CHAPTER VII.
A FLOOD IN THE KITCHEN.

Jack Hunter kept his word and
relieved Helen OF all tasks he pos
sibly could and had time for. In
stead OF the cozy evenings he had
expected. most of them he now spent
in the little Kitchen, helping--rather
doing the work Helen should have
done easily--so he couldn't heir
thinking--in tho long day she had
at home. He became quite an ex-
pert at washing dishes, and strange
ly he did not feel at all belittled be-
cause OF It. Helen dried them, and
that OF course wouldn't hurt her
hands. But there were also many
other household tasks, and how rap
idly they increased for him.
II can't empty the pan under the
Ice box, II Is too heavyl" Helen
complained, and afterward that
came under his supervision. Then
the box itself had TO be thoroughly
cleaned, and twice n week he did IT,
perhaps far better than Helen would
have done. There was the garbage
pail 10 scald, the milk bottles, a hum
dred and one little things that took
UP his precious evening hours.
81 wouldn't mind, Helen, II you
would stay and talk with me-" he
often said, but after drying the
dishes she would take magazine
and cuddle up on the couch in the
living room 10 read, or play a new
record she had bought, In any event
most OF his evening was spent alone.
Often when bedtime came he was
almost too tired to crawl into bed.
Il shall have TO find some other
way" no said more than once TO
himself, "a man can't work all day
and half the night. too" But when
ever he said anything TO Helen she
would tell him pleasantly;

II almost wish you would feel o

1t was after dinner, and Jack wss
at the dishpan with a big apron en-
veloping him, washing the dishes

General Grant was poor student,
ranking almost at tho foot OF his
class at West Point: he was also a
business failure, and l don't sup
pose anybody will claim that he
made a brilliant president. yet as a
soldier he knew what was neces-
sary to defeat the south. and kept
hammering at Lees line until he
broke It.
II Is a mistake, however, TO think
that because a man has made n sue
Gees in one thing he can duplicate
the success in something else. or
that he is all-wise and is capable
of giving sound advice on every
question that might come up.
a great general rarely makes n
great president. Why de we elect
them? A successful automobile man
ufacturer probably would make a
poor senator or ambassador. A poor
business man for twenty years sud-
denly strikes an oil gusher and be-
comes a millionaire over night. Why
do we now think he is capable Of
passing wisely upon every big un-
dertaking that confronts our city?
But we DO, and his advice is
sought on all occasions.
There are exceptions TO the rule,
