HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison’ s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife ‘What Grage_ Draper Wrote to Madge, I opened Grace -Draper’s answer to my letter with hands that I kept from shaking only by putting forth all my will-power. Had she accepted | or refused the offer I had made her on Dieky's aecount? - And what would' be my own reactiéon to either decision on her part? At the mo- ment so conflicting w the emo- tions which swept me that I had no “answer for my own last query. Dicky strolled up behind me lazily, and looked over my shoulder as I read. His pose of indolent, casual in- terest was too perfect, too studied a thing to deceive me. I knew that his nerves werg as tense as mine over this communication. It -opened abruptly line or salutation, even as had other letter, the plea for which she had sent to me was in the South. I wondered anew the reason for this, whether under- neath her profered repentance there ,Was not a bitterness .which would not let her prefix even the conven- _tional “dear” to .a letter, although considering the abasement and re- morse which her letter and de- meanor had shown, my theory ap- peared most fantastic. “I have just received vyour kindly letter trough the usual channel,” the page began, and I noticed the caution which avoid- ed any mention of Linda Shell- ford’s name, “and you can never know how much joy and relief it brouzht me. The knowledge that you have really forgiven me, as you must have- befove taking me into vour life again, as wonderful to me as tht' prospect , of once more getting to work at with no date the parden, when I “You've got to slip it to hdr,” he no said at last. ~ “She don’t name names. does Gracies, and she’s had this posted a dozen.miles from Hemp- stead.

Curiously enough his words manner, instead of Iconfirming own premonition of evil with Grace Draper's. return to our life, lessened it materially. -~ I real- jized that my greatest fear of Grace Draper was - a sub-conscious fear connected with the influence She for- merly had wielded over Dicky I had tried to convince myself many times from overweening evidence that I had nothing to fear from-Hér.on this score, but the feeling persisted, and my spirits leaped at this tiéw evi- dence that it was based—upen no foundation whatever. “I am sure we won't.”” T said with more sincerity than 1 ever had thought I could bring to such an ut- trance.” “And .whn will .you:call-up " “Oh 1 suppese .we'd .better - run down tonightfi-even if it is late.” ‘he answered. ‘“‘That ice cream parlor will be open.

So Dicky ordered frappes tor himself and .me, and then went into the booth, emerging a few min- utest later flushed and perspiring: “I'll tell the world it's’ worth your life to get a long-distancé connec- tion when it's only twenty miles away.’ he said. “There isn't half the trouble getting New York.

So he sat up, stuck his head out of the tangle of brakes where he had hidden, and give the danger siz- nal, a sharp whistle. “Dear me!” he said. “I fear Father and Mother won't hear that. And if they go home they’ll run upon old dog Spot. And then there's no knowing what might happen.” He knew that his mother had gone to see Aunt Polly Woodchuck, who Billg Woodckuck ard Spot began to run at the same time. lived under the hill. that' his father, was enjoying a Green's And he knew with a few cronies, feast in Farmer clover patch. 11 hurry over to Aunt Polly's first,” he decided, “and tell Mother to beware of the dog.” So Billy Woodchuck scampered off toward the hill where Aunt l\\“oodchuck made her home. When ‘he knocked at Aunt Polly’s door and learned that Mrs. Woodchuck had, left some time before, Billy was much upset. “Perhaps she went to the clover patch,” Aunt Polly suggested. “You know your father sometimes forgets to go home unless somebody goes for him.” Well, Billy started off again. And he hadn’t gone far when he heard a sound that made him s up @nd listen. Like all his family, he had very sharp ears. And now, after cocking his head on one side for a few moments, he knew that what he heard was old dog Spot grumbling and growling. “My goodness!” Billy Woodchuck gasped. “He's left our house. And if I don’t look out he’ll catch me.” At almost the same instant old Spot paused and sniffed the air. “Ha!” he cried. *“I smell a Woodchuck. And it I'm not mistaken it's a different Woodchuck from the one I chased a little while ago.” Billy Woodchuck and Spot began to run at the same time. Billy head- ed for home; and Spot headed for him. Again old dog Spot was just a b)l too late. Billy Woodchuck darted into the hole in the hillside not a second too soon. He could hear Spot panting close behind him. —— PALACE — Now Playiug JACKIE COOGAN (THE XID) N ‘PECK’S BAD BOY’ One hour -of good hearty Ja Don’t M KEITH VAU hf;\ " L" !

It was plain that his parents were still abroad. “They may be coming from the clover patch now,” he groaned. “And if they are, they're sure to stumble upon that terrible creature at the door.
