b . | something which Mrs. Graham, . ANTTA. What Lillian and Madge Did to “Handle” Dr, Pettit Lilllan's flank movement was suc- cessful. We reached the car before Dr. Pettit's long strides caught up with us. “Start your motor,"” she whispered, “before you speak to him,.” 1 obeyed, and the whir of the en- gine was much softer than the phy siclan's voice when he reached the side of the car “Have you seen this?”" he demand-' ed, holding up before my eyes tr® paper which had contained the fan- tastic account of Dicky's escapade with Claire Foster, Tt took all my will power to keeh from striking the hateful thing out of his hands. But a look at the phy- slelan's white, set face and blazing eyes steadied me. He was in a mood which needed no label to he recog- nized as distinetly dangerous. ““Yes, 1 have seen it,” T returned. making my voice as careless as pos- sible. “Horrid twist to give an or- dinary accident, fsn't it? T shall ad- vise my husband to thrash the man who wrote it if he isn't too big."” “You—you—"" The physician's volce: was thick with astonishment and rage. “Are you treating this as & joke?" “TI hope I still retain possession of my five senses,” 1 returned flippant- ly, “so I naturally see no reason for treating it as'anything else.” I felt Lillian's hand on my arm in an approving little pat, and the touch helped me to face the blazing wrath in Dr. Pettit's eyes. Dr. Pettit is Furious, “Look here,” he said in a louder tone, and with a more excited man- | ner than I ever had observed in him before. “If you think you can keep ' that man from me by this silly, child- ish talk, you are—* “Dr. Pettit !” Lillian's tone was' a . whiplash. “If you have anything fur- theér to say to Mrs. Graham, please step. into the car, for ave are ' going home immediately. If not, ‘iet me give you a word of advice. Melo- drama is out of date. Don't make yourself ridiculous by magnifying the person most concerned, is viewing very sensibly.” He stepped back from the car, and lifted his hat, the grayish pallor on his face deepening. MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE “If thrashing that scoundrel with- n an ineh of his life will make me ridiculous, I shall be a subject for your mirth at this time tomorrow," he sald grimly “Oh !" I gasped, thoroughly fright- ened, but Lilllan’'s cntting tone drowned the exclamation, “I congratilate you on your chival- ry. A little proceeding ke that ought to make things exceedingly pleasant for Miss Foster, Good morn- ing. Let's get ont of here, Madge." Lillian's Plan Obadiently T sent the car away from the curb, but I was so obsessed by the remembrance of the physician's had turned the corner and was well away from the chance of his seeing me, 1 drew the car up to the curb, stopped {t, and turned on Lillian “Do you think he means to go up there?" 1 asked. "'Of course he does," she returned, “But don't you worry. He'll not get any further than the rafiroad station. Your father and I ‘haven't attendéd Sunddy schoel for nothing.' We'll be able to manage dear little Herbie all right, and he'll never know what hap- pened to him." T smiled inveluntarily at her ridien- lous quotation, and my spirits which had traveled rapidly toward the zero mark at,Dr. Pettit's threat, began to ascend again. I know'better than to ask how she meant to accomplish the thwarting of the half-crazed man, but that she would effectually prevent his journey to the scene' of Dicky's escapade I was certain. “I'm content to leave everything in your hands,” T said, as 1 started the car again. ““Where to now?" “Home," she -returned promptly. 'You'll have to walt there for the aft- ernoon \train, and run the gauntlet of the reporters if they come. This Pettit Iupatic complicates things a bit, afd I want to get your father busy on him prento. Drat the man, anyway ! Who would have thought he'd blaze up like a P‘ourfh of July skyrocket?"” She laughted lightly as she spoke, but T knew that Dr. Pettit's fantastic performance worrled hér more than she cared to admit to me. Though it is not common, a few people, owing to individnal idiosyn- crasy, cannot eéat eggs without being made ill. —DEEP WATERS— BY ZOE BECKLEY. ADVENTURING IN ROMANCE. BEGIN HERE TODAY.

Nor would he seek alone. Ho announced that he intended to share his lot. with MYRA DEAN, a successful woman of the world. Barrett goes tn Myra's apart. ment and offers himself to her. GO_ON WITH THE STORY. Myra Dean regarded Barrett in tently for a moment. § “Come in.” She stood aside for him to epter. “You-—aren't you joking a bit heavily today, Jack?" “I'Il admit the heavy, but not the Joke,” he growled, entering the big, piquantly attractive living room, so re- flective of the woman who had made it. She was as alert, elastic and dainty In figure as a jockey, clad ag ghe was in well-worn riding tegs that had seen service in many a land; a “wind-flushed, eager little face in which an amusingly virile will power quar- reled with a very feminine prettiness; the embodiment of all that is modern, foot-loose, competent, ready fer any worthwhile adventure. Her brown eyes rested on Barrett now with a gravity uncharacteristic of her impulsive self. “8it in the fat chair,” she ordered, herself remaining standing. ‘“‘Nobody can be quite as silly foundered in that chair as erect and ready to fly north, SUCH PAINS AS THIS WOMAN HAD Two Months Could Not Tarn in Bed.

Now what am I to say in reply to that joke?" “That you accept me—only it's not a joke. Barrett sat down heavily in the “fat chair,” his gaze brooding about the room that so eloquently ex pressed the life of the woman to whom he had come, A huge desk, not handsome, of un- pretentious dull wood, was heaped with manuscripts, note books, copy papers, letters. A shining up-to-the- minute typewriter, business-like, but portable, and ready to be snatched up for a writing trip to France or Fgypt, a motion picture trip Into the wilder ness, or a war correspondent’s gam- bling job in the Balkans, sat there, with a half-written sheet still in its maw. Books, a fire, flowers, a deep divan—the makings of home-—and a partly, packed snit case with remnants of foreign labels, gaping impatiently for its equipment for a quick jump abroad.

What do vou think? Tommy has been play- ing with a dog down at Farmer Green's place!” Well, ' that was startling news. When Mr. Fox heard it he gave a yelp of surprise. “That's a dangerous thing to do.” he exclaimed. “I've known Foxes that made friends with dogs. But there was always trouble sooner or later. There never was a dog yet that I'd tru They'll follow you home if they can. And if they don’t try to catch- you, they'll try to get some other member of your family.” Mrs. Fox agreed with him. “Tt's a wonder,” she remarked with a shudder, “that that dog down at the farmhouse hasp't come snvoping around our home.” “Somehow it déesn't sound like old dog Spot,” sald Mr. Fox, “It {sn’t!"” Mrs. Fox explained. “It's a strange dog. At least, that's what Tommy says.” Mr. Fox pricked up his ears._ “Another dog at the farmhouse!" he cried. “That's the most unpleasant news I've heard this year. I'll look in- to the matter this very evening.” They went to bed then. When the Fox family awoke, to- wards nightfall, they were all bright as buttons. As soon as it grew dark Tommy Fox lost no time in loping off down the hillside. “Stop!” his father called after him. “Where ate you going?" But if Tommy heard his father he didn’t stop. In fact he seeméd to hurry all the more. “I'll look into this matter now,” Mr. Fox told his wife. .And then he picked up Tommy's trail and started nolselessly after his son, “Ha!'"" muttered Mr. Fox present- ly. “Just as I thought! This young puppy is going down to the farm- house.” The trail was leading straight across the meadow to“urdg Farmer Green's place. At the fence, beyond which lay the dooryard, Mr. Fox came to a halt. Through the pickets he could see his son frisking about a great, dark shape that sat motionless on the lawn, in front of the farmhouse. “My goodness!” Mr. Fox remarked under his breath.' “I wouldn’'t do that—not for a million hens!" He waited there for a long time. And when at last Tommy catme and slipped under the feénce his father seized him, “What does man?’ he hissed At first Tommy Fox was frightened And when he saw who it was that had him by the ear he was more seared than before. “It's nothing, Pa!” he whined. “Nothing!" his Yather retorted scornfully. "Do you call that great, dangerous animal nothing?" He's good-natured, He's harm- less,”” Tommy replied. “Why, T dared him to follow me home just now. And he didn’t even stand Up He just sat still and stared at mn Mr. Fox was amazed. “This is the queerest dog I ever heard of,” he said. “T'Il ereep up behind - him and see what I think about him." Teaving Tommy behind the fence, this mean, young Farmer Green has made a mistake. 01d Spot is a much better looking dog than thig one. Let him put Spot in the front yard; and let him keep thie one out back, to guard the hen- house!" “Oh, Pa!

Beaded Frocks The elahorately beaded frock Is gtill sponsored for evening wear. There is less beading on street frocks than was evident during the summer. Jet and pear! beads are popular trim- ming now. Fur Imnl Velvet A smart cape of Siberian squirrel is finished at the bottom with a wide flounce of velvet. The collar is a double frill of velvet. There is a de- cided tendency to combine velvet and fur in street as well as in evening cloaks. The I/nnz md Short Long skirts are said to be more popular with the younger women than the older ones, the rea- gon being that the young woman may wear practieally any type of gown, but the older one realizes that her ma- turity is emphasized by the long skirt.
