 1 Her face cleared. "Of course 1 goosie,'' she answered But I mus, help you dress. Your breakfast vii | beshere in a momentr
 sprang out of bed before she could prevent me, and gave her a regular bear hug"
 Help me dress!'' exclaimed in dignantly. Indeed, you will do nc such thing. I feel as strong as ever and I am going to put you to bed l before I go to Dicky. But tell me, how isr-'
 She spared me from speaking the name I so dreaded.
 How It Happened.
 SMiss Draper is no worse. Indeed, pr. Petit thinks she has rallied slightly this morning. ! She is resting easily now, has been since about 8 o'clock, when Dr. Petit went home"
 l was hurrying into by clithes as she talked. Have you found out yet how it happened?'' I asked.
 "1 know what Harry does,' she answered. 'He says that yesterday the girl appeared as calm, even cheer full as ever, went with him to the managers office, performed her danc- ing stunt as c1everly as she did the other night, and in response to the very good offer the manager made her, asked for a day to consider it. As she was leaving the office, she asked Harry if Dicky were in his studio, saying she had left there something she prized highly and would like to get it. Something in the way she said it, made Harry suspicious or course, I had told him confidential ly of her attempt to drown you, so he remarked nonchalantly that he also was going to the studio.' He said she seemed nonplussed for moment, then coolly accepted his escort
 'They went to the studio, and Harry stuck close to Dicky, never permitting the Draper girl to be alone with hira for a minute. After a few moments she bade them a common rlace good-by and left, but she must have stayed near by, and cleverly shadowed them when they left.
 At any rate she appeared at the door of our house shortly after Harry and Dicky had entered-Harry wanted to get some things before coming out to Marvin again-and asked Betty to see Dicky. Unfortun- ately Harry was in his room and did not hear the request, so that Dicky went into the little sitting room off the hall with her, and Betty says the girl herself closed the door. What was said, no one knows but Dicky and the girl.
 Harry heard a shot, rushed down stairs, and found Dicky win the blood flowing from his rm, struggling with the girl in an attempt to keep her from firing another shot. Harry took the revolver away. unloaded and pocketed 1t, and could have prevented any further tragedy only for Dicky's growing faint from loss of blood.
 Harry turned his attention to Dicky, and the girl picked up a etiletto, which Harry uses as a paper know he has the house filled with all sorts of curios from ali over the world-and drove it into her

''When people say how handsome 1t IS, my husband calls 1t our dog or sometimes even my dog,' " she says. But when it digs up the flower bed nc tells me to come to see what that dog of yours has been doing ,"
 'That Child Of Yours,
 Again, I have even heard fathers who ask their wives what that child or yours is crying about"
 Perhaps you may have noticed that in all the examples of shifting point of view which I have used, the shift CT was of the masculine sex
 l assure you that this was entirely unintentional.
 l only used the examples which attracted my attention Queer they should all happen to be of that one sex, wasn't 1t?
 Not knocking any, as a slangy friend of mine says when any one has delivered a left-hand compliment.
 With My Letter Friends.
 Question--Where is the correct place to set up an old-fashioned chest of drawers and an old warming pan?
 Answer-I should put the warm Ing pan in my guest-room. The chest of drawers might go in the bedroom, in the hall, or, if specially good looking, in the dining-room, for linen and silver.

"The''. or "Your"

A neighbor of mine sometimes drives an automobile belonging to friend of his when the latter is away
 When things so smoothly, he re- fers to the automobile as "the ma chine.' For instance, We were out in the machine today"
 But when things go i'll, he always calls it Jacks machine" For in- stance, That lighting system on Jacks machine is the greatest nuis- ance. It go out of order yesterday and we were fussing over it for an hour"
 This shifting of the point of view interesting phenomenon, isn't it?
 Surely, you have noticed it.
 Usually It Is ''17he'' Table.
 For instance, you and your hus- Perhaps it is at your suggestion, willingly acquiesced in by him. Or dinarily it is called the table or chair or whatever it may be.
 Then some evening he goes into the room in the dark and stumbles over it. Whereupon he indignantly cries out, What's that confounded table of yours doing here?" (Here being of course the place where 1t has stood unchallenged ever since it was bought).
 A neighbor of mine has a dog.

Why Lillian Made Sure Madge Would Rest Before She Told Her How
 the Tragedy Occurred.

Dickys wounded arm healed rapid 1v In fact. within a week he was able to return to Marvin with no trace of his disablement visible to any inouisitive eye
 Grace Draper, however, still ling cred in the borderland between life and death The first night of her in jury Dr. Petit had not thought she could live until morning. But her wonderful vitality sustained her and for time she seemed to rally slightly. Then upon the third day infection developed, aad the grim fight for her life was on again,
 Lillian had feared infection from the moment she learned what weapon the girl had used in her attempt to do away with herself True to her promise to tell me everything that had occurred as soon as she learned 1t herself, Lillian came to my room carly in the morning following Grace Drapers mad act. I found her sitting by my bedside when I opened my eyes. Through the lowered curtains I caught a ray of sunlight, and knew that it was broad day.
 "Dicl1y?' I asked wildly, starting up from my pillows.
 Lillian put mo back again with a firm hand.
 Lie still,' she said gently, ''Dicl<y is fine and when you have eaten the breakfast Betty has prepared, and which Katie is bringing you, you may go upstairs and take care of him all day"
 "But it is daylight I protested. "I must have. slept all night. And you? Have y8 slept at an?''
 Don't bother about me-" she re- turned lightly. T shall have a good long nap as soon as you are ready to take care of Dicky"
 But I meant to sleep only two or three hours. I don't see how I ever could have slept straight through the night
 l really felt near to tears with chagrin that I should have left Dicky to the care of any one else while I soundly slept the night through.
 Lillian looked at me keenly, then smiled.
 Can't you guess?" she asked sig nifcantly.
 The Tenderest Care
 You mean you put something in the muled wine to make mo sleep?'
 "Of course. You had been through enough for any one woman. Dicky was in no danger, and I had no desire to have you ill on my hands"
 I flushed a bit resentfully. I was not quite sure that I liked her high handed way of dispOsing of me as if I were a child. Then as I felt her keen eyes upon me I knew that she was reading my thoughts, and I felt nightly ashamed of my childish petulance.
 You must forgive my arbitrary way of doing things" she resumed, a bit formally.
 I put out my hand pleadingly. Don't, Lillian" I said earnestly. 'I'll

In commenting on the ''spenderS g
tie Great White Way writer In the
American Magazine asks II the improv-
ident habits Of the average meropon-
tan are due to a shorter life.
.aThe grocer on the corner told my
wife that he didn't try to save any
thing because we all die before we
are sixty, anyway. $50 What's the
user he said. You never see many
old people around. I won't live to be
old. and neither viii you.
ssThat last statement stuck In my
mind. It Is a fact that in the streets
Of New York You see few people past
sixty. The actual dangers connected
with street traffic must keep the OLD
indoors to a certain extent, or else It
drives them away to the little towns.
Anyway, l am sure you see smaller
proportion of old people in great cities
than you see in small towns. ?
"Does this fact influence a good
many, like the grocer, to spend all and
to save nothing because Of an IN
consciously formed opinion that al
most everybody works along and dies
In the harness before sixty? Is this
one reason why city people are more
improvtdent and extravagant than
country people?'

Hints.
BETTER THAN BRIDGE

For two years belonged to club Of
women, about thirty five years old, who
met to play bridge every Wednesday at
ternoon. Six months ago We decided
that We were growing too stout and not
getting enough exercise, 90 we changed
our club to the "Get Thin Club"
Now, instead OF playing cards Wednes-
day afternoons, we 60 for walk In the
country. We began with five miles, but
now we can do eight.
We have further agreed that when 60
ing down town we will always walk at
least one way, and We have given up
candy, potatoes, COCOA and pie. The re-
suit il that we look and feel much bet
ter, and three new members have asked
TO be admitted to the club.

always have the very best shortening on
hand for oil culinary purposes. It 10
surprising what Q great economy this
