When she had written it down,
she went to Stephanie's room and
found it empty.
But though the open window
sunshine streamed, and presently
she saw the red-cloaked figure
down by the rivers edge; heard
the girls sweet laughter float out
among the willows-enchanting,
gay. care-free laughter, where
she had waded out into the shall
low rapids and now stood-knee-
deep, challenging her lover to fol-
low her If he dared.
Then Helen saw his white
fIannelled figure wading boldly
out through the water in pursuit;
saw the slim, red-cloaked girl
turn to flee; went closer to the
window and stood with the writ
ten message in her hand, watch
ing the distant scene through

tears which women shed when
there is nothing elese in the

dripping from head to foot, came
striding across the lawn with all
he loved on earth laughing up at
him in his arms, the girl at the
window turned away and went
into her own room with the writ

And there, seated on the edge
of her bed, she read it over and
over, crying, uncertain, wonder
ing whether she might not with
hold it for a few hours more.
Because life is very wonderful

And there is always time to talk
of life and death when daylight
dies and the last laugh is spent
when shadows fall, and blossoms
close, and birds grow silent

She looked out through drawn

Then, from the hall came
Stephanie's estate voice;
"Helen! Wake up, darling,
and come down! Because Jim

silly talk, but yours is the worst yet
You can't convince me that the day
will ever come when q man with the
jumping rheumatism, such as my hus
band is afflicted with, can sit down
and cure himself by reading a book
even if the book is endorsed by con-
gressmen and justices of the peace
and other dignitaries without number.
"If disease ever is banished from

thing worse will come to take its
place. I believe that everything in

'Early this spring there was an cpl
demic of measles In this neighbor-
hood, and of course my little grand
daughter had to come to visit me.
She never comes when the health con-
ditiOns are all that could be desired,
but just as sure as there is smallpox
or seven year itch or some other con-
tagious disease rampant, that angel
child comes to spend u few days with
her beloved grandmother, and she
catches everything there is going.
"She hadn't been here two days be-
fore she was down sick. She had
more measles than ever saw in one
collection before, and her face was a
sight to be seen. l was inclined to
murmur and repine, for / was just
done with my housekeeping and was
so tired felt as though I'd like to lie
down and sleep for six months, and
there 1 was with sick child in the
house. and l was to be up night and
day seeing that she didn't catch cold,
for if a child catches cold when she
has that disease, some of the measles
are sure to strike in, and then she
goes blind or loses her hearing or be-
comes an idiot
81 was complaining to Mr.. Curfew,
and saying harsh, bitter things, when
q boy came to the door with tele-
gram. 1t was from Cousin Susan, and
she said she was coming on the night
train with her three children to spend
a week with me. She invites herself
that way about once year, and l al
ways dread her coming, for her chill
dren are holy terrors, and there is no
peace where they are.
81 never had good excuse for head
ing Cousin Susan off before, and she
had become a nightmare to me. But
on that occasion l had an excuse all
ready made. I sent back a telegram
saying that my granddaughter was In
the house with an aggravated attack
of measles, and the house was quar-
antined, and policeman with a
sawed-off shotgun was guarding the
approaches to the house. OF course l
didn't use exactly those words, but
that was the meaning of my dispatch,
and Cousin Susan had to take her off
spring and unload them on her Aunt
Maria, who had never suffered WIS.,
itation of that sort before.
"This shows that diseases have
their use, and even few measles in
the house are a wellspring Of pleas

eases, and now must disperse, for
