HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison’s New Phase of . Revelations of a Wife The Demand Lilian Made of Dr. Pettit. Exhausted by the strain to which her whole nervous system had been subjected, Lillian slept most of the afternoon, slept fitfully, it is true, rousing often to fix her eyes upon Marion's still unconsaious €ace on the «cot next hers, but, I think, rest- fully, for as the hours wore on her voice became stronger, and the ter- rifying gray look left her face. That there was yet danger some- where I knew from the attitude of Miss Jones, the tall, efficient nurse whom' Dr. Pettit had left in charge. Not once during the entire afternoon did she leave the room. She sat with her eyes fixed upon Marion, although I saw her gaze straying to Lillian now and then, and I knew that nothing in either patient's condition would escape her. She evidently had me In charge, also, for she insisted upon my veating a light but nour- ishing luncheon and later in the aft- ernoon ordered a pot of ho& tea for me. My mind was freed from all anx- iety about Junior. For Dr. Pettit— who had atcompanitd him home, and had returned to the hospital immediately in his own car, which . he had left at the Ticer farm—reporied him in perfectly satisfactory condi- tion. “He is leading his fond relatives a dance; but they all evidently en- joy waiting on him, so you need mnot worry in the least about-him,” he said to me in a low tone on his first visit to the room after his return. But I saw that even as he spoke he kept his ‘eyes upon Marion, and I feared thathe was more uneasy about her than his assurance to Lillian signified. And the fear grew upon me as he drew a chair to the side of the child’s bed, and while pretend- Gouraud’s * Oriental Cream PALACE NOW PLAYING The Famous Stage Star ‘WILLIAM COLLIER in “THE SERVANT QUESTION” More Fun Than the Proverbial Barrel of Monkeys, FATTY ARBUCKLE in “THE SHERIFF” KEITH VAUDEVILLE “Always the Best' All_Headliners ing to read, patently for Lillian's as- surance when she wakened, kept a watchful vigil over the unconscious child. “What Is It You Fear?” The sun was low when Lillian, upon waking, failed to doze off again, and looked clearly, resolutely at the physician. “Dr. Pettit.” scarcely a whisper, but it held old dominant note, and I knew her marvellous vitality and power were functioning again. “Y®s, Mrs. Underwood.” He rose and went around to the other side of her cot, so that her eyes would rest on him instead of Marion. As he moved, Miss Jones took his place at the child's side, and I realized that there was an unspoken agree- ment between. them, that the little patient should not have a single eccond unwatched. v “I feel quite myself again. Will it not be possible for me to get up? Marion will be sure to ask for' me, and I want to be able to hold her.” The physician studied her - face for an instant without amswering, then put his finger upon her pulse! At the end of a seemingly intermin- able minute he spoke with a cheer- fulness which I felt somehow was forced. “You are a marvel, Mrs. Under- would, enough to upset any physician’s theories. Yes, you may get up, pro- vided you will be very quiet anad careful.” y “Thank you. I will be most docile. May I ask one question?” Did I fancy that into his usually inscrutable eyes flashed a troubled expression ? “Yes, I do not promise to answer “I know it is an unreasonable question, but—I cannot help asking it. Have you any idea when—when —she will waken?” “I wish I could tell you.” Hjs deep voice was vibrant with sympathy. “But that is something beyond an human power to .ascertain. It may be hours, or’*—he hesitated percept- ibly—*she may recover consciousness at any minute.” Was there something telepathic in the uneasiness I was sure he was concealing. At any rate, Lilliar looked at him quickly, spoke sharp- ly. Her voice was -low, e the that will- “Dr. Pettit !

She was moving her head and hands slightly. Dr. Pettit-took Lillian’s arm and gently pushed "her to a position where Marion’s eves would rest upon her face first. And then the heavily fringed lashes lifted, and the child’s eyes looked straight into the hungry ones so like them. “I have no reason to fear anything| _She ;justified |, his judgment by making no outery.| NEW Unless otherwise noted, these bureaus of the theater or af TOM MEX MIXES IT €P WITH GUNMEN AT FOX'S Tom Mix, grack shot with rifle and pistol, hit the bull's-eye of popular favor this afternoon when he opened at Fox’s theater in Round-Up,” based on William Mc- Leod Raineg’ story.

At first his mother thought she would call him “Runty.” But she soon &hanged her mind about that; for she discovered that even if he was the runt of the family, he had the loudest grunt of all. So the good lady made haste to slip a G in front of the name “Runty.” “There!” she exclaimed, “Grunty” is the name that you ought to be proud of. It calls attention to your best point.

There is no doubt that he would have been willing to change his name a dozen times a day for the slight bribe of a drink of warm milk. His mother sometimes said that he had the biggest appetite—as well as the loudest grunt—of all her seven children. And she was glad he ate well, because food was the very thing that would make him grow. “You won’'t always be Grunty, if you eat a plenty,” Mrs. Pig often told him. And then he would grunt, as if to say, “You don’t need to urge me. Just give me a chance!” Grunty Pig soon learned that being the smallest of the family had one sad drawback. His brothers and sisters (all bigger than he) could crowd him away from the feeding trough. And they not only. could, put they often did. Unless Grunty reached the trough among the first, there was never a place left where he could squirm in. If he tried to eat at one end of the trough-he was sure to be chouldered away and go hungry.
