Undisturbcd by his disappointment,
Warren dispatched his breakfast with
hearty enjoyment, but Helen ate al
most nothing. Her worried anxiety
over the expenses of this prohtless
trip had taken her appetite.
"If we hustle, we can make that
ten o'clock train" announced Warren
as they left the dining room. you

At ten minutes of ten they were
in taxi, covering the few blocks to
the Broad Street station.

Helen apprehensively.

one Of your worries that missed fire.
We want to remember that number

Though Warren had the tickets,
there was a slight delay in getting
parlor car seats. They made the
train just as the gates were closing.

way with their suit case.

In fluttering clation Helen settled
herself with papers and magazines,
while Warren and Mr.. Clawson
sought the smoker.
Her first sensation was one OF
thrilled relief at this fortunate and
unexpected turn, for in the long two
hours to New York they would have
a much better chance Of comforting
than at Mr.. Clawson's office
The magazines lay unopened in
her lap as she gazed out at the flying
fields touched by the sunlight, now
struggling through the leadcn clouds
Her exhilaratcd relief was waning
into the realization of how much she
had missed. Their trip was over. She
might have enjoyed every moment
for she loved these unexpected out
ings and a night at big hotel. But
she had spent the time in worrying
in futile, unavailing worry.
Would she never learn to put
things aside Must she worry over
all the trivial details Of the home

anticipated every possible obstacle

But Warren had positively refused tc

Clawson's many peculiaritics.
The expenses Of a possibly fruitles:
trip loomed ominously before her
Their recent weekend at Atlantic
City had cost over seventy dollars
and now even a day and night ir
Philadelphia would run into extrava
giant figures, for Warren would never
travel economically.
They had left a call for 7:3o, and
after a restless night Helen was
awakened by the shrilling telephone
1t was a dark, misty morning, with
a sooty, smoky smell of down
town" city streets in the air. Closing
the windows, she switched on thC
lights to dispel the gray gloom.
