Show THE HELPER TIMES. HELPER, UTAH -- a THE STORY D. 3. Walsh.) V T ELL KEATOIt sat on the porch f I embroidering a pair of blue JL N romjiers for Cassie, her sister's daughter. It h'ad a busy day. It had begun at six o'clock when the had arisen and prepared an early breakfast in order that her sister May, and her husband illicit get an early start on their day's outing. May's husband was a youns; und popular doctor and his holidays were all too few, and as for May, who was the mother of two small children, this day which was to be spent in the open meant much. Noll was glad that she had happened to come for her hummer visit Just in time for May to have this outing. The children were interesting and Nell taking it all in ull had had u wonderful day with them. Cassie had behaved like a lit lie old woman, but Richard, who was one and a half, had been a perfect whirlwind and now at three o'clock in the afternoon when Nell had them both tucked safely away for their afternoon naps, she felt a sense of free doni she had uot experienced before three-year-ol- been- that d - day. "Well," thought Nell, "there Is something to say In favor of being unmarried even if one is only an old maid school teacher, and there is also much to sny in favor of being mar ried. I wonder which had the best of It, May or I? Surely May has long hours und much hard work and responsibility with her two babies and house, while I have shorter hours and the responsibility of many children. I only have" tliein for a short tinit! each dayt but still just as I begin to love and become interested in them they are passed on to some one else and I soon lose all track of them. It is like beginning many continued stories and only being allowed to read a chapter or two." At this juncture she was aroused from her reverie by the sound of brakes being applied and looking up she saw u big maroon cur stopping at the curb. No sooner had the car come to a standstill than out of it stepped a personable looking man with graying hair and the trim, healthy, well groonied look of an intelligent clean-livegentleman. lie came up the walk and straight toward Nell with an air of expecting a weld come. "Good afternoon!" he began in a most agreeable voice. "Is IVank ah Doctor 1'ell at home?" Nell had arisen with her work in her hand. "No. he Isn't" She had got that far when Richard awakened with a howl, Richard, who usually awakened refreshed and smiling upon the world. Richard who seldom cried, but when he did had such good lungs and vocal cords that his father, who being a doctor thought he ought to know, declared he was Intended for grand opera, lie began with a shriek which was repeated crescendo even alter Nell, throwing aside her work, ran to see whatever could be the matter. Of course, his cries aroused Cassie and she immediately began to cry in sympathy. Whatever should she do with two howling babies and a strange man standing waiting an answer to his inquiry concerning her brother-in-lawHastily putting Richard into his carriage and gathering Cassie over her shoulder, she hurried back to the porch, saying as she went lu a soothing tone meant only to reach the ears of the children: "There, there." Rut while Cassie soon ceased crying, Richard cried on louder and louder. Without doubt this was something more than a tantrum. The baby kicked his legs, screwed up his face and turned almost black In the face. Nell glanced at the strange man who had stood, a polite spectator, all this time. "1'lease sit down," she said. "I am i.fraid It Is colic. I I shall have to tive him some peppermint." She carried the baby indoors, while the strange man looked after her with less curiosity than admiration, for Nell's cheeks wjre glowing red with annoyance and apprehension and she was the personification of perfect motherhood. After ten minutes she reappeared with Richard, Hushed hut serene and comforted, to And the visitor with Cassie sitting on his lap poring over the pages of a magazine nd he seemed wholely engrossed with the things she was telling him i.bout the pictures. "We are all right now," Nell cheerfully, us she sat down u it h Richard in her lap. "You seem to have a perfect way vitli children," the visitor said. lie tailed at Richard and I!ich:;rd, shy with strangers, smiled ? usu-nil- y :.t him. "I trust a great deal to peppermint," Nell replied. She was wondering who the 'man wis whin he Introduced him-If. name Is Marvel. Stewart Mar-M'l- . I am an old friend of Frank's.

There was a 'rief, embarrassing silence which Nell broke T am a teacher ot by hurrying on. language " Rut something In the man's eyes arrested anything further she might -have said. At six that evening when May und Frank came, they found Nell and Stewart Marvel lust putting the finishing touches to the dinner table. Nell had simply had to invite him to stay and meet Frank and May, and ' i he had not only Insi.-te- d upon helping k care for the children, but in actually helping her prepare the meal. -- a ; Great was Frank's joy at sight of his old friend, and a jolly meal followed after which Stewart Marvel insisted upon May's, resting while he and Nell washed the dishes. After ' V s the dishes were finished the card ta- fi ! . ' , , ble was brought out and a merry game " l followed. v a " vi , At seven next morning .May came into Nell's room. "Frank wants to know what you've done to bewitch his old friend. Did you know that he was a rich widower with three wonderful children? That To Lee Meadows, one of the few bespectacled pitchers In the big leagues, he had vowed he could never marry again, but that he is staying over for the Pittsburgh Pirates owe much for their splendid showing this season. a day or two?

And May was right. Stewart Marvel, having stumbled inadvertently into Nell's life, soon announced his in- tention of staying there forever. As for Nell, the wife of Stewart Marvel and the beloved mother of his three children who adore her, no happier woman can be found in all the land. For now she can have the whole story of children's lives and not just a chapter.

Rucky Harris does not agree with the theory offered by the sharps that Johnson is singing his swan song and plans to use his veteran pitcher occasionally during the summer and often in the games of the fall. "If the race is close and we are up in tlie fight," declared the boss of the Nationals, "you will see Johnson In there bearing the brunt of the pitching, for the weather at that time of the year Is just suited to him. lie may also be called to wipe up the close games when an experienced cool pitcher is needed if some of the younger flingers blow toward the end of the game.
