MY HUSBAND'S LOVE REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Way Madge Rolled “a Mountain On Alfved's Mind My intuition was vight. When | @nally had convineed the long dis tance operator that our telephone had the number she was calling, | heard Alfred Durkee's veice, insistent, im- patient “But, 1 te and there home there | 1 “Hello Alfred " 1 put in guiekly and he changed his sentence in the middle “Thank geodness, last! I thought 1 never you" His voiee was tremulous with nerv. ous excitement, and 1 caught a des| spondent note in it whieh chilled me “What—what news?" I faltered, | “Pretty bad, Madge,” he returned, | slowly, and I caught my breath, “You mean Dr, Foxham thinks really is He struck in as if he could not hear me to name the dreaded scourge which was in both our minds, “Yes, He hasn't a doubt wvises an operation right away, blood is bad." “Oh !" The certainty of what 1 had tried to fight myself from belleving, came like a blow to me, and for an instant 1 stood dazed by this confir. mation of my worst fears, Alfred Is Troubled “T know." Alfred’'s voice was rough, | brokeén, “It's got me, too, Why this| thing should come to her, the sweet. est, most lovable—'" He stopped, chokingly, and gather. ing myself together, I asked calmly, practically: “Have you any plan? you want me to do?" | “I haven't an idea,”” he answered worriedly, "You know Mother, how obstinate she 1is, underneath that| sweet placidity of hers, I haven't seen her yet, to tell her what Foxham | sald—I've just come from his office, But this morning, the last thing she said to me was that no matter what Foxham said, she wanted to wait to see what that old pill down here in Marvin had to say about it. Nobody knows when he will be home, and when he does come he's just as likely as not to tell her that she has neural- gia, or rheumatism, or something like that."” ‘Would ysur mother accept the verdict of Dr. Braithwaite, Dicky's brother-in-law ?"" I asked quietly, “What ! Alfred shouted the word into the telephone. “Do you mean that he—" : “I mean, that with your permission, I'm going to ask him to come on here and operate on your mother, or have her go there, And he'll know wheth- er there's any mistake in Dr. Fox- ham's diagnosls, although I'm afraid | there isn't."” “I'll Answer For Her" “But, Madge,” Alfred protested, though I caught the sudden hope in his voice. “Dr. Braithwaite is one of the biggest men in the country. Conld he leave his hospital? Would he?" “He's pleasing himselt more these days.” I assured him, “He always comes to New York any once or| twice a year, and his visit is past due, And for Dicky he would do anything; but do you think your mother would—" “WOULD she?" Alfred interrupt- ed. "She thinks Dr. Braithwaite s the most wonderful piece of uphol- stery ever cut off the roll. Whatever he tells her will be law and gospel. If he can only take her case. It will take a mountain load off my mind !" It was already slipping off. 1 knew it from the returning huoyancy of his voice. I hurripd into details: “Do you want to communicate with Dr. Braithwaite, or shall 17" “Oh, you, by all means- 15 the number, somebody at you, that always s Madge it's you at would get " He ad. | The | What do | if you WHY bend over a hot range for an hour —and then have the family say that it’s “too hot to eat?” Mueller’s Egg Noo dles cook in 8 minutes.

ORNAMENT. Mrs. Bear hesitated. Her husband had suggested that she bite off the head of the big snapping turtle, which | ad clamped its jaws fast upon the tip of his nose. To tell the truth, the notion not appeal to her. Who knew but that the turtle might let go of Mr. Rear and seize her nose? And would Mr, Bear then bite off the turtle's head for her? While Mrs. Bear was agking her- self thes» questions, her hushand re- newed his struggles.

Mr. FRear exclaimed as his wife gave the turtle a vicious shake, “Don't move your head like that!" Mrs. Bear, of course, couldn't an- swer. But she favored Mr. Bear with/| a Yook which sald as plainly as any- Can't you see that I'm trying to help you?" “T give up,” Mr, Bear soon sald with a groan of despair. ““Let go!” But she paid no heed to him. She put all her strength into one mighty bite. And to Mr. Rear’s relief the| turtle fell to the ground, headiess, His joy, however, was short. The turtle's head still clung to the end of his nose! “Oh, dear! Oh, dear!” he wailed. “What shall we do now? How can 1 get rid of this horrid thing?" Mrs. Bear stared at him dully. This was something she hadn't expected. “You'll simply have to let the head hang there,” she told her husband at lust, “You'll have to wear it."” Mr. Bear gave a frantic bellow. “Oh! T don't want to!" he roared. “What will all my friends say when they see me with this turtle’s head on the end of my nose?” “Don't worry about that, Ephraim,” said Mrs, Bear, soothingly. *“Who knows but that turtles' heads. worn on the nose, may soon be very fash- icnable?" As she looked at her hushand, she couldn’t help amiling. It struck her that he was an odd sight. “What are you grinning at?” Mr. Pear demanded angrily. “Pardon me, Ephraim!” said Mrs. Bear hastily. “I—I1 wasn't grinning— I—I was only thinking how queer folks looked with turtles' heads for nose ornaments.” That explanation did not please Mr. Bear. On the contrary, it made him all the more furious. “l wish this thing was fastened to your nose,” he stormed. (Copyright, 1823, by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)
