Married Life
the Second Year
BY MABEL HERBERT uRNER.

cY
Helen took off her coat and put it
with her hand bag and bundles on
chair beside her. Then she drew out
her gloves, united her veil and leaned
back with a sigh of relief. She was
tired, very tired.
1t was the last day of her Christmas
shopping She had started out at 10
this morning. Now it was about and
she had come up to the restaurant on
the top floor of a big department
store for a light luncheon and a few
moments rest.
The place was crowded. Everybody
looked tired and everybody had bun
dies. The Mattresses were rushing
back and forth with orders of chicken
patties, lobster salad, chocolate eclairs
and all the other things that women
have when they lunch alone.
Helen ordered tea and chicken
broth as something quickly served and
eaten. The waitress put it down before
her. scrubbed off a check for thirty
cents and hurried on.
Helen slipped at the broth slowly.
It was interesting to watch the
wonderland they were all women. In
the whole of that huge lunch room
there were hardly half dozen men.
And what tired, worried unattractive
looking women.
InstinctivcIy she drew out her pOck-
ct mirror, smOOthed her hair and rub
bed a leaf from a powder book over
her face. There was nothing that
made her more uncomfortable than
feeling Of untidiness and a conscious
ness Of shiny nose.
She was not rested. she would have
liked to have fingered longer over the
tea, but there were still many small
things to be bought and it took SO long
now to be waited on. Slowly she drew
on her gloves and gathered up her
packages.
When she opened her purse to pay
the check she suddenly discovered that
instead of having a ten dollar bill and
some change she had only the
change,
THE LOST MONEY!
With sick sinking at her heart
she searched restlessly through her
purse. handbag, muff and under the
table. Again she searched through her
purse, handbag, muff and under the
table, but still no bill! Woman-like
she was futively repeating this pro-
cess for the third time when the wait
reSS came up.
Lost anything, maam?"

Did you have it here, MIA ann"

dCllars-a ten-dOllar and five ones
and I've only spent the five" And
again Helen began her nervous search
through her purse, hand bag, etc. 1t is
a curious fact, that when woman
loses anything she will search over
and over again III the same place and
in the same way
Now the head waitress came up
with perfunctOry sympathy and a per
functory moving back of chairs and
looking under the table.
With a last lingering look about
Helen went down to make inquiries at
the lost and found department. And
yet she felt the hopelessness Of finding
it there.

not the actual loss that counted so
much, but all that was thrown in af-
ter" in worry. And Helen realized that
this was what she was doing now and
would do-and that she would not help
it.
Then suddenly she found that she
had gone four blocks beyond her
the car and hurried back almost ready
to cry with vexation. And then she
waited to cross the street a taxicab
passed by so deliberately close to her
that it almost brushed her dress. AS

LOSSES BY FIRES
LOWEST IN YEARS
About $4,000 Acres of National
Forests Burned Over
100000 in 1912.

WASHINGTON. Sept. o3.--With the middle
of September the fire season on the ma
tional forests has come practically to an
ed. There is always some danger from
carcessncss of campers or of settlers
burning brush and clearing land, but the
real danger season extends only from
the middle of June until the middle of
September
Forest officers throughout the West are
congratulating themselves on a season
so markedly free from heavy losses.
They feel that the immunity from loss
has been due to two principal causes.
partly to a favorable season, but largely
to a much better organization for hre
prevention than has been attained hereto
fore, The effectiveness Of the organize
ton is shown particularly by the fact
that while there We're in all approxi-
mately 9,2O fires. as against 2.4I0 last
year, yet the area burned 50 far this
year is only about coco acres as AGAINST
23O0,0 acres in 1912 and 7s0,O60 IN 1911
\ single administrative district. which
covers the intermountan region Of south
ern Idaho, western Wyoming, Ttah,
example of the most favorable situation.
Only 43 fires were encountered. % Of
which originated in Idaho. The total
area burned over amounted to only 956
acres, which is considerably less than
four one hundred thousandths of the to-
tai area patrolled by forest officers in
these States
California, Arizona and New Mexico
have suffered most during the past sea-
son.
The various causes of fires have not
changed greatly in their relative proper
tions Railroads and lightning head the
list with campers next. There has been.
however, n marked decrease in the num-
her Of fires caused by burning brush,
which according to the forest officers,
indicates a closer cooperation with the
settlers in and near the forests and with
timberland owners In fire prevention and
control II Is still true, nevertheless,
that a large proportion of all fires start
ed are due to human agencies and may
generally be charged against careless
ness. Fires caused by lightning are OF
course not preventable, but the system of
lookouts by which they may be detected
