Everybody in the hotel suited ut the
little bride. She was so obviously In
Jove with her husband, and he with
her,
So everybody was really sorry for
the bride when the bridegroom was
called back to the city on a most lm-
portant business matter which meant
the transference of several thousands
of dollars.
And out of her own heart, overflow-
ing with sympathy, she gave a bounte-
ous store to the lonely girl who knit-
ted on the piazza. She wondered why
such a nice girl had never married.
One day, in a moment of confidence,
the lonely girl told her.
“You see, my dear,” she sald, “when
once you have really been in love you
cannot ever love again In the same
way. 1 gave my heart long ago—five
years ago, my dear. It was stolen, 1
should say, because—" She hesitated.
“I never learned his name,” she said.
| “You never learned his name?’ ques-
' tioned the little bride.
“I was lving on Staten island and
crossed on the ferry to Manhattan
every morning to my place of business.
He lived there, too. I used to see him
| on the boat. The look in his eyes used
to be a delight to me; he was so youth-
ful in spirit, so happy, so buoyant, 80
different from that crowd of common-
place city men. I knew he wanted to
speak to me. But he was a gentle
man.
“1 think we must have known each
other in this way for three months,
although we never exchanged a word,
or bowed. And then—do you remem-
| ber the ferry ramming the steamship?”
“Yes?” said the little bride breath-
lessly.
“We were almost side by side when
the shock came. The ferryboat turned
on her side and a dozen of us were
flung into the water. I could not swim.
I was struggling wildly, battling with
death when I felt his arm round me
and heard his voice in my ear.
cool,’ he said quietly. ‘There is no
danger. In a few moments the boat
will reach us.’
“When he sald that my terror left
me. I just lay still and let him sup-
were the happiest moments of my life.
And when at last we were picked up
clothes and hot drinks in the saloon
cabin, a sudden fear fell on my spirit.
I knew that, since he had spoken, 1
should never see that look in his eyes
again,
“Just before we stepped ashore he
came up to me. He looked at me in-
quiringly. He sald nothing; there was
nothing for elther of us to say. He
took me in his arms and kissed me.
“Then he spoke. ‘I am going West
100 st¥hs to make a
cup of coffee!
Women do not know how
.many needless steps
} \ they take

1
. w—
Women are amazed to know that it takes 100 steps in the average
kitchen to make a pot of coffee. But scientific investigation has
proven that is the fact. 4
And yet the coffee can be prepared with only 15 steps.
” - today,’ he sald.
When I come back I shall come to se€¢
you. It may be six months or six
years, but I shall always claim you.
¥ shall never let you go out of my
life.”
“And?” questioned the little bride.
“That is all, my dear.”
The lonely girl had arrived the day
before the bridegroom was called back
to the city. She was due to leave on
the day that the bridegroom returned.
The bridegroom actually arrived at the
hotel just as the lonely girl stood In
the office, her baggage beside her,
waiting for her carriage. The bride-
groom walked in and the lonely girl
turned and looked him full in the face.
The little bride saw the look on her
face, but she was too much absorbed
in the bridegroom to think much of
the lonely girl. The lonely girl sat
down in a chair and leaned her head
back against the wall, her face the
color of chalk. The bridegroom had
gone out of the office and the little
bride hurried to the gir! in the chair.
“You feel 111?" she asked. “Can I
get you some water? Won't you lle
down?’
“No,” answered the girl, rising with
an effort. “It was the heat, I think.”
The little bride had thought that it
was very cold. She did not say any-
thing, however, but helped the lonely
girl Into the carriage and waved her
good-by.
The lonely girl had recognized him
as soon as he entered the office,
Meanwhile the little bride had
sought and found her husband and
taken him to the cozy seat on the
stoop. “Arthur, dearest,” said the Iit-
tle bride, “I want to say something—
something awful. Do you remember a
confession you made to me the day
before we were married about—about
kissing a girl once after a ferry accl-
dent?”
“l don’t want to remember those
past transgressions,” growled the
bridegroom, kissing the little bride.
“But why did you do it, Arthur?”
persisted the little bride,
This is one of the amazing facts established by the study of
kitchen work made by leading Domestic Scientists and Mr. Harrington
Emerson, the famous Efficiency Engineer.
They found by exhaustive experiments that 996 steps are taken to
et a simple dinner in an average kitchen. That, in the American
ome, 2,113 steps are taken every day to get three simple meals.
Thousands were spent on these studies. Steps were accurately
counted with pedometers, and stop watches recorded the time.
They ended kitchen drudgery
Mr. Emerson's experiments are the most important ever made for housewives,
They proved conclusively that 1,592 of the daily steps in the average home are
unnecessary.
He showed definitely the way to end the heavy iil that wears away the lives of
countless women.
He accomplished these astounding savings with a Napunse Dutch Kitchenet.
He proved that the same cooks who took 996 steps to get dinner without a Napanee
could get the same meal in the same kitchen with only 262 steps when using a
Napanee. They saved 734 steps on this meal alone, \

“1 felt sorry for her,” answered the
bridegroom, “and—well, she looked as
If she wanted someone to kiss her.
That's all. What harm did it do?”
“You hadn't ever seen her before,
Arthur?’ persisted the little bride.
“Not so far as I am aware, my
dear,” her husband answered. “Go on;
don't spare my feelings.”
“You've not seen her again, have
you, Arthur?”
The bridegreom took the little bride
In his arms.
“My dear,” he sald, “I never saw
her before and I've never seen her
since. To my belief, I shouldn't know
her from Eve. Why?”
“0, nothing,” answered the little
bride happily. ’

innumerable offenses against him be
cause of Watson's wife.
In the southwest, where men are
quick to avenge insult, Watson
dwelled unharmed, mouthing impreca-
tions against Elmer, holding him up
to the scorn of the township,
The men wege neighbors. Elmer,
on his arrival at Westwood, had gone
to call upon his neighbor to talk
over their boundaries. But he found
Watson in a drunken stupor and 8
sad-eyed girl of twenty-two cooking in
the wretched cabin.
“Mrs. Watson?” asked Elmer, doff-
ing his hat. “I am Elmer; 1 have
taken the neighboring range. 1 came
to talk over—" Then he paused In
! embarrassment and saw the wounded
i pride on her face.
| “Mr. Watson shall see you tomor-
row,” said the girl quietly, and El-
mer withdrew. wondering and dis
mayed that such a girl should be
bound to such a man.
He halted at the back of the cabin
to fix his boot. Watson, thinking that
he had gone, sat up on the couch.

He staggered across the cahin toward
the girl. Elmer strode back into the
| cabin. Watson was standing over his
{wife in an attitude of impending as-
| sault. Elmer took him by the shoul-
ders and ran him back across the
| room.
“I don’t believe in interfering be-
| tween a man and his wife—ordinar-
ily,” he said. “But if you ever lay a
finger upon this lady I'll shake your
| teeth down your rum-soaked throat
| you hound. Savvee?”
| Watson fell back with a groan and
Elmer, releasing him, departed.
| He met Mrs. Watson in town next
| day and was relieved to see that she
bore no marks of violence. She nod-
ded very slightly as she passed him.
He learned something of her story
a few days later from some of the
townspeople. Emmeline Watson had
been married to her husband six
months before they moved west from
St. Louis. She was the orphan daugh-
[ter of a famous architect who had
killed himself in shame at his im-
pending bankruptcy. Ignorant of the
world, she had fallen a victim to the
coarse, good-looking traveling man
i who had told her he loved her. They
| were married; six weeks later she
learned that Watson was a drunkard
and an ex-convict. She had prevailed
on him to go west, to make a new
start,
At night, lying in his lonely cabin,
Elmer thought of Emmeline. His pas-
sion drove him forth to mount his
horse and gallop furiously across the
ranges. He turned his horse toward
Watson’s cabin and then, irresolute,
reined In upon the top of an acclivity.
In the south a thin column of smoke
was rising. Tt was the first onset of
a forest fire. He galloped hastily to-
ward the place.
The sun rose as he rode, and long
before he reached the spot the smoke
had become a hell of flame. Already
the tree-tops were leaping wires of
flame when Elmer drew bridle at Wat-
son's home.
It was empty. Elmer shouted with
joy. Doubtless the fugitives had been
warned in time. They must have fled
north along the open range toward
Westwood. He turned his tired nag's
head and spurred him relentlessly.
The animal sniffed the breeze, la-
den with smoke and flying sparks, and
galloped madly for safety.
Then out of the blind smoke came
a cry. It was Emmeline's volce. It
seemed to come out of the smoke
wrack like the cry of a child that
seeks its mother—desperate, hopeless,
and weary. He shouted.
“Emmeline! Emmeline!”
An instinct had guided him
aright, for, though she did not call in
answer, he found her.
She was bending over a flame-
blackened thing that lay in a little
hollow among the pastures. Elmer
saw at once that Watson was dead.
Emmeline Watson looked up. She
seemed to come to her senses.
“My husband is dead,” she sald
slowly. “It is judgment. He tried to
set fire to your cabin last night and
burn you to death. He fired the cabin
and the forests. But God saved you.”
He ran back for his horse and led it
to where Emmeline stood. He swung
her to the horse's withers and mount-
ed behind her. A few minutes later
and they had left the flames behind
them. Elmer bent over Emmeline,
“We are safe now,” he said. “Em-
meline |—"
But though she lay impassive in his
arms he knew that the chain was
broken and that life would be fair for
them thenceforward.
