MY MARRIAGE
Adele Garrison's
New Phase off,.
REVELATIONS
OF a WIFE
THE WORK LILLIAN LAID OlIT
FOR TOM CHESTER TO DO

Allen Drake was the first to speak
after Tom Chester's dramatic out
burst.
IF the young man will kindly explain
whose life he MEANS he drawled prov
ocatively, but Lillian interposed swiftly.
Keep quiet, Allen!" Then she
turned to young Mr.. Chester with a
reassuring air.
Il won't deny that there is a GER
tain risk to all of u.s." she said gravely,
but l am very sure it can be reduced
to a minimum. And there is no reason
why Mrs. Graham" she caught my
indignant eye and cut short her SEN
tence.
There is every reason why Mrs.
Graham should share any unpleasant
ness" I said Jelly. please remember,
| Lillian, that wherever you are in this
affair, l shall be with you"
She flashed me a glance of approval
| and apology. although | well knew that
as far as her plan of campaign was
! concerned, my defiant words were
worthless. | would be stationed exact
ly where she chose. But at least l had
declared my own attitude, and again ]
felt my fathers hand pressing my
| shoulder and knew that even through
his fear for me he approved my stand.
Lillian Looks Ahead
But we are wasting time" Lillian
declared. Mr.. Chester. how good an
| actor are YOU
"A very poor one" the young man
answered with sincerity in his tones.
With such modesty, you're extreme
ly likely TO be a good ONE Lillian re-
torted. But. honestly, now don't you
think you could stage a convincing
road bandit holdup for the benefit of
Mr.. Smith tomorrow night.
Il could do anything to clip that fell
lows claws" he replied earnestly.
And that's exactly what l want you
to do. First of all. | am going to ask
you to interview Mr.. Briggs, Smiths
employer, early tomorrow morning and
see that our precious friends every
movement is watched. Then. when he
starts over here tomorrow night-as
be surely will-stage a hold-up along
the road, take any money he has TO
make it realistic. but be sure to frisk
him for revolvers.
IF he's the man ! think he is-and
that's a little thing I'm going TO find
out. please Allah. when he gets here
he's a walking arsenal. You won't get
en- all, for he probably has some
mighty ingenious papOn NluOeu IN
those rags of his. but you'll be able to
get nearly everything he has. Then tie
him loosely. so he can surely wriggle
free, and deposit him in the grass by
the side of the road. then beat it down
hereof course. leaving n man near
him to watch his proceedings.
I'm tell you now-and then we
wont have to keep you any longer
that Katie will be walking up and down
the road, SO don't be surprised when
you see her" lillian smiled. Prob
ably Smith will be talking to her. at
least we sincerely hope he will. From
that point on it's all on the lap Of
the gods. although Mr.. Drake will
probably do a little celestial stage
directing"
Don't Underestimate Smith"
Just SO | have a chance to direct
Katie, the beautiful young decoy
duck" Mr.. Drake murmurmed. but
Lillian threw him n wrathful glance
because of his ~frivolity, and he sub
sided.
TO her. when she is absorbed in
an important problem. levity is an IN
~pardonable sin. but Allen Drake is a
law unto himself. SO he returned her
angry look with a lazy. impudent grin
which she ignored. turning her back
upon him. and giving her attention Ia
Tom Chester. The young MAD had risen
at her intimation that he would not
