By EDWARD BAUCHMAN. If anyone had ven hinted that there was a cloud on the horizo- of the Cameron' married life to mar their domestic tranquility hey would have been ridiculed. But there was infinitely tno.'t than a cloud the sky was black. Alice Cameron sat luking into space. There wa no ti.-c denying it, she told lurself a dozen times, love between them, if tHrc really ever was any love, wa dead. Up to this morning they had kept up the pretense, but this morning he had gone to the office without kiss ing her; the first time in three years! The neglect was mutual, though; she had been indifferent at his de pa. ture. She smiled a rather litter little smile. Three years ago hc had been heralded as making a brilliant match when she nia'ried John Ci.ni eron, self-made mat. But almost be fore the honeymoon ended she be gan to see her ideal fade Soon she became aware she bad married a common, ordinary man. His busi ness mind grated horribly on her supcrcultttred mind. Drifting - far ther apart each day. they had kept up a show of pretense until this morning when the open rupture oc curred. They were face to face with the bare facts now. No more sham; no more hypocrisy. . There was only one way out. She had resolved that divorce. Not very pretty sounding, but a cure for all martial ills. Startled out o fher bitter reverie by childish prattle and the patter of tiny feet, she turned. ' "Mamma up! Mamma up I" two year old Caroline cried impatiently, trying to climb into her lap. "Taking her up, the mother caught her fondly to her bosom. Divorce nol Here was a barrier! For the sake of her child she would have to keep up the hollow mockery. In his office John Cameron sank dejectedly into nis chair. It had come at last the open breach. He had been fearful from the first of the outcome. It was a mistake ever to think of living up to Alice Man ning he, a common, ordinary fellow from common ordinary parents parents of the working class ever to aspire to the hand of a -girl brought up in wealth and luxury. Her very culture was a menace to their happiness. There was no use of keeping up the sham of marital relations like so many mismated couples did. He detested hypecrisy. Hypocrites because they trembled before public opinion. Divorce was the only remedy. Alice and he had nothing in common absolutely noth ing. , . Then with a sudden start, he re membered Caroline. Divorce nol For her sake he would have to live a lie. The very thing he detested in others. With an air of resignation, he turned to his work. "Black diphtheria." White-faced and blue-lipped Alice Cameron turned from the doctor's to her husband's face. "If she dies it will kill him," she thought. Strange; not of herself first, but of him. John Cameron felt as though someone had suddenly . clutched his heart in a strong grip. . "My God, doctor, not that!" he exclaimed. But he wasn't thinking of himself. He turned to Alice and helped her to a chair. "If she dies," tie thought, "it will break her heart." They were kneeling by the child's bedside when the crisis came. The feverish tossing of their loved one suddenly ceased and their hearts all but stopped. Then they heard the doctor's voice as though miles away: "The crisis is past. She is sleeping." John Cameron's hand groped over the coverlet. Halfway it was met by his wife's. With professional authori ty, the doctor gently forced them from the room. Outside they stood facing each other for what might have' been an eternity for all conception they had of time. Then hungrily bis arms opened to her. With a cry of joy she sprang into them ami their lips met in a kiss of complete under standing, , South Side Three Robberies in South Omaha Drug Store, Bottling Works and Cleaning Establishment Looted.

Famine Said lo Be Increasing in Ukraine Region ! 100,000 Persons in Odessa Alone Staning Steamers Can't Unload Until Har bors Repaired Riga, March 3. Famine in the Ukraine, that district of Russia which has supplied vthe majority of the Russian immigrants tb America and which is only second to the Volga legion in fertility, Is growing worse, according to the daily reports of the Rosta, the official soviet news agency. Recent dispatches state that in Ddes ia alone 100,000 persons are starving when the soviet government is mak ing all possible efforts to repair the railroads and to dredge the harbor to a sufficient depth so that the large steamers bringing grain from Ameri ca can unload. A soviet official here commented cheerfully that in case the grain ar rived too late for effectual relief in the Volga, where millions are now starving, then it can be used with good effect in the Ukraine and would save the soviet government the trouble of freighting it to the Volga districts. . Today's Rosta states that in the Vckaterinoslav province 600,000 per sons are starving and that 1S0.(XK) of these are children. Only 10,000 chil dren arc being fed at the present time by the soviet food kitchens, -according to the report. In the Kherson district the conditions are reported even worse. The Ameri can relief administration has not yet finished its survey of this section of Russia and no kitchens have yet been established.
