Their Married
Life.
THE THIRD YEAR.

"Oh. dear. think it's raining"
Helen was sitting on the edge OF the
bed, feeling for her slippers with her
bare feet.
Warren yawned. turned over and
drew the covers closer.
"Oh. it is raining" as she raised the
shade.
Warren yawned again
Dear it's raining hard"

the rain will you draw down that
But it's almost time to get up. on.
do you think we can move in the
rain"
why not?" irritably. They're COW
cred vans"
But. Warren, it's pouring, Why,
everything'll be drenched while they're
getting them in the vans"
We'll. they're going 20 move US to-
dav. rain or no rain. We're mighty
lucky TO get moved at all at this sea
son. Pull down that blind, 1 tell
YOU"
Warren slept for another half hour.
But she did not go back to bed. There
were still many things TO be put in"
and numerous bundles and boxes TO
be tied up.
She was tying the curtain rods to-
gether when Warren appeared in his
bathrobe.
see here, YOU didn't pack my shaw
ing brush. did yOu2"
'Why no. dear we packed the things
ir the bathroom. but I'm sure / left
out all your shaving things" as she
hurried i'm 20 look
There was no shaving brush. 1t
must have been packed by mistake.
wait, dear il won't take me a mo-
ment to get it, The bathroom Things
are all in one box. / don't think it's
nailed up yet"
But it was nailed up. Fearing War
ren's displeasure. Helen ran for the
hammer and was trying nervously to
open it when he came out.
Here. give me that
Warren took the hammer but this
was one of the boxes Della had nailed
and she had nailed il up TO stay.
Cant open this with "A tack ham,
mer." he growled Get me a Chisel"
I'VE haven't any ch.sel. dear
bringing him "A strong carving knife.
Won't this do2"
He managed TO get the box opened,
hut everything had TO be pulled out
before he found the shaving brush.
Warren hurried in TO shave and Helen
was left to repack the box.
They had kept out just enough
things for Della TO get breakfast But
now when she put il on the table.
Helen was too hurried TO eat. She
poured out Warren's coffee, and then
rushed off to tie up the bed clothes
and pack away the few things still
left in the bathroom.
Dear" coming back TO the dining
room where Warren was leisurely eat
ing his eggs with the morning paper
prOpped uD before him. don't you
think I'd better get out something to
cover that library table? Now that
we've just had il done over, I'd hate
10 have il spoiled by the rain"
al told YOU they'd have enough old
quilts to cover everything. Now, for
heavens sake. stop fussing about the
rain. Those men are used to moving
in the rain. They'll know how to
handle the stuff"
But just then the vans came up and
the rain accOmmOdatingly held up.
The men began taking things out and
Helen futtered around anxious and
nervous.
"Oh. do be careful of that" she
warned. That's full of cut glass" as
the men started TO roll out one of the
barrels.
mo. Della. that isn't ours" as she
saw Della putting the shower sheet
into one of the boxes. Take that
hack into the bathroom; that belongs
TO the house"
''Wen, there's no sense in my hang
ing around here" interrupted Warren.
"Tll go over and see If everything
all right at the other apartment. III
get that janitor To put down some
paper on those floors, or they'll be
ruined dragging this stuff in"
Then you're coming back here -
