Revelations of a Wife
Ny Heart and Ny Husband
By Adele Garrison

do not think I had ever realized
what infinite capacity for tenderness
and comfort my father possesses un-
til the moment when / blindly fled
TO him after my mother-in-law's in
suIting words. He must have seen at
a glance what my saner, calmer
moments since have told me that
reached the breaking point for
nerves already frayed.
At ny first sobbinS ejaculation of
Father Father!" he rose and swift
ly and deftly put me In the place
next the window, where by bending
over me he could shield me from OBJ
servation Then he lifted Junior TO
my lap, knowing how potent in heal
ing to any nerve-racke mother is the
prattle of her baby.
fundamentally" Junior said de-
ciedly, putting up his face to be
kissed, and / tried to keep back the
tears which frightend him, but I
found that they came faster than 1
could wipe them away I cuddled
him in the way he loves best, leteting
him hide his face in the hollow OF
my arm, thus saving him from, see
ing my tears

the next thing 1 heard with my face

gave a start Of Mortified dismay
He must mean Mai. Grantland, and
could not bear that he. Of all peo-
pie, shoulud see me in this unstrung
condition But my father, with one
arm around me. hushed my fears.
Just leave this 10 your father,
my darling" he said softly "and
keep your face hidden if you like
The next thing 1 heard was q deep
ejaculation from Maj. Grantland. and
my fathers answer.
MY daughter IL III, Grantland. Can
YOU get that woman out Of her draw
ing room so I can take here in there
as soon as possible? No" in answer
20 q hurried question, i don't think
IL IS anything serious, but she has
been under a tremendous strain, and
is now suffering from the reaction.
Last night was the only night we

I felt a wave OF relief surge over
me at the words. To be able 20 have
a room. even so tiny a one, all 10
myself. and my baby. of course-to
be able TO lock my door against all
intruders and 10 have. in woman's

How Mai. Grantland managed II I
do not know, for the preparations for

manage il ne did, and IL was an
amazingly short interval before his
temperance at my fathers side

to US"
Want my watch. young MANI"
Maj. Grantland answered promptly,
and I knew from the haste which
Junior slid from my lap that the
bait had been gobbled.
Take him over 10 another seal"
my father directed next. ana I men
tally blessed him for the Thought
fullness which would allow me to set
TO my drawing room practically un-
noticed by either friends or strang-
ers.
Come now, daughter" he said
softly, after an interval IF YOU can
hurry, there isn't a soul in sight
between US and your room"
He raised me TO my feet and. still
with his arm around me. guided me
TO my room. As 1 entered the draw
ing room I saw that Maj. Grant
lands thoughtfulness had directed
the porter 10 lower the berth, ana
I threw myself upon it in blessed
comfort My father touched my
hair tenderly.
II viii bring Junior to you in a
few minutes" he said, but am I
right in thinking you would like best
TO be alone for a little?"
I gulped a grateful assent. and ne
left me. shutting the door softly after
him. And II gave myself up to
the flood Of hysterical tears which
had been threatening me-
