OR several days Warren had not
been himself He had seemed
worried and strangely preoccu-
pied. To all OF Helens anxious ques-
lions he replied evasively. And when
she persisted, he had grown irritable;
said he was all right, IF she would
only leave him alone"
You're sure it's not about-specu-
lating? You haven't lost anything?"
she asked fearfully. several times.
And he answered CURLY, "Of course
not. Can't you stop harping on that?"
She tried to believe him. but she
was only half convinced. One night
she woke to find him walking up and
down the room, a lighted cigar IN ais
hand.

you sleep?'
"Oh, I'm just nervous, that's all.
Thought I'd get UP and smoke awhile;
I'll be all right when I finish this
But Warren''-
I'm all right, I told you," replied,

She went back but. not to sleep. And.
for over an hour, she heard him NOV
ing about his room. She longed to go
to him to ask what was wrong. But
she knew it would only irritate him.
Barely Touched His Food.
The next morning he barely touched
his breakfast, and hurried off to MS
office
That day was long and anxious
one for Helen. She could not keep her
thoughts on the baby or on her work
Warren's worried face was constantly
before her. And she was haunted with
a feeling of impending trouble. About
o'clock she called him up, saying
she just wanted to her from him-that
she could not help being anxious
And he replied brusquely that he was
all right but had no time to answer
foolish telephone calls.
Helen left the phone with quivering
lips. And then she tried to excuse his
curtness- perhaps she shouldn't have
telephoned when he Was so busy
1t was late when he came hfme Din
ner had been waiting some time. One
glance al his pale, Ia ggard face Yeri-
fled all Helen's fears. Instinctfvely she
ran and put her arms about him.
"Oh, Warren-Warren, what is it?"
For a moment he stood passive, then
he shook her off angrily
Now, let's not have any heroics. I've
had all I can stand today without that"
"But I want to Help You"
But I just want to help you. 1 can
bear anything if you will only tell me
what it is, and let me help you"
Well, you can't help me-except by
leaving me alone. When I've anything
to tell you I'll let you know

She could hear Della moving about in
the dining room, putting ner dishes

longer would Warren figure there IN

There was no sound from the kitchen
or dining room now. Della had fin

because he was the best man for the
position, and nominated by the best

our habitual actions. In 1910 people
began to choose men and measures,
and not parties, and that is going to

That is the way to talk and act in
