\ imagine for one fraction of a second [MY HUSBAND'S LOVE Adele Garrisdn'~ New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Curious “Last Word" Katherine Gave Madge. “Well!" my mother-in-law ex claimed when with frequent excited interruptions and questions from her, I had finished my story of the hap penings across the road. ‘I can see where we have that family on our hands for a while.” “Let me see,” she continued spec- ulatively. “We have more potatoes and cabbages and other vegetables than we can possibly use before Spring, and its no use trying to sell them out here. And there's more milk than the pigs need, and the hens are laying fine now. We can send them milk and eggs and vege- tables, and perhaps a flitch or two of that pork Jim put down last Fall But it will take some money be- sides. I hope you thought of that when you offered to take the care of them on your shoulders,” Madge is Tackful. Her tone held the old captious note, and I realized that Ilike a spofled child temporarily on its best behavior, my mother-in-law had been “as good as she could be” for just about as long as &he could stand it. That she was tired and exceed- ingly nervous with the strain of preparing for the impending arrival of her daughter and her distinguished gon-in-law, 1 also knew, and hastened to proffer the Scriptural ‘“soft an- “I domt expect to give them but & very little for their immediate ne- cessities,” 1 said placatingly. “To- morrow, if the father has not heen released on bond, which appears en- tirely probable, I shall report their case to the Red Cross local, which will investigate, and if relief is nec- essary, will see that town funds pro- vide for them. But I am sure the | eggs and milk will be welcome, any- way, with so many little children.” “I'm glad you had that much sense, anyway,” she answered in a more mollified tone, ignoring the latter part of my little speech. “But I wish I'd gone over myself . However, I suppose you did the best thing you knew how. Do you want anything more of me tonight?” “Why, no thank you Mother!" I an- ewered hastily, fervently hoping that she would not detect the smile which 1 was heroically presszing back from my lips. o “Then I'l go to hed,” she an- gwered rising. “I'm tired to death You two would better go to bed, also, instead of chattering Rere half the night, a§ vou're planning to do, ‘We've all got a hard day in front of us tomorrow."” “You wrong us Mother Graham," Katherine =aid lightly. “If Madge aftempts to talk longer than five min- | utes, 1 shall stalk out and leave her epouting to the empty air.” _ “That's No Empty Threat.” "Humph! 1 know both of you as well as if I'd jointed you and pht to- gether,” my mother-in-law responded, | “You can’t fool me! But I warn you, I shall call you hoth at six, no matter what time you go to bed."” “And that's no empty threat,” Kathehrine groaned when my moth- er-in-law finally had taken her depar- ture and I had closed the door be- hind her. “She means exactly what she says. Six o'clock! Ugh! That's my daily diet. 1 thought I'd be offen it for a day or two.” “And sogvou shall!” I said, indig- nantly. “You are under no obligation to rise at that hour just because she wishes you to.” “No-0?" she drawled. "“Do you that with the lady in her present frame of mind toward me, I shall do anything to add to her fancied griev- ance? Nay, nay little one, I never yet have stirred up the circus ani- mals at feeding time, and 1 don't intend to begin now.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, nevertheless, However, 1 suppose there's nothing elge to be done, so I fancy we'd bétter postpone our talk.” “Not on my account,” Katherine said stoutly, but I knew that her fatigue, was greater than she gould admit, and I was inexorable in bund- ling her off to her room, waiting only to reiterate my fears for Junior and to ask her opinion concerning him. “There's no use in worrying,” she said non-committally, “What can either of us do now? But-—leave your door open to-night. I'm going to. Good night.” She went down the hall to her own room, while 1 battled with the im- puise tq, take her by the shoulders and shake the meaning of her in- junction from her. That she deemed it necessary for me to be. within hearing of any noise in my mother- in-law's room wus clearly patent, for Katherine is not the woman to alarm any one unnecessarily. But why? 1 lay awake for a long time, wor- rving over the warning she had given me, That she had meant me to sleep light, T was sure, and when I finally did deze it was with the sub consciousness which a nurse em- ploys heside a sick bed.

Spitter and Cputun Health officiala everywhere in our colintry should have the authority to see that laws are strictly enforced against the*spiiter in publie.

He spits at any and all times just when and where the fancy takes him, - To expectorate in public places is a dangerous habit for this reason: The sputum which may or may not contain discase germs, dries and tho residue is distributed by the wind.

First see that you ore not an offender in this disregard of public health. Second, make every effort to have the laws pertaining to such offenders strictly enforced and kept in active working order all the time. You might throw a brick at every spitter if you had the time and the bricks. Tuberculosis, diphtheria and scarlet fever are some of the disease germs distributed in the sputum.
