The Daily Short Story

windows-11 o'clock, but no Jack
Suddenly she heard a commotion in
the barn, then loud neighing Some
one was in the barn Then she re-
membered. 1t was Beauty, Jacks
favorite horse. evidently suffering
from collie He had been sick once
before, and Jack had used all the
collie medicine" Since then he
had purchased another bottle. Hell
en- instantly recognized the medi-
cine; it was always kept in a blue
half-pint bottle She would give
Beauty some sugar, then pour the
medicine down his throat, as she
( had seen Jack do.
Armed with Jacks revolver for
! greater safety, Helen fought her
! way to the barn. shrinking at each
! flash of lightning and clap of thun-
| der. She dosed the suffering horse.
then waited for results. meanwhile
| patting his face. Suddenly Beauty
| began rearing and kicking. What
could be the matter Helen caught
up the empty bottle. The label
read: "Dose-Two teaspoons in
one-half pint of water" and she
had used the whole bottlei
At that moment Beauty collapsed
upon the floor AS Helen rushed
from the stall, the horse raised his
heels, striking her to the floor.
For the second time that day
Jack searched for Helen. This
time from cellar to attic. AS he
entered their bedroom for the sec
ond time he noticed that the mat
tress was pulled out more than was
necessary He jerked it still more.
A look of horror passed over his
face. His revolver was gone!
Perhaps she had gone to Mrs.
Fishers. He chung desperately to
this thought. although he knew that
in such an event Helen would have
left a note
1t was nearly midnight when
Jack decided to saddle Beauty and
search for his wife at the farm.
The storm was abated and the
barn was flooded with a feeble
light as Jack entered. He easped
and started back Lying in a heap
was Helen-within arms length of
his revolverI
What followed Jack never clear
ly remembered He tried to calm
himself by walking briskly I'D and
down the kitchen while the doctor
worked over Helen. Presently the
door opened and the doctor entered.

''WeH-go in and see her"
He strobe into the sickroom.
Please" Helen's weary voice
startled him. please don't say any |
thing. I'm going away for good
l can't stand it any longer-I'll set
tie for Beauty and everything"
ooh. darn Beauty-Helen, don't |
talk about money. It's about kill !

and mean I've been-just as you"
Il wasn't delirious if that's
what YOU mesA- I just pretended I
to be-"
"Well-1et's forgive and make I'D.
Let's start all over again-please.
Helen, give me one more chance.
Will you, dear?"
For moment she hesitated-not
because she wasn't sure. but be-

DEMANDS u. S. ACTION
IN COAL STRIKE NOW
Correspondent Opposes Delay Until
Actual Fuel Famine Exists
All Over Country.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
In the present coal strike the United
States cannot afford to wait until our
mined surplus of coal is exhausted
and a coal famine is imminent. A
coal famine would undoubtedly break
up the entire economic threads of the
nation. 1t would stop mills and fac
tories, it would throw millions out
transportation system, our electric
utilities and all other endeayors
which are vital to the life of the ma
ton to about 10000, 900 human be-
ings. Can, then. the United States al
ford to stand aside and withhold Its
Interference for the proper concilia-
ton between the operators and
miners and also the public till there
is an actual famine and its horrors
are clearly seen and felt by the
American people? The plan not to in
terfere in the present coal dispute TIL
there is an actual coal famine is i'm
practical and dangerous and should
Immediately be modified.
There are. it is claimed. 100000
miners out on strike. With their de-
pendents and families, the total num-
Der directly affected by the strike is
about three million human beings.
There are also kindred industries de-
pendent on the mining of coal or the
operation of the mines. In the min
ing counties of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia. Illinois and all other states
there are large cities whose CONNER
cial life is dependent on the employ
ment and toll and wages of the
miners. And the United States A2y-
eminent must not stand silent when
the welfare or existence of tens of
millions of people are directly in
VOWED.
The first demand of the American
public should be that their fellow
beings should have work and a decent
living wage. Then when this is pro-
vided it should see that the operators
get legitimate interest on their in
vestments. After that it should see
that all waste, mismanagement and
speculation, everything that is affect
| ing the chaos in the coal industry, is
| eliminated, and ii the American pub
| lic) should get coal at a fair and
| reasonable price-a price set not by
| speculation, selfishness and competi-
! ton. but by the proper cost of pro-
duction, legitimate profit to investors
and we'll planned and benefcent dis
trlbution. NATHAN $. MABEL.
