MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The “Bit of Advice” Lilllan Gave Jim About Katie, There was such sorrowful earnest. ness in Jim's honest voice as he de- clared his unwillingness to question Katie concerning the actions which had sent him into exile that I felt| my throat constrict with pity-—ana| admiration—for him, No knight or romance could have shown more loy- alty to his liege ladye, none could| have evidenced more delicacy and| tenderness, | But underneath his brave exterior the poor chap was suffering tortures of uncertainty, an agony of mind which was only natural in view or the performances Katie had staged just before his going away. 1 mo- tioned Katie to a chair near me, drew my own opposite Jim, and be forward, holding his guze steadily with mine. “Jim,” I begin slowly, "I havens words to tell you how much I admire the position you have just taken. Katie may thank her stars that she has so generous a husband, and T hope she never again will give you| such pain as that she caused you be- fore you went away, But it is much better that all that unhappy business should be cleared up. It will relieve! your mind utterly can promise you that—and it will enable you to understand Katle better-—and shiela her from the consequences of an old misfortune which was no fault of hers,” ‘ “Oh, Jeem—Jcem!” | Jim looked at me with sudden startled comprehension “You can't mean, Mrs. Graham—"" “I mean this," I interrupted. “You! went away because you had found out that Katie was stealing out to meet ' @ man. You thought she no longer, cared for you, that she loved some- one else, and you—in your own words—'cleared out 80 as not to both- | er her.' " { “Oh, Jeem-—Jeem !" Katie sobbed, | and without taking his eyes from my face, he put out his hand, caught hers, and drew her into the sheltering circle of his arm. | Madge Explains | “Now, the truth was this,” 1 went on. ‘“Katie was stealing out to meet a man, but she only went because of the most deadly terror a woman can| feel. And the man she went to meet| was the person on earth she loathes| most, the man she has most cause to hate and fear, but who threatened to kill you and me and my little lad whom Katie loves so dearly if she did not get a certain paper for him—a paper containing an important gov- ernment secret, which he thought was hidden in my father's room. It was only because Katie loved us all and feared for us that she went to meet the man of whom she was in such terror, and while she was very foolish not to tell you and me, yet we can- not blame her.” | Jim's eyes were blazing with fury when I had finished. “If T only had known, he never would have troubled her again unless his ghost came back,” he said thick- 1y. “1—T suppose it's that devil \'oui told me about when Katie and I were | married.” | “Yes, Jim," 1 answered. “He is the man whom Katie married when she was just a child, and then found out that he had a wife, It was a merci-| ful release for Katie, to know that he! had no legal claim on her, for he was and is an abysmal brute, but yon re- member how she suffered when she| asked me to tell you ahout that early mistake." “I remember,” he said, and I knew that Katie's humiliated anguish at| that time was fresh in his mind. “And | 1 remember T told her I'd take care of her and settle his hash if he ever| turned up and tried to make her| trouble, But I was sure he'd been killed in the war over there when she “MOTHER! | Keep Your Baby's Bowels Clean and Fresh with “(alifornia Fig Syrup”’ Millions of mothers depend upon genuine ‘“‘California Fig Syrup” to ©lean and freshen baby's stomach and | bowels.

Jim shot the monosyllable out imperatively. In a few words I told him the story of the awful accident which had happened to Joe on the very evening of Jim's departure, and of the likeli- hood that he never would recover, “That's some little comfort, any- " he said grimly, and Katie again chanted her belief that Joe nev- er would be innocuous until he was a corpse, Then Jim turned toward her, and looked at her steadlly. “Will you forgive me, Katie, girl?" he began, but Lillian interrupted him ruthlessly. “Don't finish that, Jim,” she com- manded curtly. “Any man in the world under the same circumstances would have done what you did. Katle was a very foolish girl not to have told you of that man's threats, She's the one to ask forgiveness. And let me give you a bit of advice. Keep a tighter rein on her. You've let her have her own way too much. THE NAUGHTY GANDER. Grandma Goose was very old. She had lived at Farmer Green's longer than any other of the farmyard folk. Except for old Mr. Crow and Timo- thy Turtle there was no creature of wood or field or swamp in Pleasant Valley that could boast as great an age as hers. Even the old horse Ebenezer called her 4"Grandma.” He could remem- ber that when he was a colt Grandma | Goose was a stald person with a big family. For many yvears she had been the leader of all the geese on the farm. When they went for a stroll across the road it was Grandma Goose that marched at their head. When they Grandma Goose, burried into tho | water. T waddled, in for their swim, them.

Her certainly caused the others to I | [ warned them up to her She was a big white dame~—~much the biggest goose that Farmer Green owned, When she wasn't feeding, or sleeping, she al. ways held her head very high, in a queenly fashion. When she turned around to glance at the marching column hehind her to make sure that nobody was lagging, she seemed to looked over the heads of the whole company, Who was it that told the flock if it was golog to rain? Who was it that to look out for foxes and minks® Who was it that sent the goslings hurrying for shelter when a hawk was in the sky? Who but Grandma Goose? Nobody of course! Although she often had a big fam- fly of her own, she was never too busy to tell her neighbors how thelr children ought to be brought up. And there were those that did not care for the advice of Grandma Goose. The mothers of other big families some- | times told one another that it was| about time Grandma let somebody else be the leader of the flock. The gander especially, disliked to be advised by her. Even less did he care to have her scold him in front of the other geese, verybody called him “the General” though goodness knows he never went to war except once, when he fought Turkey Proudfoot and was beaten, Once too, he said “I won't!" Grandma Goose when she called to him to come, out of the pond. “I'm going to be the leader of the flock,” he told her.

It was toward evening, softened to a meilow glow, when Dor- othy, tired of playing, sought Kate and with her small elbows on Kate's knees, her delicate chin cupped in her hands, gazed thoughtfully into the woman's face At length the child spoke: “Didn't my mamma come back with you?" she asked.
