MY HEART o MY HUSBAND ADELE GARRISON’S NEW PHASE OF Revelations of a Wife to Madge. ‘ I could not help wondering just| was | interruptions | ated | what rain of thought I following, for her only were those concerning the frust attempt of Milly | Stockbridge to l:\m-! per with my fruit punch and the cpl—' | of sode of the tea. She listened in silence to tale of the telephone conversation the frenzied woman had had with me hut; a little while before she was found | dead, of the threats she had made, o the mysteriously severed telephone ! wire, and of Mr. Stockbridge’s queer behavior. But at my mention of the man who had called upon me, she lifted her head for the first time. SARY he said, drawing a sibilant breath. “Now we come to the (‘u”\hl‘ gentleman in the woodpile. What did he look like—this chap who claimed to be Mr. Stockbridge's attorney?” I described him minutely. This time, to my surprise, she kept her eyes fixed upon mine as I talked. ‘You ought to thank your lucky stars for your memory, Madge,” shc said. “Your description of that man is as good as a photograph for me— better, in act—for a photograph wouldn’t reproduce some of the little carmarks you have noted.” my | A Memory Test. i Something in her manner made me think she recognized some of the pe- culiarities of which I had spoken. Was it possible that she knew ths man’s identity? In my excitement T almost put the query to her, but [ checked myself in time. If she thought it best for me to share her knowledge, I knew that she would tell me evervthing without questioning. T made her see how vital it was that the man’s identity be established. That was all with which I needed to concern myself. The rest could safely be left in her hands. = little later I found that she more than a description of the man’s person. After sitting rig- idly silent for a moment or two while she evidently conned and filed for future reference the information I had given her, she spoke again, abruptly: | “Now I want another test of vour ' memory, Madge. Can you give me vour conversation with that man verbatim, even to the inflection of vour voices? I want to see whether he got'anything out of you.” I do not believe that I have ever experienced a more delicious moment of gratified pride than that which came to me when, at the close of my narration—which was an exact re-| production of my conversation with the stranger—Lillian said approving- ly and with lingering emphas's: “G-0-0-d g-i-r-1! You didn't ‘give Tim even the tiniest crumb of infor mation, and that's vital in ihis mes: Be sure that vou stick to exactly the same attitude when the man comes back.” Lillian’s Plans. “Oh, do you think k2 1 asked, dis “Why, of course he will come ba aved.
