THE SUNDAY BEE: OMAHA. JUNE 25. 1922. Married Life of Helen and Warren Helen's Strategic Efforts to Collect Debt Prom Hr Evasive Sitter-ln-Ltw, "Dor, I'm going to speak tbout it!

"She" jiut forgotten she'll think of it." he alwaya defended hii titter. "I'm not to cure she's forgotten. Carrie hai a very convenient mem ory." Muli, you've alwayt got it in for her. Ncvrr niit a chance to "Sh-h, she'll hear you," cauticuied Helen. "Do give me a clrar wire, central,' hrilly from the library. "Hello? That you Lawrence. I'm staying in for dinner. I'll be home on the 9:40." The next moment Carrie flourved into the front room with a fretful, "You can't hear a thing over that phone. 1 it always like that?" "Lang distance it never so dis tinct," resented Melon. "You don't call Last Lynwood Ions distance?" "The telephone company bill it as long distance," pointedly, for Car rie was always calling up her home and never thinking of the 30-cent toll. Ordinarily Helen did not care, but this was the second call within an hour. Betides, the thought of that 58 rankled more and more. It was two months now since they had gone shopping, when Car rie, running short of money, had pair of oxfords at Ardman's charged to Helen's account. "What is that smell?" sniffed Car rie. "You don't let her use garlic?" "Sometimes a very little with roast lamb," defended Helen. "I won't allow it in the house I The verv odor makes me sick." "Aw, come off," grinned Warren. "You've eaten garlic here many a time." His sister's tart denial was inter rupted by Nora announcing dinner. As they went in. the table looked most attractive. Helen's use of the good china and silver when CarYie dined with them was not an expres sion of glowing hospitality, but of the "housekeeping feud" that existed between them. The tomato bisque was really de licious, though a slight curdle was perceptible. "If she'd put a pinch of soda in this before she stirred in the cream it wouldn't have curdled," instructed Carrie with her most exasperating air. "I've told her that," flushed Helen. "She usually makes it very smooth." The roast lamb brought on. War ren carved into it with hungry energy. "You like it well done, don't you, Carrie?" "Yes. but I can't bear garlic. Cut me as inside piece a very little." "Guess you can get away with that." slashing a thick generous slice. Helen welcomed the vegetables. There was nothing Carrie could criti cize in the flaky riced potatoes and the small, tender string beans. "Oh, while I think of it, Wardner's are having a sale of bed linens this week. Are they good on linens? I need some sheets." "Mrs. Stevens buys all her linens there," observed Helen. Then catch ing at this opening, "Oh, how did you like those oxfords you got at Ardman's?" "They were all right," disinterest edly. "I want some extra long sheets for Lawrence's bed. He likes them to turn way over so the blanket can't touch him. A hundred and eight in chesisn't that the longest that's made?" "I believe it is." Then with point ed persistency. "What did you pay for those oxfords? I was thinking of getting a pair." "Seven something, wasn't it? War ren. I'd like some of that jelly." "Oh, yes. it was seven ninety eight," recalled Helen with undue emphasis. "Yes, something like that. This the apple jelly you made last year?" Was Carrie deliberately ignoring her hints, or had she really for gotten? Had the debt been the other way, her memory would have been most acute. The only time she had ever owed Carrie was for a "dutch treat" matinee. As soon as they were settled in their balcony seats, Helen had started to pay. for her ticket, but had only a $10 bill. And before the final curtain Carrie had rushed off to catch the 5:30. The next Sunday she and Law "jnce had driven in for the after 't$on, and her first remark as she laid off her wraps was: "Oh, by the way, Helen, don't forget you owe me a dollar and a half for that matinee." Helen had handed her an envelope marked, "Carrie," with a defensive: "I laid this out so I wouldn't forget. I try to be very exact about money." And now for two months Carrie had owed her this $8, and she was deliberately ignoring every in timation to recall the debt. With inflamed resentment, Helen made one more suggestive reminder. "Have you seen those new bronze pumps with the one strap? I've been wanting a pair, but I'm waiting till next month. I've had so many things charged at Ardman's lately and last month's bill was something awful 1" "She didn't exert herself stringing these beans, was Carries response. "I haven't found any strings in mine." curbinc her indignation. "I can't eat beans that aren't strung well they get into my teeth. Oh. that reminds me, I forgot to call up the dentist I've got that ap pointment in the morning, ana I can't go. I'd better call right now I'll catch him at his dinner before he goes out," throwing down her nap kin. Another 30-cent call to the East Lynwood dentist 1 "Dear, it's an imposition, flamed Helen, as Carrie hurried into the II - brmry. "For the love of Lulu, don't be so blamed small V growled Warren. "You throw a fk at a telephone call! Shove over that mint sauce." "She's made three thirty-cent calls this evening V "Well, what of it? Punch that bell I want some of that brown bread."

"He's just left not five minutes ago. Now he'll charge for the time he al ways does if you don't let him know the day before." Helen ached to hake some com ment about Carrie's solicitude for her own pocketbook. But a menacing scowl trom Warren kept her silent. "Mrs. Wesley wants to borrow half a dozen egs for breakfast." Nora swung in from the pantry. "The man that brings their butter an' eggs didn't come." "Very fell., let her have them. There's a dozen we haven't opened." "If she wants them for breakfast. I should think she could send out for them," shrugged Carrie. "Thank goodness, we haven't any borrowing neighbors." Eagerly Helen caught at this un expected opening. "I don't mind lending if people would return what they owe. But when they deliberately ignore any kind of a debt that makes me wild. Hereafter, I'm going to come right out and remind them." "Yes. why don't you? I certainly vould. If there's any garlic in that salad dressing, I dont want any. "Whv. vou didn't seem to mind it in the meat." Helen's thrust was ef fective, for Carrie had disposed of two generous slices of the lamb. Fortunately, the orune whip and mrnannt laver cake could not be criticized, so the dinner ended with out further clash. "Helen, where did you get that dress?" demanded Carrie, as they re turned to the library. "You're not tall enough to wear those long-waisted effects. I'd have it altered if I were you." "I like it very well as it is," flared Helen, who always fiercely resented her sister-in-law's criticism of her clothes. , ,., "You needn't be so touchy! I like to be told when I don't look well in a thing." , "Do you? Then you won t mind it I say that purple hat is unbecoming. It makes you look so sallow." "Sallow? Why, everyone says that's the most becoming hat I ever had. Really, Helen, you can be awfully catty." "Here, don't you two start squab bling," cut in Warren. "Where's that seed catalog that came the other day? I said we'd save it for Law rence." Helen produced it from under a pile of magazines. "Oh, we have that one everybody gets that," was Carrie's ungracious comment. "There, that's twice I ve turned my ankle. These slippery floors!" "It's your high heels!" Then m spirationally, "Why don't you wear those oxfords you got at Ardman s? They'd give you more support. I wish I'd bought a pair. They were bargains only seven ninety-eight, wasn't it? You had them charged to me the bill's here somewhere, turning to the desk. "Oh, don't bother, Helen. Show me your new front lace corset."

No longer will "regulars" and strangers passing in the thoroughfare adjacent to the Dallas county jail pause and gaze upward in amazement as they listen to the strains of some popular air issuing from the sixth floor of the jail building and wonder, perhaps, if a new Caruso has fallen into the clutches of the law. Jim Robinson, negro, he of the powerful and well-trained tenor voice, has gone to other fields the state penitentiary, in fact to be gone for four long years. When first arrested. Jim declared his intention of "singing his way out," and daily his shining black face could be seen as he clung to the bars that kept him from "without," while he poured forth his verv soul in the sweet strains of some planta tion melody. Jim made a hit with passersby. a decided hit. and he will be greatly missed by his fellows, but he failed to make a hit with a jury, which, upon his plea of guilty to charge of burglary, suggested that his voice was entirely too powerful for such a small "audience" and sent him on his way to the great expanses of the state penitentiary farms. largest elephant on earth, and the Royal Bengal tiRers, usko arrived from the Himalayas the 1.200 wild animals ay, July 4, realize that he is the spotlight favorite with the mas, sea lions, seals, zebras, hippopotami, pumas, ele triches, kangaroos, yaks, emus, gnus, harte beestcs and ing they have it all over Tusko.

"Don't want to hurry you, Carrie," called Warren from the library. "But if you want to make that 9:40 you'd better get a move on." "Call a taxi, will you? I don't feel like struggling with the subway." Helen, always painfully economical about taxis, could hardly repress her disapproval. The money Carrie squandered on cabs should be ap plied to her debts. The taxi announced, they were in the hall seeing Carrie to the elevator, when abruptly she opened her purse. "Yes, Helen. I'm going to pay you for those oxfords," sarcastically. "I thought I'd wait just to see how manv times vou'd hint about it. You were really very ingenuous. Man aged to drag it in five times, didn't m?" Here the door of the elevator clanged open, but Carrie, with un hurried deliberation, calmly counted out seven one-dolllar bills, a fifty cent piece, four dimes, a nickel and three pennies. "There you are," thrusting the money at Helen, who shrank back, her face aflame. "If I'd known you were losing sleep over it I'd have sent you a check." Then with a hateful laugh as she entered the car: "I hope Mrs. Wesley returns those eggs. If she should forget, I'd like to be around. Helen, when you're trying to remind her. The oxfords weren't easy to drag in but you'll have to work even harder to keep steering the conversation around to ; eggs!"

Los Angeles, Cat., June 24 The wave of criminal activity which has swept over the larger cities of the country ha extended to the Cali fornia rattle range, and cattlemen throughout the state are organizing to battle a band of ruMlrrt wlic have revived practices of the early west. At least such is the deduction made by E. Y.. Leighton, attorney for the state department of agriculture, fol lowing disclosure at the trial of an alleged cattle thief in Visalia, when it was developed that one leather firm had purchased $1,700 worth of hides from the "agent" of the rust ler. Traces of brands used by various cattle ranchers in California are said to have been discovered among the hides. Oncmembcr of the band already has been convicted, another has confessed, and another is facing trial. One of the trio. "Sycamore Hob," was arrested at a motion pic ture ranch near here by under- sheriffs. Practically every cowboy and sheepranger in the state is armed with the familiar weapon made fa mous in the "winning of the west," Leighton states. The old system of counting noses at sunset and "sun up" has been ordered by the cattle owners and every precaution taken to guard the herds from invasion by rustlers during the night. The stuation has become so intense in the ranges west of Blythe that every strange horseman in the vicin ity is regarded with suspicion, and many have been stopped and closely questioned by cowboys. Private in vestigators, employed by the state department of agriculture, are co operating with "the boys" employed by the district attorneys of the sev eral cattle counties in the state in an effort to stamp out the menace and apprehend the rustlers. irS VITAMINES YOU NEED!
