how can you be so heartless?
Think I've been pretty darned

I'll not be kept awake for all the

Helen's mind was still torn with
pictures of Pussy Purr- New, terrified.

rem went promptly and unfeelingly to
sleep. but she lay awake, planning
the mornings search and wording an
advertisement for the papers, until
her thoughts grew confused.
1t was dawn when she awoke, con-
scious of vague sense of trouble.
What was it? Then like a flash it
came--Pussy Purr- New!
In an instant she was up. 1t was
almost light now; she would make
another search of the basement before
the house was astir. Being careful
not to awaken Warren, she went
softly into her room. But hardly had
she started to dress when he called
out peremptorily.
What are you up to now?'
"Oh, dear, l didn't mean to awaken
you! I just want to look through the
basement again before the delivery
men come"
You come right back here to bed!
You've got cold already, and I'm not
going to stand for any doctors bills"
and muttering something about want

Warren himself got up.

Left alone, Helen felt suddenly
rather foolish. her tears ceased, her

scuttled away.
The combined unresponsiveness of
both the cat and Warren had a de-

on Helen's emotionalism.

Warren's DerisiOn and Helen's Emo
tionalism
1t had stopped showing and was
growing bitterly cold. The two
lighted globes before their apart
ment shone out cheerfully just ahead.
Helen released Warren's arm and
ran up the steps. Her thin evening
gown and wrap were inadequate for
so wintry a night. The hallboy
opened the door and Helen's drawn
up shoulders relaxed under the CRATE
full warmth within.
"No wonder you're cold" grum-
bled Warren, as they went up in the
elevator with that tlimsy little
wrap"
"Oh, it's nice and warm here"
when they entered their own apart
ment
More steam had been put on and
the diningroom radiator was thump-
ing resentfully. AS Helen went out
to open the valve she noticed the
lighted transom of Nora's room.
Nora was always in bed and her
light out by 10. and now Helen turned
in astonishment when the door opened
and she came out fully dressed.
"Why, Nora, what's the matter ~
''Its the kitty, ma'am, / can't find
her anywhere. 1 amt seen her since
you've been gone"
Then Helen realized that Pussy
Purr- New, who always came stretch
ing and yawning to meet them, had
not appeared tonight.
"She must be shut up in some of
the closets"
81 looked in all the closets
looked everywhere, ma'am."
"Well, she's here somewhere, of
course"
Helen then began hurried search,
but Pussy Purr-Mew was not in any
of her favorite hiding places.
what on earth are you doing?'
demanded Warren, when Helen came
into the library and poked behind
the gas logs With his cane.

DIED OF BROKEN HEART Al ITO.

'Keep a light heart and work
hard" is the motto of Miss Rebecca
Clark of Woodgreen, England, who
celebrated her one hundred and
eleventh birthday the other day.
Evidently this motto was not fully
practised by Mrs. Martha Lassaso Of
Paterson, N. j., who died during the
week at the age of one hundred and
ten. And no wonder. She had mar
ried five times, and apparently while
working hard enough for her five
husbands must have had a ''heavy"
instead Of light heart, as she saw
four of them stricken by her side.
Physicians attribute her death to the
fact that she remained inconsolable
over the death of her fourth husband.
Dying of a broken heart at the age
Of one hundred and ten is sufficient
ly unusual to be noted!

"HUMOR" FAILS TO APPEAL
Enslishman Who Applied to the Char
liable 70 Furnish Him With
Yacht 10 Indignant

The ''agony column" Of the Lon
don Times is still good reading, re-
marks the Boston Herald. Not long
ago ''Harassed City Worker" began
with an appeal for holiday and
then went on to ask for yacht. The
Times published the following reply:
"Harassed City Workers modest
requirements cannot surely be salts
fled with merely the loan of a fur
nished house at seaside and yacht.
Why not an aeroplane? Advertisers
anxious to confer benefit on society
at large would be delighted to con-
tribute a particularly defective fly
ing machine of archaic design which,
if adequately mismanaged, would,
they doubt not, amply repay them
for their generosity. Reply Box @
26O, The Times"
Was the "Harassed City Worker"
abashed by this? Not bit of it.
Here is his answer: "Harassed City
Worker" hereby gives notice that
since the publication of his appeals
in this column his identity has be-
come known to many so-called phil
anthropists. In the event of his re-
ceiving any more insulting attempts
at humor, either by letter or through
advertisement, he will be compelled
70 take such steps as will vindicate
his character and secure him dam
ages"

Professor Wiseman, get you out OF
doors. Let be your books and lock
the laboratory behind you for little
while. Empty your brain of facts
so that there may be room for few
new ones. Forget for an hour even
the best and most firmly established
of your theories so that you may not
be tempted to interpret falsely what
YOU see. Listen to the flicker laugh
ing heartily in tie distance. Watch
the slim gray mocking-birds as they
play hide-and-seek about the grove.
Keep an eve on the amber-colored
butterflies fitting carelessly from
flower to flower. All, but there
comes a kingbird and he crushes one
of the butterflies in his bill. And
you, Professor Wiseman, will now
nod your head sagely and recognize
an illustration Of the deadly struggle
for life. You will use the incident
next day in your class as practical
demonstration of the bloody war of
nature. See to it, then, that you do
not lead those young men astray. Be
careful that you do not give them
a false idea of what you saw when
you left your books and your dis.
secting table for an hour and, con-
trary to your custom, went out into
the living world. When you tell
them tell them also about the hum
dred others that went on slipping
honey in all delight of life, and about
the flicker laughing in the distance
and the happy mocking-birds fitting
about the grove.-Atlantic Monthly.

81 am thankful to say there
has come also another and a
greater factor far than any mere
mechanical thing. This is the
growing appreciation of the value
Of men and women IN industry.
This is the wisdom which teaches
us that the human side of our
factories is more valuable than
the mechanical or the material
side. This new light shows to us
clearly that in the responsive
ness Of human beings to leader

duction at low cost, with comfort

competing power abroad, as well
as in great advances at home.
