MY HUSBAND AND l
ny JANE PHELPS

Mr.. Frederick, so anxious did I feel.
Then I could not bear to ask anything
more of him, and simply pleaded with
Neil to be careful-to no avail.
Meanwhile the days and weeks were
slipping by and Fate or whatever we
may call it, was quietly. steadily per-
sistently working out her own ends
and our salvation, as is her wont.
Then all suddenly we, the United
States were in the war. 1t had hap
pened almost over night, at least the
realization of it had to those of us who
had secuted the idea that we could
by any possibility, be drawn into
the frightful vortex convulsing the
allied nations.
Among the first to offer his re-
sources to our government was Mr..
Frederick. His vast manufacturing
plants were turned into munition
works, his immense fortune put to
work to save the world. And because
of his quick grasp of affairs. Neil was
made chief OF his many lieutenants
Frederick had said to him:
You have vision Forbes, and that
is what we need. You are executive,
that is also what we need, and you
have patriotism. which we must have.
/ believe you are the man for the
place. Will you undertake it?"
The salary was very large, but Neil
earned every bit of 1t. He would have
liked to have Joined the army. had
MS ODuSdIlOnS not prevented also the
belief that he, could do more for his
country by remaining at his post. we
talked it all over, and both agreed he
was needed at home. He was too old
for the draft so would not be taken.
If he had worked and shaved before
he worked and shaved a hundred tines
as hard now. He had no thought of
self, no care save to make good. His
life was aften endangered because OF
his business, and his outspoken views.
Robert and I lived on in our little
home. sometimes not seeing Nell for
days together. Often the mills were
threatened, they had found more than
one bomb, and he kept a constant sur
veillance over all Frederick-who was
now in Europe-had intrusted to him
When the men who were working for
the best interests of our government
wre mentioned. NeiPs name was in
variably near the top OF the list Men
were forgetting he had been black
listed because of his schemes. Events
crowded one upon another so swiftly
that yesterday was forgotten 1t was
today, now. that counted.

THE PROMOTERS WIFE
BARBARA VISITS NEIL IN HIS
NEW, ENVIRONMENT.
CHAPTER CXX.

CHAPTER CAA-
While we saw so little of each other
at this time-he often came home
just in time to go to bed think Neil
and I were closer together in spirit
than we ever had been since the first
days Of our marriage. He talked
freely to me of his business, what he
hoped to accomplish beyond what was
expected of him. In all that was per-
sonal he let me share. while never
talking of things which he thought be-
longed entirely to his employer. He
had developed a nicely of discrimina-
ton and was not diverted from 1t in
any particular.
One day I visited his office I sell
dom went into town. 1t was not neces-
sary, and so an extravaganza. I was
really surprised at the difference in the
appearance of this and the old office,
so immaculate. There the desk was
clean. everything locked away. Here
the desk, large table, strewn with
papers, pigeon holes all bullying, a
work desk indeed. Neil and the office
force all working together in harmony.
Someway the difference impressed
me more than anything that had-hap-
pened with The stability of Neils work
as compared with his promoting
projects Here was real business, work
that had no need to be hidden. because
no false representations were made.
Office doors were not locked altho
they were so busy one had to be an
nounced. In every slightest detail was
the contrast impressed upon me. 1
wondered why I had not suspected
long before I did that all was not right
Had I. might have tried to persuade
Neal to-here my thoughts halted.
realized that--as Neil was then-noth-
ing I could have said would have
made any difference. As he was now,
he would have seen the wrong and
rfphted II himself without nv fufar-
ference.
Neil had charge of the manufac-
turing end of Mr.. Frederick's business
II had grown enormously since he
took charge, partly owing to the war.
His commissions amounted to far
more than his salary. far more than
either of us had dared hope. But If
his health should fail under the strain
what good would it dor At times
thought I should have to appeal to
