Helen Indignant and Warren Furious.
Worried and depressed, Helen went
in to straighten up Alices room the
morning after her departure.
Everything was in disorder from
the hurried packing. Tissue paper.
strings and empty boxes lay scattered
about and where the trunk had set
was dusty square.
The whole unpleasant scene of the
night before kept beating in Helen s
mind. And not only. had Alice cut
short her visit and left in high dud-
geon-the memory of that was dis
tressing enough--but even more de-
pressing was the fear Of what Aunt
Emma and Warren's other relatives
might say.
That Alice would not hesitate to dis
parage both her and Warren, Helen
knew, and about her visit she would
probably tell many things that were
not true.
Helen was always keen1y sensitive
about what people might say, and now
she could think of nothing but the
unpleasant surmiSes and comments
that Warren'S relatives would make
With brooding anxiety she put back
her clothes in the bureau drawers and
the closet that she had emptied for
Aiice's convenience. Besides the burnt
bureau scarf she now discovered
other evidences of A1ice's careless
ness.
A black smudge on the rug showed

she had shaken a fountain pen and

yes, and then Alice would have
time to tell her mother dot of lies.
Now you get that Off right away. I
want It to go out tonight"
When Helen turned from the phone,
it was with the greatest reluctance
that she went over to the desk to write
the letter. For her letter writing was
always most difficult and from a let
ter like this her mind recoiIed.
How should she begin it? What
could she say? She did not want to
hurt Aunt Emma, and yet it was only
fair to them that she Should know
just how headstrong and unruly Alice
had been.
After much chewing of her pen and
many discarded beginnings the letter
was finally finished.
New York. April "a, 1913.
Dear Aunt Emma: I regret very
much that Alice should have ended
her visit in this way. We did every
thing we could to persuade her not to
start off last night, but she was SO
headstrong that nothing we could say
had any effect. She declared that if
we did not take her to the station
she would go alone-so what could We
do?
The only cause for all this was that
we tried to do what you asked-eo
keep her from seeing that Mr.. Hamp-
ton. He came on from Philadelphia
and called here at to take Alice out.

But Warren refused to let her see
him.
This so incensed Alice that she at
once began to pack her trunk, declar-
ing that she would not stay with us
another night. I pleaded and Warren
scolded, but she would listen to neither
of us. She said that she was engaged
to this man and that she was old
enough to do as she pleased. ! think
you are quite right in feeling that a
man of his age, and a divorced man. Is
most unsuited for Alice. hope you
will be able to break it off-but Alice
is very headstrong.
| am sending by parcel post some
things she left in her haste. / hope
you have gotten the house in shape
again, and that you are over the
worst effects OF the flood, and that
Alice's unexpected return will not
make things harder.
We both regret more than can say
that her visit should have such an
unpleasant ending, but we trust you
will understand that We did all we
could to prevent it. Sincerely your
niece, Helen.
Helen was so far from satisfied with
this letter that she wanted to call up
Warren and read it to him over the
phone, but she knew he would be too
hurried and impatient to listen. SO, re-
luctantly, she took it out to the mail
chute.
The next two days were for Helen
most unhappy ones. She was con-
stantly being forced to explain Alice's
sudden departure. It was very en-
barrassing. particularly when Carrie.
Warren's sister, called UP to invite her
to luncheon.
But even more distressing was her
haunting dread of what Aunt Emma
would think. and Of just what Alice
would tell her. 1t was HeIen's nature
to worry-and over this she worried
herself almost i'll.
When the next morning at breakfast
she found by her plate a thick letter
in Aunt Emma's handwriting, anxious
ly she tore it open.
Dayton, O., April 81, 1913.
My Dear Helen: I believe Warren
paid for Alice's ticket the night she
left, and hasten to return the amount
in this. If there is sanything else that
she owes you, will you kindly let us
know, as neither George nor wish to
be further indebted to you. The
check Warren sent George the week
after the flood We will return the first
OF the month. I regret that We cannot
do SO sooner.

much better for her to have stayed
here.
You seemed to have failed wholly to
understand her. She has an excep-
tionaily nervous, sensitive nature. She
has always been delicate, and we have
always tried to keep from her any
needless Irritation and excitement.
That you should have let her start

strung state, showed, to say the least,
a lack OF consideration on your part.
would not have let the most casual
visitor leave my house under such
conditions much less a girl like Alice.
I cannot understand what you and
Warren were thinking of to allow it.
When Alice arrived she was In al
most a state Of collapse. 1t is need
less for me to conceal the fact that /
am very indignant about it all. and
think George shares my indignation,

Warren, as Helen gasped her dismay
and Indignation.
Its from Aunt Emma--the most
awful letter!" handing it across the
table.
Warren read the letter and threw it
down with grim:
well, that let's us out! guess
we're about through with trying to
help any relatives. Understand? Your
relatives or nrine-we'n steer clear
OF the whole bunch"
"But. dear, my people have never
troubled u.s."

''Why, Warren, you know very we'll
that Uncle Henry is the only one OF
my family that's ever stopped here.
And he was going to a hotel il you
hadn't insisted. / don't see how you
can infer that my relatives have made
a convenience Of u.s."
well, I said we're through with all
relatives, didn't I? Ana that's exactly

PRIVATE PEACE
Proves FAILURE
IN. &. a. SDeciaI,)

Paris, Nov. ga group Of 81 Ger
man soldiers, including a lieutenant,
tried TO pull off private arrnistice in
the Argonne.
They called across from their
trenches, asking for a parley. TWO
Americans who could talk German
answered them.
The spokesman said they were
Saxons-and "Saxons, unlike Prus-
slams, think for themselves.
I'VE know the war is over" they
said, the kaiser has abdicated. We're
tired Of fighting. When we're ordered
to fire we shoot over your heads. Let's
not fire at all any more"
why don't you come over and sur
render?" the Americans asked.
Why should we surrender. The war
is Overland it would be too long a
trip back into your prison camps and
then all the way back to our homes
after We were released. We're going
home from here"
That's as far as the private arnis-
tice got. The next day the Yanks
walked all over that sector and drove
the Huns back.
