| for a long while we sat silently in our “Make Up" With Madge “Are you comfortable?” Dieky away from the railroad station and | turned into the smooth but winding | road leading to the resort where 1 was to find Claire 17oster. “Couldn’'t be more so, thank you It took an effort to keep my volce tuned to just the right piteh of airy flippancy, the attitude which I intend- ed to adopt during this whole humil- | fating episode into which Dicky's ri- diculous escapade had dragged me. 1 felt far more like turning on him stormily and having “a good old- fashioned row" over his dereliction, regardless of whether the taxi-driver| was scandalized in the process. But i that primitive outlet for the emotions| being denied me, I knew that the only safety for my poise lay in ad-| hering strictly to the role I had writ. | ten for myself. Any deviation from | it might let loose the elemental fem- ‘inine I had chained in a remote re- ‘cess of my being.

To me came a flashing, stabbing re- membrance of other moonlights when Dicky and I together had motored over country roads. That he remem- bered, too, I knew as from beneath my lowered eyelids I furtively caught him gazing at me with an expression * almost wistful. And then he coughed, ‘s little, unconscious mannerism of his when, as most rarely happens, he is ‘at'a loss how to handle a conversa- tional situation, and spoke slowly, hesitantly. *“Do you know, Madge—you've been & brick about this mess.” “What did you expect me to do, shoot from the hip?” I retorted with an airy little chuckle. “I know that has been the invariable custom even in some of our very best social circles whenever a wife feels herself a bit peeved, but I think it's a bit passe now, so many women are taking it up. And I'm not a very good marksman, anyhow.” “You little devil!” His voice held & mirthful, appreciative note, and I saw that my retort had led him to believe I was not really angry. “Try- ing to spoof your bad boy, eh?

There was a far more effective means ready to my hand, and 1 was aware of it with the flendish subtleness' possessed only by | married couples who have lived to- gether long enough for each to know each weak place in the other's armor, 1 therefore withdraw into myseif | every vestige of tenderness or any| |other emotlon, leaving only the airy | shell of indifference, which of all my moods Dicky detests most. Without | even the hint of a struggle I sat quh‘l-‘ ly in his arms and permitted his kisses, but no tinlest responsive move- ment of lips or body did T make. When after a second or two he| realized my attitude, he suddenly lift- | ed his head and withdrew his arm, “You're about as responsive as a glass of iced tea,” he said sullenly. | "Oh, Dicky dear, can't you thlnk‘ of a more complimentary simile-—gay | an orange frappe now, that would be ever so much—" A word exploded on his lips as he | flung himself away from me into a corner of the taxi again. All the feline in me purred content- edly at this exhibition, but I knew better than to speak until he hroke the silence himself, and it was a long five minutes before he spoke again, “Look here !"” he began gruffly. "I know you have a right to be sore, but you also have a right to an ex-| planation, and before we get up there I'd like to have you undertand—" I put up a protesting hand-- “Please spare me the Dicky,” I drawled. ‘“Really, interested.” 5 FORMER YANKEE REINSTATED Chicago, Dec. 13.-~Two former members of the New York Americans, who were on the incligible list, were reinstated today by Commissioner K.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Dwidawed by the death of her husband, AN, KATB WARD starts for her childhood home in a small inland town. On her way she ponders on how her mother, 12 years before, had turned her away with the words, “What—you back?" when she ! sought refuge from the trials of making a living in a large city. GO ON WITH THE STORY But now she was going back—back —Kate kept saying to herself. When the first graying light finally came through the cracks between the window frame and shade, Kate Ward gathered her things and went to the dressing room. ; She was eager! There was some- thing of the girl about her cazerness. It was a little after 6 when train pulled into town. Palestine was pe- ginning to awaken. Its folk who tilled the fields of Tllinois corn had ‘finished their harvesting and were !“taking it easy for a spell.” Kate Ward wanted to see the man | whom she hoped would still be out| in the little rain-washed house near| the cemetery. She wanted his wel-| come before she touched the hands| of any of the others. So, instead of going down the one main street, she took a by-way and skjrted the town,| making way With hasty steps toward the spot she hoped had remained un- changed. It was all so familiar! Almost it looked like the same goldenrod bloom- 4ng in the fence corners and sounded 1ike the same birds trilling in the trees. But 12 years are long! Kate's heart beat faster! What if he wouldn't be| there? Why had she been silent ail | these years? | {thin line of smoke coming from the | Monk! HE PASSED A HAND OVER HIS | EYES. the road! She could see its loved outline through the trees which stood protectingly about it. There was a chimney. Someone was there! She wanted to call aloud. The gate was pushed open, the gate she had swung on a million times. A shaggy head was thrust out. It was Monk, up to his old tricks,| slipped an arm around me and bent | asked courteously, as the taxi whirled | his face to mine to kiss me, feminine I had chained so securely, | JIMMY RABBIT AND THE TER SPORTS, When the first fine, heavy fall of snow came so early in the winter Jimmy Rabbit thought at once of Miss Belinda Bunny. “I'll go to her house and ask her if #he wouldn't like to come out with me and enjoy the winter sports,” he de- cided. So off he hurried. And soon {he was knocking at Miss Bunny's door. “'Well, inquired, Jimmy Rabbit snatched off his cap. “Can your daughter come out?” he | asked. “The winter sports have be- gun. I know she wouldn't want to miss them.” Mrs. Bunny looked for a moment or two, as if she were about to say no. But to Jimmy's relief she said yes, that Belinda might come out. And then she asked, “Just what do you in- tend to do, young man?"” “Yes, Ma! We'll play in the snow," cried a volce from behind Mrs. Bun-| ny. And in another moment Miss Be- linda herself slipped past Mrs. Bunny w young man?" Mrs, Bunny Behind hey mother's back Miag Belinda wrig¢¢led her nose. and joined Jimmy dooryard. “Good!” cried Mrs. Bunny, in what | was—for her—a very pleasant tone. “That suits me, You two can play right here in the dooryard. It will be great sport clearing ~ all this snow away from in front of the hovuse.” Now, that was not at all what Rabbit ' in the Jimmy Rabbit had meant by “winter|, sportsl’ But what could he say— especidlly when Mrs. Bunny put a broom into his paw and said she was glad to see young folks have a good time. Behind her mother's back Miss Be- linda wriggled her nose. She had a way of doing that sometimes. Jimmy Rabbit couldn’t be sure whether she meant anything by it, this time, or whether she didn’t. He hoped she did. Well, it took them a long time to clear away the snow. And soon after they finished, Mrs. Bunny came to the door. “Come called. enough.” Again Miss Belinda gave her nose a funny twist. And Jimmy Rabbit couldn’t help laughing. “What's the joke, young man?" Mrs. Bunny inquired sharply. “Nothing, ma'am!?” Jimmy Rabbit murmured. “Where's my broom?"” Mrs. Bunny demanded. “Here it is," And he handed stick. She stared at it in amazement. “Where's the rest of it?"” she cried. “We ate it, Ma!" said Belinda. “Ate it?" Mrs. Bummy cried. “Ate it? Why did you do that?” “We were hungry, Ma,” replied. “If I'd known you two were that hungry I'd never have trusted you with my best broom,” Mrs. Bunny declared. *“I'm expecting friends in for tea this afternoon. That's why I wanted the snow all nicely swept Belinda!" been out she long in now, “You've said Jimmy Rabbit. Mrs. Bunny the Belinda, ma'am-—we did s Rabbit pointed out. 's! Yes! That's true, young man. But I don't know what I'm going to do now.
