Dora Stanton paused in the midst of her ironing to gaze wearily at the heap of unfinished clothes in the basket. She was so tired she would like to put the rest away, but there was that pink dress of Mollle's to be gotten ready and shirts for the boys and their father. Mechanically she started to iron again, occasionally stopping to wipe the beads of perspiration that gath- ered on her hot forehead. Once in a while a cool breeze reached her from the open window, but the kitchen was unbearably hot. ! The door bell rang, and as she | turned to answer it she brushed back 1 8 few loose strands of gray halr with | her hand. There was no life in her movements, every bone in her body ached and cried out for rest. “Martha!" she exclaimed, as she rec- ognized her visitor. “Yes, Dora,” the other sald, “are you surprised? Didn’t you get my letter?” “I got your letter yesterday, but have been so busy that I haven't found time to read it,” Dora replied. “Well, I am sure that’s a nice thing to do with a sister's letter,” Martha answered, and followed her sister to the kitchen. “Haven't you got it hot in here, Dora?” she exclaimed. “And mercy, look at that pile of ironing! No won- der you look all dragged out. What are you trying to do to yourself?” Her sister smiled wearily. “Did you think I had nothing to do but sit down?” she asked. They fell to talking of other things and Martha told of how she had writ- ten she was coming for a few weeks’ rest, “but I am sure if anyone needed rest it's you,” she concluded. Supper that night was unbearable to Martha. She couldn't see her sister slaving so for her family. This for John, that for Dick, this for Mollie! It was really wicked for Dora to work brotherinJaw Martha felt a rush of resentment toward him for calmly ac- cepting all of his wife's attentions to the entire neglect of herself. | “No wonder he looks so fine,” she thought. “He is at least five years older than Dora and looks ten years younger.” Supper ended, Martha expected her sister to sit down and rest, but Mollie, aged twenty years, couldn't help with the dishes as she was going out. “Mother, did you firon that pink dress I told you to?” she asked, and on | being told “Yes,” went to get it. The next minute she was calling to her mother that there was a button off. “Why didn’t you sew it on, mother?” she cried. “I didn't have time, Mollie,” her mother replied. +' dried her hands and went to the foot ! of the stairs in answer to a call from her husband. “Say, Dora, where's that i blue and white shirt of mine?” he ' queried. “] didn’t get it done, John; it was ! 8o hot today, and I felt tired.

When she came downstairs agaln, after having settled the affairs of the family, she washed the dishes. gister was sitting waiting for her. “My sakes, Dora, if this is what you go through every day it’s a wonder that you are not dead. Why do you wait on them so? But Dora told her that she had done it as long as she could remember, and it wasn’t any use in stopping it now; it was her duty. “Well, I would like to know what { they would do if anything happened to you,” Martha said, “and you owe it to them and to yourself to take bet- ter care of yourself.” The next day was a repetition of the other, and Martha Endicott had hard work to keep from saying what she thought.

A neat maid opened the door, and in an- swer to her question as to whether Doctor Morton was in, the doctor him- self stepped out of his office. “Why, Martha Endicott, how do you do!” he exclaimed, and laughingly asked herdf she had come to see him because she was sick. Martha, a pie- ture of health, joined in the laugh, and began to tell him her real reason for coming. “Dora is just killing herself for her The Cost of Living is fireat\ Unless You Know Where to Buy family, Doctor Morton, and what's more, she is a most willing martyr, as she believes it is her duty. Now, I want you, as an old friend of the fam- ily, to help me save her from herself,” and Martha explained her plan to him. “Come this afternoon and pronounce her very ill. Give the sickness some mysterious name, and leave some harmless medicines for her; frighten her Into taking care of herself and | prescribe absolute quiet and rest, and I will attend to the family.” “Juget the thing, Martha,” the doctor answered. Martha got back without being missed, and later, going into Dora’s | room and finding her awake, she put [ her hand on her sister's forehead and | exclaimed that her head was hot, and | that she was going to call the doctor. “Nonsense, Martha,” Dora satd. I Later in the afternoon Doctor Mor- | ton called, and his grave looks andl mysterious words frightened Dora into : submission. “But 1 don't feel sick, | doctor,” she declared. “I am only tired.” “That is just how your kind of sick- ness affects people,” the doctor told | her. “You could go on and on until the end without noticing fit, but now that you have taken this in time, I be- lieve a few weeks' rest will soon put you on your feet again. Now I want you to promise me to do as I tell you.” | Martha eot supper ready that night, | and as John and the children came home, met all their questions regard- ing the mother with a finger on her lips and whispers accompanied by very | grave looks, Her brother-dinlaw grew very anx- ious as he looked at his wife in bed and saw the row of medicine bottles on the little table beside her. He sat | holding her hand long after Martha left them. Mollie surprised her aunt by taking hold at once and helping to get the dishes done and the house tidied. while the two boys chopped and brought in an enormous pile of wood for their aunt's use. Doctor Morton called every day, and at the end of a week decided that Dora could zet up and walk about her room. John Stanton was happy to see his wife up once more, listened eager- ly to the doctor's instructions and readily promised to follow them; Mol- lie and the boys were taken into their aunt's confidence, and willingly agreed to all she suggested After ancther week of resting Dora was pronounced cured, but the doctor warned her to be careful not to over- work, as that would put her health in danger, and Dora, feeling as if born anew after her weeks of rest, was too | anxious to keep her precious health to disobey him. In spite of the fact that he had de clared his patient entirely cured, Doc- tor morton continued to call, and Aunt Martha’s rosy cheeks grew even rosier with his 5 One day he found her alone In the garden, and taking both of her hands in his he told her the old, old story. “Martha, you were just made to man- age people, and I need to be managed.
