wise to let the young man come up
when Warren wasn't there.
Helen came into the room a mo
i ment later.
"I want you to stay here, mother,
then Warren won't have a chance to
disapprove."
i "Are you sure you're doing right,
; Helen?"
Helen looked at her in surprise.
"Why. of course, you know T am not
i doing anything wrong. I haven't a
i thing to do this evening, and why
shouldn't I let the lieutenant come
. up. If Warren had acted as he
' should he would have been here to
help entertain."
Helen's Mother Doesn't I'nderstand
It All
Helen's mother could not under
; stand her daughter's independence,
and yet as she thought of herself
i there was no real reason why Helen
i should not entertain her friends. The
only thing that worried her was the
fact that from the flowers the young
man might be learning to care for
Helen more than he should.
Helen, she knew, had never been
wont to encourage the attention of
any men. She had been shy and dif
fident, and her backwardness had
been the cause of many an argument
on the part of Warren. It wasn't at
all likely that Helen had encouraged
the boy. for he must be young to
have sent the roses in such quanti
ties. The best thing to do about the
matter was to I'top arguing and let
things take their course. Perhaps
there was nothing to worry over after
all.
Helen put on a new gown, a very
i becoming flame-colored taffeta.
As she was arranging the roses the
key clicked in the latch and Warren
came in.
"Hello, dear!" said Helen, going
out to meet him. "Come out to the
diningroom and have your dinner."
"'I had something to eat down
town." And then taking in Helen's
dress, "Why so dressy'.'"
I "I entertained to-day. Have you
I forgotten?"
I "Oh, yes, I remembered that. But
] did you wear that dress this after
inoon? You look as if you had just
| finished making yourself beautiful."
"I have, dear. Don't you notice
I the roses? Aren't they beautiful?
j Guess who sent them?"
Warren looked up suspiciously,
j "Well, who?"
j "Lieutenant Roberts, and he is
coming up to call to-night. Hurry
up and brush up so that you'll look
nice."
Warren scowled and looked as
I though he would refuse to appear,
i but for once Helen's tactful good hu
j mor and lack of questions saved the
day. for he vanished into the bedroom
; with a muttered remark about being
I too tired to dress. Helen was re
i lieved. too, although she wouldn't

In the carriage he could not drive
that contrast from his preoccupied
mind. He felt himself already a bit
Irritated at the lnslstance of Ann
that the tiny cottage, the humble
little home in Los Angeles should
not be sold, that not a stick
of the furniture be changed.
She had insisted It was merely a bit
of sentiment, but the firmness with
which she defended her wish made
him believe it had its birth in for
bodLng for the future.
He flushed hotly as she stumbled
upon her train as they made their j
entrance at the Van Kolphea,' angry
with himself for the Impulse which,
made him seek out the eyes of Olffa'
Drake to flnd whether she had noticed
the silp, more angry to know that he
had smiled with her at his wife's mis
hap. Ann was his wife, the woman
he loved, and no one had the right
to smile at her.
He turned toward her, assisting her
to their hostess, bracing his shoulders
against the gii; ho knew her man
ner occasioned, with a smile upon
his ilpa. And t„en the guilty feeling
came upon him that he was feeling;
the martyr, that he was taking pride
in his attitude of suffering.
In the mortification of the moment
he found btmself offering his arm to
Olga Drake, passing his wife without
a glance. With head high he feigned
not to notice the hurt expression
upon her face as she permitted h«r- i
self to be taken away by a youn*
fledgling.
"I'm afraid we frightened your pcor:
wife," Miss Drake murmured in his
ear.
He looked furtively at Olga Drake
at the note of sympathy in her voice, i
And yet he merely smiled and soughtj
oat his wife with his eyes, dropping'
them more swiftly as they met the
mute appeal in Ann's own eyes. He
was conscious of chattering volubly

about nothing in particular, was awaro
that his face- was burning. For his
wife, the woman he had taken for life,
was staring at him in piteous appeal,
indifferent to the world about her, the
world into which his fame had thrusti
her. And the wife of a milkman she
would remain, considering nothing at!
all save her own comfort, her rijrhti
foot thrust out from her gown, the
slipper that had become uncomfort
able thrust to one side.
He looked at Olga Drake then,
and her eyes were fastened upon the
vagrant slipper, a faint suggestion of
a smile about her lips. Merwin
smothered an oath in his throat.
A farmer's daughter he had mar-j
ried. A milkman's wife he had made
her. And, equally Indifferent to aught
she was one still.
VI.
He paced the library floor nervous
ly, every nerve in his body jangling
discordantly at the chatter of his wife
in the next room, the confusion of herj
undignified romping with the baby.'
Only the night before he had given
a wretched performance, his voice
turning hoarse. Only the night be
fore he had tiffed with Olga Drake,
for the first timo in all the months
during which their intimacy had
grown to such an extent that there
were whispers about it.
First, he had tried to break away
from the spell she cast upon him. But
his work threw him with her set and:
his wife used every subterfuge to avoid
accompanying him to any affair which
might aid him in the social world,
always pleading to be allowed to re
main with the baby.
And now she was late. He looked)
at his watch nervously then whirled;
to the stairs and tapped upon her!

shrill cry of childish laughter of his !

Irritated him.
He was afraid of himself. He

him. Yet he was afraid, needed helpj
and encouragement. His spleen got;
the better of him and he wrenched the ;
door open sharply, Ann stopping short|
her laughter as she looked upon his!
lowering face.
"I forgot again, Henry," she pleaded,
before he had chance to say a word, i
"Please forgive me, but—but I don't
think I help you with these peo- 1
pie—"
"You make no effort to lm-|
prove yourself. You are con-,
stantly doing everything you can
to annoy me. You are ruining'
my voice, clouding my whole career."
"And you don't try to do better.
You don't care for anything but the
vile little hole In Los Angeles. You
want me to be ruined. You want me
to lo«e my voice. You know you do—
you want a milkman because you are
nothing and never will be anything
but fit for a milkman's wife."
He halted suddenly, taking com
mand of himself with an effort. Ann
had crumpled upon the bed.
"But what can r do, Henry? What
do you want me to do?"
"Do?" He laughed, laughed in her
*®ce. "Why, got a divorce, of course.
I'm through. Get it before I'm com
pletely ruined. I'll give you the di
vorce—there'll he no trouble about
that—and fifty thousand dollars."
She regarded him steadilv, search-
Ingly.
"No, there'll be no trouble—about
that." she repeated after him, as he
clammed the door. "No trouble.
Henry."
AX EVENING THOUGHT
I Nothing endures but personal
qualities.—Walt Whitman.
Arrogant with the delightful arro
gance of the artist who haa worked
hard for achievement his eyes sought
those of Olga Drake In her box at the
head of the diamond horseshoe. That
very day Ann had been granted her
interlocutory decree of dlvoroe; that
very day a sensational newspaper had
whispered the name of Miss Drake
In connection with It; that very day
he had boasted to heT that he would
make amends for that; and now—
now, in the first performance of the
widely heralded new opera, he waa
singing as he had never sang before,
singing with the abandonment of on*
from whom all shac«les are broken,
singing as the composer had dreamed
his opera might be some day eung by
a greater singer than the world had

met those of Olga Drake, he caught

with eyes aglow the voice of Merwin
rang out. And then the song died In
mid-air, seemed to halt upon its
course. The singer's hand clutched
at his throat, clutched desperately
there as though by sheer brute
strength he would force out the
sounds that the vocal choree refused
to give. Hie lips opaned and closed,
closed and opened. A mute he ttcod
there, a ludicrous mute, sawing the
air with hi* hands, desperately, wild

A lautfh hurtled from the gallwry,
the laugh that was sufficient to guide
the mob. It grew In volume, grew eo
that in sound penetrated the heavy
curtain aa It slowly descended upon a
wild-eyed, sobbing tenor, who glared
piteously at the back of a laughing
woman In the box at the head of the
diamond horseshoe.
With the re«ady effervescent sym
pathy of the Romance people the Di
rector pillowed the head of his great
"flnd" upon his shoulder. But over
that head his eyes sought those of Dr.
Holbrook, the world's renowned
throat specialist, who had been treat
ing Merwin now for months. And a
hard expression, a look of flint was In
the Director's eyes as the specialist
shook his head to Indicate the death
of another voice.
"It is the fault of the atmosphere,
the early training," coolly declared
the impressajrlo later that evening to
the reporters. "Now, Merwin, wi*.h
the proper, early training would have
proved the greatest tenor of our
time."
VIII.
Ann Merwln's hands still gripped
tightly the newspaper with which she
had fled from her attorney's offloe, the
newspaper whoee startling head had
caught her eye even as her hand re
ceived the final decree of divorce.
There was a wild expression in her
eyes as she lunged through the crowd
ed traffio of the streets toward the ettjr
hospital where the story said Henry
had been taken.
Forgotten the document In her
handbag, forgotten the bitterness with
which he had treated her. She only
remembered that he was the father of
her child, that he was the man ah* haul

object of pity and contempt, a vagrant

waterside where he might have con

place—he was still her husband just
as he always had been.
She did not heed the curious glancea
of the nurses nor the internee as she
demanded admittance to his bedside.
That the story of the celebrity's down
fall, the divorce and attendant scandal
belonged to the world meant nothing
to her. A queen—she demanded the
right to be with her husband In hla
hour of need.

She held her head proudly, deflant
ly as the superlntendant of the hospital
tried to suppress the pity In his look
with which he accepted the money she
had placed upon his desk, when ahe
fled from that ward, fled from that
voice.
"When he is well," she said quietly,
"give him this monev. Say It is from
a—a friend."
"But "
"From—a—friend," she repealed
softly, a faint smile upon her lips.
She rose suddenly for the scent of
roses was in her nostrils, the vision
of far-flung hills In her eyes, with a
tiny white cottage nestling at the foot
of them.
I "Perhaps he may go back," she
murmured to herself, as she left the
place. "Perhaps he may go back—

NEW MILITIA UW
DOW EFFECTIVE
Governor's Troop One of the Last
in Which the Men Will Select
Their Major Officers
Officers and men of the Eighth
Infantry and Governor's Troop have
elected their last officer, with the ex
ception of second lieutenant. The new
military code, passed by the State
Legislature on April 24 of this year,
became effective yesterday, and from
now on colonels, lieutenant colonels,
majors, captains and first lieutenants
of companies will be appointed by the
Governor. Staff captains and lleuten
tenants will, as before, be appointed
by the colonel, with the approval of
the brigade commander.
Formerly the enlisted men of com
panies chose their captains, first and
second lieutenants, while the colonels,
lieutenant colonels and majors were
chosen by vote of the commissioned
officers of the regiments. All of these
now lose their voice In the naming
of officers with the exception of en
listed men of companies for the choice
of second lieutenant.
One important result of the change
In the code making the officers ap
pointive by the Governor, instead of
by election, is that it will throw regi
mental staff positions open to line offi
cers more freely than before. Here
tofore the effect of the necessity to be
elected to an office, for instance,
major, was to keep line officers, the
electors, from desiring staff positions.
It was the practice to elect to field
positions only line officers. Now, a
field officer being an appointive offi
cer may be appointed from any de
partment. Consequently, a man who
becomes a staff officer, it would seem,
would not thereby lose his qualifica
tions for advancement, if he is meri
torious, to a field position—which a
major is.
This apparently will have the ef
i feet to greatly strengthen the per
connel of the staff group. It also
means that regardless of the per
sonal popularity of the line officer. If
he is not meritorious from a military
standpoint, it will be hopeless for
him to aspire to any higher office.
All of which effects are highly bene
ficial to the National Guard and to
the component units in particular.
Another change which goes Into
effect Tuesday morning is that of ex
empting members of the National
Guard during their terms from jury
duty, if the members so desire. Dur
ing encampments, etc., they must ex
empt themselves from jury duty.
The new code reduces the maxi
mum of infantry companies in the
State from 180 to 150, but increases
the maximum for field artillery from
five batteries to one brigade. Cavalry
remains the same, one regiment. Un
der the new act provision is made for
one ammunition train, one sanitary
train and one supply train. None of
these were provided for in the Act of
1911.
The medical corps is increased from
twenty majors and forty captains or
first lieutenants, to twenty-five majors
and eighty captains and first lieuten
ants.
A number of minor changes, of in
terest mainly to the men in service,
are made and in many respects the
new code greatly resembles that of
1911, particularly the parts relating to
discipline, clothing, and other equip
ment.
The election of officers of the Gov
ernor's Troop, conducted by Colonel
John P. Wood, of the First Regiment
of Cavalry, on Thursday, May 27, was
probably the very last in which the
men of a command will choose their
own officers by vote.
A FASHIONABLE FROCK
A New Model with Wide Belt tod
Convenient Pocket.
By MAY~MANTON
8605 Girl's Dress, 6 to 12 year*.
Pockets make a feature of the newest
fashions and they appear upon girls'
dresses as they do upon the skirts of their
elders. Here is a frock that is made
with wide belt upon which a patch pocket
is arranged. It is exceedingly smart, yet
quite simple and eminently child-like in
effect. _ The straight skirt is plaited and
the plain blouse is frilled only at the lower
edge. The sleeves are of the set-in sort
and can be made either long or short.
In the picture, the material is one of
the new cotton Sponges of light weight,
showing line of pale green on a white
back ground, but the model is a good one
for serge and other similar wool materials
and also for the many excellent cottona
and linens that are adapted to girls' wear.
Poplin and cr?pe are especially well liked
and the new rice-cloths are charming and
the tponge illustrated is both serviceable
and fashionable.
For the 10 year size will be required 4
yds. of material 27 in. wide, 3H yds. 36,
2*4, yds. 44 in. wide, with % yd. 27, to*
the trinyning.
The pattern 8605 is cut in sizes from 6
to 12 years. It will be mailed to any ad
