I rarely have made an unexpected movement dur ing all our lives together without aliy I reply, good-naturedly, but sometimes I cannot help betraying my annoyance.

Now I want to know all abofrt this girl's calling up this way. Whats wrong? Has anything happened to to Alfred or Richard? There was . tremor in her old voice through its natsnness and a sudden wave of remorse blotted out my irritation. I went up to her mi- pjiMvely and put my arms around her as I spoke. ' She misinterpreted the action. .-- v "Oh! What is it?" she exclaimed wildly. - "Don't try to prepare tne. Tell me at once." "There is nothing, mother," I said quickly, but decided!. "1 was jujt silently apologizing for being slippy in my answers. Leila telephoned saying that she was very unhappy and wished to see m; alone immedi ately. But she said nothing about any accident." "Oh, if that's all!" Her voice ex pressed, lofty disdain of such trifles as a girl's happiness. "She's probably had a row with Alfred and doesn't know, just how to fix it up. Well, it won't'e the last. one sne'll have, but they probably won't worry her so much, after r. few years." Leila's Obvious Agony. The grim cynicism of age"and ex perience was in. her voice. I found the unhappy echo of it in my own heart, and longed suddenly, wildly, absurdly forthe days when Dicky's smne or irown meant nours ot laughter or hours of weeping.. 1. realize, oi course, that the in tensity with which most eneaeed ad newly married persons, fegari every word and actionthe assiduitv with wiich they dissect their emo tions and put them together again is the most absurb thing in the world, and that the real joy and comfort of marriage come with a saner outlook. And yet, there was something about that wild, rapturous time as I thought of it, I turned abruptly away from my mother-in- law lest she should see tiie quick tears which had sprunp- to m rty eyes. yi must go out and iook tor ner, I said practically. ' "She's coming1 right over in a taxi." She d better save her money, my mother-in-law commented erimlv. and I made my escape thankful that n her relief at finding Leila s er rand was no, serious one, she had forgotten to catechize me as to my arrangements for seeing my friend clone. I slipped on a heavier wrap thai had used for strolling with Junior, and taking a magazine with me, I went over to the big veranda of Mrs. Luken's home to wait Leila's arrival. . But I found that I couldn't read, s My mind went back years to the days when I was preparing for my own wedding, and when Leila's taxi came up the driveway and my little friend alighted from it I was pre pared to be genuinely . sympathetic with troubles that- nry .common sense toldme were probably imagin ary. -s Bui one look .at her tortured face showed me that it was no imaginary trouble which-was distressing her. I drew her quickly around h house into the shelter of Mrs. Luken s room. 'What is it, dear? I asked, with mv arms around her. "Oh, MadSe! Rita" Her voice broke into choking sobs. Rita Brown's name, as Leila Fair fax choked on its utterance, relieved the'anxiety I had felt at the sight of mv little friend's panic. I had feared I knew not what, at my first glimpse of her distorted fee. But the name of the crirl I detested so cordially, assured me that while Le ila probably had good reason for the emotion which was shaking her, yet there was hovering over us no ca lamity like death or maiming acci dent the two contingencies I most dread. - - - Leila was in no condition to tell me anything more than I had learned from her first hysterical mention of Rita's name. I guessed that whatever had happened- was something affecting her "engagement to Alfred, and that she could not bear to have either her own people or Alfred s devoted mother suspect that anything was wrong. She had kept up appearances, at what cost I could surmise from her pallid face and hollow eyes, until she cpuld no longer control herself. Thep she had fled to me, and with the' relaxa tion of the tension under which she had been laboring, had come awcom plete emotional collapse. ' With a wisdom born of similar ex periences of my own, I asked no more questions, made no more .com ments. I led her' to 'an easy chajY, removed her hat and knelt beside her, letting her sob out her griej and terror upon my shoulder.. Wheii long shuddering breaths be gan to replace the tearing .sobs.' I knew that the paroxysm had spent itself, and that if I were to help my little friend, the time, had arrived. Her emotional tempest had cleared the atmosphere. She must not be left to brood longer, but must bi en couraged to revelation - . "Now, Leila, dear" I said, a bit More Truth By JAMES 5.

By JJ. Mundy. There is no surer way to lose a frienS- than to let a man's account getSo big that he cannot pay it. A'Joon as it reaches such dimen sions he begins to be conscious ol it, and fearing that it may get around among his fellows, he begins to throw out little stabs and, slurs about the man whom he fears may tell what he owes. It is these debts, which we can not .pay or which ha,ve assumed such proportions , that - they worry us which trouble the waters of friend ship. So the Question arises which is kinder, to .be exacting for prompt payment when the obligation is due, or so lenient that the one who owes can forget the obligation, -even go ing on to make it bigger. Teach ydur children that the man to whom they owe money has a right to it when it is due. They should not expect something for nothing, and they should not go on making (bills unless they can figure to get, them, balanced . when due. , ' - .
