MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Vanishing Stunt the Ch Achieved With Madge's The big man at the wheel of the limousine jumped down and came to the door of the tonneau, “Do you suppose anything has hap- pened to him?" he asked worriedly. “Perhaps I'd better go after him," The yashmak-veiled woman shook her head decidedly, and I realized that whether or not she were Grace Draper, as 1 so strongly suspected, at least she was the head of this ox- nedition, The big man remained standing by the door of the car, and for several minutes we heard nothing but the muffled beat of the throftied-down engine of the limousine. I“or that mat- | ter, we did not hear the chauffeur’s approach until after he came into| view, walking hurriedly, but with « casual alfr, along the winding path into which he had driven my car. “Did You Turmm Her of MAll set,” he said as he came up to the gray limousine. “Did you hear the crash, and was there anybody else around” “Not that we saw,” the big man re- plied, answering the last question first, “Let's hope there wasn’t anybody we; didn’t sce, for it sure sounded like the Wall street explosion. What dic you do with her?" YGave her a shove into the finest hole you ever saw in your life,” the chauffedr replied. “Don’t know what is was originally, whether it's naturar or somebody dug it there,.but it's deep, and covered with vines and un- derbrush. When 1 discovered it, = tested it to sce how near I could get| to it. Then I drove her almost to the cdge, got out, and gave her a good push. She went down Into the mua right side up as slick as you please. Then 1 fixed things up a bit where 1 drove her over from the path. 1 don’t believe anybody that wasn't Jooking for her would ever notice any- thing there unless some kids go rub-| bering around, and that isn't likely." | “Did you turn her off before you gave her that last snove?” demandea the big man. “Say, what's cating you?" demand- ed the chauffeur truculentiy. “D'ye think T ju; got out of the Idiots'| Home? I'd be apt to leave her run-! ning with the danger of the thing| catching fire, to say nottwng of the noise she'd make. Yes, you big stiff, I shut her off, and here’s the key !o‘ prove it. T thought maybe the young lady would iike it as a souvenir.!” | A Welcome Souna He bowed half-mockingly to me as he held out the key, but something| about him impressed me vaguely witn| the idea that he was the least dan- gerous, the least vicious of the three| people concerned in my capture. | filed the fact away in my memory for further reference, and held out my hand for the key with a smile which I tried to make both wistful and grateful, “Thank you so much,” I mur- mured, as I tucked the key into my purse. . The yashmak-veiled woman leanco forward, touched the big man on the| arm, and pointed to the wood patn,| which plainly showed the traces of | the entrance of the small car broken branches and tire marks into the road. The big man nodded, and spoke to the chauffeur. “'Get the hatchet and the shovel and | come over here. You'll keep watch?” His eyes interrogated the veilea woman. She nodded her head and the two men worked rapidl chopping the broken branches clean- Iy and throwing cvery vestige of them | Then they smoothea took a last sat- and came back to into the woods. out the tire trac isfied look around the car. “That's sure jake now,” the big man said, as he entered vhe tonnea:. and the chauffeur mouns=d to seat. “Nobody can tell now where that car left the road. some dirigible swung a and lifted her, lady and all, into the air. Step on her, George.

He had offecred to help her of his own free will. He had even begged her to go swimming with her goslings while he took her place as ruler of her geese, Turkey Proudfoot had told Grand- ma Goose that she ought to stop working so hard. But there was an- other reason (which he did not tell her!) why he wanted to take . the - ————— e geese under his care. He called him- self the ruler of the farmyard. But tc tell the truth, not many except the turkeys and the young gobblers paid any heed to his commands. He thought it would be very pleasant to strut about and give orders to Grand- ma Goose's geese. And what he es- General Gander mind him. Oun the morning when he was to take Grandma Goose’s place at the head of the flock, Turkey Proudfoot woke up long before dawn. He roused his flock of turkeys before the ‘T1l go and et Favmer Greem’be | offered. pecially expected to enjoy was making | first hint of gray appeared in the eastern sky. “What's the trouble?” they asked him in alarm, “Is there a fire? Isa coon trying to get us?" “No! No! It's time to got up,” he told them, There was some grumbling when he sald that, . “It's dark as midnight,” somebody complained, “And cord!" added an- other. “We don't want to leave the shed so earl “Never you mind how dark and cold, it 1s,”" said Turkey Proudfoot sternly, “When I say it's time to got up, all you need to do is to obey me, Lively, now!" In a few moments the flock of turk- eys was shivering in the farmyard, “Wait here!” Turkey Proudfoot or- dered. "“I'm going to leave you for a short time. An don't be alarmed when you see me leading a mob back here."” He went away then, to wake the flock of geese, Outside their house he gobbled his loudest. And soon Grandma Goose answered him. “What is it?" sho called. *'What do ou want?" “1 want this flock of geese to wake up apd come outside in a hurry,” he replied. “But it's too early to get up,” she objected. *“You mustn't disturb my flock now. Walt half an hour."” “Impossible!” he gobbled in grandest manner. “Well, they can't go out until Farmer Green comes and unlocks the door,” said Grandma Goose. ‘And he won't be here for half an hour, at least."” “What a perfect'y ridiculous ar- rangement!” Turkey Proudfoot scold- ed. “I don't like it at all. I shall have, these geese roost in the wagon- shed tonight. “They haven't the right sort of feet for roosting. They can't roost,” Grandma Goose told him. “I'll. make ‘'em roost,” Proudroot gobbled savagely. (Copyright, 1928, by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.

I | wanted to ask her if she ever had smoked before John, Surely, Mrs. | Prescott, no man would ask a woman | | to he his wife whom he knew &moked | cigarets, even in these jax days. While we were at the Country Club, a very good-looking young man came into the dining room and Leslie's young sister, Alice—who also was smoking—beckoned him over, One could sce that this man was desperately in love with Miss Ham- ilton. He never took his eyes off her. | Poor fool, she must have encouraged him much bhefore she turned him {down for John. He is giving her a fancy dress party next week, but ”n'-nhr‘r of them saw fit to invite me, | Perhaps it is to be so wild that they Jknr\\‘ T would not approve, Dear Mrs. Prescott, T know you will | be grieved, if not heartbroken, at this | marriage. It is not at all what you tcould have wished for your beloved | son. | Mary Alden sends her love to you | |and we will both go to the wedding. {1t is to be a grand affair—a great show of money. ' Miss Hamilton is still indulging in an orgy of clothes* buying; perhaps this is a good thing, as 1 learned in a roundabout way that she will go to John with only a modest check from her father-—enough perhaps to buy a grand piano, but nothing more.

This desk always has been given since that time to the first daughter in the family. I however, having no daughter, am giving it to you and to my son, Tt is supposed to be the best ex- ample of Napoleonic cabinet work. | Indeea, it is sald that the first Na- poleon himself gave this desk to la- fayette. There is a tradition to the effect that there is a secret drawer in able to find it. Yon will gee for your- self when you sce the desk that there is a great deal or room that is unac- counted for, but how to get into it is a mystery to me and I have spent hours trying to solve it. I never felt justified, however, in having the desk taken apart. 1 do not know whether your taste runs to antiques, but this is not so very old, you know, not nearly as an- cient as xome of the things that came (over in the Mayflower that are in my | home and shich will be yours some- day. | T have received a letter from Miss Rradford in which she tells me that !ehe has had a most charming \visit with vou.

Haircloth Turban The haircloth turban is returning to favor and is frequently trimmed with long, drooping feathers, or. even ostrich.

YOUTH MURDERS GIRL WHO SAID SHE DIDN'T LOVE HIM Shoots Her at Door 0f a Paterson Factory Where Both Were Employed. Paterson, N. J,, March 21.—Harriet Hunt, 18 years old was shot and in- stantly killed last evening by a youth whose love she had refused, Alfred B. Bonnema, 18. The shooting was done at the door of the Warner Rib- bon Label company, at 181 Ellison street, where they were both em- ployed, as they were leaving for the day. Bonnema has known her for three vears, he told the police, and had loved her all that time. Recently he asked her to “keep company' with him, but she said that she wasn't old enough and that her parents wouldn't approve. DBonnema persisted in his attentions, and yesterday afternoon asked her again to accept his atten- tions, She laughed, and Bonnema took an automatic pistol from his pocket -and fired five shots, four of which hit the girl. One of them struck her in the forehead and she fell dead. 19 Cpmx;unicable Disease Cases Reported by City The New Britain Health department during the past week, reported the following cases of communicable dis- ease to the state department of health Diphtheria, 7; whooping cough, §; scarlet fever, 1; measles, 3.

The picture stars Tom Moore in “Pawned"” a mystery play dealing with life in the underworld of New York. The pic- ture, however, is not enfirely a crook play and has a delightful romance entwined with its exciting episodes.
