JOHN F. McKAY, County Clerk Subscribed and sworn to before me this 28th day of February, 1918. WM. STROM. -44•ed •-•%. 4 , 4ere 1:1\k Caste The Wife Speaks By GEORGE HASKELL (Copyright. by W. G. Chapman.) William Belding was devoted to his business. He was absorbed In It, sub- merged in it, pickled in it. When quite young he had read: \Concen- tration is the secret of success,\ He meant to succeed, that is he meant to get money. Be concentrated, and got it. At the age of forty he found him- self possessed of a good bank account, some property, and a steadily Increas- ing business. He was a long way from being a millionaire, but with the rapid progress he was making he looked forward to being one. A sense of his power and efficiency gave him a kind of exhilaration so that he be- came, If possible, more and more ab- sorbed in the pursuit of wealth. But how about the wife of this man? Janet was four years younger than he, and had married him when he was twenty-eight. He had only made a small beginning then, but she loved him, and was willing to cast In her lot with hie, though It meant living in a small apartment, and doing all the housework. Things were very differ- ent in those days. He often read aloud to her while she sewed, they went to- gether to a concert or ply, or spent the evening with friends. They were real companions then; but gradually all this had changed. Belding now came home to dinner tired, worn out, and bringing his bust - ties. with him. He took no interest in what she said, and answered her in an absent-minded way. When he did speak it was about something that had happened in the office. He had put over a big deal, or he expected to the next day. After dinner he reed the paper to himself, then fell asleep, or got up and went to bed at an ex- tremely early hour. When Janet had urged him to take her to a play she was anxious to see, be handed her the money for the tick- ets and told her to take anyone she wished. If they were invited to spend the evening with a friend he begged off on the plea of having extra work that evening. If it happened to be a dinner, he had an important appoint- ment with a man at that particular hour. When she !netted friends for the evening, he dined down town, and had more than usual Important en- gagement Once when she had pretty forcibly remonstrated against his entire neg- lect of social obligations he had an- swered: \Why Janet, can't you un- derstand that I've got to attend to business? Can't you see that It's all for you I'm doing this?\ \Yee dear,\ she said gently. \But I'd rather go back to the little fiat, and have something of you, some of the lit- tle outings and pleasant times we had together, than all I have now without - you.\ He was touched by her appeal, and took her in his arms and kissed her. \Well dearte,\ he temporized, \we were both pretty young then. We have to get down to the serious things in life. Perhaps after a while I can take It a bit easier.\ But that time never came. At first she told him of the friends she invited in his stead. But it interested him so little she had even given that up. \I can trust you, Janet,\ he laughed. 9 know you don't flirt.\ It was well -or perhaps 111 -he did not see the look in her eyes. \How do you know?\ she thought \I don't believe you'd care If I did!\ Belding was scarcely ever 111 or obliged to he away a day from the of- fice. One afternoon, in his haste after luncheon to leave the elevator, his foot caught between the elevator floor and the landing and was badly mangled. True, the boy should not have opened the door before reaching the floor, but the hurry and rush of Mr. Belding had Inoculated everyone in his atmosph , se. An ambulance took him to a hospital where the foot was dressed and band- aged, but he was warned that he might not be able to step upon it for several weeks. The next day he insisted on being taken home, where he could be more in touch with the office. A couch - bed was arranged for him In the living room where he could hear every ring of the telephone, his secretary having been instructed to keep him informed of anything of importance. Janet de- voted herself to caring for him and try- ing to amuse him. The latter effort proved futile. He Interrupted her at- tempts with growls and lamentations. He was sure everything at the office was going to the doge. A caged lion Or bear would have been a less trying reeponsibIlity. Janet was obliged to spend a good deal of time writing notes canceling engagements. She wrote them in the room where he was so that she could be with him. He began asking her to whom she was wilting, and when she told him, growled that he did not know them. She called up a good many whom she could informally refuse, and of course had always to explain to them the cape. Thla also brought • growl from Ilve Injured man. Hearing abobt himself and the accident, he de- clared was driving bins \nutty.\ Janet suggested be be moved to another room, but he would not hear of It *Oreat Scott I\ he cried. 'That tele- phose la all I have to break ths hot rible monotony. Here I've been abet up here four days, and not a soul hes looked in on me except Saxby from the office. That's what friends amoset to.\ Janet, whose paUence was worn to a thread, came back at him: \You haven't cared a rap about your friends. Do you think you have any?' Be looked at her in amazement. \That's a nice way to talk to a sick man,\ he said. \Well you might as well look the thing squarely in the face, It's the truth. And now that you have souse spare time, you might as well think about that as anything. We have to sometime take account of stock in our own selves just as surely as we have to In bonds and merchandise.\ He looked strangely at her without speaking. \I would be glad,\ she added kindly, \to ask any of my friends to come in and see you. Some of them don't be- lieve I have a husband. I'd really like to prove It to them -especially as I'm not ashamed of him.\ \No he dissented. \I don't want to see strangers -not now.\ Janet was obliged to see a caller in another room, and a maid answered the telephone. \Mrs. Belding Is engaged,\ he heard her say. \Who? I -didn't get the name. Oh, yes, Mr. Jarvis! Hold the wire.\ The maid dashed off quickly to bring Mrs. Belding. Janet picked up the receiver. \You there? Listen! Listen, please! Didn't you get my note? You didn't? I'll write you! My husband is III. Yea, here -in this room. I have a caller. I must go.\ She rang off, and left the room. Belding had now something besides the advice just given him to think about. The obvious alacrity of the maid to bring Janet to the telephone when she found who was talking, the embarrase- ment of Janet in trying to shut off the \I Don't Want to See Strangers -Not Now.\ man, and, above all, the note which (vas to explain something she could not gay over . the wire. \Who is this Jarvis?\ he asked when ehe returned. \A friend of mine,\ she answered, and turned away. She could not tell him that Fred Jarvis had given her companionship, delightful little atten- tions, and the kind of friendship that was coming to be dangerously near be- ing something more. \Is he tall, light -haired, clean-shaven, and has he a prominent noeer She stared at the abruptness of the question. Then she found voice to say, \Yes; why?\ \Months ago a man asked me who the man was that he saw you with so often. Then he described him. I said I didn't know. I don't think I thought of. It again. I had that much faith in you.\ \It seems there are masculine gos- sips,\ she said, and left the room. Something between a cyclone and an earthquake was going on in the brain and heart of Belding, but he seemed outwardly very quiet For days he was so silent Janet wondered. Then he called her to him. \Janet I was furious that day you told me to think -but I've been at it ever since. If you'll send aw,py that man I -I'll try to take his place.\ \Dear old WIIII\ she said, laying her cheek against his. \We'll begin over again where we left off, back there in the little flat\ Ohl That's It? Flatbush-Did you ever notice that there are a lot of people brighter at night than they are in the day -time? Bensonhurst-Oh, yes. \How do you account for it?\ \Oh they probably went to night school.\ When Hi Fought Last. \So you're going home on • furlough. Jack?' \Yes I am, Bob. Any word to send to your wife?' \Oh yes; tell her We not so bad out here. I haven't done any fighting shift I left her.\ Cruel.
