OUT UNDER THE STARS
After He Had Told Helen Whole
Truth.
RY 8. q. kIsER.

For three hours Helen slbley had
been waiting at Northport Junction.
Luckily the evening was pleasant, so
that she was not compelled 20 sit in
the stuify dingy little station. There
wan iu. one pretty thing about North
port Junction, and that was Helen, II
the train for which she was waiting
ever came and ever departed again,
NorthpOrt Junction would resume its
habit OF being about as unlovely a
spot as one might find within the tenn
perato zone.
While Helen remRiL.d the place
would possess one attraction that
would have lent distinction 20 a far
more important and a far more splen-
did center OF activity than the June
ton was ever likely 70 become.
The operator In the bay window that
jutted out into the point OF land be-
tween the branching tracks evidently
had an eye for beauty as well as an
ear for Morse. AS Helen walked up
and down the platform he watched her
and became thoughtful. He wonder
ed why II was that nature bestowed
her gifts so lavishly upon some girls
and treated others 80 shabbily. The
beauty that Helen possessed might
have made q dozen plain girls fair If
ii had been distributed among them.
Such was the operators reasoning.
The operator at Northport Junction
was a philosopher
But Helen was not thinking OF phil
osophy, and II she had noticed that the
operator was eagerly watching her the
fact neither added TO her pleasure
nor caused her annoyance. For some
reason she was thinking Of Tom Har-
low. Perhaps II was because Of the
loneliness Of her surroundings. It
was nearly a year since she had re-
fused TO listen when Tom had said that
no could explain everything in good
time" and for months she had thought
that she was never going to have any
interest in him again.
Thinking of Tom naturally caused
her to think of Mrs Danforth, the pret-
ty, young grass-widow who had come
between them. There was something
mysterious about Mrs. Danforth. Peo-

pie talked about her. but nobody seem
ed to know just why. She had come
to Springfield a stranger and she had
been careful to leave her past behind
her. 1t had not taken her long to find
riends, and she was quickly~admitted to
the best social circles. With plenty
of money, she lived at the most fash
tonable hotel she entertained lavish
ly, and her clothes were the talk of
the town. Then, one day, she disap-
peared, and on the following morning
Tom Harlow told Helen that it had
become necessary for him to go to Chi
cago.
A week later he returned, but a sub
stantial citizen of Springfield had re-
turned before him. The substantial
citizen had seen Tom and Mrs. Dan
forth together in Chicago. OF course
Tom had assured Helen that 1t was
all right, but he had not explained.
He had merely promised to do so "in
good time" And Helen had naturally
decided that the good time" could
never come. So Tom went away.
She thought over all this as she i'm
patiently waited at Northport juno
ton. A dozen times she tried to fix
her thoughts on other things, but al
ways they turned back to the old sub
1ect. She became angry with herself,
at last. and more for the purpose OF
trying to forget Tom Harlow than
with the hope of obtaining information
she went into the station and asked
the operator If it was likely that the
train for Medford would arrive on
time.
She's just reported fifty minutes
iate,' the operator informed her
There's a washout up the road"
Helen turned away with a feeling of
hopelessness and went outside again.
If Northport had looked dismal to her |
before, it now seemed deEola.e. While |
she was trying to count the appalling
number of minutes that she would |
have to wait. she heard the whistle of |
an engine away up the curve around
the hill on the main line.
When the long train stopped at the
Junction Helen saw a man step down
from on of the Pullman cars away at
the rear She paid no attention to
him, suDposing he was a passenger
who had merely stepped off to get a
breath of fresh air. but after the train
had gone on she noticed that the man Il
was walking slowly down the cinder j
path beside the track toward the sta
ton. For moment she gazed at
him, and then hurried inside. 1t was
Tom Harlow carrying a suitcase.
Selecting the darkest corner in the
station, Helen sat down, turned her
back toward the door, and waited, hop {
hg that no one would come in and
fearing something ttat she could not
have explained Her corner was so {
dark, and she remained so silent that
rom entered without noticing her. IL

Although the house here shown is

IL is an excellent type Of residence
for a city IN which the lots average
90 feet. size that will admit of
room for lawn and plenty of space
for light and air. A house thus set
out amid pleasant surroundings will
have all the good points OF its de-
sign fully appreciated and displayed
TO the best advantage.
The tendency in tho city is toward
crowding, on account OF the increas-
ing value Of land. of course. This is
to be regretted because when lots
are too narrow houses cannot be
shown to good advantage, no matter
what the excellence and artistic quail.
tiles Of their design may be.
Fifty foot lots are large enough TO
meet most builders requirements,
but u many cities, as in Chicago. for
instance, the rule is 80 feet. This
disadvantage is often made greater by
the owners insistence on a very large |
house, or by an arrangement OF the |
rooms that requires that the building |
be wide.
Too often the residence is suited to |
the builders demands rather than to |
the lot and its surroundings. Houses
of this sort usually have several dark
rooms and often are not we'll venti-
lated. In a great many cases they
are not much better than apartments.
OF course, this difficulty, might be
avoided by making one fairly large
lot OF two small ones, but frequently
the builder does not feel that he can
afford a second lot, and he often fur
ther objects to the keeping Of large
lawn. But to the normal man the
lawn is the chief Joy Of the home.
The alternative is usually to adapt
the house to the lot, to sacrifice some
desired feature Of the interior a.
rangements, or even a room or two,
in order to attain the really essen
tial light and air.

1903 HOURS A WEEKS LABOR
State Officials Find Women Over

Buffalo Aug. 16.-The State Fac

which Senator Robert F. Wagner of
New York is Chairman completed a
tour of inspection of fifty manufac-

The commission found many viola
tons of the labor laws.
In certain canneries it was learned
that women employees in the busy
canning season had been worked 109
hours a week Some manufacturers
frankly admitted doctoring their
time books to deceive the State la
Dor officials. In certain industries
women testified that they worked all
night while their husbands looked af-
ter their children.
Miss Mary r. Dreir of Brooklyn, a
member of the commission, was
shocked and insisted the conditions
generally affecting the employment
of women and children in manufac-
turing plants in this state should be
remedied
