Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-09-14

With a roar the train pulled into the
Grand Central. and Warren seized the
suitcase and Helen's long coat ana
made for the end of the car. Helen
followed him, searching in her hano
bag for the tin powder case that she
always carried with her.
The trip had been very warm from
Providence and she had meant TO go
into the dressing room to tidy her nalr
and nut on some powder before they
arrived in New York. but Warren nao
interested her in q magazine arucIe
Just as she had planned to go and theh
It had been too late.
Come on" said Warren, turniHs
around as they reached the door. so
that's what you are up to? Didn't you
have time enough to do that before
] we arrived in the station? Ihat
always the way with you, ana then
you wonder why you are never Oh
time for an appointment.
Helen, having eXtricated tne ooA
from the litter of things that nlled tne
hand bag. powdered her nose lberally
and followed Warren out of the tram
and along the platform without reply
ing to his remark on her punctuality.
Porter sir, porter" And an ebony
faced official in the livery OF the sta
tion appeared and took the Things
from Warren's arm.
II think the best thing to do is to
have something to eat right mere IN
the station" said Warren, turning 10
Helen as he relinquished the nag ana
coat.
But 1 wrote to Nora that we were
coming in on this train and she Will
probably have things all ready for US
Did you tell her to have supper
ready?" ,,,,o
at o'clock and to have things ready
for us. She'll have the house opened
and something ready. I'm sure, ana
you know how disappointed she I'll be
If we don't eat anything.
Warren growled out ssomething un.
Ineligible. Evidently the restaurant
appealed TO him and he was very
hungry, thought Helen, as she looked
at him sideways. He had wanted her
to go into the diner. but she had re-
fused. The idea of a course dinner
did not appeal to her at all and she
thing ready for them. Perhaps War
rem would rather not wait. though;
she hated TO be selfish about things.
Lets have something to eat here
if you'd rather. dear. 1t doesn't make
any difference to me-.
Changed your mind, eh? Well, l
guess we'll go right on home. You
might as we'll have your own way
about it; you always do
The porter was making his way
toward the ConcourSe without so muCn
as turning around.
Hey. porter, we want to go TO the
subway" called Warren.
Helen felt rather guilty about
things. Warren always made her feel
thM4SSay about II whenever he gave
nv what he called her own way. She
wondered sometimes II she could he
as selfish as he represented her. And
then as Warren bought the tickets and
took the things from the porter she
hastened after him into the waiting
express.
we might have telephoned up to
Nora to see if she has things ready"
remarked Warren as the train swept
out of the station.
Why. yes. that would have been
just the thing to do. Why didn't we
think of II before?"
Well. it's too late now. anyway;
let's hope she has a nice little supper
ready for us. Anyway 1t won't take
her long to fix us something"
Helen had a vague feeling that
things were not going to be as smooth
as she had expected, and as they left
the subway and proceeded toward
their apartment the first thing that
met her eyes was a row of unlighted
windows. She looked furtively at War
ren. but he had not glanced at the
house. Why hadn't Nora lighted the
lights in the living room? She had
said in her letter to have everything
ready for them. Perhaps, though, the
train was early and Nora, busy in the
kitchen, had not realized how late it
was
Nora hasn't lighted up yet" she
rem arked as Warren at last raised his
eyes to the apartment.
She Let Nora Know in Plenty of Time
- wonder what that's for. I'd
laugh If she hadn't come home yet.
Then we'd be in a fine fix. wouldn't
we?"
But. Warren. she must be home.
Why I sent my letter in plenty of
time: she must have received it."
Did you post it yourself?"
Let me think. Yes, l think I did:
