CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
WHAT YOU GET FREE, YOU PAY FOR MOST

Dear little Lady Saliva, you have
given me the only real substantial
happiness l have ever known. Until
l knew you did not know God made
such women. Had l known you ear
her would have been a better man."
My dear Malcolm, I am the aver
age woman, neither better nor worse,
am afraid. l think MOllie will make
more Of her life than !, and I am sure
Mary and Eliene have already done
so. l wonder if you eyer met my dear
Annie Lafferty. There is a woman
who has certainly made bricks with
out straw. have only lived from
day to day, trying always to do the
duty that was nearest me-and
sometimes, am afraid, I have not
done that"
Il want to meet your husband,
Margie-I want to make friends with
him, interrupted Malcolm at this
point. Sometimes l think he has in
tentiOnally avoided me-"
mo, l don't think that, Malcolm.
You must remember you have been
in the city where our home is but a
rev umeS. You know me because
you have written to me and felt sorry
for me. For the last few years I have
been more or less in your thoughts.
And you have been away when he
has been down here. l am sure it is
all force Of circumstances. 1 know
you would like Dick-he is a real
man. He lacks your artistic tempera-
ment, but you would find much in
him to admire"
THAT isn't it, Margie. It is wheth-
er your husband would like me. You
see l have lived so long outside the
world and activities of men that
sometimes when I am with them l
find they speak a different language
from mine. For many years have
paid no attention to business, which
may account for this in a measure"
We'll, you will have a chance to
see Dick tomorrow. He is coming

never seen you in such a pessimistic
mood before"
Immediately, little book, Malcolm
Stuart forced a very different smile
to his lips as he said: Perhaps, little
Lady Saliva, it is because for the first
time in my life l want something that
is not for sale-sOmething that l
cannot buy"
Why don't you try to make the
people who have it give it to you,
Malcolm? l have always noticed the
things that money cannot buy are
those that are usually given freely
and without price"
He walked away from me quickly
and went over to the railing. Then
as quickly turned around and came
back again.
My dear Margie, no one in all the
world has ever given me anything"
he said.
"Oh, yes, they have" I answered.
you just remarked DR.. Virot and I
had given you something you value
very much"
But, my dear girl, am really pay
ing more for it than for anything l
even bought in my life"

you, MaIcOlm?" asked with a smile.
I asked my question idly, for I
thought he was fooling, as l was, but
I was really frightened, little book,
when l saw his face change. 1t whit
ened until thought all his blood was
leaving his heart. His lips frightened
and the eyes widened with pain.
yes, dear little Lady Saliva, I am
finding it very hard to be gOod-sO
hard that at times I am almost sure
some day I'll succumb to the temp
tation that assails me and then l
know I shall lose you and your dearly
bought friendship"

American Aviator Escapes After Being Captured by Germans

LONDON. Nov. 29.--Lieut. Patrick
OBrien of Momence, H., south of
Chicago, the first American member
of the British flying corps to escape
from Germany, has arrived in Lon
don. O'Brien eluded his captors by
jumping from the window of a speed
ing train. He then became a fugitive
for ~ days and as his goal was in
sight narrowly escaped electrocution
from the charged wires along the Hol-
land frontier.
O'Brien. who is a sturdy young
man of 81, was flying in the American
aviation squadron at San Diego, Cal :,
when he went to Victoria. B. c.. and
obtained commission In the Cana
dian army. Going to France the next
year he distinguished himself by his
great daring over the German lines.
on August IS, during a battle in
which he was shot thru the upper lip,
OBrien fell with his damaged air
plane from height Of eight thousand
feet.
O'Brien says he cannot explain why
he was not killed. When he regained
consciousness he was In German
hospital.

O'Brien did not know the German
language. but he used a little French
on kindly Belgian, who was so happy
to meet an American in British uni
form that he sheltered him for sew
eral days The Belgian then ~gave
him old clothes to cover his uniform
and directed him TO the nearest route
to. the frontier. O'Brien swan the
river Muse near Namur and the next
day was challenged by German sem
tries. who decided he was peasant.
But his narrowest escape was re.
served for his last day as a fugitive,
when he could see Dutch territory. To
circumvent the charged wires O'Brien
built bridge in nearby wood and
threw It across the wires, but II broke
under his weight and OBrien re-
ceived shock which he says he can
still feel.
When he recovered he dug with his
bare hands a tunnel under the wire
and altho II was slow progress. after
several hours he had hole big enough
to crawl thru, which he did unob-
served. He then hunted up q British
consul and arranged for transpor-
tation to London.

Later the lieutenant spent three
weeks at prison camp at Coutrai be-
fore he was started for the interior of
Germany. There were three other
prisoners under a strong guard in his
compartment when O'Brien, as a ruse,
had the window opened by complain
ing Of the smoke. The train was
now sixty miles inside of Germany
and travelling at thirty miles an hour.
But O'Brien decided to take a des-
perate chance. He jumped from the
train. skinning the whole side of his
face. reopening the wound In his lip

the morning and the dark
ness shielded him. When he recovered

the vigorous objection of the defense.
DR.. w. II. Burmeister, pathologist and
coroner's physician of Cook county

testify today at the trial of CASTOR b.
Means that in his opinion it would
have been impossible FOR Mrs. Maud

caused her death at Blackwelder
Springs, near here, the night of Au-
gust 20.
Examination of Mrs. Kings body
at Chicago by DR.. Burmeister after
n. local coroner had decided that her
death was accidental resulted in the
starting of new investigation and
the subsequent arrest OF Means on q
charge of being her slayer. DR.. Bur-
meister told the jury that the wound

that there were no powder stains and
that he believed 1t would have been
impossible for n woman as stout as
Mrs King to have inflicted the wound
