Married Life the Third Year
Helen and Warren Spend Sunday in the Country With,
. the Baldwins.
W
By MABEL HERBERT TJRXR.
"Il l thi next lUUon now," uld War
nn, putting down Mi paper ind glinclnf
out of thi car window.
"Oh, then it isn't so fir? It'i not more
, , thin fifty minute
Is it, dear?" asked
Helen.
"Fifty-five mln
utei on the train.
I believe Baldwin
cilli It an hour and
a quarter from
Will strict. He
don't Mem to mind
It, but that trip
nlfht and raomlnc
would be mora than
I d want."
"Yet. It must be
nice to II vi In the
country," murmured
Hlen a little wist
fully, looktnf out
t the free fields.
"Baldwin wants
us to take that cot-
Un Just below thelr'a. It's cheap
enough they only isk . $300 for the
whole summer. But living In the coun
try whe'n"yoQ have fo come Ih every day
is not whit It's cricked up to be. Here
this li the station now."
It could hardly be called a station
there wu only a covered platform, be
side which stood a rig with a forlorn'
looking horse.
"Cm you tike us up to Oikview Air,
Uildwln'i plaeeT" liked Warren of the
driver, who wu dusting off the shibby
seat, expectantly.
"Tei, sir; yes, sir," stepping aside for
them to enter.
But Helen had been gazing at the
wretched looking horse. He was gaunt
and bony, and hung Its head In hopeless
dejection. And there waa a piece of
lolled towelling en in shoulder under the
harness, which spoke plainly of a son
beneath.
"Oh, dear, I wont ride behind that
hoi s I can't." Then, turning Indlg
nantly to the driver: "How can you
drive such a horse? He Isn't strong
enough ti draw this hack hi looks half
larved!"
"Oh. he's all right, ma'am; he Just
looks that way. He'll take you up there
ait right."
"Now, don't stop to fuse about the
horse," Interrupted Warren Impatiently.
"Can't expect prancing seeed la a coun
try hack can your"
"Warren, don't ask me to ride behind
thit horse. Id rither walk. Look!"
and as she leaned over she raised up the
edgi-of the toweling, showing under It a
raw, red sore. The horse's skin quivered
is hi felt the cloth being lifted, ind he
turned his head In pathetic Inquiry. -
"Oh, I aayl" exclaimed Warren, who
wis In some wiyi very tender hesrted.
That'l outrageous! Here." to the driver,
look at that sore. Tou know thit bone
Isn't fit to bo driven. Where's your
tible?"
The man motioned sullenly down thl
road.
"Is It your stable do you own this
horse?" Warren persisted.
"Ne. sir; It's Bennington's stable," still
more sullenly.
"You say It's down the road how far
down?"
" 'Bout half a mile."
"Very well, now you take me there."
and Wirren jumped Into the rig. "You
stay hen, Helen. I'm going to see l bout
thti horse.'"
The man demurred, but quickly be
came submissive when Warren threatened
him with arrest for driving such an
animal.
And Helen waited contentedly on the
platform, knowing that when ones War.
ren undertook a thing he put It through,
and that he would not rest until he ar
ranged to have thai hone properly cared
for.
It wai a fun half hour before be came
back in thl same hack with a boy driv
ing, and with another and much better
horse.
"It's all right.' as he Jumped out to
help Helen tn. Tn got that man thor
oughly frightened. He'll not drive thit
horse tn that condition again. I'll ask
Baldwin to keep an eye on him. Jove.
I'd lika to string up a man who'd work
a horn like that! Here, lift np your feet
and let ml tuck tn this lap robe."
It IM thought that wretched old hone
was standing hen to be drives around
It would have spoiled my stay. Oh. yon
an the deans, kindest-hearted person
la the world!"
"Tuck that robe tn on year side." was
Warren's only answer. "Can't you see
it's hanging eat there?"
They win going Hp a hill now and the
wand af tha hone's feet and tlx creak
ing of the hack wen to Helen sounds of
the country.
There had been a heavy rain the night
before which hid badly washed out the
roads, but lift everything fresh and
bright. And the air was filled with the
pungent smell of earth thit comes after
a spring rain.
The Baldwin! win out on the porch to
greet them. Hardly had Helen stepped
Into the yard when a shaggy brown dog
came leaping about her.
"Down. Max! Down! Oh. I'm afnld
he's gotten you all muddy." apologised
Mri. Baldwin, as they made their way
Into thl house. But Helen, who loved
dogs, wis pitting the glossy head is he
kept beside her.
It wis a roomy, rambling country
house. A real old-fashioned home thit
hid not been spoiled by modern renova
tions or modern furnishings.
Dinner waa served at oncea real
country Sunday noonday dinner. Not
since Helen had been out home had she
had such delicious huroe-madi preserves,
pickles and brandlrd peaches. After
dinner Mrs. Baldwin took her down Into
thl cellar ind showed her all the fruit
she put up list summer. It was nicked
closely on long shelves, and the flats
Jan win neatly labelled.
"It makes me almost envious." sighed
Helen. "I've always wanted to live In
the country."
"Why don't you try It this summer?"
urged Mrs. Baldwin. "Tou know you osn
rent that cottage on the Melvln place
Just below hen. We should love to hive
pou for neighbors. John has spoken
about It several times to Mr. Curtis."
"Yes. I know, hut I'm afraid It would
he too hard on Warren to go In and out
very diy,"

The Silly Girl Who is in Love
With a Married Man
"But John Is much mora delicate than
Mr. Curtis, and he s gone kaok and forth
for five yean. We came - out for the
children's sake, and my health'! been
better, too. I really was never well In
town. I'm going to tell ,Mr. Curtis,"
liughlngly. "that he's very 'selfish If his
only objection to the country Is thit hi
don't want to commute."
Helen flushed slightly, for in spite of
Mrs. Baldwin's laughing tone there was
something In her voice thit made Helen
feel she was partly In earnest, and that
she did think Wirnn selfish.
And for a moment Helen could not help
but wonder If iha was right. Shi knew
what tha fnsh country air Would mean
ta her and Winifred. And Winifred had
not bean at aU well this winter.
On the way home she said aagerly.
"Warren, I da like thl Baldwins so much
and haven't they tha loveliest home?
Dear, do you think we could take thit
cottage for the summer? It would be so
good for Winifred. Do you think we
could afford It thl moving and all?" .
"Could afford It all rtght-wouldn't cost
so much. But having to git up every
morning to catch that t;W o'clock train
isn't what It's cracked up to be. But
we'll aee. Maybe we can find some plica
nnnr town."
"Oh. Wirren, do you think wa eooldf
Joyfully. "A place big enough for' a
garden?" .
"Now, dont go so fist I You want
everything settled In a minute. I ssld
we d see. Here do you went mi ta put
on your coat? We're getting In now." '
And Helen, fearing to urge It further,
aid no mon. But as the elevated whirled
them through the noisy, dusty streets of
the city, her mind wis filled with visions
of a little country garden with a fresh
smell of earth and of growing things.
