., "But you must try to eat something," as Laura held out her glass !or more sherry. "You shouldn't drink that on an empty stomach." "Oh, It won't hurt me." Then grimly, "I'll take a good big dose of chloral when I get home." "Laura, you don't take chloral?" "Not often, but I've got to sleep now I can't stay awake and worry all night. And in that wretched little room Oh, you don't know!" "Stay here tonight; you can sleep in my dressing room." "No( it'll be just that much harder to go back in the morning." "Then I'm going home with you," impulsively. "We'll ride down on the top-.of the bus. the air'll make you eleepy. I'll tuck you in and wait until you get drowsy, so you'll not need chloral tonight." .."Oh, I shouldn't let you go you're ne-vpr out so late alone." But Helen was determined. She Insisted on starting right after dinner so they would, have plenty of time. It was a hot, sultry night, and the bus tops were crowded. When they left the bus, they walked through several blocks of a dreary boarding house district. On every stoop eat a tired, warm looking group, driven out of their stuffy rooms by the stifling heat. . They paused before a house a little shabbier than the rest. Two women and a man in shirtsleeves moved aside to allow them to pass. Laura's room was the second story back. As she lit the gas, Helen looked around with shuddering depression. Scarred wall paper, a narrow iron bed, a bureau with handleless drawers, a wash stand and two chairs. "Four dollars a week," announced Laura briefly. "There's a place across the street where I can get dinner for 40 cents. "What do you do for breakfast?" "Twenty-five cents at the same place, but now that I'm out of work, 111 have crackers and milk in my room." For a moment the hopeless depression of it all overwhelmed Helen. Then she forced a brisk, cheerful: "Well, we won't talk any more tonight. You get in bed and I'll read to you. While Laura undressed, Helen looked across the cluttered back yard to the dimly lit windows that gave glimpses of other dismal rooms, gloomily lighted with cheerless, unshaded gas jets. "Oh, if I could only go to sleep and never wake up," sighed Laura as she got into bed. "That's foolish. Things won't look so black in the morning they never do. Now close your eyes " And drawing a chair under- the flickering gas. Helen turned through the magazine she. had brought with her. Knowing there is a certain comfort in reading about others more wrteched than one's -self she turned to a story she had already read, a vivid picture of a tenement family in surroundings more sordid than these. Laura lay with closed eyes, but Helen felt she was listening. The story was long; it was after ten when she finished. "I'm all right now." drowsily. ".You mustn't stay any longer. I can't tell lyou how good you've " ; "Shsh. don't talk you'll only wake yourself up. Phone me tomorrow, and iet me know how you are," Helen turned off the gas. pushed the shade higher to let In every breath of air. and softly closed the door after her. There was no light, in the halls. Holding to the banister, she groped down the dark stairs. The roomers, dreading to go to their heat-baked rooms, still lingered on the stoops. . THE EXCEPTION.

home. In her room, the first thing she saw when she switched on the Iigths was the box from the cleane'rs The chiffon waist that had come that morning almost, ruined ! : All. day she had worried over it, worried, herself sick, but now it seemed a very trivial thing. Contrasted with Laura's very real misfortunes her own petty troubles were infinitesimal. As she went into the front room to raise the windows,' she glanced about with a thrilled appreciation of her home. After that dismal, grimy rooming house, it looked almost palatial. At that moment Helen's genuine distress over Laura's adversity was surmonted by a failing almost of exhilaration at the thought of her own comfortable, sheltered, care-free life. A sudden superstition chilled her. She must be more appreciative, more grateful for it all or it might be taken away from her. She must cease to anguish over trivial things, or fate might bring her, as it had brought Laura, some very real disaster. Another Story Tomorrow Copyright, 1916, fay the McClure Once there was little Morning Glory vine that did not want to climb up the trellis with its sisters, but thought it knew more than they did or the gardener who tried to direct i,ts growth. One morning it reached out and touched the grape arbor where the grape vine grew thick and high, and when its sisters saw what was happening they called to the little vine, "Come back, sister, and grow up this trellis with us: do not leave us." "I shall do nothing of the sort," answered the sausy and willful little vine. "If you are content to climb on that little trellis I am not. I want to grow high and be of some account; if I stay with you I can only grow to the top of the trellis, and besides that I shall be just like all of the other morning glories." "But, sister," the others cried, "are you not content to be just what God made you and be like the rest of us?" "No, I am not," answered the wayward sister. "I shall be the only Morning Glory on tht grape arbor, and everyone will see me and call me pretty. I am going to climb the grape arbor, and if you want to stay on the trellis you can; so. goodbye." "Oh, dear! Oh. dear! What will become of her?" sighed the sister blossoms. ' "The gardener will not want her to grow up there. This is her place." . So the wilful little vine clung to a tiny tendril of the grape vine and began to grow on the grape arbor. "What are you doing here?" asked the grape vine, when the Morning Glory grew up among the leaves. "Why don't you grow on your own trellis? This place belongs to the grape vines."

Newspaper Syndicate, New York. "I shall grow up here if I choose," answered the saucy little Morning Glory ; "you - are jealous .because I have a pretty blossom and you have none." But the next morning when the gardener came along he saw the Morning Glory and reached up and pulled it down, tearing the blossom and leaving the little vine hanging without a place to cling. The little Morning Glory was quite surprised that the gardener did not admire it for being so ambitious and growing up so high among the grapes, but it did not understand then where its place was and looked about for something else to climb upon. A ladder standing nea- caught the fancy next of the foolish little Morning Glory, and it reached out and began to climb on that. "Here at least, if I do not grow high up, I shall be the only one on the ladder, and I can twine about all I please." But one morning the gardener came agaii. and wanted the ladder, and down again he pulled the little Morning Glory, and this time he broke the vine off close to the trellis where its sisters grew. Discouraged, the little vine glanced up and saw its sisters looking lovingly down at it. "Come, stay . with us," they said , "the gardener knows best where you should grow; each one of

He says he's back in tho first-line trenches aeain." the vines has its place to climb. See, there is a place left bare where you should have grown. Stay with us." The little Morning Glory, willful no longer, glanced up "at the bare spot beside her sisters and began to climb, and the next morning she was blooming beside them, convinced at last that each blossom had its place on the trellis and that it would be content to fill the place God intended it to fill, and never be willful again.

In her present mood Caryl did not believe him. Her light silk was draggled and dusty, for she bad trailed its length along paths and roads this afternoon. Her white silk gloves -were soiled. She felt straggling whisps of her . hair clinging to her warm face and to her neck, damp with perspiration. She wished she was in her own room, where she could rest and get cool. Somerdyke, noting her change

of mood, spoke regretfully. "You're tired out," he said, "and it s all my fault. If you really must go home, you must promise to come with me again sometime. Now I shall call a taxicab and take you to your apartment." The possibility of this complication had not occurred to Caryl.. She had supposed she would part from Somerdyke, as she had met him, in a public place, and then go alone to her home. She was frightened at the thought of having her companion see the shabby lodging house on Twenty-second street. "Oh. no," she protested. "I prefer going alone really I do." "But I will not allow you to do so." Somerdyke declared firmly. "I am not in the habit of taking a lady out to luncheon and trotting her about the city until she is worn out, then leaving her to, get herself home as best she can. We will take a cab. my dear child, and you shall ride comfortably to your destination." What could she do? "I don't think." she stammered, "that my sister would quite approve of my coming home alone with a man." Her escort laughed teasingly. "Afraid of sister, eh?" he bantered. "Well, you needn't tell her that a dreadful man brought you home. She is not likely to be hanging out of the front window of your apartment watching for you, is she?" No but " she faltered, "I have an errand to attend to on my way downtown. There is a friend 1 was to call on .late this afternoon, and she will be expecting me." "The man looked at her keenly. "Where does the friend live?'" he asked." The girl thought fast. She must invent some excuse. This man knew she SO PARADOX. The pretty girl ah, bless her eyes!

She is from my old home and is stopping in the city for only a day" or two. That is the reason I must see her this afternoon. She will be leaving tomorrow morning." "I see," mused Somerdyke. "Where is she stopping?" The onlv hotel whose name came to

the girl's mind at the instant was the Waldorf. "She's at the Waldorf-Astoria," she answered quickly. "Then we will take a cab there." Somerdyke said. "You shall not walk when you are so tired. You can make your call and I will wait downstairs for you." Again she was startled at the position in which she might possibly be put. Surely she had need of all her wits at this juncture! "Oh, no, you must not wait," she begged. "It would make me nervous to think I was taking so much of your time." "1 have time to burn," the man informed her.

cide to stay and dine with my friend." "But you said your sister would be worried if you did not return to dinner," the man reminded her. "Oh, well. I can telephone her," she said. The idea of a telephone in Mrs. Hallorn's cheap lodging house was so grotesque that she felt her lips twitch with amusement in spite of her present predicament. "All right," agreed Somerdyke, with reluctance. He assisted her into a taxicab he had hailed, seating himself beside her after directing the chauffeur where to go. There ensued an awkward silence, and the cab had turned into Thirty-third street before Caryl spoke. "My friend is very fussy." she said timidly, "and I am afraid she would think it shocking if she knew that I was going about New York with a man whom she did not know as a friend of my family. We might meet her if you went into the hotel with me, so please don't go in." "Very well." replied the man. He would argue the matter no longer. At the hotel entrance he helped her t alight and stood, head uncovered, as he shook hands with her. "Good-bye," he said softly, "until we meet again. By the way, I want your address." "I'll mail it to you," she replied hastily. "Good-bye, and thank you." "See here." he begau. but she hurried away without giving him time to remind her that she had not his address. He stood looking after her as she entered the hotel, then, with a shrug of the shoulders, handed tbt fare to the cabman, and, when the fellow drove off, stood for a long moment thinking.
