BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, News for Theater Goe A STORY YOU CAN BEGIN AT ANY TIME Her Side---and His how Cora and David Temple Solved Their Marital Froblems By ZOE BECKLEY Life Ove rflowing David came home at 2 o’clock one morning from a feverish meeting of city officials. His mind was still seething with burning issues and prob- lems of public welfare when he passed Cora's room softly on the way to his own. It came to him as a shock that he had not had ten minutes alone with Cora for the last four days. A surge of not remorse, but surprise, came over him, which, with the longing he felt for her at that moment, made him stop dead.and ask himself, “Why have I secen her so rarely of late?” A second’s thought made him realize, of course, Imperatively absorbed him. The election of the City Club ticket had not been the end of war against corruption, but the beginning. David had not been awarded the booty of war, but had been made a general with a hard campaign to wage. Between the demands of his work and the demands of his love one of them had to suffer. His work called him. But just as strong to him was the companionship of Cora; and stronger still was her need of him he knew. Here she was the dearest human being in the world to him pre- paring to risk her very life for the consummation of their love, needing his subtlest companionship, his tenderest care. And for four days he had not given her ten minutes. He himself so longed to be with her .that even with the clearest knowledge of what had kept him away he still felt mystified why he had not spent every minute of his time with her. He had a wretched feeling of being “ineffectual,” of not being able to take care of two important things at the same time. He was afraid to wake his wife, yet he could not bear to go without a touch of her presence. He opened the door to her room noiselessly for a glimpse of her “Davey!” she called softly. She had not been asleep. Contritely he came to her and zave an account of what had so taken him up in the last four days. “But, dear, no matter how often I have thought of you and wanted to be with you and I'm sure it's been dozens of times each day—somehow I could not——" “Oh, have you thought of me and wanted to come?” interrupted Cora with pathetic eagerness and a tiny tremor in her voice. “Well, then, dear, old boy, that goes far toward solviny my problem of—well a little lone- liness maybe. I don’t want to be unreasonable or one of those pecvish wives always whining for companionship and attentions. I know how you are taken up in this new work and I glory in what you're doing for the people. If—if I felt just a—a little alone Dave, it was because I thought I was—a little forgotten. That's the very essence of loneliness, dear; the awful feeling that the people you love not only can't be with you, but aren’t with you even in their thoughts, But now,” she added with a heartened tone that struck David deep to the heart because it showed him she had been very, very lonely and was so wistfully eager to be cheered, “now, when you're away or upstairs working I shall feel com- panioned knowing you often run in to see me in your thoughts.” “Run in to see you?” repeated David, a sudden idea flashing into hig mind. “Fine! I'll do it—youll see.” In the days and weeks that followed his work was constantly punctu- ated with little flecting attentions to Cora, and he had a lot of fun into the bargain. He found a dozen ways of “running in on her. A short, chgery, phone message from city hall, or from out of town, or from long, tire- some meetings. Little hasty notes full of “love stuff.” Frequent boxes of flowers or baskets of fruit. Little humorous gifts that came under his no- tice as he passed shop windows. Clippings from newspapers that would be of special interest, message from city hall, or from out of town, or from long, tiresome meetings, door, no matter how hurried he was. The result was Cora felt he was always with her, and David’s heart smote him to have thought of it hefore. For it was so easy to do and took all the dreariness from her periods of solitary waiting. that his work had A Queer Trick With the exception of very small children, every one in the world knows that he cannot stay in it in- definitely. But almost no one realizes it Death in the abstract, is some- thing with which we are on perfect- ly familiar terms, but when it comes to death in connection with our- selves, we prefer to relegate it to the dusty, unvisited garrets of the mind. And is it not fortunate that this is 8s0? We Couldn’t Be Happy If We Really Sensed It. How could we be really sensed the death? We couldn’t. Doubtless Nature has deliberately provided us with this mental ag- tigmatism to keep us busy and happy in our business. All of which leads up to an aston- ishing habit, which I have noticed on Another woman once asked me if I were to inherit a family heirloom of which T have always been very fond. When I told her that the matter had never been mentioned, she said, “I shouldn’t think you'd like that. I'Ve made mother prom- ise I should have all the old pieces I'm especially fond of.” There may be some who think I'm unduly finical to depreciate these ref- erences, but I think the older people will understand. It’s Easy Enough When Your Yuong. It is comparatively easy to con- template death when one is young because it seems so remote, but older people know that while ‘“the young may die, the old must” and they hate anything that brings the thought home to them. On the other hand, I do think the older folks owe it to the younger generation to anticipate anything like this cold-blooded demand for g happy if inevitability we of and he were soon to be married. | ried, | voice robbed the words of any { lawn, { day here in Marvin. the part of otherwise loving children, of referring in their parents’ presence to the time when their parents will no longer be with them.

A Country “Estate.” “Vell,” Katie went on, “you tell dot Brennan get his tings out of dere, den my Jim he feex dat all up nice for little house for me and Jim.

Vot you tink?” I looked at her in a dazed sort of fashion. ceal of thought upon elaborating this plan of hers, but it had taken me so much by surprise that for a moment or two I could not think what to say to her. Then the full realization of what it ali meant flashed over me. I had al- ways loved the country, had always longed to live in it in the winter. If this plan of Katie's were only feasible it would solve all my problems. The city was but an hour's ride away. True, we were half a mile from the station, but the taxl cab charges were very moderate, and as for Dicky and me, the walk to and from the station, except in stormy weather, was just what we needed. self T would have assented joyfully at once to Katie’s proposition, but I had Loth Dicky and his mother to con- sider, I had no idea what attiude Dicky would have, but I had a pretty shrewd notion that his mother would oppose the proposition strenuously if for no other reason than to annoy me because of the rebuke I had given her concerning her treatment of Jim and Katle the preceding evening. As I looked up from my delibera- tions T caught Katie’s big brown eyes fixed upon me with a dog-like de- votion in their depths that was a Tevelation to me. prise that the girl actually loved me, and that not even the jay of her prospective marriage to Jim had com- pensated her for parting with me. I put my hand on her shoulder affectionately. The Haunting Phrase. “I think that plan would be very nice, indeed, Katie,” I said, “and I Wwill think it over. It would just suit me, but I do not know what Mr, Gra- ham and his mother will say to it.” “Dot old vomans she not like it,” Katie rejoined, and her tone showed that she had not forgotten the affront my mother-in-law had put upon her the night before “but Meester Graham, he ea: You joost spik nice to him, lof him, say you vant stay out here, e do joost vot you want.
