Hunting a Husband
BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER.

OHE knew in what hospital Paul
Maynard was:
That was the idea that occu-
pied Beatrice Minors mind for the
next half hour, even making the mat
ter of Helen's displeasure sink into
lnsignificance. But. she reflected sud
denly, before she went any further
toward attempting to ascertain how
Paul Maynard was progressing. she
would make her peace with Helen.
Then he could think more collectedly.
To this end she wrote the following
note to her friend:
Dear Helen-Busy as | am this
morning, l must correct an impression
which my telephone conversation has
evidently produced on your mind,
namely, that l am not thinking of
YOUR dear brother day and night. You
can hardly expect me to discuss with
YOU a matter which is, after all, be-
tween him and myself, and a condi-
ton of affairs with which he is con-
tent at present. The future nobody
knows. | am sorry that you could
mfsjudge my motive in calling you up
this morning. | was lonely and want
ed chat with you. Forgive me for
trespassing upon the time of one 10
whom l owe more than l can ever re-
pay. Your regretful and devoted
friend, BEATRICE"
Not My Fault. "
THERE" she exclaimed. as she
sealed the letter and went out into the
hall TO drop it down the apartment
house mail chute. that is off my
mind. If Helen fails to understand
me and trust me it is not my fault"
She did not analyze her motives
deeply enough to know that she re-
scented the fact that Helen had per-
reived just what those motives were
Beatrice was not in the habit of look
ing her soul frankly and honestly n
the face.
When the children had gone out 10
-.ay. Beatrice, with hand that trem-
Died slightly. took the telephone re-
ceiver from its hook and called up the
number of the hospital in which Paul
-iaynard lay. In an unsteady voice
she inquired as TO How Mr.. Maynard
was feeling"

"Oh. see" said the nurse. Il
thought that perhaps you were Mrs.

A Good Customer.

How much would all those purple
ones COST" she asked pointing to
the flowing mass.
The salesman looked surprised, but,
after a moments cogitation, said,
Five dollars"
Il want them said the widow
quickly. Give me a piece of paper
on which | can write the address to
which | wish them sent"
Selling the pen and pasteboard tag
handed TO her she wrote Paul May
nard's name and that of the hospital
in which he was "a "shut-in" during
this perfect weather. Send them at
once, please" she said, as she paid
for her purchase.
And your card, madam" asked
the salesman with increased respect.
Women who bought five dollars
worth of flowers without a moments
consideration were the kind of Gus
toners he wanted.
Il am sending no card with them"
she said briefly, and left the shop.

An Old Varsity Friend.

''You are entertaining a house party

Priory for night or two and win in

your guests that that friend viii join

Thank you. Thank you" said the
Honorable Felix, wringing his hand.
I'm do exactly as you suggest Mr..
Cleek, and rooms shall be ready for you
when you arrive"
And the matter being thus arranged.
the Honorable Felix took his departure;
and Cleek, calling the landlady to fur
nish him with pen, ink and paper, sat
down then and there to write private
note to Lady Essington, telling her to
look out for Mr.. George Headland to
put in an appearance at the Priory in
three days time
IL was exactly half past / o'clock when
Lieutenant Arthur Deland, a big hand
some, fair-haired, fair mustached fell
low. with the stamp Of the Army all
over him, turned up at Boskydell Priory
with an understood Indian servant and
an diversified kit and was presented 10
his hostess and to the several members
Of the house party. by all Of which he
was voted a decided acquisition before
he had been an hour under the Priory' 5
roof
It is odd how ones fancies some
times go. He found the Honorable Mrs.
Carruthers a sweet, gentle. dovelike lii

in the least degree and he found Lady

Very good Of you indeed to place
such great reliance in me, Mr.. Carruth-
ers," he said 1--WE have TO scramble
for it, MIR. Narkom, and THE letter
was late in arriving-but. thank fortune
we managed to get here, as you see
And now. please. may have the details
Of the case?"
He spoke guardedly. lest it should be
upon some matter other than the inter-
ests of THE Golden Boy" and to pre-
vent the Hon. Felix from guessing that
he had already been approached upon
that subject by Lady Essington.
1t was not some other matter, how
ever. 1t was again the mystery of the
secret attacks upon his little lordship
he was asked to dispel; and the Hon
Felix. plunging forthwith into the de-
tails connected with II, gave him exactly
the same report as Lady Essington had
done.
Come to the rescue, Mr.. Cleek" he
finished. rather excitedly. Both my
wife and | feel that you and you alone
are the man TO get at the bottom Of
this diabolical thing; and the boy is as
dear to us as If he were our own.
Help me to get proof-unimpeachable
proof-of the hand which is engineering
these diabolical attacks, that We may
not only put an end TO them before they
go too far. but may avert the disgrace
which publicity must inevitably bring.
Publicity, Mr.. Carruthers? What
publicity are you in dread of, please"
That which could only bring shame

hint of what | believe to be the truth

may lead to a discovery Of the truth;

Tell me, please pleaded Beatrice,
about the - the - burns - will the
treatment leave Mr.. Maynard without
scars?"
She asked the question hurriedly,
frightened at her own temerity, and
still more afraid to hear the answer.
But the nurse was Immediately on
her guard
Pardon me, madam" she said for
mally, but l can give you no further
information. l am but the nurse, you
know. have no right to answer such
inquiries. That is the physicians
proVince-not mine"
Without another word Beatrice
hung up the receiver. Her cheeks
burned and her heart throbbed. What
cruel, unkind creatures nurses and
doctors were" she unused. Then, all
at once, she remembered DR.. Haynes.
Perhaps he could tell her something
of Paul. She turned quickly to the
telephone and asked for his number.
His voice answered promptly:
"Oh, good morning." he called
cheerily. You just caught me as l
was about to leave the house. Office
hours are over, and | have a call to
make Immediately. What can l do
for you?"
"Oh, never mind she returned
hastily. I'm call you up when you
are less busy" She could not ask
him her question when he was in his
present mood.
"All right" said the man. Il hope
you are all we'll, od-bye!"
In his preoccupation in his work
he seemed to forget his love for her,
thought Beatrice. She had a baftled
feeling as she went back to her own
room. At all events, she could do the
duty of the hour, which was TO attend
to her morning marketing. She would
try TO forget Paul Maynard.
1t was a perfect day. and she began
to feel herself respond to the glory
of the September sunshine and the
fresh air How good to be out-of-
doors and well on such a day! Then,
with a revulsion of feeling, she re-
membered the hospitals and the sick
in them, and the sufferers in one hos
pital in particular AS the swift
tears sprang to her eyes she turned
and gazed in a florists window that
the passers-by might not note her
emotion.
Suddenly she became aware that
she was facing a glory of purple as
ters Their hues ran from royal pur-
pie to palest mauve. An impulse
moved her TO go into the shop and
ask the price of the blossoms. The
salesman told her how much they
were by the dozen.

CIDER EXPERT FIN
ISHES HIS WORK

II. C. Gore, of the Bureau of Chem
istry of the United States Department
of Agriculture, who has been here for
the past three weeks making tests. of
new process to reduce apple cider by
freezing, finished his work this week.
MIR. Gore has had a large number of
pieces of machinery shipped here and
the experiments have been conducted
on a commercial scale.
The cider is first frozen iuto blocks,
which are then crushed and placed in a
centrifugal basket with perforated
sides. These baskets are whirled at
the speed of about 1900 revolutions a
minute. The syrup is thrown off, while
the water is left in frozen state in
the basket. "The process IS not new
one," says Mr.. Gore. at has been
used for a number of years. We find
patents covering similar methods for
reducing milk as early as "a years ago.
AS to whether or not the basket shall
make successful advent into the com.
mercial world, just depends on whether
the producers of cider decide to take
it up. The fruit juice reduced in this
manner retains all ofthe natural fla
vOr, while that reduced by other meth.
ods has cooked taste.
