A Wife's Confessional
  REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

upon the handle of small vallse. hardly more than large hand bag, to which the girl was clinging.
 Better let me carry that, miss" he said
 A sound which was not speech but moro like the frightened, mar ticulate cry of an infant, broke from the girls lips, while she shrank closer to Lillian. Her fingers gripped the handle of the valise so tightly that her whitened knuckles were like marbles.
 Lillian whirlod on the man and interposed her arm between the girl and his outstretched hand. Co ahead with this lady to the taxi stand" she said, indicating me. You have everything we wish you to carry"
 "Ah didn't mean no harm, ma'am." he said backing away in evident alarm, although Lillian had not evinced any anger.
 "I know you didn't" Lillian said, crisply. But get along. We are in hurry
 "Yaas'm, yas'm," he answered, hurrying after me, while Lillian, Marion and her charge brought up the rear. At the taxi stand Lillian halted us.
 Twill you take Marion with yoy to see about the trunks?" she said. And when you have finished, take another taxi and come down to the Tudor and ask for me, I'll be settled , by that time. You don't mind. Mar ion, darling? This is something mother has to do."
 "Oh, no, indeed, muvvy," the lit- , tie girl declared stoutly. although I guessed what a disappointment was hers to be shunted away from her mothers side so precipitately. But 1 she said no word to indicate her , feeling, neither then nor during our ] excursion to the baggage room and our subsequent taxi journey to the | Tudor.
 What was more remarkable, she ! made no comment whatever con- , corning her mothers queer travel ing companion, although I kgew that she was as consumed With curiosity as I was. But, patently Lillian's young daughter had conned the lesson which her friends learned long ago. Lillian Under wood is law unto herself, and no matter how astounding her actions seem, there is always some good reason for them when she finally chooses to reveal it.

Naturally I want you to dc something" the man says.
 The woman starts to speak. The man holds up his hand.
 Wait a minute. My dear, let me explain"
 Gan it be explained?" the woman asks wearily.
 T don't know whether explana- tions will do any good, but I am go- ing to be honest with you. l am obsessed with the girl you saw me with today. I can not get her out of my mind. She means all the joy of living: all youth and illusion that I though had gone out of my life forever. My sane common sense tells me that I am not only a fool but something too bad to name in my action toward you.
 q think perhaps this foolishness will pass. hope it will, but now tell you honestly, dear, I am like a lad in his first infatuation."
 The woman spasmodically clasps her hands across her heart as though the words had burned them selves into her very soul.
 "Why do you insult me with all this?" she asks. "Is 1t not enough 10 injure me as you have without telling me of your indecency in SC many words?"

 Aha! Indeed! He doesnt!" Miggsy cried. He belongs to me" and he pulled so hard upon the hobby horses tail, the tail came right off and Miggsy fell over back wards.
 Now you see what you have done!" Raggedy Andy said as he took the hobby horses tail away from Miggsy. The little magic maker jumped up and rolled up his sleeves then jumped at Raggedy Andy. But Raggedy Andy knew

"Where are you going, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy?" a squeaky little voice called from the bushes.
 The two rag dolls looked all about them, but the f1owery bushes in the deep, deep woods were too thick for the Raggedys to see through but they smiled in the di- rection of the squeaky voice.
 We are just walking through the deep, deep woods, filled with fairies n everything in search of an adventure" Raggedy Ann re- plieu.
 Then please wait a minute, Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy" the squeaky little voice said and out from the bushes came a little teeny weeny man with knee breetches of velvet and a tall peaked hat
 "It's PiXie." Raggedy Andy said
 The Raggedys sat down upon the soft moss and the teeny weeny Pixie came and sat beside them. i've just been on long, long ad- venture." the Pixie said
 Raggedy Ann knew the little Pixie wished to talk Of his adven- lure so she said, Isn't that nice! And did you have lovely time, Mir. Pixie?"
 "Oh, yes, indeed." the Pixie re- piled. "I sailed way down the tumblng brook clear to the great big ocean and saw the strangest things, Fairy castles and Giants houses n everything. Sometimes you Raggedys must sail down the tumbling brook and see the wonder ful things there are to see,"
 q >spect we would like to do that" Raggedy Ann said, And maybe some day We shall if we can find a nice little boat
 'J wish that l had a nice little boat, I would lend it to you" the kind Pixie said. But when we reached Ine Sed- tuc great plS NdFSS washed my boat away! Now I have hone."
 Just then Raggedy Ann's wooden magical hobby horse came around bend in the path and hanging on to his wooden tail was an old man. "Its Miggsy, the magic maker!" the Pixie whispered to Raggedy Ann, Run as fast as you can!" And away he ran, disappearing in the bushes.
 The hobby horse pulled and pulled until he dragged 9iggsy, the magic maker right up to Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. What do you think?" Miggsy said, "The hobby

was toward the two .deckchairs that stood by the saloon skylight. Then he had to come to the wheel. to polish the big brass boss and the inset brass rim. Stealing a glance at the deckchairs, he grew hot at the sight of Stevens snecring face. Mary Manning read book. her fair face rosy red, her blue eyes ever upon her book. The skipper was talking, but she appeared not to hear. Her color deepened as Drake finished the wheel and went to the slsylight to remove the rods. And she got up. Stepping into the companionway she said:
 Captain Stevens, I'll come on deck when the work is done.r My father would never permit the poop brasswork to be neglected until mid forenoon; neither would he tolerate working the ships boy to the point where there was no time for personal cleanliness"
 DTdhe otOOpcu " Aiuo o oAAh' AA~ felt the hot flush of shame surge through him: but he could grin. for Captain Stevens face turned red. and the bruised lips opened and hung open as the girl vanished with the air and step of an offended princess.

 Daughter of the Wide Waters
 Drake sat cross-legged on the fore hatch one dogwatch, sewing a canvas jumper. A piece of old cam vas lay beside him: a cutout, part ly stitched pair of canvas trousers were thrown over his feet. He sewed expertly. He used the sailors palm and needle like sailmaker.

 My! Miggsy was angry when he got to his feet and he shook his fist at the Raggedys. Just you wait" he cried, "As soon as I run home and get my magic charms I'll bet that you will jump"
 And as soon as he ran for his home, the Raggedys hoped upon the back of the hobby horse and he carried them lickity split down the path through the deep. deep woods. And the Raggedys laughed as they thought how surprised Miggsy would be when he returned and did not find them there waiting for him to work his magic charms on them.

the new lookout, fell full upon the startled face of Alden Talbot Drake.
 CHAPTER VII
 "YOu Dirty Boy!"
 Mister, send another man on lookout" the skipper said grimly. Come here, you dude"
 Drake stood before the big blond man with a curious feeling of ela- ton. He expected to hear an inter- esting opinion of himself, expressed in vivid sailorese.
 Come here. you." growled Stev: ems. and fastened a grip like a steel trap on Drake's jacket. "A dress suit gentleman, are you? Went stunning and got drunk, hey? What did you steal, that drove you to my ship. you putty faced whelp."
 Drake suddenly wrenched free, leaving some buttons in Stevens grasp, and forgot all considerations of discipline and rank in the glorious thrill of one solid, snappy punch that landed flush on the skipper $ square jaw and set him on his heels. Surprise had lot to do with the result. Its effect lasted but a second. Drake struck again, a straight left hand jab to the mouth that drew blood. He knew 1t drew blood: he felt the grinning lips burst. But he knew little after that. A terrible, white, snorting face came close to his own. two triphammer fists drove through the defense he put up as if he were a ten-year-old boy, and after one agonizing moment when he believed his 7breastbone was cracked, he felt exquisite serenity stealing over him and relinquished himself to it greadily.
 It was early In the forenoon. Drake sweat behind the hot stove on which bubbed the soup and beef for the mems dinner. He had been put on the ships Articles as Boy. Every now and then he car" ried out a bucket of soot and clink- CT to dump over the lee rail.
 He had felt that he was getting a bit grimy. He hurried to finish the job. He would have a change to wash before starting on some thing else. As he took out his last bucket of soot, san apprentice climbed down from the standard compass with his tin of brass clean. ing gear. The lad griDned in Drake's 1 face, but before he could utter g remark the second mate sang out from the poop:
 You Sammy" The apprentice turned aft, his mouth open.
 "Yes, sir
 Give your brass rags to the boy - Yes, that black fellow Who d ye think? You, Drake, come aft and get busy on the poop brasswork!'
 Drake hesitated. He had seen the futter of white skirt aft. He felt as if he simply dared not obey. If he refused to go aft 1t would be insubordination. He would probably be confined in the forepeak..
 "Boyl" roared Mir. Adams. Get a move on you!" A grin of good na- tured amusement played at the sec ond mates eye corners. Drake sud. denly made up his mind to face 1t and walked aft with his brass rags and tin of bTickdust and oil with his head up and his sooty face turned squarely upon the world. He started with the brass plate that held the patent log. His baci

to Drake, and his rubicund face registered surprise of the work done. He picked up the canvas trousers. His lips puckered in a silent whistle, and his twinkling gray eyes widened.
 If you wuz at sea long enough to learn to tailor like that, you ain't got no business as Q boy aboard this ship" he said. He regarded Drake's grinning face with a puzzled ex- pression, examining again the well cut garment In his hand. It was made of old canvas, softer than new, truly, but it was the fashion ing of the work rather than the stitching that arrested attention. That sort of work was seen in the grand old deepwatermen of past and gone decade. Joe could do 1t, and a few others aboard the Or ontes, but it was not general &C., complishment, and the ability to turn out work of that sort hinted at a real apprenticeship to the sailing ship.
 I've learned to do little jobs for ourselves when wns boy at sea" !" Drake smiled. Nothing much in 1t. Sails gave me a bit of canvas and lent me his sailmaker's bag. I asked Ike Saintly for a pair of scissors, and he borrowed these from Miss Manning"
 Joe was thoughtful. He glanced aft. The skipper and Marry Man ming walked the poop together, along the weather side from tac- rail- to the break. The skipper seemed happy. The girl was laugh ing and full of pleasant chatter.
 Well, matey," said Joe, there ain't a bloke in this ship as can turn out clobber like that, an you may lay to that. never cut out a pair O bags to ekal them, not in all my goin' fshin'. l ain't makin' no remarks, me son, an l ain't arskin' no questions wot aint none O my business. If 50 be as you wants to ship boy in this packet boy you kin be for all Joe Buntin' I'll bother yuh. But if you does other jobs same as you're a-doin' this, I'll gamble my donkey's brekfust you won't stay boy long. What yer doin' it for, anyhow"
 Fun" said Drake, thinking Joe referred to his being in the ship at all.
 Fun! Why don't yuh git yer things outa the slop chest? You can't make everything you want, You won't never, lave no stand easy"
