' Op TEHTJ WO OP QM THAT- Hunting a Blanchard Tries to Escort tho Widow, but She Es capes Him, My VIRGINIA TEHHUNN VAN' DEWATEH. Helen's inspiration with regard to the music proved to be a happy one. Beatrice had of late practiced with more or less regularity. Ever since the time when Hobcrt Moynard's approaching call had moved her to reopen her piano and re sume her playing and singing, she had found pleasure In the talent which she had neglected for so long. Robert hlmeclf, as he, listened tonight,, appreciated that In the few weeks since he had heard her sing for tho first time sho had Improved greatly. She had not brought with her to Helen's any of her music, but she oould play many of her accompaniments and sing most of her hours without notes, And there were certain compositions of which she was iond am which she had played so often for her own enjoyment that sho had no difficulty In remembering them, Bhe played several of those, then, urged by her listeners to ring, consented. At first thero was a llttlo tremble In her voice, for sho was nervous before theso friends who might also be critics, but their genuine and generous, applause en couraged her and una gained confidence, Finally sho declared that the "knew nothing more." Hut ns sho arose from tho piano stool .Helen protested. "Beatrice, dear," she pleaded, '"don't jou remember how you used to sin?, Could IT'B Indeed Beatrice remembered. She also remembered that Ifer husband had loved tho song, but tonight, amid these sur roundings, he and tho days when he had been with her seemed very far 'f Yet aha hesitated for a moment before an swering. Thqn shejspoko softly. "Yes, I remember. But I have not- sung It In a long time," "But you can sljtg It without your notes, an't you?" urxed Helen. Paul Maynard, leaning on the piano, looked at tho musi cian and Bmlled encouragingly. "Please sing It!" ha murmured. "I used tp love it myself when I was younger. ' He sighed even as he smiled, and Bea trice wondered what experience ho was recalling. She glanced at tho group by tho fire. John Tlobblps was lolling In his Kreut chair, his eyes closed, evidently waiting for her to bogln. He always listened to music better If his eyes wcr hut, ho Insisted. Robert's hand 'shaded Ills, face nn he sat before the blaze. Helen was looking expectantly towards the piano, while Henry Blanchard stood lean ing against tho wall at the side of the chimney, arms folded. The entlro com pany seemed In a receptive mood, an4 Beatrice felt almost excited as she play?d the prelude to the song. It was a mo ment that seemed to predict a triumph for her a moment when she felt that for the next few minutes fcho could move her hearers at will. She began the song softly. The plain tive air and pensive wordB were suited to her .voice, upd the muac stirred her strangely. It awoke 'dead and gone mem ories, and a new pithos came Into her tones, she was conscious that tho man standing by her was listening Intently and that h had forgotten the presence of others besides himself and herself. Ills nearness Impressed her us It hud not dona before. Onco sho glanced swiftly at his face and, saw a moved, wistful look about the mouth that made her know that her song or was It she? touched Iilm strongly. "But once!" the sweet air pleuded. Hut once tp enter there when night Is falling. , In the old, sweet way, Just coming at your calling; And, like an angel, bending down above you, To whisper In your ear "I love you! 1 love you!" The sohblng refrain ceased, and, for a moment, nobody moved. Then Helen made a little sound between a laugh and a sigh. "Helgho!" she said. "Beatrice, dear, you have made me want to cry, and yet I love the feeling." Bhe tried to laugh, and Robert Maynard turned to her and spoke softly. But Beatrice, In the silence of the room, caught his words. "That .was ope of my wife's favorite songs,'' he murmured. John Bobbins sold nothing, but Henry Blanchard remarked prosaically that he believed It was "raining as hard us ever.' As Beatrice noted Paul Maynard's sllonco she lifted her eyes to his and found, him gating at her with an expression that thrilled her, For a half minute his eyes held hers, then he smiled sadly. "Thank you!" he raid, -so low that no body but herself heard him. Without a word the widow arose from the piano stool and came toward the fire, "H Is time I wm going home, Helen." she Bald gently. Her voice and manner were tiubdued. and Henry Blanchard noted It "Now, sea here, he said briskly, "I be I S ' i i .i. i l. l J J J I 1 L I 1 11 1 " " '" 1 " i, 1 1 I , . , , i 1 v ; , : i 3 Husband -J lieve you've been singing and ploying bad things until you've clven yourself an attack of the blues. I move that wa havo aomo real music now something Jolly, I mean." he correoted hlmsolf, ''something that wo can all slngl" ''Oh, no!' gasped Helen. "Wo don't want ragtime and nonsense after such a treat as Beatrice has given us. Do we. John?" turning to her husband for tha confirmation which bIio was sure would oomo from him. "No," said John, "we don't want any ragtime. Rut I would tike to hear Paul Maynard sing 'Danny Deevnrv "Not tonight!" declared Paul, closing tho piano. with emphasis that betokened determination. "Some other time, perhaps, but not tonight." Beatrfca turned toward him Impulsively, "Why dldnt you tell .me you sang?" she asked. "If I had known It I never would have ventured to air my poor little volco In your presence." "I am very glad you did not know," he returned, merrily, "for then we would have missed a delightful hour." The pensive mood was. over, and the bustle of preparations for departure be gan. "How are you going home," queried Robert Maynard of Beatrice as aha came downstairs cloaked and hooded for de parture. "My brother .could havo brought over his car. had he thought of your hav ing no. conveyance. I don't d,oubt hfe can even now telephone down to the Cedar Cliff for It." Beatrice paused Just before she reached th power step and smiled down at the man standing below her. "You're very generous with your brother's car," she teased. "But you can't walk on a night like this!" Insisted Robert. "Certainly not,' sho answered coolly. "I do not expect to." Henry BIaneha.nl stepped flulckly for ward. "Mrs, Maynard," he sold, "let me walk home with your But before Beatrice could reply Helen laughed out merrily, "My dear uncle!" she exclaimed. "Do you suppose we think so little of thlf girl as to let her walk anywhere in such weather as this? John has Just gone for tho horse. Hark, thero he Is now!" as tho sound Of wheels : was heard. All came out on the veranda to speed the parting guest, but Henry Blanchard kept close to her, As he fastened tho rub ber apron on her side of tho carriage, he Whispered a sentence meant for her ears alone: "I shall see you tomorrow," he said. And tha widow, with a sinking of heart wondered if the others, standing by, had heard the sibilant utterance. r Gives Up Blood for Babie3 I V J An example of woman's sacrlflo was unfolded In Baltimore, between the lines of' matter-of-fact routine court work. The arrest of Charles Leroy Brown brought out the fact that several months' ago 1)0 derertcd his wife, leaving her to support her twins, 7 years old. This she .sua ceeded In doing until three months ago when she was compelled to go to Johm Hopkins' hospital, where another baby was born, Then her money gave out. WtiUa In the hospital Mrs, Browr learned that blood was a valuable artlcli In a hospital, so In order to obtain nione' to pay the board of her twin chlldrer Hho sold a quantity of her blood for JS which she sent to the people who were caring for her babies. Hearing later that a patient In anotlie Institute was In a serious condition am that the only hope held out by the sur geons was In transfusing soma health Wood Into the patient's body, Mrs. Brow offered to give more of her blood to sav (V life. The surgeons were at first chary o risking Mr. Brown's health, by furthe: loss of the vital fluid. But an examlna tlon of her blood showed that It wa healthy and a vein In her left wrist war opened and the blood taken dut. Mrs Brown stood the operation well and In t few weeks was able to leave the lnstitu. tlon. One of the remarkable features of the case Is that Mrs. Brown weighs only IS) pounds. Another Is that Oovernor Wilson of New Jersey, the president-elect. Is per onally Interested In her case.

Allow a child to Miok his thumbs and when ho Is a little older he will continually demand candy as a com fort for all his troubles, whatever goes wrong, ho will cry for candy. From that will grow the cravings for soda water, not as an occasional beverage, but a hanker. Krom soda water a comforter for life's ills, he must think of drinks and drugs In times of stress and disap pointment. "Do you know that a habit Is formed n the flrtt three weeks of a child's life will take a year to cureT It was so with my baby.
