Youll grow more close together and more understanding this way, and itll be a weeter, sounder thing, like crossing brook from stepping stone to stepping-stone instead of in a leap." Presently a little cabin boy came out of the door which led to the galley and blew what was evidently a for repetition of the mess-calLarks special benefit and for that of the young couple who stood together on the forward deck. The couple went below, and after a moment Lark followed them. When she reached the dining room the two who had entered just ahead of her were seating themselves with the ships officers and other first class passengers at the mam table under the portrait of King George the Third. The gentlemen at the main table rose courteously to accept the apologies which the two young people made for their tardiness. In the confusion Lark hesitated for a moment in the doorway, her eyes making quick note of the group at the table of honor. There was a florid middle-ageman, obviously the father of the girl, a youngish man In clerical black with a listless-lookin- g wife beside him, a comfortable, stoutish British couple, two little old ladies, and a foppish little man in blue broadcloth who stared "This Raskalls the prize of the at her with admiring patronage unairing. til the Captain said stiffly, "Pray be Would you like to have a glimpse of seated, Mr. Dawes."

One day, the third Sunday of the voyage, Captain Walesby announced at breakfast that he would conduct church services on deck. There was great confusion in the womens saloon as all the girls unpacked their Sabbath finery. Lark dug down deep Into her portmanteau searching for her good blue bombazine dress She couldnt find it. It Just wasn't there. It was immediately after the service that Busby waylaid Lark. He had a worried and anxious look about him. "I dont like to trouble you, Miss," he said soberly, but the horse ii sick; really sick. It aint Just colic, like the master says. Ive changed the blanket over and over again and its sweated through in no time. It lung inflammation, and thats a fact. Miss. Its serious. I've seen it often enough afore to know that. Lark asked "Lancers sick? sharply. "Oh, no, not my Red Raskall!' "No, ma'am, it aint Lancer. Iti our mare, Penelope. Squire Terralne over and me have been her the night. Maybe youd come down to the stalls with ma and give me a word of advice, aay what you'd do if it was your own Madoc, youve spoke of so often." "Indeed I will." Lark said with warm sympathy, and following the groom past the neat little temporary tackroom and the dark cornered enclosure where the bales of hay wera stacked shoulder - high. Minnie, standing back in the shadow, grinned at them and said, Seen my Dan anywhere? Busby shook his head and led Lark through the wicket into the fenced-of- f stall where the mar and bloody. atood, Lark laid a gentle hand on the drooping neck. "Poor Penelope, Shes as sick a she said softly. horse as ever Ive seen. Shell have to be bled, wont she? Indeed she will, young lady, Plascutt Dawes had entered the stall and stood there behind Lark with his shrewd little eyes fixed on her. She frowned a little and said anxCan't we do something? iously, Does the Squire know how sick a mare he'a got?" Jarrod Terrainea a nincompoop, Mr. Dawes said with asperity.

Plascutt turned abruptly and left them. Jarrod threw back his head and bawled with laughter. Well, young lady, I guess you heard me call that little popinjays bluff, didnt you?

By VIRGINIA VALE Listeners to a recent broad- cast never even suspected that in the studio the sort of thing was happening that speeds radio performers and producers toward nervous breakdowns. Ginny Simms was singing when a man walked up on the stage and headed toward her. Since, when a big show like that one is produced, there are so many people on stage, no one realized just at first that the man didnt belong there. Then Ken Roberta, the announcer, spotted him. Just before the man reached Ginny, Roberts reached him; he took the stranger by the arm and led him off stage, whispering in his ear very confidentially all the while.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS MAY take you six IT months, it may take you a year to rebuild, when that man of yours comes home, but marriage is worth six months or twelve months of doubt and pain. True marriage is a miracle, and to cheat yourself out of wonderful years of companionship and planning just because things are difficult now, is an expensive mistake. Im completely bewildered, writes William Martin, in a letter that illustrates this point. "Ive been two years overseas. When I left her my wife was a sweet, shy girl who had no friends in my home town and cried bitterly when she came to Join my mother for my absence. Just before I left Dorothy bad the sad experience of losing a new-bor- n baby, so that my memory of her is of an exiled, scared, tearful, bashful little thing who assured me that she could not hold her head up at all until I came back.

If I suggest this, Dorothy is all attention; what would I like to do? Well, the truth ia I dont want to do anything, except sit around. I dont even want my mother or wife near me, part of the time. I always wanted to take a forestry course, but after two fears of college I quit, and got a job, so I could marry. Then the war came. I have no money now, and m be darned If I want my women to aupport me. Shall I Just get out of their lives, go off somewhere, and work it out myself?

He left college in order to marry her, and now he wonders if it were the sensible thing to do. The separation and the experiences of war change both husband and wife, replies Miss Norris. One will mature more than the other, but when there is no fundamental disagreement, time will harmonize the differences, and the original happiness can be regained. e. driven at 50 m.p.h. average roads wears away 41 per cent more rubber than if it were driven at a steady 30 m.p.h.
