Sidewalks on Office Buildings Are Predicted ANOTHER WOMAN'S SACRIFICE By H. M.

The wreck of his fallen plane A is shown here. 'MA Kitchen on Every Floor A new hotel in Detroit, twenty-niae stories high, will have' an electrical kitchen on each floor and its daily consumption of electricity for all uses will he about 35,000 kilowatt hours, according to careful estimates. That was the beginning of the strange experience.

The man's workroom was at the end of the flat, a large room filled with glass of all shapes and sizes. Angels' heads started out from between strips of lead. The floor was splashed with coloring. When the nurse came Clauson shut himself up and refused to see her. Weeks passed.

They hardly ever met. Clauson had given her a key and knew her hours. She would hear him at work in his room as she tended Muriel. Gradually she began to see that a certain affection had sprung up between the child and the father. She began to pity the lonely man.

Once, when they met, she showed this sympathy, and she fancied that the look in his eyes was like that of a dog, starving for affection. But then the mask fell again, and he was gruffer than ever when they next met. One day, as she was leaving, he came in and stood beside her. "Well, how long is this going on?" he asked. "As long as I am needed," she answered with spirit.

The man seemed suddenly to change. "Sit down a minute," he said. "I want to tell you that that I am not ungrateful for what you have done. You are fond of the child. But you don't know what she means to me.

I I want to explain my rudeness." "It will take a lot of explaining." thought Nurse Winifred; but she only waited for what he was going to say. "I want to tell you," he continued, "that the child's mother is still alive." "Then why don't you bring her?" demanded Nurse Winifred, starting up in consternation. "Because she wouldn't come," he answered. She never wanted the child. She hated the idea of giving life to her.

She only cared for society, and such things." "Oh murmured the nurse, beginning to sense something of the tragedy. 'T wrote to her after she had left me. She ran away she left a note for me saying that she couldn't live in poverty. I was not successful then. It was hard work to live.

But she never cared for the child. I wrote to her, begging her to come back for her sake. But she refused. She secured a divorce from me in the West and married a rich man. The child meant nothing to her and does not remember her.

"After that experience I hated all women. I vowed that no woman should ever enter my home again. I resolved to bring up the child alone, to try to make her better than her mother was. But she had to go to the hospital, and, and "I understand," answered Nurse Winifred gently. "Then, when you came here I determined never to see you.

But you showed me that there were some women who were different. And I am sorry. I know how you have given all your spare time in spite of the work in the hospital. So I want to make you a suggestion. I am not fit to care for the child.

Take her away and bring her up as yours. I will pay you. I am doing well, and I can sign an agreement "Nonsense, Mr. Clauson," answered the nurse promptly. "I air.

willing to continue coming here. Muriel likes me, and it is my greatest happiness." Her eyes filled with tears. He made no answer, but went out of the room quickly. But after that she had, more and more frequently, glimpses of the real man beneath the mask of indifference and selfishness. It was a slow process.

It began when they put their heads together to plan for the girl's welfare. But it might have been infinitely slow-had not Nurse Winifred suddenly failed to appear one afternoon. The next day Clauson was. at the hospital. They told him that she bad been struck down with pneumonia from overwork; that there was no chance for her.

Nurse Winifred, lying in a coma, was wholly ignorant of the man who sat beside her bed. He had been there from morn till night for seven days. "There is one chance in a hundred," the doctor said. "It is the critical period. If she awakens she is not likely.

to awaken." As the angels of death and life struggled with one another the sound of a man's grief reached the nurse's mind in its misty recesses. Faintly she opened her eyes. "Live!" he was whispering. "Live for Muriel and me." With all her effort she focused her consciousness upon the words. "Yes! I will live!" she whispered back.

"New Line" Literature Dr. C. H. Woolley, secretary of the League for the Promotion of Purity, said at a New York luncheon "We have a group of young publishers new line publishers who are swamping the book market with evil books. "A father reproached his daughter the other day for her ignorance of classical literature.

'Oh. thunder, the girl said impatiently, 'how can one read all the books one ought to when one hasn't anything like the time, thanks to our new line publishers, to read all those one oughtn't to It doesn't take a very bright woman to dazzle the average man. Throat tickle sorethroat, huskiness and similar troubles quickly re BEST FARM WORKER In Memory of Our First War Dead (Copyright by W. G. Chapman.) NURSE WINIFRED stood beside Muriel's cot in the children's ward, waiting for the doctor's verdict.

"I'm afraid we'll have to send her home tomorrow," he said at last. "That hip disease is completely cured. It has been for weeks, you know. We've kept the child principally well, because you have taken a fancy to her," he said, smilingly. "I like them all," said the nurse.

"But this little five-year-old poor little motherless thing: Doctor, I don't like to think of that father of hers taking "I'm afraid he's got the law on his side." the doctor answered. "Besides, what's the matter with him?" "I don't like him, doctor," answered the nurse. "I don't think he's the sort of man who would be kind to a child." "Nonsense saitl the doctor, brusquely. "Anyhow, she can't stay here forever." "Just one week longer pleaded Nurse Winifred. "Very well.

One week. But no longer," said the doctor, as he turne-d away. Nurse Winifred felt the tears come into her eyes. She had mothered Muriel Clauson ever since the child had been brought there by the father, a year before. The mother was dead the father, who came every week, seemed to like the little girl after his fashion, but Nurse Winifred did not like him.

Dark, scowling, sullen, he never noticed her, never did anything but sit by the cot side and glower at his child, who was plainly almost afraid of him. When Muriel learned that she was to go home with her father in the near future she was heartbroken. "Promise me you'll come too. nurse," she pleaded. And Nurse Winifred, to save the child a week of heartbreak, promised that she would.

She broke the news to the father the next day. He only glared at her morosely. She found herself wondering whether he would know how to care for the child, whether there were any women in his family. He was a maker of stained glass, she had learned, and lived in two or three poorly furnished rooms in an unfashionable, rather Bohemian part of the town. Still, a father has rights.

But Nurse Winifred felt that it would be scandalous to let the child go to a home where there would be no woman to care for it. "I suppose you will get some one to look after the child." she suggested. "I am capable of looking after her," answered the father. "But you want a woman to care for her. -You can't look after a child yourself!" "I'll have no woman in my home," he almost shouted at her.

"You'll have to." answered Nurse Winifred deliberately. "Otherwise you shall not get possession of the. child." "Maybe you'd like to look after her yourself!" jeered the man. Nurse Winifred flushed. "I certainly she answered quietly.

"However, that is not the point. I shall speak to the hospital authorities." And she took the matter up with them. They agreed that it might be possible to have the child committed to an institution. "But it wouldn't be wise," was the verdict. "No doubt the father will prove amenable to reason.

You see. the poor are suspicious, and it would give the hospital a bad name." The nurse retired, completely baffled. She thought about the matter all day, and cried most of the night. Then she arrived at her decision. When the father came she told him plainly that she was willing to give up her spare time to the child.

She would come for a couple of hours daily; if he was unwilling she would have the child taken from him. The man looked at her with dull rage. He had not dreamed that she would take him at his word. "Well. I guess I Can stand it for two hours a day," he answered at length.

When the time came for the child's removal she accompanied him In a cab to where he lived. It was a cozy little apartment, not nearly so bad as she had imagined. It consisted of five rooms, and the nurse was sure, the moment she set eyes on it, that a woman had had a part in the furnishing. Perhaps it was the dead mother. She pitied her devoutly.

Then, being a practical woman, Nurse Winifred at once set about preparing for the child's life in the flat. "You'll have to have a crib," she said. The nan pulled out a roll of bills and handed her fifty dollars. "Order what you want," he said curtly. lieved with Luden's RHEUMATISM Kidney Trouble Stomach Disorders Woman Quarry Manager Mrs.
