THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
Copyright by International News Service

little things go to make up the aver
age woman's life. All of us aren't
women out in the world, you know.
Some of the women who were here
this afternoon have no interests out
side of their homes, SO what else
have they to talk about but maids
and cooking and the thinss that
happen in everyday life?"
Warren listened to Helen's argu-
ment thoughtfully for a few mo-
ments. well. don'S you think it is
rather good for women to be broad
ened out?"
Certainly I do; that's exactly
why l have always wanted to do
something outside of just running
the house. AS l have told YOU, I
could do 1t, but many women can't.
Plenty of perfectly splendid women
have children and do their own
work. OF course, it is almost i'm
possible for them to be active out
side of the home"
But the women who do get in
trested outside needn't necessarily
go into Offices" Warren returned.
TITS different. of course, if a woman
has q position when she is married
and hates to give it up"
II know that, and | was entirely
in the wrong about that matter or
Ned Burns" Helen admitted sweet
ly. Il have been going to tell you
so for ages. 1t took me long time
to find it out, but l did"
Warren grinned, but it was not
a triumphal kind of grin; it was
just friendly.
well, l didn't act very decently
about it," he admitted.
You were better than l." Helen
laughed "I acted like a child.
Goodness, this is a mutual confess
sion, isn't it? But. dear, 1t does
bring US so much closer together If
we have talk like this once in
a while"
Mary came in at that moment.
and Helen got up to help her take
down the tables. Mary" Warren
heard her say, everything went off
beautifully, no less than four people
asked for the receipt tor that nut
bread of yours"
More feminine talk" he inter-
rupted, laughing heartily. But I'll
tell you what, Helen, man likes
to hear a woman talk about those
things once in a while. it sounds
nice and honey, Say, Mary, can l
have another plate of strawberry ice
cream? That's all l want for dinner
tonight. I've been eating all after
noon. and say. Mary" winking to
Helen, slyly, that nut bread of
yours certainly was delicious"

teresting series will appear here
soon.)

It's been a long time since I've had
a chance to make such q bully grand
stand play as this" And then:
You're Colonel Baldwin's daughter,
aren't you?"
She nodded, saying:
How did you know"
Il know the car. And you have
your fathers eyes"
She did not seem to take it amiss
that he was making her eyes a basis
for comparisons. She was her fathers
only son, as well as his only daugh-
ter, and she divided her time pretty
evenly in trying to live up to both
sets of requirements.
You have introduced me; wo-
won't you introduce yourself?" she
said, when a second crash of the
shifting freight train spent itself and
gave her an opening.
I'm Smith," he told her; adding:
It's my real name"
Her laugh was an instant easing
of tensions.
"Oh, yes; you're Mr.. Williams as
sistant. I've heard colonel-da--my
father, speak of you"
No" he denied in blunt honesty,
I'm not Williams assistant: at least,
the pay roll doesn't say so. Up at the
camp they call me the Hobo"
The young woman had apparently
regained whatever small fraction of
of possession the narrow escape
had shocked aside.
Are they never going to take that
miserable train out of the way?" she
exclaimed. I've got to see Mr.. Will
liamS, and there isn't a minute to
spare. Colonel-da-I mean my faith
er, has gone up to Red Butte, and a
little while ago they telephoned over
to the ranch from the Brewster Of
flee to say that there was going to be
some more trouble at the dam"
You won't find Williams at the
camp. He started out early this
morning beyond Little creek, and
said he wouldn't be back until some
what you're needng?"
oh" she exclaimed with a little
gasp of disappointment, I've simply
go to find Mr.. Williamson some
body! Do you happen to know any
thins about the lawsuit troubles?"
81 know all about them; Williams
has told me-"
Then I'll tell YOU what Mr. Martin
telephoned. He said thatthree men
wei going to pretend to relocate a
min ng claim in the hills back of the

o. the reservoir lake-that-is-to-be be-
They're doing it so that they can get
out an injunction. or whatever you
call it, and then We'll have to buy
them off, as the others have been
bought off"
Smith was by this time entirely fa-
miliar with the maps and profles and
other records of the ditch company's
lands and holdings.
''All the land within the limits of
the flood level has been bought and
paid for-some of it more than once,
hasn't it?" he asked.
"Oh, yes; but that doesn't make
any difference. These men will claim
that their location was made long
ago. and that they are just now get
ting ready to work it. It's often done
in the case of mining claims"
When is all this going to hap
pen?" he inquired.
''It is already happening" she
broke out impatiently. Mr.. Martin
said the three men left town a little
after daybreak and crossed on the
Brewster bridge to go up on the
other side of the Timanyoni"

well, I really do think that ev-
erything went off pretty WELL" Helen
said to Warren, meeting his eyes
across the untidy living room, with
the card tables still scattered
around. But / certainly am worn
out"
ITS no cinch to entertain lot of
women, l can tell you," warren said,
lighting a cigar. I'd rather take out
a bunch of men any time
"Oh, Warren, you were such a
dear" Helen sair, dropping into an
easy chair and putting her tired
feet upon footstool. Il shall new
er forget that you played all after
noon just to help me out"
We'll. it was the only decent
thing TO do, as far as L can see"
Warren returned.
"Oh, and, dear, you did make such
a hit. The women had twice as good
time. They always do when there
is man present. and l will say
that every one of them likes you"
Nonsense" Warren said quickly.
They would have liked any man
who had played. 1t was novelty
that's all"
We'll. what did you think of it?
/ was awfully glad that Emily won
the DaS. stayed up most or last
night to finish it, and | thought of
her all the time. She has been
wanting a bag for ages; she even
made a little simple one to bring
here this afternoon"
"Why didn't you buy the prizes,"
Warren asked, lazily.
"Oh, | don't know. For one thing.

had those beautiful pieces of silk
that you bought from Mr.. Richter,
and the handkerchiefs are always
fun to do. Besides. it's much cheap
er to make things than to buy them.
That bag would have cost me seven
or eight dollars"
You women are the funniest lot"
said Warren, blowing smoke rings.
You have the most vitality. and
yet when you get together like you
were this afternoon, you do talk the
veriest nonsense"
"Oh, not all of them. Warren"
mo, not all of them" Warren
agreed. "Of course. Frances is
very intelligent woman. And so
were some of the others. But could
get snatches of conversation from
across the room and most of it WIS
about the different maids, and diff
ferent receipts that the women were
exchanging.
That's feminine falling"
laughed Helen.
"I know; perhaps it is, but it's
so trivial"
"Of course it's trivial. but those

NOT SUPERNATURAL

Robert Mantell tells of a barn
storming company in the west in the
speare. Considerable complaint was
heard relative to the efforts of the
man who essayed to do the Ghost in
Hamlet"
One day a dramatic man on To-
cal paper said to the leading man:
THAT fellow who plays the Ghost
does not suggest the supernatural"
II should say not" assented the
leading man with alacrity, but he
does suggest the natural SUPER

The young woman had taken her
place again behind the big tiller
wheel and Smith calmly motioned
her out of 1t.
Take the other seat and let me
get in here" he said; and when she
had changed over, he swung in be-
hind the wheel and put foot on the
clutch pedal.
What are you going to do?" she
asked.
Pm going to take you on up to the
camp, and then, if you'll lend me this
car, I'll got and do what you hoped
to persuade Williams to do-run
these mining-claim jokers into the
tall timber"
But you can't!" she protested; !;
you can't do it alone! And besides,
they are on the other side of the
river, and you can't get anywhere
with the car. You'll have to go all
the way back to Brewster to get
across the river"
1t was just here that he stole an
other glance at the Very-much-aliv
little face behind the motor veil; at
the firm, round chin and the resolute
slaty-gray eyes.

along with me, if you want to-and
are not afraid"
She laughed in his face.
II was born here in Timanyoni,
and you haven't been here three
weeks; do you think I'd be afraid to
go anywhere that you'll go?"
We'll see about that'he chuckled,
matching the laugh and with that

car rolling gently up to the level of
the railroad embankment and across
the rails of the main track, and pull
ed it around until it was headed
fairly for the upper switch. Then he
put the motor in the reverse and be-
gan to back the car on the siding,
steering so that the wheels on one
side hugged the inside of the rail.
What in the world are you trying
to do?" questioned the young wom-
an who had said she was not afraid.
Wait" he temporized; Just wait
a minute and get ready to hand on
like grim death. We're going across
on that trestle.'
He fully expected her to shrek
and grab for the steering wheel.
That, he told himself, was what the
normal young woman would do. But
Miss Corona disappointed him.

and smash Colonel-daddy's car, but
guess the Baldwin family can stand
it if you can," she remarked quite
calmly.
Smith kept on backing until the
car had passed the switch from
which the spur branched off to cross
to the material yard on the opposite
side of the river. A skillful bit of
Juggling put the roadster over on the
ties of the spur-track. Then he turn
ed to his fellow risk.
"Sit low and hang on with both
hands," he directed. "Now!" and he
opened the throttle.
Ths trestle was not much above
two hundred feet long, and, happily,
the cross-ties we've closely spaced.
Steered to a hair, the big car went
humping across, and in his inner
most recesses Smith was saying to
his immediate ancestor, the well-be-
haved bank clerk: You swab! You
never saw the day when you could
do a thing like this you thought
you had me tied up in a bunch of
ribbon, didn't you?"

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

THE girl who really loves
country life, who likes to
tramp over the mountains
or to walk along the beach or
to play tennis and golf with
vim, will surely want a costume
like this. 1t is smart, it is quite
up-to-date and at the same time
it is simple and practical. You
can copy it in pongee or in linen
or you can copy it in khaki, as
you use it for one purpose or for
another. Khaki is ideal for the
camp, linen and pongee are
favorite materials for general
wear.
For the I6-year size the blouse
will require, 3I yards of ma
terial SO inches wide and the
skirt, 3$4 yards.
The blouse No. oI5o and the
skirt No. eI35 both are cut in
sizes for 10 and IS years. They
will be mailed to any address by
the Fashion Department OF this
paper, on receipt of fifteen
cents for the blouse ten cents
for the skirt.

to his mouth when he saw that she
was struggling to free herself and
couldn't; that she was entangled in
some way behind the low-hung tiller
wheel.
Smith was running fairly abreast
oil the cabooSe when he made this
discovery and the hundred feet of
clearance had shrunk to fifty. In
imagination he could already see the
gray car overturned and crushed un-
der the wheels of the train. In fly
ing squirt he gained a few yards on
the advancing menace and hurled
himself against the front of the stop

crank the motor. There was time only
for a mighty heave and shove to

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need flushing occa sionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches. rheumatic twinges.. torpid liver acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here. take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes delightful effervescent 1ithia- . water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complica- tions.
