Helen and Warren; Their Married Life By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of Their Married Life," -Author of "The Journal of a Neglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," Etc.

She could hear the murmur of the doctor's euave voice. What was he aying? She hated him for that overt grin. However ludicrous the ituation, it was Inexcusable that he ,hould be amused. The door opened and the doctor ame out. "I think Mr. Curtis will be all right ow," with professional gravity. "I'm orry you were 60 needlessly alarmed, ut there have been so many fatal ; listakes lately I can understand your ; nxlety." With as much dignity as his flapping bathrobe would permit, the docor bowed himself out. When the door closed after him the apartment was painfully quiet. Not i bound came from Warren's room. Helen started to go in, then she paused, her band on the knob. What ould she say? How could she pass ,t off? What attitude would best as.'UJKe his mortification? He was lying with his face to the wall. Softly she moved about, straightening the disordered room. The milk bottle and glass she took back to the kitchen, glad of an excuse for action to relieve the conscious silence. "Dear, will both windows be too much?" Her voice was strained in her effort to make it casual. "No," was the curt, monosyllable answer. "Is that all?" She stood ready to turn out the light "Is there anythin?: I can get you?" "No." So he was going to ignore It. That was her cue. She longed for him to storm out, to carry it off in some high handed way. This silence was ho unlike him; it was such a palpable admission of his utter disconcertion. Only the nervous ticking of the clock stirred the stillness, as Helen l.iy beside him. She strove to control her thoughts. It seemed a sort oi disloyalty to dwell on the incident that was now so ludicrous.

Then came the disquieting thought of Mr. Wallace. The comparison forced itself upon her. It is rarely that a woman, who really loves her husband, ever dissects him frankly. Her very love glamours over hi3 failings. "Turn over here," Warren was drawing her to him. "Turn over and tell me what a blithering idiot I am. That's what you're thinking. Eh? "Well, this is one on me, all right, but don't rub it in too hard." Helen threw her arm around him in an ecstacy of relieved Joy. "Oh, my dear! My dear! Nobody but you would be big enough to admit it. Oh, I love you I love you for it. Oh, there's nobody like you nobody half 60 big and fine. And think, dear, how thankful we ought to be that was only. " "Only vinegar and salt," grimly. "Yes, the genuine stuff might have done the trick. Wouldn't have sounded very dignified, would it 'Warren E. Curtis succumbs to a dose of brass polish.' " "Oh, dear, don't joke about it! Think about Mr. Wallace." "That's right. Kitten," with sudden gravity. "Poor Wallace and he's mighty game. It's easy enough to spout about 'a few years or a few hours,' but when you're up against it, It's a whole lot different." ' (New Story Tomorrow.)

For a moment there was silence. Then Mr. Mailowe leaned back easily in his chair and, removing his tortoise-shell rimmed eye-glasses, tapped the desk thoughtfully with them as he replied: "That was regrettable, of course, Mr. Hamilton. It must have been distressing in the extreme to Miss Lawton, coming Just at this time, but it would have had to be revealed sooner or later, you know such a stupendous fact could not be hidden. There is no extraordinary secrecy about the matter. When the attorneys have completed their settlement of the estate, everything will be clear to you and Miss Lawton. I must naturally decline to give you any explanation which would be, Just now, merely an uncorroborated opinion. I appreciate your feelings in this sudden, almost overwhelming trouble which has come to Miss Lawton,' and I sympathize with both of you most heartily; but one must have patience. You will pardon me, but you are both very young, and that is the hardest lesson of all for you to learn." His watery eyes beamed in fatherly benevolence upon Ramon, and Anita's fiance felt his gorge rising. The older man reminded him irresistibly of a cat licking its chops before a canary's cage, and it was with difficulty he restrained himself to remark coldly: "You told me at the beginning of this interview, Mr. Mailowe, that I did well in coming to you, since you could give me a more comprehensive idea of the circumstances than anyone else, yet you have disclosed nothing

To begin with, the girls at the lace counter were out of sorts and tired Julia, because of the headache that had tor-'-ired her nerves on Sunday; her fellov clerks, 'because of the gay experiences of the day before. After the fashion of New Yorkers, they sought recreation so strenuously and to such late hours on their one holiday that they were utterly fagged out when vorking time came again. To make unpleasant conditions worse the day was hot. Summer, in departing, seemed to be mustering all her forces pf heat in one final effort to cause discomfort. The atmosphere of the store never too good, was warm and moist, and filled with a hundred warring odors. The purchasers at the lace counter were exacting and it took all of Julia's self-control to keep her impersonal smile on duty and her voice calm and polite in spite of the myriad annoyances that beset her today.

An extremely attractive semi-sport or motor hat in white satin is shown here. The crown is gored and joined so that each seam is finished with a fine cording. The brim is not very wide and may he worn rolled up or turned down. The only trimming evident is the band of silk braid and the odd rosette of black grosgrain ribbon and white center.

GARDEN AIRDOME ATTRACTS DESPITE THE COLD WEATHER Considering the cool weather, a good sized audience greeted the Maurice Musical Comedy Co. in their change of bill last night at the Airdome, and again Baby Noriene carried away the honors of the evening by her cunning ways and sweet songs. The child is one of the cleverest of child-entertainers, and each evening has even carried the honors away from the grown-ups in the cast. The bill presented last evening was overflowing with comedy, and the three comedians kept the audience in laughter each time they put In an appearance. The chorus was enlarged last evening by the arrival of two more girls from Chicago and with its bright wardrobe the chorus made a stunning appearance. Several unusual novelties in the way of chorus formation and dances were used, and merited the applause each received.

beyond a few vague suggestions to any other man I should have said, insinuations and generalities which we were already familiar with. Can't you give me any reaj information?" "My dear boy, 1 intend to tell you all that I know and can verify." The silky smoothness of the magnate's tones had deepened in spite of himself, with a steely undernote. "I don't know when the project which spelled his ruin was first conceived by Mr. Lawton, but I believe that he started to put it Into active operation over three years ago. He went into it with his usual cold nerve, and then, when the pendulum did not swing his way he kept heaping more and mere of his securities on the pyre of his ambition and pride in himself, until he was forced to obtain large loans. That he did seek and obtain such loans I can prove to you at the present moment, in one instance at least, for it was through me the affair was negotiated. I think he fully realized his enormous error, but refused

to admit it even to himself, and strove by sheer force of will-power to carry a hopeless scheme to success." "Sought loans! He Pennington Lawton required loans and obtained them through you?" Ramon almost started from his chair. "Mr. Mailowe, you will forgive me, but I can ?- "-?ly credit it. I know, of course, Inanciers, even those who cont their operations on a far lesser sl,j than Mr. Lawton, frequently seek loans, but your manner and your speech just now led me to believe that you had some other motive in doing what you did for Mr. Lawton. From what you have told me I gather that it was owing more to your friendship for him, than to your financial relations, that he called upon you at that time." "And it was to my friendship at that time that he appealed, Mr. Hamilton." "Appealed? I cannot imagine Pennington Lawton appealing to any man. Why should he appeal to you?" (Continued.)

LITTLE MAIDA'S MERMAID. Once upon a time there lived by .the sea a very poor fisherman. Most of the time he had made a decent living for his large family, but somehow the fish seemed to grow scarce, many of the people moved away from the village and he was poorer than ever. The fisherman had two boys. The older one was a strong lad, but selfish, and he imposed always on Maida, who was delicate. One day the father said to the big lad. "Komo, I am ill today. You and Maida must take my place in the boat. Be sure and work hard for their is little to eat in the house and not a penny with which to buy food." So the two boys ran off to the sea-

may not be lucky enough to get home a second time." The mermaid wrapped the pearls around her neck. Then, putting her hands into the golden hair that hung down her back, she took from it a comb which she placed in Maida's hand. It seemed to be some sort of dull shell, but the boy put it in his pocket. Then, with a glad cry, she plunged back into the waves, ond soon sank beneath the surface. "I will pay you well for that blow tomorrow, my arm is too sore now!" shouted Komo, as he ran home, with Maida following closely. In the fisherman's hut it was cold and bleak. A few fagots burned on the hearth, but there was no food in

shore whether their old boat was rock- j the empty cupboard and the children ing on the waves. When they came j stoo(j around a bare table crying for in sight of the beach Komo caught a f00(j

view of a strange creature sitting on

a rock a short way from the sand. The body from the waist down was that of a fish, but from that of the waist up it was that of a woman. The mermaid had long golden hair, and was gazing far out at sea. "Don't disturb her; leave her alone, Komo!" shouted Maida, as his brother waded out from shore. But Komo paid no attention. Creepi"" up on the mermaid, he seized her around her waist and dragged her to the beach. The frightened creature struggled and beat about wildly, but Komo only laughed. "Here is a pretty necklace. I can sell it for a hundred bits of gold,"' he said, jerking from the mermaid's throat a string of big pink pearls. "You do not need these and we are poor." "Oh! I do need them," pleaded the mermaid. "It is my magic necklace, and without it I cannot return to my home under the waters give it back to me for pity's sake!" "Give it back to her at once," said Maida to the older lad. "Never!" cried Komo. "We can buy a plenty with these big pearls." Seeing the poor little mermaid so cruelly treated aroused the anger of Maida. He determined that at any cost he would help her, so seizing a stick of wood that lay on the beach, he hit Komo a sharp blow on his right arm. The necklace dropped on the beach and Maida grabbed it quickly. Komo howled with pain and danced about in his anger. "Here is your string of pearls." said

"Father." cried Komo, "I had a prize in my hands, enough to buy us all everything we need, but foolish Maida threw it all away all he got in return was a shell comb." Maida blushingly took the comb out of his jacket and laid it on the table. But strange to say it did not now look like shell it shone in the dim twilight with a shimmer as of pure gold, while all over it gleamed big diamonds and rubies, jewels which were worth the crown of the Kink. Komo did hot know what to say and Maida was astonished. "It is the comb of the daughter of the sea king," cried the father. "You saved her, Maida, and she has given you a rich reward. These gems are worth thousands and we car now live in comfort for the rest of our lives, thanks to your brave deed." Tomorrow's story "The Robbers." Part I.
