All night she had sat at the bedside of old Mrs. Curtis, who had died early that morning. Eyer since she and Warren had arrived the reigns of gov ernment had been handed over to Helen. Carrie had lost control of herself and could do nothing. All the caustic element usually so paramount in her make-up had disappeared for the time, and she obeyed Helen's slightest commands unquestionably.. The doctor had not left the bed side of the patient. A nurse had been summoned, but Helen had been the mainstay of the family. It had been Helen this and Helen that. War ren felt the blow keenly and warm hearted, impetuous Bob had broken down like a child and at the last had sobbed audibly. Old Mts. Curtis had not fully re covered consciousness. She had sunk Into a coma and her struggling for breath had been the sign that she lived at all. Ile doctor had said that she was too old to battle with an at tack of pneumonia as sharp as the one that had struck her and that the tight had been a short one. Helen knew that, although her body was tired and she was so sleepy, that her eyes remained open through main force only, there would be enough to do about the house. Carrie seemed to have no volition at all. The white capped silent footed nurse had led her away at daybreak and as Helen paused a moment at Carrie's door she heard her audible sobbing. Then she went in. Carrie Takes Advice and Falls Asleep "Carrie," she said softly, "you must try to get some sleep. Please don't cry like this, think of Fred and little Roy." "You don't know," Carrie muttered, turning over, "wait till it strikes you, then you'll understand." Helen heard this with a sharp stab of pain. Her own mother had years to live, death seemed impossible when thought of in connection with her. The nurse passed down the hall as Helen hesitated uncertain as to what to do. She stopped when she saw the door ajar and then knocked and came In. Helen turned and clasped her hands impulsively. Carrie was still sobbing, her should ers heaving and her breath coming in tearless gasps. "Can't you give her something," said Helen softly. The nurse nodded. "You sit by her a minute," whispered. "I'll be right back." Helen sat by the bedside and in a few minutes the nurse returned. She held a glass filled with a trans parent liquid In her hand. "Drink this," she said soothingly, bending over Carrie and lifting her up with a practised hand. Carrie pushed the glass away. "But you must drink." persisted the nurse, "and get some rest. You will be needed, and if your nerves go URIC ACID SOLVENT 50 Cent Bottle (32 Doses.)

The nurse low ered her to the pillow and Helen slipped a hand Into the feverish one that lay on the spread. Slowly the convulsive sobbing ceas ed and at last Carrie slept with a line of pain showing between her eyes. "You needn't stay here any longer now," whispered the nurse. "She will sleep for some time now, and the lit tle boy needs you." Helen rose and followed the nurse out of the room. "Where Is my hus band," she whispered. "He's all right," said the nurse practically. "They are all downstairs in the dlningroom. You'd better come down and get a cup of coffee to steady you. At least, after you have seen the baby." "How did he happen to wake up?" questioned Helen, as she followed the nurse to the room where little Roy slept. "X gruess the poor child hasn't slept much with all the running about and the unaccustomed noise." "I want my mamma," wailed Roy as Helen opened the door and went into the room. "Mother is asleep, now, dear," she said tenderly, coming over and tak ing him up on her lap. "Aunt Helen will tell you a story." Helen Put tlie Idttle Roy Into His Bed Roy was generally only too glad to hear one of Helen's famous stories and Helen recalled suddenly how old Mrs. Curtis had said that they were bad for the boy, filling his head with I tommyrot, she had said viciously. Helen stifled a sigh. Well, Mrs. Cur tis was dead, there was no need of recalling unpleasant happenings of the past. She would never again ob ject to anything that she, Helen, might do. "I don't want a story." said Roy. His eyes were heavy and his cheeks were wet with tears. Poor little fel low, he was worn out. "I want my mamma," he screamed. "Where is she. where's grandma?" "Listen, Roy," said Helen, a little note of command in her voice. She motioned with her hand for the nurse to leave her alone with the child. "Mother will come to you later after she has had a nap. Why don't you take a nap, too? Then you'll be all bright when she wakes up." And Helen began a song, a little crooning melody with a refrain that was partly a hum. Slowly Roy's eye lids drooped, and when Helen had sung the refrain twice over, the weary child was asleep. She carried him over to the tiny rumpled bed, and put him down. Then J she lowered the shades and tiptoed | out. Warren met her in the hall and without a word she went to him and he took her in his arms. It was good to feel him holding her cjpsely, she j felt very near and dear to him just i then. (Another incident in this interesting ! tale will appear here soon.) Impersonations Will Be Limited at Yale New Haven, Conn., Dec. 13.—Mem bers of the Yale Dramatic Association i who take part in plays given by that) organization will be restricted in their I impersonation of female characters to 1 a period of one year, according to a ; •decision announced to-day by Fred- j erlck S. Jones, dean of Yale College. | The action is taken to avoid any pos- ; sible effeminacy which might result ; from a continued impersonation of 1 fetnale characters, and it was taken by the dean as a result of a decision . by the special advisory committee of the faculty. Dean Jones took occasion to deny that he had come to a decision as a re sult of a conference with a New York I specialist, who advised him that con tinued female impersonations would : make the men effeminate. The new ruling will have no effect on the cast of the Yale Dramatic As sociation for the coming Christmas performances, but will be put into ef fect next year.

TO MAKE TRAMPS WORK Special to The Telegraph I Lewlsburg, Pa., Dec. 13. Sheriff | John Hackenberg has Inaugurated a ; plan that will likely cause tramps and I freight riders to give Lewlsburg a wide i berth In the future.

Every winter the I county Jail is filled with tramps and I freight riders, who violate some trifling J law in order to get a winter's boarding ' without work. To break this up the l sheriff Is going to try the street sweep |ing plan, untl this week formed his i eighteen prisoners Into gangs of six > under Deputies William S. McCall and !

AN EXCEPTIONAL MODEL WHICH CAN BE PUT TO MANY USES The Patterns for these Designs Besides Allowing for All Seams, Give the True Basting Line and show Diagrams for Cutting and Making. (// " ~ 8866 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Coat for Misses and Small Women, l6and 18 years. 8628 Two or Three-Piece Skirt fot Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18 years. Girls and small women who are on the outlook for a good model for the smart winter suit will be sure to welcome this one. It includes very new features, it is absolutely chic and at the same time, it is so simple that it can be made at home without trouble. The coat is really a loose one. Here, it is made with shaped front edge and is laid in plaits that are held in place by means of a belt, but if a simpler coat is wanted, it can be cut off straight at the front edge and made without the plaits to become much sim plified and to suggest a box coat. The skirt is a semi-circular one, always easy to make, always graceful and attractive. In the picture, the material is one of the new velvet-finished cloths and the trim ming is fur that seems to be almost uni versal, but the model could be copied in any seasonable material and with collar and cuffs of velvet or of handsome fur plush in place of the fur, while the edge of the skirt and the edge of the coat are finished with braid, with banding or in any way that may suit the fancy. For the 16 year size the coat, will re quire, 3 % yds. of material 36 in. wide, yds. 44, 2}4 yds. 54 in. wide with 2)4 yds. of fur banding for the!ower edge and 1% yds. for the collar and cuffs; ior the skirt will be needed, 3% yds. of material 36 in. wide, 2 Yi yds. 4<j. or 54 in. wide with 2% yds. of fur banding.
