The Bee Short Story
TUKDAK1UEK.
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, ,

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.
