MY HEART AND MY HUSBAND ADELE GARRISON'S NEW PHASE OF
 Revelations of a Wife

l put my memory to work. not SO much to recall what had happened as to be able to relate the same story to Lillian the fact that the husband whose returning she so feared, had been actually on the scene.
 As 1 began talking I saw her Ike the old familiar attitude, her elbow on her knees, her chin cupped in her hands, and knew that--as she herself would express it--she was strictly on the job.'

 \ Subject Dismissed
 She remained in the same contern- plative attitude for two or three min utes after I had finished spea king. evidently docketins and filing aw;~y what I had told her. Then she sprang to her feet and stretched her shapelN arms high above her head.
 Don't bother your head any moro about Mister Jake Wisey" She drawled the name Mrs. Ticer had said vas the mans real one in laugh-pro vol1ins fashion, and l saw that she wished me to think the whole anai" was not of vital importance. But I hlISN LIidl Silc "Ouiu spare no energy i'll hunting down the mans record and 'scotc hing the snake" and realized that she alta aci1cd far more import ance to his activiti than she wished me to know.

 With Nerves Relaxed
 That will just fit in nicely,'' I aid, with the thought of the expected visit of Jack and Katherine lea pin,, into my brain. For a second the announce ment of that visit was very near my lips. I knew that with Lillian the secret of the visit would be safe, but 8 second thought told me that I would have to explain the reason for keeping the visit q surprise to everyone--anl that was Harriet Braithwaite's secret. l had no right to reveal it, even TO Lillian.
 "Everything always fits in nicely with you, doesn't it?'' she replied fondly. giving my shoulder q caress- ing little pat as she passed me. T don't believe ybody ever asked you a favor but what you managed to make it appear that it was the one thing that would suit your convent ence to do.''
 II never saw anyone who could talk the arrant nonsense that you do," ] scolded. ''F'avors forsooth. As If couldn't guess the req son for this sudden trip to toWn.'
 Little girls shouldn't ask que5-, tions.' she said didactically-, 'but should always obey and trust their elders. Come along, let's go back to our dear relatives and friends''
 I obeyed her with nerves relaxed, fears soothe'l. l knew that the mat fer of the man named Jake Wilsey WAS safe in Lillian's capable hands. that ! could give my unhampered at- te1otin1 10 the visit of Jack and Katherine.
