Wherein Helen Lives a Crowded Hour

effect. There now. You all right again. But
your room is bitterly cold. Won't you come into
mine? 1t is quite near, and my stove has been
alight all day
Helen. opening her eyes, found herself gazing
up at Mrs. de la We're. Real sympathy ranks high
among good deeds. The girls lips quivered. Re-
turning life brought with it tears.
The woman whom she had regarded social

friendly arm round her neck Don't cry YOU

Helen recovered her senses with exceeding rapid

door. What! Mr.. Spenser-did he"
He did. Come, now | shall tell YOU all the
trying details when you seated in my easy
chair and wrapped in the Quickest Shetland shawl

You have been exceedingly

No, l haven't. But my heart

SHE made a great effort; but
she could not stif1e the sob in
her voice. There was knock at
the door.

manded Reginald de la We're.

sadly.

II Tucumcari forgets sewerage
this summer It is going to be at
her peril. The CITY has grown too
large to keep clean without it, and
cleanliness next to goodness, will
also apply to health. The only
argument against sewerage is the

It.. On the other hand We can,
