MY MARRIAGE Adcle Garrison The Words of Advick Katie's Loyalty to Madge Wring From Her Katie's query as to whether or not 1 meant to take Junior with me, was like a knife thrust. But there are times when one’s emptional depths are so stirred that nothing matters save the particular obsessing reaction which has seized one, 1f there had been a question of my little lad's physical welfare 1 know that 1 would have been.turned back from my purpose of going away from my home. But with his grandmother and Katie and Jim on the job, I knew that he would lack no care which even I could give him, and he was too young to grieve at my ab- sence when all his other surroundings were his accustomed ones. Another sentence, not Dicky's this time, flashed itself into my remembrance, “If only it were feasible for you to go away for a while, we wouldn't have to worry about the place here,” Lillian had said upon the night of my arrival home, “for with you and your father gone there would be no interest here for either their private schemes of vengeance or their big plot. The farmhouse would be as safe as a church for Junior and the rest.” The words were both comfort to me and justification for my action. My father already gone,~ the only scruple I could have had against my flight was removed by the remem- brance of my friend’s words. My small son for a little while would be PROBLEMS 's New Phase of A GOOD LISTENER. Grandma Goose had been the lead- er of the flock 80 many years that she liked to have her own way. She en- Jjoyed giving orders to others. But no one could say that she didn't do her best to take good care of every. body, She knew when the birds gave their' warning of a hawk overhead, She knew the stgns of a storm. Hhe could tell a rat-hole when'she saw it, And all these things she tried to teach the flock. But they didn't pay much heed to Grandma's talks on ‘safety first."” BSo long as they had her to warn them, they were content to trust their wel- fare to her, Whenever the flock was enjoying & swim in the pond, Grandma Goose derwood," 1 said, "when she asks you where I have gone, not. before, And In this envelope"—I showed her the one on which I had written her name, “is the address of the place where you can reach me if Junior should be sick or anything should happen that you needed me badly, But"” I sald clearly, “remember, that you are not to open this unless you do need me, for then when anybody asks you if you know where I have gone you can truthfully say that you do not know.
