 Leslie" he said, you had bet ter go and lie down. You know, dear, that you 'are tired out"
 l don't know, little Marquise fl you ever felt the way did then. But if there is one thing that eXas- perates me more than anything else it is to be told that I am all tired out and ill when what aiIs me is that my pride IS hurt and my heart is aching
 T never felt better fit physically in my life, Jack" I answered, but am quite as bored and tired of it all as you. I know am ugly. Con- ,sequcntly it makes me more con- scious of my disfguremcnt when you rave over some other woman 5 beautiful form.
 Perhaps it is silly but I cant help it. and I don't believe that you would try to help it under the same circumstances.
 I have written this to you, little Marquise, because l told it to my mother this morning when l went to her and asked her what l should do.
 Do you really want my adyice?" my dear mother asked of me.
 "Of course I do," was my quick and decisive answer.
 Well, then, you must send for Jack"
 You know. mother, that he is in the wrong. Why should ] always be the first 10 make up:'
 Simply because you are a wom- an," she answered serenely.
 Must women always do that?" asked rcbclliousy,
 At least three times a week and if necessary more"

A Wife s Confessional
 Adele oarrsops REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

1 further remarks which ran the gamut of her usual tirades until, apparently from sheer lack of vo- cal strength she let her voice run down, But her mind had been di- verted for a little from the myster- ious errand upon which we were bent - something for which l was truly thankful and which enabled me 10 bear her strictures with equanimity.
 We were almost at the point where we were to leave the pipeline for the path which wound through the woodland to the little foot. bridge back of the Durkee home, when she next spoke. in a far dif- ferent tone than the irritable one she had used but q minute or two before.
 Margaret, do you know that old fallen oak tree, that lies but few yards this side Of the bridge?"
 "Yes. mother, dear" I prompted reassuringly ns she halted.
 That is - is where - - am to stop" she went on falterlng- ly. Do you suppose you could go around another way from me and stand very near 1t without anybody seeing you? Nobody - nobody will expect to see either of us coming from this way They they will be looking to see me come from across the footbridge."
 Now I knew every inch of the woodland, for 1t had been my favor ite refuge from the petty cares of everyday life when we lived in the house next door to the Durkee home. My voice was filled with con- fldence, therefore, as l answered her.
 T am sure I can, mother. I know path to the left here, which is so masked by vines I am sure no one else has ever found it. Just stand here for a few seconds so that I may get good start. then walk along the regular path. I shall be only a few feet from you at any step of the way. If you're fright ened, don't hesitate to call out"
 T shan't be frightened" she re- torted with a pretense Of courage that I knew must have cost her dearly, and then stole away down a side path, slipped beneath the masking vines which I remem- bered, and into the hidden side path, from which I could see plainly the course which Mother Graham must take.
 I reached the spot I had mem toned to Mother Graham. but found my boast of no one else be- ing acquainted with the hidden path to be falce one. Standing close to the evergreen barrier, with his eyes searching that part of tho woodland nearest the fallen tree was Lee Chow

Why does Selfish Samuel imagine that he owns the pie plant patch 2" Raggedy Andy asked the nice giant boy as they sat beside the soda water spring and ate pies and drank the lovely soda water.
 The giant boy laughed, T really do not know" he replied. You know some people who are just real selfish, wish everything for them selves whether they really and truly own it or not, and so, even though they can not use all there may be always try to keep others from having any,"
 But if the pie patch was made by nice kind Fairy. I should think the patch belonged to every one'" Raggedy Ann said.
 Oh. Indeed! It does." the giant boy said, But Selfish Samuel lives near the pie patch and he is selfish enough to wish all the pies for him. self. And he could not begin to eat all the pies, for they grow very fast, And, there are always enough pies growing there to feed everyone in the deep, deep woods"
 'Ha! Just you wait" Selfish Samuel called from the bushes at one side of the soda water spring. T have asked my aunt to come and help me chase everyone away from the pie plant patch and the soda water spring. Shes a Witch and as soon as she comes, she will drive you away from here, lickity split"
 "Ha." the giant boy said, Who's afraid of an old Witch? Not me! I'm sure,"
 Here she comes!" old Selfish Samuel cried, Just you wait"
 And Of course, the Raggedys and the giant boy were not the least bit frightened, so they sat still and drank their sodas.
 And the giant boy said he wasn't afraid of you." Selfish Samuel said 10 the witch as the two came out of the bushes at the soda water spring.
 "Oh, He did! Did hc?" the witch howled, Well! Just see how he likes this magic first" And she waved her stick and mumbled some magic words. "IIl just send a whole lot Of magic bees 10 sting him! That's what"
 And sure enough, as soon as the witch said this swarm of bees flew towards the sant boy and settled upon the RaEgcdys and buzzed all around the giant boys head.
 But the giant boy was so large the bees seemed like the tiniest of gnats beside him and they did not frighten him even a speck. And the bees could not hurt either Raggedy Ann or Raggedy Andy for they were made of cloth and stuffed with nice clean white cotton.
 But the giant boy did not care 10 have the bees buzzjng around his head just tse same, 50 lie broke

Letter from Leslie Prescott to the Little Marquise, Care of the
 Secret Drawer,
 Continued


 That gray look settled on Jack s face as it always docs when he is very angry. He got up quickly and turned his back as though he did not want me to see his face.
 I'll tell the world" he said, that this house and this family have been pretty solemn lately and if IL were not for the gayety of Mrs. Atherton at the office I think would just have to go out and get a glorious 'bun,' notwithstanding the eighteenth amendment"
 Well, Jack" retorted hotly, If that is the case with you, what about me? Don't you think that have been pretty solemn lately and I have to live with the solemnity all the time. l can't get away into q new train of thought which will ab- sorb me to such an extent as the business does you.
 If it be necessary 10 go and get drunk to bring ones self back to normal let's get drunk together"
 I laughed, little Mar1uise. For once I saw humor in Jacks face. He looked at me in utter surprise. That any woman, least of all his wife, should suggest getting drunk as a panacea for boredom and dis content was beyond him. That was purely a mans perogative, His face expressed absolute uncomprehen- sion of me and my mood.

ferent they lit upon Selfish Samuel and the witch and stung them right on their noses.
 Wow" they howled as they waved their arms and ran away. T shall not stay here and be stung by bees" And the giant boy laughed very loud, for giant boys can laugh loud when they wish. and then he helped the Raggedys, to more ice cream sodas. That is always the way" Raggedy Ann laughed. When anyone tries to injure another for selfish reasons, they usually get hurt themselves! And it serves the witch and Selfish Samuel just right"

Madge Leads Mother Graham to
 the Rendezvous

the Rendezvous
 At my sudden halting, Mother Graham turned and caught my sleeve.
 What is 1t, Margaret" she qua vered, and the terror in her eyes told me how great was the strain upon her nerves of this expedition upon which we were setting out,
 'Nothing, nothing al all, mother" returned, thankful that l could speak the literal truth, for, indeed. it was nothing material which had caused that abrupt start Of mine. Fortunately my common sense was funcHonlng sufficiently 10 tell me that the permeating scept ot wild roses wet with dew, which sudden lyseemed 10 envelop me, had caused me 10 halt In bewildcrment, was but q fgment of my fancy.
 But not 10 my mother-in- law could I explain such a fancy, es- pecially when I knew only too well in what trick of subconscious me mory fl had originated. It had been years since Fate, on a wonderul moonlit June night, had sent me along this pipeline path with Hugh Grantland upon a wartime errand. June, and 1t was now almost Win ter! Yet through the crisp air per- sisted that elusive fragrance, and in II,YrH nt1 e well-remembered tones murmuring, This was my mothers favorIte flower"
 I lived over again in a seconds time the unrest which the knowl- edge gained in that hour brought me -- the knowledge that Hugh Grautland cared for me, deeply, sincerely, hopelessly. Then, with an effort that lett me breathless for an instant, I locked the memories in the same compartment of my brain which housed my plans for the solving Of Hugh Grantland's disappearance, and put a supporting hand under my mother-in-law's trembling arm.
 You must be terribly upset" I said chidingly, ito think something Is wrong because I stop to look at 8 squirrel. Don't you see him, right over there OH that branch? Isn't he cunning''
 sent q wave thought of grati- tude to the little woods creature which had appeared so opportunely upon the branch that I indicated, and Mother Graham gave a heart felt sigh of relief, which, however, she translated into ungracious speech,

throat.
 Gargles, Mrs Mann had found, seemed to give the quickest and surest relief.
 Gargles are applied by allowing a small mouthful of the gargle to run over the affected parts, by holding the head backward, and breathing through it, by which the liquid is agitated and its action promoted.
 From her kitchen cabinet Mrs Mann obtained a small amount of salt. She dissolved this in warm water.
 The next morning MT. Mann's sore throat was gone.
