"Well, what are you going to
have?"
Warren, 1 don't feel bit hungry,
] think I'll have a club sandwich,
dear"
well, I should say not! Here
am taking you out for dinner at
classy place. and you want to order
a club sandwich"
But Warren, | really haven't felt
well to-day. l woke up feeling dizzy,
and right after breakfast l had a
sick headache"
"Since you've taken to drinking
nothing but strong coffee for break
fast, | shouldn't wonder at all if you
had a sick headache every morning.
Look at me! ! never used to eat any
thing in the morning and now ] eat
everything. It's simply a matter of
training. / used to think | didn't feel
like eating, and | simply determined
to eat or know the reason why. Now
l like breakfast as well as l do any
meal"
"Well, dear, it may have worked
all right in your case, but | have al
ways believed that if the stomach
doesn't feel like food, it oughtn't to
be forced"
"And so you only drink strong
coffee for breakfast, and I'll warrant
! you take nothing but some tea and
|, toast for lunch, instead of eating
three good, nourishing meals every
day. | tell you it's all wrong"
But, Warren, don't see why YOU
should object to my ordering a club
sandwich. You can order what you
| like. Please let me order what l feel
like eating"
A Former Experience.
But often you women have to be
tempted. Now remember that time
in London when you felt this way
and l made you eat something nour-
ishing? You felt better directly after
you had put some food into your
stomach"
Helen did remember that time.
/ She could almost feel the half sick
sensation that she had in the taxi
and the smell of the chop house
! Warren took her to, and the distaste
| she had had for the thick steak that
had been served them. But it was
! true-she he'd felt better.
IF I remember right" Warren
was saying, you hadn't felt like any
lunch that day and had given in to
you. What did you have for lunch
| to-day?"
Il had plenty, dear. Mary creamed
me the chicken that was left from
last night and / really ate quite a
lot"
That's good. Well, you must try
to eat something for dinner. Here
comes the waiter. Remember this is
q classy place and you can't order a
club sandwich at dinner time and
get away with 1t. Think of some
thing you would like to have or let
me order for you"
Helen cast her eyes down the
menu. There wasn't thing among
the entrees that appealed to her in
the least, and yet she hated to dis
please Warren. If she allowed him
to order for her, she knew very well
that he would order steak or some
thing equally heavy, and she really
felt too i'll to tackle anything in the
! way of meat.

sake, talk, Linda!"
There was curious impersonal-
ity in Linda's manner, as If she
stock aloof from it all, as If the
fire of her vitality had burned out.
She lay back her chair with eye
lids dropping, speaking in dull, life
less tones.
"Monohan shot him because
Charlie came on him in the woods
setting a fresh fire. They've sus-
pected him or some one in his pay,
of that, and they've been watching.
There were two other men with
Charlie, so there is no mistake.
Monohan got away. That's all
know. oh. but I'm tired! I've
been hanging on to myself for so
long. About daylight, after we
knew for sure that Charlie was over
the hill, something seemed to let
go in me. I'm awful glad you came

tea?"
Linda's head dropped over the
teacup. Her eyelids blinked.
Dear" Stella said tenderly.

out"

tered. There's another room in
there"
Stella tucked the weary girl into
the bed and went back to the kitchen
and sat down in the willow rocker.
After another hour the nurse came
out and prepared her own break
fast. Benton was in no danger, the
nurse told Stella. The bullet had
driven cleanly through his chest,
missing as by a miracle any vital
part, and lodged in the muscles OF
his back, whence the surgeon had
removed it. Though weak from
shock loss of blood, excitement he
had rallied splendidly and fallen
into a normal sleep, from which he
was just awakening.
Benton lifted alert, recognizing
eyes when Stella peeped in the bed
room door.
Hello, sis!" he greeted in

and If Helen had been feeling at all
like herself she would have been
thrilled at the prospect of the dish
But the smell of 1t made her faint,

Warren's attitude. That alone would
have robbed her of an appetite, even
If she had had one.
: Her plate was brought to her
heaped with delicious looking veg
etables and a generous helping of
rare steak. Warren attacked his
own hungrily, and looked up at her
inquiringly as he tasted the first
mouthful.
After you get some of this down
you'll feel better" he said brightly
And Helen, forced into a corner
felt that there was nothing to dc
but try to eat something, ever
though it made her sick for days.
She wondered why Warren had so
little consideration for any one but

She dressed herself. took the ele-

the night clerk to have maid pack
her trunk and send it by Express
to Hopyard, care of st. Allwoods
Hotel on the lake. Then she
walked out to the broad-stepped
carriage entrance.
A low-hung, low-hooded yellow
car stood there, exhaust purring
family. She paid the driver, sank
into the soft upholstering beside
him, and the big six Slid out into
the street There was no traffic.
In a few minutes they were on the
outskirts of the city, the long as

a silver band between green, Dushy
walls.
Ninety miles of road, good, bad

with dawn an hour old, they woke
the Rosebud ferryman to cross the

Stella ran across the way The
front door of the green cottage
stood wide. An electric drop light
burned in the front room, though it
was broad day. When she crossed
the threshold she saw Linda sitting
in chair, her arms folded on the
table edge, her head resting on her
hands. She was asleep, and she did
not raise her head till Stella shook
her shoulder.
Linda Abbey had been pretty
girl, very fair, with apple blossom
skin and a wonderfully expressive
face. 1t gave Stella a shock to see
her now, to gauge her suffering by
the havoc it had wrought Linda
looked old, haggard, drawn. Her
eyes were dull, lifeless, just as one
might look who is utterly. exhausted
in mind and body. Oddly enough,
she spoke first something irrelevant,
inconsequential.

what time is it?"
Stella looked at her watch.

How is Charlie?" What happened

Stella caught her breath. She
hadn't been prepared for that.
"Is he-is he She could not
utter the words.

rose stiffly from her seat. A door

She opened it, and Stella, looking

She WINGED inwardly at his words,

she said.

"Oh. but Warren, l simply can't
eat it, Helen protested. But War
rem had sent the waiter on his way
and simply said:
You'll feel different when you be-
gin to taste little real food"
Helen felt angry. She rebelled
against Warren taking her out to
dinner and not allowing her to eat
what she wanted, simply because ne
wished to show his authority in or
dering the meal. There certainly
was no other reason that she knew
of. Surely in a first class place it
made no difference what a guest or
dered if he happened to fancy it.
The clans came and Warren be-
gan to eat hungrily. Helen felt that
she must try to eat, although she
felt that each mouthful would choke
her. She knew that IL she tried

her of this evening for days to come

ly. She hated to have the attention
of the waiter focused upon her, and
she invariably grew flustered and un-
certain what to order.

then. That will build you up and
make you feel better. Make it a

Facts About the Sugar Situation

Our Government has asked you to use sugar spar
InS!y: We believe that the people Of this country
will be glad to do their part to the sugar
supply when they know the facts
These facts are as follows:
More than two-thirds of the source Of Europes
sugar supply IS within the present battle lines This
has resulted in greatly reducing the production Of
sugar in Europe.
England and France and other countries have been
forced to SO for sugar to Cuba.
Ordinarily. nearly all Of the Cuban raw sugar comes
to the United States and is refined here chiefly for
home This is not the case now
In view Of the exceptional world demand for sugar
there is no surplus. and barely enough tide us over
until the new crop comes in. The people Of the New
England and Atlantic Coast States should use sugar
SparinGly. No one should hoard or waste It.
This Company has surplus sugar to SELL It's
working with the Government to conserve the supply
and to take care Of the Allies SO far as possible.

The Importance of the United States
establishing and developing a depart
ment of the air which will work with
the military and naval branches for
service cannot be over-estimated nor
over-emphasized. Each succeeding
day brings the airman greater respect
and latitude. He is no longer re-
gsr6ed in Europe as an experiment or
subsidiary. The aerial arm is recog-
nized as being a powerful factor in
modern warfare. For quite long
time our Allies looked upon the air.
man as a sort of rookie and insisted
upon treating him as such. They
were a long time before they reeog-
nized that the airman knows more
about the art of flying and air-6ghting
than do Generals and A6mirals. But
now we see the aerial corps working
with the army and navy-scouting,
directing the fire of artillery, provid-
ing plans of the disposition of the
enemy's men and guns, and in fact
bringing victory on their wings. 1t
is for this country to take the short
cut, says the Buffalo Evening News.
We cannot afford to keep the airmen
out of job at Washington. We gave
the world its wings. No nation knows
better how to make them. But how
to get enough of them for war pur-
poses, how to dispose of them to the
best advantage aud with least waste
of effort is the problem. 1t requires
men who know airships and alright.
ing. 1t requires the airmsn placed
in sole control and management of ar
efficient air service. This is a short
cut which the United States can make
toward mastery in war over enemie:
on land and sea. Materials, ingenu.
ity, men-we have them ALL They
must be co-ordinated and consolidated.
1t is a recipe for victory.
