"What are you doing?" Warren i
(juestioned harshly as he awoke in |
what he supposed was the middle of I
the night and saw a light in the hall.
Helen did not answer for a mo
ment, for the door was partly closed '
*nd she did not hear Warren clearly. I
Besides, she felt cross and irritable \
nd half sick, and the very fact that
Warren was questioning her right to j
be up annoyed her. Her throat was |
sore and her chest was congested, so |
that she could not breathe. She won-|
dered if she were going to be sick. |
and as she snapped off the light she
coughed heavily.
"What do you want. Warren? I was I
fixing my throat and couldn't hear
you."
"Have you a sore throat?" Warren i
Queried.
"Yes, I think I have taken a bad!
cold," Helen returned, creeping shtv- ]
eringly into bed. She threw her bath-I
robe over the chair, in case she would!
need it again, and then tried to com-j
pose herself.
"That conies of wearing the fool)
clothes that you do," Miiarren said,
now thoroughly awake and evidently
desirous of talking.
Every year Helen and Warren had'
the same argument about proper;
clothing. Helen wore no heavy
fclothes and rarely took cold. Helen's!
sheer waists always drew forth;
comments from him, but as a gen- j
eral rule she was always well, so that j
Warren really did not have much to '
back up his complaints.
"I know just when I caught the:
cold," Helen returned a little wear-1
Sly.' She had lain awake a long time j
and was very tired. "It was when I i
got warm to-day."
"If you had had some warm cloth- j
ing on. that wouldn't have hap
pened," Warren declared.
"It might have happened to any-,
one," Helen said turning over rest- i
lessly and closing her eyes.
"Of course I couldn't expect you j
to listen to me," Warren said, and'
then there was silence. Helen tossed
around a little bit and finally}
dropped into a heavy sleep. When |
she awoke again it was morning, her
chest felt heavy, and she was alto- j
gether miserable.
"Warren," she said, touching him j
on the shoulder, "I really am sick.]
<iear, I don't know whether I feel|
well enough to get up."
Warren raised himself 011 one;
elbow, real concern visible on his
face. "Is it your cold?" i

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
1 "Yes, I feel so strange on my
| chest, I can hardly breathe. Don't
j look like that, dear, it isn't any-
I thing dangerous, because I haven't
I any pain. What worries me is that
i I have no idea what time Nora will
I get here this morning, and I am
anxious about your breakfast. It's
Saturday, so Winifred won't have to
!go to school, but 1 told Nora not to
j get here early this morning, and that
II would get breakfast."
"Don't worry about anything,"
j Warren said, springing out of bed.
i "The first thing is to send for
| a doctor."
j "No. Warren, please ' don't, not
i yet. Why, I couldn't see a doctor
with everything at sixes and seven
j like this "
"Don't be a fool," Warren said
| briskly, certain that lie was doing
the right thing. "I suppose if you
j were dying you wouldn't have the
■ doctor before the room was picked
tip."
{ Helen felt too ill to mind War
ren's sarcasm, and she smiled a
little.. "But I'm not dying," she pro
| tested, "and I am going to get up
I and fix things if you telephone for
a doctor, really I am."
j Warren paused in the act of hur-
I rying out to the telephone, and Helen
! wondered if he were contemplating
j holding her in bed by force. He
| looked angry enough, and she did
i feel so miserable that, after all, 110 t
h! ing seemed to matter very much. At
1 that moment there was a ring at the
| bell, and Warren turned to answer
the door. Outside stood Nora, her
fresh face wreathed in smiles. Helen
' heard her from the bedroom and
1 sighed happily. Now that Nora was
here everything would be all right.
| "Nora," she called weakly, "come
in here, will you? How did you hap
| pen to come, after all .'"
| "I don't know, ma'am," Nora re
sponded, "I jest felt good this niorn
ing, and so 1 had me own work done
and I thought I might as well come
} right over. Are you sick, ma'am?"
1 "I do feel dreadfully, Nora, and Mr.
Curtis is telephoning for the doctor.
I If you will just get the room in or
! der and then get. his breakfast, every
thing will be tine. I have caught a
I bad cold."
I "Well. 1 hope the doctor will find
you up all right," Warren said,
1 stooping to kiss her.

SWINDLER WORKS
HIS GAME TWICE
Successively Impersonates Two
Different Men and Gets
"Carfare Home"
Impersonating successively William
Kenn, of Sunbury and John Brown, of
Philipsburg, a man succeeded In
swindling the price of a fare to both
places, first from John Shindel, 930
Grand street, and then from the As
sociated Aids Societies.
On the evening of December 17,
a poorly dressed man, carrying a
crutch knocked at Mr. Shindel's
home, and asked for something to eal.
Shindel urged him lo have supper
with (he family, meanwhile searching
his memory in an endeavor to place
the face of the stranger that seemed
strangely familiar. Finally he asked,
"Aren't you William ltenn, of Sun
bury?" A moment only the stranger
hesitated and then evidently very
much abashed, he shamefacedly
answered, "Yes, T am ftenn, but don't
allow my people in Sunbury to dis
cover that I am down and out."
Shindel later bought the down
and-outer a ticke tfor Sunbury, where
his parents live, but saw him in town
two days later. Last Friday Shindel
went, to Sunbury and discovered the
wayward son had not returned home.
He told the story to a brother, John
Uenn, who came to Harrisburg to try
to locate William whom he had be
lieved to be in Cleveland, Ohio. In
vestigation proved that the real John
Kenn was not in Cleveland, and the
man that impersonated him, had
"put one over."
Friday morning the same swindler
applied at the Associated Aid So
cieties for a ticket to l'hillipsburg
saying that his name was John Hrown,
Jr., and that his father, John Brown,
was a resident of that town. He told
a pitiful story to the effect that he
had been a patient in the Hagerstown
hospital and had been sent away from
the hospital before he was able to
walk. On the O. K. of the Chief of
Police, of Philipsburg, but later on it
was learned that he was not really
John Brown.
Who is John Brown? and who is
William Renn? These are the ques
tions puzzling (he police and how
does he get such a detailed knowl
edge of folks?

HOW MISS SUTTER
SAVED HER HAIR
WITH CUTICURA
"I was troubled with dandruff and
otirning and itching of my head. My
scalp was very sore so that 1 could not
touch it, and the itching was so terrible
I could not sleep, and 1 irritated my
scalp by scratching. My hair was thin,
lifeless and dry and came out in hand
fuls. I was afraid of combing it, and
when I did my clothing was white with
dandruff which fell like snow. I was
ashamed to go out.
"I had the trouble three or four
years. Then Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment were recommended to me. After
the second application I felt much bet
ter, and in two or three weeks 1 lost
the burning and itching and my hair
stopped coining out. 1 was healed."
(Signed) Miss A. Sutter, 809 Frank St.,
McKees Rocks, Pa., April 10, 1916.
The majority of skin and scalp t roubles

Soap, and no other, for all toilet pur
poses. On the slightest sign of redness,

Express Train Hits
Electric Truck at Depot
Unable to decide whether to go for
ward or backward in the path of the
Keystone Express almost proved fatal
for a young manipulator of one of the
new electric trucks at the Pennsylva
nia depot this morning. Ha attempted
to cross the tracks before he noticed
the express bearing down upon him.
A momentary indecision proved very
destructive to the truck that was
hurled a distance of thirty feet by the
engine. The driver of the truck, not
being a sea captain under focus of a
movie machine decided not to stick to
the ship, thus saving his life.

! CORNS LIFT OUT !
j WITH FINGERS |
You simply sav to the drug store
man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce
of freezone." This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from one's feet.
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn should relieve the sore
ness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted out with the fingers.
This new way to rid one's feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that, while freezone is
sticky, it dries in a moment, and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whittling at his corns,
but clip this out and make him try
It.
