The Married Life of Helen and Warren
By MABEL HERBERT URNER
Originator of "Their Married Life." Author of 'The
Journal of a Neglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," etc.
Excitement of the Midnight Landing Is Subdued by the
Ominous War Cloud
iwmBt&2Qt23SBiEiHn&mMMQZ
(Copyright, 1915, by the McCluro
"A sjcopor," eagerly. "Oh, can we
get a sleeper?"
"That's what I'm going -to find out.
You stay hero with these," and, leav
ing Helen with tho hand baggago,
Warren hurried to tho ticket window.
Tho dimly lit station was swarming
with passengers from tho St. Paul,
all tenBoly anxious to get on to Lon
don. Tho pxcltemcnt of tho midnight
landing was In tho air.
London papers were being eagerly
scanned for tho latest war news. A
table supplied with cablo and tele
graph blanks was crowded with those
anxious to send messages.
Hut there was nono of tho uBitnl ex
hilaration of landing. Even tho hurry
and excitement were subdued by tho
ominous feeling of depression.
"Got two berths of somo kind," an
nounced Warren. Then, with a glance
at tho lunch counter, "Want somo of
that fodder while we wait? Thero's
our old friend, Bovrll," nodding at
tho familiar English sign.
"I don't like beef extract," de
murred Helen.
"Hello, they've got a bar, too! What
about sherry and bitters? That'll set
you up.
"Walt, dear," as Warren started for
the lunch counter. "A lot of peoplo
aro wiring on to tho hotels for rooms.
Don't you think we'd bettor?"
"No; they always soak you more.
Don't you worry we'll get In some
where. They'll not turn aw'ay good
American money, war or no war."
Warren now made a raid on tho
lunch counter, returning with sherry
and sandwiches. They had had a
late supper on tho steamer, but the
thought of tho midnight landing In
a country still In tho throes of war
had left Helen too excited to eat.
"All passengers this way!" shouted
tho guard.
Helen hastily finished her sandwich
and followed Warren Into tho huge
brick-lined hall, where all tho baggage
was ready for Inspection.
"Keep close to me," as ho pushed
ahead and quickly located their trunks
In the section under "C." ,
"Any spirits, tobacco or silver
plate?" asked the custom otTicer per
functorily, as he chalked tho trunks
without opening them.
With somo difficulty Warren got a
porter. The scarcity of porters was
one of the first evidences of the war.
"Register these trunks through to
Euston," he ordered. "This hand bag
gage we'll have in the sleeper."
Outside they mado their way down
the platform to tho waiting train.
"Whore's this stateroom?" asked
Warren, showing his ticket.
"They're not reserved, sir. Take
any you like."
When tho porter deposited their
hand baggage In one of tho stuffy state
rooms, Helen looked around with
amazed disapproval. Compared with
the luxurious American sleeper it was
crude, shabby and not oven clean.
There were two cot-like berths with
a washBtand between. The curtains
wero stained and dusty, and the bit of
carpet worn threadbare.
Helen promptly examined tho dubious-looking
bed linen. The narrow
sheets barely covered tho soiled mat
tress, and tho harsh, stiff blankets
were a grayish white.
"Dear, look! Even the shoets don't
look fresh!"
"Well, they're getting American
managers on theso roads now. They'll
send a lot of these old cars to tho
Junk heap."
"Let's get out our steamer rugs,"
persisted Helen. "They're cleaner than
theso blankets."
Unheeding Warren's growling pro
test, she unstrapped tho rugs. Then
from her suitcase sho took two towels
und pinned them over tho pillows.
"Now, seo here," scowling around
for a place to hang his coat; "you're
to take things on this trip as you find
'em. We'll have nono of this squeam
ishness. If you don't like "
"Oh, wait," pleadingly. "Let mo
wash out that basin first," as Warren
started to wash up. "And, dear, don't
uso Hint soap!"
Impatiently he waited while Helen
washed out the dusty basin and got
tho soap from her suitcase.
"Oh, dear, I wouldn't stand on this
dirty floor. Whcro're your slippers?
Let mo get them out for you."
"No, you don't" pushing her aside.
"No sense in getting everything un
packed. I paid for this stateroom to
get a few hours' sleep not to potter
around all night."
Helen had .hardly bogun to undress
when Warren Hopped Into his berth.
"Great Scott, this thing's narrow!
Don't take any chances on tossing
about. Say, what in thunder aro you
doing now?"
"I'll bo through in a minute," for,
lmvlng a doep-rooted nverslon for
doubtful wash basins, Helen was clean
ing her face with cold cream.
"Well, I may not he so all-fired par
ticular as you are but I wouldn't
smear all that grease paint on my face
for a farm."
Through a lull In tho rumbling, oW
mo oaggago trucKs, tho voices of two
women now camo with shrill distinct
ness from the adjoining stateroom:
"1 wonder If this shirt wulst will do
for tomorrow?"
"Oh, yes; I wouldn't put on n fresh
ono till wo're thore. My, It's good to
get tboso shoes off! Patent leather
draws my feet so."
"Tan shoes aro easier for traveling.
Oh, do you like thoso lace-front cor
sets? I'vo been wanting to try them,
thoy say they're" Tho rest was lost
in tho trundling of biggago outsldo.
"Huh, Just getting interesting,"
grinned Warren. "What're thoso two
females over hero alone for, anway?"
"I think ono Is n correspondent for
oine paper." whispered Helen. "Don't

you remember her, the ono who was
always writing on deck?"
"Oh, thnt! Well, It'll take moro'n a
lnco front to make her"
''llush, dear, they'll hear you!"
"Now what elso havo you to do?" de
manded Warren.
"Jnst to fix my hair but I don't
need tho light for thnt."
Sho switched off tho light and raised
tho window nt tho foot of hor berth.
The long platform was now cleared
of trunks. Tho cold, white arc globes
flickered ghostly along the prlson-llko
station. Tho familiar English signs of
soap, tea and Junket seemed frivolous
ly out of place against tho grim stono
walls,
Then without a sound of bell or
whistle, with almost a sinister silence,
tho train slipped out Into tho dark
ness. Tho outskirts of Liverpool, with
tho streets stony, treeless, and poor
ly lit, looked Inexpressibly dreary.
There wero endless rows of tho mo
notonous, low brick houses, all dark
now except for a faint glimmer from
an occasional window.
Vaguely depressed by tho scene,
with n whispered "Good night, dear,"
Helen reached out acrosB tho narrow
nlslo.
"Good night," briefly, pushing away
her hand.
"Now let's get what sleep wo can."
A silence of several momonts then
Helen crept out of bed and bent over
him with a wistful:
"Dear, I can't go to Bleep without
telling you good night right!"
As sho stooped to kiss him, her
hand unconsciously slipped under his
pillow and touched something cold
and steely. With a frightened cry sho
drew back.
"Oh, oh! Why, Warren, that
Isn't"
"Well, what If It Is? What're you
fumbling under my pillow for?"
"It It Isn't loaded?" breathlessly.
"What use would it bo If It wasn't?"
"But, dear, you don't think"
"Think It's just as well to haVe ono.
Lot of sneak thieves at a time like
this. Now you go to sleep and stop
prowling around."
Helen crept back Into her berth, but
the touch of the revolver had chilled
her. There was something terrify
ing In that cold steel. With a rush It
brought back all her brooding thoughts
of the war.
They were beyond the city now,
speeding through the sweet-smelling
English country, liaising her pil
low, sho gazed out on the peaceful
farm lands. Hero and there wero
groups of cows sleeping or grazing In
the moonlight.
It was all so quietly peaceful that
it was hard to think of the war zone
as being so near. All those Belgian
battlefields had a few months ago been
as serenely quiet as this. Perhaps
many of the battles had been fought at
night under just such a calm, pale
moon.
Tho thought of the killcdand wound
ed Helen resolutely put from her. All
her mental anguish over tho suffering
In this war would not alleviate a single
pang, and sho was schooling herself
not to think. Just before they sailed
sho had sent a check to tho Red Cross.
That was expressing her sympathy In
the only way that could holp.
Determinedly sho now turned her
thoughts to London. They would bo
there In the morning. What condi
tions would they find? The hotels,
restaurants, music halls all tho places
sho had loved on her first trip how
many of thoso would be closed?
Whatever tho hardships or Incon
veniences of the next few weeks, thore
was something thrllllngly exciting
about being so near tho heart of
things.
Tho spirit of adventure was always
strong within Helen, and now sho
looked forward to their arrival In Lon
don with a glow of eager expectancy.

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr, William A. Itmlford will answer
questions and kIvo ndvlco I'ltEB OF
COST on nil subjects portnlnlnir to tlio
BUbJect of building work on the farm, for
the raiders of this pnper. On account of
Ills wido oxporlrnco its Editor, Author nnd
Mnnufneturer, ho Is, without doubt, tho
highest authority on all theso subjects.
AclJreRt nil Inquiries to William A. Itnd
ford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago,
HI., nnd only Inclose two-cont stamp for
reply,
A dairy barn to stnblo 22 cows and
six to eight horses Is shown In tho
accompanying perspective and detail
floor plan. Tho barn Is 3G feet In
width by 74 feet In length, which
makes a convenient-sized barn for a
farm of from forty to eighty acres.
Tho size of tho barn Is better appreci
ated when tho clovatlon is studied.
This plan gives a dlstanco of about
forty foot between tho concroto stable
floor and tho penk of the roof, or moro
than thirty feet from tho threshing
floor to tho penk. This spaco is used
almost exclusively for tho storago of
alfalfa, clovor hay and straw, and it
makes a roomy mow, free from beams,
posts or obstructions of any kind.
Such a mow usually Is filled with hay
by means of n horse fork, and It Is n
pleasure to turn tho muzzlo of tho
separator straw blower Into ono end
and pllo up tho straw at threshing
Hmo undor cover, without' tho nld of
human stackers.
Many details of construction in con
nection with this barn are well worth
careful consideration. In tho Ilrst
place tho framowork Is built of two
Inch stuff. Plank frame construction
is tho term applied by carpenters to
this stylo of building. Tho first advan
tage Is that tho material mny bo
bought at any lumber yard, because
only stock lengths aro called for. In
tho second place, tho cost Is less
than when the dimension timbers are
ordored, and there is a saving in tho
dolay caused by ordering timbers of
special lengths or sizes. The only
heavy limbers In the barn aro tho
girders, which aro supported by col
umns ovor the cow mangers, and these
girders aro built by bolting together
two-inch planks, enough of them to
make the desired size and leugtb.
Sixteen-foot plnnlc works In well for
this purpose. Tho plankB are cut in
such a wuy as to bring tho abutting
Joists four feet apart, so that always
a glrdor is threo planks thick for a
length of four feet without a joint,
und it makes a continuous girder the
whole length of tho barn.
Tho sllla and plates aro light, hut
thoy aro built up in tho samo manner.
Otherwise tho framework Is construct
ed on tho truss principle, each pair of
rafters forming a truss. This brings
tho trusses threo feet npait, which In
tho average makes a vory strong roof.
Tho building is tied together cross
wise by the floor joists, Theso floor
joists are 12 feet In length, butted to
gether on tho girders and tho Joists
spliced by short extra lengths and well
spiked. Tho Joists also aro spiked Into
the studding at tho sides of tho build
ing, which makes a very substantial
tie to receive tho cnu tnrust or tho
first sot of roof braces,
Tho lower rafters nre 18 feet In
length and the upper rafters are 12
feet, which gives natural eaBy angles
to both the upper and lower pitches
of tho roof.
The cow stnblo part of tho buso
merit Is vory carefully constructed to
make a stable that Is warm in win
ter, cool In Summer and well ventilat
ed at all seasons. Tho concreto floor
includes both gutters and both man
gors In ono solid monolith concreto
slab which reaches across tho stable
from one concreto foundation sido
wall to tho other. Also thore aro
heavy concreto supporting piers at In
torvuls undor tho mangers to form
bnses for tho columns which support
the girdors. Considerable weight
comes on these posts, and for this rea
son tho piers should havo amplo bases
and bo set down well In tho ground to
prevent settling.
A mow as big as this, when filled,
settled and refilled, contains a heavy
weight of fodder, tho main part of
which rests on theso center supports.
Tho cow stnblo Is mudo airtight ex
cept at tho doors, and theso are fitted
as close as posslblo. An airtight Btn

stables aro built for tho purposo of
keeping cows comfortable In cold
wcathor, so they can benefit by the
feeding of carefully compounded ra
tions, worked out undor thn most ap
proved feeding systoniB.
This plan provides foul-air shafts to
tnko the dovltallzcd air from near tho
floor behind tho cows and to carry It
up to bo disposed of by tho motnl ven
tilators on tho roof Fresh air from
outdoors Is supplied to tho cows by In
tnko shafts that cntor the building just
abovo tho concreto wall. From hero
tho fresh ntr Is carried to tho ceiling
nnd let out over tho cowa In such n
way as to prevent a druft, so tho fre3h
air from outdoors iiiIxob with tho
stnblo air, which becomes heavier as
It loads up with impurities, so that It
settles to tho Iloor and Is carried oft
nB abovo mentioned.
In tho horso stnblo there are two
ventilating Hues to enrry oft tho foul
air, but fresh air Is admitted into this
end of the barn through various doors
and windows.
Tho general plan of both stables Is
tho same. Tho center feed alloy and
tho two manUro alloys extend clear
through tho building and hnve outlet
doors at the four corners. There Is a
partition to divide tho horso depart
ment from tho cow stable, and thoro
aro sliding doors In tho partitions
which aro closed or left open as
needed.
Tho construction of tho foundation
wall of this stable is n little different
from tho ordinary, because It Is car
ried up four feet abovo grade. With
this construction tho windows arc
placed directly on thn wooden sill of
the building. This Is a compromise
between a wooden stdo to a stnblo and
a wall that extends clear to tho cell
ing. The amount of wall around a
cow stable varies usually with local
conditions. It materials to mnko con
creto are comparatively chenp It Is
customary to build a concreto wall
eight feet high nbovo grade and to
start tho wooden framework at the
colling of tho cow stnblo. This Is n
detail of construction that must bo
known before hand.
Dairy stables are finished carefully
on 'tho Inside to make them ns smooth
as posslblo for easy cleaning. Every
year dairymen aro raising the stand
ard until competition is becoming very
keen in the furnishing of high grade
milk, to got higher prices. A stable
constructed ou this plan has every ad
vantage, provided the work Is care
fully and thoroughly well done. All
inside surfaces, including sldo walls,
celling poBts, girders, windows, stall
partitions, etc., aro ' required to bo
made smooth. In a well-kept stable
all these Inside surfaces aro gone ovor
with cleaning mops or brushes at fre
quent intervals, to remove all dust
and dirt.
Tho gutters aro made with a slight
grado, to drain at tho most convenient
end of thu building. After the stnblcs
aro cleaned tho gutters are washed
with water from tho hose. Tho cows
are kept clean nnd the milkers wear
linen duck uniforms and nro required
to keep themselvos particularly clean.
The cows In a well-kept dairy aro cur
ried and aro otherwise as carefully
cared for as a hlgh-prlccd horso.
In Gorgeous Raiment.
A love of gorgeous ralmont, such as
characterized M. Emllo Verhaeron In
his youth, has been common to many
famous writers. Disraeli as a young
man startled the town by an evening
dress comprising greon volvet trousers,
a canary-colored waistcoat, and a coat
with lace cuffs. Dickens, llkowlse, was
fond of a certain bright green waist
coat which ho wore In accompanl
mont with a vivid scarlet tie, and hu
turned up ut Frlth's studio ono day In
a sky-bluo overcoat with red cuffs.

In tho Woman's Homo Companion
lppears tho first of a series of nrticlos
)n tho caro of children entitled "Your
Dhlldren's Clothes." Tho author tolls
:ho following story and gives somo
food advlcre:
"A child's clothing Is n factor of
rcry great lmportanco In tho develop
ment of his body and character. Last
summer at tho aeashoro a raothor
lomplalned to mo of her four-year-old
joy, 'Johnnlo cannot koop his clothes
Jlenn for flvo minutes!'
"I wnlched UiIb llttlo boy nt piny,
ind though I saw tho truth ot tho
nother's complaint my sympathies
fvero decidedly with tho llttlo boy, bo
iauso tho person at fault was not tho
Jhlld, but tho mother. All that morn
ing tho llttlo boy wub harassed and
luppresscd, as ho probably had been
from his earliest childhood, by such
jhrases as: 'Don't, Johnnie, you will
jot your clothes dirty!'
"Hero was a child whoso dovclop
went was stunted and sacrificed for
:ho sake of his clothes. Ho had never
jeen given a chanco to play freoly,
to exercise freely, to lenm to do
things by tljo actual doing of them,
ind so, therefore, he naturally had
aover gained control ovor his muscles.
Ho was flabby and clumBy, ho stum
bled over everything, ho could .hardly
throw a pebble into tho wntcr without
falling Into it. This child, though ap
parently well and strong, nnd bright
nough,,was practically helpless phys

srdinatton his mentality and spirit
