IT wish you would let me send for
the doctor, Warren. Please let M
telephone for him, won't you?"
mo. 1 don't want a doctor nosing
Aaround. 1t isn't likely he could do
Ime any good, anyway"
But you're not eating any dinner,
dear, and did try to have everything
you like tonight. I'm afraid you re
going to be sick"
Warren broke a pieoe of bread saw
agely, and did not deign to answer.
He had been complaining for couple
of days of toothache which, he d1o
not seem able to locate. Helen had
suggested neuralgia. She was subject
to attacks of neuralgia hersoiE, but
Warren had scoffed at the idea and
had even refused to see dentist, and
now the pain was almost unbearable
Helen observed him with anxious
eyes, although she went on with her
dinner without making any more re-
marks. Warren went on eating with
grim fortitude until at last less
cautious bite of piece of celery made
him vince with unexpected pain and
he pushed his plate away and looked
across at Helen.
Cant you do anything but look at
me with that dying calf expression?
he remarked unreasonably, and then
there's no need of trying"
II wish there was something | could
do" Helen said, resolved to be pleas
ant no matter how hard a task that
might be. Shall l get the hot water
bottle? That always helps me, and |
bought new one Just the other day.
Warren Ungraciously Refuses
Comfort
No, what's the use? Didn't have
one all last night and 1t didn't do me
a bit of good"
Then I certainly think you should
see a doctor" said Helen firmly: "let
me call up the nice one downstairs,
the one who fixed Nora's arm"
Nice one,' sneered Warren. Il
suppose you think he's nice because
he happens to he young and good
looking. Like to have him come up
whether it's necessary or not, eh?"
Helen felt like laughing in spite of
the tone of voice Warren used.
mo, dear, we won't have him If
you don't like him"
IT didn't say l didn't like him." ir-
ritably. How do | know whether I'd
like him or not; I've never seen him.

Nora, bring the dessert in; Mr.,
Curtis is finished" as Nora appeared
in answer to Helen's ring.
Dessert! l don't want any des-
sert," growled Warren, his hand up
to his face.
But. dear. it's peach shortcake.
Don't you think you could eat little,
it's so good?"
Nora brought the cake to Helen to
cut, and Warren eyed the toothsome
layers disapprovinEly. The cake
looked appetizing enough for any one
with the daintiest appetite imaginable,
with it's peach and whipped cream
filling.
Il made the filling myself" said
Helen, as she cut him a generous
slice. You'll eat a small piece. won't
you?"
do you call that a small piece?"
said Warren, as Nora placed the plate
before him. Bring me some hot cof-
fee. Nora, a large cup. ! think the
heat might do me good"
A"I think I'll go down to the dem
US house." said Warren, finally, as
they rose from the table. There's no
need of my staying awake all night
again and he might be able to do
som mething for me-"
IAN right, and If ne says there is
nothing the matter with your teeth
you'll have a doctor, won't you?"
Warren did not answer and Helen
heard him bang the door after him
as he went out. And then she went
