reptile; both the ship doctor and a fam

REVEAL TONS OF A WIFE
ADELE GARRISON

t How Dicky Relieved Madge's Mind of
One Worry.
I hadn't the courage to tell Katie the
truth concerning my ignorance OF my
| husbands attitude toward the war.
/ When I had told her that I would take
care of her and Of the little one for
/ whom she was preparing until her
4 husband came back from war, she had
unconsciously betrayed the belief that
/ Dicky, too, would soon .be in the midst
Of the struggle.
/ I evaded the question as well as
could. but my heart was heavy as I
answered my little maids fearful
question.
| 1T doesn't matter whether or not I
continue keeping house, Katie" I said
! That has nothing to do with the case.
/ I shall take care Of you until Jim
comes back. You may both be assured
of that. And now l must hurry away
Mr.. Graham is waiting for me to go
! to the harbor with him"
| l gently laid my hands upon the
girls clinging arms, loosened their
hysterical clasp of my neck. and put
her into chair. 1 knew from expert
ence that Katie's emotion would soon
quiet itself, so I had no compunction
about leaving her.
Yet my feet were anything but
winged as l went TO meet my husband
at the front OF the houEe. : I felt as
if I couldn't endure a long intimate
walk with him when there were so
many things left unexplained between
US. That he had deceived me concern
ing the note he had said he must write
breaking his engagement for the
evening was of minor Importance to
the hidden question between us, the
question had never permitted to find
voice.
A Heart Battle.
Why did Dicky display such curious
apathy toward the world war into
which his country had entered, while
all around him his friends, even his
man of -allwork, were rushing into the
ranks of his country's defenders?
Again there come to me the thought
that had made me hide my fact against
it's own reflection in the mirror, the
thought which connected Dicky's apa-
thy with Grace Diapers suspected
treachery to her country. And then
the revulsion OF sanity came to me as
I realized the point to which my dread
of Grace Draper had led me.
TO think that for even a panic
stricken moment had doubted the pa
triotisn1, the very manhood of my hus-
band. My throat contracted and my
heart seemed to stop beating as /
faced my souls tfeachery to my best
beloved.
I longed to rush wildly to Dicky. to
throw myself into his arms, to beg his
forgiveness. But [ knew that never
must / let him dream that had ever
doubted his loyalty to his country.
