nevertheless strangely upset by her
warning.
The first day Madge spends in
the school at which she teaches,
she discovers that there must be
some strange reason for the cold
ness with which Mr.. Stockbridge
treats all of his women teachers.
What the reason is she doesn't
learn until one day after the news
|of the armistice comes. Then Miss
Holcombc, the only teacher who
seems on friendly terms with Mr..
Stockbridge, and the principal, him
self, meet Madge in the office and
break to her the news that Dicky
is reported missing.
In KIND hearted attempt to rush
Madge 10 the quickest train home,
Mr.. Stockbridge almost runs over a
woman who rushes into the path of
the speeding automobile. But Mr..
Stockbridge doesn't slacken speed,
and he leaves Miss Holcombe to ex-
plain to Madge why he has ignored
his wife. for this is who the woman
was. Miss Holcombe tells Madge
of the insane jealousy with which
Mrs. Stockbridge is afflicted, and
leaves Madge to wonder if the wom-
an Miss Holcombe says Mr..
Stockbr;dge really loved in his
youth, isn't Miss Holcombe, herself.
To the amazement of Madge,
Mother Graham takes the news of
Dicky's disappearance far more
calmly than one would have expect
ed, she feels certain Dicky is safe.
In the meantime Major Grantland
comes to aid Madge, and together
they go to see Lillian Underwood,
who is striving to get news about
-Dicky from official friends.
When Major Grantland and
Madge reach Lillian's home they
meet Allen Drake, man high in
the secret service, whom Madge
had once -aided. He tells Madge
that Dicky is reported downed in
his airplane, and word has come
from the enemy lines that an aviator
has. been found badly wounded.
How Madge manages to go on
with her school work during the
weeks that follow is a mystery even
to her. For added to it there comes
worry over Richard Second. Baby
is fretful all the time-awake when
he should be asleep and sleeping
when he should be awake Madge
suspects Cousin Agatha, but she
doesn't know what she could be do
ing. Then it is that Mother
Graham, of her own accord, asks
Madge to find Katie and to bring
her back home.
Madge goes in search of Katie and
discovers that she has been working
behind the partition in a drug store.
At this moment, in fact, Katie is on
her way to bring to Madge startling
news-that Cousin Agatha has been
buying a dangerous medicine, of
whose powers Katie has heard the.
druggist speak in perplexed wonder
that the woman should purchase it,
In frantic haste Katie urges Madge
to hasten home and watch Cousin
Agatha. This Madge does, catching
Cousin Agatha in the act of adding
the drops to Baby's milk. Then
Mother, Graham sends Cousin
Agatha away and she goes to pub
lie home.
There comes to Madge an official
wire. She fears something has hap
pened to Dicky, but the cable is
from Dicky, himself-he is safe
within the American lines, is we'll
and is writing. 1t couldn't have
been Dicky who was found in the
aviator's suit. And when Dicky's
letter arrives this proves to have
been the case. Harry Underwood
had tried to put himself in every
dangerous place and had saved
Dicky at what cost even Dicky
doesn't know.
Mother Graham, who had been
sick when the cable came, instantly
RECEIVERS her spirits and sets about
preparing for her sons homecom-
ing. Madge fears for her strength
in the elaborate house-cleaning and
also what Katie will say to all the
extra work. But Mother Graham
and Katie get along beautifully to-
gether, and then one day Katie's
husband, Jim, comes home. He has
been wounded and isn't able to do
much work, so Katie plans for him
to go to his parents until he is able
to earn his living, but to Madge's
delight-for this is her own secret
plan-Mother Graham imperiously
bids him stay with his wife as their
guest.
The lack of news about Harry
Underwood is a grave strain even
for indomitable Lillian to bear. Her
anxiety is heightened by what she
now tells Madge-that Robert
Savarin had declared his intention
Of seeking Underwood. Knowing
the strange condition of Robert
Savarin's mind, Lillian fears some
thing might happen over there. And
though Lillian loves Robert. .,avarin,
she decides that she will stand by
and wait for Harry Underwood's re-
turn, ready to do whatever is best
for her recreant husband.
Unexpectedly one day telephone
message comes to Madge at school.
Mr.. Stockbridge, the principal, care
fully and thoughtful1y arranges
everything so Madge may receive
her message in his private office un-
interrupted. And thus Madge first
hears Dicky's voice.
He has come home, but he doe sn't
know that Madge is teaching school.
SO Madge-fearing Dicky's pref
udices-doesn't tell him then. She
hastens home to meet him, but one
Of the first things that slip past her
lips is the unintentional disclosure
of her work. Dicky is furious and
demands that Madge instantly give
up her classes. But Madge had
signed a years contract and she
won't break her bond or her word.
In retaliation Dicky tells Madge
that unless she gives up her work
