REVELA TONS OF A WIFE

What Madge Read Into LilIian's Praise
OF Her.

What Madae Read Into Lillian's Praise
OF Her.
Katherine looked at me, her eyes
frankly admiring.
II never thought of that" she said
Aren't you the Sherlock Holmes
though? And am 1 not the stupid?"
Her open friendly approval was like
wine to me. It soothed the self esteem
that had been sadly wounded by my
humiliation over my swoon.
When Lillian returned to Katherine
and me in the library after her hurried
expedition to the house next door her
face was troubled, and saw the little
fine lines around her mouth that al
ways betray to my eyes her mental
suffering.
She sank into a chair opposite us,
and it was Characteristic that with
no Immediate task confronting her,
she put herself and her own worries
into the background and began to
fuss over me.
Are you sure Madge is all right,
Katherine?" she demanded, and with
out waiting for an answer turned to
me. You plucky thing!" she said
warmly.
1 flushed with happiness at her ap-
prevail. Katherine glanced at me mis-
chievously as she answered:
If you had heard her doing a Sher-
lockian deducing stunt just now you'd
be sure she's all right"
Lillian glanced at me sharply, then
at Katherine.
Lets hear it, she said"
1 forestalled Katherine's reply.
Don't mind her nonsense, Lillian"
begged. She's exaggerating an idle
remark .-E
Did I ask you to speak?" Lillian
returned with mock severity. Now,
Katherine"
There was an almost imperceptible
note of command in the last two words
which told both Of us that the personal
not was dropped from our converse
don for a moment, that our superior
officer wished information, and that
it behooved US to give it to her.
Katherine, whose intuitions are Won
derfully quick, changed her manner in
stantly.
"Madge believes that the disturb
ance down stairs was a ruse to draw
our attention from this effort to get
into the library through the closet
door" she said quietly.
"Of course it was" Lillian returned
promptly, and then with a resumption
of the playful personal note:
Good little Sherlockia! Do 1t again"
l read more into the words, perhaps,
than Katherine did, and my reading
comforted me. That Lillian, although
she loved me dearly, had been secrete-
ly a bit doubtful as to my fitness for
the secret service In which she had
enlisted me as her aid, was sure. Her
manner now, together with her excla-
nation of pleasure at discovering the
way in which had thwarted the man
who was trying to affect an entrance
into the library treasured me, took
away tiny gnawing at the cords of
my self-esteem.

the door with her silencer pistol. She
had purposely shot low so as not to

Lillian had counted upon the fact
that the men would be anxious 70

that their bluff having failed, they
would lose no time in getting away
from the vicinity Of her home.
What Happened Next Door
The old obsession OF mine which the
thought OF Lillian's silencer pistol al
ways brought me, seized me again. A
premonition crept over me that some
time, somewhere, her skill with the
weapon and her readiness to uss It
when her work was endangered would
involve her in tragedy.

All fragrances of herb and bloom
Fail, out at sea, together.

Lark-song and eagle feather!
All ecstasies OF throat and plume
Melt, high on yon blue weather.
o leave on sky and ocean lost
Thy flight creation dareth
Take wings of love, that mounts the
most;
Find fame, that furthest fareth!
Thy flight, albeit amid her host
Thee, too. night star-like beareth,
Flying. thy breath on heavens coast,
The Infinite outweareth.

Whom most fits wildness teaches.

years,
And stars and cities burning;
And / will march through dying cheers
Past empires unreturning;
Ever the world-fam reappears
Where mankind power Is earning,
The nations hopes, the peoples tears,
one with the wild heart yearning."I

HIGHWAY ACT RELEASES MIL.
LIONS FOR ROADS.

Under the federal highway act sign
ed by President Harding on November
8, 100000 900 becomes available as fed
eral aid for road construction in the
United States. Each federal aid dollar
must be matched by a dollar from
funds Of the state treasures.
Many states demand, a Firestone

each county match the state dollar if
they want to enjoy the combination of
federal aid and state aid in road build

available before June 80, 1922, about
$3.50, 10000 for the building of roads;
exclusive of city street building.
