Adele Garrison’| s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE . The Result of Madge's Search and What Katie Told Her, At my mother-in-lay's disclosure that she had thrown the photegraph of Ulaire Voster with its bizarre in- seription to Dicky into her son's waste-basket, and that the basket was downstairs on the kitchen poreh, 1 seiged her arm in a panic as great a5 that her face registered, “Quick ! 1 said tensely. “There| f&n't a second to lose.

After 19 years of married life the tedium & of matrimony had becoms intolerable for . JOHN BARRETT, succeasful arehitect. He Ancides that the breaking point has been reached. Now, middie-aged, he must he freed of ties if he is éver to enjoy life to ‘the full. He announces this to his wife, * ANITA, and tells her that he loves MYRA DEAN, a woman of ths world. Bar- rett learns that Anita has been none teo pleased with life in the past few years. After eounter-ascusations of lack of sym- pathy and appreciation, Barrétt goes to his attorney to Armn.a for a divorce. GO ON 'l‘l'l! m STORY. With his wife's words ringing in his ears, John Barrett taxied to town and ascended to the skyscraper office of Rex Warner, attorney-at-law. War- ren was a man you instinctively thought of as attorney-at-law rather than plain lawyer. He never permitted . emotion to express itself in word, 100k " or manner. When he felt strongly about someéthing, which was often, he said nothing but waited until he could do something. "Then he did it Warren and Barrett had been “Jack” and 'Rex” through the years of their- after-college intimacy.

FOX AND HIS TAIL, Tommy father was very proud of his tail=-his own tail, not his son's. And it was no wondeér, Mr, 1"ox had thé biggest tail of all the Foxes in Pleasant Valley, He oftén mentioned that fact, It was the sameé as saying, “the biggest in the world," because Pleasant Valley was Mr, Fox's world, His tall was beautiful, There was no denying that. And it was useful as well, On cold winter nights Mr, Fox wrapped his great tall around himself and slept*snug and warm. To he suré, thére was one draw- back about his tall, in winter. If a dog happenéd to chasé him on a stormy day, Mr, Fox's tail was llkely to hecome heavy with snow and sleet. Dragging extra weight behind him, he couldn’t run his fastest. He took great paine to keep hin tail trim, It annoyad him to see a bur stuck in it. It seemed to Tommy 1ox that his father was always pick- ing a bit of 16af or moss or grass out Fox's Good wmeéwning, #My!” he weplied of his tail. And if you wanted to see Mr. Fox fly into a passion, all you had to do was to stép on his tail. After. stepping on the pride of his father's heart, Tommy Fox always ran off and hid somewhere until Mr. Fox's anger had someéwhat cooled, However, there was less danger in slyly dropping a bur into Mr. Fox's brush--as he often called his tail. When he noticed the bur, Mr. Fox would think _hé had picked it up somewhere in the woods or the fieids. “A bur!” he would éxclaim in dis- gust. “I'm getting int6 them eévery time I stir out. I never used to bring 0 many home.” On days when he felt somewhat out of sorts, Mr. Fox used to grumble a good deal about burs. Even his best friends began to think he was be- coming a bit of a bore, with his fre- quent talk of burs. They didn't mind sitting down for a chat - with him about Farmer Green's hens. But to'be buttonholed by Mr. Fox and have to listen to his story of having just picked six burs out of his tail—that was downright dull! Well, one evening Mr. Fox had a dooryard caller. And having been greatly annoved by burs that vey Mr. Fox wanted to tell his neighbor all about his trouble. Mr.| Fox sat very close to him and talked right into his friénd's face, after the tashion of bores everywhere. His friend kept edging away. He opened his mouth a dozen times to tell Mr. Fox that he really must go,| because he had important business élsewhere. But Mr. Fox only talked the faster. He didn’t give his caller! a chance to say a word. Tommy Fox was playing about the dooryard. And noticing that his father’s tail and that of the caller lay slde by side upon the ground, he erept up behind them and dropped burs all over them. Mr. Ifox was so interested in his own story, and his friend was so in- terested in getting away, that neither of them. paid any heed to Tommy Fox and his actions. Theé guest squirmed and fidgeted! Mr. Fox seemed wound up to talk all hight. At last Mr. Fox's friend broke in upon his steady stream of words. “You'll have to excuse me, 1 have an engagement,” he said; and he had to bark loudly to make Mr. Fox hear him. “I'm going, Good evening!" He jumped up and tried to leave. Then there was trouble. His tail and Mr. Fox's wers stuek fact to gether. The caller's first jump upset Mr. Fox. His second jump dragged Mr. Fox along the ground. He made no third jump, because Mr. Fox sprang to his feet and tried to pull away. The caller growled, because he thought Mr. Fox was trying to Keep him there in order to tell him something more about hurs. Mr. Fox growled because he thought his friend had played a trick on him, putting burs in his brush whén the fellow | | knew how Mr. Fox hated thém. Tommy Fox was hoping to see a fAght right in his dooryard. And there i& no doubt that he would have, had not his mother heard sounds trouble and come running out of the house. She soon saw what was the mat- ter. “Be paiient, géentlemen! “I'll set_you free.

The astounding success of ‘“The Bat” is not at all difficult to under- stand.

And in the second place, it is every bit as full of laughs as it is of thrills, Thrills and laughs—an unbeatable combina- tion whether in a short story, a novel or a play.’ Next Tuesday and Wednesday nights Parsons' theater will offer the most pretentious organization so far housed there this season, when Oliver Morosco produces “The Little Kan- garoo’’ with James T.
