Helen and Warrein-; 1 Their Married Life

By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URMER Originator ot Their Married LlfC Author of rrne Journal of a Keglooted Wile," "The Woman Akmo," Etc . ..

A grallng, heatrparohed Sunday morning, Helen -was awakened by the shrilling sparrow the Jstreak of vunllght whlchilanted the bed. . ' Bllnldngly she r rose, lowered the -wnlngs and drew down the shades, nstantly the room T took on ' a cool arkness and the chattering birds eemed less insistent. Warren was still asleep, his arm thrown up over - the pillow, shading bis sleep-flushed face. Softly Helen :noved about, laid out his fresh un- , '.erwear, hi 'white flannel suit. and anvas shoes. It was going to be another hot day. " - In the front room Anna was noisily tinning the sweeper orer the rugs, lelen went to the door with a cantoning: "Anna, leave that until after jreakfast youH wake Mr. Curtis. ' You can get me a piece of ice." . . There ain't much there, ma'am. 'Twon't last tin tomorrow." "Oh, I guess tt will we wont be here for dinner. Just bring a small piece" . 'v:V. TTnr vmJ vMki Helen had been

trying the new beautifying "Ice mas

sage" rubbing her lace every morning with a lump of Ice. At first it had been heroic treatment, but now she had come to love it, and her skin had never been, so fine grained and firm. iCi-r- V "Eh, , where are you? What time is it?" called Warren yawningly. c "tfot quite nine, dear," coming to the door with her face aglow and the piece of ice In a towel. ,s "At It again, 'eh? What fool stunt will you try next?" Then, propping h willows. "Get me the oarers."

; 'Helen brought in ' the two bulky

Sunday papers. Tossing them on tne

bed, she stooped over and kissed his sleep-warmed neck. "Ugh! "shivering, away from her icy lips. "Hold on there," as . she . darted out, "pull up that shade!" , "There is that enough? Dear, don't read too long; it's Anna's Sunday oft, and she'll wanrto get through with the work." i

With a gleam of pleasure Helen slip

ped into a fresh lawn gown,' cool and

summery. Then she went out to see about breakfast,; for Warren was always flnlky about Sunday morning breakfast' ' " H

It was almost ten when He appear

ed. Immaculate In his white flannels. " ."Going . to be a ; scolder!" : as he salted his canteloupe. "Too hot to so anywhere." . . ' Helen had hoped that in the afternoon they might go out to the beach, though she knew that he loathed the Sunday crowds. - -Z :ru : ;-.'K; "Hello, what's the matter with this cream?" glaring at the curdling clots in his coffee.. " "Oh, is It sour? That must be the oil bottle, touching the bell. But Anna Informed them that It was the fresh bottle, and, that if it was sour, it was because 'there was not enough ice to keep it. "Why, this is yesterday's." ' Warren was glowing at the date on the bottle that Helen had brought - in as proof. 'VYessir, we only get cream every other day." ' "See here," raspingly; turning to Helen, "if you're - going to keep up this blooming face stunt, for Heaven's sake take enough ice to keep the food." . (To Be Continued.)

"Ohthen," he answered, and his voice sounded a little phaky, "then-I drove ovei'-to.sCroBTen'ir road-:to call on a friend of mine-Mr Noel Crawley the artist you know.

There were some important papers connected with a business transaction in which I am engaged ; down at , my place in Hatchington near Guildford, you know the. Laurels. I particularly wanted them, so I sent a wire to Lady" Brooke and drove down there." . Mr. Paton nodded. This was news to3rim; but after all there was nothing very remarkable in it. "I took Crawley with me," Brooke went on.. "We slept at the Laurels last night and returned to. town this morning."' It was then t at I I got so nervous about my wife."

"Oh!" said Tommle Cat nearly toe

' Tommle Cat's eyes. were fixed upon a bird on a bush that he was sure he could catch, and he did not notice that Mr. Man had stopped and that Bennle Dog had run ahead. ? - Then the' next thing he did know was. that something ; went "Bang!" close beside him, and without waiting for anything more Tommle Cat flew rather than climbed the nearest tree and clung to a limb, looking as though his eyes would pop out with fright . He saw Bennie Dog a short distance away wagging his tall and looking very happy, and Mr. Man picked up something from the ground and ' put it in a bag he had over his shoulder.

Of course, Tommle Cat landed on his feet but he was so scared he never could tell how he landed,-and, without looking for Mr. Man or Bennie Dog, he ran . and ran, and he never would have stopped if he had not met

his mother on the road, who called to him. -What on earth Is the matter?" she asked. -Tommies Qat ran up -close to his mother and looked around to see if the awful creature was after him. and when he - was sure it was nowhere about he told his 'mother how he went a-hunting with' Bennie Dog tin ' the Woods and how' he ran upthetree and all about the .terrible creature with the big, round, yellow eyes that pushed him off the limb and then chased him. ' . -- "Oh!: That was an owl," i. said .his mother, "and owls cannot see In the daytime. He didn't see you, Tommie Cat. He heard a noise and tried to fly. He didn't chase you at all." . ."Well, If he didn't see me, how did he know where I was and knock" me off that limb?" asked Tommie Cat. ; "He was frightened and tried to fly and, could not see where he was going," said his mother. , "Oh!" said Tommie Cat, . walking away." . : "I -.know one thing," said Tommie Cat to himself, "if that owl creature

"We were chumps to be. frightened by that old beast this afternoon. He was just trying to scare us, and if he had failed he 'would hare gone off and left us.

She sat up and dried her eyes before answering. " At the second knock she asked in a muffled' voice: - "Who's there?" - " - - "The rich Irish ' tones of . her land-, lady, answered. ."It's only me, I Miss Marvin. .Can I come in?" ' . "I'm ; sorry," faltered Julia, "but I'm busy, and and I xant see you just now." ' , -"Nobody! ever too busy -eryln'. to stop, dearie," remarked Mrs. Halloran, "so I'mrcopiing: in.. whether or no." 'f The :.tpuch f t of 'sympathy was too much for the lonely girl,- and dropping her head , upon Mrs. Halloran's shoulder,, ahe began to sob afresh. - "There, now," the kind-hearted woman soothed, "have your cry out What's distressing you,, anyway?" Suddenly, -ashamed of her weakness, Julia' Marvin sat up, dried her eyes -and 1 tried to ' laugh.

"Oh, nothing in particular," she said

'only I feeL tired and not aure about

our future, and you were so gentle and sympathetic that I cried all the more when you spoke to me for I'm

a bit discouraged." V

"You'll be that no longer," declared

the woman . cheerfully. "And if yon

are, and don't let me help you if i I

can 'I'm not your friend do you

Xind' hearts, and-this knowledge made

her burden seem lighten SETTLING "DOWN. 'Their first six weeks of regular-occupation seemed to the Marvin : girls to drag heavily. Julia found the work at Baird's department store both difficult '.and dull. To stand behind a notion cpunter and. sell pins,-needles, tape' and other - articles of this kind was not an exciting pursuit and the fact that Bhe must be upon her feet

for hours at a time made her - task painful. Still .she stifled alVmurmurings and apologized so-pleasantly to her companions-when obliged to turn to them repeatedly for instructions that they all liked her.; To be sure, she felt out of her element when the girls gathered in groups and discussed the newest fashions, the latest vaudeville hit and the "fellows" whom they had met, but she forced; herself to seem interested and not- to show' that all this kind of, thing bored her. "One cannot make much in the way of commissions at a notion counter.

can one?! she observed one afternoon to. Ida Ryan, the . girl who happened to be standing next to her. V :,"I should say not!", exclaimed Ida. "But every girl hopes ,to be transferred to another department before long. If not I just wouldn't stick it out -here." 1 : , .j ! . . - "What would -you do?"., asked Julia curiously, she could not accustom herself to the tone that some of the girls too--as if -it : really made no difference 'whether -they . worked or not .

Feeds Thousand But Hears One Story from All

"About two months ago it " started,

began Clarence M. Babcock, proprie

tor of the big Cherry restaurant at 312 Cherry street Toledo, O., where

more than 1,000 Toledoans are served

daily. ...

"One customer after another would

come in, give his order, and tell how; good he felt. ' "It seemed that from day to day I

heard hundreds of men telling how,

well they felt and proving it by their meals and ascribing it to one thing-r Taniac. You see, there are more than one thousand customers every day at the Cherry. . Most of them are pretty busy, . but they have time enough to pass agood thing along. So they told me about Tanlac, and kept telling me

J every day. :

"Indoor work and "long hours, had begun to , tell on me pretty hard. I had to -drag myself through the day's work. Kidney trouble was causing me fearful pains, I had no appetite and couldn't sleep, and the constant grind had affected my stomach, too.. For

four months,! had been ar fine, exam

ple of the man who is all run down.

"I had grown nervous and had lost

twenty pounds in less than , i two

months. I didn't feel as if I had; en

ergy enough to work a day through.

I was irritable and far from being

myself ' - "There can be but one answer -to this Tanlac story that's continued

every day," I decided. - If hundreds of level-headed men come 'in here and

praise Tanlac and say it has restored

their appetites, toned them up, made them sleep and generally benefited

them, it s must be true. So . I bought Tanlac.

"Now I am feeling just one hundred per cent better. -. I have a good appe

tite. My work looks good to ne and

I have the, energy , to take care of it Customer after customer says to me.

Clarence, what have you been doing to yourself that - you have changed
