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.

"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.

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.

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 1 Litt le Bobbie’s By WILLIAM F KIRK Pa Cleek of the Forty Faces Miss Marguerite Clarke.
