New Revelations of
a Wife
By ADELE GARRISON

Hours after Lillian came int othe
room, her face lined with anxiety.
Mine must have reflected the peace l
had attained, for her eyes lightened
as they met mine.
Now you're my own brave girl
again." she said, as she came up to
the bed bearing a tray with a cup of
steaming coffe and some toast upon
It. And there is a task before YOU
that will tax your strength-so drink

I obeyed her, and then sat up de-
terminedly.
You're not to bother one bit more
about me-" said with decision. I'm
perfectly all right, ready to bear
woman's part instead Of acting like a
spoiled, ~hysterical child. What is it
you want me to do?"
You judge yourself too harshly, my
dear" Lillian said kindly. But I'm
glad you are feeling all right, for you
have a said time before YOU"
"Katie--?" I ventured, with forebod-
ing.
Yes" Lillian inclined her head
sadly. Katie has lost her little child.

and two minutes more saw me bending
over Katie's bedside.
1t was an almost unrecognizable
Katie whose grife-haunted eyes stared
/ up at me. Ravaged by pain, turn by
wild rebellion at her fate. there was
little trace Of my volatile, happy-so-
lucky little maid in the woman with
the burning face and wild-staring
eyes
I had heard her calling me "Oh
Missis Graham. COON qveeck TO

rang out. and she was still saying it

plan -dulled brain evidently not yet
realizing that 1 had come TO her.

knelt down by the side of tn ebed so
that my face was close to hers.
"I am here. Katie Isaid slowly,
distinctly. Don't be afraid any

She stopped moaning. turned her
eyes to mine. and then her poor. BAN
daged face began working and she
burst into wild weeping.
The Relief of Tears.
I heard Cousin Agatha draw a deep
breath as if of relief, and the physi-

the poor, grief-stircken creature cry
her heart out II she wished, becokned

OF course. I saw instantly that until
this moment Katie had not been given
the blessing healing relief Of tears, and
that the physician wished me to be
alone with her. thinking that the poor.
undisciplined child might yield to my
comfort and authority. I made no eff
fort to stop Katie's tears, simply held
her close until the paroxysm had pass
ed and she rested quietly in my arms,
weak and spent. but with the wild
glitter gone from her eyes.
The physician came noiselessly back
into the room, stood looking down at

Christmas Cantata
At Gadsden Church

Automobiles blocked the streets
around Gadsden Street Methodist
church, many people were turned
away and others were forced to stand
to hear the Christmas cantata The
Christ Child sung BY the combined
choir of the Gadsden Street church
and the Naval Station Glee club.
The beautiful anthems possess an
ensemble that made the cantata Il
deeply religious affair. The parts We're
as we'll balanced as have yet been
heard in Pensacola. The entire pro-
gram was a credit to those who sang
and to c. S. Brierley, director of mu-
sic.
The orchestra added greatly to the
organ accompaniment by Miss Mable

Mrs. Brierley, Miss Noblcs. Miss
Nicholson. Miss Mollie Mecca skill. Mi

ably in this number. which opened
with a soprano solo by MIR. Brierley.
