LOVE and MARRIED LIFE
By the Noted Author
IDAH McGLONE GIBSON

Hasn't he said anything to yo,
about them" l asked. He must have
known that you tead the letter, be.
cause you inclosed it with one of
yours to him, you remember"
That's just the reason why | am
SO unhappy. He has never mentioned
IA word about it TO me and wrote
him saying that l had opened little
Ruth's letter By mistake, as of course
you know I did. Since he returned
there has not been a word said be-
tween us on the subject. 1 am sure II
he did not feel so deeply about the
loss OF his children he would have
spoken to me about it."
He never seemed to be crazy
about them while he was still mar
ried to Ruth" l remarked.
Very Fond of Them
u think, however, he must have
been very fond Of them" she an
swered, "be cause. oh, Katherine I
must tell YOU the whole story" and
her voice broke with a kind of strang-
ling sob. although he has said
nothing about those darling letters,
ard you know, my dear, they were
the kind of letters that would touch
the heart of the most self-contained
man, which he is not, the other night
when l went upstairs to his room to
call him down to dinner | found him
sitting In front of the CRATE looking
INTO the Goals and in his hand were
these letters. AS he heard me com
ing he crumpled the sheets in his
hand that might'not see them and a
little later he put them in the person
al drawer of his desk.
Katherine, | fear no other woman
in the world, but l am afraid, / am
afraid can not hope to rival Bob's
children.

jeered.
Old Mr., Chow felt that he haG
been terribly insulted. He looked a.
d.gnified as he could. And he would
have turned his back on the stranger
had he dared.
While he was wondering whether
he had better fly away, or stay and
quarrel with the rude person who had
pelted him, the boorish stranger
leaped from the tall tree into the
smaller one where Mr.. Grow was sit
ting. Then, dropping nimbly from
limb, with the help of his hands and
his feet and his tail, he stopped at
last when he had reached Mr.. Crows
level
one thing was certain. The strang-
er was bold as brass He looked Mr..
Crow up and down. And then he
said:
YOU'RE a gay old bird! What's
your name?"
Now, no doubt some people would
have on Mr.. Grow observed. Il
er liked to be called gay, because he
couldn't help looking solemn. And
most people knew he was very old
And everybody was aware he was
bird. SO he said hoarsely;
MY name is Mister Crow-and
please don't forget the Mister"
The stranger put on his flat-topped
red cap and touched the visor smart
ly with his right hand in military
manner.
Old Mr.. Grow couldn't help admif-
ing the newcomers clothes. He wore
a red coat trimmed with gold braid
and bright blue trousers.
That's handsome suit that you
have on,"I Mr.. Grow observed :"
shouldn't mind having one like it
myself"
The stranger seemed pleased. And
he touched his cap again.
I'm afraid you can't have a suit
like this he said IT'S a uniform
that's what it is. And, of course.
plain Mister like you can't wear un-
form. But wear one because I'm
4 soldier"
Old Mr.. Grow was disappointed.
But he soon frightened up. Though
he wasn't a soldier himself, at least i,
was pleasant to know one. so he de-
cided to forget that he had been
angry with the stranger
What's your name?" he asked

hand and catching it with the Other

as much as droops an eyelid that he
