CHAPTER LxII

Not for weeks had Marcia been so
angry. In spite of all she had said
her refusal to allow John to adopt
that boy. he had taken the care of
him upon himself and was sending
money to some unknown woman for
his support. It was almost unbeliev-
able that he should go against her
wishes in such a manner.
1T will do no good for you to take
on so. Marcia. You will only make
yourself ill.,
You mean TO tell me that you In
tend to go on supporting that child
when | go without so many things /
want?'
Yes. Marcia. I might lie about it,
but Will not. I am going to pay for
Kenneth's care and educate him. He
is a most lovable little boy and will
more than repay all can do for him.
1t isn't much. Marcia; just few doll
lars each month"
Who is this Doran woman?
For the first time John tried to
suppress the entire truth.
"She is an elderly lady, i'll, who has
taken Kenneth to help out her living
expenses, and she loves him dearly"
'Boshl She loves your money!"
'Come, Marcia, be reasonable"
Reasonable! You are the unrea-
sonable one. Why, l never heard of
such idiocy! You take the. care of a
perfect strangers boy upon yourself
what for?"
Because I love children. Marcia,
and you have refused them to me.

would dearly have loved to had him
here. But would not risk making
you unhappy by insisting upon 1t.
But in this you must keep your hands
off, Marcia. The boy is my affair"
Tears. recrimations left them just
where they started. Finally John
said:
Marcia, I shall never refer to little
Kenneth again. / trust you win not.
But ] shall care for him as if he were
my SON."
Marcia wept and pitied herself as
an abused wife long after john had
| left for the office. Money for a
strangers child, and deny her the
simple things she needed to make
her home attractive. She telephoned
for the car-the luxury that John al
| lowed her and which he so seldom
used.
SHE drove to the store where she
had seen the rug she wanted. Once
again she had it unrolled and ther

DIVORCE

What's to be done when husband
breaks his VOWS to the wife who
does not believe in divorce?
This not uncommon situation pre-
sents distressing difficulties. OF it,
a wronged wife writes thus
"A woman stole my husband from
me.
II knew first because he was
strangely irritable and bored at home.
Soon he began to stay down town,
night after night. He became ter
ribly nervous, saw that he was los

But / kept Still until l was sure
Of the facts. and then we had one
glorious battle / took my babies
home to my parents and left him to
cure his nerves.
"The woman who stole him soon
lost him to another. He is hand
some and fascinating. Women find
him easy to annex. Now he is down
and out his fine business is ruined.
And after two years of separation,
he has dared to write me love let

culties in the process of reconcilla-
ton Perhaps ] can avoid a few OF
them if you will warn me what they

Let's put the worst difficulty first:
The wife has not seen her husband
for two years. She will discover In
him many differences which she will
not like, perhaps a coarseness OF
fibre which viii shock her but which
she will have to tolerate.
No husband was ever improved by
being stolen" by a succession OF
women. No man grows morally acute
by getting acquainted with evil.
On the contrary. his notions OF
ethics and morals get pretty blunt
and this dullness the wife must un-
derstand and endure.

For every moment of his joy, the
wife has paid and will continue to

He will not. He will suppose that
the wife's silence implies forgiveness
and forgetfulness.
And If she dares to remind him OF
his glorious past, he viii be furious

dent"
CHILDREN

There is as much child labor on
farms as in factories, mines ana
stores. This is all right, a good thing
for the child, as long as the work is
in the nature of chores, within rea-
sonable bounds. 1t becomes an evil
when the child is overworked.
Where should the line be drawn?
Answer, by DIR. Edward N. Chopper,
of the National Child Welfare Com
mittee:
"Child labor is Unemployment OF
a child under Is years of age at any
task, with or without pay, under the
direction or independently of others,
which deprives him of proper amount
OF schooling, training, recreation and
healthy development"

/, Little Stories For Bedtime
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
REDDY FOX HEARS ABOUT
GRANNY FOX

Sammy Jay flew through the Green
Forest chuckling as he flew. Sammy
was brimming over with the news he
had to tell, how old Granny Fox had
been caught mapping by Farmer
Browns boy. Sammy wouldn't have
Z believed 1t IL any one had told him,
but he had seen 1t himself, and it
tickled him almost to pieces to think
that Granny Fox, whom everybody
thought so sly and clever and smart,
had been caught actually asleep by
the one whom she was most afraid
Of, but ct whom she always had
turned up her nose.
Presently Sammy spied Reddy Fox
tr@tting the Lone Little Path. Reddy
was forever boasting of how smart
Granny Fox was. He had boasted Of
II so much that everybody was sick
Of hearing him. Sammy chuckled
harder than ever when he saw Reddy.
He hid in thick hemlock tree and as
Reddy passed Sammy shouted:
If I'm such stupid old granny
AS some folks who think they are
smart,
never would boast Of my granny,
But would live by myself quite
apart.
Reddy looked up angrily. He
couldn't see Sammy Jay, but he knew
Sammy's voice. OF course it was fool
ish, very foolish of him to be angry,
and still more foolish OF him to show
his. anger. II he had stopped a min
ute to think he would have known
that Sammy was saying such mean,
n provoking thing just to make him
Y angry, and that the angrier he grew
the better pleased Sammy Jay would
be. But like great many people he
let his temper get the better of his
common sense.
- who says Granny Fox is stupid?'
he snarled.
Il do" replied Sammy promptly.
Il say she is stupid"
"Shes smarter than anybody else
in the Green Forest or on the Green
Meadows. She's smarter than any
body else in the whole world"
boasted Reddy, and he really meant
il. You see, he had quite forgotten
how Old Man Coyote had several
times proved himself smarter than
Granny Fox.
wShe isn't smart enough to fool
Farmer Browns boy" said Sammy.
Whats that?" Has any thing hap
pened to Granny Fox?" Reddy forgot
ms anger IN Suuueu great lear I.
Could she have been shot by Farmer
(. Browns boy?"
"Nothing IN c h, only Farm Q r
Browns boy caught her mapping" re-
piled Sammy, and chuckled so that
Reddy heard him.

A HUSBAND TO MARCIA

At 8 o'clock she was back at the
shop and had paid for the rug.
"Have it delivered by II o'clock" :"
she said to the now smiling salesman.
Surely, madame. 1t will be there
on the hour.
The look OF satisfaction still lin
gered on Marcias lips when John
came In to dinner. but she said moth

bring up the subject of his caring for
little Kenneth. exerted himself to en-
terrain her.
After dinner Bob and Nell French
came in and they played bridge until
10 o'clock. Then Bob said:

'Je has no reason to be either.
Marcia answered coldly. "He surely
has nothing to worry about. and he
works hard because he wants to,
perhaps has to if he does foolish
things that he has no right to do
It was the first time Marcia had
ever spoken in derogatory terms of
John before any one and Bob only
stared as he replied:
well, just make him call a halt
before he gets down isck on your
hands" Then Nell broke in:
Il expect every member of the club
will be here tomorrow. Marcia They
all say they enjoy coming to you"
Il love to have them. How do you
like my curtains. Nell?"

to have things up to date always"

Reddy didn't know what to think
or what to say. He just couldn't be-
lieve it, and yet he had never known
Tommy Tit to tell an. untruth. Then
Tommy Tit and Sammy Jay told him
all about what they had seen and
Reddy had to believe it in spite of
himself. He started off to hunt up
Granny and ask her about it. Then a
sudden thought popped into his head
and he changed his mind.
II won't say thing about 1T until
some time when Granny scolds me for
being careless and then I'll see what
she has to say. l guess she wont
scold so much after this" Reddy
grinned, which wasn't bit nice OF
him. Instead of being sorry that
Granny Fox had had such fright he
was already planning how he would
get even when she scolded him for
his own carelessness.

week, the amendment had enough
support to carry even II all remain
ing precincts went against it solidly.
The amendment had 379,143 votes
for and 1860 against when POLL
precincts out of 3479 in the state
had reported. This tabulation in
cluded nearly all of Ramsey, more
than half of Hennepin and about 10
percent of st. Louis counties. Com.

cording to unofficial returns. was
for governor, for which office, 651,.
737 ballots had been counted. with
few precincts missing. Therefore,
il seems impossible that more than
100000 votes could have been cast,
