OF INTEREST TO
f THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By VirginiaTerhune Van de Water
CHAPTER I.
(Copyright, 1916, Star C>-
Did any woman ever love terhome i
as she loved hers?
Myra Webb asked herself this ues- j
tion, looking about the firelit iom.
She had been showing all dr; and
was weary. To come back o this
handsome house and to the siround- 1
ings that her soul loved was very,
pleasant. Somehow it was all sweeter
than ever to-day, she mused Yet
she had had this home long ewugh to
get used to it.
She thought back over tlv past—
tho past when, as a girl, Ac had
expected to have to support lerself;
by her pen. When her parent di e( i
within a year of each ot hp" they j
had left her even poorer tt*n she
had feared she would be, lir they
had lived right up to their ncome,
which had not been mop than
rnoush to supply their nesls and
give their daughter a socd educa
tion.
This education had made i possi- !
blc for her to get the po:jion ofj
secretary to a society leaer. In |
her leisure moments she hti writ-!
ten a few short articles, Kmc of s
which she had sold to a hole mag-;
nzine that had paid only i small j
sum for them. She had oC<n won-1
dered since then if she ni&ht not
have made a name for leiself if
she had been forced to 'vrj.e. for j
hep living.
love and Marriage
But love and marriage M come'
to her, so such effort had ben un- j
necessary. Horace Webb hit wooed 1
and won her. She had fillen in;
love entirely and untiervedly. j
Horace's business was fturishing |
even at that stage of his <j-eer. It
had prospered in the yctS3 since
then. For almost twenty pars she!
had lived luxuriously. Tey had
but one living child. Gace wast
now a sophomore at Barard Col- |
lege and doing well. Surclyno wife'
and mother had more to nke her
happy than had she, Myra t\ebb. I
S'et. as she thought oi these!
things, she sighed. Kor #>m? weeks
her intuition had warnd her that
her husband was anxi(«s and per
turbed. One she had 'rtVted hint
what was wrong, but hs answer
had been such as to niak< her feel,
hat he would rather not tfceuss the
matter.
"Business is poor." hi replied
tersely. "I don't want to ..lk about
It. please."
That was his way. I e never
liked to talk of what wtried him'
or lay near his heart. Ffeple who
did not know him though! him cold
ind hard. She knew he wro not. for
in days gone by she had seen deep
nto his nature. Yet w sighed
irain as she wished that ne would
'talk things out" to her.
Enter Grace
The door into the hid opened,
tnd her daughter entered. She was
tall, slender and fair, wifl a quan
tity of soft, light nair tisted into
i coil at the back of her leek. She ;
itid the mother looked strangely
alike in the uncertain firelist.
"Why, mother!" Grace Webb ex
claimed. "Why are you siting here
ai alone in the dark. Hav you had
your tea?"
So," the woman said .onfusedly. '
"I actually forgot to ring for it. I
do not believe that I..iz2> knows J
am in." '

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
I The girl switched on the light, |
! then rang the bell.
"We are ready for tea," she said,
1 with the manner of one accustomed
! to give orders, as the maid appeared.
"You look tired, mother," she ob
served, When the servant had with
drawn. "What's the matter?"
"I've been shopping," Myra told j
her. "And," with a little laugh,
| "I've Ween sitting here thinking
I very hard. That accounts for my
not having noticed that it was after
5 o'clock."
"Anything wrong?" Grace .asked.
"N'o that is—nothing in particu
lar," Myra replied. "I was thinking
of your father, lie looks troubled
i nowadays, don't you think so?"
Xo Questions
"Well, yes. he does," Grace ad
mitted. "I have noticed it, but, of
course, I have asked him no ques
tions."
"Of course," the wife assented.
| She knew that Grace understood
: her father too well to make incon
! venient inquiries.
"Until he's ready to tell you
I what's the matter, you'd best not
! worry," the girl advised succinctly.
"Here's your tea. You'll feel better
; after drinking it. And, for pity's
I sake, don't borrow trouble."
How secure and self-confident
| the child was, the mother thought, as
j slio watched her sipping her tea and
! listening to her talk of college, her
j work, her various interests. She
■ looked the patrician and thoroughbred
I and Myra felt a thrill of pride in her.
■ Sho was a good daughter not
; emotional nor over-demonstrative
: —but a girl upon whom one could
| depend in an emergency. To be i
sure, she had never had a genuine
i emergency to face, but she would j
I be equal to it if one should arise.
Yet why should one arise? thei
: mother argued impatiently with licr
j self. She must be very foolish to be j
• as uneasy as she had been just now. j
She must think of other things. With
!an effort she listened to what her
daughter was saying.
Their l'lans
"Wo must give a luncheon soon for:
Mary Ellett." Grace was telling her.
"I haven't done a thing for her
since her engagement was announced. |
j and it's only decent to pay her some j
especial attention. Let's give her;
something during the Easter holidays, j
mother."
"Certainly." Myra agreed. "There
are several affairs that we must have;
at that time. Easter's almost here, j
so we had best make our plans."
The girl smiled contentedly. "It's
awfully nice, isn't it, to be able to do ,
such things? I know some girls in
my class who arc so poor that they!
never entertain. 1 often think that I ;
have had things almost too easy in
my life. Perhaps I've been spoiled." ;
"Oh, no. dear." the mother pro-'
tested. "You ate not spoiled, only;
' happy." 1
"But T take my happiness for
granted." Grace insisted. "Yet there j
are hundreds of thousands of girls,
who have to take poverty and self-:
denial for granted. I'd hate to
have to do that."
She laughed as she said it. yet
the words echoed in the mother's
mind for hours afterward.

absorbing story of Myra Webb will

Father and Son Travel
Around Rim of U. S. With
Motorcycle and Sidecar
j To discover the wonders of the
\vestern country with their own eyes
William E. and Walter D. Kellogg,
1 father and son, left their home at
I Middletown. X. Y., June 11, last on
a live months' tour with a motorcycle
I and sidecar which has just been com
| pleted. They have in the intervening
i time been in twenty-three States and
one foreign country, visited 750 cities
1 and towns, crossed the country to the
j Pacific coast, went as far south as
| Tia Juana, Mex., traveled north the
! length of t lie coast to Washington and
j returned home by way of the north
erly lake route. Their total mileage
| was over 1*2,000 miles,
j The machine, a 1916 Indian, was
driven by the son, who lias ridden
n. >toreycles for five years, and his
lather rode as a passenger. They car
tied a tent, ponchos, blankets and
complete camping equipment. Through
the West they found the people in
variably hospitable and were offered
the use of front yards to camp in.
In the Rockies they found traces of
the Wild West with cowboys in chaps
and packing guns. ,I'or a week one
time they camped in the lonely desert
with only occasionally passing In
dians and coyotes at night for com
! pany.
I In the course of their trip they were
| sunburned in crossing- the deserts, ran
j into snowstorms in the mountains and
! were wind burned in the closing stages
of their journey home. They forded
rivers on the machine with the car
buretor under water a number of
times. In one day they breakfasted
in Ohio, lunched in Pennsylvania and
had supper in New York. The young
-1 er Kellogg is studying to be an elec
trical engineer and was ready to en
ter school again as soon as the long
1 journey around the edges of the coun
i try was over. _
