THE SAVING WIFE


sorts Of outdoor games and in
door housekeeping accomplish
ments, until an accident lowered
her vitality and rendered her sub
ject to recurring headaches.
She sat for some time going
over the cold facts, but again
failing to arrive at the right
viewpoint. Suddenly an odor Of
something burning reached her
through an open window. With
vague sense Of foreboding, she
rushed to the kitchen to find it
filled with smoke.
Hastily turning off the gas, she
opened the oven door and discov-
cred the dinner she had been to
such an expenditure of strength
to prepare-burned to crisp!
When Harry Smythe came in
from the garden he found his
wife in a faint on the kitchen
. floor. One glance at the open
oven told him the whole story.
He summoned the doctor. When
he came. he examined the patient
and shook his head gravely.
When Harry Smythe told his
wife the doctor said she must
go away for a while he met with
no opposition. The question of
expense or economy wasn't even
mentioned. Helen allowed her
husband to see her cozily estab.
lished in a comfortable hotel on
the seashore, and after promising
to obey the doctors rules, with
frightened, fearful eyes babe him
adieu.
A month of this lazy, carefree
life put so much punch and vim
into the erstwhile faded little
woman that new Helen came
home to preside over the prec-
ious bungalow.
Harry, dear" she began, al.
most before she had removed her
wraps, ARE you glad 1 didn't
die?"
"Die?" repeated the happy, beam
ing husband. Never thought you
would"
Helen sighed thoughtfully.
ut was an awful expense, dear,
but I've got two hundred dollars
in the bank-saved out Of money
you gave me to get things done.
That will help pay the bills and
er-I guess I've had my lesson
in economy"

The Story Of the Black Princes
Ruby.

The Story Of the Black Princes
Ruby.
" HOUGH according to" Hindu
reckoning it Is only a red
spinel-a ruby of the low
est "caste'-it is the most IA
nous historical ruby in the world
and occupies foremost place in
Britain's Imperial Regalia.
In the fourteenth century Pedro
the Cruel reigned in CASTLE, and
Abu Said, chief in the neighbor-
ing Moorish kingdom Of Ora
NADIA, with his magnificent reti-
nue., came to visit his court. They
were all foully murdered by Don
Pedro to gain possession Of this
cleaning red jewel.
The English BLACK Prince" and
his wife, the Fair Maid Of Kent"
were at Bordeaux. For coming to
his aid in battle, April 80, 1867,
Don Pedro presented him with the
ruby, which he wore in his bonnet.
But it was a costly gift for the
Black Prince, while in Spain, con-
tracted the disease which caused
his death.
The next appearance of the
ruby was also on a battlefield
at Agincourt, October 25, 1415.
This time it adorned the iron
casque Of King Henry V as, ar
rayed in gorgeous gilt-embossed
armour, he went proudly to battle.
The French knights had sworn
to strike the crown from his head
and the Due d'Alencon finally
struck it a terrific blow with his
battle-axe. The king, nearly done
for, went down, but he was res
cued, and a small portion of the
crown containing the ruby was
saved.
At the coronation of every king
and queen of England since then
this ruby had shone resplenent
in the front of the Imperial Crown.

He was able to go down the
row Of clay pipes, however, snap

stem, each in its turn. Then,
having leaned over the counter in
utter idleness for a minute or

Romeo and Juliet stuff.
Wonder how the little
Warren girl VIII play her part?"
The new. week opened propi-
tiously. I found a telegram on my
desk when I got to my office
bright and early Monday morn
ming. It was from Mabel Storrs
saying she'd meet me for lunch
at las I'd suggested in the letter
I entrusted so fearfuIlys to- the
vague r. F. D: address they gave
me at her boarding house. Il .
The Mabel who met me at the
tea room I'd designated astounded
me-. She was my Goddess Of
Liberty girl starched up and
tailored to the nth degree rof her
clean, cool and long forgotten
aloofness. It was as If Mabel
had taken herself and the calen-
dar and had forced them back to
the bygone months when she
had been to me merely an able
and puzzling office manager.
Good afternoon, Anne" she
greeted me precisely. "I knew
you'd be prompt. and as you're
buster than just now I made a
point of being five minutes ahead
OF time"
"Howdy, Mabel" said, striving
for a slightly more informal note.
"I hope I didn't get you up with
the cows and chickens and rush
you In on some Interestingly
early train"
"AIl right, If you Had. Your
letter meant business. And I'm
ready. to jump at, a good job.
I'm like an old war horse after
a weeks idleness. Vacations aren't
much in my line" replied Mabel
smiling across the5 little corner
table I'd. engaged. a&f

I smiled. "I sold you to It insight
unseen. And now all have to
do Is to sell the work to. you.
It's not just along your regular
line"
Much Wrought Up. -
Mabel looked at me starkly,.
Her eyes were dull Goals in star
ing sockets. There was a terri
BILE blackness back Of her, look.
She. was lustreless and utterly
somber. Before she spoke a word
the quality Of her intense, search
ing gaze silenced me-. It was.
hard to tell If she was searching
her soul or mine. After a minute
she said: ~
1.-THE harder the. work Is the
better for me. If 1t uses me up
there won't be much. Of me to lie
awake tossing and thinking in
endless circles all through the
night"
