MY HEART and MY HUSBAND ADELE GARRISCN'S NEW PHASE OF
 Revelations 0f q Wife

 [ l still held the slip of paper ana the cheap envelope which had con- tained it in my hand. I made felnt of consulting il as l answered hlm.
 Mr. Bidgeham.
 'I am Mrs. Graham, yet. May ask in what manner you represent MT. Stockbridgep
 q am one of his attorneys, aS- socated with MT. Horace Kent Tn ms defence"
 A little bell of warning rang in the su ubconscious regions of my Draln' Horace Kent was the name Of the eminent attorney whom Kenneth Stockbridge's uncle had engaged TOT his nephews defence. Alice Hol- combe had pointed him out to me on the streets, a courtly, brainy looking gentleman of the highest cultural class. I did not believe that he wollId tolerate for his associate man of the type who stood before me. If this man were really an attorney, which | could not help doubting, he must belong to the discreditable class I had hear Dicky dub 'shyster lawyers"
 And your name?' My voice was mechanical, purposely.
 My name is-Bridgeham, George Bridgeham. He had hesitated per ceptibly before bringing the words out. A wild suspicion came to me that he had made up the name on the spur of the moment and that the frs syllable Bridge" had occurred to him first because it was part of the principals name.
 "You Have Same Papers"
 "Please be seated MT Bridgeham." I took a chair myself, felt that l needed it, for l had no idea what this strange visit -portendeos and there was a distinct tremor of fright rum ming through my muscles.
 Thank you, m-m-" He cut the last syllable short as he sat down and looked at me furtively to see if I noticed it. I made no sign that l had done so. but I was sure he had started to say ma ann. ''-.4s4
 I waited quietly for him to state his errand, resolved to seize that strategic advantage. For I had the queer, uncanny feeling that in, some inexplicable way this man and I. were at dagger's drawn. .,sl ,, z.
 He waited also, doggedly for fully two minutes, then evidently decided that I did not mean to speak.
 You have some personal papers. | believer, madam. which MT. Stock bridge contided to your care.'
 Again the little warning bell rang in my sub consciousness, t4onN this time it was a louder and more dis tinct peal. I resolved to be exceed ingly wary in my dealings with this Mir. Bridgeham, who stumbled over his own name. 'I am afraid your belief is arrone- ous, MT. Bridgeham, I said sweetly II have only some school records, for which I am personally responsible to MT. Stockbridge and no other"
 1T am afraid you will have to re- fresh your memo as we say some times to witnesses in the court room,' '' he said with more than a touch of insolence. For MT. Stockbridge has commissioned me to get certain personal papers of his which he says you hold"
 For moment I was staggered 1 Kenneth Stockbridge had told me he would send some one for the packet | which l was keeping so religiously 1 for him. But surely the messenger i he would employ for so delicate an errand-one of such vital impor- l tance--could not possibly be the man l before me.
 I cast wildly about in my brain for some way out, found it, and turned to 1 the man facing me.
 MT. Stockbridge must mean the school records" I said positively. , And, of course, you have a written 1 order from MT. Stockbridge for me ! to give them to you D
