to make the production lavish. George

What Brought
Her Home
By ETHEL HOLMES

John Cook had been married ten
years, during which time, except the
first few months after the wedding. he
had never been away from his wife for
more than a few days at time. But
after ten years living together there
came brief separation. They had not
been able TO go to the country during
the summers, for Johns income would
not admit of an outing. But all or
sudden his business sprang up. and
when August came around II was de-
cided that Mrs. Cook and the children
had better spend few weeks in some
rural district where there was pure air.
John could not leave his business,
which was increasing every day, so ne
packed them off without him.
Mrs. Cook had exacted a promise
from her husband that he would write
every day. The first day after her de-
parture he kept his promise. de wrote
the following brief letter:

Tommy and Nellie for their
AFFECTIONATE FATHER.
THAT" said Mrs. Cook, "looks as il
he were very busy and that the chil-
dren are the only ones who can draw
from him any expression Of affection.
The next day Mrs. Cook looked for
another letter from her husband, hop
ing that it would be signed your al
fectionate husband" instead OF tine
children's affectionate father. But 10
her surprise no letter came, nor did she
receive one the day following or the
next or the next 1t was not TILL
week after the arrival OF the frst let
fer that another came. This one was
as overlooking with affection as the
first was devoid of It. Its beginning
was as follows:

have seen your dear face or kissed your
sweet lips 1t seems three years-no, not

q a dozen times already / woke up IN
the middle OF the night and get up TO READ
1t again.
Mrs. Cook had read thus far when
she stopped and shuddered. What did
this remarkable burst of affection
mean? The newspapers had noted that
the thermometer in the city had nov
cred around 9S degrees and the humid
ity varied between 90 and 100 degrees.
There had been many cases OF sun
stroke. and several persons had been
made insane by the heat. Could 1t De
