MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New N-.' REVELATIONS OF A WIFE \ What Dicky Did te “Make Good” on . the Telegram. + Dieky put his packet of letters back in bis pecket, and stared moodily at the floor, My fingers itohed to snateh the letters fram his pocket and look them over carefully, for I was sure that somewhere among them was the telegram wirich Dicky had accused me of losing, Bt I coyld de nothing to prove. my theory, or to help Dicky in the dilemma which he faced, “Fine time I'll have trying to trace this address now without that tele- gram," he growled, . “Would it help you gny if you had the words of the- message?" I ukcdl diftidently, . " | “How would that—" Diecky, pn' truculently, then he changed q A grudging "It might, Can you nmem-[ ber them?" ] “I think so," I sald, pretending dif- fidence, But in reality I was very sure of every word enclosed in the| yellow envelope which meant so much | to Bob Bliss. Almost unconsciously | I had concentrated on its contents as I'do when I am ftrying to remember something, and my freak memory | §ad done the rest. “Then write them down—please," he sald ungraciously, and I complied, with outward docllity, but inward ro- bellion, /1 knew he was honest in his ' be- Mef that I was responsible for the dis- appearance of the important telegram, but that did not excuse his obstinacy in giving but a perfunctory search to his own pockets. “There !"

Even Farmer Green had to admit that Mistah Mulc's behavior had improved.

Was this airy indifference of Claire's the secret of the undeniable attraction she appeared to have for 'my hus- band? 2 “Holy Mackerel !” ‘The question remained with me dring Digky's absence, prolonged for two hours. I had no sewing or mend- iflg with me, and I could not fix my ind upon reading, although I kept up the pretext of perusing a book. I was glad indeed that Claire seemed disinclined to conversation. I felt that I could not have borne the strain of talking with her upon any .sub- ject. And I was glad indeed when Dicky came in, even though my figst look at his face showed that he was in a black mood indeed. I forbore to ask hikh any questions, but Claire Foster efther did not sce sis mood or disregarded it. What luck?" she asked lazity. #'Luck !"

Here's a lot- ter to the storckeeper. He'll give you a part for the mowing machine, Hur- ry right back with it,” slow walk it was. The sun, beating down upon Johnnie Green's back, felt scorching het. It beat down upen Mistah Mule's bagh too, And he be. &30 to think that it would be feolish o climb that mile-long hill ahead of him, dragging the wagon and Johnnie Green behind him. His head drooped. His ears flopped back and forth with every step. And at last he moved so ;l-wly that Johnnie Green spoke to i, ‘Get along, there!™ he eried, draw- ing the reins tighter, Mistah Mule stopped short, “Giddap! Giddap!" Johnnie shout- ed, "My goodness! | hope he isn't go- fog to balk. Go on, there!™ And he slapped Mistah Mule with the reins. Mistah Mule lald back his edrs, slowly jurned his head, and stared at Johnnie Green. There was no doubt that he had balked, Johnnie djdn't know what to do, His father was walting for that part for the mowing mavhine, And John- nie ‘hadn't even reached the village yet, . He sat unhappily en the seat for a few minutes, And then he made up his mind that he would do something, “I'm going to, tie this old mule to a tree and walk to the village and back,” he decided, 8o he jumped out of the wagon and tried to lead Mistah Mule out of the road, "flut that stubborn fellow wouldn't stir, (Copyright, 1923, by Metropolitan + Newspaper Service) Fancy Footwear Broacaded slippers in delicate col.
