Married Life the Second Year

she still persistently refused TO let
them send for Warren.
Only she knew the cause of her III
ness-that midnight walk in the yard
with only her bedroom slippers and a
light wrap over her night gown.
And when she had come in, and was
feeling her way through the hall in the
dark, her cropping hand had touched
the telephone, And, at that moment.
had come the wild impulse to call up
Warren in New York. She did not stop
to think of the cost-nor of anything
except that she wouiL end her sus-
pense.
For over half an hour she had stooa
there -shivering in the dark until Cen
tral could make the connection. And
then, at last she had heard Warren's
faint Hello and when she asked
wildly-what was the matter-wny
hadn't he written-why hadn't she
her off, furious that she should have
gone to the expense of this long dis
lance call.
Fell Sobbing ON the Floor.
And she had fallen sobbing on the
hall floor beneath the telephone and
crouched there in the dark, too wretched
to move. When, at length, she CROPPED
her way up the stairs, she had thrown
herself on the bed by the open window.
still in the dew drenched gown.
The next morning she had had a
binding headache and a high fever.
And yet she had risen with the deter
mination to go down to the telephone
office and pay for her midnight call to
New York, so it would not be put on
her fathers BILL They would. then.
never know that she had been desper-
ate enough to try to reach Warren in
this way. If she could only go before
breakfast. before anyone saw her and
realized how i'll she was.
She had slipped on her hat and coat
and hurried down stairs, calling out
to her mother, who was in the dining
room:
I'm going for little walk before
breakfast. I'll be back in Is or 90
minutes"
But. as she started out. she had met
her father on the porch. In one glance
he had seen something was wrong.
why, Helen, what's the matter9''
Nothing, only 1 didn't sleep very
well, and 1 thought I'd go for a walk
before breakfast
But you're sick You're not able TO
go out. Come here and let me see YOU"
''Oh. no; I'll feel better when I get
a little air.
Then the Fever Broke.
But he had taken one of her hands
and looked at her closely. Then he had
drawn her into the sitting room. made

noticing the mail which had been laid
on the table. he absently looked it over.
This was the first of the month, and
there were a number of bills. As he
tore open one from the local telephone
company he was amazed to find an item
for $3.50 long distance service to New
York, May 20, 11:45 p. m.
He gazed at IL in astonishment. There
must be some mistake. And then flash
ed the thought-could it be Helen +?
The night Of May 25th. And it was the
morning after that that Helen had been
taken H.
Just then Mrs. Allen passed the door.
Mother, come here a moment"

know anything about this long distance
message to New York at midnight. May
25th? That was the night before Helen
was taken i'll. Could she have called
up Warren then?"
A startled look crossed Mrs. Aliens
face. "Oh, that explains it-and 1
thought it vas a dream"

down.
Half an hour later she had been in
the throes of a violent chill. He had
put her to bed and installed her moth
er as nurse. Before night her fever
had been 1914
The next day she had been worse.
And when he had wanted to send for
Wlarren-she had refused to let him. It
was not until now. the eighth day of
her illness, that he had telegraphed
Warren without her knowledge
He had sent the message about seven
that morning. At three o'clock came
this reply:
Dr. NJ. G. Allen, Carterstown. Mo-:
Is my coming Imperative? Almost
impossible to come now. Wire if con-
dition Is critical
Warren L. Curtis.
With a muttered oath, Dr. Allen
gazed at the telegram in his hand.

this reply:

Mrs. Allen came in just then and
saw the crumpled telegram on the ia

telling her that he couldn't live without
her.
Certainly, if a man is in love with a
grill and is estranged from her, no
matter for what cause, or whether she
is rich or poor, it is his place to go to
her frankly and honestly and try TO
straighten out thesdifficulty.
It is then up to her to accept the
olive branch or decline it If she is

Election has convinced her that their
marriage would be a mistake, or his
poverty and her money makes a barrier
between them, she has. at least, the OPP
portunity of saying so: and If it is
merely some little silly misunderstand-
ing that only needs a word of explana-
ton to clear away, he gives her the
golden chance Of securing their happi-
uess.
OF course an exceptionally broad
minded girl or a woman of mature
years, might make the first overtrues
of peace TO a supersensitive lover; but
even in such a case a far-seeing woman
would argue that she would have little
chance of happiness with a man VINO
let the financial question dominate the
love problem
A Supersensftive Sweetheart.
Such a man would keep his feelings
spread all over the place so that il
would be impossible for his wife to
move without stepping on them. If she
inadvertently said mine instead of
ours" he would go off into sullen
grouches; if, she ever asserted the
slightest financial independence he
would have such Mysteries that she
would have to grovel before him for a
week apologizing and she would gen.
orally have TO handle him with such
velvet gloves that he wouldn't be worth
the trouble.
The only poor man that it is safe
for a rich girl to marry is the kind
who doesn't care a rap about money,
who says to her, settle what you've
got on yourself and enjoy it 1 can
make a living, and I'm not thinking
about the money, but about you. and
you are worth ten million billions to

A GENTLE old matchmaker is
~ much distressed because young
4 n couple of lovers in whom he is
greatly interested. have had a falling
out and broken off their engagement.
and he wants to know how he may
reunite them.
What complexities the situation is
that the girl is rich, and the young
man is poor and proud, and that keeps
him from urging on a marriage that
would mean pecuniary advantage to
himself
He takes the naughty attitude of ac-
ouiescing in her aioofness-a sort of
standoff position that says as plainly
as words. IF you don't want me as
badly as I want you, there's nothing
doing in the love line"
This state of affairs is enough to
discourage any Cupid; but the only
thing he can do is to arrange an acci-
dental meeting between the estranged
sweethearts- and trust TO love TO do the
rest
If there's any genuine affection in
their hearts, they will rush into each
others arms, and the girl will sob out
her loneliness and despair on tn second
button of the mans waitscoat and he
will call himself brute. and all the
rights and wrongs of the case VIII be
settled in a kiss.
Rich or Poor, They Crave Love.
In this particular quarrel it would
seem that the man is at fault and that
the only reason he. doesn't try to make
UP with the girl is because she is rich
He is so afraid that he will appear to
be trying to establish a claim on her
pocketbook that he is willing to sacri-
flee her and ner maidenly modesty. He
wants all the advances to a reconcilia-
ton 10 come from her, and he ignores
the fact that It is just as humiliating
for q rich girl as it is for a poor girl
TO throw herself at a mans head
Little Miss Croesus is just the same
sort OF a girl as little Miss Poverty.
She is just as anxious to be loved for

The professor said that he would
rather have corn ground than the sum,
mer fallow as far as preparing the
soil for a crop Of grain. In case the
season should be a wet one,then the
grain on the summer fallow would
produce more straw than that on the
corn ground. When questioned as ia
narrowing grain he said that this grain
mentioned above was narrowed foul
times. First when the grain was just
coming up. When it was four to i've
inches high, third when it was six to
seven inches and the fourth time when
it was nine to ten inches high. He
thought that If the grain had not been
given those four borrowings that the
yields would have been much less. He
also stated that the amount of seed
to SOW should be less under dry con.
ditions. That not over a bushel
