In Southern Europe and Egypt the Their Married Life \' «» t i Ey MABEL HERBERT URNER j| Warren's remarks as he guzed after i the receding train were most emphatic. They had missed it by less than two | minute*, and there was no other until; morn ins. "Ol*. what shall we do? What shall | we do?" Helen was almost sobbing I as she watched the rear lights of the i 10.45 disappear in the distance. To be stranded on Sunday night in] a small town forty miles from New York, with no trains until morning, •was not a pleasant predicament. Still muttering strong and expressive expletives. Warren strode down the platform to wher • a solitary cabman was watching them expectantly. "Take us to Mr. Baldwin's —George W. Baldwin, in Maple street. Know the place?" The cabman said he did, and War ful of her excited protests that they couldn't go back to Baldwin's. "Where will they put us? Ethel has the spare room —It'll upset the ■whole house! Oh, Warren, can't we go to some hotel?" "Can't go to a hotel without bag gage," grimly. "It's up to Baldwin, anyway. It he hadn't kept us there showing us his blasted old coins, we'd not have missed our train." Helen knew that the Baldwins had Invited them for the day only, be cause they weru not fixed to enter tain any one overnight, and she ■would rather have sat up in the sta tion than to face the embarrassment of returning at this hour. When the cab dr"\v up before the Baldwin • house tlio whole place was dark. Not even in the upper win dows was there any light. "They've all gone to bed! Oh, War ren, we can't git them lip now!" Tlie I'nlnce Hotel "Got a decent hotel here?" Warren demanded of the cabman. "The i'alactfc air, that's where the tiavelln' men stop." "Well, drive us there." Again they rattled on through the dimly-lit streets. "The Palace!" snorted Warren. "You tan tell It's rotten by the name. Every bum town has a Palace Hotel and a Trade Emporium." This time the cab stopped before a three-story frame house, painted a rllngw yellow. Here, too, most of the ■windows were dark. Inside the office was stifling with the odor 01* stale beer that came through the swinging door of the bar. A sleepy night clerk lowered his heels, and re- Kerded them with interest. Warren explained briefly that they liod missed the last train. The clerk shoved forward the register. Taking a key from the key board, he led them VP the brass-bound steps The room he showed them into was J.irge. but low-ceilinged and stuffy.

The path to the Valley of Babyland Only the kingly, kind storks know; If they fly over mountains or wade through fountains No man sees them come or go. But an angel, maybe, who guards some baby, Or a fairy, perhaps, with her magic wand. Brings them straightway to the won derful gateway That leads to Babyland. And there in the Valley of Babyland, Under the mosses and leaves and ferns. Like an unfledged starling, they find the darling storks are much loved and protected. They build their nests in 'Chimneys or In old ruins or church spires. The Father Stork Is devoted to his family and supplies food for the young in the nests, and he and 7 Mother Stork are very careful to keep the birdies in their nests till they are quite strong enough to learn to fly. When they can safely fly they start with their parents to warmer lands. In Holland some people build nests on the house tops to induce the storks to come. People would rather build a new chimney than disturb a stork's nest; and they are considered great good luck to have near, and as almost all people In those lands think large families are a blessing, the belief grew up that having the devoted Stork par ents building nests on the roof brought them the happiness of a large family. Modest parents declare they want to keep their children "innocent" and ignorant of all things pertaining to those subjects just as long as possible; | started out. "See here," Warren thrust his hand ( I into his pocket, "can't you get us a i couple of extra sheets? We've no night I things with us, and we can't sleep in I our clothes." I "I'll see, sir, if the linen room's not I locked." I Helen was gazing critically about the room. There was a bureau with a 1 skimpy towel over its scarred top a washstand with a blue-banded bowl and pitcher, a white iron bed swaying deep- ! ly in the center, a much-staiucd car- , pet, and a square of oilcloth under the j washstand. 1 There was also a brass spittoon, which Helen promptly poked out of sight with Warren's cane. "Dear, 1 couldn't sleep anyway. I'll just loosen my waist and 'ie here on the , couch." "You'll do no such a thing! You'll | go to bed and get some rest so you'll j not be whining around in the morning." Turning down the covers, Helen | scrutinized the bed linen. It was . wretchedly laundered and of such thin, cheap muslin that the soiled dark tick- | ing of the mattress and pillows show ed through. The blanket and red- I flowered comforter were far from clean,, and over all was a dingy white honey combed spread. "Dear, I WON'T sleep in that bed,' I'd rather sit up all night." A knock at the door, and the clerk handed in the two extra sheets. War- I ren, who by this time was partly un dressed, wrapped one around him toga ! fashion. "What's that for?" he demanded, as Helen spread his handkerchief over 1 the pillow when he started to get into bed. "Oh, dear, I don't want you to lie on those pillows." He grunted something about her ' being "too devilish particular," but 1 Helen noticed that he kept the hand kerchief under his head. I "Now, none of that foolishness," as, wrapped in his heavy overcoat, she I started to lie down on the couch. ! I "You'll catch cold there and be sniffing j around all week. Come, get in bed j .! and turn that light out." Helen hesitated, then finally spread j 'Warren's vest, lining up, over her pil-I [low. Having taken off only her waist,' i 1 with the sheet around her bare arms, I I she crept gingerly into bed. The mat- I tress was hard and lumpy, and the! springs creaked dismally. | She had turned down the gas as low ,as she could without turning It out,; L leaving the room in shadowy darkness, i . with a foint circle of light on tho ceil-j i ing above the gas jet. Helen had been thirsty ever since they left the Baldwinsj but the ex citing events had kept it a subcon-1 I scious thirst. Now her throat felt For whom the heart of a mother yearns; And they lift him lightly and snug him tightly In feathers soft as a lady's hand; And off with a rockaway step they walk away Out of Babyland. As they go from the Valley of Baby land Forth into the world of great un rest, Sometimes in weeping he wakes from sleeping Before he reaches the mother's breast Ah, how she blesses him, how she ca resses him, Bonniest bird in the bright home band That o'er land and water the kind stork brought her. From far-off Babyland. and many a proud mother is heard declaring her daughter of seventeen was as innocent as a babe unborn when she went to the alttir a bride. But such innocence is criminal on the part of the parent. Besides, it is seldom true. The mother Is deceived. Few children go through one pri mary term in public school and re main ignorant of these subjects. But their knowledge is gained from low sources usually, and their minds are tarnished by having to receive the in struction in a vulgar or unwholesome manner. It is the mother's place to talk to her children and to tell them Just as many of life's great truths as their jyoung minds can assimilate, and then ! to impress upon them the dignity and good form of silence on these subjects. When a mother makes her child a confidant in this way she wraps it about with a mantle of purity and protection which no rude hand carfi tear away. parched. The demand for water way imperative. Knowing that Warren was in no I mood to be aroused, shu waited until 1 his breathing told her lie was asleep. .Then she sat up and felt for her shoes, at the edge of the bed. Not even in her stockings would she step out on that carpet. She turned up the light, but there was no drinking water in the room. She took off the two clammy grayish white towels that were folded over the wash pitcher, but she could not drink ■ that water. Throwing ofT the sheet, she clipped on her long coat and crept out in the ,hall. From the top of the sta'rs she : peered down. The clerk was asleep In I his chair. There was a water cooler | over by the door. Her consuming thir=t gave her cour 'age, and noiselessly she stole down the steps. Reassured bv the clerk's heavy breathing, she reached the cooler only I to find there was no glass. The dining pom adjoined the office. ,It was dark, but she could see the ■ shadowy white of the tables, and the reflection of some glassware on a mir rored sideboard. An Accident She was starting back to the cooler , when she ran against u ( hair, trippei I fell and glass crashed to the floor | For a moment she was too terrified ito move. Then as she struggled to her I feet, the night clerk rshed in. I "Who's there?" angrily. "What're .you up to?" I He caught Helen by the shoulder | an dragged her, speechless with fright, to the light. I "Great guns!" ns lie released her and .stared at her stunefled.

You were upstairs there half an hour pow dering your nose. That's why we're in this blooming niace!" There was certainly some excuse for V\ arren's irritaMlity. and Helen tried not to mind the injustice of It being vented unon her. Again she turned down the gas and crept shrlnkingly Into bed. Carefully sh» pulled up the sheet, so the blanket would not touch her. The faint frag rance of olgars from Warren's vest, which she had spread over the pillow helped dispel the musty odor of the bed clothes. For a If, n* time she lay watching the circle of light on the ceiling above | the gas jet. j She was dreading the morning, I dreading Warren's increased Irrlta i ..

It is a constant Inquiry from pupils "How often shall I shampoo my head?" There Is only one answer to this, "As of n as it is necessary to keep it clean." j This depends on where you live, whether j your hair is exposed to much soot or dust i and whether your scalp is subject to i dandruff or over-olllness. Neglected hair I needs a shampoo more often than hair that Is carefully aired and brushed every , day. In short, the hair and scalp should i be kept perfectly clean by daily brushing, ' airing, scalp friction and by a shampoo i whenever it is necessary. When a Shampoo It Harmful. j A shampoo can only be harmful when 11 i Is Improperly done. ■ Don't use a shampoo mixture of which you know nothing; it may contain some strong alkali which, while it will "cut the dirt" may break and dry the hair and have even a more disastrous effect on the scalp. No mat ter what shampoo you use rinse it well out of the hair. Soap left in the hair or on the scalp will work harm. Remem ber also not to rub the cake of soap di rectly on the hair, for the hairs are grooved and soap applied in this way may get Into these grooves and remain. A good shampoo mixture can be made by shaving enough good soap Into two cups of boiling water to make a sehii-llquid; j •tlr in a teaspoon of powdered borax. j To be continued, ________ ; Get MJiIEROLE To-day Por Lun bago!
