REVELATIONS OF 4 WIFE

The cracking OF the logs in Lii
Ian Underwood library CRATE was
the only sound 10 be heard for many
minutes after she had told me Of the
little daughter who had been so
cruelty shut away from her life.
With her elbow resting on the arm
OF her chair. her chin cupped in her
hand. her whole body leaning to
ward the warmth OF the fre, she
sat gazing into the leaping flames
as II she were trying 10 read an then

patiently waited on her mood
That she would open her heart 10
me further ] knew. out I did not
wish 10 disturb her with either
word or movement.
4 knew you would be like this. 20
she said at last Almost any other
woman would have gone of on an
emotional tangent over this story Of
mine. especially when II so concern
ed herself But YOU know enough
10 keep still when YOU see a situa
ton that no words can help. It's
a rare GIFT, my dear Cherish H. ="
Ny face flushed with pleasure at
her words OF praise. but my only
answer was a low. sincere Thank
YOU, at which she nodded and fell
silent again.
"I might as well begin at the
beginning" There was a note in her
voice that all at once made me see
the long years OF suffering which
had been hers. only the beginning
Is so commonplace that IL lacks in
terest II is the record OF very
mediocre stenographer with aspira-
tfons"
That she was spea king Of herself
her tone told me. but was genuine
" surprised. Mrs Underwood was
the last woman in the world one
would picture as holding down a
stenOgrapher's position.

idea OF learning 10 draw" she went

at last ! began TO get a foothold
and then when 7 had enough put by

Her voice was as matter OF fact
as IL she were describing a visit TO
the family butcher shop. But I visu-
allied the busy. plucky years with
their reward of Paris as if I had
been spectator Of them.
'Of course. by the time 7 got

there ! was almost old enough to
be the mother. or. al least, the elder
sister OF most OF the boys and girls
I met and I had learned life and
experience IN a good. hard school.
Some OF the youngsters got the habit
OF coming 10 me with all their
troubles. fancied or real ] made
some stanch friends in those DAYS,
but never stancher truer one than
Dicky Graham"
I started in surprise Dicky had
told me of mis- studies IN Paris and
of the gay, careless time ne spent
there. but he had never mentioned
Mrs. Underwood as having been one
Of mis- circle. As I thought Of it. /
remem bered that Dickv. aside from
praising Mrs. Underwood as a bully
good scout and characterizing her
as one Of his oldest friends. had
said very little about her TO me.
Mrs Underwood saw the move
ment She turned and put her hand
on mine smiling half humorously,
half-tenderly.
Tell me. dear girl. when YOU were
teaching those history classes, did
any Of your boy pupils fall in love
with you?"
answered her with an mbar-
rassed little laugh Her questions
called up memories Of shy glances
gifts Of flowers and fruit. boyish
confdences-all the things which
fall to the lot Of any teacher Of
boys.
Well, then, YOU will understand
me when I tell YOU that in the studio
DAYS in Paris Dicky imagined him
self quite in love with me"
There was something in her tone
and manner which took all the
sting out of her words for me Ali
the jealousy AID real concern which
] had spent on this old attachment
of my husband for Mrs. Underwood
vanished as / listened 10 her. She
might have been Dicky's mother
speaking OF his early and injudicious
fondness for green apples
81 shall always be proud Of the
way T mana ged Dicky that time 80
Her voice still held the amused ma
ternal note. It's so easy for an older
woman TO spoil boys life in a case
like that If she's despicable enough
TO do il. But. you see, I was genu-
inely fond Of DicHy. and vet not the
least bit in love with him. and 7 was
a BILE. without his guessing it. to keep
the management of the affair i'm my
own hands. So when ne woke up,
as boys always do, 10 the absurdity
of the idea. there was nothing i'm his
recollections OF me to spoil our
friendship"

WHEAT SUBSTITUTION.

One can talk, and talk, and then
talk some more on the necessity Of
saving wheat and still there are
women who will argue that the small
amount of wheat they use doesn't
amount 10 anything" Here are
some figures which should start
those women 10 thinking.
The women OF the Elder school
district were asked by Miss Leila
Ogle. federal food demonstration. TO
keep a record for two weeks of the
amount of wheat and substitute
fioUrs used by them. At the end OF
the two weeks the cards returned TO
Miss Ogle showed that Is families
home made bread. had consumed
$50 pounds of substitutes and 10
pounds Of wheat -four. making a
total Of $50 pounds The food ad-
ministrator allows the use of half
and half. so those families could
have used. legitimately. 165 pounds
Of wheat -four. Their saving. then
above that required by the food ad-
ministration, was 95 pounds OF
wheat
Surely results like these should
encourage the use OF substitutes
even when the quantity used is so
slight that II is seemingly unnec-
essary.
