A Wife's Confessional
Adele Garsons New Phase OF
REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

I stay out here at the farm with you
while LII Is getting her strength
back. II will also account for the
fact that I shall be able TO send you
very little for few months. But !
shall not be out here at all. I'm 60
ing to camp at the stu1io, work like
the old boy himself, ana see this
thing through"
Katie Betrays Herself
He paused for breath and ]
caught mine In bewilderment at his
story. He had elided so much that ]
was in a haze as to everything ex-
cept three things Lillian no longer
faced her terrible spector OF inabili-
ty to work and no income: Dicky
would not be home for long time,
and he would be unable to send me
but very little money for the up
keep OF the house.
Can you tell me what you mean
by very little?" I asked. my practi-
cal nature taking the upper hand.
II ought to know Just what I have
to depend on.
In my absorption in his story. I
had forgotten that this was the one
question calculated TO goad Dicky
to unreasoning fury. He has no con-
ception OF managing money and his
method OF giving me a household
allowance Is to dump into my lap
whatever checks come to him which
he does not spend In some purely
personal way, ana let me take care
OF them. But In the last few months
the checks have been not smaller
Dickey gets splendid prices for his
work, but decidedly fewer. and I
have been able to put nothing into
the savings bank after our running
expenses are paid. Now, II I did not
mistake him. he expected to send
me still less. If It had not been for
the consciousness Of my fathers
check tucked away in the desk fac
ing me, ! should have been uneasy
indeed.
But that knowledge gave me poise
ana the strength 10 ignore Dlckys
ranting answer to my innocuous
question.
If that isn't you all over" he ex-
claimed. Here I tell you all this
in words OF one syllable, and all you
can think Of Is to yelp. \ ought to
know Just what I have to depend
on How in blazes do I know what
I'll be earning. I'll send you every
thing I can possibly scrape together
I'll not be rolling in the lap Of
luxury while you and Junior and
mother starve." --- his voice was
heavily hooking. But there's two
things will have to be cut out.
Mother can't take her trip South,
and you'll have to get rid Of Jim
and Katie"
NO you don't have TO do no such
things" a shrill voice sounded from
the other side of the door. "Jeem
and Katie can take care OF dem
selves"

really didn't think about being
hunted. He knew that Farmer
Browns boy wouldn't hunt him and
he didn't think that some one else
might. Or general principles he
kept out OF sight of those two
legged creatures called men. He
was suspicious Of them. He never
could bring himself 10 trust them.
So, whenever he discovered any in

climbed that tree without a thought

That Dicky needed only the
slightest excuse to work himself up
into a rage, I realized as he male
his wrathy answer to my statement
that all knew OF his difficulties was
what his letter to his mother had

leaves were damp from a rain the
night before, so the hunter made
no sound, for he took each step with
the greatest care. All the time he
kept looking this way and looking
that way for a possible glimpse Of
Buster. He knew that he had no
business TO be hunting in that part
Of the Green Forest for Farmer
Browns boy had put up signs
warning all hunters to keep away
from there. But this hunter knew
that Farmer Browns boy had gone
away this day, and so he had slip
ped over there hoping to get a shot
at Buster Bear. But though he had
walked as still as he could and
kept his eyes and his ears wide open
he had seen and heard nothing of
Buster Bear.
He was tired. He had walked and
walked and he was tired. And he
was discouraged.
II guess that Bear probably is up
on the Great Mountain" thought
that hunter as he sat down under n
tree to rest. IF he is anywhere in
this part of the Green Forest !
ought to have seen him or at least
some fresh signs of him. Perhaps he
is taking a nap somewhere. Anyway,
It doesn't look as If ] will have any
luck today. l certainly would like 10
get shot at him. That black fur
coat Of his would make fine rug
10 put or the floor in front of the
fireplace in my home. 1t is queer
how scared of Bears some folks are.
If you understand them there is
nothing TO fear. They are Just big
bluffs. | would like to see the
Black Rear that could really scare
me-"
1t was Just about then that Buster
Bear discovered who was down be-
meath him. When Buster looked
down and saw that hunter. saw the
terrible gun in that hunters hands.
he was as badly scared as ever a
Bear could be. He knew what that
gun was and he knew that up in
that tree he, Buster, hadn't a
chance in the world,
"Oh, dear!, Oh. dear" whimpered
Buster 10 himself without making
a sound Whatever can l do now?
/ can't stay here and l can't get
away. What did l climb this tree
for? couldn't be caught in a worse
place. I can't get away from here
without going right down where
that hunter is with his terrible gun.
There is. no place to hide up here.
Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Whatever shall
! doo"
Now Buster wasn't doing any
boasting TO himself about not be-
ing afraid. He was afraid, and he
wasn't ashamed of being afraid. He
knew that he hadn't a chance in the
world against that hunter as long as
he had that terrible gun, and he
knew. too, that he was fairly freed,
and It wasn't possible 10 be in q
worse situation. What 10 do? Buster
wished that he knew.
