MY HUSBANDS Adele
 REVELATIONS OF A WIFE !

If you dare to make a drawing of Jun or 1n Miss Fawcetts an..s," said with slow emphasis, T sna,I treat you to athe scene you heNer have experienced from me, but which you have richly deserved so many times"
 l gave him no chance to answer or to work himself into a rage, but walked swiftly away and took refuge with Katherine, keeping close to her the rest of the day, that he might have no chance to speak to me alone.
 The project of using Junior in an illustration was dropped summarly but his attention to Mollie doubled, lis attitude toward her becoming so tiamboyantly deferential tha. his mother called he into ->~ room one day, and closing the door turned upon me a face eloquent with anxiety.

 Margaret, is Richard crazy or are you? Don't you see what is going on? If you haven't, it's time you did. want you to call him to account and tell him to step this ridiculous performance"

 "Fiddlesticks! she returned. Don't hand me any such nonsense as that. Cant call your husband to account when he's making fool of himself?"
 l shook my head dumbly.
 Then l will" She started for the door, I'll pack that girl out of the house, and lock Richard ur on bread and water the same as l did when he was little"
 She looked perfectly capable ot doing it, but I got between her and 1 the door.

 She looked at me steadily for a minute, and I saw a yielding to my will, and something else which al- most unnerved me-comprehendins pity. When she spoke, however her voics was casually curt.

 This letter, written in pencil from one of the camps in the Sotik, was brought in to me at the Rift Val. fey hotel at Naivasha sone morning while l was making arrangements there for the return of the Roose- yclt expedition after a six weeks hunting trip to the south of the Uganda railway.

Water for the large number of na- tive carriers, the personnel of the expeditions and the horses and mules, four ox-wagons had been roquisitioned from Mir. Ullyatt, the Cape Colony farmer whom Colonel Roosevelt had met at the Kijabe mission couple of days before.
 These four ex-wagons, each with 8 team of sixteen trained animals, were destined 10 carry 125 gallons of water in tin kegs on each wagon. By this method the enormous ex- pense of engaging large force of additional porters to carry sufficient water for the needs of the expedi- ton across the "thlrst' country would be obviated. And, by march, ing day and night with hardly a stop for two and a half days, the first watercourse could be reached without mishap or lack of drinking water.
 Owing to the beautiful moonlight at this time Of the month, no real difficulties would be experienced in this niglN-marching. The only real unpeasantness of that journey to the edge of the Sotik country would be the inability to make, due to the. scarcity of water and the discomfort of sleeping for a few hours on the bare ground in the cold nights, with nothing for cover but great-coat.
 Heller and Loring rode off after breakfast in camp, so as to have time to hunt for specimens of rare mammals and big game at re- nowned spot in the Kedong Valley: while Kermit helped Cunnihghame and Tarlton to supervise the ar rangcment of the loads that each of the two hundred perters was to carry. Colonel Roosevelt read in the shade of his tent, until nasty luncheon was snatched before time for departure.
 The Water-wagons, as the OK transport was named by Kermit, were the first to move off. Ullyat had hlazed the trail across that waterless country, and knew we'll the route and difficulties to Joe sur mounted, With Ullyat were three other white men; two of them were English and the other Boer. They drove the oX-wagons, while Nasal natives led each team of sixteen oxen.
 Punctnally at midday, the huge safari started off from the camp led by a native porter who bore alone the American flag. Colonel Roose- welt, Kermit and Mearns rode at the head of the long procession of DOT tcrs who carried sixty pound loads on their heads: and their gun bearers, personal servants, and the syces (grooms) followed at their heels.
 As the porters passed in single file they were chanting weird native refrain with most elusive

The Reason Mother Graham Called
 NIatlge to Account

MAlge to account ! At infrequent intervals in my life ! have dreamed of walking along a stony path bareGooted, The night nareish quality of the dream al- ways has lain in the fact that there is no escape from the path, no hslting place for me. I must walk on and on interminably with bruised and bleeding feets until awakening releases me.
 l have not dreamed the dream for number of years, but the days following my stormy interview with Dlcky concerning Mollte Fawcott were sufficiently reminiscent of it to make me feel as if l were living in nightmare. And the night mare was all the more terrifying because there was no immediate prospect of awakening,
 The path before me lay straight and uncompromising. l could not go away from home until Lllian's work was concluded and she sent for Mollie Fawcett. I must treat Molfie Fawcett with courtesy both because she is my guest and be- cause Lillian had laid the obliga- lion upon me.
 Because of my pride and my self-respect I must pretend that Dicky and I were upon friendly terms, when, except while in the presence of others, we had not ex- changed word or even a glance since the night of our quarrel. And all of these things were made as hard for me as possible by the be- havior of both Dicky and Mollie Fawcett.
 To do the girl Justice I do not think she had the slightest idea that she was offending or hurting me. Dicky was reckless disregard of decorum which I never had seen in him, careless as he often Is, spent almost every minute of day. light in her company. He made rumberless drawings Of her Doth in the old corncrib studio, and at different spots of the farm land scape which lent themselves to il- iustration.
 % Madge's UItimatum
 a Upon the pretext that he wished to make some seashore illustra- ttons Dicky drove her in the car to the beaches near the farm, often asking for basket of lunch, and remaining away for hours. Mollie invariably asked me to go along upon these excursions, and also begged to take Junior and Marion with them. But though l never failed in courtesy toward the girl, I was adamant in my refusal to let the children so with her.
 a Indeed, I kept Junior out Of her way as much as l possibly could .and when, one day, overheard sDicky say that he wished to make a drawing of her for story witt

Tomato Crop In State
Takes so Per Cent. Drop

The total yield of tomatoes in Mary.
land will be approximately half that
of last years crop. This prediction
was made by DR.. T. B. Symons, di.
rector of extension service of the Uni.
versity of Maryland.
Because of conflicting reports, y
DR.. Symons said, Il was requested to
make survey of the States tomato
acreage with the view of ascertaining
what the outlook is for the 1924 crop.
My estimate is based on the personal
observations of the county agents of
this department and a visit 1 made
recently to the large tomato-growing
regions Of the State.
These inquiries reveal that while
a larger acreage of tomatoes was
planted this year, adverse weather
conditions have reduced the acreage
to about $4,000
at is doubtful if there will be more
than an average yield of two and one
half tons per acre, although some
fields indicate yield of seven to eight
tons.

Is Fined For Shooting
Birds Out Of Season

Eighteen men were fined $11.45 each
by Magistrate Edward J. Hermann at
the Fullerton Police Station for shoot
ing reed and rail birds out of season.
The men were arrested on the
marshes at the headwaters Of Back
and Middle rivers by squad of dep
uty game wardens, headed by Charles
F. Smith, chief deputy, and William B.
Mitchell, district deputy.
The season for these birds opens
September and extends to November
1. The birds, Mr.. Smith said, are set
thing on the marshes, but premature
shooting will drive them away and
there will be none left when the sea-
son opens. For this reason, he ex-
planned, he intends to enforce the
game laws strictly.

, HOW GREAT MEN
MAKE LOVE
AS REVEALED BY THEIR
LOVE LETTERS
JUDGE SAMUEL SEWALL.
AND MARY GIBBS
BY JOSEPH KAYE
BY Wheeler syndicate. Inc. }

SAMUEL SEWALL may be called
- the American Pepys. Like the Eng
lishman, Sewall kept diary for 45
years, from 1874 to 1929, to which ev-
erything of topical interest or gossip
found ready admittance. Today this
diary is valuable for its historical
data.
In other ways Sewall was an inter-
esting parsonage. Intended for the
ministry, his first marriage turned his
thoughts to more earthly matters and
he became printer in Boston. From
printing he advanced to judge of the
Probate court. AS a judge he joined
in the sentence Of the Salem witches"
and In doing so he went to the limits
his righteous conscience dictated.
When he realized that he had judged
In error the matter preyed upon his
mind; he could not rest peacefully.
He proved himself a man Of extreme
honesty and uprightness Of character
by making public confession of his
bigoted miscarriage of justice.
Before the congregation of the OLD
South church in Boston, Sewall came
one day and stood with bowed head
while the minister read bill written
by Sewall in which the latter con-
fessed his error. Thereafter the
judge spent one day annually in fast
as a penance.
Sewall'S love affair as told In his
letters and other writings are anus
Ing. When he was almost seventy he
renewed his love for a Mrs. Mary
Gibbs and proposed to her as follows:
"Jany. 18th, 1721-22.
Madam, your Removal out of town
and the Severity of the Winter, are
the reason of making you this Episto-
larry Visit. In times past Gas re-
member) you were minded that should
marry you, by giving you to your de-
sirable Bridegroom. Some sense Of
this intended Respect abides with me
still; and puts me upon enQuiring
whether you be willing I should Mar
~ you now, by becoming your Hus-
band, Aged and feeble and exhausted
as / am. Your favorable answer to
his Enquiry, In few lines, the Can
dor Of 1t will much oblige, Madam,
your humble Servant.
as. S."
The love that Judge Sewall bore
Mrs. Gibbs was not, however, favored
with youthful fervor for when Mrs.
Gibbs accepted him, he was careful
to make 1t clear that he took her to
his heart, but not her debts, saying
in another letter:
81. The last Proposal was for
your children, or some In their behalf,
to give Bond to indemnify me from all
debts contracted by you before the
Marriage, and from all matters re
specting the Administration.
"This, I told you, peremptorily In
sisted on. / was to secure you Forty
pounds per annum during the term of
your natural Life. in case of your
Survival. This Proposal must be TAX

State Rating Low
In Physical Tests

With the exception of two States,
Maryland had the poorest record of
all the States in physical efficiency
test given the $4,000 young men who
attended the civilian military training
camps in 1928 Maryland's score Of
40 surpasses only the Al for Nebraska
and 81 for Iowa, according to infor-
nation obtained at the War Depart
ment.
Four events comprised the test
tO0-yard dash, running broad jump,
running high jump and bar vault.
Each participant was given score. in
points and each State was represented
in attendance in proportion to its pop
ulation. This, the War Department
believes, made it possible to obtain a
fair physical efficiency rating for each
State.
