CHAPTER VIIL—(Cont'd.)
Even so simple a matter as the
temperature- of •a sleeping room had
• its :dlffscsllties. Burke liked air. He
wanted the windows wide open. Het -
on; trained to things night 'air was
damp and dangerous, wanted them
' .shut, And when two people are
sleepy, crows, and tired, it is appall
what a range •of woe can lie in
the mere opening and shutting of .a.
svitaro w. • •
Burke was surprised, annoyed, and
dismayed. Being ,unhccustomed to
disappointments, he did not know
how; to, take them gracefully, This
being inarriecL was not proving to be
et all the sort of thing he had pic-
tured to hmiself. He had supposed
that'life, married life, was to be a
new wonder every day; an iricreasing
delight. every hour. It was neither.
Living now was a matter of never-
ending adjustment, self-sacrifice, and
economy. And he hated them all.
Ln spite of himself he was getting
into -debt, and he hated ,debt. It made
a fellow feel cheap and mean.
'Even Helen was not what he had
thought she was. He was ashamed to
own it, even to himself, but -.there
was a good deal about Helen that he
did', not like. She was not careful
about her appearance. She was ac-
tually almost 'untidy at times. He
hated those loose, sloppy things she
sometimes. wore, and he abominated
those curl -paper things in her hair.
She was willful and fretful, and she
certainly did not know how to give• a
fellow a decent meal or a comfort-
able place to stay. For his part, he
did not think a girl had any right to
marry, ,until site knew something
about Tanning: a simple home.
Then there was her constant chat-
ter. • Was she not ever going to talk
about something but the silly little
everyday happenings of her work?
A fellow wanted to hear something,
when he came home tired at night,
benides complaints that the range
didn't work, or that the grocer forgot
his order, or that the money was
out,
Why,' Helen used to be good eom'
patsy, cheerful, often witty. Where
were her old-time sparkle and radi-
ance? Her talk now was as meaning -
lest chatter of trivial things, or an
irritating, wailing complaint of
everything under the sun, chiefly re -
• volving around the point of "how
different everything was from what
she expected. Great Scott! As if he
had not found some things different!
- That evidently was what marriage
was --different. But talking about it
o all the time did not 'help any.
Couldn't she read? But, then, if
she did read, it would be only the
newspaper account of the latest mur-
der; and then she would want to talk
about that. She never read anything
'worth while.
And it was for this, this being
married to Helen, that he had given
up so Al
uch; dad, his ]tome, every-
thing. She didn't appreciate int --
Helen didn't. She did not rightly
estimate what he was being made to
Suffer.
That there was any. especial mean-
ing in,all thjs'that he himself should
take to leant—that . there was any
course open to him but righteous dis-
cotitent and rebellion—never occurred
to Burke. His training of frosted
cakes and toy shotgun's had taught
him nothing of the traditional "two
hears," "bear" and "forbear." The
marriage ceremony had not meant to
]rim •:'to be patient, tender •anti sym-
pathetic." It had•meant the "I will"
of self-assertion,not the "I will" of
self-discipline. That Helen ought to
change many of her traits and 'habits
he was oonvsnced. That there might
be some in himself that needed chang-
ing, or that the mere feet of his
having •married Helen might have
entailed upon himself certain obliga-
tions as to making the best of what
he had deliberately chosen, did not
once occur to hive,
As for Helen—Helen was facing
her own. disillusions, She was not
trying now to be the daintily gowned'
wife tqelooming her husband to a well
kept lionle. She ltad long since decid-
ed that that was impossible—on
ty dollars a month. She was tired of
being a martyr wife, Even the laurel
wreath of praise had lost its allure-
ment: she would not get it, prolsably,
even if slie earned it; and anyway,
she would be•deacl from trying to get
it. And for her part she would ra-
tter have some fun while she was
'living.
But site wasn't having any fun.
'Mtge wero so different. 1 verythinji
Was different. She had not supposed
being married was like this: one long
'grind of housework from morning till
:night, and for a man who did not
enre--now. Once, the first thing he
wanted when 'he coma into the house
was a kiss anri a word from her, Now
he weated his dinner. And he was so
fussy, tool She could get along with
cold things; hut he wanted hot ones,
and lots of them. And he always
wanted finger bowls and lots of
spoons, and everything fixed lush se
:on ,the table, too, He said it wasn't
that he wanted "style." It was just
that he wanted things decent. As if
she hadn't had things decent herself
e—and without all that fuss and clat-
ter!
After dinner Vise never wanted to

returned every one of the calls she
had had from Burke's fine friends.
She had put on her new red dress and'
her best hat with the pink rosea; and
she lied tried to be just as bright and
osttertaining as she, knew $ow to be.
But they never came again, so, of
course, she could not go to see them.,
She had gone, •once or twice, But'
Burke said she must not do that. It
was not proper to return your own
calls. If they wanted to see her they
would come themselves. But they
never came. Probably, anyhow, they
did not want to see her; :and that was
the trouble. Not that she cared! They
were a "stuck-up" lot, anyway: and
she was just as good its they were.
She had told one woman so, once—
the woman that carriedlser eyeglasses
on the end of a little stick and stared.
That woman always had, made her
mad. So it was just as well, perhaps,
that they did not come any more, after
all. Burke was ashamed of her, any-
way, when they did come. She knew
that, He did not like anything .she
did nowadays. He 'was always telling
her he did wish she would stop say-
ing "you was," or holding her fork
like that, or making so much noise
eating soup, and a dozen other things.
As if nobody in the house -had a right
to do anything but his way!
It had been so different at home!
There everything she did was just
right. And she was never lonely.
There were the parties and -the frolics
and the sleigh -rides, and the girls
running in all the time, and the boys I

parlor, or taking her buggy -riding,
Nothing there was ever complete
without her. While here—Well, who

ing like a slave' all day, and being
cooped upall the evening with a man
whose nose was buried in a book, and
who scarcely spoke to ,you?
And there wits the money. Burke
acted, for all the world, as if he
thought she ate money, and ate it
whether she was hungry or not, just
to spite him. As if she didn't squeeze
every penny till it fairly shrieked
now; and as if anybody could make
ten dollars a week genurther than sho
did* To be sure, at first she had been
silly arid extravagant, running up bills
and borrowing off Mrs. Jones, as she
did. And of course she was a little
unreasonable and childish abnttt keep-
ing that account book. But that was
only at the first, when she was ignor-
ant and .inexperienced. It was very
different now. She kept a cash ac-
count, and most of the time it came
right. Ilow she wished she bad an
allowance, thought But Burke utterly
refused to give her that. Said she'd
be extravagant and spend it all the
first day. As if she had pot learned
better than that by bitter experience!
And as if anything could be worse
than the way they were trying to get
along now, with' her teasing for money

ing the bills, and then asking , how
they could manage to eat so many

The enemies of Germany, and those

And yet the routine of German life
seems to persist. • The journals are

and the cinemas seem to be doing a

where, according to the published re-

Guarding. the Bela Water.
There is perhaps no greater bless-
ing known to households than having
good water, There lire various
Methods of water supply, but one of
the .most common and convenient
ways is to have it in a cistern. As
a reservoir the cistern is subject to
canteminetion in several ways, and
in Ways that are often overlooked by
the owner;
Wo take it that 411 oisterns have

edb a
cut-off in the spout above the curb,
which is in turn operated bj' the
owner. The roofs of houses gather
more
filth t
h t lr
ansze. w a realize. Someof
r l
thisfilth
may be classified asbird
st d bi d
droppings, insects, either dead or
alive, molding leaves, dust, etc. Once
in a while you will find a mouse going
its way into the cistern.
It would, be a good thing for all
inlet spouts to pass their •waters
through a filter before entering. A
filter could easily be constructed, and
would cell for a chamber either of
galvanized material or ,proofeel wood
tilled' with sand acid charcoal errant
ged in .alternate layers, with strain-
ers to assist or to hold the -ingred-
ients from running away with' the
water. In conjunction with the filter
a careful and reasonable use of the
cut-off should keep the water free
of anything coming from the roof
or the eaves.
Some other conditions that assist
in making a cistern secure against
contamination are proper- ventilation
of the water reservoir and protection
against the entrance of anything like
flirt, insects, or small animals, such
as mice or rats. There should be a
strong screen between the platform
and the curb to allow air to _pass, as
well as screen -protected tubes on op-
posite sides of the curb high enough
to keep the water from flowing out
but allowing air to come through.
This should supply plenty of ventila-
tion. Moreover, the walls.and bottom
of the cistern should all be well plas-
tered, and be investigated whenever
the cistern is drained for cleaning.
A small amount of slaked lime can
be dropped in at times 'to disinfect
the water. The lime may cause the
water to be rather "hard" for a few
days, but this condition soon passes.
Locations so often regulate the
construction of platforms that it is
next to impossible to name any one
particular material for their con-
struction, but for an all-purpose plat-
form we believe there is nothing that
can beat concrete. A concrete plat-
form, unlike wood; will not allow dirt
to drop into the cistern. The opening
at the top should be large enough to
admit an ordinary -sized roan when
the cistern is to be cleaned.
The edge of the opening should be
provided with a sort of elevation over
which the upper curb may sit to pre-
vent the flowing of any surface water
into the cistern from the platform.
All these things can be regulated if
the owner is serious enough to look
into the matter and really wants to
keep his cistern water at its best.

er of the Canadian Corps, has been

tory."
The official narrative covers about'
100 pages, and commences with the
launching of the enemy's great at-
tack on March 21st, 1918. Sir Arthur
describes the tremendous pressure
exerted on .the Canadian troops, et
that time, and passes on to the pre-
parations made by the Allies to re-
gain the offensive. .After the battle'
of Amiens, in which plans worked out
perfectly, it became apparent that
strong enemy reserves had been sent.
forward to stem the Canadian ad-
vance. Six fresh divisions and a large
number of light and heavy batteries
had been brought forward and strong-
ly placed.
Ten Divisions Defeated.
"Between August 8th and 22nd,"
Sir Arthur say's, "the Canadian Corp
fought against fifteen German divi-
sione. Of these ten were directly en-
gaged and thoroughly defeated, pris-
oners being captured from almost
every one of their battalions. The
five other divisions, fighting astride
our flanks, were only partially enga-
ged by no. , In the same period the
Canadian Corps captured 9,131 pris-
oners, 1,090 guns of all calibres, and
more than 1,000 machine guns and
trench mortars. The greatest depth
penetrated approximated 14 miles;
and an area of over 67 square miles,
containing 27 towns and villages, had
been liberated.
"The casualties suffered by the
Canadian Corps in the fourteen days
heavy fighting amounted to:

"Considering the number of Ger-
man divisions engaged and the re-
sults achieved, the casualties were
very light."
"Flushed with the great victory
they had just won, and fortified by
the experience acquired, all ranks
of the Canadian Corps were' ready
for the coming task." Sir Arthur de-
scribes in detail the movements' of his
troops on the eve of the battle of
Gambrel. On September 2 the attack
against the Drocourt-Queanl line was
launched.
Individual Bravery of Men.
"To stem our advance and hold
the Drocourt-Queant line the enemy
had concentrated eight fresh divi-
sions directly opposite the Canadian
Corps, but the unparalleled striking
power of our battalions and the indi-
vidual bravery of our men had
smashed all resistance."
Then for a time the men rested,
end on September 27 the attack was
again launched, going well from the
very fit+at.
From August 2G 'to October 12 the
Canadian Corps had advanced 23
miles, fighting every foot of the
ground.. and overcoming the ' most
bitter resistas3ee, •In that period the
Canadian Carps had engaged and de-
cisively defeated 81 German divisions.

the statement that in one month, be-
