And then business played out in Guthrie. “I iiad stayed too long there. Tbe Brazilians I had sold commenced to allow signs of wear, and the klndler refused to light up right frequent ou wet mornings. There is always a time tn my business when tbe star of suc cess Mys, 'Move on to tbe next towu.' I was traveling by wagou at that time, so as not to miss any of the small towns, so I bitched up a few days later and went down to tell Marne goodby. I wasn't abandoning tbe game. I In tended running over to Oklahoma City and work It for a week or two. Then I was coming back and institute fresh proceedings against Marne. “What do I find at the Dugans' but Marne all conspicuous In a blue trav eling dress, with her little trunk at the door. It seems that Bister Ixittle Belle, who Is a typewriter in Terre Haute, Is going to be married next Thursday, and Marne la off for a week’s visit to be an accomplice at the cere mony. Marne is waiting for a freight wagon that is going to take her to Ok lahoma, but I condemns the freight wagon with promptness and scorn and offers to deliver the goods myself. Ma Dugan sees no reason why not. as Mr. Freighter wants pay for tlie job, so thirty minutes later Marne and I pull out In my light spring wagon with white canvas cover and bead due south. “That morning was of a praise worthy sort The breeze was lively and smelled excellent of flowers and grass, and the little cottontail rabbits entertained themselves with skylark ing across the road.

Marne was full of talk and rattled on like a kid about her old home and her school pranks and tbe things sbe liked and the hate ful ways of those Johnson girls just across the street, way up in Indiana. Not a word was Mid about Ed Collier or victuals or such solemn subjects. About noon Maine looks and finds that the lunch she had put up In a basket has been left Rebind. I could have managed quite a collation, but Marne didn't seem to lie grieving over nothing to eat, so 1 made no lamentations. It was a sdre subject with me, and I ruled provender In. a II Its branches out of my conversation. “I am minded to touch light on ex planations how I came to lose the way. Tbe road was dim and well grown with grass, and there was Marne by my side confiscating my Intellects and attention. The excuses ■ are good or they are not, as they may appear to you. But I lost It, and at dusk that afternoon, when we should have been In Oklahoma City, we were seesawing along the edge of nowhere In some un discovered river bottom, and the rain was falling In large wet bunches. Down there in the swamps we saw a little log house on a small knoll of high ground. Tbe bottom grass and the chaparral and the louesome timber crowded all around it. It seemed to be a melancholy little house, and you felt "1 e<it there urqalno u-tth mpself quite nexted.” sorry for It. 'Twas that house for the night, the way I reasoned it. I ex plained to Marne, and she leaves It to mo to decide. She doesn't become gal vanic and prosecuting as most women would, but she My»' its ail Yigiit—she knows I didn’t mean to do It “We found the house was deserted. It had two empty rooms. There was a little shed ’n the yard where beasts had tieen once kept. In a loft of It win a lot of old hay. I put my horses In then* and gave them some of It, for which they looked at me sorrowful, expecting apologies. The' rest of tbe bay I carried Into tbe house by arm fuls, with a view to accommodations. 1 also brought in tbe patent klndler and tbe Brazilians, neither of which are guaranteed against the action of water. “Marne and I Mt on the wagon seats ou the floor, and 1 lit a 1st of the klndler on the hearth, for tbe night was chilly. If 1 was any judge, that girl enjoyed it. It was a change for her. It gave her a different point of view. Sbe laughed and talked, and the klndler made a dim light compared to her eyes. I bad a pocketful of cigars, and as far as I was concerned there hsd never been any fall of man. We were at tbe Mme old stand In the garden of Eden. Out there somewhere in the rain and the dark was the river of Zion, and tbe angel with the flaming sword had not yet put up the keep off the grass sign. I opened up a gross or two of the Bra sills us and made Marne put them on- rings, brooches, necklaces, eardrops. bracelets, girdles and lockets, Nbe flashed and sparkled like a million dol lar princess until sbe had pink spots In her cheeks and almost cried for a look ing glass. “When It got late, I made a fine bunk on the floor for Marne with tbe bay and my lap robes and blanketa out of tbe wagon and persuaded her to lie down. I sat tn tbe other room barulug tobacco and listening to the pouring rain and meditating on tbe many vicis situdes that come to a man during tbe seventy years or so immediately pre ceding his funeral. “I must have dozed a little before morning, for my eyes were abut, and when I opened them it was daylight, and there stood Marne with her hair all done up neat and correct and her eyes bright with admiration of exist ence. “ ‘Gee whiz, Jeff,’ she exclaims, ’but I’m hungry! I could eat a'— “I looked up and caught her eye. Her smile went back In. and she gave me a cold look of suspicion. Then I laughed and laid down on tbe floor to laugh easier. It seemed funny to me. By nature and geniality 1 am a hearty laugher, and I went tbe limit. When I came to, Marne was sitting with her back to me, all contaminated with dig nlty. “ ‘Don’t be angry. Marne,' 1 says, ‘for I couldn't help It. It's the funny way you've done up your hair. If you could only see It!’ “’You needn’t tell stories, sir,’ said Maine, cool and advised. 'My hair is all right. I know what you were laugh ing about. Why. Jeff, look outside.’ ahc winds ^pe-plng through u chink SFfWeen the logs. I opened the little wooden window and looked out. Tbe .entire river bottom was flooded, and the knob of laud on which the bouse ! stood was an Island In tbe middle of a rushing stream of yellow water a hundred yards wide. And it was still raining hard. All we could do was to stay there till tbe dove brought in tbe olive branch. “I am tsiund to admit that conversa tions and amusements languished during that day. I was aware that Marne was getting a too prolonged one sided view of things again, but I bad no way to change It. Personally I was wrapped up in a desire to eat. I had hallucinations of bash and visions of hnm and. I kept saying to myself all the time, *What ’ll you have to eat, Jeff? What’ll you order! now, old man. when tbe waiter comes?* I picks out to myself all sorts of favorites from tbe bill of fare and imagines them coming. I guess It’s that way with all very hungry men. “I Mt there, musing along, arguing with myself quite heated as to bow I'd have my steak—with mushrooms or a la creole. Marne was on the other seat, pensive, her bead leaning on her hand. 'Let the potatoes come home fried,' I states in my mind, ‘and brown the hash In the pan, with nine poached eggs on the side.* “Night come on again, with the river still rising and tbe rain still falling. I looked at Marne, and I noticed desperate look on her face that a girl always wears when she passes an Ice cream lair. I knew that poor girl was hungry, maybe for tbe first time in her life. There was that anxious look In her eye that a woman has only when she baa missed a meal or feels her skirt coming unfastened in the back. “It was about 11 o'clock or so on tbe s«*cond night, when we Mt gloomy in our shipwrecked cabin. I kept jerking my mind away from the subject of food, but It kept flopping back again before I could fasten it I thought of everything good to eat I bad ever beard of. “They My a drowning man sees a panorama of bls whole life pass before him.

Her eyes were sparkling, and she smiled sudden. “ ‘Medium for me,’ sbe rattles out, ‘with tbe Juliennes, and three, straight up. Draw one and brown the wheats— doable order to come. Oh. Jeff, wouldn’t It be glorious! And then I'd like to have a half fry and a little chicken curried with rice and a cup custard with ice cream and’— ”’Go. ftney,’ I Interrupt!, ’Whore’« the chicken liver pie and the kidney saute on toast and tbe roast lamb and'— “ ‘Oh,’ cuts In Marne, all «Idled. ‘witn mint Muce, and tbe turkey Mlad and stuffed olives and raspberry tarts and’— “ ‘Keep It going.'

We ranges up and down and backward and for ward over tbe main trunk lines and tbe branches of tbe victual subject, and Marne leads the game, for she la apprised tn tbe ramifications of grub, and the dishes sbe nominates aggra vates my yearnings. It seesaw that there is set up a feeling that Maine will line up friendly again with food. •The next morning we find that tbe flood has subsided. I geared up tbe bays, and we splashed out through the mud, some precarious, until wa found tbe road again. We were oqjy • frw miles wrong, and in two bourq WO were in Oklahoma City. Tbe first thing we mw was a big restaurant sign, and we piled Into there in a hurry. Mere I Buda myself sitting with Marne at table, with knives and forks and plates between ua, and she not scornful, but smiling with starvation and sweetness. “'Twas a naw restaurant and well stocked. I designated a list of quota tions from tbe bill of fare that made tbe waiter look toward tbe wagon to see bow many more might be coming. “There we were, and there was tbe order being served. 'Twas a banquet for a doaen, but we felt like a dozen. I looked across tbe table at Marne and smiled, for I bad recollections. Marne was looking at tbe table like a boy looks at bls first stem winder. Tbeu sbe looked at me. straight In tbe face, and two big tears came in her eyes. The waiter was gone after more grub. “ ‘Jeff,’ sbe says, soft like. Tve been a foolish girl. I’ve looked at things from tbe wrong side. I never felt this way before. Men get hungry every day like this, don't they? They're big and strong, and they do tbe bard work of tbe world, and they don't eat juat to aplte silly waiter girls in restaurants, do they, Jeff? You said once—that Is, you asked me—you wanted me to— well. Jeff, if you still care—I'd be glad and willing to have you always sitting across tbe table from me. Now give me something to eat quick, please.’ “So, as I’ve said, a woman needs to change her point of view now and then. They get tired of tbe same old sights— tbe same old dinner table, washtub and sewing machine.

The census of 1900 shows that about one in every seven succumbs. The cause is apparent. With baby's bones hardening, the fontanel (opening in the skull) closing up snd Its teeth forming, all these coming at once create a demand fof bone material that nearly half the little systems are deficient in. The result is peevishness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar* rhoea. brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that prove terribly fatal.
