\&o(V)enT^ilnTet^si& / , "Xlieir Married Life Copyright by International Xews Service. The telephone rang, but Helen did move. She was embroidering a of guest dollies for Louise, who was going to start housekeeping as coon as the weather was cool enough, and it seemed as though something were always happening to prevent her from finishing them. Nora came to the door of the liv ing room in a few minutes. "Some one to speak to you, ma'am, a gentleman: he didn't give a name." Helen looked up in surprise; It was out of the ordinary for any one to ring up and not leave a nnm». and a man, well, she would see what was wanted. Perhaps it was some one at the office calling tip for Wa.rren. She left her sewing on the chair and went oxit to the telephone. "Hello, yes, this is Mrs. Curtis; who Is this please?" There was a buzzing on the wire end then a strange voice spoke very quickly. "Don't you know? I 'lave tried to get you on the phone before this, but you were always out. This is Mr. J. Woods Atkinson." There was a silence, while the blood seemed to pour Into Helen's face. It filled her ears so that she could hardly) hear, and for a moment she actu ally felt faint. Ought she to ring off. or would it he better to ask the man why he hounded her as he did? And Phe had thought that everything had blown over. "I don't know any one by that name," she said finally, steadying her voice as she went on. "probably you have the wrong number, or did_ you want to speak to my husband? You'll find him at hls^offlce." This last had been an Inspiration and she waited breathlessly for that voice to reply. "I don't know your husband, Mrs. Turtis, and I'm afraid I don't know 101 just yet, although that Is hardly niy fault. You probably will recall my name if you will stop to think a moment. I wonder if I might call this afternoon." He Begs to See Her for a Few Mo ments The audacity of htm, thought Helen, indignantly. "If you are quite finished I will ring off now," she said Icily, holding the receiver poised and waiting to see what he had to say. "Just a minute," pleaded the voice. "I.et me see you for a few minutes tbs afternoon and I promise not to annoy you any further—that Is, un-| less you are perfectly willing." "Certainly not," said Helen, in wardly raging and hanging the re ceiver up abruptly, but not before that voice had said: "I'm coming, anyway; you'd better S'-e me." Helen sank down on a chair in the hall. What had she ever done to be persecuted in this manner? She was not like other women in this respect, willing to carry off the matter as a Joke. Such a thing never occurred to her as a possible chance for enjoy ment. All her brain was centered upon what Warren would say if he knew. He would be quite sure that she had merited the attractions by some Indiscreet action on her part. She glanced hurriedly at the clock and then rising went back to her seat In the living room. Surely he had not meant what he said, he would never dare to came up after she had told him he couldn't, but if he did what could she do then? In a panic she rushed out into the kitchen. "Nora, if any one should call for me. tell him I am not at home. Un der no circumstances allow any one In. do you hear?" "Yes, ma'am," said Xora obediently, looking at Helen in surprise. Helen v.-as not the kind of woman who be came excited easily, and Nora had never remembered seeing her in just this kind of a mood before. "I'll say that you were called down town, Mrs. Curtis." said the girl, her warm Irish heart going out to Helen In her trouble, and then Helen went back to the living room, her heart in n tumult and her ears alert for the first sound of the bell that would an nounce the arrival of her visitor. That is if he really meant what he said. Perhaps he was trying to frighten her, and did not intend com ing at all, and at the thought Helen drew a breath of relief. And then the persistence of the man again made her reasonably sure that he had meant what he said. Oh. yes, he would come, there was no doubt about it, and Helen sat down to wait for the sound of the bell.

Nora said decidedly: "Mrs. Curtis has gone down town," and then there was a murmur, and Helen heard Nora say, much to her surprise: "Well, I might have r>een mistaken, I'll go and see." Then whoever it was stepped into the hall and Nora came around through the living room and knocked at Helen's door. Helen opened it noiselessly. "It's Mrs. Bob Curtis, ma'am, with a gentleman, and she seemed to want to sre you so badly that I thoilfcht I'd see If you wajited to receive her." Helen gave a sigh of relief. Louise, of course, she would see her. "All right, Nora, that was right: I'll be out there in a very few moments." And Helen turned toward the glass to make herself presentable while Nora showed the guests into the liv ing room. She was glad that Nora had not sent Louise away, although now it would be twice as embarrass ing when the strancer should arrive. On second thought, though, she would tell Louise all about It and get her advice as to how to treat the man. Perhaps she could even have Nora admit him, now that Louise was here to help her. But no, that wouldn't do either. Nora had said there was a man with her. ; As Helen passed Into the living room Louise rose from a chair and kissed her softly. "I see that you decided to be home," she said laughingly, and then, "I want you to meet a cousin of mine, Helen. J. Woods Atkinson." and Helen turned to meet the amused eyes of a very good looking man who bowed and held out his hand. "You won't be cross will you Helen," said Louise pleadingly. "It was Warren we wanted to have the joke on, and 1 thought of telling you. but we thought it would be fun to tease you for a while. Just to see how you would take it, you know." "You certainly just about finished me over the phone," said Mr. J. Woods Atkinson. "I wanted to tell you then that I was just a harmless kind of a relative, but Louise though it would be nicer to come up and meet you." Helen's head was swimming, but over all her other feelings there was a feeling of relief uppermost. Some how the thing had worried her more than she had admitted even to herself, and now that It was a joke it would provide just the necessary punish ment for Warren, who had not be lieved her through the entire affair. "We certainly enjoyed the choco lates," said Helen gamely, "although my husband hated to keep them, 1 can tell you." "How did Warren take It, Helen?" said Louise. "You know, I told Bob about It, and he wasn't a bit in love with the Idea. He promised not to tell, though, and I'd certainly love to see Warren's face when you tell him about it." "Warren will probably laugh about It," said Helen loyally. Not even to Louise would she admit Warren's true conception of the matter. "But 'he name surely puzzled us. Do they call you Woods " turning to the man sud denly. "Nothing more exciting than Jim." he said laughingly. "I hope you'll con sider me one of the family, and call ime that, too." Helen met his admirin'.- with her own eyes brimful of fun. "I suppose I really ought to call you that," she said wickedly, "we have known about each other such a very long time." And then they all laughed, Helen with a gay little air quite foreign to her, but most becom ing, as Louise said afterward. (Another Incident in this story of every day life will appear soon.)

"I was very fond of him! He was at 1 school when 1 was teaching there. 1 But a good death —a soldier's death!" he 6aid. "I'll write to hie mother my- j self." Then the voice of the machine spoke "Who is in command?' "1 am, sir!" said the callow lieuten ant, comlrg np. But the men of the company spoke. "Bert Stratisky!" they roared. It was not according to military eti quette, but military etiquette meant nothing to them now. They were above it in veteran superiority. "Where's fltre.nsky?" demanded the staff-officer. "You're looking at him!" replied Stransky with a benign grin. Seeing that Stransky was only a pri vate, the officer frowned at the anom aly when a lieutenant was present, then emiled in a way that accorded the company parliamentary rights, which he thought that they had fully earned. "Yes, and he gets one of those Iron crosses!" put in Tom Fraginl. "Yes —the first oross for Bert of the Reds!" "And we'll let him make a decern aaarchlst speeches a day!" "Yes, yes!" roared the company. "The ayee have it!" the officer an nounced cheerfully? He lifted hie cap to Marta. With tender regard and grnve reveremce for that company, he took extreme care with his next re mark lest a set of men of such dy namic spirit might repulse him as an Invader. "The lieutenant is in com mand for the present, according to regulations." he proceoo'ed. "You will retire Immediately to positions 48 and 49 A—J by the caatle road. You have done your part. Tonight you sleep I and tomorrow you rest." Sleep; Rett! Y.Tiere had tker heard those words before? Oh, yes, in a distant day before they went to war! Sleep and rest 1 Better far than an Iron cross for every man In the company! They could go now with something warmer in their hearts than consciousness of duty well done; but this time they need not go until their dead as well as their wounded were removed. Feller started to pass around the corner of the bouse; he was confront ed by Marta, who had oome to the end of the veranda. There, within hearing of the eoldiers, the dialogue that fol lowed was low-toned, and It was swift and palpitant with repressed emotion. "Mr. Feller. I saw you at the auto matic. I heard what the wounded pri vate of the Grays said to you and realised how true it was." "He Is a prisoner. He cannot tell." "I feel that I have no right to let you go to your death by a firing squ£.d," she interrupted hurriedly, "and I shall not I For I decide aow not to allow the telephone to remain I" "I"—he looked around at the aoto matlc ravenously and fearsomely ..j_„ "It Is all simply arranged. There ie time for me to use the telephone before the Grays arrive. I shall tell Lanny why you took charge of th gun." "I've changed my mind! Exit gar dener! Enter gunner! I'm going with you!" he cried iu a jubilant voice that arrested the attention of every one on the grounds. CHAPTER XIII. From Brown to Gray. "You, Marta —you are still there!" Lanstron exclaimed in alarm when he heard her voice over the tunnel tele phone. "But safe!" he added in re lief. "Thank God for that! It's a mighty load oft my mind. And your mother?" "Safe, too." "Well, you're through the worst of It. There won't be any more fighting around the house, and certainly West erling will be courteous. But wherf is Gustave?" "Gone!" "Gone!" he repeated dismally. "Wait until you heaT how he went," Marta-said. With all the vividness of her impreesions, a partisan for the mo ment of him and Dellarme, she sketched Feller's part with the auto matic. As he listened, Lar.stron's spirit was twenty again. "I can see him," he said. "It was a full breath of fresh air to the lungs of a suffocating man. I—" Marta was off in Interruption in the full tide of an appeal. "You must —I promised—you must let him have the uniform again!" she begged. "You trust let him keep his automatic. To take it away would be like separating mother and child; !'ke separating Minna from Clarissa E letn." "Betier than an automatic —a bat tery of guns!" replied Lanstron. "This Is where I will use any influence 1 have with Partow for all it is worth. Yes, and he shall have the iron cross. It Is for euch deeds as his that the Iron cross was meant." "Thank you.' she said. "It's worth something to -nak- a man as happy as you will make him. Yes, you are real flesh and blood to ''o <his, Lanny." [To Be Continued] FEEL BAD? HEAD ACHE? ALL IN?
