REVELATIONS
 OF A WIFE
What Madge Did After She'd Read Dicky's Telegram, to Clear Her
 Doubts Away.

Do YOU care to see Dicky's answer to my wire asking him to como to Katferne's wedding?"
 Lillian asked the question casually the morning after our farewell to Jack and Katherine. Her careless tone didn't deceive. me, however. I felt there was something in the long night letter which Dicky had sent her that was of moment to me.
 "Oh, surely" I replied as carelessly and the next moment I was reading the sheets of yellow paper which she had handed to me.
 Regret exceedingly being away
 when your wire arrived. Just re-
 ceived 1t. Sorry not to have been
 with you. Please forward con
 gratulations, best wishes, Jack,
 Katherine. Could not have left
 here anyway. DO not send for me
 unless gravest emergency. This
 left to your own judgment. Con-
 ident Madge and mother safe
 with you looking out for them.
 Love. DICKY.'
 I read it through three times before I looked up with puzzled eyes at 1i1~ liam. knew enough of Dicky's methods of work and of his relations with editors to be sure that the reason for his failure to respond to Lillian's invitation was not 3. pressure of work. And the rest of the telegram was like a Chinese enigma. Only one thing could I gather from it--Dicky didn't intend to come home for a long time, and he had wilfully hidden from me the real cause of his absence.
 A Thought That Hurts.
 Lillian was watching me keenly. AS I looked up at her something of the misery in my eyes must have reached her, reused the protective spirit which she always has for me. She sprang to her feet with an indignant little eXcla,- mation.
 I'd like to get hold of the Dicky bird she said vindl,tive]y. I'd make him quit some of his foolish ness. He always was the most scat ter-brained youngster going, with all sorts of fantastic ideas floating around in his alleged brain."
 Have you any suspicion as to which particular notion he's pursuing now?" I asked. hardly realizing what I was saying, so bewildered and hurt was l at Dicky's strange message.
 Not the slightest. SnG TGtuTneQ prom ptly, a shade too promptly, l de- 2ided. There leaped into life the con yiction that Lillian was reservin|g an opinion concerning Di'cky.
 And then my ina gination, inf1amed by fostering little thoughts which l had rigidly suppressed, ran away with me. I tried to summon common sense 10 my rescue. but the last vestige of it appeared to have vanished. To me, now, there appeared but one reason for Dicky's absence, his strangeness of demeanor--Edith Fairfax.
 "Shc Has Just Returned--''
 IL was several minutes before I could school my voice to calmness. I didn't wish Lillian to suspect my agi-' tation or my coniectures. And when a t last 1 did speak it was to make some idle remark concerning Kathe- rine's gowns. and Lillian, taking my cue, promptly shifted to that topic of lconversa ton.
 I brooded over the thing the rest of the morning, and after luncheon I made a decision.
 I would find out for myself where Edith Fairfax was.
 'Lillian,' I said with as careless an

 Almost any cold vegetable is de- Hcious in a salad but it should be re- membered that there should be two parts of oil to one of vinegar in the dressing.

CYCLONE HITS SHELBY
One Soldier Killed, Score Hurt, in
Mississippi Cantonment.

Camp Shelby. Miss, April 1s.-One
soldier was killed and more than a
score injured as the toll of cyclone
which swept a portion of this canton
ment late yesterday.
Private Vaughn Beekman, Marion,
Ind, member of the 125th Indiana in
fantry, was struck by lightning and in
stantly killed during the height of the
storm. His body was buried under
flying debris of nearby buildings.
Other soldiers had narrow escapes
from serious injury. The carpenters
of a construction gang were also in
jured.
The wind hit in the region of the
base hospital and cut path seventy
feet wide thru the big structure. For
tunately none of the occupied wards
was struck.
The cyclone was one of the worst
that has ever visited this section. 1t
is considered miraculous that the loss
of life was not greater. The injuries
of the soldiers were confined mostly
to cuts and bruises

of Irish nationalists, Sim Feiners,
O'Brienites and laborites held in Dub

In their resolution the bishops de-
clared that consumption was being
forced on Ireland, that it was an op-
pressive and inhuman act which the
Irish have a right to resist by all
means consonant with the law of
God" The Irish clergy was directed
to announce days for receiving con-
tributions of money and parish meet
ings will be held next Sunday to gain
adherents to the resolution.
