MY MARRIED LIFE
Hy ADKLE GARRISON
How Mudie Saved the Child Upstairs; the Maid's Frifhtenrd Plea
TIOOU one look at the stienm of water
th it poured fiom the e'ellli.g of the
liti hen thin dashed for the door.
"Quick, Katie. ' 1 commanded, "get tho
viisb boiler and all the big ans to catch
this water Kmpty them In the sink ns
fast at. they fill. I will run for th Janitor."
My heart was heavy as I fairly rnn down
the stairs to the Janitor's quarters No
telephoning for me 1 wante-d action as
soon na possible To think that this annoy
ing thlnr fhould happen Just ns I had
everj thing In spotless readiness for my
inother-ln-law! ,
I was glad Indeed to see Callahan at the
door of his quarters
"O Mr I'allahan!" I gatped ' Plenso
rome nt once Our apartment Is being
Hooded "
"Ju.u n minute. mVam " Callahan's com
posuro was irritating to me I felt ns If
he ought to start on the run up the stairs
"Where Is the water coming from. our
bathroom, or where?"
"Oh, not In m apar'ment at all." I re
turned "It Is e-omlng through the ceiling
In a perfect Hood "
"Oh, that'll be Mrs McGoicrn's apart
ment Isn't she Just nbove jou"'"
"I don't know " 1 spoke Impatiently
Why did he not rush U stnlrs Instead of
standing there tpeculatlng upon the Identity
of tho occupant of the apartment above me?
,"You aie No J"" Callahan either did
not notice or did not mind my Impatience
"Vcs. jes "
"Then the one above juu will b- No. 12
I II Just turn the wnter off that apartment
right now. and then we can llnd out later
what's doln' the damage"
Ho disappeared Into the darkness of the
room behind him, and I heard the ring of
metal I scored mvself for stupldltj I
had been Inipn'lent because he did not rush
upstalis at once, when all the time he had
been pursuing the only course which would
enable him to stop the flood.
A THRHATKNING DANGKR
He reappeared In' a moment, and I fol
lowed him back upstairs, meeklj enough.
He stopped nt m kitchen door and looked
at the hooded kitchen, then at the celling,
from which the wa'er was still dripping
although slowlv
"Those kldi have let the bathtub over
flow," he hald as It to himself "I'll bet
their mother Is downtown, and that maid"
He hurried out of the door nnd up the
back stairs Ills manner Indicated that
lie was worried about something As I
looked at him In vague wonder I heard m
name Called sharply
"Mis Graham, ma'am, would you mind
stepping up heie quick?"
I hurried up the steps', leading to tho
apartment above Callahan was Just In
serting his pass key Into the lock.
"I'vo rung, but I don't flare wait," ho
said "There's an ooor of gas here. I
may want you to help me."
I did not like entering a stranger's apart
ment In this unceremonious manner, but
Callahan's manner was Imperathe As we
opened tho door the odor of gas came more
Btrongly to our nostrils, I saw that every
Jet of the kitchen range was open.
"Leave the door open and shut off that
gas quick " commanded Callahan, as he
dashed through the kitchen door Into tho
room beyond
I turned off all the Jets and followed
him Thero was no one In tho living room
or dining room, but In the bathroom a
chubby boy stood loanlngftiver the bath
tub, full to overflowing Ho was trying
to climb into It, crying as he did so. I
shuddered as I snatched him away from
the tub If he had lost his balance while
alone he would surely have been drowned,
"I'LL KEEP QUIKT"
"Me want my boat," ho cried, struggling
In my arms. "My boat losted."
"Where Is your mamma, Gordon?" Cal
lahan'p manner was gentle, his tone soft.
"Downtown." Tho baby's eyes still wero
fixed tearfully on the bathtub.
"Where's Mary?"
"In dere." He pointed to tho bedroom
"Mary put Jack by-by and she go by-by,
too. She fought me was by-by, too, but
me fooled her."
The little rogue chuckled, nnd Callahan,
muttering savagely to himself, went to
tho door of the bedroom and knocked
loudly.
"Here, you, Mary," he called roughly,
"come out of that!"
I heard a startled exclamation from the
bedroom, and the next Instant a slovenly
looking. girt with a weak face came alowly
out of the room.
"Why. I must have dropped to sleep"
she said foolishly, '
"Do you know what has happened whlla
you dropped to sleep?" demanded Calla
han sternly. "This baby haa been wan
dering around the apartment, opening all
the gaB jets and water faucets he could
find. If this lady hadn't been alarmed
by the water from the bathtub flooding
her kitchen the child would have been dead
when you woke up. If you ever did wnl,
with all that gas escaping. He was Just
illmblng Into the bathtub when wo got
here." .. . ... ..
"Why. Gordon, you naughty boy!" the
girl exclaimed weakly.
"Never mind scolding the baby. He Isryt
to blame? What do you suppose Mrs. Mc
Govern will think "
"Oh. you won't tell her?" Tho grl looked
gPm
Ruffled slip of pink chiffon.
I stitched the klrt to tho bodice nnd
finished the waist line with n glidle of the
ribbon velvet
Clclly mado loops of velvet nnd placed
them nt even Intel Mils nbout ench of the
llounces with the cvirplloti of the first Wo
used compact bunches of the flowers on this
ohe. '
Tho slip forms a fitting background for

the wav. ou won't be able to get iinv
water for u while 1 ve tinned it off, mid
1 in going to keep It off till I've found out
whether there Is anv leak In the pipes any
where Do jou think jou can keep awako
now until your mistress gets back?"
"Oh, ion. Mr Callahan" The girl evi
dently was fully awake "Please don't tell
her."
"Will jou promise never to do u thing
like this again' '
"Oh. jes, Mr "
"All right, then." Callahan returned gruf
fly. "I'll keep quiet this time. Hut the
next time "
Ills tone was tlueatcnlng, and M.ny
wilted visibly beforo It I followed him
out of the npartment vvllli a feeling of
resentment ngalnst his proposed nhietdlng
of the girl Sho had rndangired the lives
of little children bj- her carelessness If I
had been the mother of the chlldien whoso
lives the had Jeopardized 1 should never
lnve forgiven the person who withheld from
me the knowledge of her ciielessness.
"Mr Callahan, do you mean jou nre not
going to tell Mrs McGovern I think jou
called her nbout that mnlds carelessness?"
Mv Indignation had got -the lie Her of
mv tintuinl disinclination to mcdilln with
things tvhlch did not concern me. The Jan
itor Mushed In nn embarrassed fashion as
he nnsweied
"I hale to get a poor girl's Job. ma'am
I'm a working man mvself. unit I don t like
to take the bread and butter out of aiij--bodv's
mouth "
"I understand tint fully.' I returned,
but that girl Is dangeious In that posi
tion "
"I know It. ma'am." Callahan said wor-rledlj-.
"jet I haven't the heart to tell on
her Maybe you'd see Mrs McGovern?"
His tone was Insinuating, but 1 could not
tell from It whether the suggestion con
tained a hidden wish that I denounce the
Blrl or a fear that I might do so
I had opened mv mouth to tell him that
I would seo Mrs McGovern when n sudden
remembrance closed It
Tho humiliating experience I had had
with the woman across tho hall flashed
across my mind In her absence lief maid
had brought her baby to my apartment In
n convulsion Its life had been saved and
the next dnv she hnd,!rtunlly snubbed me
No, tho affair was strictly none of mine
"No, Mr Callahan," I said decidedly,
"I could not possibly think of Interfeilng
In the nffairs of n stranger "
. "Of course, "not " ho agreed quickly
"Good day, ma'am "
Ho touched bis hat and moved nway,
while I went slnnlv to my own apartment.
Mj conscience was troubling me. 1 felt In
some vague wav that I would bo responsi
ble If-through that maid's carelessness In
the future ono of the ehlldren In the anart-
""ment above mo should be Injured.

iinlcFs it he with complete victory to the

' Peace" no talks of peace? ' I heard
a ''neki.cv soldier shout at one of the big
Lonelem terminals oslerelny, 'I'm bad; lo
tho liloomln' Soninic- anil the blasted
trendies and tho mud nnd the cold and,
so 'elp me, theie 1 sticks till weve won

I.oud cheers from the various fcmnle rela

gave him renewiel courage to continue
"And every bloimiln" soldier in the ltrltlsh
arniv backs mo up in this 'ere statement'
Who wants to stand up to the waist In

"What? Peace on (tcnuan terms'' And

nia SUPPLEE MILK won first prizea silver
cup, at Harrisburg last week, with a score of 99
the highest score ever given in any milk contest.

SUPPLEE.
SUPPLEE
old Medal Cream
which is taken from this prize milk, is now
ready for the breakfast tables of those who
appreciate additional richness in table
cream. Containing about 45 per cent more
butterfat than regular cream, SUPPLEE
Gold Medal Cream costs you but a trifle
more. It furnishes the richness so necessary
to cereals; and to coffee it adds that rich,
golden-brown color and fine flavor.
Tell the cook to order SUPPLEE Gold
