moonlight night when he had tarried
too long in the village. He was the

can't work in the field. The reflec-

in the chicken house mirrors caught
his eyes. 1t followed him.
"Y' wull, wull YEP" he roared, and

chicken house, and there were lots of
complaints to Page on that score.
Page said there was no use trying
to elevate the architectural sense OF
the countryside. He was so discour-

lumber while he wasn't thinking The
mahogany chicken house made him a

Helen Determines to Brave Warren's Wrath and
Engage Rooms at Another Hotel

Fl grinning French maid with the
= coffee and rolls. The girl looked
uncertainty around for some place to
set the tray, for on the only table
Helen had unpacked her travelling bag.
Wait, you can put It here" and
Helen hurriedly cleared off the table.
The maid, who could not understand
or speak a word of English, put down
the tray, chartered something in French,
and hurried out
Breakfast conner" called Warren
from the bedroom.
THE trays come, but 1 shouldn't
call it breakfast" answered Helen,
viewing it with disgust Just see
how they serve things here"
1t was certainly not an attractive
tray. There were only coffee and rolls.
A roll and a blackened spoon and
knife was thrust in each Of the thick,
Clipped coffee cups. There was small
plate OF butter. a brown earthenware
coffee pot, pitcher of hot milk, a
saucer with a few Jumps Of sugar-and
nothing else There were no napkins,
and not even saucers for the cups.
well, they don't believe in unes-
sentials, that's certain" was Warren S
comment as he surveyed the tray.
Look at that silver!" exclaimed
Helen Indignantly, taking the black
ened spoon and knife from one of the
cups.
I'D hardly call It silver. But come
on-draw up a chair there. It's after
nine now and I ought to be out OF
here"
Helen spread a fresh towel on the
table to serve as a cloth, and arranged
on IL the meager contents Of the tray.
Here, dear, this is as good as paper
napkins" taking from her trunk some
crIlnpled tissue paper.

window and eagerly opened the letter
from her mother.

June "a. 1918
My Dear Helen-I am writing this
several days before you sail so that
it will be awaiting for you when you
reach Paris. Do hope your voyage
will be a smooth one, and that you
will not be seasick
l am sending you a clipping from
the Daily Trumpet" don't know
how they get the news out here,
but you see they do. Everyone here
thinks it's fine that you can travel
so much, To go to London last year
and to Paris this year-that's more
than anyone in Carterstown can do.

Church had made up fund to send
their pastor, Dr. Eldridge, abroad

style

hope Warren will be successful
in his business, as you write that
this is only a business trip.
With love to both MOTHER.
The clipping from her home town
paper, Helen read with an amused
smile:
Mr. and Mrs W. E. Curtis. Of

Curtis was formerly Miss Helen AL

A Daring Plan.
Carterstown. No,

Helen looked up quickly as two
American women sat down nearby.
You're staying at the Ritz, aren't
you?" asked the other one.
ooh, no. we discovered the most
wonderful little hotel this year. We've
two beautiful rooms for only twenty
francs a day! Everythings so clean
and the service is PERFECT. Perhaps
you know of it-Hotel Ronceray. 10
Rue Montague.
Helen hastily scrubbed the address
in the back Of her guide book. then
gathering up her mail. she went de
ltberately over TO the Information desk
and asked what bus would take her TO
the Rue Montaigns.
Two beautiful rooms for twenty
francs a day, and they were paying
sixteen at that dreadful place, Helen's
lips were suddenly set In a little grim
line Of determination. If this hotel was
as that woman had described #. she
would brave Warren's wrath and engage
the rooms She would even retain them
with a deposit-a deposit large enough
TO insure their taking them
1t was so rarely that Helen ever took
even the slightest initiative without con
sulting Warren, that when a few mo-
ments later she climbed on the bus that
was to take her to the Hotel Ronceray,
her heart beat fast at her own daring.
