family descents, finds many Difficult
ties. from the fact that vital records
were not kept in this country as they
are in Europe and consequently authOrl-
ties are not easily located For this
reason the National Genealogical So
ciety is heartily endorsing the effort
OF the American Medical association
10 have uniform compulsory laws
throughout the country requiring the
public registration Of all vital Stats

If marriage records could be found
showing the family name Of the mother,
as is customary in Europe. many te-
diOus quests might have been saved
For instance. Abigail Lee. who claims
her descent from John Carver. govern
or of Massachusetts. cannot complete
her family record because she cannot
find the maiden name Of the great
grandmother upon her mothers side,
although the marriage took place in
northern Pennsylvania and the records
before that are satisfactorily estab-
llsned, as are those since
Pulling Omission.
One Of the greatest puzzles to Ameri-
can genealOgists is contained IN the
question Governor Dudley OF Massa-
chUsetts married Dorothy WhOF There
are hundreds Of persons in the United
States who trace their ancestry back
to this old governor who married Doro-
try in 1884 but the blank IS
always left upon every family record

though thousands Of dollars have been
spent to fill il in.
1t is encouraging to know that all
omissions of family names are not
hopeless and that they are likely TO be

THE DREAM
BY LOuIse HeiIgers.

~ ATURDAY afternoon. So It nat
urally follows that the pubs"
were full.
Inside the Windsor Wives" a man
sat in a corner drinking by himself
A clay pipe stuck out Of one corner
of his mouth, his earth-sOiled boots
stretched luXuriOusly over the sanded
floor. he was as near Nirvana, II II
had not been for a secret fear, as a
man of his class could be-
Presently the fear came to pass
The swinging doors fell back to admit
a tail, lean woman, wrapped in black
and white check shawl; a sailor hat
of small proportions perched dizzlly
on her head.
until they fell upon the man IN the
corner. upon whom they rested with
the rage of q woman defrauded Of her
just dues
might ha' thort it. Drinkin' away the
rent, you swine, and me with nothin'
in my inside"
The man in the corner did not move.
He stared at her stOlidlv out Of red
trimmed eyes. the while he cursed her
with the glib cOarseness Of his kind.
The other habitues Of the bar
scarcely troubled 10 turn their heads.
They are used, in these East End bars,
to the eruptiOns Of haggard, shawled
red, tOil-WOrn hands stretched out to
save what is more precious TO them
than anything on earth, with the sole
exception Of their marriage lines
their housekeeping money.
The bartender, however presently
(when the shrill-vOiced woman burst
forth with q return vOlley Of abuse)
stopped rubbing the counter to observe
pleasantly that il would be as well for
Bill to take the "missus out and drown
'er. or do summit 10 stop her jaw He
didn't want any blOOmin coppers about
the place"
Married life" he went on senten-
tiOusly when the door had swung 10
again upon their noisy departure, was
in his opinion "a good training ground
for hell" Personally he had no use
for it
It was a little over an hour after
wards that the man returned to his old
seat in the corner. With the pewter

ing forth a stream Of acrid smoke, he
could afford TO disregard the banter
ing inquiries Of his friends as to how
he had eTaded censorship.
With his feet stuck out before him
in his favOrite attitude, he gave him
self up TO dreaming. 1t was a lovely
dream. His red-rimmed eyes glOated
over il.
He dreamt his wife was dead.
Presently he ceased to dream and
his head fell forward on his breast in
stertorOus slumber.
When he awoke. the drink had gone
out of him, but the dream he had
dreamt before he slept woke with him.
He staggered heavily to his feet. his
eyes staring, straining in front Of him.

crossed diZZily upon lines, with clang

pushed his way through the door and
breathed the cold air greedily, as he
came out upon the wet pavement. The
rain was falling, everywhere the light
flared from out the dark, so many
yellow eyes glazing at him. as he stood
looking fOolishly about him.

He had Creamt he had killed his wife.
She had been nagging at him. stand

been nothing about her IS she stood
there to remind him OF the rosy
checked girl he had married. plump
and with smoothly banded hair. A
black hatred had seized upon him as he
looked He had hit her once, hard.
upon the head with a shovel She had
gone down like a log.
He had never known before how
easy il was to kill a woman!
But is was dream, all a dream.
When ne got home he would find her
shrewish and scOldins as usual He
put up his hand 10 his forehead. 1t
was wet with sweat.
Suddenly he broke into a run. But
his footsteps Jagged again when he
reached the dirty brick building that
yielded them a home. His knees
ajar. He pushed it open. No light
showed within.

But only the silence answered
When presently his finger striking
a match sent a blue squirt Of gas-flame
with little hiss TO break the dark
ness, he saw why.

MARRIED Lie THE THIRD YEAR
Helen Learns That, In a
Woman, Independence Does
Not Always Mean Happiness

TT WAS Delias evening off, and
when about o'clock the doorbell
rang. Helen had to answer it.
It was the postman with a special
delivery letter. Mrs. Florence Morri-
SON." read the address. Helen took it
back and knocked on Mrs. Morrison's
door. There was no answer at first,
and then a faint come in"
Mrs. Morrison was lying on the bed.

and bottle Of smelling salts beside
her.

letter And then, hesitatingly as she
turned to leave the room. Are You

Not unless you stay with me little
while. I've got the blues, I guess-do
you ever have them?"
Helen smiled, 4 think we all do"
Are you busy-cOuld you stay for
a few mOments2"
Except for occasionally meeting her
in the hall Helen had hardly seen Mrs
Morrison since she rented the room.
She was an exemplary rOOmer as she
made no demands or trouble and kept
wholly to herself.
And now Helen could not help but
be surprised at her unexpected re-
quest TO stay with her"
Don't you want to read your let
ter?" taking a low chair by the bed.
What the Letter Said.
ooh, I know what it is. It's some
money one OF the girls at the store
owed me. She said she was going to

As she carelessIy tore open the en-
velope, two ten dollar bills fell out.
She glanced at the note that came with
them and handed it to Helen, with the
remark,

Helen read the note wonderingly.
Dear Mrs. Morrison:

whole thing! If 1 dared I'd throw it
up tomorrow. But you can't throw up
a $50 a week job-when you haven't
saved any more than 1 have"
sixty dollars a week." murmured
Helen IT seemed a great deal for
woman TO make. And her heart leaped
with the thought Of all she could do
II only she could earn half that.
Yes, l suppose il does seem a lot"
WEAKLY And yet it isn't-when YOU
come to think of it. I've had $50 a
week for two years, and I haven't
saved $500"
Helen made no cOmmtnt But she
could not help but glance around the
disOrdered room. Everywhere were
evidences Of careless extravacance.
Some expensive furs were thrown over
one chair, a heap Of lace frilled lin
gerie lay on another, and through the
open door Of the closet could be seen
half a dozen evening gowns hung in
crowded disorder.
