Has Alice Holcombe Come to Aid
Madge in a Difficult Situation?

The movie theater was darkened
for the second run when we reached
it, and we had difficulty in finding
seats.
At last the usher found two about
midway down the hall, next the
wall, and we climbed over a num-
Der of resentful people to our
places. We had no means of know
ing whether or not Mas Dean was
in the house until the film, to my
mind an unusually dreary and unin-
teresting one, had been run out, and
the lights were flashed on for two
or three minutes before the next
feature.
Dicky saw her first. He had been
eagerly looking for her since the
moment the lights came on, and |
pretended to share his interest. al
though l would have been glad in
deed to have been assured OF the
girls absence from the place.
There she isr' my husband ex-
claimed in a tone which he forgot
or didn't care to lower. At any
rate it turned several heads in our
direction, and made me draw back
flushed and resentfully embarrassed
at the attention we were attracting.
He nudged me as he spoke. and |
followed his glance to a point al
most directly opposite us, but on
the other side of the theater, where
Bess Dean, in the hame-colored
gown she had worn at the Stock
bridge reception, sat beside Alice
Holcombe.
Don't Worry"
What do you know about that?"
Dicky muttered in a tone that be-
trayed annoyance. She's got the
old girl with her. I didn't count on
having to play the gallant to her"
I could not help but smile at his
masculine obtuseness, even while |
hotly resented his disrespectful al
fusion to the woman | cared most
for in the whole roll of Bayview
teachers, the woman for whom l
had grown to have a sincere affec-
ton. Manlike, Dicky was hruring
that Miss Holcombe's presence
meant that he would have but little
chance for Miss Deans society,
while any woman could have told
him that the younger woman had
brought the older woman along to
talk to me so that she could secure
Dicky's undivided attention.
Don't worry" | assured him in a
whisper. Alice Holcombe and |
always have oceans of words to say
to each other, so III relieve you Of
that responsibility"
II didn't quite mean that" Dicky
said contritely after we had both
acknowledged Bess Deans gay
smile and wave of the hand and
Alice Holcombe's soberer saluta-
ton. Miss Holcombe's mighty
fine woman, no doubt, but she's too
clever for me. I'm afraid of that
drawl of hers-too much brains and
critical power behind it. l felt the
other night when I stood talking
to her as though she had put nle on
a spindle or a pin point or what
ever those scientists put the bugs
they're studying on, and was look
ing me over to see if l had the re-
quisite number of joints"
What Madge Guessed.
ooh, Dicky" expostulated,
smiling in spite of myself. "You
do her an injustice. She's really one
of the dearest, sweetest"
"I'll take your word for it,"

MyHeart and My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
"Revelations of a Wife

Dicky interrupted lazily. Don't
try to prove it to me. Besides. a
woman as good looking as she is
has no business to look as dowdy
and old as she does tonight"
| looked at my friend, and was
forced to acknowledge that Dieky's
criticism was in part justified. Alice
Holcombe did look old. and she
wasn't her usually well-groomed
self. Her wonderful hair had evil
IDENTIFY been done up hastily, she
had on the same suit she had worn
in her classroom that afternoon. and
her whole appearance suggested
that she had been lying down and
had hastily arisen and come to the
theater.
The conviction came to me sud-
denly that this was just what she
had done. With a little fame of
anger at my heart l saw the whole
mean little scheme of Bess Deans
as if | had been present when she
had unfolded it.
With the idea that her own youth
full prettiness would stand out more
strikingly against foil, she must
have purposely delayed her request
to Alice Holcombe to join us until
too late for the older woman to
freshen her toilet.
Another realization came to me.
Alice Holcombe was too clever to
allow her associate to use her I'M
less she had a compelling motive
for so doing. With a construction
of my throat | knew that my friend
had come to the theater regardless
of her own appearance because she
fancied she might in some way aid
me in difficult situation.

Allies May Withdraw From
Russia bV End of Summer

London, May 30.-Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, secretary for war,
speaking in the House of Commons

from 10 to six divisions and still
more when it was seen that peace

Judge Tigner Thinks
Enemy Burned Home

That Judge G. Y. Tigner's home,
destroyed by fire at an estimated loss
of $4,000 this week, was burned
by some enemy who had been con-
victed and sentenced in his court
the city court of Columbus-is the
expressed belief of the judge, VINO
declares that there had been no fire
in the back II the house where the
blaze started within tWenty-four
hours prior to the discovery of the
blaze.
Judge Tigner says there is no
doubt but that the fire was of an
incendiary origin, and the city ana
county officers are investigating the
case from many angles today. AS
yet no arrests have been made.
The Tigner rome was one of the
Oldest and perhaps. the prettiest IN

wood, in the center OF a five-acre
square and quilt of old-fashioneu

eleven rooms, all of which were ele-

ing of the best makes of years ago,
much of it being of walnut and other
hardwood materials. All of this was
lost, together with other effects and
even a lot of War Savings Stamps
and several Liberty Bonds went up
in smoke with the beautiful home.

Baker I Presents Plan
Tor Tank Corps Camp
Near Columbus, Ga.

Plans for permanent development
Of large artillery training fields at
West Point. Ky, and Fayetteville, n.
C., and a rifle, machine gun training
ana tank corps establishment at Co
lumbus, Ca, were presented to the
senate military committee in Wash
inSton by Secretary Baker.
Before proceeding further with
work on the three projects, Secretary
Baker said the advice and approval
of congress was desired, but that all
American military advisers believe
the three fields are absolutely es-
sential for proper training Of the
regular army in peace times
> Modern warfare has shown the
need for q very different kind of
training for the army than VIC have
had" Mr.. Baker explained, adding
that the general staff is proceeding
on the assumption for the present
that q regular army of at least oOO,-
600 men will be authorized.
"Military men all feel that the
three projects are necessary and alb
Sclutely essential" declared the sec
rotary, explaining that barrage and
mass training Of men both in artil-
Iery and machine gun and rifle prac-
tice, is deemed desirable. The Fort
Sill grounds are not large enough
for that purpose.

ing Of the armistice; and now it Is;
proposed to train tank units at the

committee that the Tobyanna, Pa,
field is to be retained, but could not
state what disposition will be made
