Just a little while after Jim and
I arrived at home and had welcomed]
brother Xeal, Evelyn and Sheldou!
Blake dropped in to solve the mys- j
tcry of my sudden disappearance!
from the luncheon at the Santvoort. j
I insisted on making my apology;
substantial, and on substituting a;
cozy little picnic supper for the;
luncheon I had deserted so shame-;
lessly.
We had a joJly time and Snelden
congratulated Jim warmly on his
escape from "the gang," as he called
them. I waited breathlessly for him!
to suggest some other position for]
Jim, since I knew that he himself
was down ir> "the 'Street," but the,
suggestion did not come and Jim >
made no effort to invite it.
As they were leaving. Evvy gave,
me a startling bit of information:)
"Tommy has gone to his Adirondack
camp for a month. He was sorrv
not to say good-by—but you wtnt
chasing off so fast. Anne dear!" said
Evelyn. "However, we'll all forgive
you, because you saved our dear, im- j
practical Jim and bobbed up serenely
at the end of the day with this nice,!
new man."
Xeal beamed. Xot very many ree->

THURSDAY EVENING
tucked him In cosily on the big
couch in our llvlngroom, was:
"Harrison's friends sure are hum
dingers. That little Mason girl has
it all over every other girl I ever
saw."
Jim laughed good-naturedly when
I told him. I felt his mirth boded
well for a protecting friendship
with my beloved Xeal —still a child
at twenty-two."
But in the morning I found my
husband inclined to grumble a bit
over the visitor, who was still slum
bering peacefully and whose pres
ence in the Uvingroom made me sug
gest that we breakfast in our bed
room and let Xeal have his sleep out.
Jim was nervous and jnoody dur
ing breakfasts Remote and distrait
one moment, he would Jerk himself
back to an effort at friendly
attentivenessr® minute later. X
thought he <f"9B angry about break
fasting in the bedropm, but after a
few nervous efforts to say something
my husband at* last blurted out:
"Anne, have you a little money
you could—lend me?"
My heart sank. I had paid all my
bills the night before, when I went
out to buy the extra for our "com
pany" supper. And at that moment
there was only a little change in my
purse.
"I've only about a dollar, dear." I
acknowledged.
"Only a dollar? Why, Anne,
what's become of tne money I gave
you a couple of days ago?"
At that it seemed as if my blood
drained away from my heart in a
flood and then went pounding up to
my head in a hideous, warm gush.
Was my Jim the sort of man to call
his wife to account for every cent,
she spent? It didn't seem consist
ent with his generosity. I tried to]
keep my voice steady as I answered: j
"You gave me $3O ten days ago.
I tried to make it last—but foqd and
ice, and gas and the laundry, and 1
shoes, and yesterday the taxi and"—
But Jim interrupted:
"Why, sweetheart—don't go on—
cataloging like that! Bo jou think
I want an accounting? What wor
ries me is that I didn't realize you
were—6tonv broke, and that you did
not ask for more when y*>u were
down to bedrock. Only a dollar ir,
my wife's purse—and Dicky Rovce
has hundreds to —fling— at Sally. My
Anne —with only a dollar!"
He fumbled in his hip pocket—
and found nothing. In'startled un
belief, he turned it inside out. It
was empty. From his vest he drew
some change. Then, in a sort of
panic, he began fishing in all parts
of his clothes. Meagerly—one at a
time—he drew out four $1 bills. His
lips tightened, but he contrived a
rueful little smile and a casual tone
as he murmured:
"I must go to the bank."
And as I remembered the great
roll of bills he had drawn from his
now empty hip pocket only ten days
before, a sudden chilly doubt as
sailed me—how long could Jim get
money from a bank Into which he
was putting none?
"Here, dear, we'll share, and share
alike." he said, offering me three of
the bills.
"Oh. I don't need it, deer. I've

any sudden call, Xeal would let me

Jim's face darkened.
"Anne, you don't mea nthat—so* I
won't let it hurt me. I can't have
you borrowing from that boy. Take
these."
He tried to put three of the bills
I into my hand, but I shook my heud
! in earnest protest and fairly snatched
Imy hand away. Finally, when I saw
[.that it hurt him to have me refuse,]
I accepted two of the btlls.
"Babbsie!—Sister! Come on give
a fellow a good morning kiss!"!
Cume Xeal'3 voice through the door, i
"I wish that boy wouldn't call you'
Babbsie," Jim said, irritably—but Jj
knew that this was only an outlet
for the unhappiness it had caused
' him to have me see how little money;
| ho had.
Xeal grinned up at me with the
I same warm-hearted affection he had
| shown back in the days when he was
1 a toddling four-year-old and I was
| "big sister Babbsie" all of eight and
lin the dignified third grade .at
{ school. )
"Hello, Sis —do you still kiss a fel
; low before his face is washed?"
j cried Xeal gaily.
I sat down on the couch by his
j side and buried my face in the way
j ward curls that hadn't yet been
■ sm'oothed back. How I longed to
sob out some of my worry and un
certainty. But X knew that Jim
would come into the room in just a
minute—and besides I didlt't want
to give Xeal cause for asking diffi
! cuult questions.
He came into the room, greeted
Xeal with a brisk "good morning,"
and hurried away without kissing
]me good-by. For a second Neal
I scowled angrily, then the twinkle!
j came back into his eye, and he let!
the incident pass without comment.!
While Xeal dressed, E did our]
becfroom. 'When I got over to the
bureau, there on the pincushion,
with a pearl-handled hatpin thrust
through it, was a dollar bill, and
crumpled against it a slip of paper
on which was written:
"The lion's share for you, sweet
heart —you're more than my better
half."
I crushed the bill in my hand and
set my lips to the words Jim had
RAmtIABtTFIQ TRLEORAPfI
.r
written. Again X wanted to cry nnd
dared not. My boy's generosity tor- j
Hired me even while It made mej
proud.
My Jim—James Hunter Harrison, '
ex-lleutenant of the American flying
forces—was out In the city hunting
for work—and in his pocket there !
were only two one-dollar bills. Had
he more than that In the world?
Would he find work that day?"

t Life's Problems
Are Discussed
HV MRS. WILSON WOODROAV
I have been receiving dome very un
usual letters lately. Anon" them is
the one I give below—so touching, so
appealing that I am sure the readers
of this column will be as much Im
pressed by It as I have been:
"Dear Madam: X have read your ar
ticle in the paper about then man who
wrote to ask you how he could bear
his life,' now that the wife he loved so
dearly was gone from him.
'I think it is very hard for any one
to answer his question unless one
has had sorrows of one's own. But X
would answer, and I think every
mother in the world would answer
the same way, that now that his wife
has passed away he should give the
love he gave to her to the things that
were dearest to her and were a part
| of her—her children.
I "To let them be adopted by others,
strangers perhaps, would bo cruel; to
go back to his old, roving life would
make not only them but him unhappy;
i to try and join his wife by taking
his own life would be making a leap
in the dark. He might not tind her
ever again by using such unworthy
j means to do so. It is bad enough
that his little children are left mother
less, so why should he consider leav
ing them fatherless, too?
Doesn't he know what her last smile
meant? It said to him: 'Be good to
our children. Do not forsake them
when they need you most. Dove them
always as I have loved you.'
"Dear Mrs. AVoodrow, I write this
letter with a broken heart. When I
was only 23 years old roy husband
died and I was left with two little
children. My sorrow made me selfish.
I forgot the little ones. I felt that
there was nothing left for me to live
for; the world was black. I grieved
so that I lost my health and became
so 111 that I was finally sent to a hos
pital.
"One day the children were brought
there to visit me, and when I saw
them I ached to take them to my
heart, to hold them tight, to kiss them
and whisper sweet things to them.
But I was too weak and ill to do so.
My little boy came to my bed. and
said: 'Hello, mother, dear: how do
you feel?' Of course, I can't write
you my feelings then. And when the
time came for them to go. my baby
cried and my little boy couldn't say
! good-by for his tears.
"I couldn't cry. I oouldn't talk.
But after they went I began to rea
lize that they still needed me; they
still wanted me. From that day I be
gan to fight for my life just for their
sakes. I am still fighting and hope
some day to win back my health in
order that I may give my little ones
their mother again.
"This man who has written you has
health. He can work and give his
children a good home. He Is ahead
of me. But I will not give up.
"Tell me, though, do you believe It
Is possible for me to win out?
"Respectfully,
"R."
I do believe It Is possible for you to
win out. I do not say that lightly or
In the hope of cheering and comfort
ing you. I say It because I believe It.
Any doctor will tell you that the
will to live, tho Intense desire and
determination to do so, Is the strong
est factor in the recovery of a patient.
I do not know anything about you, the
nature of your malady, its cause, or
how serious It may be. But Ido know
that the age of so-called "miracles" Is
not past. Doctors of long expert-,
ence nave told me from time to time
strange tales of the startling recov
ery or patients who were In extremis
—beyond hope. It Is a matter of com
mon knowledge that bedridden In
valids under stress of sudden fear or
some equally strong emotion, will get
up and walk, and they usually retain
the use of their limbs thereafter.
If you are a Catholic, you may be
acquainted prlth the cures that have
taken place at Dourdes and other spots
sacred to those of that faith. These
cennot be disputed. The Incurably
lame have thrown away their
crutches, sight has been restored to
blind eyes, hearing to deaf ears.
If you are a Protestant, you may
be aware of the remarkable and in
explicable cures among the early AVes
leyans and the Quakers. Christian
Science healings are so common as to
have come within the observation of
almost every one.
But the great point Is this. The
fact that your children need you and
that you feel this need so deeply is a
spiritual call that In its vitality and
intensity may easily, perhaps instan
taneously, vanquish the ills of the
flesh."

Advice to the Lovelorn
BV BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A BRUTAI, HI*SB.AND
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My letter is different from those
you answer every day. I have been
married four years, have no children,
and have been abused every day of
that time. My husband is one of those
men who keep up appearances, even
though his wife starves. He is the
most jealous person 1 have ever
known. He can't bear my leaving
the house for any reason at all, yet I
never remember his getting home be
fore midnight. He is in the draft and
expects to leave for camp very soon.
He beats me every day, because he is
afraid I may keep company with
other men while he is away, although
since my marriage I have not as much
as spoken to another man.
You may think it strange that he
can be so jealous, when I was only a
child when we were married, and am
only JO now. He will not insure him
self for me, or send me one bit of al
lotment, and still X love him.
L. O. T.
It is beyond understanding how you
can love a man who has treated you
so brutally, and if you wish to put up
with treatment of this kind there is
nothing to advise. He is obliged to
give you an allotment, and I should
advise your talking your case over
with some lawyer or the Legal Aid
Society. No woman is obliged to
stand daily beatings, and you would
do well to consult your priest or min
ister if you have no friends In whose
discretion you can trust.
No man entirely sane acts as you
describe your husband. Your health
and life may be seriously in danger. I
should advise you to act immediately.
Stop Itching Eczema fl
Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by anydruggist for3sc. Extra
large bottle, $l.OO. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short
time usually every trace of eczema,
tetter, pimples, rash, blackheads and
similar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It ia not •
greasy salve and it J oca not stain. When
others fail It Is the one dependable
treatment for skin troubles of all kinds.
