My Heart and My Husband
Adele Garrisons New Phase of
Revelations of q Wife

up a running fire of raillery with
Dicky and Alfred Durkee, who sa
facing US in the tonneau, and once
challenged Alfred's mother. who hac
insisted with the pretty fussiness
which always gains her point, upon
sitting in the front seat with hel
driver.
"Oh, Mother Durkee!"
ooh, Mother Durkeew Rita called
audaciously, and then, as my little
neighbor vouchaced no answer, she
called again, Mother Durkee cant
you hear me, or are you so conceited
at sitting in the front seat that you
don't want to-"
Little Mrs. Durkee gave low
laugh. one in which l, who know her
so we'll, recognized the dainty
malicious note of which she is cap
able on occasion.
Il never answer when I'm called
'outen my name,'" she said merrily.
"If you'd said 'stepmother' now it
would have been all right. I'm old
enough to be mother to young
things like Edith and Leila, but not
to Madge or yor. l wasn't married
in my cradle you know"
l was catfish enough to feel like
clapping my hands. With unerring
intuition little Mrs. Durkee had
found the weak place in Rita
Browns armour. Uncommonly
youthful looking she had always pre-
tended to be of the same age as the
Fairfax girls. 1t was pretense
which was successful with men, but
l had known when l first met her, as
indeed would any woman, that the
girls thirtieth birthday was either a
thing of the past, the present or the
immediate future.
Leila Fairfax, next to me, gave
quick. indrawn breath: Dicky,
opposite me, unable to chuckle as l
knew he must be longing to do,
kicked my shoe lightly. Alfred's
face in the moonlight showed a
tightening of the lips, drawing
Of the eyebrows, but he said nothing,
although | was sure that his moth
er's little speech had both displeased
and disturbed him.
But Rita Brown. although I was
certain her slender fingers were mo-
mentarily twitching with the i'm
pulse to strangle some one-any
one-gave no slightest indication of
discomposure. Her laugh rang out
as lightly as ever.
"You must be like my mother"
she said merrily. "She makes every
daughter and daughter-in-law call
her sister"
We drew up to the entrance Of
1.-THE Sand Pile as she spoke, so
there was no opportunity for COM
ment or retort upon little Mrs. Dur
KEGS part if she had wished it. But
l wondered if there had been a chal-
lenge in Rita Browns answer.

SURG|NG CROWDS OF
MEN AND WOMEN SEE
JESS AND JACK BOX

Toledo, Ohio. June 2S.-Surging
crowds of autoists, women and plain
boxing "fans" packed the training
camps of Jess Willard and Jack Demp-
sey today and fought for advantageous
points of observation to see the heavy
weight rivals go through their PAGES
in preparation for their championship
contest next Friday.
Dempsey boxed three fast rounds
with Jack Hempel and three with Wal
ter Monahan, knocking Hempel down
with a right hand punch in the second
round.
The Jamaica Kid of Dempsey's spar
ring staff refused to box with the chal-
lenger because he said his jaw and
stomach were sore from the punishment
CT previous days.
Tate, Z wac claimed, declined to get
into the ring until assured that Demp'
sey would box easily.
The champion displayed moro speed
and snap" in his workout than he has
in a week. and his showing drew praise
from Tommy Ryan of middleweight
championship fame, who declared, after
the workout, that Willard was in con-
dtion to defend his title, which some of
his critics doubt.
81 am of the opinion that Willard is
in condition to fight" Ryan said, land
that he will be at his very best when
he answers the bell next Friday. That
means he will be a big, formidable fight
er. Dempsey may beat him, but IL he
does he will beat the real Jess Willard.
His boxing today was a surprise to me.
He has a good left hand, with snap be
hind it, and he will not have trouble
in reaching Dempsey with it. His right
uppercut is an effective punch, and he
uses it wonderfully we'll"
Predicts Willard Victory.
Victory for Jess Willard, with a
knockout within five rounds, in his
heavyweight championship contest with
Jack Dempsey here July 4, was the pre-
diction today of Walter Monahan, chief
sparring partner for the champion. Mon
ahan based his prediction on his close
knowledge of Wizards physical condi-
ton gained through several years OF
work with him. 1t was Monahan who
conditioned Willard for mis- match with
Jack johnson at Havana.
Dempsey will be the most surprised
man in the world when he let's fly at
Wizards stomach with all the power of
his punches and finds that his blows
will do no damage" Monahan said.
Toledo rapidly is becoming the sport
ing center of the country. Every train
is bringing sporting celebrities in ever
increasing numbers. The list today in
cluded Benny Leonard. the lightweight
champion; Frank Moran, who once
fought Willard for the title; Jack Nc
Auiffe, the only man who retired an
undefeated champion of the world;
Tommy Ryan. former middleweight
champion; Billy Muldoon. a famous
conditioner of athletes, and a score of
others.

DRAFTED MEN MAY BE KEPT
IN SERVICE FOUR MONTHS
AFTER PEACE UNDER LAW

Washington, June 2S.-Government
control or supervision over various
activities has been so relaxed since the
signing of the armistice last Novem.
ber that the signing of the peace treaty
virtually has little effect on most Of
them.
In cases where government supervi-
sion has continued, the laws authorizing
it stipulated that such control should
continue for different periods of months
after the coming of peace. Drafted men,
for instance, may be kept in the service
four months; certain enlistments spec
ify six months. Control of railroads
and wires was by law to continue for
various periods, but measures now
pending in congress for their return
may alter the situation.
In some cases there are differences
of opinion as to whether government
control ends with the signing of peace,
with the ratification of the treaty, or
with the proclamation Of peace by the
president.

LIBERATION OF GERMAN
PRISONERS OF WAR DEPENDS
ON TREATY RATIFICATION

Paris, June 2S.-In the completed
peace treaty signed today at Versailles,
the newspapers say, were certain stipu.
lations which, it was hoped would
hasten ratification Of the treaty by the
German national assembly.
The Journal says that the allies, fol-
lowing the German example Of 1871,
stipulated that the liberation of German
prisoners would be dependent upon rati-
fication of the treaty by the German
assembly and that if the Germans ap.
proved the treaty at once the prisoners
would be released without delay.
