MY MA RRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way ‘Madge Strove to Avold Harry Underwood, Only ‘the conseiousness that some- Wwhere behind me were the watchful eyes of .the three reporters, kept me from a violent start as I caught sight of the tall man who at my approach had suddenly turned away from the head of the. stalrway and melted into the~crawd, 2 For 1 instantly had recognized the -flnguln with which the tall man was invested, and knew at once the iden- tity of the' man sporting the white military ' mustachios and . closely- trimmed white beard of an welderly foreigner, and wearing the faultlessly tailored but foreign-looking.clothing. Harry Underwood again appeared upon my ‘horfzon. And. with the knowledge of the watchful eyes be- hind me, there was'no other person of my acquaintance whom I more dreaded to meet. With him in my vicinity, I felt'as if I_were holding a can of explosixes in one hand and a lighted match in the other. That he had been watching for my appearance at the head of the wait- ing-room stairway I was sure, and I did not need to exercise my mental powers very greatly to deduce the reason for his heing there. He had told me that he kept close track of my doings and Dicky's, and he must have read the account of Dicky's es- capade in the morning newspapers, and decided that I would take the first train available, His quick avoidance of me meant only ‘a respite. Harry Underwood can do nothing ‘except with a dra- matic flourish. I was not only sure that he would join me at some stage of my journey, but that he ‘would endeavor to provide a setting for his appearance which should breathe mystery and melodrama. A Sudden Inspiration, If I could only elude him and the reporters at the same time! I clicked my teeth angrily at the remembranee that my inexperience in city dgiving had prevented me from making the entire journey by motor, and I men- tally resolved that before many weeks had passed I would be able to #tke my car anywhere. But that resolve did not help me now, and as I walked slowly across the space devot! to hurrying commuters coming and go- ing, I tried to think of some feasible plan, And then, with a sudden inspira- tion I wheeled and hurried toward the stairway which' leads up from the Long Island station to the taxi en- trance. I was tempted to step into a taxi there and be taken directly to the ferry, but I had a psychic lit- tle feeling that somewhere behind me Harry Underwood’s keen eyes were watching me. and I dodged between taxis across the driveway into the big open space of the Pennsylvania sta- t;?en. I had remembered ,that: from the corridor of the lavatories be- neath the women's waiting-room there is a door leading into the’laby- rinth of stairways and passages. By these I might reach the Elghth ave- nue side of the big bullding, and with good luck get a taxi unobserved, tewell yed, Lady Fair!" Trying to keep my gait a moderate one so that I might not be conspicu- ous by my haste, I walked through the concourse and the waiting-room and down the steps into the lavatory corridor, and thence up the stalrs to the Eighth avenue. entrance. But there was no empty taxi to be seen, and I realized that I must walk to the corner. before getting one, 1 cast an apprehensive ’glance around me, was reassured by seeing no famillar face, and ‘made my way to.the corner where 1 was instantly accostéd: by the chorus: “Taxl, lady? ' Taxi?" 1'selected the man nearest me, and walted until I was in the cab before I gave him the direction. Then in a low tone I told him to take me to the ferry and to hurry. I knew that I could have made much better {ime to the Jersey terminus of my train by taking the tubes, but I already had decided to wait for a later train to Caldwin or to find some other route to the village than the direct one which I was sure the reporters meant to ‘take. At the ferry entrance I paid and dismissed the taxi man, walked into the big building and secured my ticket just in time-for the opeding of the gates. I went directly to tHe front of the boat, my favorite spot, one of which I never tire when crossing the river, and exulted over two things—that I was alone, and tkat I had eluded Harry Underwood. The boat was moving slowly out of the slip when his voice, cautiously low, but full of exultant mischief, sounded behind me, * “Well played, Lady Fair, but you'll have to get up earlier in the morning to fool your Uncle Dudley.” What Harry Underwood Swiftly Explained, Then Demanded T had not eluded Harry Underwoad, after all ! Thix wos my first chagrinel thought as his flippant and stero- 3 ped salutation, “Lady Fair,” assailed my ears. As T slowly surncd and faced him, the words secmed so incongrous with his appearance as a veaerable, wirte-bearded fereigner, that for a bewildered econd, even aswhen I had first seen him In this role, I cou:d not believe that it was indeed Lilllan’s recreant husbaund who stood before me, lut with a qu'ck, furtive glance around, eviisn fc¢ assure himself that no one was observing him, he cnatched. off his ~ disguising, thick- lensed glasses and grinned impudent- 1y at me; his brilliant black syes aancing with merriment—eyes which no gne"who had ever seen them could mufake for any cthers than Hary .aderwood’s. ‘Convinced, row?” he asked. “You —DEEP WATERS— BY ZOE BECKLEY. FATE TAKES HAND—AND BAR- 'y RETT MEETS MYRA. Barrett felt a curious lightness without relief. It was something to know he had launched out, that there would be no more weighing of chances, no more hesitation. He was through with maddening monotony. Whatever was ahead must be change and test and trial. It did not matter which it was, so long as it.led on and on. Up to the moment he had found Myra had run away he had pictured his immediate future as - with her. There had ' been in ‘his- picturing the tang of something positive, all that Myra stood for, a zestful hazard. Now that she, too, had shown her- self weakly afraid of convention—that 18 how he put it—he would have to g0 on alone. Well, it was a bitter tang ‘the adventure took on, but it aid retain“a tang.

He started apathetically for the grill when around the end of the promenade ‘deck * came- suddenly a woman buoyantly striding. No amount of cold-weather cloth- ing could disguise that familiar walk ~=dainty yet energetic, feminine and self-reliant. She came on toward him, her head lowered to the stiff wind. Barrett stood rooted to the deck, unable to think fast enough to meet the situation. At the same time there came such a turmoil of con- fused emotion that even could he have decided on a course of conduct the next moment must find him under the drive of a different impulse. The woman her head still bent to “MYRA!" i the wind, one gauntletted hand hold- iug down her mannish little soft hat, was almost abregst of him. Another step and she would pass. He stepped forward. “Myra!" i Startled, she looked up at him. Then, seeing it was Barrett( her face flushed scarlet, then paled. Shocked, appalled, panic-stricken, she looked as though catastrophe had overtaken her. “Jack Barrett,” she merely moved her lips, and stood there staring. (To Né Continued).

Now, tell me, what more is there to this perform- ance of the Dicky-bird than is in the morning papers? Have you heard from him?” : There was in his voice a note of authority which I resented, yet I did not know exactly how to voice my feeling, and took refuge in an evasion. “How. did. you know I would be here?" 1 asked. He whipped off the glasses again, and I felt as if the brilliant black eyes were laying bare every reservation of thought I had. “All right, all right,” he said. “I'll answer your question first, but that isn’t golng to get you anything, for I'm here to. learn the whole history of this little fluttering of the Dicky-. bird's. However, I always believe in humoring the ladies, especially the pretty ones—'" Again he flashed the old impudent grin at me. “So I'll tell you that the minute I saw the account of the Dicky-bird and the beauteous Miss: Foster in this morning’s papers, I knew that a cer-! tain divinely-foolish and forgiving lit- tle girl would be hot-footing it to- ward her erring spouse as fast as trains could carry her.

Tommy Fox had caught Frisky Squirrel. “Now we'll have fun!” Tommy cried, as Frisky Squirrel squirmed be- neath his paw and tried fo escape. Poor Frisky squeaked with fright. “That's right!” Tommy exclaimed. “Pretend you're afraid. Pretend to try to get away. And I'll pretend to let you.” “Pretend!” thought Frisky Squirrel. “My. goodness! I was never so terri- fied in all my life”” He stopped struggling, as he tried to get his breath. For Tommy Fox was squeez- ing him hard. “Come! Come!” Tommy urged him, “Don’t you want.to ptay? Don't you want to enjoy the fun?” “I don't like this kind of fun,” Fris- ky Squirrel gasped. '"Let me go, please! I'll never drop another nut on your nose—nor any shells either.” Tommy Fox laughed long and loud. “I don’t believe you will,” he howled. Frisky Squirrel shivered. Tommy Fox:could feel him quaking beneath his paw. “That's right!"” Tommy told him. “I Too late he knew that he bad been too ¢reedy like to feel you trembling. It makes the game all the pleasanter. And I wish you would kindly oblige me hy| squeaking a bit louder. When I squeeze you, please squeak proffipt- ly. Now!" And he pressed his paw down 8o heavily upon Frisky that that small gentleman couldn’'t make a sound. “What's the matter?” Tommy in- quired. “I hope you're not going to sulk.” I thought you'd like this game.” Then he lifted his paw suddenly. Feeling the weight of it gone from his back, Frisky Squirrel gave a spring. But Tommy Fox was ready for him. With his other fort paw he knocked | Frisky Squirrel to the carth and held! him there once more. “That's right!” cried = Tommy, | “TRat's the way I like to see my friends play. You pretended you didn’t want to play. But you meant| to, all the time.” TFrisky Squirrel did not answer. What could he say? He knew that ho matter how much he might. beg Tommy to let him go, Tommy would never do it. I'risky himself had seen Tommy Fox catch mice in the woods, From a safe seat in a tree Frisky had watched Tommy play with them. He wondered if some mouse were watch- ing the game now. “There's your nut,” said Tommy Fox presently. + “Don't you want it? Go and get it.”” Again he raised his paw, meaning to clap it down the mo- ment Frisky Squirrel moved. But Frisky lay still. “You refuse a nut!” Tommy I'ox exclaimed in mock surprise, “If TI! didn't see it with my dwn eyes T, never would have believed it. Aren't| you hungry? Or have you—ha! ha!— lost your hmlc-.for nuts?”’ Frisky Squirrel looked dully at the nut on the ground before him. He wished with all his heart that he had never secn it. Tt was that nut that| had got him into this trouble. ' It was a fine nut. It was tho enby; Bire 0 ssaks da big one that Frisky had taken from his winter's store. It was a nut that would tempt almost anybody. And now somebody happened to see it. Dodging out from the stone wall near-by, Sandy Chipmunk caught sight of it with his sharp eyes. A tree trunk hid him from both Tommy Fox and Frisky Squirrel. So far as he could see, there was no- body in sight. He dashed quickly towards the nut. And then he stopped and tried to turn back. The sight that met his gaze was enough to terrify any small crea- ture. Tommy Fox saw Sandy Chipmunk young couple. They choose at the same time a branch having at its ex- tremity flve twigs. On one they, fasten an apple; on the other four, tufts of red wool. The apple is an emblem of ‘love, the tufts of wool are symbollc of household thrift and in- dustry.

But as he lurched forward he lost his bal- ance slightly. With a yelp of dismay he saw Frisky slip out from under his paw. He clutched wildly, now at Frisky Squirrel, now at Sandy Chip- munk. Too late he knew that he had been too greedy. He beheld Sandy Chipmunk darting into a cran- ny in the old stone wall. He caught a glimpse of Frisky Squirrel safesin the tree above him, “That's a good game for two,” Tommy muttered. “But for three it's no fun at all, (Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)
