HER STIDE-=-ANID his
ny ZOE BECKEEY

Even while the white and green Of
Bermuda was still smiling in the sun
light in view of the Temples the
steamer which was bearing them
home began to roll uneasily.
Dear little holiday" Cora whis-
pered as she looked astern, "how
quickly you have passed.
1t may have been the rising restless
ness of the ocean which sent through
her the premonition of imminent
storm in her life. David had gone
down to the cabin for a camera. A
uniformed ships officer was ap-
preaching her.
Pardon me, madam, but are you
occupying cabin NO. 2S?'
His voice and manner were suff-
cient. Cora could scarcely keep from
screaming her affirmative.
Then you'd better go down to your
husband" the officer said sympa-
thetically. 1.-THE ships roll caught
him Unexpectedly as he was coming
down the steps and he fell, and I'm
afraid, hurt himself"
Cora found a rotund little ships
surgeon bending over David, who lay
unconscious in his berth. He was
plainly uneasy over David's condition,
for he repeatedly and carefully
passed his finger over a puffed bruse
under David's eye and feeling at the
base of his skull. Cora's tongue felt
glued to the roof of her mouth. The
surgeon turned to her and saw the
terrified question in her eyes
Hes either hit on his face as he
fell, which may account for the
swelling under his eye, which I hope
is the case, madam" he said, frown-
ing. "or --" he paused
"Or?" Cora whispered.
cor he may have hit the base Of
his skull" the surgeon finished. This
bruise could mean that, too,'' he said
uneasily. But let's hope it's not that
He'll come to in a little Just let
me have some of that water, please"
Cora obeyed as though speed and
intensity of action were going to save
not only Davids life but hers as well.
Strangely enough, her first feeling in
this terrifying moment was not ter
ror, but an electrical, obsessing pas
sion to do-to do something with her
hands, at once and increasingly.
If she had not been given con-
crete action to perform she would
rent herself with screaming terror
David, unconscious, the surgeon with
his worried frown, the increasing
pitch and roll of the ship, were COM
bination which, if she had taken in at
once in her consciousness, would have
crushed her. But all her conscious
ness focused on the little actions the
doctor wisely allowed her to serve
David with.
Some instinct made her not take her
mind for an instant even from the
most insignificant service she was
performing. Then, as the overwhelm-
ing terror which she expected mo-
mentarily to wiring sanity from her
still stayed away until the moment
when her hands should find no more
to do for David, she sensed what it
was that kept that terror away.

If the cleaner has observed, the pre-
caution already insisted upon, of lying a
folded piece of blotting paper under the
silk before touching it with the sponge,
the chances are that there will not be left
the round spots which is as hard to get rid
of as the original stain. Alcohol is, of all
liquid detersives, the least likely to leave
the obnoxious ring. Stretch the silk taut
and scratch gently with your finger nail
around the edges of the ring, always from
it and evenly until you have blended the
darkened portions of the silk with the
rest. If done carefully this will make
the blur nearly if not quite imperceptible.

THE submarine stopped firing and
upon approaching found that the
boats were pulling away, paying no
heed to persons swimming in the wa

if he did not put about and save
these persons.
