W BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY &, 1vzr. e Adele Garrison’s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife 2% LTS R XS « The Request Marion Made Her Anxious Mother. As Marion’s weak little voice nt- tered her mother’s name, Lillian bent over her with the tender, speciul understanding smile which loving mothers reserve for their children. It seemed of itself to envelop the child in safety. “Yes, sweetheart. here.” “What’s the matter? Her scream seemed roof. For a terrorized feared that some inadvertent ment of her body had given her pain, and knew that the physician and nurse shared my apprehensions by the quick, concerted movement they made toward the child. But in an- other second the explanation had come. “The horses!” Marign shuddered, and we realized she was living over the awful moment when the maddened animals had dashed over her. Lillian had dropped to her knees beside the cot at the cry, and had drawn the terrified child into her of Mother’s right O-h-h—" to pierce the instant I mov sh and darling,” here 5. “There, there, ~soothed.

With one hand cling- ing to her mother’s hand, and the other caressing her face, she ap-| peared to be revelling in the assur- ance of safety her mother’s embrace gave her. Then her eyes roved to the rest of us. “Auntie Madge,” she said with glad recognition. ~Dr. Pettit—" there was wonderment in the clear tones. ‘“‘Amd—" her eyes rested on Miss Jones in her uniform. “Mother, where are we? This isn't one of the rooms at Ticer’s.” With characteristic caution Lil- fian glanced at Dr. Pettit for advice as to the answer he wished to the child. He nodded his head in permission to reveal the truth, and Lillian smiled gayly at her small daughter. “I'll give you three guesses,” she said, and I saw that she was deftly trying to remove any uneasiness in fhe child’s mind by her own un- concerned manaler. Mariqn's face lighted with answer- ing gavety. “That’s easy,” she said, looking at +Miss Jones’ uniform. “It's a hospital. LYCEUM NOW PLAYING ., THE THREE FORBES KIDS (These Children Come Hartford.)

Her children would put their fore feet right into the trough when they ate their meals out of it. Nothing she said to them made the slightest difference. Even when she told them that they were little pigs they didn’t seemn to care. “We're all bigger than Grunty is,” said one of her sons—a bouncing black youngster who was the most unruly of the litter. “Your’e all greedy,” torted. “Do Mrs. Pig re- try to restrain your- X § “Youre all greedy” Mrs. Pig retorted. selves when you eat. there’s plenty of time.” “But there’s not always plenty of food,” Grunty Pig told his mother. “Sometimes there isn’t any left for me.” “I know, said Mrs. Pig. “I know that your brothers and sisters eat your share whenever they can. Farm- er Green furnishes enough food for you all. And if you children didn’t forget your manners everybody would get his share—no more and no less.” Now, Mrs. Pig was not the only one that noticed how piggish her youngsters were at the trough. One day Farmer Green himself remarked to his son Johnnie, as they leaned over the pen, that that litter of pigs did beat all he had ever seen. “They came a-running at Remember— Clearance $ 3_7 5 LManish eghorns EASTERN MILLINERY CO.

He's almost twice the size of the little runt.” “The runt doesn't get his share,” aid Farmer Green. “We'll have to do something to help him, or hell never be worth his salt.” Grunty Pig looked up at Farmer Green and gave a plaintive squeal, as if to say “Hurry, please! Because I'm always hungry.” And Blackie, his greedy brother, looked up at Farmer Green too. He said nothing. But his little eyes twinkled slyly. And afterward he told his brothers and sisters that Farmer Green needn’t think he could keep him from drinking all the skim milk he pleased. “If mother can't make me be- have, surely Farmer Green won't be able to,” he boasted. Of course Blackie Pig was very young. Otharwise he would never have made such a Silly remark. And he soon learned that Farmer Green was more than a match for him. The next day Farmer Green made a long lid that dropped over the feed trough and covered it com- pletely. And in the lid he cut seven 'holes, one for each of Mrs. Pig's children. There was no more jostling at meal time. There was a place for every- body. And Mrs. Pig was delighted with the improvement. When Farm- er Green filled the trough, each of the chilqren stuck his head through 4 hole and ate in the most orderly fashion. To be sure, there was some squealing and grunting, and some snuffling and blowing. But it seemed to Mrs. Pig that no youngsters could have behaved more beautifully. And Grunty liked the new way of eating too. But Blackie made a great fuss. He complained because he couldn’t stick his nose through two hiles at the same time!
