far improved that he dismissed her
nurse. 1t was late on the afternoon Of
that same day when Helen Robbins,
entering her guest room, found Beat

window.

A Land Shark.

Jim mods which is his way Of talk

Well says I, what are we going
to do with him?'
Jim thinks a while and then I sug-

Jim mods and that ends the debate.
Hardly had we said them words

THE feller said the gal had thrown

""The gal throwed you over? says.

she changed her mind says the feller,
Now | don't care to live any longer?'" !"
| "And did the captains daughter de-

did she marry him and live happy ever
after?" asked the bos'ns little audi

"What did you do that for? What

how he come to be in there. Soon as
we found out we put him back" said
the bos'n cheerfully.

Dear Miss Fairfax
l am young man Of %, and
am in love with young lady seven
years my senior. We love each
other very much. She is wealthy

Do you approve of such n plan?

But you would want to know who
the man was who saved your children, "
Beatrice reminded her. You would
want to know to whom you owed the
biggest debt that any woman can owe,
wouldn't you?"
1t Was Paul Maynard. e"
But the doctor said that you were
not to be told about it at ALL" objected
Helene. Secretly she was longing to
witness the sensation which she felt
the knowledge Of the truth would
cause, but she feared that he revea-
ton would come as a shock to her
friend.

dear, tell me who the man was! You
promised to answer my question. Think
of how you would feel if he had saved
your children. Nothing on earth would
be too much to do for him. And will
worry about It more if you don't tell me

The widow hesitated a moment.

Warren 8 Sound Sleep,

But he did not come, and she lay
there nursing both her grievance and
her unhappiness. At length her
thoughts grew confused and she dozed
"a troubled, unrestful self conscious
ness.
In the last hour it had grown much
colder, a sudden change of temperature
that often comes toward morning. The
curtains which had hung so Imply
were now billowed out by a sharp
north wind And Helen in her halt
doze lay there shivering under the one
thin counterpane.
AT length a sound Of spluttering
steam aroused her. 1t was morning.
Maggie was turning on the dining
room radiator. Fearing she would sur
mise some quarrel if she saw her there.
Helen rose hastily, gathered up the
pillow and counterpane and hurried
back into the bedroom.
Warren was asleep. 1t was only 6
and they never got up before Z.
Helen aching all over and nearly sick
from the almost sleepless night on the
hard couch longed to creep into bed
and rest.
But that would be a weakening;
when Warren awoke he would think
she had come back during the night.
AS she stood there shivering unde-
cided Warren suddenly yaWned and
opened his eyes.
Hello, you up? What time is it?'
He drew his watch from under the
pillow and squinted at it sleepily,
"Why it's only 6. What's the matter?
What're you getting up now for?"
I'm not getting up, dear" as Helen
crept into bed. Il was just going to
see what time it was"
"My, you're cold. Why on earth
don't you wear some sensible flannel
night gowns instead of those thin
things. nothing but a bit of lace for
sleeves Never saw a woman yet that
dressed with any sense
Then he turned over heavily. Now
don't be jumping up again. want to
sleep"
So he did not even know that she
had spent all those hours on the front
room couch He had slept through
the night and had not even missed
her!

YOU ARE VERY FOOLISH.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am sixteen and deeply in love
with a man Of twenty. He called
on me continually until he became
angry at my father. Now he goes
with one of my former chums, who
lives across the street. He takes
her to dances and shows and par
ties. He never took me to any
place Of amusement at all / call
him on the telephone every day,
but he pays no attention to me.
T.. \ Il.
From what You tell me Of the young
man. it is my opinion he is not worth
winning back. But if he were your
pursuit of him would drive him the
other way. Never telephone him again
and don't sigh and pine for him Forget
him! Now, don't say that is impossi-
BILE 1t will be an easy thing to do.

I ing seem to grow heavier, as though
| he was feigning sleep?
She waited a few moments. then
crept out of bed, felt for her slippers,
took her pillow and the counterpane
which covered the bed in the daytime
and went into the front room.
1t was narrow antique sofa. attrac-
tive as a piece of furniture. but most
| uncomfortable to lie on But if she
could not sleep here, at least she could
breathe. She had opened all the front
windows and those in the library ad-
joining, but still the heavy. damp air
did not stir the curtains. Yet Warren
had expected her to sleep in that stuffy
room on night like this!
No Capitulation.
| But surely he would not let her lie
out here all night on this hard, mar
row couch! He would soon realize how
unreasonable he had been and would
want the window open, for even he
could not sleep in there long without
air
| From outside came the mingled night
sounds of the city, the occasional rum
/
squawk of an automobile, or the drag
| ging hoofs of weary cab horse.
! But Helen was straining for the
sound of the opening door and for
| Warren's slppered step coming after
| her Already her back ached with the
hardness of the narrow sofa, her, head
ached and her throat ached, too, with
forced back sobs. Oh, why did Warren
| let her lie out here?
Then came the thought that perhaps
! he had already opened the window, and
was waiting for her to come back and
| find it open. Softly she stole to the
bed room door and softly turned the
| knob But the window was still closed.
| The room was suffocating. and Warren
under the many covers was snoring
| heavily.
He would be really sick if he slept
in that room all night. For the mo-
ment Helen forgot herself and thought
| only of Warren. The helplessness of
a man asleep always arouses the moth
erinstinct Of the woman who loves
him. And now when Helen quietly
opened the window few inches, her
only thought was Of him.
| Again she went back to the front
room couch. For now, although the
bedroom window was open, this time it
was only for his sake, and with a curl
GUS feminine illogiCalness she would
not let it benefit her.
There are times when all women lose
their sense of proportion, and this was
one of the times when Helen lost hers.
| Perhaps it was partly because she had
| been tired and unstrung all day, and
| this incident of the closed windows
! had only helped to unnerve her, for
now with an unreasonable perverse-
ness she determined to stay there until

Mrs. F. w. Matthiessen.

The LaSalle Daily Tribune of Jan,
21. announced the death of Mrs, f. W
Matthiesen a former resident of Miner
al Point. From The Tribunes report Of
her death we take the following:
The friends of Mrs f. w. Matthies
sen were Sererely shocked this morn
ing by the news brought by telegraph
from California to the effect that she
had passed away at $3.50 Il. m. AL
though it had been generally known
that Mrs. MatthieSsen was in poor
physical condition. no one, except
possibly her closest relatives, had any
idea that the end was 50 near at hand.
Mrs MatthieSsen was the wife OF
Frederick w. MatthieSSen, zinc manu-
facturer and former mayor of La Sale
and man widely known in this
vicinity for his many public benefac-
tions.
Mrs MatthiesSen's maiden name was
Fannie &. Moeller. She was born in
Germany August ~, lS46. Thus she
was in the sixty seventh year of her
age She was a daughter of the late
Frederick Moeller. The family came
to America in 1858, Mrs. Matthiessen
DtluS IISh bub SSNcu NSalc VI oSS'
There were in the party, the parents,
two brothers and one sister, besides
Fannie They settled at Mineral Point
Wis, where Mr.. Moeller was Il mer-
chant for number of years. Mrs.
Matthiessen attended school there and
it was also in Mineral Point that she
met her future husband. Mr.. Matthies
sen was engaged in buying ore for the
new zinc works at La Sale at that
time. They Were married May 30
1864, and thereafter resided contin-
uously in La Sale There were three
daughters and two sons born to them,
three of whom are living, Mrs.
Matthiessen's only sister, Mrs. Ida
Gilman, mother of Mrs. Ernst Roth of
Peru, departed this life i'll April, 1909.
Her brother, Fred Moeller, died in 1891.
Two of her brothers still survive-Alex.
Moeller of Spring Valley, former re-
sident of La Sale. and Edward Moeller
of Montana.
She loved her home, her husband and
her children and never was very active
outside the sphere of the homeloving
wife and mother Her name will al
ways be linked with one of La Salle's
public buildings, however, for it was
she who gave to this congre ssional
township the manual training school
building, connected with the La Sale
Peru Township High school.
