lin Which Helen Learns How One
Suffers When Love Is UnreQuited.
It was Thursday, the day Helen
had asked Katherine Grabt to dine
with them. But at noon she called
UP, saying she was quite ill and she
begged Helen to come to her. Even
over the phone there were tears IN
her voice.
@Bring the baby If you can't leave
her; but come-just come was her
pitiful appeal.
Helen found her in darkened room
her hair disheveled and her eyes red
with weeping.
ooh, I'm so sorry, DEAR" and she
kissed her. 81 didn't know you'd
been Ill.,
"Oh, il it was only that! One can
stand being ill, but | can't bear this!"

The Ordeal Of the Phone.
And Katherine did not even notice
them. She had risen from the couch
and was walking feverishly up and
down the room. Suddenly she stopped
before the phone.

eyes brilliant with excitement. "Shall

Helen was watching her, her heart

"Listen, Katherine" Helen was de-
termined now.- ''You are going to put
on your things and come home with
me and stay all night You are in
no condition to be left alone"
And, in spite of all protests, Helen
finally had her way. She helped
katherine dress and in half an hour
taxicab had whirled them home. ::
Helen got out a warm dressing
gown which she had Katherine put
on. Then she brought a. cup of tea
and made her comfortable on a couch
in the nursery.
"1f you could only sleep for a 1T
tie while before your dinner-won't
you try?"
And Katherine, who was worn out
with her emotions and her sleepless
night, did fall asleep.
When Warren came home she was
still sleeping. Helen met him in the
hall with whispered explanations.

Of the German Kaiser's agents In this
