Y HUSBAND’S LOVE i Adele Garrison'~ New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE when 1 saw the trooper noseying around near me. I never mix up with things I don't understand, and besides, if that Mr. Underwood had a car, they were out of reach by that time."” “I am very glad you were so thoughtful,” I returned. “Is Mr, Un- derwood's overcoat still out there— the one he put under you?" “I wanted to ask you about that, Ma'am,” he returned. “You see, I didn't want Katie to see that coat— she's the best girl in the world, aKtie is,"” he interrupted himself loyally, “but sometimes, when she gets ex- cited she lets things slip that ought to be kept, so I didn't say nothing about it. And theén we found the little boy, and since then everything's been up- set, so 1 couldn’t go back. But I don't thing we ought to leave it lying there. Somebody might stumble on it, and wonder."” “Put some good strong pd})er and twine in your pocket and slip out there as son as you can” I said. “Don't use the flashlight any more than you have to, but put the coat into as small a bundle as possible be- fore you bring it back to the house. Give it to me without anyone seeing you do it, as soon as you can—and forget you ever saw it.” “I'll hurry out there right away,” he said, "and, I'll tell the troopers when they come that I tackled the bootlegger, but he got away from me. That's wind of humiliatin’ when it took the big man to tie me up, but | they won't know the tying-up part. and if T hadn’t stayed on top of that man, he could have got away easy. | “But, Ma'am,” his jaw dropped, “Katie knows I was tied up. How you goin’ to manage about her?"” The Only Problem Jim Felt He Couldn't Solve It was, I think, a full minute after Jim had placed in my hand the scarab scarfpin which I recognized as Harry Cnderwood's, before I ralsed my eyes from a tense, fascirated scrutiny of the quaint bauble to meet lim's eyes fixed upon me with a lively but re- spectful curiosity. The sight of the trinket had zrought a vivid memory flash of the first time I had seen it, whtn Harry Underwood had twisted it from his tie and given it to me with the theatri- | eal injunction to send it to him if T should “get into a jam with a gang you dont know." The ‘“Jam” had come sooner than % anticipated. I had been taken from my car by men under the leadership of, Grace Draper and removed to the lopely country estate of the myster- fous man who had headed the plot | against the government so signally folléd by the efforts of my father, Lil- Man Underwood and Allen Drake. Madge 1s Puzzled During my imprisonment there I had dispatched the pin to Harry Un- derwood, masquerading among the plétters as the “Big Tangerine,” and he had saved me from death just be- fore the tragic and melodramatic capture of the plotters was consum- mated. I had noted the pin in his scarf in the most tense moments, when I had regained consciousness after that terrific scene, and he - had bidden Dicky and me a theatrical farewell. I recognized the touch of theatrical- #8m which is never absent from him, in again dispatching tht pin to me in 80 flamboyant a fashion. ‘Whatever his connection with the fugitive bootlegger might be, and my mind ran the gamut of a dozen sur- | mises, sane and otherwise, there could be no possible reason for his permit- ting Jim to recognize him, when he easily could have managed other- wire, or for sending the scarab scarf- | pin to me. He must have yielded in- voluntarily, and against his common sense, to the loce for the dramatic | gy B o Tl atrcnwnit | e Aening, kime ot i acteristics and dispatched the bigarre | message to me. That it was a message, 1 did not doubt, but I had neither leisure nor inclination to puzzie my brain over it. There was but one thing to do now, and I did it, promptly. “Jim,” I asked quietly, ‘“you say you didn’t see the face of the man who pinned this inside your coat. Did you recognize lais voice, or his figure?” “He Was Mr. Underwood” “T—I couldn't swear to him, Ma'am,” he caid, while I reflected that swearing to Harry Undérwood's fdent- | ity was the last thing in the world I should require of Jim, “but—he was an awful lot like Mrs. Underwood's hueband, you know, Ma'am, the man who used to come to 9Marvin when | you folks first lived there.” “He was Mr. Underwood, Jim,” T| eaid slowly. “This is a scarfpin of | his which I have seen often, I do not know why he wag helping the boot- legger to escape—perhaps he can ex- plain later. But—for many reasons— I think you would better say nothing about him when the troopers come.” “I already figured that out, Mis’ Greham,” Jim said with a faint touch of reproach in his manner. ‘“That's the reason I didn't make even the little noise I could through the gag Gossip’s Corner Jeweled Clasps Jeweled clasps in oriental colorings Lace on Black Valenciennes lace is used as trim. | ming on many navy blué and black gowns for fall wear.

One French designer, Lanvin, believes in creating frocks that are youthful, always picturesque and charming. For the slim figure there {s the slightly bouffant style of dress, which is ruffled and flounced this season. The color and the material of which it is made will do much toward as- suring a youthful appearance, For the more mature figure there i{s the long bodice walst with the tiered skirt. The tlers edged with ribbon or lace will make it the more attractive. Much depends on the trimming—make it as light as pos- sible if you would carry out its youth- ful lines. you have put into jars. Being gummed, they are easily attached. Colored Fabrics ‘When washing and rinsing colored fabrics, add a tablespoon of epsom galts to each gallon of water and they will not fade or run. Ice Cream When ice cream refuses to come out of the mold, pour a little cold water over the outside of the can. It will melt it sufficiently to loosen the cream from the mold, but not enough to spoil the shape. Ant Remover. Sprinkle oil of pennyroyal about the places that are infested with ants.

A dover beater or a churn beater can not whip the amount of air into them necessary to make a perfect meringue economical- y. One egg well beaten will “go* farther than three half beaten. And the eggs MUST be fresh, The temperature of the whites has little effect on their beating proper- ties, but the whites must be un- clouded. A tiny bit of the yolk pre. vents them from beating well. If when breaking the egg and separating the whites from the yolk the yolk is broken and some does penetrate the white this must be removed. To do this dampen a clean soft cloth and dip into the yolk. Do this until every trace of yolk is removed. The yolk clings to the cloth. The beating of an egg is a delight- ful example of ‘‘physical change" without ‘“‘chemical change,” Chemi- cal change of course takes place as soon as sugar is added, but the action of air on the -albumen causes no “chemical change.” Simple Meringue This is used fqr pie and pudding frostings. !

Who knows? It is enough to know that we have them with us. Also that it is your duty to aid the community in which you live and the public health boards in every possible way to stamp cut all agencies which carry disease and death. Flies, mosquitoes, ticks, lice, fleas and bed bugs are known to physi- cians as disease carriers. Their death toll every year is enormous. Mos- quitoes caused the death of nearly five thousand people in the United States in 1921, which was nearly one- half as many as died from typhoid fever. Dread Death Dealers The malaria-bearing mosquito is like a thief in the night. He will enter your house to bite and take your life if he is loaded right. More working days are lost as a result of this bite than from any other cause. Abolish the breeding places of these pests- by seeking out wiggle-tails, the second stage in the life of the mos- quito, where they may be found in shalow water, ditches and swamps, The yellow fever mosquito will breed in water barrels and in old tin cans and pails that are partly filled with water. The house fly is accused of being the carrying agent of 30 distinct dis- ecases and parasitic organisms. The chief of these are typhoid, diarrhea, enterites and tuberculosis. Swat the fly is all right as far as it goes, but to abolish all breeding places is better. Let us pass sentence of death on the whole fly family. Rats, and fleas from rats; dogs and cats, and fleas from them, are dis- ease carriers. Cancer and heart dis- ease are about the only two leading dizeases that do not show a marked decrease during the past few years in the United States. Cancer noy leads in the diseases which are most fatal to human beings. A recent news item credits Dr. Bazvim, a prominent French scientist, with the statement that fleas from dogs and cats carry cancér garms to those with whom they come in contact. Old rags and clothes from disease- infected districts, winds and dust, drinking water, impure milk, supe sition and even the modern autom bile have their part as disease-carry- ing agents. Do Your Part Why a nation-wide or world-wide campaign of death to rats is not in- augurated i§ beyond understanding. They are an expensive luxury. They cost up $200,000,000 a year, or two dollars per person in the United States. Rats carry typhus, bubonic plague and other diseases. ‘Why not offer a prize of $100,000 for someone who will tell us how to get rid of them? If a modern Pied Piper could only charm titm away this amount would be a mere trifie to pay. Many different problems of disease carriers have been met and solved by | cittes in our own country and greater ones are yet to come. Ticonomic and social conditions demand the extermi- nation of all these pests. Do your part. Denies German Govt. Is To Abandon Paper Money By The Aseociated Prees Berlin, Aug. 8.—Dr. Johannes Beck- er, minister of economics, is reported by the Vossische Zeitung as saying that the government does not intend to abandon paper mark currency, as was rumored yesterday, Dr. Becker added that the goveérnment had re- solved to do everything possible to gupport the mark and that it will not |* cancel measures already taken to\\'ard this end.
