THE DAILY NOVELETTE
For a Day
Ry KUHY DOUGLAS
Helen was tired out taking care of
her mother, who had been ill for more
than a year. The other girls in the
family were fortunate enough to have
office positions which paid them suf
ficiently well "to make It unwise for
them to glvo up work to help with the
nursing of their mother.
"It ,isn't that I don't love mother
you know that but sometimes It seems
as it I could not stand it another min
ute. It seems ns If, In her broken men
tal state, mother treats those of us
who care for her most with least con
sideration," sho confided to a friend,
Mary Lindsay, one afternoon when she
had been nblo to get down to tho vil
lage tearoom for an hour's change.
Mary took her young friend's hand
across the table. "Dear, no one knows
better than I do what you aro going
through just now. My own dcar
mother was tho Fame way for nearly
four years, and it was almost Impos
sible to live with her. But can't you
get away for n week? You are thin
and tired and worn out yourself. It
isn't qulto fair."
Helen shook her head. "Mother
wouldn't let me come down here if one
of the neighbors hadn't been in and in
sisted." Mary looked bcrious for a moment.
itin'inwnii ii-- '""""' ' m,MllLmm .m I ' '". " '' " ' '"" " I .
"I will change places with you for a
day ,
"Oh. mother) wouldn't hear of It,"
broke in Helen.
"Leave that to me. I shall bo a
wonderful daughter to her for a day and
a night, and you 'shall go to town to
my dear little studio and forget that
there Is such n thing as responsibility."
In spite of Helen's protests and mis
givings the arrangements were made,
and the following week she found her
self slttlne in one nf Mnrv'ii btr com
fortable chairs In Mary's studio. There
was a table at her side with books
and magazines, a window at her other
side,' thero were things to cat In the
tiny icebox and an electric tea kettle in
which to boll water for her tea.
"It is too good to be real," Helen
Bald, stretching out in the chair and
looking about her.
She could not read for her vivid in
terest in the things outsldo of tho win
dow. It was spring, and a girl oppo
site was planting seeds In a little win
dow box. In another window, a woman
was brushing out n lot of clothes, ap
parently looking for moths. A man In
fddc of an unwashed window sat smok
ing and reading; typewriters clicked
out on tho warm spring air from other
directions.
As she sat thus, looking at a scene
that to her was most interesting, sho
found herself being observed by a young
"man who sat over a drawing board in
a window nearly opposite.
Helen blushed. Why. Bho knew not.
Sho had been staring, perhaps rudely,
and the young man must havo observed
her.
Almost unconsciously she looked
again and this tlmo she knew that she
had teen that face before, She tried to
place him, but only the indistinct vision
of the boy's face came between her
and complete recognition.
Several times during that day of rest
in the quiet, homy studio she found
herself looking at the window where
the young fellow sat drawing. At f
o'clock whefl he dusted off his board and
replaced his linen smock with a coat
and waistcoat, Helen began to be lonely,
She went out for dinner and came
In again to read nnd go to sleep in
Mary's big couch bed. The last face
the saw that night in her se.nl-cou-sviousness
was the faco sbo had eccn
in tho window.
The next morning she nltnost
thought the man smiled a greeting to
her, but sho dared not acknowledgo it
since she had not yet been able to
placo blm among those whom nho knew.
Rested, with somothing else to think
about and with an unformed hope rout
ing to lifo within her again, Helen
reached home that afternoon to find
that her mother was no worse and had
rOally enjoyed tho gay companionship
of Mary Lindsay.
"I'll never bo able to manic you
enough," Helen said after sho had
received a report of her mother's
condition. "It was too wonderful to

be n true place it seemed llko a fairy
land." Sho did not eay anything about
tho man across the court;
"It's teen a rest for n day anyway,
dear, nnd I believe your eyes look
brighter already. We'll try It again,"
was Mary's parting asditranee.
When she uent back to nursing her
mother Helen seemed to find it less
irksomr. The change had done both
her nnd tho patient good.
It was weeks before sho saw Mary
again, nnd when she did he met her
nt tho tearoom where they had met
before.
"I want to tnlk to you alone," Mary
hud said over tho telephone. "It isn't
mi important, but I Just want to hnve
u little fun with you, ut.u it might
annoy your mother, dear. l'our
o'clock.
Helen was waiting for Mary. "Of
course you Know I am crazy with
curiosity," she began.
"And it Is a real tonic jto you jot.
look positively beaming."
They sat down and ordered tea while
Mary aggravailngly tnlked nbout all tho
conventional things she could think of.
"Mnry, you are mean," Helen said
at last.
Mnrv's evei twinkled. "Did you
ever know a boy at the nrt school oufct
in Omaha a boy who studied at the
Fame timo you ma unucr a jur. Wal
lace?" . - ,
. A light of understanding shone forth
in Helen's eyes. Then she blushed n
rosy red and avoided looking at Mary.
"Did you?" persisted Mary, enjoy
ing the girl's confusion and ndmlrlng
her beauty.
"Of course I did and he Is the artist
who sits opposite your studio window
and and stares," admitted Helen.
"He doesn't stare at me," Mary
laughed.
"Then how do you know nbout it?"
"He found mo out and told me all
about it. He saw you for a day and
recognized you ns the little Helen Le
Cron whom he had admired at the Art
school. Your face went to his head ;
he hasn't been able to. think bf any
thing else since. lie wrote me a note
ami I nnked him to come to sec me.
Now If that Isn't romance with a cap
ital H I don't know anything about it.
I shall write him into my next novel."
Helen's blush had become a perma
rent warmth, and the sparkle in icr
ejes was lovely to behold. Secretly shj
had been longing to hear more of the
mnn whose identity had evaded her so
persistently.
Amr and whnt now? ' she asked.
"Howrdo all 'best sellers' end, dear?'
You're to meet him at my studio with
mo for dlnnor whilo one of your Bis
ters takes care of your mother, and
well, I think that Is as far as 1 need
to go, Isn't It?"
"If It weren't right here In the tea
room I'd hug ycu Mary and you know
I'm not tho demonstrative sort, am I?"
"You are not. dcarjtlrl: you keep
yourself all reserved nnr conserved and
repressed until I am afraid you 11 break
down. Now In this romance you'll
find nn outlet and your motber will have
a cheerier nurse."
"She has already, Mary. Kvcn the
faint hope Hint sprang up m my heart
for a day has helped me."
"Muv the result last forever and a
day," Mary said.
Next, complete novelette "Noliody's
Darling." .
