REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Why LiIlian's Voice Rang Out With Certainty at The Thought Of
 Grace Draper.

I have never seen Lillian Under wood study a problem more intently than she did the newspaper clippings underlined with red ink which had received through the mail from some unknown sender, and which l handed to her for inspection, shortly after Katherine Sonnot and I arrived at her home.
 She read them through once, then again, compared the newspaper date lines-Paris and Chicago-and then carefully examined the handwriting on the cheap, grimy envelopes in which they had been enclosed
 Its child's handwriting don't you think so?" ventured Katherine, to whom I had first brought the let ters in order to ascertain whether Mrs. Allis. whom Katherine had been instrumental in conf1ning in a sana- torium for drug addicts, could pos sibly have sent them.
 T don't know" Lillian's tone was detached. I wasn't sure that she had really grasped what Katherine was saying, she appeared so absorbed in her comparison of the sprawling, un- steady chirography on the envelopes which had caused me so much worry.
 When she had finished her scrutiny she laid down the envelopes and go- ing to her desk took out large mag nifying glass through which she again examined the handwriting.
 "A Clever Imitation"
 "I think 1t is a clever imitation of child's writing" she said at last. "Of course I am not sure, but one of my very good friends Is a handwrit- ing expert and he has showed me so many of the exhibits from the crim- inal trials in which he has been en- gagged, that I know some of the ear- marks of disguised handwriting. Very probably the person who sent this got child to copy, under some pretence. a list of names, among which was yours. Then it was an easy matter to study the writing of your name un- til the copying of 1t was a compara- lively simple matter.
 You are certain Mrs. Allis could have nothing to do with this?" she asked Katherine abruptly, although she had already learned from my lit- tie friends lips about the illness of the woman who had once so nearly succeeded in disfiguring me for life. I've just told you the report the sanatorium gave me over the tele- phone." Katherine returned quietly "Of course I have no other source of information.
 Don't take offence, child," Lillian l returned, with one of the rare smiles 1 which atone for her occasional brusqueness when she is unusually in- terested in some problem. What ] mean Is this. would she have planned 1 this thing some time ago, and have given the necessary directions to some friend outside of the sanatorium or have bribed some attendant there 1 to do the work for herr"
 l More Than Revenge?
 T am positive she had nothing tc do with it," Katherine said with de. cision. T inquired particularly as te the kind of treatment she has beer receiving. I know the course of treat ment in her type of cases, and I car assure you she hasn't had the time the inclination or the opportunity fo, anything outside of herself.Y
 '"Tell me, Madge," Lillian< turned tt me with almost tone of entreaty il her voice. Gan you think of no on, you knew before your marriage have known your affairs pretty vel
