Celia thought of a hundred things

all her surface fears, the real fear
the fear that had been growing from
a tiny thing to a great bulk without
form or substance for these many
weeks, stirred her pulses sluggishly,
then more insistently, until it seem

Strangle her. There was something
wrong; there had been something
wrong for a long time. Was she to

The old - and (well known ballad,
"Keep the Home Fires Burning," at
last has lost its music. In New York
it is no longer a song. J It's a desper
ate shriek. Among the ashes of ev
ery mans honje or shack are to be
found the relics, of things which once
cluttered up the old home.
. Here and there one hears ' the rip
and .crash i of a forgotten relative's
picture, which is skidded into
the mid-drift of the hungry open fire,
little Willie's ancient and shell bat
tered toys are slammed into the trick
heater and everywhere there is an at
mosphere indicating that anything
may go, if the coal fails to arrive. -
Pessimists whbse eardrums have
been tortured for years have adjusted
phonographs so they fit any . furnace
arid some of the loudest records ever
recommended by the singer have giv
-.. the. .flam of the . multitude meat
and endurance. Golf clubs disappear
in. a most mysterious . manner from
talk infested country homes, and hard
ly ar celluloid collar glistens today in
the great metropolis.-
Nothing is safe. Old receipts, Ger
man flags, telephone books, self start
ers, coats of arms grass carpets,
brown derbies, Christmas neckties and
hand-embroidered shirts all go into
the 'open maw. For New York must
be kept hot under the collar.'
Subdued tango feet have resulted
from the war. The, noise of the jaz
is as. raucuous in the 'gilded dansants
arid there are just as many of the
rogueishly 'rouged and buoyantly bun

city of men. They are off to the wars.

-The world was asleep. Where was
Philip? ' . "
, These Jfour years of her married
life passed in review before her swift
ly, like 'a moving picture. The two
had been very happy together. Some
times Philip had scolded her rbecause
she had Wanted some extravagant
thinjfi but always she had won ' by
coaxing. 5 She understood little of the
value of money; and Philip had tried
patiently to teach her, -. ;
: "I am not rich like your father. I
never shall be, I haven't the faculty
for making - money. ; You must learn
todo without things to live on what
I earn." . ' :. . .
She remembered that she had sulk
ed at that. .- . -o, 7, '7. -t - - v-, .;
' "I will ask father for some;- he
would " " " v - , "
But Philip had turned on her sharp-
iy. ' - ' : "7 -
"You will never . ask your father
for one cent, Celia." .
Yet finally he had always managed
to get her what-she wanted, the house
they were living in, which-he had in
sisted ..entailed too liigh a rent,, . the
two maids, her new fur coat, the -big
dome In the library how had ho
managed to do it? Her fear soiled
upon the question she had always
evaded until now.. It grew, and grew,.
and began to take tangible shape, like
the horrible genie in the Arabian
Night's tale that rose put of the fish
erman's yellow copper vase. 7
Then a key clicked in a lock,' and a
second later Philip came slowly in.
"Philip," she cried, and choked.
He drew back from her, leaning
against the door.For many years af
terward she remembered that awful
moment as they faced each other.
"It is nearly morning, Philip. I I
was frightened," she stammered.
"I came hear not coming home ...at
all," he said thickly, and he did not
lower his voice.
She closed the door into Jack's
room. -

"How do you like- that?"

realizing a word that he said.

The First Cry
Every woman's sym
pathy responds to tha
sweetness of a baby's
Tolce. The little cry
that echoes with th
arrival of the new
baby is perhaps the
fondest and most cher
ished recollection of
our lives. - ' ,
Thousands of moth
ers owe their pres
ervation to health and
strength to the wonderful preparation
"Mother's Friend". ' This is an externa
application which is applied to the " ab
dominal muscles. It relieves the tension,
prevents tenderness and pain at the .crisi
and enables the abdomen to-expand -gently.
The muscles contract naturally after baby
arrives and the form is thus preserved.
It should be " applied daily, night and
morning, during the period of expecta
tion. Its . Influence on the fine net
work of .nerves and ligaments' Just? be
neath the skin Is wonderful. It renders
them pliant, and in this .way aids nature
to expand the abdomen without the usual
strain when baby is born.
You will: find' this wonderful . prepara
tion on sale at every drug store. '"Mother's
Friend'" is prepared oy the Bradfield Regulator-Co.,

to , make herself, fit in as of old,, but
she, could not, though she - made des
perate: efforts.' -She seemed to have
outgrown herald ideas. Her mother's
showiness irritated. her. Jler father's
prosperity and riches angered her. i
The tragedy of Philip's homecom
ing that night, his flight, and the fall
of their house of cards . had wakened
her sharply. Every word that he had
said was vividly before her now, hour
by hour. She could not get away from
them. . ; . ;v (- '7 J "
; The . summer . dragged into autumn,
the autumn into ' wintertv the winter
into spring again. Gradually, out of
loneliness, and misery; and. " longing,
the soul of Celia, the. wife and mother,
was born anew. She could see clearly
where" she .had ,tangledthe thread of
her life and" Philip's; where she had
taken advantage of his love for her,
of his boyish weakness; arid betrayed
him "for heF"self ish " vanity for. child
ish tinsel, arid glittering, worthless
baubles." - - r -
But it was too late . now. She- had
made him a thief andJ an outcast. . He
would never come back nowto face her
father. Perhaps if she were by her?
self he might come, but never here in
her .'old home. -
She began to want him with a lovo
that she had never knownbef ore. Sb.3
began to feel the bond between them,
stronger now that they jwere apart
than it had been when they were to
gether. Above- all, she was Philip's
wife, and Jack was his son. Inthelr
foolishness they had made mistakes,
he and she; but hers was the greater
transgression. Yet she had sent him
away without a sign; she had delib
erately put the world between them.
The day that it became clear to her,
Jack was playing with a new electric
railroad! in the room Teyond, as she
called him suddenly. ,-
He came romping into the rooin;
"Would you like to live in the coun
try, little son?" she asked.
He shook his curly head.
"Can. I take my railroad?' he asked
doubtfully.
"Perhaps." -
"And my wheel?"

Even Jack was learning fast that he
must have everything that he wanted.
He was riot a poor man's son, Phillip's

wife, A-1 r- . . . - 4
Biindly now'sho- began : her. search.
For weary,; hours 1 she - walked the
crowded streets, her .heart In her eyes.
Often , a ; gesture,, an expression; on
some passing face; startled her weak
ly, but It was never Philip. ' Perhaps
Graham Fancher," Philip's employer;
might knowbut she was ashamed to
go to him' - , ;
' One desolate day shljmet Agnes, the
maid of whom she had been fondest,
and they jtalked together,; a long tlriie.
Agnes was raarrie'd now, "and evident
ly . quite . conterit. v "
, , "He does not earn much," the girl
said simply, "but we do notTnlnd. He
is a. good boy. .The rent is .small out
in Kensington and cheap, "but the
country is growing "green,; and it is

"May I come to, see you?" Celia ask
ed abruptly. .
Agnes J6hnson grew a rosy red.
"I'd be glad to; have .you," she said.
Celia went eagerly, arid there she
learned the rest. kerv lesBon. r 7 ,
Agnes! three small rooms were tidy
and clean iThe good, brown bread
was wholesome and sweet. Low wages
and high prices on necessities ..made
life a hard arid . dull thing, but love
and companionship added . the rose,
and the gold and the glory.
Two weeks later Celia settled -her-self
and Jack in the : cottage next 10
her former maid's.' A tiny Income of
her own, left by a doting grandparent,
would not allow of much furnishings,
and. Jack cried himself to sleep for
three nights because the rooms were
cold, arid there, was no deft, patient
nurse to untie his strings and unbut
ton his buttonsr-..
Her father had grimly given her six
months to grow tired of her whim;.
her mother had given her even less.
Celia could not have explained ..her
reasons to them if she had tried. They
were too complex. ,
She had only a blind feeling that
now she was where she should be as
Philip's wife living in humility and
poverty.' Philip's child must- be
brought up as a poor man's son. -He
must learn to do without, even as she
resolved to learn.
Perhaps some flay though she tried
desperately to keep the hope down
Philip might come back. He might
forgive her and realize that she was
trying , to undo .the mistakes of the
past. But she. could ;never undo them,
though she endured patiently. That
must be her, punishment.
