt for her slippers. Groninsr her way through the dark

to the library, she found the fluttering magazine, laid a book across it and started back. A footstool, unseen, stood in the way. She stumbled over it, tried to catch herself and fell heavily against the table, knocking off a china ash tray which crashed to the floor. Struggling to her feet, she ground under her hand a piece of broken china. "What the devil!" Warren rushed in and switched on the lights. Blinded by the sudden glare, it was several seconds before Helen saw the crimson stain on her gown. Her hand was cut and bleeding. "Come in here!" Warren hurried her into' the bathroom. It was not a deep cut, and it was not painful, but it was bleeding freely. With the faintness that the sight of blood always brought, she turned her head away as he held her hand under the warm water faucet. "Got any collodion?" He flung open the medicine chest. "I I don't think so. I gave Anna

the last when she cut her thumb." "What have you got? Court plaster? Never keep anything here." There was no court plaster, and Warren bandaged the hand with witch hazel and absorbent cotton. But the red stain kept seeping through. j

Helen yearned for some expression of tenderness, but he was frowningly intent on the bandage. With a child, a kiss on a hurt finger is often the best curative, and in many ways Helen was still very much of a child. For a moment she almost wished the cut was deeper, deep enough to make him express some real concern. "Hurt much?" curtly, as he tied the bandage firmly around her wrist. She shook her head. It did not hurt, but unstrung by the fall her pulses were athrob. She longed for the soothing comfort of his arms. "Where's the stopper for this?" as he put back the bottle of witch hazel. Helen found the cork on ihe floor. "Now hereafter, lppk .where you're

foolishly Ki!cm to think they are going lo get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, secret nostrum or narcotic drug, said Dr. Saner, a rpecialist of this city, when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from the food you eat. Hut people often fail to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in

their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they know something is wrong but they can't tell what, so they generally commence doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caused by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: Set; how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two fivexraln tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for' yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were , fi ling all the while, double their j strength and endurance and entirely lift rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, 'liver and other troubles in from ten jto fourteen days' time simply by takingron in the proper form. And this I lifter Ihpv hail in wimo fusoft hnon rlnr.

toring for months without obtaining p-ny benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize-fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron.

NOTE Nuxated Iron recommended above by Dr. Sauer is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to drnggists and whose iron constituents is widely prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor unset the stomarh-

contrary, it is a most potent remedy, in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The Manufacturers have such great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or women under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endur

ance in ten days' time. It is dispensed

in this city by all good druggists.Adv. M

going, he slammed shut the medicine

chest. "Clumsy as a cow, anyway. Now

get in bed; I'll turn out the light."

This time the silence was broken by

only the droning tick of the clock. Still

Helen could not sleep. She tried to be quiet, but an occasional stir betrayed her wakefulness. "What's the matter?" demanded Warren gruffly. "Hand begin to hurt?" "No," faintly. . "Then for Heaven's sake let's get to sleep." Against the pillow Helen stifled a sob. "What're you. sniveling about now? Out with it?" "Oh, I I was just thinking about that blanket." "Back to that, eh? That's like you. Oh well, keep the blooming-thing! I'd rather pay tor It than be kept awake all night." Helen's heart leaped. He had said what she wanted, but he had said it

ungraciously, and ' womanlike she wanted him to say more. "No no, I won't keep it if you feel it's more than we should pay." "Guess it won't break us." There was a yielding note in his voice. Helen turned to him. She wanted more more! She wanted his approval of the blanket and of herself! Unconsciously she slipped her bandaged hand under his shoulder. The pressure brought a twinge of pain and an added desire for some expresion of affection. "Dear, I can't bear for you to feel that I've been extravagant. You know I want to be economical, to do everything I can to help " "Great Scott, I said keep the confounded blanket, didn't I? What more do you want? Jove, there's no satisfying you. You get your own way, and then you keep harping on it. Now you turn over there and subside!"

EATON, O., Feb. 29. Heavy death toll probably was prevented late Monday afternoon when John Karnes, of this city, discovered a bad rail joint and flagged down Pennsylvania pas

senger train No. 42 at a point about one mile west of the city. Angle bars at the side of the rail were replaced and the train proceeded. At the point where the break was discovered the grade drops sharply, and trains clip off the distance at a

great speed. Had the train proceeded the results would have been horrible to contemplate. A few years ago Karnes and another man discovered a dangerous break at about the same point and flagged down a train in time to prevent serious results.

To Remove oRughness, Chaps, Freckles, Lines

If your skin Is chapped, rough or harch, dab a liberal amount of mercoHzed wax on the face and allow it to

remain over night. When you wash

off the wax in the morning, fine, flaky, almost invisible particles of cuticle come with it. Repeating this daily,

the entire outer film skin is soon

absorbed, but so gradually, there's

not the slightest hurt or inconven

lence. Even the ugliest complexion

yields to this treatment. The under

lying skin which forms the new com

plexion is so fresh and youthful looking you'll marvel at the transforma

tion. It's the only reliable way to

actually discard an aged, faded, freck

led, blotchy or weather-beaten com

plexion. One ounce of mercolized wax,

procurable at any drugstore, is sufficlet in most cases.

If wind and cold make you squint

and frown, you re bound to cultivate wrinkles and crow's feet To overcome these, bathe the face in a solution made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. adv.
