But I wisely #*ve no indication of my amusement. atie gave me a liniment which she says relieves Jim when he has rheuymatism,” I nXphined carefully. “It is to be applied with a brush. Katie says it discolars anything it touches, 5o I am getting these wvld bath towels we.xromt Yyour clothin, Dieky ignot the explanation, “Rhéumatism!" he ejaculated, and his ‘manner of seizing the word re- minded me of the way the puppy he had given me ponnced upon a stick to 'worry it. ‘“‘Rheumatism! I sup- pase you'll be accusing me of having gout next. I haven’t ahy rheumatism. You can just put that in your pipc and smoke it, and if that stuff you got from Katie is a rheumatism remedy, I won't huva any of it on ”I don’t suppose it is a rheumtim remedy,” I returned soothingly. “But Katie' warranted it to relieve a sharp pain in the back such you have, so Please let me¢ put it on.” The little devil af pain that was working at my husband's back evi- dently gave an extra twist to hie tor- ture instruments just then, for Dicky raised himself painfully on one elbow and shouted: ‘“Well, for heaven's sake, put it on! Don’t stand there delivering a lecture about it.. This isn’t any blooming rostrum, you know.’ “Loosen your clothing, then, and turn over upon your face so that I can. expose your back,” I answered “Do you wish me to help Dicky said shortly, but after a few moments’ struggle in which the pain he suffered was reflected in his face, he was glad enough to have me come to the resoue. When he was ready, with his face buried in the pil- lows as if in protest against the whole proceeding, I brought in the dish of mixture and, saturating the brush in it, gave a vigorous swish over bhis batk. - With a yell that would have done justice to the traditional old Com- anche so dear to the hearts of fiction dabblers, Dicky shot upward and out of the bed, upsetting the dish of jiniment in his sudden movement and sending its contents over his back and legs. “You're bumlnt me alive!” he howled with a string of expletives such as T had never before heard from his lps in his angriest moments. “What is that blasted stuff anyway?" ‘He stopped long enough to sniff. “Why, you blooming idiot, it's turpen- tine!” he raved. “If I hadn't had my face in the pillows I wauld have smelled it. Quick! Get something to stop this burning; the stuff blisters. Get some olive ol and bandages quick, and then send for a doctor. O all the—*" T 414 not wait to hear the end of his sentence, but, genuinely fright- ened, flew down the stairs, meeting Katie half way. She was pale with fright ,and had evidently been run- ning. ” “Which Physician— “Oh, Meesis Graham!” she gasped. “I make me vun big meestake, give stuff burn like hell. Did you put it on vet?” “Yes,” I returned shortly, for I was in no amiable mood toward Katie, “gnd Mr Graham is badly burn Bring me the olive oil as quickly as you can.” She went down the stairs two steps at a time, and was back with the olive oil by the time I had sorted out ab- sorbent cotton and bandages. I looked carefully at and even tasted the olive oil to be sure that I did not make any other mistake, and then hurried back to Dicky. He was walking the floor, evidently in torture, but there was mo sign of the inability to use his muscles that had been his before I applied Katie's remedy. Evidently the pain of the burns had driven the other malady away. “Sure you haven't got carbolic acid this time?” he demanded unpleasantly as I entered. “I just tasted the olive oil to be sure the label is right,” I replied. “Now it you'll e down, I'll do the best I can for you.” He obeyed without' further com- ment, and I fdirly flooded his back with the soothing oil and bandaged it well. I could tell from his breathing and the look on his face that the treatment was relieving the pain of his burns,'and iy fear that I had done him some terrible injury Jessened. When I had finished I spoke quietly. “Which physiclan do you wish me to call, Dicky " “Nobody,” he returned sulkily, and turned his face to the wall. “Forgive Me, Sweetheart.” I sat down by the window and looked out over the winter landscape, my heart heavy, my eyes full of tears. It seemed as though Dicky's boorish- ness had drawn a murky veil across the wonderful days we had spent to- gether since our reconciliation. Dicky must have called me twice before I heard him, so absorbed was I in my own bitter reflections. When his voice did strike my consciousness it had entirely lost the rude, angry note which had #o hurt me. “Too disgusted to speak to mie, dear " he said contritely. Ichurried over to the bed and sat down beslde him. ‘Truly, I didn’t hear you, Dicky,” I eaid. *“What can I do for you?" “Forgive me if U can, sweet- art,” he returned,” he returned. *“I know I've been seventeen kinds of a swine in this busiriess, and there isn’t any excuse for me. I just let ‘that devil of a temper af mine get the better of me again, that's all. But if you could forgive me—'" Dicky’s voice was full of the luring love Uit/ that had first won me, that never falls to capture me anew when- ever he chooses to use it. Woman- like, I forgot all ‘his harshness and rudeness and crept into his arms, WIFE DISAPPEARS—ROLL TOO. Peter Beleski of 139 Beaver street reported to the police last night that when he got home from work he found that his wife had packed up her clothes and left the house. Further investigation showed that Mrs. Be- leaki had also taken a bankbook with $300 on deposit which her husband had saved up. Beleski's chief con- cern was whether or not he could stop payment on the $300. SIDE TALKS Just “Getting ‘When 1 was looking at a gown in & toggery shop the other day the head of the department called my clerk aside for a moment. ‘When she came back she was evi- deatly full of something and it pres- ently bubbled over. It seems that a customer had just brought in a gown which my clerk had sold to her a year and a half ago. The customer was col because the sleeves (of Georgette crepe!) were wearing out. She Wanted New Sleeves After Eighteen Months. “She wants us to put in new sleeves,” sald the clerk. “Of course you wont.” She shrugged her shoulders. ‘“‘She’s quite an important customer.

What an in- dictment of the women who have bad all the privileges and opportuni- ties in the world! They Don’t Ask Themselves “Is It Fair?” “They know they can get by with it, and so they do {t” In other words they are handicapped by no inhibitions that a sense of honor and fair dealing would impose. A clerk in a big china store tells me that this same class of women will order expensive punch bowels on approval keep them for a day or two (avidently for some function,) and send them back unwashed! I was discussing this situation with a department head on day. “I den’t suppose men do that sort of thing,” I said, “And as women get out into the world more and get a better sense of business honor, they ‘won’t.” Should Men Uphold Their Wives, Right or Wrong? /*“I think so, too,” she said, “but u shouldn’'t wholly exonerate the en.
