Mary— but she has not lived as we have, so she is to be excused If she has taught her son to feel that women ought to do their own work. Naturally, as Bert Is s goo<j son. he takes her tone 1 do not blame him." “Of course not,’’ her daughter as sented In her own heart she was won dering if she, this man's wife, could say as much "Your husband is very kind to me,” remarked Mrs Danforth, somewhat ir relevantly. "I ought to be happy ” But was she? Mary pondered Did ■lie not think that perhaps her daugh ter was not as content as she would like her to be? Did she not suspect that Mary did not love ttie man to whom she was married? And, if so, could she be happy she. the mother who had taught her child that a love less marriage was a sin” Her Cheerful Voice. As if reading the unspoken thought. Mrs. Danforth took her daughter's hand tenderly in hers "Tel! me, darling.'' she said, wistfully, “are you satisfied? Are you worried about anything? Sometimes I almost fear that you are a little disappointed about something " The young wife put her arms around her mother and drew the gray head down to her shoulder. "Little mother," she said, her voice determinedly cheerful, "what notions you do get! Why should I not be happ> here in this coxy little cottage, with the best mother that ever lived, and the man I have chosen out of all the world? Dear mother,” with a light laugh, "why should I have married Ben if 1 did not want to”" The mother laughed, too. and there was a ring of relief in the sound "Of course, dear! Why, Indeed? For give your silly old mother but I love you so much that if you were not hap py - why, I just could not stand it!” She ended with a little sob. and the daughter held iter clftser. "You believe now that 1 am happy, don't you. dear”" Mary asked "Oh, yes. 1 believe it now," said the widow tremulously, "and you don't know what a comfort It is to be sure of it." With her head still on Mary’s shoul der she did not look up at the sad eyes gazing out of the window, nor did she see the bitter smile that twisted the young lips. In a moment the wife's face was again placid, and she smiled on I leaving her mother, making the pretext that she had "some work to do down stairs " She did not go downstairs at once Instead, she turned into her own room and closed the door But she did not. as she would have done in her girlhood da> s. fling herself upon the bed and give way to her misery. Instead, she went to the window and looked out into the July sunshine But she was looking into her heart, not into the summer noon. ' Good Lord! she whispered, "what a liar I have become' \ liar both in speech and life"' She stood motionless a moment longer, then lifted her head with a gesture of decision—almost of defiance "But I won’t look back. she mut tered "I have made my bed and must be on it—even if it is made of thorns At all events, mother is comfortable and cared for. She Had Learned. Advertisements for domestics ai the price named by Herbert Fletcher and his mother proved useless As a final re sort.

So it came about that at last Mary Fletcher did the work of her own house, hiring a woman from the village for two days a week to "wash iron and scrub." and even then she had to sup plement her at every turn It was taken as a matter of course that the wife should help hang out the clothes and assist with the ironing She told her mother that she "enjoyed the novel lask:" In fact, that she thought the ex ercise ar.M fresh air good f<her Her husband did not protest Why should His ow*n mother bad always done at r i of work WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE The story opens with Rives, who is in charge of the technical work ings of the great tunnel from America to Germany, on one of the tunnel trains, with Baermann, an engineer, in charge of Main Station No. 4.

O NE of your great Americans sang In an exquisite little poem of "The glory that was Greec?; the grandeur that was Rome.” The glory and grandeur of these nations were founded not only on their art and culture and prowess as warriors, but on a basic condition that male- brains and power reach a great heign! of perfection—on the sublimity and healthy beauty of the human body. When laziness and high llvln.c weakened the bodies of the Greeks and Romans, decline and fall were near. Hut in the flower of their na tional health and youth the bodies of the Greeks and Latins were physi cally splendid, and the endowment * f mental power followed physical health. In these simple facts there lies a great lesson for us of to-day. In bodily health and strength lie the power of the individual and the health of the nation as w’el!. 1 have said so often and am always glad to say again that In the beautiful classic dances that have come down to us from the ancients lies the simplest se cret of bodily grace. Rot to-day I want to add a few principles of bodiiv health and care that a re practiced of necessity by the professional dancer, and that the bodily beauty-seeker would do well to emulate. Begin by training children so that their muscles will fall naturally, In motion or repose, into graceful lines. Teach them that food la very Im portant in one way and of no conse quence in another. Food must nourish the body and give it strength, but be ware the pleasureful-overeating of the well-nourished, 111-proportioned gourmet. Food and Mood. Now. you could dam • a cancan or a breakdown however you hated the world—and Indigestion surely pro duces misanthropy—but you have to be In harmony with life to express poetry in dancine So, since mood affects dancing and food affects mood, this little cycle will make the classi cal dancer careful of the dower of health that spare, sane, sensible eat ing produces. For breakfast I have coffee and hot milk, for lunch fruit and one nourish ing solid and my simple dinner is guiltless of sweets. Clothes I regard as covering and not as trammeling ornaments that interfere with free dom of movement or deep breathing. p e rehaps if 1 convert n few of mv readers to a love for and a belief in the graceful movements of the clas sic dance, 1 shall at the same time make converts to the healthful joys of simple living, of deep breathing and of high thinking. To-day I will tell you about two little movements of the dance that may be done at home without music and to the slower tempo of the walk. Try them for general bodily grace and ease of motion. The first picture shows a very sim ple equally pretty figure, and for sup pleness of arms and legs and waist it counts as strongly as it does for lightly poised and carried head and body. Advance with the bend carried high above the column of the throat and the lifted chin. Sway slightly from the waist as you swing the arms in the arc of a circle; left arm is for ward slightly above the shoulder height as the weight advances for ward to the right foot, and at the same time the right arm Is stretched back in a straight line and lowered from shoulder to w rist until the hand Is Just at the line of the hip. Do this with gradually Increasing tempo, un til the springy walking motion has become a light dancing step. Fifteen minutes of this night and morning will give great grace and resiliency to your ordinary gait. The second picture brings the back and shoulder muscles into play and exercises the throat. In other essen tials it has the basic principles and advantages of the first exercise. Ad vance as before. This time the for ward motion is first on the left and then on the right side of the body and thus great muscular co-ordination is assured ofr the devotee of this ex- is assured for the devotee of this ex elbows close to the waist line and the hands relaxed in easy lines from the wrist. Sway head and arm from side to side as the body pivots slightly from the waist muscles and the feet advance In the lifted prancing step of the dance. “More power to ye," says my neigh bors of Erin's Isle, in kindly greet ing. To you—my neighbors across the sea I say it, too. “More power to you; ' and may the principles of the classical dancing I have so earnestly studied and so earnestly love, bring you beauty and grace and powder to live gloriously and well. A TALE OF LOST CHERUBS “T "AlfE Gudgeon children nre lost!" panted Mrs. Sprinkle as she flung open the screen door unceremoniously and burst in upon the Liffick family, variously dis posed in hammocks and sprawly chairs. "\Yh-where?" demanded Liffick In telligently as he awoke from a peace ful dream. | "My goodness!" cried Mrs. Liffick. "Again?” "They’re truly lost." explained Mrs. Sprinkle, excitedly. "And we want you to come and help find them.'They ape sending parties in every direction through the woods and they're going to telephone the life-saving crew to drag the lake “Did the boat tip over”" asked Liffick, now entirely awakened, as be reached for his cap. Mrs. Sprinkle heaved an exasper ated sigh. "If they're lost." she said, succinctly, "they might possibly t>e drowned, mightn’t they” We don t want to leave any stone unturned. Dire Thoughts. "Mrs. Gudgeon left Imogene and Harry playing Just as nicely under j the trees beside their cottage while | she walked down to the pier to fish," related Mrs. Sprinkle, 'and they were gone when she came back in an hour She has called and called for them, and they are nowhere within a mile! j Imogene had such beautiful eyes, too! Maybe gypsies “ It will break their mother’s heart!" said Mrs. Liffick. "How perfectly ter rible! I'm sorry 1 scolded Harry for breaking off nil my geraniums! Ani the time lie scalded our cat — l might have made loss harsh remarks to him. Suppose they've fallen down that old quarry pit! Arthur, you go right over in that d rection and see! It's onK four milee! Liffick,'starting off. ran into sev eral other men from the various cot tages bound on the same errand. “It looks serious,” said Tilton w r ith a shake of his head. "Kids like that and ro venturesome! There’s a dozen things that might have happened to them! I’m bound for the creek bank, where It is so marshy! There’s quick sand there." The w hole summer colony w as soon deserted. Everybody hod gone to hunt for the Gudgeon children, whose various sins of commission were now tenderly covered by the veil of charit able anxiety Mrs Gudgeon alter nately wept at home and darted out on spasmodic bunts. Again she would wander around the cottage making the air rnig with the names of the missing ones. There was no answer. "Harrv might have grown tip to be President some day!” said Mrs. Lif- tiek mournfully. "They say these mischievous little children always turn put so well. Dear little Imo gene"' "You .‘-aid she was a hateful child, mother, when she cut holes In your new embroidered waist,” put in Sally Liffick. \%u> was tagging around that she might miss none of the excite ment. "Sally, you go straight home!” commanded her mother Haven't you any sympathy at all? The idea?” One bv one the searchers staggered in toward dusk Each had the same tale of disappointment and each was dusty and thirsty and hungry and de spairing. "Something per-perfectly awful must have happened to them, because every inch of the wood* has been searched!" said Spr.ukle. "Poor Mrs Gudgeon! Harry was such a brilliant child!” I always said Imogene would turn out a beauty, too," put in Mrs. Tilton. , "It’s hard!” "There never were such darling children in the whole world!” their mother informed everybody between sobs. "Oh, where are my babies? Just to get my arms around them"—• Harry Found. There was a shriek and a scuffle from the little cellar under the Gud geon house and everybody rushed to see. The Gudgeon cook was dragging Harry out from the depths of the po tato bin, while Imogene was unroll ing herself from a pile of old carpet ing. The assembled searchers and their parents stared, voiceless. We flaying hiding from the Indians." vouchsafed Harry. "You made awful good Indians you yelled «o! M As Gudgeon reached for Harry w'ith an arm motion that promised a lay ing over his knee, while Mi's. Gudgeon did likewise with her darling daugh ter. the searchers melted away. "Wow!" said Liffick as juvenile wails rent the air “That sounds good to me! Four miles to the stone quar ry and back!” (Ccpyrlxhud, 1918. br lit«ntttlMUJ New* Serrlee.) Before daylight two thousand more men arrived, and with them began the endless stream of freight. RiVes began to feel like a swimmer who lias been bucking a tide-rip. But he asked that the pace be increased, and be shut his teeth and jumped in. Twen ty lieutenants worked on his imme diate staff, all of them young men. but all of them chosen for the cut of their jaws and the cleanness of their records in stress and storm and strife. And Rives worked them as hard as he worked himself. He gave no instruc tions. There was not time for that. He told each man what was to be done in a few curt sentences and left the doing of it to him. That third night a terrific thunder storm broke up the heat wave. It came down in a terrific gale, and the first thunderbolt fired a freight shed where 500 cots were stacked to the roof, as there had been no time to un pack them that night. Before the fire got well under way, the wind ripped the burning roof off. and then came the deluge. When day broke. Rives found that about a third of his jerry-built houses had collapsed— and the flood of materials and men from Toms River set in as before. It was a terrible setback, but he shook his head and w'ent at it as if nothing had happened, and his men backed him with the easy energy and resource of men long accustomed to uneven warfare with Nature. That day Tunnel City looked like a storm- swept mining camp. Two days later it was like the temporary camp of the great army. At the end of ten days it was a city with concrete houses and streets and electric lights and sewerage—a city of 20,000 men with a postoffice, a telephone system, two railroad depots, bakeries, dairies, abattoirs, stores, saloons and a hos pital. And over everything, the discour aged and drooping trees and the few scattered clumps of bushes, the win dow sills and the roofs, was the thick white dust of the cement that had made the miracle possible. Pages of this and many succeed ing issues of this paper might be filled with the details of the wonders of energy and the mighty toil of those summed months on the Jersey coast. And In four other spots on the face of the earth similar scenes were being enacted. But terrific as were the results, grandiose the scale, the details must needs be tiresome, for after all they were only digging a hole in the earth. In this, as in all other matters of great moment, it is well to trust to the trained and not the technical observer. Edgar Hark- ness. the star man of The New York Evening Journal staff, was at the works from the day the first man reached there. Looking over the files of the paper for that summer I came upon a special article he wrote de scribing the progress of the work. You can gather some idea of the tremendous undertaking from his picturesque but vigorous English: "This place of bedlam.” he wrote, in part, under date of September 11, of that year, "looks as if it were go ing up in smoke. To-day the cloud above It is so dense that electric discharges like heat lightning flash across it and there is always a mut tering like distant thunder, while be neath its edges a deep blue horizon tells that elsewhere the sun is shin ing. Beneath the Tunnel City roars and shouts explodes, whistles, thun ders and yells. "From the midst of the pandemo nium and settling over everything like a white sea-fog rises a mon strous white column of dust to join the black smoke canopy overhead. Meeting the heavy blackness it seems to spread and mingle with it, form ing a cloud such as observed at the eruptions of volcanoes. Pressed down by the colder air above it spreads like a gigantic umbrella, and little shreds are whirled away by puffs of the sea ward breeze. “S' HIP captains report that when there is a steady off-shore wind this dust forms white scum on the ocean for miles, and New Yorkers know the source of the nuisance that turns their blue serge suits gray." Hero Mr Harkness drifts off tem porarily to little things that were im portant for the day only, and then goes on to report the progress of the actual work. "The place of construction, follow ing its fixed width of twelve hundred long incline into the bowels of the earth these puffs that tell of terrific blasts are shooting up. Great dredges, attacking the quicksand, shriek and whine as they suck up liquid death. The chain pumps groan and rattle. Derricks and steam shovels whirr and dip. Aerial carts whizz past you on trolleys. Swarms of tiny locomo tives hustle and fuss around, shriek ing at each other with shrill voices. "Sand and gravel flies back to the town where mountains of bagged ce ment are stacked, for there must he housing for 40,000 men before the «old weather reaches. Here another arwy is toiling at break-neck speed about this gigantic task "And all of this is but preliminary to the real work of the great project.” Then there follows a wonderful de scription of the workings of the great tidal basins, Allan’s improvement on the designs of Schlich and Lippman. the famous German engineers, to whom we owe the harnessing of the incalculable power of the tides. Through his ingenious arrangement of reservoirs thousands of tons of water were dumped on gigantic tur bines every hour of the twenty-four, and the lift and fall of the tides gave him ail of this power for simply the cost of original work—less than $5.- 000.000. The scene, indeed, recalled the Tower of Babel—a project so vast that its very conception seemed im pious. And this was only one of five such scenes. In Bermuda. Fa.val, at Fin- isterre and on a great plain beyond London similar mighty panoramas of daring were being unrolled. And Allan, the genius who had provoked these upheavals, was the motive spirit of each. Il e was tireless and unrest ing. Rives and Mrs. Allan heard from him in one camp or another, and be fore they had finished his short dis patches—so it seemed to them—an other from some other tunnel city was laid in their hands or he himself dropped off a construction train from Toms River, clear-eyed, smooth- shaven, and fresh and energetic* as ever. Rives had built a beautiful little house for the chief engineer and his wife on the seaside of the tunnel city, and Allan encouraged Mrs. Allan to spend much of her time there, even when he was in this country. Rives was the one warm personal friend he had made in his lonely life, and know ing how much pleasure Mrs. Allan found in his society, he was glad to have her as nearly contented as pos sible while he darted back and forth across half the Northern Hemisphere. They had one child—a little girl, Edith—and she grew to be almost a stranger to her father. Even when Allan was in New York h e saw but little of his wife and child. His business affairs usually took him a great deal to the house of the great Lloyd, where he held long conferences with the old financier or his daughter. w r ho had the details of the tunnel at her finger ends. A Neglected Wife. Thus Mrs. Allan, a lonely and neg lected woman, w r as thrown constant ly with Rives, an impressionable and high-strung man, who already held for her at least a deep admiration. "Mac is in New York—I got a wire from him late this afternoon," re marked Rives one evening as they w'ere taking a horseback ride along one of the wide level roads that led northward from Tunnel City. ‘"Yes, he called me up," said the woman, with a faintly weary note in her voice. "He sajd that he would be busy about the real estate deal for the next day or so and would have to go to France within a few days. He called up from the Lloyds,” she added, without conscious meaning. Rives was silent for a few r moments as the horses pounded along the gravel road, side by side. "Did he say anything about run ning down here or ?” he stopped off short. He had tried to make the tone nonchalant, but she understood and bit her lip. ,"I know what you are thinking about, Jack," she said soberly, and her voice trembled slightly. "And I wish you wouldn't—pity me." Rives swore at himself in an un dertone and tried to stammer out something light and reassuring. “You're too old a friend." she cut in, quietly. "It would be just like you to go and talk to Mac, and that would be worse than anything else. He is doing the best he can. and 1 know I ought to be happy.” "Aren't you?" asked Rives. "No. I’m not, and you know it per fectly well, my friend. I am as proud of Mac as a woman could be of a man, but I want to be married to a man. not to a —a—an institution." Rives looked at the lightly poised body and the delicate brown head and soft eyes that shone like amber in the moonlight. And he laughed "Everything has been just starting for months and months. I went over all this with him a few weeks ago and he told me just w’hat you are trying to tell me. I only know’ that 1 have been under the same roof with my husband for 24 consecutive hours in six months.” "But, little girl, don’t you see ’’ "Oh, yes! I know’ 1 am unreason able. 1 ha\> cut out about a bale of newspaper clippings about Mac and pictures of me. and I ought to be as vain and pleased as- as--as a wom an. I am proud of him. I even ad mit that it gratifies the woman in me to he pointed out in department stores and at the theater as the wife of Mac Allan but that isn't all that a nor mal woman wants the man she loves to give her." Rives wisely held his tongue there was another little silence last he asked: "Did you ever— have you ev< Mac know exactly bow you feel about —about this?” The woman did not reply at once. "I went down to his office about a month ago," she said at last in a low voice. "I couldn't help it, Jack. I was so lonely and miserable. He sent out word that he was very busy, but would be out in a little while. I told the boy to tell him that I wanted to see him at once. I was mad by that time. He came out perfectly good humored, as he always is, and I told him I wanted him to come home for dinner and spend the evening with me. He said he couldn’t and I—I cried, and I’m afraid I made a scene —but there was nobody there." and AI m* let s n paused, and Rives made no omment. He was looking straight over his horse's head up the moonlit road, and his face was in the shade of his broad-brimmed hat She looked at him and put. her hand on his arm. “You don’t blame me, do you, Jack?” She felt the muscles stiffen under her hand. “No,” lie replied, almost gruffly, “I don’t.” She sighed. “He told me he would have more time in a few months, it would be different, and I said I didn’t want to wait any longer. T told him I was going to take up nursing and go to work in the hospital here—and that’s why I’ve done it. If I couldn’t have my husband I had to have some thing else to occupy my mind. 1 can’t bear to be useless, Jack.” “What did he say when you told him that?” asked Rives, quietly. 'He laughed—and told me to go ahead.” Again they rode on in silence for a brief time. “I suppose 1 am foolish." she said at last, in a wistful tone, "but some times I wish that Mac had never suc ceeded !n getting this tunnel plan through. He doesn't belong to me any more; he belongs to the world. I have to live in the light of his halo— and I’d rather live in the light of a fireside.” Rives abruptly pulled up his horse and turned. “Let’s go home.’’ he said. “I M glad you could get up here old man. The storm is about to break. Listen!" Up to them from the street, where hundreds of real estate brokers were gathered, came a steady roar. Al lan and Rives listened and smiled. "You certainly did some smooth work in a publicity line," said the latter. "It wasn’t smooth," disclaimed Al lan. a little resentfully, "and I didn’t do it. It just did itself. You know— but maybe you haven’t had time to see their stunts—but the viograph people have been among my best lit tle advertisers, and they have paid for the privilege. They have been showing pictures with miles and miles of beautiful houses and department stores and all the trimmings of a great I city along with their regular films | showing the progress of the work—all * labeled 'The Tunnel City of the Fu ture’ and ‘Tunnel City Ten Years From To-day.’ " To Be Continued To-morrow. By WILLIAM F. KIRK. I WAS reading an awful interest ing short story last night," said the Manicure Lady. "It was about them Aztecs, that used to have splendid palaces and everything fixed up in big league style down in Mexico. The story said that was many centuries ago. long before there was even anj Irish csjue to this country, and It said they was a splen did race, the men all tall and fair and handsome and the women regular unties. The hero of the story must have been about eight feet tall, be cause it said that be loomed head and shoulders above the tallest war riors of their army, and they wasn't none of them shorties.” "T never seen any very ta.ll Meorl- mpl" said the Head Barber* “That Mexican porter we had here wasn't any taller than Frank Daniels, and lie wasn't fair, either." “Oh. hut these people was long be fore the Mexicans we see nowadAvs." said the Manicure Lady "They was a superior race of people, like us, only bigger and T guess brainier They used to worship the sun, and I think that, showed they was a fine race, because anybody that worships the sun ain’t worshiping no minor league Idol. “I always thought if I had to wor ship anything except my family and my future husband I would worship the sun. The sun is so big and nice and warm. Rut I must tell you the sterv. The name of the hero was To. It Is a jerky sort of a name. lo. but all you have to do to remember it is to think of Iowa or an I. O. U. “Well, this Io is in love with the niece of a Aztec priest. Her name is Ilia, which you can remember by thinking of Illinois. That’s how I keep the two names so plain. The priest is a crusty old piece of work, and he doesn’t want Io to get Ilia because she has a lot of gold and precious stones which he has his eyes on. He says that the gell belongs to the sun and that he is the sun's agent, which the sun doesn't deny. “There is some beautiful lines in the story. When the priest tells Ilia that she cannot marry Io she says to him; ."‘Know this, oh priest of the sun! Before you there were many priests, and when thou passest beyond the purple horizon there will be many more priests to worship that orb of fire and beauty upon which we now fix our puny mortal gaze. My Io is my all. so handsome and so strong. No man like him in all this eountrv dwells. When in the morn he kfteels before the shrine, still is he ta'^r than the puny warriors at thy beck and call. It Is written upon the waves that roll eternally, written with the rays of the sun itself, that I be Io’s bride.’ "‘But Io like not.’ the priest, an swers. ‘I owe Io a lot of money, and he presses me sore. Tell him to can cel that debt, and his bride you shall be upon the day when I owe lo nothing.’ "The way the story ends, Io makes the sacrifice, and he lives happily with 111a until they both croak. Gee, George. I wish I had been living then. Tt was all so romantic and different then. Imagine the average young Atlantan passing up a lot of money to get the girl he loves. Not a chance! He is too busy finding out if his bride’s father is there with the fat bankroll. They didn’t think of money in them days, George.** "That young guy that just we_nt out doesn’t think much of money, either.’* said the Head Barger. “He didn’t think to give me a tip."
