Jones she's gone to telephone to him now says that he came home this morning with one of those dreadful 'attacks' of his. And after dinner he seemed so sick that, when she went for the doctor, she wired me at Auntie's to come home. I didn't want to come you know why but I COULDN'T let him die alone. And so I caught the three o'clock train and came. I knew you'd forgive me.
To this he wired reply: "I start to-night. Arrive on Monday at Grand Central. Eleven-thirty." Helen was waiting for him at the gate of the station in a beautiful spring hat, her face abloom, her eyes dancing, and the sight of her robbed him of all caution.

Then he went inside, tried the front door, and shut a blind that had failed to catch, and after a second frowning look at all the beds, came out and wired the gate. "Well," said Lily, as they drove away, "ain't you good, takin' all that trouble!" Wilfred frowned again.

At the end of two hours he undressed and tumbled upon the bed.
P. S. Just received the following telegram from Johnny Black, dated New York, 1:50 P. M.: "Old K. C. has just been sighted. She's a little dismantled, but game. She's arranging for a foolisher for a whole week, and I am going to stay with him. Dick sends best. Chickens has a roll." I wired Johnny as follows: "If you see a safety pin anywhere around Chickens, that roll belongs to me."
