"And for pity's sake be ready on time," Warren had said as he left that morning:. Their machine had been repaired and Warren hud suggested a trip up through the Berksliires. "We had better start before it gets too cold," he had said when he had announced to Helen that the car was finished. "I have been planning a trip all Fall." "llow nice, dear: the hills must be beautiful now," Helen had said en thusiastically, with never a remark about the car, and never a sugges tion that she remembered all that had happened. Whether Warren did or not remains to be seen, but suffice it to say he kissed her rather more tenderly than usual when he left —in the man's calendar of right and wrong a sure panacea for wounded souls. They were to start that afternoon and at noon Helen had the two bags all packed and was ready to take her bath and dress. This time she was determined that nothing would Jiappen to delay Warren a minute. The door bell rang and she went herself to open it. It was Warren. "Have you seen anything of those tubes?" he inquired crossly. "What tubes, dear?" "Those lnper tubes." Warren was rummaging meanwhile in the hall closet and emerged a few minutes Jater with two dirty tubes in his hand. "Will you be home to lunch, War ren ?" called Helen from her bed room. "No, I just came back for these. 1 guess there won't be any lunch for me to-day. Too many things to think of." "I'll keep something for you, shall I?" "No, don't bother, I won't have lime to eat anything," and the door slammed. Helen went on with her dressing and at. 12 o'clock called Winifred and went in to lunch. After lunch she dressed leisurely, and was ready to leave when ihe telephone rang. Warren's Mother lis Suddenly Taken 111. "Hello, who Is it?" she said going to the telephone. "Is this you, Helen?" "Yes; who Is this, Carrie?" Helen's heart sank and she swallowed ner vously. Carrie never called up un less something disagreeable was siliout to happen. "Is anything wrong?" she contin ued as naturally as possible. "Warren's mother is very sick, Helen. You'd better tell him to come up right away." Helen was shocked at the news. Much as she detested old Mrs. Cur tis, she felt dreadfully for Warren in a case of this kind. "Oh, what is it, Carrie? It must be very sudden." "Yes, it is sudden; she has had a cold and was taken with a fever last night. The doctor pronounced it pneumonia, and she is very weak." "I'll call up Warren right away, Carrie, and we will both be up as soon as we can get there." Helen hung up the receiver and then called Warren's number. Mr. Curtis was not at his office, said the new stenographer. He had gone out to the garage, about an hour ago. Yes, Mrs. Curtis might be able to get him there.

Suppose you were in a house that was filled with smoke, boys," said Uncle Harry, "and in every room you visited you found the smoke even blacker and heaver than in the room you had just left, what would you wish for most?" "To get into a room where there wasn't any smoke," said Jimmy. "Or better still to get out of the house and into the street, where there was plenty of fresh air and sunshine," said Joe. "Your answer, Jimmy, is fair, but your's Joe, gets a 100 mark," said Uncle Harry, "and boys, that's just the way [ felt the other day when I read in the newspapers about a certain man who has come back to the United States from Europe. Tlie whole world Is praising him and every boy and girl and every man and woman in our country ouglti to be proud of him, for he Is a real hero." "Was he a soldier and did he hold a trench against a whole company of other soldiers?" asked Jimmy. "Boys, this man hasn't killed or even wounded a single person," said Uncle Harry. "He hasn't led any charges and he hasn't been decorated with any medals, but he has shown himself to be a genuine, full-sized man; kind hearted and strong, and capable of working and helping thousands of men, women and children who have suffered as few people have suffered since the beginning of the world." "Who is this man?" asked Joe. "He is Brand Whitlock, United States Minister to Belgium," said Uncle Harry. "He has come back to this country for a short vacation and rest, for he has been working so hard since the begin ning of the war, that his health has been very much weakened. He will call on President Wilson, and then visit his mother, and later go to his home city of Toledo, Ohio, where he was elected mayor time after time, because the peo ple of that city knew, just as the whole world now knows, that he was the kind of a man most needed in public work." "Is Mr. Wliitlock going back to Bel gium?" asked Jimmy. "He expects to, soon after Christmas," said Uncle Hnrry. "But there's something I don't un derstand," said Joe. "What is it?" said Uncle Harry. "Tell me and maybe I can explain it to you." "Belgium isn't really a Belgian coun try any more, is it?" asked Joe. "Oh, I see what you mean," said Uncle Harry. "The country—that is, the cities and the farms and those of the people who haven't been killed or who are not in the army, and every thing of that sort—is still there, but the German army now occupies and controls all of Belgium except a tiny part of the territory in the western corner." "Well then if Belgium is controlled by Germany how can the United State's have a minister to Belgium?" said Jim my. "Right now Belgium is a German pos session," said Uncle Harry "Whether it will remain a part of Germany will probably depend on whether Germany wins or loses the war. But even if Ger many wins, or peace is agreed upon before either side is completely crushed, Belgium may be restored to the Belgian people, for the Allies have captured BABY TURNS OUT TO BE THREE Father I .earns of Triplets' Birth by Arithmetical Progression Hempstead, L. T., Dec. lti.—Herman Pels, superintendent of the Belmont Park racetrack, was gazing sadly at. the snow-covered oval yesterday and thinking of the woes of a racetrack man in the winter, when the eldest of his four children bounced over to him and chortled: "Papa, I've got a little sister." Pels came out of his gloom and beamed and started for the houso on the run. When he got half way there another of his young hopefuls trotted up and murmured: "Papa, we've got two little sisters." Pels ran faster, but before he got in the door it opened and the nurse met him with a smile and the words: "Mr. Pels, there are three, and the last is a son." Mr. Pels is very happy. Not even the snow bothers htm now. WIMD WEB ST. P\UIJ GIRL Reading, Pa., Dec. 16.—Announce ment is made here of the engagement of John E. Barbey. son of John Bar bey, Reading's millionaire brewer, and Miss Mary Glyde Griggs, daugh ter of C. Milton Griggs of St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Barbey is a graduate of Yale and is vice-president and gen eral manager of the Berkshire Silk Mills here. practically all of Germany's colonies in Africa and Germany may be glad to give back Belgium tor some of these colonies. "But the point about Minister Whit lock is that he was (lie United States representative at Brussels, the capital of Belgium, when the German army invaded and captured the country. You can see that under these peculiar cir cumstances he had to be very careful how he acted. But lie has been so suc cessful in looking after American inter ests in Belgium, and in helping in the work of giving relief—food and cloth ing—to tlie Belgium families whose homes were destroyed in the war, that he has won the praise and respect of the Belgian people, the Belgian King, and the officers and soldiers of the German army. In fact, every nation in Europe, including all the lighting countries, look upon Mr. Wliitlock as one of their best friends. "Why only a few days ago I read in one ol' the newspapers a statement from a man who has been in Belgium almost, since the beginning of the war, to the effect that Mr. Wliitlock had undoubt edly saved the city of Brussels from de struction, When the German army en tered Belgium several of the cities re sisted and taefore tho attacks were over those cities had been all but completely destroyed. As the German army drew near t<> Brussels the Belgian officials wanted to tight. This man that I speak of, says that Minister Whitlock. know ing" the strength of the invading German army, and wishing to save the lives and me line buildings that would un doubtedly be destroyed, persuaded the Belgian officials not to attempt to re sist the Germans. So the Belgian army marched in, and the lives of all the peo ple in Brussels and their homes and buildings were saved. The King of the Belgians knew that his people and country would have lost more than they could have gained from trying to de fend Brussels and so he thanked Mr. Whitlock for Ills advice. "This was only one of the many, many things that Mr. Whitlock has done to help people and save lives since the be ginning of the war. He has worked hard every day and night. He is the 'fresh air and sunshine' that I spoke of when 1 began talking to you, and all the other war news of the millions of men who have been killed and wounded and the cities and homes that have been destroyed are the 'rooms filled with black smoke.' " Uncle Harry was getting ready to go home when he turned to the boys and said: "1 can't really speak of anything in Mr. Whitlock s experience as being 'funny' and yet I smile whenever I think of liim. You know, boys, Mr. Whit lock used to be a newspaper reporter before he was a lawyer and Mayor of Toledo, and he has written many short DECEMBER 16, 19T5.
