HUSBAND’S LOVE Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Surprise They Encountered in the Darkness For a second or two, at Jim's startled question. ‘‘What's that?” I gave the brave and faithful but some- what stolid fellow cralit for more mental ability than I hud fancied he possessed. I though that he had asked the question in order to avold answering the query I had voiced concerning his possible encounta* with th: state trooper, but as 1 saw him dash aside f-om the path we were following, I realized that something out of the way had engaged his attention. And then, faint but distinct, I heard a hoarse little whimper: “Mama." I did not cry out, but my heart ut- teced Katie's loud and frantic wail. as we both rushed after Jim. And| when I could control my voice. I sent | continued cheery calls toward fthe di- | rection from whence the littie voice‘ had come. | “Yes, Junfor, Mother's right here. | Stand still. Don’t move ntil Mother | comes, ‘It was but a few seconds, althoughj it seemed an interminable time, be- | fore we came up to my small son, who, safe in Jim's arms, was rubbing his eyes with the back of a grimy hand, and making a brave attempt not to be “a baby'"—his pet detesta- ‘ tion. ‘ Katie’s flashlight and mine played | over the little figure, and the same exclamation of dismay came to our| lips as we saw that he was bare- headed, and with no coat. I tore off my motor coat to wrap him in, and | Katie, throwing off her own coat, | snatched mine from me, and wrap- | ping Junior in it, caught him up and | started for the farmhouse. | Katie Taks Command | “Me, T roon fast and carry heem, | t00,” she said authoritatively. ‘“Missis | Graham, you throw my coat 'round | you, eet not so varm as dis for babee, | und ‘“den roon fast as you can, hold | flashlight for me ven mine no go.” | “I'l carry him,” earnestly volun-| teered the slower-witted Jim, but| Katie silenced him with an impatient | “Too much waste time changing. You roon on, see beeg fire in fireplace, und tea kettle got mooch hot vater.” She dominated both of us, by the sheer weight of her devotion to theJ child in her arms, and I found my-Y| self trotting obediently by her side, | thanking Heaven for her tireless | muscles and quickness of perception. | Jim pasced us, for, fearing a pos-i sible stumble, Katie watched ground | in front of her at each step illumin- | ated by the flashlight. And when we | reached the farmhouse, Mother Gra- | ham was at the door, while through | the open door I could see Katherine | hastily heating some milk, and Mrs. | Ticer kneeling before the fireplace | with a blanket before it. “My Mama NOT Bad.” The child was shivering when Katie get him down, and I saw Katherine glance at him with apparent careless- ness, but with what I well knew was professional scrutin: as I took the !bering the defiant defense of the ab- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HE warm blanket from Mrs. Ticer, wrapped my little son in it and sat down in a rocking chair by the fire, cuddling him close to me. “We only just missed him,” Moth- er Graham was repeating over and over mechanically. '‘He couldn’t have strayed as far away as'Jim said. He couldn't have !" | Then, as the fright which had well- night paralyzed her faculties began to | fade before the reassuring sight of her idolized grandchild safe before the fire she turned on me with the old fam- iliar carping: ¥ “If you had fastened that door properly, Margaret, when you and Katie went out, this would never have happened. You must have left it open,”. My small son straightened his shiv- ering body in my arms, and looked deflantly at his grandmother. “My mamm DID close the door,” he said. I pushed a chalir and turned it mine own self. Me bad, My mama NOT bad.” “The Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady,” 1 said to myself, remem- sent mother from the mite of a girl across the road, but aloud I put an anxious query to Katherfne “Doesn’t he sound hoarse to yoy?” “Not any more than would be nat- ural after such exposure,” she said placidly, and coming forward, prof- fered Junior‘a cup of steaming milk. “Drink this, Junior,” she sald coaxingly. *No, it isn't too hot,” as he drew back. “Auntie Katherine tasted it, herself.” In the doorway I saw the hesitant figure of Jim, with a distinctly ap- pealing look in his eyes. That he wished td' tell me something of im- portance, I was sure. Knowing that for the present my small son was better in Katherine’s care than in my own, I rose with him in my arms and motioned my kins- woman to the chair I had just va- cated. —_—— Gossip’s Cornes ‘Window Cleaning ‘When you want to polish your win- dows in a hurry, rub them with a cloth dipped in vinegar.

My Dear John: I do not wonder that you an- nounced to me the news of your adoption of a child through the clip- ping from a daily paper without any comment. I cannot understand why you would do such a terrible thing, particulariy after my telegram to you which I sent immediately upon receiving Mrs. Hamilton’s letter tell- ing me that you had some ridiculous ideas of doing this silly thing. John, have you no pride of an- cestry?

And that you further have insuited your illustrious prede- ceasors by giving that child not only your name but the name of the an- cestor of whom we are most proud— John Alden! It seems incredible. Why John, do you realize that this child is probably illegitimate? No woman, no matter ho wpoor, would give up a child in this way, refusing to disclose her identity, unless that child was born in disgrace. The only reason I can think of whereby Mrs. Hamilton would agree to this awf: piece of insanity is that both she and her husband have come, as you might say, from the that be- leng to us who count among our progenitors the splendid Puritan I do not think I shall ever recover from this terrible disgrace.

BY SISTER MARY‘ GREEN PEPPERS Sweet green peppers offer an excel- lent opportunity for the cook to use left-overs attractively and lighten the meaty, course in hot weather. Be it remembered that meat produces heat and any substitute in the way of milk | and eggs is desirable. Peppers have little food value ex- cept as a stimulant to the appetite. They are always acceptable in a vege- table salad as a garnish and to give a piquant touch to the taste. There is a thin flim over the out- gide of a pepper that is indigestible. This should be removed no matter Low the pepper is to be served. Dip in scalding water and slip the skin. There are many varieties of sweet peppers, but we see the green one oftenest in market. There is a big yvellow sweet pepper that is delicious. The flesh {s thicker than the green pepper. And the sweet red pepper has a rather spiey flavor lacking in the common green variety. All of these peppers are delicious canned for winter use. Canned Peppers § Cut sliee from stem end of peppers. Remove seeds and white fiber. Cover with cold water and let stand until ccol. Pack in sterilized jars, add % teaspoon salt to a pint, fill jars with bolling water, half seal and boil two hours in hot water bath. Peppers canned this way can be used during the winter months quite as satisfactorily as fresh ones in the following recipes. These rules are for immediate use in summer menus as meat substitutes. Peppers Stuffed With Rice and Cheese Four peppers, 2 tablespoons un- cooked rice, % cup grated or finely chopped cheese, % cup milk, 1 table- spoon flour, % teaspoon salt, 1 table- spoon butter. Let peppers stand in bolling water for five minutes and slip off outer skin. Chill in cold water. Cut slice from stem end and remove seeds and white ribe. Wash rice through several waters. Add slowly, without causing boiling to stop, one quart of rapidly boiling salted water. Boll twenty-five minutes. Drain and blanch in cold water. Melt butter, etir in flour and slowly add milk. Add salt and cook until thick and smooth. Add cheese and rice. Fill peppers with mixture. Stand in a deep bak- ing dish. Surround with one-half inch of water and bake forty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Peppers Stuffed With ‘Rice and Nuts Prepare peppers as in preceding rule. One cup nut meats, 1 cup cooked rice, 1 tablespoon minced parsley, % teaspoon salt, 1 egg, milk. Beat egg slightly. Add nuts, rice, salt and parsley. Mix thoroughly and add milk to make moist. Fill peppers with mixture. Bake as in preceding recipe. Left-over meat can be used in place of nuts and dried bread crumbs in place of rice. Peppers Scalloped With Macaron! Four peppers, 2 onions, 1 cup ma- caroni, 2 tahlespoons butter, 1 table- spoon flour, 1% cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt. Cook macaroni in rapidly boiling salted water for twenty minutes. Drain and blanch in cold water. Par- boil peppers and slip outer skin. Cut slice from stem end and remove seeds and white fiber. Cut in slices one- fourth inch thick. Make a white sauce of the butter, flour, milk and salt. Put a layer of macaroni in a buttered baking dish. Add a layer of peppers and sliced onions and cover with white sauce. Add another layer of macaroni, then a layer of peppers end onions and the remaining sauce. Cover with macaroni, dot with bits of butter and bake half an hour in a moderate oven.

After the little unpleasantness con- cerning the small fish that Cuffy Bear caught, and his father ate, the Bear family fished in silence. Some time afterward Mr. Bear made another pass at a fish that swam near the rock where he was squatting. “Missed him again!” growled Mr. Bear. "“And he was a big one.” “I've got him!" Cuffy bellowed a moment later. Sure enough, he had! There on the shore of the lake was a great fish, flopping and floundering. “I'l put my paw on will, any of the heirlooms which have come down to us from the John | Alden family.

Dr. Harkins explained how he tried to separate chlorine, the greenish yel- low gas used by the Germans when they first introduced chemical war- tare. Chlogine has long been con- sidered onesof the 90 odd elements, like carbong oxygen and hydrogen, which havég defled all attempts are present in the earth and in the sun. “For five years we worked,” he said. “We tried all sorts of apparatus and used more than a ton of hydrogen chloride before we succeeded. The gas was diffused through the stems of church warden pipes. These pipes are made of white clay and have stems between 18 and 24 inches long. The lighter parts of the gas passed outward through the stems. The heavier parts remained, and thus we discovered that our so-called element, chlorine, could be separated and an- other time-honored theory had sur- rendered. Virtually all physicists and chemists in the United States have accepted the results.” Dr. Harkins then demonstrated that mercury, also considered a fundamen- tal substance, can be broken up. Like the chlorine twins, the parts of mer- cury look alike but are vastly dif- ferent in weight, he explained. Dr. Harkins is performing similar experi- ments with zinc and cadmium to see if they too are mixtures instead of elements. \ “These experiments indicate, then, that there probably is only one funda- mental element instead of the 90 we have been pinning our faith on all these years,” Dr, Harkins said. “That basic element is hydrogen, and, ac- cording to my theory, all the so-called elements are compounds of helium or helium with hydrogen. But since helijum itself is built up from hydro- gen, then all the elements are intra- jtomic compounds of hydrogen.” Young Mexicans Given Right to Hold Property By The Assoclated rress.

Also, there will be the news reels and comedies, the latest episode in “Fighting Blood"” and a stirring drama “What Fools Men Are.” Then on Monday comes “Jacqueline,” from the pen of James Oliver Curwood, while the last half of the week brings Rodolf Valentino and the original cast in that stupen- dous production “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” Despite the mag- nitude of this attraction, there is to be no increase in prices. “What Fools Men Are” is a com- edy drama, with plenty of laughs yet having a serious veln and a good bit of romance. Thomas Meighan sup- ports Miss Talmadge in “The Heart of Wetona,” which first starred Le- nora Ulrich and was Belasco's great- est success. It is a story of a half Indian girl who has been wronged by the man she loves. She refuses to tell the name of her betrayer and the agent of the Indian reservation is ac- cused. This man really has been in love with the girl, but has never told her as she apparently did not care for him. To protect her he marries her. She ig cast out of her tribe and later, through sonfe dramatic and highly romantic situations, she learns that she really does love the man she.| has married. “The Four Horsemen of the Apo- calypse,” written originally by Ibanez and adapted to the screen from his story, is admittedly one of the great- est photoplays ever filmed. Beginning a week from tomorrow night, the Lyceum will hold its great revival week. During this period there will be a different picture each day and each picture will be one of the greatest screen successes of the year, thus giving everybody a chance to see their favorite again or to see one of these pictures that possibly they missed at a previous showing. On Sunday evening, August 12, there will be two features, George Arliss in “The Man Who Played God"” and Douglas Fairbanks in ‘“The Molly- coddle.” The next day brings Doug- zar Fairbanks in “The Three Muske- eers.” Tuesday brings Mary Pick- ford in “Through the Back Door;” Wednesday, “Way Down East,” with role; tleroy,” with Mary Pickford; Friday, star pffer Fran| Richard Barthelmess in -the leading Thureday, “Little Lord Faun- “Dream Street,” with an all cast, and Baturday, “Orphans of the Storm,” with the two Gish sisters. THRILLS GALORE IN NOVIE AT PALACE - in “Racing Heats” Perhaps one-tepth of the dangers encountered in motion picture pro- duction reach and are appreciated by the fans who see the fidished photo- play. No greater example of this truth exists than “Racing Hearts,” a Para- mount picture starring Agnes Ayres, which is due at the Palace theater next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day. Time after time during the filming of the big automobile racing scenes dangerous skids, near-acci- dents took place while the hurtling cars roared around the track. But many of these were entirely out of the sight of the camera eye. One example of a thrill that was actually caught by the camera. and is a guaranteed breath-taker was that in which Miss Ayres, driving her pow- erful automobile,skids around a curve at 76 miles an hour and smashes into baled hay piled at the turn for the protection of spectators. The Keith vaudeville bill will fea~ ture four classy and entertaining acts with John K. Mua, “the musical wiz- ard”; Lyle and Emerson are a com- edy couple who have an original line of new songs and stories; Clifton Lee & Co. will present a variety offering combining class with cleverness; and the Summers Duo will close the bill with a sensational novelty. The Sun- day night program of photoplays will offer two fine feature attractions pre- senting Constance Binney in “First Love,” a wonderful picture of plain home life; and the other feature will Mayo in “Altar Stairs.” The big attraction starting Thurs- day for the last half of the week presents a Peter B.
