REVELATIONS A WIFE,
By ADELE GARRUSON

{ Jeck came down the steps and said to 1 me, l cant find them anywhere. MT, ! onderWood asked Us if we had lost anything, and l answered, No, noth- l ing of any consequence' for I did not wish him to know about it. But he l happened to look at my ungIoved
 hand, and he said, Oh, see, nothing i ot any consequence, so sneeringly.'' ! Don't You Know" ! Dicky uttered a vigorous oath and
 rising, began to pace up and down the room
 MT. Underwood went away then, '' l continued land Jack and started to find you. He said if I had lost my rings he was going to be the one to tell you. But when I put on my gloves the rings rolled out of a glove, ard I put them on and came on home here, and then went aver to Mrs. Un- derWoods MT. Underwood tele- phoned me here before I left, saying he would not speak of the loss of the rings, but I told him falsehood about them.'
 "You did? What?' Dicky's voice was sharp and peremptory.
 T told him that my rings had not been lost, that my gloves were too tight and that I had removed them to put on my gloves."
 "Good!" Dicky's voice held a note of relenting. That's one thing saved anyway. Wonder your conscience would let you tell that much of a l1e"
 His sheer reused me- I had been speaking in a dreary monotone which typified my feelings. Now I faced him, indignant.
 See here, Dicky Graham, don't you imagine it would have been easier for me to lie about all this? I didn't need to tell you anything. Another thing I want you to understand plain ly and that is my reason for not tell ing Jack at first that was married If I had had real brother, you would have thought it perfectly natural for me to- have waited for his return before I married. Now, no brother in the world could have been kinder to my mother and me than was Jack Bickett. We were indebted to him for thousand kindnesses, for a lifetime of devotion. I never should have married without first telling him about it. Do you wonder that, realiz- ing that, I delayed in every way the story of my. marriage until I could find suitable opportunity? I give you my@WOrd of honor that I did not dream, he cared, and I expect you to believe me-
 I walked steadily toward the door of my bedroom. I had not reached it, however, before Dicky clasped me in !is arms, and I felt his hot kisses on my face.
 I'm seventeen kinds of a jealous brute, | know, sweetheart" he w1is- pered, "but the thought of that other IT. an, who seems to mean SO much to you, drives me mad. Pm mad about you.'
 l put my arms around his neck Don't you know, foolish Dicky," murmured, that there's nobody else ir the world for me but just you, you, you?"

 "Oh, come on, Phil" she was say ing T shan't stay very long, any way"
 By all means come along" echoed Daniels with assumed cordiality.
 "You'n be a welcome guest"
 Pollock could see them now, for they had passed his hiding place, and he gave a sigh of relief as Langdon said:
 NO, thanks-I won't come in. It's a supper for you, Mary, and for your company-and I feel a little out of place. Don't get too tired, though and I'll call up tomorrow
 And Langdon came slowly down the corridor which echoed now to the sound of the tumultuous welcome to Mary-"The New Star!' He made his way down to the lobby and set tied himself in a chair from where he could look up at the door of the banquet-room.
 Walters were hurry1nS III ana out, and Langdon could catch glimpses of the gay table with Mary flushed and cxcited at one end and could hear the laughter and the little bursts of applause? Once when a hurrying waiter left the door wide he saw Mary ii her feet protesting against the ur- gent hands that were thrusting lass of champagne upon her.

He could, how yer guess that they were urging her c drink a toast to the play, and he oped that that meant that Mary was 'Jn to leave.

MORALITY DRAMA AT
 PARSONS NEXT. WEEK

"Experience," George V. Hobarts #lodern morality drama, is announced Sy William 'EI1iott,3F. Ray Comstock Ind Morris Gest, for weeks en- agement at Parsons theater, Hart lord, commencing Monday, Jan. 31st. This play is called by the critics #the most wonderful play in AmerI-
 Ra' and comes to Hartford after it's femarkable nine months run in New Fork where it played successively at
 z zhree different tfeaters. and from its
 Hensational five months success in Boston where it also played at three #iferent theaters this season, and is
 Ahe only dramatic attraction that ever played a successful engagement at #he famous Boston Opera house. (which has always been devoted to Ahe production of grand opera.
 Experience" is a massive pageant #f modern Youth. Its am bitions, it's #lopes, its temptations, it's failures and #ts ultimate victory. Yet the word #pageant," the New York critics say. #aiIs to describe Experience" even
 &s the word drama fails utterly to give an idea of the brillfancy and
 bptic scope of this phenomenal s,rc- &ess. There is a simple story in "Ex Serience" that goes with unswerving Siirectness from the first curtain to Hhe last. It is a drama. it is a love Story, it is an adventure. Each char @ctef is intensified by being real to

offering Douglas Fairbanks that ver- satile character actor will be seen in t'Double Trouble," a five act produc- ton that thrills and delights with its immensely entertaining story. A big amount of comedy is intermingled with the pathos and the audience IS kept in a quandry as to the real out come of the play. This is MT. Fair banks second photo-play for the Triangle Fine Art studios, his hrst one, "The Lamb" is still remembered by those who witnessed it's screening here.
 The Keystone offering for today and tomorrow is a dandy. Fred Mace, that funny character .delineator, sup ported by a cast of Keystone comedi- ans in '"The Janitor's Wife's Tempta- tion," is the vehicle.
 The balance of the big quality pro- gram is made up of carefully select ed single reels, rounding out two hour performance of splendid enter taining value amid surroundings that are clean, health and sanitary.

 With throb of glad relief Lang don jumped up and hurried up the shallow stairs to the corridor to meet him, but to his surprise she was not in sight, and only the bellboy was coming leisurely along the hall It seemed curious that Mary could dis appear so suddenly.
 "Where did the young lady go?" he the startled boy cringed as if expect ing a blow.

it over pleasantly says the mother, and even the three-year-o knows what that means, and does it. No Mother Can Afford to Have Quer-
 ulous Children.
 For her own sake, no mother can afford to tolerate querulousness in. her children. Few things wear on the nerves more than a querulous voice or manner. The man who has a good but querulous wife has my deepest sympathy, that is, if he does not cause that querulousness by per. sisting in exasperating habits. And even in that case, I do not think the wife is justified, for querulousness never cured a man yet. It takes the energetic outburst of a pent-up pro- test to move a man, and the querulous woman never stores up her protest, she spends it all in querulousness. . Nobody Pities the Person Who Is AL
 ways Pitying Himself.
 Querulousness is the voice of self pity, and self-pity is a foolish, futile, feckless quality. Nobody needs to pity the person who is always pityins himself-and nobody does.
 There is no room for querulousness in the business world.
 There is no room for it in the social world.
 There is no room for it in the home.
 In short, there is no room for quer- ulousness anywhere in the whole wide world.

 WORKING TO HURRY SHIP MENT OF SENI-PERISHABLES

J HoIlister Tull is working on a proposition to have the railroad company run a pickup car from DeQueen to Heavener for the pur- pose of taking on local shipments of eggs, apples. fall beans and other semi-perishable products destined for Kansas City. The car will be a part of the local freight from De- Queen to Heavener and from thence will be part of the fast freight to Kansas City. Another move is to run similar car from Watts to Neosho. Mo-, and thence on the fast freight to Kansas City. The rail- way company is ready to establish this service and investigation is now being made to ascertain if the ship ments will be sufficient to warrant the undertaking. If the service is established products loaded on the local freight in Mena at noon will be in Kansas City on the second morning thereafter

Van Wagner Loses Suit.

Justice of the Peace l.. N. Burnett rendered judgment Friday for S49.96 against Fred Van Wagner and in favor of Anna Gilliland and Henry Gilliand, plaintiffs, in a suit tried last Monday. The suit was an ac- tion in tort founded on deceit, and was brought to recover Si0O alleged to have been wrongfully obtained by the defendant as agent in the sale of a certain tract of land to the plaintiffs. The amount sued for was the difference between the amount A. E. Kelly, as principal, had agreed to take for the lot and the amount Van Wagner, as agent, received from the Gillilands as pur- chasers. The court in rendering judgment decided that the evidence of both parties showed that prior to the time that Kelly had agreed to take $500 for the lot. plaintiffs had agreed with the agent to pay S550, hence the judgment for the differ enee between S55Q and 5000 the amount actually paid. Tn the mat ter of allowing credit for expenses incurred by the agent. the court ruled out all items except the price Ql revenue stamp, amounting to Tour cents. An appeal to the Circuit court will be taken from the iudg- ment rendered by Justice of the Peace Burnett. The plaintiffs were represented by Col. Pole McPhet- rlge and Minor Pipkin represented the defendant

CHURCH IN GOOD SHAPE.
Presbyterians Hear Reports of Dea-
 cons and Enjoy Refreshments


 The congregational meeting of the PresDyterian church, held on the church lawn Thursday night. proved another happy event for the pas- tor and the members and visitors The report of the deacons. which preceded the social part of the evening, gave clear statement of the business side Of the church and showed the finances of the oreani- zatlOn to be in better shape than they had been in a long time before beglnnlng with the church year in April the Board of Deacons had brought about the use of the du- plex envelope system in the sub- scrlptlons for the support of the church and the beneVolences. and while not all of the members are using the system, the result has been that the financial part of the church is getting on systematic and businesslike basis, a condition real " rare Tn church organizations It mas done even more than that in getting the members in the habit of systematic giving with the result that many are giving more than they ever did before and they are doing it with less financial embar- rassment to themselves.
 At the close of the business ses- slon the members and visitors were treated with refreshments consist ing of ice cream and cake. served by Mesdames M. B. Legate, David E. Dodd and Frank Tomlinson, as a committee from the ladies of the church.
