Helene's Married Life Christie Copyright by Newspaper Syndicate
By May Christie

We drove along the country roads in silence. My heart was too full for words.
 Then suddenly noticed that Mir. Anstruther was regarding me, with a close scrutiny. There was a wistful, troubled look upon his kindly face.
 Helene, are you intimate with that Tony Lascelles chap? What-what sort of fellow is he? I'd rather like your opinion"
 The suddenness of the questions started me. They caught me una wares.
 "Tony Lascelles? Oh. can't stand him. I cried, for once quite off my guard. "He's so unscrupulous-so designing-so-" broke off, re- gretting my impulsive speech.
 But Alice's husband was nodding grimly, as though he perfectly agreed with my remarks on Tony.
 l always thought him rather more than a fool" His voice was stern. But Alice seemed to like him. And of course the chaps well-mannered, and is received more or less every where. That isn't saying much. But it's all that most people ask, these days" He cleared his throat. "I'm glad of your opinion, Helene. Be- cause you're normal, well-balanced girl, and you've lots of common sense. I-I wish you could give some of the latter to Ali:e-for she needs it rather badly"
 was astounded at his words. New CT before had MT. Anstruther made the slightest criticism of his ador- cd young wife Things must have been going badly, indeed. =.
 "I-we-Alice and I've want you to stay on down here, for as long as possible" he went on. "It's such a comfort, having you about the place."
 Again I was astonished. T. to make up a third-to play the role of gooseberry.
 or was I to act as sort of chap erone and watchdog for Mistress AL ice?
 "As long as. the invalid is in the house, we hope that you will stay
 The invalid! So that was it! was a useful adjunct.
 When we reached Anstruther Lodge, I saw no sign of Alice. went upstairs to my room.
 But I took the route that led me past Jim's bedroom. And as passed the door, I started--for a voiced called out: "Helene!"

! lybeating heart. Had Jim been call. ing me?
 Nc second sound came from his room, however.
 I could not tear myself away. The door stood half ajar. 1 longed to peep inside-and yet I was afraid.
 Then 1 heard footsteps coming down the corridor. l pulled myself together, and moved on.
 Helene dear, is that you?" Alice came gliding towards me, a vision in mauve chiffon draperies. "Oh, Pm so glad to see you back again!"
 Her words were almost identical with those her husband had uttered scarcely half an hour ago, on meeting mo at the railway station. II represented a smile.
 She caught me by the arm. Her pretty babyish face seemed to have new lines in it, and in her blue eyes there lay'a rather shrewish look.
 Helene, take my advice, and nev- CT marry. The game isn't really worth the candle. I'm sick of being nag ged at all day long. And tired of never having any fun. For two pins, I'd throw the whole thing up, and go off to Timbuctoo, where should never see man again--nasty annoying, hateful creatures!"
 Again l had to keep smile back. Alice in Timbuctoo--flirtat AL ice, literally lived on admiration. Why, even on desert island, Alice would find something to flirt with or would perish from sheer ennui!
 She led me to my room, where a cheerful little fire was burning Ev- idently, I was now "persona grata" chair was drawn up to the blaze, and an immense footstool My blue silk kimono was laid out, too close at hand.
 "Take off your suit and hat, and rest, Helene. You look fagged.' Alice fussed about me. Bad child, running off to town like that, and freighting the patients mother! She arrived here at o'clock-said you had called to tell her of her sons condition. She's crazy about you Helene as you're the loveliest thing she's ever seen--and the most un- ! selfish! Quite flattring to me isn't it?" Here Alice laughed good ma aturedly.
 I wondered over the reason of this sudden friendlncss. Alice gen. erally has an excellent reason for hel actions. Some crisis was at hand no doubt-and my fair hostess wish cd to enlist me on her side <.
 He diatribe at marriage was q clue. Her husband had at last "turned" and Alice felt a lit l tic nervous of the situation. As

EXCITED, VIOLENT FLUCTUATIONS MARK
 THE DAY IN COTTON

New York, April S.--Thcrc were excited and violent fluctuations in the cotton market today. Trade in terests were active buyers of old crop months, particularly of July, which sold up to 39.55. All months made new high records but the ad- vance was retarded by better weather conditions in the south and there were sharp reactions in late trading. July closed at 38.9S, with the general market closing steady, net IA points higher to 40 points lower. Active new crop months showed net losses Of 7 to 10 points for the day.
 The market opened easy at an ad- vance of five points on May but gen orally lower under releasing and selling for a reaction The buyine of old crop positions for trade ac- count included purchases of July be- llcVcd to be for southern spInners and there was considerable buying of new crop positions against for ward requirements. This caused ir. regularity right after the call but there was d good deal of rcactionary sentiment.
 The persistent demand for nca1 months and the forecast for unset tied weather in the southwest how ever, started a covering movement later, but the market eascd off in the late trading.

 Alice made peevish little face

 q haven't had experience of that sort" l rejoined absent-mindedly. l was wondering how Jim was-and how soon self-centered little Alice would condescend to mention his con- dition It was difficult for her at any time to get beyond the limited circle of herself.
 Nonsense, Helene," she cut in briskly. "You have had oodles of experience. l don't know any girl who's had more attention from all kinds of men than yourself. But thank your lucky stars you haven't married any one of them--for mar riage changes man from an ador- ing lover into qucrulous, cantank- erouS-"
 "Stop, Alice" I put both hands up to my ears. "Spare me these dissertations. I've been dashing round all day, and I'm tired out. have mercy"
 She laughed her light, affected laugh. And then her face grew se- rious.
 My husband and I have had lit I tie row, Helene" She drowned a little, staring into the fire "He's jealous of Tony-that's the trouble. So-here she shot tentative glance at me-"I told him that Tony car ed for you-and you for him-and that encouraged him to come here entirely for your sake! Loves young dream, and all that sort of thing you know----'' She broke off awk- wardly.

Ten Years
 His Years

Doesn't it make you feel good-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten years or so younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac- tion and say to yourself: Well, he didn't make such a bad guess, at that"
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.
 When you sense a feeling of slowing down of your physical forces when your stomach, liver, kidneys and other organs show signs of Weakness--whell you notice a lack of your old time 'spep" and : ~'punch''-in other words, when you feel your vitality is on the wane, you should cora-

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, April 8.--Important operations in the old crop months to- day affected the entire list of active months in the cotton market, carry Ing prices to new high levels and forcing May to the record price fol this market of 41.05 cents pound For a while the market was entirely in control of the long side but to- ward the close there was much re- leasing.
 Closing prices were net four points lower to 73 points higher May showed the widest gain.
 At the highest there were reports of prospective offerings by spot in- terests who had tenders in view but May at 41.05 compared with the board price of 4150 for mddline spots.
 Fears of more rain in the belt were a help to values, but there was a brief period of comparative easi- ness in the early trading, based tc some extent on the good weather re- flccted on the weather map.

TOO MUCH TOBACCO AFTER F0RTY-F|VE
 SUICIDAL, SAYS DR.

Immodcrate use O. tobacco after 45 is suicidal, says Dr. Hirshchfeld, eminent medical author. and other doctors agree with him. Excessive use of tobacco is bad for anyone, any time, and how much you can stand can only be told after it is too late if you have used too much. Better to quit, and here Nicotol will help you. Get a few Nicotol tablets from any druggist and let them drive the craving from you. If you want to resume after seeing how much bette, YOU feel without tobacco you can de SO any time. Nicotol is sold under l positive moncy-back guarantee. Il costs you little to quit and nothing if Nicotol fails. :. Note: If you know you are smok ing too much let Nicotol help you re

 Federal investigation of an alleg- ed corner in the May delivery of corn attracted more attention at the open ing today than at any previous time The bearish sentiment thus cngend- cred was temporarily offset by the government crop report pointing to a smaller yield of winter wheat than had been looked for.
 For the most part oats merely fol lowed corn.
 Provisions showed dearth of support. Lard especially was weak
