The Hesitating Word of Advice Madge's Father Offered Her “Remember,"” killian whispered, as after Katie's delicious ~luncheop, 1 stood on the side veranda while' my father brought the car he had given me to thé door, “don't he ‘hasty in your judgments,' That’s all T ask of yon," “I'Il remember,” 1 replied, Kissing her warmly, and hoping that she would not notice that I had promised only my memory, not my actions. But I knew from the troubled look which flashed into her eyes that she had caught my omission. 1In all honesty, however, I could not promise any kindly feeling toward Dicky., 1 was too angry at him for any other feel- ing to sway me, and I climbed into the car beside my father with the knowledge that her eyes were sorrow- fully and worriedly watching me. The knowledge as well as my som- bre thoughts concerning the ridicul- ous errand on which I was bound Kkept me silent during the drive to the sta- tion. 1 felt subtly that my father was covertly watching me, and 1 was not surprised when we had drawn up at the station to have him turn to me and say hesitatingly: “You Won't Be Offended?” “Daughter, dear, you won't be of- fended if your old father sounds just a note -of warning?" To myself I said rebelliously that I could very well do without advice from him, Lillian or any one else, But T could, not hurt him by even a hint of my feeling, and my answer was prompt and earnest. “You know that you could not pos- #ibly offend me,” I said, and he laid his hand over mine in a swift caress. “Let me tell you first, dear child,” he said, and there was the hint of re- pressed anger in his voice, “that T am your champion in’this thing. Your husband is absolutely in the wrong, and he has no reason to expect any leniency from you. I ai glad I am not younger or I would give him the thrashing he deserves for subjecting you to this undesirable publicity." I shivered a bit as he came to Al sudden stop, for there was something | in his voice and manner which made | me realize that beneath my father’s| gentleness there was a man I never had seen, a man of tempered steel, who had participated in many wild and hard scenes of which ‘I knew nothing. \ “But while all this is true,” he went on in a more softened tone, “I am very sure of one thing. There s nothing really wrong in this escapade, nothing which should cause you to shut your husband away from either your forgiveness or your confidence.

Forgive me if 1 have hurt you." “You haven't hurt me,” 1 whis- pered, as he helped me from the ear and escorted me to the train. “And I'll try my best to do the right and generous thing." “That's my brave girl," he whis- pered back, and then with his good-by kiss upon my cheek and the remem- brance of his tragic eyes in my heart I boarded the train and started on my journey to join Dicky. Too well 1 knew what he meant by that last tremulous revelation. He must have been the man who had | been driven to an irrevocable wrong by his wife's severe judgment of in- nocent indiscretion, T never had known the real story of that long past tragedy in the lives of my parents. That my father had deserted my mether for another woman when 1 was four years old—this bald fact 1 knew, and 1 was familiar with my | father's long and bitter atonement and his search for me. But my moth- er's side of the story had never been told to me. She had kept it’ bitterly. locked in her own heart, although in my trung there was a record which upon, her dying bed she had asked me to read if ever in my life with my husband 1 should need it. Was it possible, I wondered, that my mother had once faced the same problem I was now confronting, and had made the wrong decision? A TRICK WORTH Kl\O“H\G‘ It was almost milking time. John- nie Green and old dog Spot had gone to the pasture to drive the cows home, and the Muley Cow was miss-| ing. “She’s jumped the fence again, in- to the back pasture,” Jehnnie told old, dog Spot. So with Spot running on ahead, Johnnie Green Started up the hill. And that was the reason —DEEP WATERS— BY ZOE BECKLEY. THE LOVE BIRD HAD FLOWN. After securing his passage on the Zeeland, Barrett went to the office of his personal lawyer, “Allison, I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow,” he told the kind but grave old senior partner. “I'll be gone long enough to establish—grounds for a suit for divorce by my wife. Deser- tion, of course. I want you to do everything legitimate to facilitate the action.” The old man rose hastily, agitated, profoundly troubled. “Why John Barrett, T didn’t know —pever dreamed—have you thought this over—have you considered—" “Everything. Meanwhile see that my family has everything of mine but the bare necessities of my travel abroad. Get together with Rex War- ren,: my wife’'s lawyer. Have things go through with as little distress to Anita as possible.” Allison drummed with his fingers. “Just a minute, Barrett. \;m\ t \nnl COULD NOT TURN IN BED : Operation Avoided by Taking Lydia E.

MYRA HAD DELIBERATELY | little-used back pasture that afters noon, Young trees—birches and spruce dotted the black pasture, as well as clumps of ferns and berry bushes, It was not easy to find a cow that strayed there, Though Johnnie and Spot looked everywhere, they couldn’t see the Muley Cow, At lamt Spot barked, Green, a little way from him, his bark and exclaimed, her!" But Spot hadn't found the Muley Cow, He had stumpled upon gome- thing far more interesting than that staid creature,. He had found two foxes—an old one and a young one, It 'was Mrs, Fox and her son Tom- my that Spot had surprised. “Come this way!" eried Mrs, Iox to Tommy when old Spot saw them and barked. “Follow me!" To Tommy's amazemeént, his moth- er didn’t dash into the woods, In- | stead, she headed downhill, straight | fgr the pasture where the herd of cows was moving slowly towards the Lars, pausing to snatch tempting grass tufts now clover tops. “Aren’'t you making a mistake, Mother?"" Tommy asked as he bound- ed along by his mother's side. Mrs, Fox actually . smiled.

It was certainly no time to disobey one's mother. Mrs. Fox and her puzzied son drew nearer afid nearer to the cattle. Then they dashed into the herd and ran in and out among the wondering cows. At last Mrs. Fox dived right under a‘'cow that stood on the edge of the herd, beside the brook. She leaped down .nto the brook, followed it up stream a little way, then turned and doubled back: toward the woods. Tommy followed her every move. -AB they reached the upper end of the pasture they could hear old Spot still barking. rying about in frantéc haste among the cows. Mrs. Fox smiled grimly looked at her son and spoke. “That's the trick,”” she said. “There's no Wetter way to hide your scent from a Dog.

Since her debut role, | she has essayed Rachel In “'La Juive,” | Itezia in “Oberon,” Santuzza in “Cav- alleria,” Elizabéth in “Don Carlos," Fivira in “Ernani,”" the title role in “Aida,” Wora in “L'Amore de Tre Re,” gnd as Carmelita in the only production of Briel's American opera “The Legend,” At least four other roles will fall to her lot during the coming season. 8he will render arias from some of the roles which have made her name 8 household word at her appearance here at the I"ox theater Sunday after- noon, December 1V, under the aus- Mcees of the New Britain Musical club, Previous to Rosa Ponselle's sensa- tional leap from the two-a-day vaude- ville stage to a prima donna role at the Metropolitan Opera House with the great Caruso singing opposite her, the American opera devotee had been inclined to look askance at any such possibility, believing for the very good reason that' no one else had ever negotiated the chasm, that it couldn’t be dome. Once firmly established in that company of the worid's best, Miss Ponselle learned to her great de- light that her vaudeville experience | was of almost inestimable value—a fund from which she has conunued to draw ever since. Miss Ponselle’s appearance will mark the flood tide of the present | music season and although a perform- ance by the Metropolitan opera com- pany entire is & consummation devout- ly to be wished, the presence of one of its brightest stars will probably be duly appreciated by our local music lovers.

MUSICAL COMEDIES—PARSONS James T. Powers was greeted by an enthusiastic audience in Hartford, at Parsons' theater, last evening, when he was presernted in “The Little Kan- garoo” by Oliver Morosco. It has been a long time since such a numer- ous company of capable entertainers have been seen there at a single per- formance. Fully a score of principals were required in the presentation, aug- mented by a chorus of 40 singing and dancing girls who, as is not usually the case when they are accomplished, were good to look at.
