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

"Dear, It's that after-dinner coffee!

It always keeps you awake." "It does, eh?" Warren punched and turned over his pillow. "Then why In blazes do you have It?" "Why, we have to for company "o many people are used to it" "Huh, you think It looks smart to serve It in the library that's about the size of It. Now turn over there! I might get to sleep if you'd stop floundering around." Helen moved over to the extreme edge of the bed. The hissing of a closed radiator, and a faint flapping of a front room shade dominated the t Hence. "Suffering cats! Can't you stop that Infernal racket?" . Shrinkingly Helen left the protective warmth of the bed, groped her way through the chill dark and quieted the wind-fluttered shade by drawing it above the sash. "Dear," standing shlveringly by the bed, "don't you want to change sides? Maybe that'll help." With a grunt Warren rolled over, as she crept into his place. "Huh," . sniffing, "this pillow's all smelt up with cold cream and stuff. Here, give me mine." The pillows exchanged, Helen etralghtened the tumbled covers and again settled down to a eleep-seeking silence. "One hundred, ninety-nine, ninetyeight, ninety-seven . . . trying to induce drowsiness to counting a hundred backward. "Sixty-five, sixtyfour, sixty-three . , ." That drain pipe under the ice box when had Dora cleaned it out? If it should run over and ruin the celling below! She must see about it the first thing In the morning. "One hundred, ninety-nine, ninetyeight, ..." she began anew, but at forty again she lost count. The front door latch she must have that fixed. It only caught when it was lifted. It might be open now. Warren had come In last. "Dear?" in a tentative whisper, for his uneven breathing Implied he was still awake. "Eh?" "Are you sure you closed the front door?" "Eh? What's that? Say, what the devil are you trying to do keep me awake all night? See here, we've got to have separate beds! Tou can loll around and snooze all day but I've got to work!" "Oh, you know I never sleep during the day!" flamingly. "Well, we'll have separate beds that's settled. Not twin beds separate rooms. We'll have a bed put in your dressing room. Hold on there, what're yo uup to now?" "I'm going In on the couch you think I keep you awake." "You stay right where you are you'll catch cold and be whining around m for a week." Then, with a belligerent kick at the bed clothes: "What's the matter with these covers? Can't you make that girl tuck 'em in at the foot?" "You've pulled them up. Wait, I'll fix them." The bedclothes anchored, Helen once more settled down. This time she counted sheep going over a fence, but her mind kept wandering. Then

i she tried thinking of dissociated ob

jects a sleep-inducing method of which she had read. The rapid visualizing of unrelated things was supposed to confuse the mind and produce drowsiness. "Key, rug, hammer, muff, sponge, table, comb, brush ..." No, comb and brush were associated. She began again. "Candlestick, tooth paste, cushion, umbrella, car, trunk, pen, blotter." No, pen and blotter were allied. Curious how bard it was to think of unrelated things. Instead of producing drowsiness, the effort left her alertly wide awake. With a faint preparatory "whir," audible in the night silence, the front room clock chimed two muffled strokes. . Warren, who had been fidgeting and tossing in restless irritability, now sat up with an explosive: "Well, I can't Btand this! I'm going to get up and read." "Oh, dear, that'll only excite you you'll be awake all night. Let me heat you some milk maybe that'll help." "Milk?" with a snort. "That's what Carrie always takes. Won't take but a minute to heat it." Already Helen was up, fumbling for her bathrobe and slippers. On the way to the kitchen she tried the front door it was securely latched. Shivering with cold she poured the milk into a white enameled saucepan and lit the gas. Three soiled tea towels hung on the rack. The roller towel was soiled too. In the sink an unwashed pudding pan had been left to soak. Dora was getting more sloppy every day she would speak to ber tomorrow. Opening the knife drawer for a spoon to stir the milk, there among the kitchen cutlery gleamed a silver fork. And Dora had been repeatedly cautioned never to leave the good silver in the kitchen! A sizzling sound, and the milk was boiling over before she could turn off the gas. Aroused by this unaccustomed disturbance of the night, Pussy PurrMew came running in with blinking inquiry. "No, this is not for you," crossly Helen pushed her away, as she poured out the milk. A light shone from the library. Warren, in his heavy dressing gown, was ensconced In the big chair with a book. "Oh, dear, youH take cold. Drink this and come back to bed." "Take that stuff away," irritably. "Bring me the Scotch, some hot water and sugar and a lemon." Another trip out to the cold kitchen and Helen brought the things in on a tray. Then shiveringly she crept into the now chilled bed, for Warren had left the cavers thrown back and the sheets were. icy. A long half hour she lay In wakeful, uncomplaining silence before she called a wistful: "Dear, it's almost three. Aren't you coming to bed?" "When I get good and ready. You go to sleep." ' "You know I can't sleep with you in there. Dear, we'll both be sick if " But Warren had risen and slammed the library door. A faint light still shone through the transom, making visible the gloomy darkness of the room. A cab clattered by, the horse's tired hoofs dragging on the asphalt. . A distant ferry boat "mooed" a plaintive call. With the depression of a sleepless night, Helen's thoughts were distort-

edly morbid. Hazy plans of going away, of staying away until Warren really needed her, of earning her own

living and of listening with cold re

moteness to his fervored pleadings

for her to come back all these vag

aries finally blending into an exhaust ed oblivion. A streak of sunlight slanted the bed

Helen sat up, and with both hands

brushed back her disheveled hair.

Dazedly she stared at the bathroom door through which came the sound

of a vigorous splashing to the whist ling of a lively air.

The door flew open and Warren swung out, rubbing his shower-soaked

head with a huge Turkish towel. His

that reflected her pallor and her heavy eyes, darkly ringed. Absorbed in his propped-up paper, Warren did not trouble to glance across at her. He dispatched his bacon and eggs, two cups of coffee and four slices of. toast with unimpaired appetite. . Forcing herself to sip a glass of orange juice, Helen thought bitterly of her anxious solicitude lest the sleepless night should leave him ill. She jnight have known that only she would be left jaded and nerve racked. When she went to the door to see him off he was again struck by her wanness. "Huh, look as though you'd been out on a jamboree. Better go back again and hit the feathers. Pretty bum sport if you can't stand the loss of a few, hours' sleep." Then, stepping into the elevator, he waved her a careless "So long." . From the , library window Helen watched him swinging down the street. At the corner he paused to light a. cigar, and then strode on, whirling his cane in an exuberance of energy. With mingled envy and rancor, she looked after him. It was the woman's innate resentment of the virile male, the "free, strong animal," unhampered by the inherited curse of femininity nerves.

THEATORIUM Helen Holmes in "A Lass of the Lumberlands," coming to the Theatorium soon. - The world of photoplay followers who have thrilled to Helen Holmes' daring in "The Girl and the Game," has in early stort for itself an even blggerthrill in "A Lass of the Lumberland." Miss Holmes herself considers it by far the best thing she has done, because of the unusual opportunities it affords for the sort of situations and acting she is famed for. Furthermore, the setting of the story is something new in moving pictures, the lumbering Industry in its native home, the great snow-mantled pine woods. Throughout it is a story of the lumberlands, and the characters chosen could not inhabit a weak play. Small wonder that "The Lass of the Lumberlands" is strong as it is indeed a melodrama of the most real kind; and those who watch it week after week as its fifteen chapters unfold, will go on eyesight

journey into the very heart of these forests of pine, to the laying of corduroy railroad, the forming of immense log jams, and the blowing up of the key log, with a charge of dynamite under water.

skin glowed, and he fairly radiated robust virility. "Not up yet!, Feel bum? You look it." "Oh, I feel wretched! Don't you? What time did you come to bed?" "About five," briskly, flinging down the towel, his hair rumpled to a grotesque cockatoo. "Why, dear, you didn't sleep " "Huh, takes more than one night to knock me out. Stir your stumps! Get under a cold shower that'll set you up." Dizzily, with a blind! ag headache, Helen dragged herself out of bed. Just now Warren's brisk energy seemed a hateful thing. " The very thought of a cold shower set her ashiver. At the breakfast table even the roee-pink negligee and boudoir cap could not soften her haggardness. She shrank from the sideboard mirror

If your stomach is not In proper shape your food is more of a poison than a food. You will suffer from headache, sour stomach, nausea and foul breath, and eventually chronic

Vltalis is especially recommended to correct these evils. Here is the testimony of Miss Aurea Girad of 40

Berkeley St., Boston, Mass.

Miss Girad goes on to say: "I have suffered from Indigestion and constipation for several years and nothing

that I ate seemed to do me much good, all food fermenting on my stomach, causing headaches, sour stomach, constipation, and at times nausea. "I was so nervous I could not sleep only a few hours at a time, wake up with' a nervous start or jump and would get up in the morning feeling just as tired as if I had never been to bed, and suffered untold agony after eating. "I was told I had ulcers of the stomach, and would have to undergo an operation. This I would not lo, as my nerves were in such bad shape I could never stand it I tried Vltalis and after taking a few bottles I can say publicly for the benefit of others, I am a well woman today," Vltalis will do as much for' you.
