Nellle bad always thought Flinders’ sarcastic expression was cute to a de- gree but tonight as she saw his steady gase fixed on her, as if he suspected disloyalty to his' master, she hated the curl of his lip above his row of little white teeth—she bated Flinders be- cause he was Bob's dog. ¥ | It had been a miserable day, a day . like a hundred others since she had $ | married Bob Page. Bob had left hasti- Iy to catch his train into town and Nellte knew that he had scarcely tasted the wretched breakfast which was the best she could prepare after several months of experimenting in the kitchen. Nellle Page was like thousands of other girls in her station in life. Her father made just enough money to keep his daughter’s hands free from the “sofl” of housework, to save her from the drudgery that her mother had suf- fered when they were first married. Henry Borden had so provided that Nellie could have accomplishments of a showy sort, depending upon the beauty and charm of his daughter to consummate the sort of marriage that would lift her above all the petty de- talls of economy and housework. There- fore.Nellle Borden was & brilliant planist and could sing prettily; could paint a little, embroider exquisitely, could make a concoction of creamed eggs In the chafing dish—and that was all. Nellle didn’t fall in love with a man |who could immediately place her at the head of a retinue of servants who might relieve her of any responsibility in the home-making. Nellle fell in love with a struggling young lawyer and Bob Page was struggling, slipping, sliding, scrambling to keep a foothold on the running board of an overcrowd- ed profession. But he stayed there though he had to wait for his money jand that made them behind with their lle grew peevish and Bob became more tired and careworn as the months went around and he saw how impossible it ‘was for a poor man to make any head- way when he had a wife who loathed stand how to do it properly, who couldn’t prepare a meal fit to be eaten and who persistently reminded him that they were poorer than their neighbors. Nellie Page was slowly becoming that most unfortunate of women, a discontented wife, and Bob was being as slowly disillusioned of his dreams of love in a cottage. Nellie reread a letter she had re- celved from her mother that morning. In the epistle Mrs. Borden had said to take a little southern trip and if it were not for the fact that Bob needed his wife at home they would take Nel- lle with them. Nellle rebelled now because she could not go. She had nothing to wear and she was ashamed to tell her father that Bob was so slow about colecting his bills. Suddenly she jumped to her feet and tossed the letter into the waste basket. She looked at the clock and saw that it lacked two hours of Bob's homecoming. “I'l do fit—it will frighten him well—and serve him right!” For a half hour Nellie Page worked dbusily and at the end of that time she packed a suit case, dressed herself for & journey and sat down and scribbled & note to her husband. She wrote it in pencil on a scrap of paper and she managed to convey within a small space and in a few words all her dis- content with their mode of life and her disappointment in him and she told him that she was going away. That was all. This note she placed on his deek in the living-room, exchanged one deflant look with Flinders, and went out of the house. She was vexed that she had to walk the quarter of a mile to the rallroad station. One of her neighbors passing swiftly in a motor car, apparently did not see her and Nellie’s discontent with life was deepened. There were not many persons going into town on that train but the woman in the motor and another one who lived next door ‘to the Page's subur- ban cottage were in the same coach and in the semi-darkness of the win- ter afternoon sat down in the seat be- hind Nellie without recognizing her. She pulled her thick veil more closely around her face and leaned back against the big fur collar of her coat. The train started and the voices of the women in the rear were lifted with unconscious clearness so that Nellie Page heard every word that was said. “Jack says he will put the case im the hands of Mr. Page—he thinks Bob Page is a clever lawyer and bound to get to the front.” “i he isn't too heavily handi- capped!” was the other woman's start- ling remark. “Handicapped? wife.” “Yes—1 long to shake her, times. 1 wonder how a sensible, am- bitious young man such as Bob Page was, ever fastened himself to such a ball-and-chaln affair as his wife has turned out to be. She's a pretty girl, too, in a way.” “Discontented looking. She ought to be thankful to have gotten such a clean, whole-souled husband as Bob Page. He's one in a thousand.” “Looks awfully seedy and down nowadays.” “What man wouldn't when he has 10 -belp. mith- the~ bousework .every Oh, you mean his some- butcher and baker and grocer and Nel- . housework because she did mot under- ' that she and her husband were about ' lil'th': DI you Teai (Kat she imade a soup out of smoked beef—the aved rort, you know?" Sometody told me—wasn't it ab- surd? 1 wonder who ate it?" They both laughed. “She gave it to her laundress, and the woman told our Nora.” “What right has a woman to get married it she doesn’t know how to take care of a house and make her husband comfortable?” “No more right than a man has to marry when he can't support & wife. ! But Bob Page is certainly bolding up | Ihh end.” “She doesn’t play fair in the matri- monial game,” was the other woman's comment. “I suppose she would be thunderstruck to think that he was disfllusioned—I'll wager you he's sick and tired of married life already.” “It will end in divorce,” declared the | first speaker decidedly, as they arose and went toward the door for just then the train came to a standstill in the big station. Stunned by the realization of her own position in the matter, as re vealed by the thoughtless chatter of her neighbors, Nellle Page walked out of the train and into another one that was due to leave in five minutes. One thought whirled around giddily in her mind. She must hurry home and de- | stroy that dreadful note she had writ- ten to her husband. She must never let him realize what a selfish, unreas- onable woman he had married. What, she asked herself, over and over again as the train sped toward home, i what had she contributed toward the happiness of their home? i\ NOMINATION COUPON. / is i led out, When this coupon 1S fil 3 brought or mailed to the Contest Manager it will entitle nominee to 5000 votes.

Conner & O’Steen Postofice Next Door to Us Suppose anything happened to Bob before she had a chance to tell him that now she knew what was Wrong she would work hard to make it right —she would take cooking lessons—she would study the housekeeping maga- zines. The more she pondered the greater was her wonder that Bob had ever married her; she marveled that he had been so patient. Suppose, after all his love for her was dead—that he was, as the women on the train had suggest- ed, disillusioned. What would her life be without Bob’s love and devotion? Thoroughly frightened and remorse- ful and hating herself for her blind- ness Nellie Page fairly ran down the street toward home. Her heart almost ' stopped beating when she saw a light in the sitting-room window. Bob must be home. He had taken an earlier train and by this time he had found her note and read it and—Nellie did not dare think of the look he would give her. The front door was unlocked and she slipped noiselessly in and dropped her tell-tale bag in the hall closet. Then she stood unnoticed in the door- way and looked at her husband with questioning scared eyes. Bob was playing with Flinders who frisked heavily around his master, barking sharply as Bob waved a crum- pled scrap of paper to and fro over the dog's head. It was the note. He had read it. Nellie leaned against the door, a sud- den faintness assailing her. Bob must have cared little for her if he could give her note to the dog for a , plaything. | All at once Flinders saw her, her body stiffened and he stood rigidly watching her, his head poised on one side, the little black sneer curling his Up: | “Woof!" sald Flinders and tore across the floor to meet her as he used to do in the days before she re- buffed him. “What is it?” and Bob turned quick- 1y, to see his wife staring dumbly at him. “What is the matter, sweet- heart?” he asked, gaining her side. | “The note, did you read it, Bob?" she gasped, pointing to the scrap of paper he held and which was now i nicked around the edges by the playful | teeth of Flinders. “Was it a note?” asked Bob, sur- prised. “Why, no. When I got home I found Flinders chewing this scrap of | paper into a ball and we've been play- i ing with it.” He smoothed it out a lit- tle and then shook his head over the half obliterated characters. “It was written in pencil and 1 guess Flinders has chewed all the sense out of it,” he declared, tossing the paper into the waste basket. Nellle was down on the floor her arms around Flinders whom she was hugging. She turned a rosy face up to her husband. “Oh, Bobby, dear, it ever you're tempted to write a perfect- 1y silly, unjust note to anybody—just write it in pencil and leave it around for Flinders to destroy!"” Then Nellie Page crept into her hus- band’s loving arms and told him the ‘whole story. “Because it will take both of us to play the matrimonial game—and play | 1t fairly,” she said, in the light of her { new understanding. l | \ Not for Him. “Look here, Dinah,"” said Binks, as he opened a questionable egg at break- fast, “is this the freshest egg you can find?" “Naw, suh” replied Dinah. done got a haff dozen laid diss mornin’, sith, but de bishop’s comin’ down hyar fresh aigs for him, Weekly. 810 THAT COUGH Don’t let l BY HENLEY AND HENLEY “We | next month, suh, and we's savin’ all de | sub."—Harper's | There is no Getting Away From It.- Our Laundry Work is RIGHT, and we get it there ON TIME too.
