REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY ADELE cARzIsoH.
Madge Is Convinced That Mrs. AIlis Is
Dangerous Enemy.

understood the grim caIIousness
with which Katherine Sonnet regarded
the unconscious figure of Mrs Allis
when she told me that the woman was
full of cocaine
Long experience with drug victims
had given her a weary contempt for
the ordinary type, although / could well
imagine that if her sympathies were
aroused by someone who was really
trying to break the bonds Of such
habit, no one could be such a loving
tower of strength as Katherine
But, to my unaccustomed eyes, the
woman on the bed looked pitifully in
need of care, and the remembrance of
the wild gesture with which Mrs. Allis
had clasped her eyes before collapsing
smote my conscience.
I'm sure that ammonia went into
her eyes, Katherine. said. Wont 1t

mot permanently" she returned
coo1ly. If she weren't so dead to the
world with the effects of that cocaine,
she'd be screeching with pain now and
be unable to see for few hours But
by the time she wakes from this, the
pain in her eyes won't be very fierce,
and she'll be able to see all right. I'm
sorry she's so full of that drug" she
added vindictively. I'D like to see her
suffer a bit"
why. Katherine!" I said reproach-
fully. please don't say that"
Gust Look"
Don't let foolish sentiment run away
with you, Madge," Katherine returned
Just look at your bathrobe and the
rug beneath 1t. and / think youn find
your sentimental sympathy will ooze
out your finger ends"
Ny eyes followed Katherine's point
ing finger. and / saw that the acid
in the bottle 1 had forced downward
from Mrs. Allis' maddened hand had
eaten great hole in the fabric of my
bath robe and other raeeed holes in
the rug where we had stood.
THAT stuff would have had the
same effect upon your face" Rather

I couldn't answer for the horror Of

sharply. then snatched up one Of the
sheets from the bed.

asked. practically, cor win you get

II, as I suspect, her object was TO
divert my mind. her ruse succeeded.
I was filled with curiosity at once.

But why?"

Of her in this rig she indicated her
flowing dressing gown. And while
I'm perfectly sure she'll stay uncon-
seious while I'm gone, don't pro-
pose to take any chances with her"
She took the shell and tore 4 70
strips. These she passed securely
around the unconscious woman's an
kles and made them fast to the bed
posts. With other strips she confined
the woman's body so that even Il she
regained consciousness she would be

NOT BY The SEA.

Not by the sea, but somewhere in the
hills,
Not BY the sea, but in the upiands

There must be rest. where dim pool

Watches all night the far-slowing-
moving skies;
Not by the sea. that never was ap-

Not by the sea. whose immemorial

Not BY the sea, that bore Iseult and

But in a dark green hollow Of the hills
There must be sleep. even for sleep

Chapter VII.

Chapter VII.
When Mr.. Van Harritt started
for Ruth's house, he stopped at
the flower shop and bought a little
bunch of red roses for Ruth to pin
on her dress.
When Mr.. Van Harritt came to
Ruth's house he looked up and
down the street to be sure that
Ruth's father was not in sight then
he knocked at the door Presently
.he butler came to the door. He
did not have to wait for a card
from Mr.. Van Harritt but told him
to follow and the butler led MI.
Van Harritt to Ruth's room. Ruth
met him at the door and was very
glad to see him. Mr. Van Harritt
then gave Ruth the bunch of roses
which she pinned on her dress.
Mr.. Van Harritt gave Ruth an
other piano lesson. While was Civ
ing her the lesson he spied the doll
with only one eye. He began to
sob. Ruth had often wondered why
it was that Mr. Van Harritt would
always sob when he saw that doll,
so she made up her mind that she
would ask him just out of curiosity.
Mr.. Van Harritt thought that
Ruth was his daughter because
she had a doll like the one his little
daughter had, dark curly hair, blue
eyes, big dimples in her cheeks
and smooth face and hands.
Ruth also thought that Mr.. Van
Harritt was her father because he
treated her more like a daughter
than the man who said he was her
father did.
Mr.. Van Harritt thought that he
would ask Ruth to tell the story of
her life.
SO he asked Ruth if she would
be willing to tell him the story of
her life. Ruth said that she would
be willing so she got her music put
away and then Mr.. Van Harritt
and she went into the next room.
When Mr. Van Harritt and she
were seated she began to tell the
story of her life to Mr.. Van Har-
