THE Their Married Life By MABEL HERBERT URNER H ELEN was tired — tired and warm, and Just a little Irri table There Is nothin* more trying than continuous shopping and sight-seeing. By the large gilt clock over a Jew eler's window on the Rue de la Pals It was now half-past four. Helen paused undecidedly. She was too restless to go back to the hotel and wait two Ion* hours before Warren would come. She would *o somewhere and have tea—^hat would give her a chance to rest. The Ritz! Why not go there? She knew’ that to have tea on the terrace at the Rltz was one of the things "todo” while in Paris. When she reached the imposing en trance of this smart hotel. Helen wondered if her simple traveling suit might not be rather plain for tea at so pretentious a place. But at least, no one would know her. Helen was always Impressed by the atmosphere of appointments of a great hotel. When she wai with Warren, his assured "man of the world" air gave her confidence, hut now as she passed alone through the luxurious foyer and lounging rooms she felt both timid and self-con scious. The terrace, an Inner court garden, was gay with flowers and the red and white parasol-shaped awnings that shaded each table. It looked like a garden party on the stage, and a concealed orchestra, playing eoftly, heightened this inspiration. There was a small vacant table near the entrance and Helen took it hurriedly. She wished now' she had waited to come some afternoon when she was more appropriately gowned, for her dark, tailored suit seemed conspicuous among all those light summer dresnss of sllkj and chiffons. To Helen’s surprise, a waiter now- hurried up to her and began talking very fast In French Seeing that she did not understand, he rushed off and returned with an arrogant head waiter who spoke English. A Rebuff. "I’m sorry, madame, hut you can not sit here. This table is reserved." Helen fluohel. There was a subtle note of condescension in his voice which she sensed w'as due to her plain gown. "That Is also reserved." as she gathered up her purse and gloves and turned to another table "but 1 can seat you Inside." Intuitively Helen knew the tables were NOT reserved, but that he did not wish to give to her a desirable table that would seat four. For a moment she forgot her shyness and self-consciousness and turned to the pompous head waiter with blazing eyes. "Do you mean that every vacant table on this terrace Is taken?" "Yen, madame; but 1 will give you a table Ihside." With flaming cheeks Helen turned to leave the place. She felt that everyone wan looking at her. Oh, why had she come here? Why had ■he subjected herself to his embar rassment ? "I AM unfortunate! This Is one of the 'unexpected pleasures’ that don’t often happen." Startled. Helen turned to find be side her the man she had met in the Louvre. He looked even taller and more distinguished than uhe had re membered him. With increased con fusion she murmured some almost In audible greeting, "Please don’t say that you’ve al ready had your tea?" "No, I—I—’’ Helen’s eyes were still ■bias* "the waiter Just told me all I these tables were engaged." "Which waiter said that?” he de manded quickly. "The head waiter—the one that’s coming now," for that pompous Indi vidual was hastening toward them with a look of anxious concern. "Pierre, did you tell this ladv that all these tables w*ere engaged?" "The lady did not say that she was having tea with anyone, Mr. Ford- ham, and I — you see. we are so crowded this afternoon," apologeti cally. "and these tables Meat four. If the lady had onlv said—" But Mr. Fordham cut him short with an impatient. "Let us have serv ice here AT ONCE!" Before Helen realized It, they were seated at the same table which phe j had been asked to leave a few mo- | ments ago. But now both the waiter and head waiter were most solicitous In their attentions. Helen was still no furiously Indig nant over the incident that she could think of nothing else. It was not until they had been served that she was really conscious that she was having tea with a stranger. Should she have made some ex cuse" Was it a very unconventional thing to do? Yet she could not help feeling grateful for having been re lieved from so embarrassing a posi tion. Just then a brass-buttoned bell boy came up to their table. "You’re wanted on the phone, Mr. Fordham." Will you excuse me a moment?" turning to Helen. Her glance followed his tall, gray figure through the terrace and Into the corridor. So he was staying here! That accounted for his being so well- known. and for his being treated with Much solicitous courtesy — and his name was Fordham. Helen’s thoughts were In a whirl. Not since she was married had she dined or lunched or had tea with any man except Warren. Her glance fell on the straw hat and stick on the chair beside her. How lfke Warren's The same plain wood, crooked-handle ■tick, and even the maker’s name in the upturned hat was the Marne. She could hardly believe that it was not Warren who had been called to the phone. And the crumpled nap kin beside his plate—the very way \\ arren always threw down his nap kin. ‘I’m sorry to have had to leave you," he said, as he again took his place at the table, and laid the nap kin over his knee with Warren’s very gesture. Helen Anxious. "Won’t you have some fresh tea? I'm afraid that Is cold." "No -no," hastily. ‘Til not have time. I only came in here to rest for a few moments" "Do you know." again that per sonal note In his voice, "this is ihe first time I’ve ever been on this ter race? I never take tea. I had Juat come In and was going up to my room when something made me come out here Whe* form of mental teleg raphy would you call that?” "I hardly think you can dignify It by so pretentious a name,” Hushed Helen. "I would call It merely a chance meeting" With nervous fingers Helen was crumbling a bit of tea cake by her plate. The conversation was growing much too personal, She was trying desperately to think of something to say about her "husband’’ or "Mr Fur- tip." Dut she could think of noth ing that would Pound natural. "It's almost half-past five,” nerv ously taking tip her gloves "And I—" groping for an excuse, “I’ve an ear!v dinner engagement.” when the waiter brought the check he signed it. and topk up the hat and stick that looked so much like War ren’s. In a jtllence that was conscious and slightly strained they left the terrace and walked slowly through the now crowded lounge rooms that led to the street. Helen felt the moment of parting was going to be an awkward one She was trying to think how she could thank him In a very impersonal way. "My car Is outside," he said, quiet ly, "and I’m going to ask you to let me send you home. It will be quicker and more comfortable than a taxi." "Oh thank you," she said In hur- rled confusion, "but I shouldn’t want to trouble you to do that.” They were at the door now. he nodded to a liveried doorman, who blew a whistle, called out something in French, and the next moment a flittering private car backed out from the line of waiting vehicles In the street and purred up to the door. Helen drew hack protestlngly. "Oh no—no, really I—" "Are you going to refuse me so slight a favor?" The doorman had run down the steps and was expectantly holding open the car door Helen hesitated. To persist in refusing might seem more marked — a a though she was making too much of a slight courtesy. "Of course, T shall be very glad ’’ she stammered, "only I don’t want to inconvenience you.’’ Gave Her Address. The next moment she was In the car For an Instant he ht\]d her hand, then gave her address to his chauf feur, and the car gilded off. For the second time Helen had the picture of this man standing back with raised hat, as she drove away. But the ride to her hotel In the big, luxurious touring car was anything but a pleasure. She could think only of her confusion and the awkward ness of the last few moments How could she have refused the car without being rude? Yet, sup pose she should meet Warren an she drove up to the hotel—what would he think? Helen had not thought It necessary, when she had merely walked through a few picture galleries with a stranger, to mention it. But to havf ten with that same stranger and to be brought home In his car — that was different. Yet, after all, Mr Fordham had simply been courteous as might any American to another In a foreign country. When they drew up to the hotel, Helen \tns conscious of a sense of relief that Warren was not In sight. But as she ran up the steps she de cided that she would tell him about the tea. He certainly would not misunder stand so trivial an incident, and she would feel more comfortable If he knew.

For no great big beautiful doll is the stunning blonde Louise, but a sane, thoughtful and altogether very womanly woman.

GJLRSIDE. • COLLEAGUES (j)) A COMPLETE SHORT STORY A N early summer morning an old man was walking along the road between Brussels and Na mur. He was waiting for the stage coach, and, as it did not come In time, he had set out to meet It. As he had plenty of time, he care fully observed anything that met his eyes. At last he stopped to look at a painter who was standing on a ladder painting an appropriate sign for the inn of "The Rising Sun.” "I am sure," the old man thougn*, "that fellow considers himself the equal of Rubens, though he probably knows no more about perspective than a field mouse. Good Lord, how he puts on the skyblue paint!" He began to walk up and down tn front of the inn, as he might as well wait for the stage there as anywhere else. In the meantime the painter continued to put on blue paint, which irritated the old man awfully. When the painter once more dipped his brush in the blue paint, he could stand it no longer and growled quite aloud, "Too much blue." The painter stared at him from the top of his ladder and said verv calm ly: "I suppose you don’t see I am paint ing a sky "Of course, I see that you are trying to paint a sky. but you use too much blue, anyway." "Did you ever see a sky?” "Yes. but never a sky like that, I am sure.’l ' But this is supposed to be a clear blue aky at sunrise." "And I tell you that nobody but a fool would think of painting a sky blue at sunrise." "1 suppose you know all about it and yo\i would paint a sky without any blue." "I never said I was a past master in the art of painting skies, but I would certainly never use as much blue as you do," "Oh, you Ju»t keep your remarks to yourself, you old fool. I have painted signs for ‘The Red Horse,’ 'The Green Bear’ and ‘Charlemagne,’ so I should think 1 know my business.” "I don’t care anything about your 'Green Bear' and 'Red Horse' anl ‘Charlemagne.’ ” With these words the old man ran up the ladder as nimbly as if he had been 4ft years younger and began to wipe off the painting. The painter shook the ladder and shouted to him to come down at once, but the man continued his work of de struction. Havin'- destroyed the won derful blue sky, he used his index fin ger and painted threj peasants raising their glasses to a rising sun on a gray sky. One of the peasants was a vicious caricature of the painter at the foot of the ladder. Another Interferes. A number of people had come out from the inn. among these the inn keeper. and when they saw the pic ture they laughed aloud. The painter suddenly changed tune, took the^old man’s hand, and said: "1 see you are a professional, and I am very glad to make your ac quaintance." Just then a man who looked like an English tourist came up, looked at the sign, and said: "I want that sign; name your own price." "It is not for sale." said the painter, in a tone as if he had painted it him self "That is right,” said the Innkeeper: "It is not for sale, for It is already sold and partly paid for. It is my prop erty." "You are very much mistaken," said the sign painter. "My comrade has helped me to paint it and I may sell it to anybody I please." "Nonsense," said the Innkeeper; "it hangs on my house, so it is my prop erty." "You will have to prove that in court.” "I will sue you for breach of con tract.” "Walt a moment,” said a strong voice. It w’as the old man. "It seems to me I ought to have a word in this matter." "Right you are, comrade," said the sign painter. They continued quarreling, and the Englishman repeated his offer to cov er the painting with $5 bills. "But suppose I don’t want to sell it," said the real painter. "You must,” said the innkeeper. "1 am a poor man. You must let me have the profit." "Don’t you believe him.” cried the sign painter "He is an old miser, while 1 am the father of a family and you and I are colleagues.” "He is an old loafer w’ho spends every cent he makes, so he has not a copper for his daughter’s dowry.” “That is a lie My daughter Su- zette is engaged to an honest carpen ter who is to marry her in Septem ber." "A daughter that needs a dowry," cried the old man. "That Is some thing for me. I sell the sign and you get the money for your daughter’s dowry." "I will pay any amount you say,” said the Englishman, "if you will paint two words on the picture." "And what are those words?” "Pierre I>avid." Everybody arose and the sign paint er bowed his head to the great artist. "Forgive my impudence,” he said. "I did not know’ you." Pierre David shook his head and laughed heartily. The news of his presence spread quickly and Pierre David drank a glass with all of them. At last the sign painter’s daughter came, threw her arms around the fa mous artist’s neck, and kised him squarely on the mouth. "You have paid me more than full value for my work," Pierre David caid as he returned her kiss. (Copyrighted. 1»13, by Interactional News Berrio®.* TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. I N Canada Allan found peace. No one knew where he was. He had dropped completely out of sight. This naturally gave rise to the re port that he had gone the way of Wolf and Ransom and as he nevfr denied It, thousands believed that he had killed himself. But those w’ho worked In more or less contact with the great chief of the tunnel laughed at the rumors. They declared he would turn up again when he thought the right time had come. And, indeed, he turned up very mucfii sooner than w r as expected. Miss Lloyd was not entirely cor rect in her statement that New York had calmed down. It had not calmed—it had concentrated. The failure of the syndicate did not have the far-reaching effect that Lloyd and the others had predicted. This w’as due largely to the fact that condi tions were so bad at the time that nothing mattered much. Allan had not been the sole factor in bringing these conditions about. Nor had the tunnel been the sole factor. But. as is always the case, the most chining mark was picked for the weight of the blame. The newspapers, anxious to clear the tunnel enterprise Itself of the load of discredit under which it was buried, concentrated their attack cn Allan. Dally they declared that Allan, and Allan alone, was responsible for the failure—that he had given out mis leading figures—that he had made miscalculations—that he had delib erately deluded investors. In seven years the tunnel was not one-third complete, and he had promised the finished work in fifteen. They continued the merciless ham mering until finally Allan was indict ed for obtaining money under false pretenses. Three days later Allan arrived in New York and walked into the Dis trict Attorney’s office and surren dered bfmself. This was the first sensation. The second, to those who understood the tunnel situation, was even more im portant. The first offer of bail came from Lloyd, personally. The fact had hardly become known when the re ceiver of the syndicate also offered to become a bondsman. The public was amazed. It was a right about face for the tunnel masters. They had for months given every indica tion that they intended throwing Al lan to the wolves, and the moment he was about to be crushed they were first to come to his aid. To do them justice, or injustice, they had fully intended to Adhere to the original course and let Allan sink. Even Lloyd felt that it would he best to eliminate him. He never al lowed personal likings or obligations to weigh against a business necessi ty. But the great financier reck oned without his daughter, now a woman of past 30, and the one human being that he feared. In one evening’s talk she had forced her father into his reversal of position on the tunnel builder, and. of course, the others had to follow his lead. But Allan declined bail. He ex plained that be was not ungrateful, but that he would find more rest and quiet in the city prison than any where else in the State; and he had a lot of work to do, he said. All the time he was awaiting trial he workea on his plan to drive a single gallery as a pathfinder for the completed tunnel. The Trial. The trial lasted three weeks, and it was followed In detail all over the world. Lloyd retained the beet crim inal lawyers he could find to defend the accused man, and six of the most powerful legal intellects in the world were ranged behind him In the battle against the machinery of justice. Much of the testimony was too highly technical to be understood by the casual newspaper reader, but all of it was printed. Ethel Lloyd’s pic ture appeared in the papers dozens of times. She did not miss an hour of the trial and followed every move with keen understanding. The prosecution maintained that Allan h«d wilfully and knowingly in duced investors to part with their I money on the assurance that the tun nel would be in successful and profit able operation within fifteen years. I It was now conceded that this was impossible. The State contended that Allan had known from the beginning that this was impossible, and it in troduced plenty of expert and cir cumstantial evidence to back up Its case. The defense was that Allan had planned to finish the tunnel In all good faith within the time limit set, but he had been thwarted by acts of God, which could not be foreseen by man. In spite of the tremendous pres sure of public opinion it is likely that Allan would have been acquitted but for his uncompromising frankness. This was his undoing on cross- examination. The courtroom was jammed to the doors when Allan took the stand in his own defense. The direct exami- I nation was quiet but impressive and | brought out the almost superhuman efforts of Allan and his field officers to overcome tremendous and unex pected difficulties. Many in the audi ence were beginning to look at him with new sympathy when the District Attorney began his questions. "Mr. Allan," he said, "you pledged yourself to have the tunnel running In fifteen years, did you not?" "It would amount to that—a pledge. I mean." conceded the witness, with out the slightest hesitation. His law yers frowned. "That meant that you were to have regular trains running through the tunnel at the expiration of the fif teenth year?” "Yes.” "You were convinced that you would be able to finish the construc tion Inside of that period of time?" Instead of replying with a simple affirmative, Allan amazed his law yers and the audience with this re ply: "I was not exactly convinced. That Is too strong a word. I hoped that under favorable circumstances we would be able to complete the work In that time, or possibly even a little less" "Then in making this pledge you depended upon favorable circum stances ?” Instantly a short, round man who sat at the head of Allan’s counsel thrust In an objection. It had taken him these few seconds to rally him self after the shock of Allan’s pre vious answer. He was John Sands, the most celebrated trial law’yer in the world. “I object,” he snapped. "The wit ness has answered the question." "Overruled,” declared the court. Impassively. Another Objection. The District Attorney repeated his question. Allan hesitated an Instant, as If to frame his answer. "I was, of course, aware that un foreseen difficulties might arise,” he said, slowly. “I knew that under cer tain circumstances that construction work might take two or possibly three years longer.” "You were, then, as a matter of fact, convinced that the work would i probably take two or three years longer?" concluded the prosecutor. Mr. Sands was on hl9 feet in an in stant, his little stubby white beard thrust out. "Your honor,” he almost snarled. "I object to this line of questioning. The witness has already said that he be lieved the work could be done In fif teen years." "That’s just exactly what he hasn’t said,” retorted the District Attorney. "The objection is overruled; pro ceed,” said the Judge. He ordered the question read from the notes and courteously requested Allan to an swer it. "I didn’t say tha\ I was convinced that It could not be done in that time. On the contrary, I hoped to be able to do it—If all w'ent well." "If you were certain that you could finish the tunnel ” began the pros ecutor. Then he stopped and began again: "I am sure from your testi- INDIGESTION?

Atlanta, mony here, Mr. Allan, and from all that we have heard of you, you pride yourself on being a man of your word ?” "I do.” l * JEN. If you -were not certain that you could not finish the tunnel In fifteen years—if you knew that you could not finish it In that time unless all the circumstances were favorable, why did you make the positive statement that you coual do It?” "I object,” shouted Mr Bands, and Allen’s entire array of counsel rose masse behind him. The court listened patiently while Mr. Sands argued for ten minutes and fenced and snapped at the District Attorney. Then: "The question is perfectly proper," he ruled. More Admissions. "Grumbling angrily. Allan's counsel retired to their table, while the sen- ographer read the question again. For the first time Allan looked just a trifle uncomfortable. The anxiety of his lawyers probably caused this as much as his own realization of the direction in which the question wam leading. He stumbled and hesitated and the District Attorney cut In sharply. "As a matter of fact, Mr. Allan,” he cried, "you named fifteen years be cause you thought It would be easier to start your project if you fixed a comparatively short time-limit, didn’t you?” Again there was a chorus of ob jections, and again Allan was ordered to answer. "I suppose that had something to do with it," he admitted, In a low, even voice. The District Attorney threw a quick look of triumph about the court. "You knew that people would in vest more readily If you gave your pledge that the w’ork would be com pleted in fifteen years than if you said it might take eighteen or twenty or twenty-five—that you couldn’t tell how long It would take? Isn’t that so?" "I suppose it is.” The District Attorney turned to the court in triumph. “The people rest,” he said. Mr. Sands instantly swept Into a loud-voiced re-direct examination of the witness, but he could not get past the stumbling block of that first damaging admission that Allan had not been convinced that he coud finish the tunnel within the time limit set; and the case went to the Jury. The Jury was out three hours. It returned a verdict of guilty. To Be Continued To-morrow. j THINK we’ll have to move out l into the country, away from these rough neighbors!" sigh ed Sammy’s mother. "I thought when we moved out into this really nice suburb we’d be able to live in peace, but truly, the children are worse than ever! Sammy’s language is painful, at times!" Sammy’s mother hurried to the window as a shriek of anger rent the air. "Yes. there it is again! There’s poor little Sammy, who never knew’ what fighting meant, right in the thick of it! And just look—all thos>e boys attacking my poor child!" She ran downstairs. "Boys," she called, breathlessly. "You atop that this minute! Sammy, come here to mother!" She ran out into the street to meet her offspring, who slowly came toward her, walk ing backward, making grimaces at hi3 enemies. "He slapped my brother!” declared one boy to Sammy’s mother. "Don’t talk to me!" Indignation rang in Sammy’s mother’s tone. "I saw you—a lot of young cowards— actually pitching upon one little boy! ” "Aw. he’s older than all of us!” re turned the champion of his brother. Sammy and his mother returned triumphantly to the caller. "They were fighting—a lot of them attack ing Sammy," explained Sammy’s mother. "And he’s not been brought up to that sort of thing—poor child! ‘Til just have to go out where Sammy will be away from them! City children are all alike—you don’t know what to think of their parents!

"Sammy, dear, it’s not polite to do that before company,’’ expostulated his mother, gently, casting a smiling side glance at her caller. "It don’t hurt her none,” returned Sammy, earnestly searching for the wound. "Those darn kids, anyway— they kick!” He found the spot that felt sore. "Feel that, ma!" he urged, putting his shoe on her lap. "Yes, dear, mother’ll dress it for you soon. She spoke soothingly. "Gee, the kids are a bunch of softies,” disgustedly remarked Sammy to the caller. "They’re afraid to meet me alone, but they go get all their brothers and friends to help—and no wonder the bunch can lick me. But I could do up any one of them single handed! They" "Sammy!" His mother spoke in a shocked tone. "Why will you repeat all those aw’ful things you learn on the streets!” Sammy laughed, glancing apprecia tively at the caller. "Why, ma,” he said, "the bunch in this neighborhood don’t know’ what I mean when I talk plain English, they’re so flossy! They teach me! Huh, I could teach their father’s a few things!"

He’s so unselfish, and they take advantage of it, until he has to take a stand, poor child! He ought to be out w’ith the flowers and birds —his sensitive nature is being ruined here!"
