grumbled Della. 1.-The time to serve
things is when they're ready"
In a few moments Helen stole quiet
ly back into the room where Warren
lay. One hand was under his head, and
the other fell Imply over the side of
the couch. His hair was rumpled and
his face was slightly flushed with
sleep.
AWAKENING WARREN.
Very softly she moved over to the
couch and knelt down beside him 1t
was time to awaken him, but she
wanted him this way, for a few mo-
ments, all to herself. She always felt
very near him when he was asleep
There is a certain helplessness and
boyishness about a strong man when
he sleeps that always appeals to the
motherlove in the woman that loves
him.
And now very softly Helen touched
her lips to his shoulder-then to his
hair. To her his hair always seemed
to hold a fragrance all its own. Then
as he did not stir, very, very gently
she kissed his neck and then his fore
head.
How long would it be before she
would see him again like this? Des-
perately she tried to hold the mo-
ments, to fix in her mind every out
line of his face and form as he lay
there, SO she could the more wildly
have him with her in the long weeks
he would be away.
And his warm sleeping breath
against her cheek, and the feel of the
rough cloth of his coat and the silky
softness Of his tie-she knew how it
would all be with her, how she would
live it all over again and again.
Suddenly he opened his eyes, stared
at Helen, then yawned and stretched
hisarms.
"Um-m-m. How long have l been
asleep"
about twenty minutes, dear. Din
ner's waiting now.
"All right" drowsily closing his
| eyes.
"Oh, but Warren, you mustn't go to
sleep again." It's after seven and
you've got your suit case to pack after
dinner"
With another prolonged yawn he sat
up, stretching his arms and bringing

the receiver. and turning hurriedly TO
lock and strap the suit case
In a moment the driver came up
for the trunk and dragged il noisily
out TO the elevator. Warren was al
ready getting into his overcoat. Now
that the time had come-Helen could
only stand by looking helplessly on.
When he came over to kiss her, she
chung to him silently.
"Goodby, dear. Don't look so tragic
about II. The time will pass quickly
I'll only be gone few weeks Take
care of yourself-be a good girl.
GOodby.
He started toward the door. She was
standing motionless where he had left

Married Life
the Third Year
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.

Warren had promised to come home
early. His train left at 11:44 and Hell
en- had hoped he could spend part of
the afternoon as well as the evening
with her But it was after when he
came.
Couldn't get here any earlier" as
he shrugged out of the overcoat.
Things came piling in at the last mo-
ment-they always do. Got the trunk
packed"
Yes, dear, it's all ready.
Lets have a look at it. Here's the
papers | want put in" taking up a
package he had brought from the Of
fee.
Helen followed him into the bed
room and watched anxiously as he
took out the tray of the neatly packed
trunk.
whats this you've got here?"
"Oh, that's your chest protector. /
thought you might save some very
cold weather out there.
"All right But here, this isn't the
way to pack a coat" taking it out and
refolding it. "Where's that other grey
suit"
"Why, I didn't put that in, dear. 1
didn't know you'd want so many. VIII
you be gone long enough to need
Don't know how long I'll be gone,
How many times must | tell you that?
But I'm going to take that grey suit.
Bring it here and I'll put it in right
now.
WARREN PACKS UP.
From the depths of his closet Hell
brn oh o,,t In omit
He took it from the hanger, folded
it up and packed it tightly in the
trunk. Warren had strong, capable
hands. He could always pack a trunk
or tie up a package in more ship
shape fashion, and with more dispatch
and precision than any one else.
While Helen had packed the trunk
neatly, things were laid in flat" And
now he took most Of them out, rolled
them up tight and fitted them in.
"Now, how about thistray?" setting
it back in the trunk and glancing over
1t hurriedly "You haven't left room
enough for those papers-they've got
to go in here. Wait, these handker-
chiefs can go on top of the ties, and
that collar box on this side. There,
that fits in all right. Now hand me
those papers.
Helen gave MIN the package OIL pa
pers and he fitted them in where the
collar box had been.
"Now, that's better" slamming down
the lid. "Ill pack that suit case after
dinner. BY George, I'm tired" taking
off his coat and throwing himself on
the couch with a yawn. ITS been a
blamed hard day. Turn out the light
there, and I'll see if / can't get a nap
before dinner"
Helen turned out the light, threw a
steamer rug over him and quietly left
the room.
And this was his last evening with
her. In few hours he would be on
his way to California-and yet he was
spending a part of these precious few
hours in sleeping.
She went out to see about the din
tonight, of the dishes which Warren
particularly liked, and the table was
set with the best china and silver But
he would probably not notice the ia
BILE any more than he lad noticed the
little blue gown Helen was wearing,
the one he had once said he liked best
He had hardly looked at her when he
came in.
Its all ready, ma'am. Shall I serve
it now" asked Della.
mo, wait few moments, Della. Mr.
Curtis is so tired; he's laid down for
little nap, and know he won't want
to be awakened so soon.
Dinner won't be good if it stands

her. With his hand on the know he
paused. then turned, putting down his
suit case. With little cry she was in
his arms again.
There. there. Kitten. I'll be back
before you know it" And then half
reluctantly, yet moved to make some
concessions at parting. III write Of
ten, dear-eyery other day"
