Loves Reawakening The Story Of Wife's Triumph Over Jealousy
 By ADELE GARRISON

my sons lips. But l was much de- pressed, nevertheless, as l obcyel { her injunction and ran down the stairs and into the living room. where to my mortified surprise ! found my small son and Dicky's nephew each held by the collar St arms length by my father, but each straining at his bonds and almost choking with the attempt 10 trans 1 late his anger into words.
 They had already expressed Il with their fists. Blood was dripping l from Roderck's nose and there was an abrasion over Juniors eye. ln- deed, as I went swiftly toward the corner l heard Henry say to Will 1 liam;
 Gee, that hidn have swell sinner. Rod sure remembered the lessons you gave him
 "Oh, that lads there" William, 1 returned with a complacent air which made my palms itch 10 box his ears. But the little fellow isn't any fadeout either. We'll have 70 match 'cm up"
 ! The Ambulance Man ! DiCky was nowhere 10 be seen. i hut just as I reached the corner J saw him rushing in from the kitch- CT with basin of water and q towel. Neither Rodcrick nor Junior. however. appeared at all cognizant l Of their injuries, They were both crying now, not from pain - the Genscst person could sec that but | from sheer rage. Their small faces were ludicrously conyulsed and 1 they strained toward each other from my fathers iron grasp.
 You poor fish Roderick chokcd out as reached them. I'll mash your face m."
 "Ill smash you into pieces. you bunch Of soup greens" Junior shouted in, return. and I saw Dicky hastily avert his face, and realized that he was actually laughing.
 But there was no merrlment in my fathers eyes although upon most occasions he has a most de- | liehtful sense of humor. But knew that he saw only the tiny cut upon Juniors forehead and that the look of distaste he turned upon Rod erick was his unjust but natural grandfatherly reaction to the quar- rel.
 With little feeling Of wcariness saw that whatever investigation or discipline the altercation demanded would fall on my shoulders. IndeeI. | Dicky spoke decisively when he turned around after his paroxysm or laughter, his face composed, l though his eyes were dancing,
 "Madge, will you attend 10 this? I'll be the ambulance man, but the court martial Is beyond me"
 The Court Martial
 l stepped between the two com- batants. with my back 10 Roderict, and, taking my small sons face be- tween my hands and turning it gen- tly upward, 1 looked down at him with steady. silent Inquiry. He wrig- sled, tried to turn his eyes away, then shut them tight But I did not speak, and after a minute he opened them again and looked up at me, not defiantly. but with a look which made mo realize that I must tread Warily in this. for Junior patently 1 thought himself the agrieved party in the quarrel. I knew no surer way 1 to estrange his confidence in my | justice than to give a verdict or award punishment hastily.
 Behind me l could hear Roderick | snuffling as Dicky washed his face and stopped his nosebleed He had stopped crying also, and l guessed that he was watching with keen in terest my silent interview with Junior.
 Have you stopped it?" s"1 sad over my shoulder 10 Dicky
 Yes, he's all right now" DicLy answered
 Then please bring him up 10 Juniors room in five minutes. See that he keeps perfectly quiet unll then. Come with me. son."
 took Junior by the arm and steered him toward the door AS did so I heard Roderick's voice rise in inquiry half fearful, half joyfully trinmphant:
 'Is he going to get licking" l folt Junior stiffen in my grasp 2s turned toward the other sniall boy
 No. Roderick. neither Of you is goinG 10 get licking. But perha ps you will wish you did have one
 Junior knew perfectly what I meant that his punishment would probably be the loss Of some coveted privilege. But as uttered the wor.is my eyes fell upon the faces Of Will liam and Henry Harrison, and to my amazement 1 saw horror anu terror reflected In their eyes
