Is Dicl1y Really Jealous.

Had I dropped bomb shell into the middle of the dinner table, around which the Underwoods, Grace Draper, Dicky and I were gathered, I do not think it would have caused more as- tonishment than did the little quota tion I had recklessly cast at Harry Underwood in returning his ral1lery.
 The sight of Grace Draper and my husband in intimate, lOw-tOned con- versation, coupled with the know ledge of Dicky's undue interest in the girl, had maddencd me. At just that psychological moment Harry Un- derWOOd had uttered some nonsense about being my partner in manufac- turing a steamed clam dressing 1 had concocted, and l had responded au- daciously in the refrain of a popular song: ITO the end of the world Wlth you.'
 I suppose in my excitement l must have pitched my voice higher and louder than is usual with me. At any rate, I was terrified at the sound of my own voice. It seemed to my inn aeination as if I had blown a trumpet and the sound had paralyzed the diners.
 Dicl1v turned around as if he had been shot and stared open-mouthed at me.
 Miss Draper looked mildly aston ished and I fancied there was a bit of malice in the wondering look she bestowed upon me.
 Tillian's eyes twinkled with an ap- nrOving amusement that reaSsured me Only her husband presented an absolutely unmoved exterior, although I knew that really he was the most astonished of any one at the dinner table.
 That's a bargain,' he said gayly, remember I have your pr-r-r-o1n- ise."
 The words were light enough. the expression on his face was one o1 careless bantering, but l had an un- comfortable little feeling that behind the badinage lurked an 1ndehnaple sinister something which l always felt menacing when in this man presence. I regretted the mad i'm pulse that had given birth to the rash words I had uttered.
 Dicky is Puzzled.
 But Dicky's attitude during the rest of the dinner made me wonder if, perhaps I had not struck the right way of dealing with him after all. He was plainly puzzled.
 I have always been quiet and re- served, and have guarded my own

dignity closely. He has heard me ex- press my dislike of Harry Under wood, and must have guessed my re- sentiment of the mans burlesqued air of devotion to me- so that the sound of my voice in bit of vulgar rcpartee addressed to his friend must
 have startled him.
 Of course, he took no open notice
 of the incident, but there was no more absorption in Miss Draper's fas-
 cinations. Seated between her and Lillian Underwood he divided his re-
 marks and attentions impartially be- tween them for the rest of the meal Every little while he cast furtive
 glance in my direction, which would
 have greatly amused me if the re-
 ceipt of it had not meant so much tC me emOtionally.
 The sight of his puzzled uneasiness
 was like heady draught to me. Sure
 ly l reasoned to myself, my ugly little fOrebodingS concerning Harry Un- derWood's probable future conduct were too ridiculous for consideration 1 knew that l was not hurting Lil- llan'S feelings by encouraging her husbands raillery, for I had long un- derstood the matter -of-fact relations between the Underwoods
 Besides, l knew that Lillian would approve any action of mine calcu- lated to distract Dicky's attention from his beautiful model. made no further reckless speeches but l purpOSeiy made my manner to- ward Harry Underwood more friend ly than I had ever done before The way in which he responded to
 an unwonted friendiiness treasured Iofn had the feeling that there was no
 word or look of mine that escaped him, yet there was no hint of the un-
 welcome admiration which had mar red my other talks with him. I told myself that my imagination had led me wildly astray in my con- ception of the man. There probably was nothing sinister at all beneath the surface of the exaggerated bur- lesque with which he was wont to garnish his conversation.
 What Harry Said. By the time the dinner was over and we had adjourned to the living room for our after-dinner coffee, I felt that I had misjudged Harry Un- derWood Woefully, that he was in reality a charming and wholly harm less acquaintance.
 He escorted me to big easy chair drew another one near it and set tied down as if he meant to be a fix ture there for the rest of the even- ing.
 We had barely finished our coffee, however, before Dicky attempted to break up this little arrangement.
 Here Tommy Tucker, you must sing for your supper," he announced, coming over to where we sat.
 "Not much I don't,' returned MT. Underwood. 1T am entertaining Mrs. Graham for my bit"
 You lazy pup" Dicky retorted, with a threatening gesture. If you don't come out of that this minute and let out that Henri Scott voice of

l She is the worst hand ever saw at taking criticism," said Molly, the little stenographer lady.
 What makes you say so ?" said the Lady-Who o-always- ys-knows-somehow.
 Molly's eyes opened saucer wide.
 Did you ever hear her admit that she was wrong about anything?" she demanded. She's almost as bad as a. man that way'
 Her Trumpcd-Up Excuse.
 Bad as man?" echoed the Cynic Il like that! If you can show me any man that will, try to squeal out of things and justify himself by any ar gument at all the way she does, I'll eat my hat. Did you hear her the Oth- CT day when we accused her of never being willing to put herself out to come and see us but wanting us to make all the effort? What was that excuse that she trumped up, that she didn't like to leave the house alone, because they are likely to have a wire about that cousin who is so sick? She's been sick about two weeks talking about the past six mOnths.'
 t"That's nothing to what a man can do when he tries," said Molly, wither- ingly, "but it's bad enough. What want to know is why big sister doesn't think SOL

yours I'll make your face look like a German trench.'
 Mr. Underwood raised himself to his full height, and turned a sorrow full, pitying glance at Dicky What ever else he may be he is 8 wonder fully clever actor. Dicky told me once that MT. Underwood was form erly a member of the theatrical pro- fession. As I watched him in his pantomime with Dicky I wondered why he had ever left it.
 He laid his hand on Dicky's shoul- der tenderly.
 <'So sad to see how far jealousy will carry a man." he said patronizingly. Then he bowed to me.
 Don't grieve too much, little one," and his tone had the old moc1ing note I disiked. T shall soon return"
 He walked toward the piano. To my surprise Dicky's face had red dened at the other mans bantering. l caught my breath as he turned to speak to me. After all, he was Jeal- OuS of Harry Underwood!

MARTYR TO HIS DUTY
Italian Officer Falls As He Calmly Chops Away Wire EntangIemcnts Holding His Troops Back.

Paris, Aug. g, 5:15 a. m.-The dra- matic death of the commander of the Italian troops that stormed the Austrian second line trenches on Monte San Michele is described in a despatch to the Petit Parisien from it's correspondent on the Italian front.
 The despatch says: The enemy of- fered their most intense resistance at the second line trenches on Monte San Michele. Our men dashed for ward at run to find one trench still protected by wire entangleme ents. The commander of the attacking battalion said: Boys, we've got to pass Talk ing hatchet he cut a passage through the wire calmly and delib- erateIy. Just as he completed his task he fell into the arms of the soldiers, shot through the heart. But the trench had been made and the Italians swarmed through into the Austrian lines.'
