three-quarters of an hour to get down
there and check her trunk.”
"Yes. she'll be ready—she's just
throwing in her things! Oh, Warren,
it's too had this thing had to happen!
I feel perfectly wretched!”
“Well, you're a little fool to let it

“Oh, yes, I know, but she was going

”\Ve won't We’ll let her do the ex

"Oh, but she won't tell it as it is—

we followed her mother’s instructions
in not letting her see that man. She
may’ even make Aunt Kmma think that

‘The deuce with what Aunt Kmma
thinks! as he strode over to the
phone.
While he ordered the taxi, Helen
again went in to Alice. She found her
trying to force down the tray in the
overcrowded trunk.
"Oh, you can’t close it like that! You
pack your satchel and get yourself
ready I 11 lock this for you. Are you
sure everything's in?
With difficulty Helen finally got the
trunk closed, but she had to call War
ren to lock it Alice, who was trying
on her veil, did not turn as he entered,
but Helen could see that she was
watching him in the mirror with angry
eyes. In grim silence Warren locked
the trunk, threw’ down the key and
stalked out. •
Helen stood awkwardly pulling at
the end of the trunk strap, wanting to
sa > something to make the parting less
strained. But there was nothing re
lenting in Alice’s manner as she now-
swept the key into her purse, took up
he gloves and announced coldly that
she was ready.
” T I he taxicab will be here in a mo
ment. murmured Helen, “Warren or
dered it for a quarter past 9.” Then
with hesitating embarrassment: “!'m
sorry you’re leaving live this, Alice,
: feci that”
“Well, you needn't be sorry" (cold
ly i. “I’m very glad to go, and I think
you’re glad to have me go. It was
a mistake that I came at aii."
What little sympathy Helen had for
.■ was chilled'by this remark.
Warren Is Worried.
"Well, of course, Alice, if you feel
(hat way aoout it— perhaps it's just
as well that you're going. I’ll see if
e taki’s come.”
Helen hurried to look out of the
front room window, but the taxi had
not yet come. Warren, with his hands
• «rust deep in his pockets, was walk
ing up and down the room—a trick
i his when worried—and he was plain
ly worried at this last performance of
tits wayward cousin.
In Alice he had met some one that
he could not dominate. Because he
had sent this man away without letting
him see her. and had forbidden her to
even talk with him on the phone, Alice
ad fiercely declared that she would go
home, that site would start th&t night.
She would listen neither to Helen’s
pleadings nor to Warren’s angry or
ders. She declared if they did not take
her to the station that she would go
alone that she would not stay another
night in their house, frhe knew there
was a iO o’clock train, and she intended
to take it
So they had no choice but to let her
go.
“Dear, she's impossible, exclaimed
Helen, turning from the wffidow. “I
tried to say something nice to her
just. now. but she cut me off by saying
she was glad to go, and that she knew
we were glad to have her go; that it was
mistake she ever came "
“Hump! Well, she's got that about
right. I'll write Aunt Kmma to-night
and tell her a thing or two. This is
ie result of her pampering and spoil-
ng that girl all her life. There’s the
taxi now. Hustle and get on your
•vugs.''
“Why. Warren, I’m not going!"
“Kike to know why you’re not? Now
■;;<rry and gr. ready’.’’
Helen had not thought of going to
<■ station, but now she understood
a h> Warren w anted her. She knew
• long drive with Alice would be in
drained, awkward silence, and he had
no intention of taking it alone.
The elevator boy came up for the
trunk, Warren got into his overcoat.
■d at the last moment Alice came out
>f her room carrying her satchel. They
a (lit down to the tab In silence. Helen
took the back seat beside Alice, while
Warren settled himself on the seat op
posite.
• he night air was heavy with a dril
ling mist. In a constrained silence
ev eased out at the wet pavements
and blurred street lights.
It was a relief when at last the cab

'When he e.. . e i.unutd Alice
an envelope.
“Your Pullman ticket’s in there, too,”
brusquely. "Nothing left but upper
berths."
An Awkward Moment.
The train was made up. and they
I mssed through the gate and down
the long platform. Warren led the
way in.to the sleeper, found the num
ber of the berth and deposited Alice's
bag "ii the red plush seat. Then came
be most awkward moment of all—the
moment of parting.
“Well, Alice. 1 hope you will get
home all right." Helen held out her
hand and made an uncertain embar
rassed movement as though to kiss her
good-bye. but Alice drew coldly back
and merely shook hands.
“Thank you,” frigidly. “I’m sure I
will.”
“I’ll telegraph your mother from the
station here," announced Warren, as he
said “Good-bye” with cold formality.
That was all. Still smarting under
Alice’s haughty refusal to kiss her.
Helen left the car with Warren. Out
side as they went back along the plat
form, she glanced up at the windows,
thinking that Alice might wave them a
more cordial good-bye. But when they
passed the window by which she sat,
her head was deliberately turned away.
Warren was striding angrily ahead,
walkfhg so fast that Helen could hardly
keep up with him. He crossed over to
a telegraph window and wrote rapidly
on a yellow blank:
“Mrs. G. A. Willard.
“ ——— Street, Dayton, Ohio.
“Alice starting for* home to-night.
Meet her on the four-thirty to-morrow.
“W. E. CURTIS.”
“That's twelve words, dear.” looking
over his shoulder, “can’t yo\i leave out
‘for’ and some other word—there's no
use paying for over ten.”
But ignoring this bit of economy.
Warren shoved the telegram unchanged
toward the operator, and demanded:
“How much?” He flung down the 46
cents and left the window with a sar
castic:
"Well, that about ends this pleasing
little episode. Now I’ve just one more
thing to do—and that’s to write Aunt
Emma a piece of my mind. And I’ll
get that letter off to-night, too!”
“Oh, Warren, you must be careful
what you write! There’s no use caus
ing any more unpleasantness—now that
she’s gone."
“Well, all the same, I’m going to
write a few things about that head
strong. snippish young lady that'll open
her mother’s eyes."
When they reached home It was al
most 11, and Warren’s ardor for letter
writing had weakened.

To preserve one's looks you
must be clean- clean all
the time.
Not So Eager.
“Guess I’ll take my bath and turn
in.” he yawned, “and leave that letter
until morning.”
“Yes. dear, I would; you’re too tir^d
to write it to-night.” urged Helen,
knowing that by morning his anger
would cool off and his letter be less se
vere. if he troubled to write it at all.”
But Helen's own indignation at Alice’s
conduct still smoldered. What story
would she tell when she reached Day-
ton? What excuse would she give for
starting home so suddenly at midnight?
Helen had seen enough of Alice to know
that she was not always truthful, and
she feared she would not hesitate to
exonerate herself at their expense.
Ever since Iter marriage Helen had
made it a point to keep free from any
“mix-up” with any of Warren’s rela
tives. She dreaded their gossip and
criticism. For this reason she had been
reluctant to have Alice visit them, fear
ing it would end in some family 111-feel
ing.
And now that Alice had left, highly
incensed, Helen felt she would be quite
capable of making still further trouble
for them all.
I F the young girls who are starting
out with hearts that alternate be
tween hope and fear were to ask
all the sweet-faced old women they,
know this question. "What is the best
investment for a young srirl to make?”
can you imagine their answer?
I am very surd it would not be “In
the iote of man.” for man’s love is at
tended by much toil and regret and
pain. Neither would it be “In saving
your money,” for tjie sweet-faced old
women have found out that there is
much more worth while.
I am sure that if one of these old
women would look back to the days
of her youth, phe >vould reply: "Mv
best investment was In the love of
one of my own sex. First my mother,
then my sister, then my daughter. I
have found no love like the love of
these.”
A Mother’s Love.
It is your mother, “little girl, who
loves you when no one else will, and
whose love lasts as long as she lives.
Her love is not dependent on your
wit. your beauty, your accomplish
ments or your worth in financial re
turns. She loves ypu because it Is
YoU; she would love you if you were
all that is repellant and hideous in
face and character.
It is the love of a sister that
smoothes over the rough places that
even a mother can’t comprehend. Her
youth makes her a more sympathetic
listener to the trials of youth, and it
is the only love left in the wreck of
the home when mother has left it
forever.
A Sister’s Love.
There is an understanding in a sis
ter’s love—a sympathy, a guidance
and strength. If two sisters love each
other, ..nd each gives to the other
the fullest confidence, so long as that
confidence is given without reserve
neither sister will go astray. A young
girl can make no better investment
than in the love of an older sister, for
the older sister, having so recently
trod the same path, knows all the pit -
falls on the way. An older siwter can
make no better investment than in
the love of the girl who Is younger, for
the realisation that she is the guide
makes her cautious of her own foot
steps.
When the years have come and
gone, and the girl who was shielded
by her mother’s love and guided by
her sister’s, becomes a Another, then
Dife can make her no greater gift than
the love of a daughter.
Son Falls in Love.
A son may intend to take care of
his< mother some day: many of them
do. bless them! But there are many
sons who fail in this obligation; and
but*few daughters. The son falls in
love and marries, and his wife comes
first The daughter never marries if
her marriage means that her mother
will be deprived of some one to love
hi i land make her a home.
It is the daughter who ly patient,
and self-denying, and watchful and
tender when the years bring their in
firmities; It is the daughter who
stands between the mother and neg
lect, and who in more instances than
this unappreciative old * world ever
knew, sacrifices her own little happi
ness to take her place between her
mother and the poorhouse.
The best investment, girls, is not
in the love of the man who woos you
to-day and forgets you to-morrow. It
Is an investment you will make. The
voice of nature commands it, but in
making this investment don’t slight
the love that will last longer, and that
is the love of your mother and sister

last week. 1 dident want to go,
but Pa wanted to go. beekaus*
he sed that a frend of his naimed

looked at sum horses.
Pa was the man that interduoed
Mister Crowley to the man who
owned the horse market. & all the
way down to the market he was tell
ing Mister Crowley what a wunder-

Moast tVT the horses that they have in

want is a cgppel of old skippers for

to drag a plow around kind of peace-
& not to think of the days wen

He Was Surprised.

no woman who wants to look her best
and to win success in the world can af
ford to dissipate, which means waste
her energies in any way. You can’t
use yourself up in food or excitement or
late hours and have any self left for
worth while things.” said the little lady,
sagely.
“You have made a careful study of
taking care of the precious human body,
haven't you?” asked the interviewer.
“Oh. there is a lot more to it,” re-
plicd the interviewed. “I am very earn-
d about the importance of cleanliness.
That sounds almost insulting as if ev
ery one else wern't, too. But then if
people, want to preserve the looks they
already have <>r acquire some more, they
must ihink about being clean, clean, all
the time, (’lean means clean from the

fingers, and to the soles of your little

you are al! clean and sweet and rested

that my wife can drive her guests
around with after they have done
lharp days work on the farm, a cup-
pel of horses that is as trac-label &

So we all went to another stabel.
J cud see that Pa dident want to go
to another place, &. I knew that I
wud rather be out sum ware playing
ball with the kids, but we went to
this other place & thay showed a
team of horses that was the moast
tired looking team I ewer seen, excep
Roosevelt & Johnson after eleckshun.
The man that was showing the
team to Pa's frend cairn rite oaver &
leened his hed aggenst the hind heels

sed, that thay are gentle, yet. Assure,
as my name is August thay havent

I think that is a tearjy- such as I
want, sed Mister Crowley. You may
send them up to-morrow. How much
are thay?
Pa Is Wise.
Wait a minnit, sed Pa; lei me ex
plain. You doant want to buy a horse
or a team of horses without trying
them on a livery or sum other rig, to
see if thay are gentel. So Pa’s frend
asked the man August to hitch the
teem to a rig. I cud see that he
dident want to do it vary bad, but he
did it, & wen Mister Crowley & Pa
<fc me got in, the team ran away A
we had to be stopped by a policeman.
I thought you toald me these hors *s

that called hisself August. What
made them run away with me & my
