BECAUSE HER HUSBAND WILL NOT LET HER HELP TAKE
CARE OF THE TWINS, AND BECAUSE SHE HATES
IDLENESS, ROSE HAS A VERY SERIOUS
DISAGREEMENT WITH RODNEY
SYNOPSIS. Roso Stanton mnrrles Rodney AUlrtch, a weulthy young
lawyer, nftcr a brief courtship, and Instantly Is taken up. by Chica
go's exclusive social set nud made a part of the gay whirl of the rich
folk. It is all new to the girl, und for tlio first few months sho Is
charmed with tho life. And then sho comes to feel that sho Is living
a useless existence, that sho Is a soclul butterfly, a mere ornament In
her husband's home. Hose longs to do something useful and to have
the opportunity to employ her mind and utilize her talent nnd educa
tion. Rodney feels much the same way himself. He thinks he ought
to potter around In society Just to please his wife, when In reality
he'd rather be giving his nights to study or social service of some
sort. They try to reach on understanding following tho visit of two
New York friends, who have worked out satisfactorily this same prob
lem. Then Rose decides that her Job as mother Is a big one, aud she
looks eagerly forward to the great event, but she has twins and is
unable to care for both the babies at once.
CHAPTER XIII.

The Dam Gives Way.
She began getting her strength back
ery fast In the next two or three
days, but this queer kink In her emo
tions didn't straighten out She came
to see that It was absurd monstrous
almost, but that didn't help. Instead
of a baby, she had given birth to two.
They were hers, of course, as much
as one would have been. Only, her
soul, which bad been waiting so
ecstatically for Its miracle for the
thlld which, by muting her a mother,
should supply what her life needed
lier soul wouldn't couldn't accept
the substitution. Those two droll,
thin-voiced, squirming little mites that
were exhibited to her every morning,
were as foreign to her, as If they had
been brought Into the house in a
basket
When Harriet came In for the firRt
time to see her. Rose knew". Har
riet was living here now, runnfrig the
Jio'ise for Rodney, whllo Rose was
laid op. Doing It beautifully well,
too, through all the confusion of
nm-ues nnd all. Harriet said:
"I think you're In great luck to
have had two at once; get your duty
to posterity done that much sooner.
And, of course, you couldn't possibly
be expected to nurse two great crea
tures like that."
Rose acquiesced. She would have
struggled, though, she, knew, but for
that queer trick fate hud played her.
Her heart ached.
When she found that struggling
with herself, denouncing herself for
a brute, didn't serve to bring up the
feelings toward tho twins that -she
knew any proper mother ought to
have, she burled the dark fact as
deep as she could, and pretended. It
wns only before Rodney that tho pre
' tense was really necessary. And with
him, really, it was hardiy a pretense
at nil. He was such a child himself,
In his gleeful delight over the pos
session of a son nnd n daughter, that
she felt for him, tenderly, mistily,
luminously, the very emotion she was
trying to capture for them felt like
cradling his head In her weak arms,
kissing him, crying over him.
She wouldu't have been allowed to
do that to tho bubles, onyway. They
were going to be terribly well brought
op, those twins; that was apparent
from the beginning. They had two
nurses alt to themselves, quite apart
from Miss Harris, who looked after
Rose Mrs. Ruston and Doris, the
maid, who were destined, It nppeared,
to be us permanent as the babies. Cut
Rose hnd the germ of an Idea of her
own about that.
' They got them named with very lit
tle difficulty. The boy was Rodney,
f course, after his futher nnd grand
father before him. Rose wus u little
of raid Rodney would wont tho gl.l
named after her, nnd was relieved to
find he didn't. There'd never In the
world be but one Rose for him, he
eald. So Rose numed the girl Portia.
They kept Rose In bed for three
weeks; flat on her back as much as
)osslble, which was terribly Irksome
to her, since her strength and vital
ity were coming back so fast, tshe
might have rebelled, hnd It not been
for that germlnnnt Idea of hers. It
wouldn't do, sho saw, In the light of
thot, to give them any excuse for call
ing her unrctsonnble.
One Sunday morning, Rodney car
ried her upstairs to the nursery to
see her babies bathed. This was a
big room at the top of the house
which Florence McCrea had always
vaguely Intended to make Into a
studio. But, In the paralysis of In
decision as to what sort of studio to
make It, she had left the thing bare.
Rodney had given Harriot carte
blanche to go ahead and fit It up be
fore he and Rose cume back from the
seashore, nnd the layette was a monu
ment to Harriet's practicality. There
had been a-jvild day of supplement
ing, of course, when It was discovered
that there were two bubies Instead of
one.
The room, when they escorted Rose
' Into It, was a terribly Impressive
filnce. The spirit of n burren, sterile
efficiency brooded everywhere. And
this appearance of bareness obtained
despite the presence of an enormous
number of articles a pnlr of scales,
a perfect battery of electric heaters
of various sorts; rows of v'neuurn Jars
for keeping things cold or hot; n small
totllizlng oven ."Instruments and ap
pliances that Rose couldn't guess the
uses or the names of. Mrs. Ruston,
of course, was master of them all,
and Doris flew about to do her bid
ding, under a watchful eye.
Rose surveyed this scene, Just as
she would have surveyed a laboratory,
or a factory where they make some
thing 'complicated, like watches.
That's what It was, really. Those two
pink little objects, In their two severe
ly sanitary baskets, were factory prod
ucts. At precise und nnalterable In
tervals, a highly scientific compound
of futs and protelds was put Into
them. They were inspected, weighed,
submitted to a routine of other proc
esses. And In all the routine, there
wns nothing that their mother, now
they were fairly born, wns wanted for,
Rose kept those Ideas to herself
and kept an eye on young Doris, lis
tened to the orders she got, nnd stud
led alertly what she did In the execu
tion of them.
Rodney had a lovely time watching
the twins bathed. Pie stood about In
everybody's way, made whnt he con-
ceived to be alluring noises, and Anally
turned suddenly to his wife and said :
"Don't you want to hold them, Rose?"
A stab of pain went through her
and tears came up Into her eyes. "Yes,
give them to me," she started to say.
But Mrs. .Ruston spoke before she
could frame the words. It was their
feeding hour, a bad time for them
to be excited, and the bottles were
heated exactly right
By that time Rose's Idea had flow
ered Into resolution. But sho mustn't
Jeopardize the success of her plan by
trying to put It Into effect too soon.
Sho waited patiently, reasonably,
for another fortnight Harriet, by that
time, had gone off to Washington on
a visit, taking Rodney's heartfelt
thnnks with her. Rose expressed hers
Just as warmly, and felt ashamed
that they were bo unreal. She simply
mustn't let herself get to resenting
Harriet I .At the end of. the fort
night, the doctor made his final visit
Rose had especially asked Rodney to
be on hand to hear his report when
tho examination was over.
"He says," Hose told her husband,
"that I'm perfectly well." She turned
to the doctor for confirmation. "Don't
you?"
The doctor smiled. "As far as my
diagnostic resources go, Mrs. Aldrlch,
you ore perfectly well."
Rose smiled widely and contentedly
upon them. "That's delightful," she
Rose Surveyed This Scene.
said to the doctor. "Thanks very
much."
But after he had gone she found
Mrs. Huston In tho nursery nnd had
a talk with that lady, which wns des
tined to produce seismic upheavals.
"I've . decided to make a little
change In our arrangements, Mrs. Rus
ton," she snld. "But I don't think
It's one that will disturb you very
much. I'm going to let Doris go
I'll get her another ploce, of course
and do her work myself."
Mrs. Ruston compressed her lips,
and went on for a minute with wlint
she was doing to ono of the twins,
as If she hadn't heard. "Doris Is
quite satisfactory, madam," she said
at last "I'd not advise making a
change. She's a dependable young
woman, as such go. Of course I watch
her very close."
"I think I can promise to be de
pendable," Rose said "I don't know
much about babies, but I think I can
learn as well aa Doris. Anyhow, 1
can wheel them about and wash their
clothes and boll their bottles and
things as well as she does. And you
cnu tell me what to do Just as you tell
her."
To this last observation It became
evident that M, Ruston meant to
make no reply at ull. She gave Rose
some statistical information about the
twins Instead, In which Rose showed
herself politely Interested, and present
ly withdrew.
Rodney wore a queer expression
all through dinner, and when he got
Rose alone In the library afterward,
he explulned It. Mrs. Ruston hud
given him notice, contingently. Rose
hud Informed her of her Intention to
dispense with the service of the nurse
maid. If Rose adhered to this Inten
tion, Mrs. Ruston must leave. '
It was some sort of absurd misun
derstanding, of course, Rodney con
cluded, and wanted to know whnt it
wns ail about
"I did say I meant to let Doris go,"
Rose explained, "but I told her I meant
to take Doris' Job myself. I suld I
thought I could be Just as good a
nursemaid as she was. And I meant
It"
Ho 'vns prowling about the room In
n worried sort of way, before she got
as far at: that "I don't sec, child,"
he exclaimed, "why you couldn't leave
well enough alone I If It's that old
economy bug of yours again, It's non
sense. You, to spend all your time
doing menial work to save mo ten
dollars a week I"
"It isn't menial work," Rose Insist
ed. "It's apprentice work. After I've
been at It six months, learning as fust
as I can, I'll be able to let Mrs. Ruston
go and take her Job I'll be really
competent to take core of my own
children. I don't pretend I am now."
He stared at her In perfectly honest
bewilderment "You're talking rather
wild I think, Rose," he said very quiet
ly. "I'm talking what I've learned from
you," she said. "Oh, Rodney, please
try to forget that I'm your wife nnd
that you're In love with me. Can't
you Just say : 'nere's A, or B, or X, a
perfectly healthy woman, twenty-two
years old, and a little real work would
be good for hert"
She won, with much pleading, a sort
of troubled half-assent from him. The
matter could be taken up again with
Mrs. Ruston.
Given a fair field, Rose might have
won a victory here. But, as Portia
hud Hnld once, the pattern was cut dif
ferently. There was a sudden alarm
one night, when he; little namesake
was found strangling with the croup.
There were seven terrifying hours al
most unendurable hours, while the
young life swung and balanced over
the ultimate abyss. The heroine of
those hours was Mrs. Ruston. That
thj child lived was clearly creditable
to her.
Rose made another effort even after
that, though she knew she was beaten
In advance. She waited until the old
calm routine was re-established. Then,
once more, she asked for her chance.
But Rodney exploded before she got
the words fairly out of her mouth.
"No," he shouted, "I won't consider It I
She's saved that baby's life. You'll
have to find some way of satisfying
your whims that won't Jeopardize
those babies' lives. After that night
good heavens, Rose, have you forgot
ten that night? I'm going to play It
safe."
Rose paled a little and sat Ivory still
In her chair. There were no miracles
any more. The great dam was swept
away.
nnJ steady her voice was. There was
even tho trace of a smile about her
wonderful mouth. "Do you remember
that afternoon of ours, the very first
of them, when yon brought home my
notebooks nnd found me asleep on the
couch In our old back parlor? Do you
remember how- you told me that one's
desires were the only motive power
he had? Well, It was a funny thing
I got to wondering afterward what
my desires were, and It seemed I
hadn't any. Everything had, somehow,
come to me before I knew I wanted It
Everything In the world, even your
love for me, came like that
"But I've got a passion now, Rodney.
I've hnd It for a long while. It's a
desire I can't satisfy. The thing I
want and there's toothing In the world
I wouldn't give to get it Is, well, your
friendship, Roddy; that's a way of say
ing It."
Rodney started and stared at her.
The thing struck him, it seemed, as a
sort of grotesquely Irritating anticli
max. "Gracious heaven!" he said. "My
friendship I Why, I'm in love with you!
That's certainly a bigger thing."
"I don't know whether It's a bigger
thing or not," she suld. "But It doesn't
Include the other."
He was tramping up and down tho
room by now. "You've got my friend-
CHAPTER XIV.
The Only Remedy.
She was In the grip of an appalling
realization. This moment this actu
ally present moment that was going
to last only until she should speak for
the next time was the critical mo
ment of her life.
"Roddy . . ." she said.
He was slumped down In a big easy
chair at the other side of the table,
swinging a restless foot; drumming
now and then with his fingers. Some
sort of scene was Inevitable, ho knew.
And he But there waiting for It
He thought he was ready for any
thing. But Just the way she spoke his
name startled almost frightened him,
she said It so quietly, so tenderly.
"Roddy," she said, "I want you to
come over here and kiss me, nnd then
go back and sit down In that chair
again."
He went a little pale at that The
swing of his foot was arrested sud
denly. But, for a moment, he mado no
move Just looked wonderlngly Into
her great, grave eyes.
"Something's going to happen," she
went on, "and before It's over, I'm
afraid It's going to hurt you terribly
and me. And I want the kiss for us
to remember. So that we'll always
know, whatever happens afterward,
that we loved each other." She held
out her arms to him. "Won't you
come?"
He came a man bewildered, bent
down over her, and found her Hps ; but
almost absently, out of a daze.
"No, not like that," she murmured.
"In the old way."
There was a long embrace.
"I doil't believe I'd have the courage
to do It," she said, "If It were Just me.
But there's someone else I've made
someone a promise. I can't tell you
about that. Now please go back and
sit over there where jpu were, where
we can talk quietly. Oh, Roddy, I love
you so ! No, please go back, old man I
And and light your pipe. Oh, don't
tremble like that I It Isn't a tragedy.
It's for us, It's the greatest hope In
the world."
He went back to his chair, no even
lighted his pipe as she asked hlra to,
and waited as steadily as he could for
her to begin.
"Do yoa remember . . ." she be
gan, and It was remarkable bow quiet
"Roddy," She Said, "I Want You to
Come Over Here and Kiss Me."
ship!" he cried out. "It's grotesque
perversion of the facts to say you
haven't." .
She smiled at him ns she shook her
head. "I've spent too many months
trying to get It and seeing myself fall
-oh, so ridiculously 1 not to know
what I'm tulklng about, Roddy."
And then, still smiling rather sadly,
sho told hlra what some of the experi
ments had been some of her attempts
to break into tho life he kept locked
away from her. "I was angry at first
when I found yoa keeping me out,"
she said, "angry and hurt I used to
cry about It And then I saw It wasn't
your fault That's how I discovered
friendship had to be earned."
But her power to maintain that atti
tude of grave detachment was about
spent The passion mounted In her
voice and In her eyes as she went on.
"You thought my mind had got full of
wild Ideas the wild Idea I was pulling
you down from something free nnd fine
that you had been, to something that
you despised yourself for being and
had to try to deny you were. You
were wrong about that, Roddy.
"I did have an obsession, but it
wasn't the thing you thought. It was
an obsession thnt kept me quiet, nnd
contented and happy, and willing to
wait In spite of everything. The ob
session was that none of those things
mnttered because a big mlraclo was
coming thnt wns going to change It all.
I was going to have a Job at last a
Job that was Just as real as yours
the Job of being a mother."
Her voice broke in a fierce, sharp
little laugh over the word, but she got
it back in control again.
"I was going to have a baby to keep
alive with my own care. There was
going to be responsibility and hard
work, things that demanded courage
and endurance and sacrifice. I could
earn your friendship with that, I said.
That was tho real obsession, Roddy,
and It never really died until tonight
Well, I suppose I can't complain. It's
over, that's the main thing. '
"Aud now, here I am perfectly nor
mal and well again as good as ever.
I could wear pretty clothes again and
start going out Just as I did a year ago.
People would admire me, and you'd be
pleased, and you'd love me as much
as ever, and It would all be like the
paradise It was last year, except for
one thing. The one thing Is that If I
do that, I'll know this time what I
really am."
With a dangerous light of anger in
his eyes, he said quietly : "It's perfect
ly outrageous that you should talk like
that, and I'll ask yoa never to do It
again." 1
After ten seconds of silence, she
went on : "Why, Roddy, Tve heard you
describe me a hundred times. Not the
you that's my lover. The other you
talking all over the universe to Barry
Lake. You've described the woman
who's never been trained nor taught
nor disciplined ; who's been brought up
soft, with the bloom on, for the pur
pose of making her marriageable;
who's never found her Job In marriage,
who doesn't cook, nor sew, nor spin,
nor even take care of her own chil
dren; the woman who uses her churm
to save her from having to do hard,
ugly things, and keep her in luxury.
Do you remember what you've called
her, Roddy?
"I didn't understand any of that
when you married me, Roddy ; It was
Just like a dream to me like a fairy
story come truo. But I understand
now. How can you be sure, knowing
that my position In the world, my
friends, oh, the very clothes on my
back, and the roof over my head, are
dependent on your love how are yoa
going to be sure that my love for you
is honest, and disinterested? What's
to keep you from wondering asking
questions? Love's got to be free, Rod
dy.' The only way to make It free
Is to have friendship growing along
side It So when I can be your part
ner and your friend, I'll be your wife)
too. But not not, Roddy, till I can
find a way. I'll have to find It for
myself. I'll have to go off . . ."
She broke down over a word she,
couldn't at first say, burled her face
In ber arms, and let a deep, racking
sob or two have their way with her.
But presently she sat erect again'
and, with a supreme effort of will,
forced her voice to utter the word:
"I've got to go off alone away from
you, and stay until I find It If I ever
do, and you want me, I'll come back."
The struggle between them lasted i
week a ghastly week, during which,
so far as the surface of things showed.
their life flowed along in its accus
tomed channels. But at all sorts of
times, and In all sorts of places, when
they were alone together, the great
battle was renewed.
Tho hurdest thing about It all for
Rose the thing that came nearest to
breaking down her courage was to
see how slowly Rodney came to realize
It at all. He was like a trapped am
mai pacing the four sides of his cage,
confident that In a moment or two he
would And tho way out, and then, In
credulously, dnzedly, coming to the sur
mise that there was no way out. She
really meant to go away and leave him
leave the babies; go somewhere
where his care and protection could
not reach her I She was actuully plan
ning the details of doing It I By the
end of one of their long talks, It would
seem to her that he had grasped this
monstrous Intention and accepted it
But before the beginning of the next
one, he seemed to manage, Boraebow,
to dismiss the thing as a nightmare.
Somehow or other, during the calmer
moments toward the end, practical de
tails managed to get talked about-
settled after a fashion, without the ad
mission really being made on his part
that the thing was going to huppen at
ull.
"I'd do everything I could, of course,
to mnke it easier," she said. "We could
have a story for people that I'd gone
to California to make mother a long
visit. Wo could bring Harriet home
from Washington to keep house while
I was gone. I'd take my trunks, yoa
see, and really go. People would sus
pect of course, after a while, but
they'll always pretend to believe any
thing that's comfortable."
"Where would you go, really?" he
demanded. "Have you any plan at
all?"
"I have a sort of plan," she said. "I
think I know of a way of earning a liv
ing." But she didn't offer to go on and tell
him whnt It was, and, after a little si
lence, he commented bitterly upon this
omission.
Rose's point of view may seem
foolish to o.ld-fshloned women.
How do you feet about it? Im
portant developments come In

(TO BE CONTINUED.)
TRAPPING OF MONKEYS EASY
Curiosity, Greed and Imitative Faculty
of Animals Furnish Vulnerable
Point of Attack.
When we see in the street an organ-grinder
with his little red-capped
pet monkey, we seldom stop to think
of the animal's native home or how it
was trapped. As a matter of fact, the
monkey came from Asia, Africa or
South America. The last-mentioned
have nostrils widely separated where
as the old world monkeys have them
close with a narrow nasal septum.
One might readily Imagine that the
trapping of monkeys Is a difficult op
eration. However, nothing could be
further from the truth than this hy
pothesis. Monkeys are easily caught,
not b'y heavily built' traps, but by
sheer Ingenuity and the simplest sort
of artifices. A monkey has various vul
nerable points of attack, so to speak;
and these are cupidity, curiosity, cov
etousness or greed, nnd a truly won
derful Imitative faculty.
A trapper can take a pair of boots
Into the Jungle, drop them down within
sight of a monkey nnd soon have
that monkey In a cage. The boots on
his feet appear to be the same as the
boots he leaves; but here Is where
the monkey is mistaken. As soon as
the visitor goes away, the monkey de
scends from some tree and thrusts hli
own feet Into tho boots. The Inside Is
covered with glue, and he sticks fast;
also tho boots are weighted with lead
and chained together.
The trapper may chnln a gourd,
Ailed with corn or some other eatable,
to a heavy log. Mr. Monkey comes
along, tastes the food, relishes It, and
wants more. There Is no limit to his
greed. He thrusts his hand Into the
small opening In the gourd and his
Angers close around a large supply of
the food. Then he finds himself un
able to withdraw his hand. The trap
per advances and captures Mr. Mon
key, becauso the animal's thinking
cap and his Insatiable greed are such
that the simple expedient of releasing1
the food never occurs to him as a
means of escape.

Stress Laid On Serial Numbering Of
Registration Cards Single
Jury Wheel May
Be Used.
Washington. Selection day for the
new national army Is approaching
rapidly as the local exemption boards
in the various states complete their
organization, give serial numbers to
the registration cards nnd forward
certified copies to Provost Marshal
General Crowder. Indications are that
tho drawing will be held this week,
but no odlclal statement has been
made as to tho Wur ' Department's
plans.
Administration officials still main
tain strlet silence as to the method to
be followed. The recent statement by
Secretary Baker that the drawlnj
would bo held in Washington, how
ever, coupled with the stress laid upon
the serial numbering of registration
boards, clearly indicates the gonerul
outline of the plan.
It U understood that It Is proposed
to place In a single Jury wheel In
Wajhington one complete set of num
bers. When a number Is taken from
the wheel the man In each exemption
district whose card bears that serial
number will be drafted. Thus, as each
numbe Is drawn, approximately 30,000
men will be drafted, or one In each
exemption district. If 1,200,000 men
are to be called before the exemption
boards in the first selection, which
seems highly probable, only 40 num
bers would need to be drawn.
There are numerous complications
which must arise, however, and the
method of selecting them can be
known only when the Administration
makes known Its plans in detail. For
Instance, the number of registered In
dividuals in each district who are
liable for military service will certain
ly not be the same. Aliens are regis
tered, but not liable for duty.'
All this must be considered in fram
ing the regulations. Provision must
be made also to balance as far as pos
sible the chance. of military duty be
tween the men in each district, no
that disqualification of a large number
in any particular district for any rea
son will not put upon those qualified
additional likelihood of being -sent, to
the front
Various ways o accomplishing this
correction of chances so a3 to make
the resulting draft as fair as human
Ingenuity can contrive have been sug
gested. The matter has had President
Wilson's personal consideration, in
line with his pledge that the method
employed would be Just in every re
spect. " y.
. While the first contingent of the
new army, under the bill, is limited to
500,000 men. an additional 125,000 or
150,000 will be needed to make up the
reserve battalions of this force. Re
serve battalions are now being recruit
ed for all regular regiments and will
be recruited for the National Guard
when It is drafted into the Federal
service The organization of the na
tional army will be on the same basis.
It may be necessary, also, to draft
enough men to fill up the regulars and
National Guard to war strength, al
though no decision to this end has been
reached as yet The regulars are now
close to war strength and the guard
units are recruiting rapidly. If pos
sible, they will be completed by the
war volunteer system.
There is one other consideration j
which will affect the total number of
men- to be drawn. Opinion varies as 1
to the, number of exemptions which

outlined in the exemption regulations.
A rough estimate of at least CO per
cent exemptions for physical or other
reason has been generally employed In
computing the probable size of the
task before the exemption boards.
Another factor, which Is being work
ed out in the selection regulations is
the provision of the law requiring that
