HUSBAND’S LOVE Adele Garrison’~ New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Dr. Braithwaite Brought News of the Operation “We'd love to have you come home with us,” 1 ventured, when Alfred, Leila, Dicky and 1 had reached the street door of the hospital where lit- tle Mrs. Durkee awaited the mor- row's ordeal of a surgical operation. “I know you would,” Alfred re- turned, “but we must be as close to the hospital as we can get for #he next day or two. We have rooms al- ready engaged at that little hotel on the corner.” “Whither 1 shall soon descend upon you with that bag of Leila's I left at the apartment,” Dicky inter- posed. *“Come, Madge, let's beat it.” A Restless Night “Suppose YOU beat suggested, “and leave us until you get it.” ‘As a hostage, e¢h?” Dicky jaughed. *“Well, I suppose my repu- tation DOES justify such a slam. Don't worry, Madge, I'll redeem you within the half hour.” He was as good as his word. In- ieed it was five minutes less than the time named when he appeared at the door of the tiny suite—siting room, bedroom and bath—which Alfred had secured. We remained but a minute or two afterward, only waiting to assert to Alfred’s promise that we meet them at the hospital carly the next morning. That poor gink looks as if he had « ticket to the heated regions, with no return check,” Dicky commented, we walted on the corner for a “It’s selfish, but I certainly I'm not in his shoes.

But I made him no reply save a {remulous smile. I could not have spoken without tears, for my nerves, keyed up for hours, were perilously near snapping, and 1 was glad indeed that Dicky was too tired—or too ab- sorbed in his thoughts—either to talk or to notice my nervousness, Dieky tumbled into bed directly after he reached the apartment, and was asleep in five minutes, But it was after midnight before 1 lost myself in slumber, and the rest of the night was a succession of fitful dozes, shot through with fantastic, contorted ircams. Unrefreshed, head and jerky her word com with & throbbing nerves, 1 awakened varly, and after preparing a break- fast, which 1 could only pretend to eat in order to deceive Dicky, I went with him to the hospital. we reached there earlier than the hour Alfred had named, in order that Leila might not be left to herself in the reception room even for a few minutes. She came in with her hus. hand a few minutes later, and the re- el upon Alfred's face royally re- warded us for the effort. “You. people are the sait of the varth,” ‘he said frevently, = I won't be long, Sweetheart,” he turned to leila. *“You know they're only go- ing to let me stay a few minutes.” “Never mind me, dear,” she an- swered with a brave attempt to hide the trembling of her lips. "1 shall be all right, now that Madge is here.” Waiting For the News Dicky walked with Alfred as far a8 the elevator, and then came back to us for the tense quarter of an hour which elapsed before Alfred, pallid, visibly shaken, but holding himself in | an iron grip, entered the reeeption room. “Are they- ulotsly. “They have just taken her into the operating room,” he answered quictly. “Did Dr. Braithwaite say how Dicky aqueried @ doesn’t know, but it will nearly an hour, at best, before can tell us anything—unless——" Dieky did not permit him to finish that sentence. “Well, then,” he said, “there isn't the slightest use of all of us sitting " Leila began trem- be they Purposely | B NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SAT around here.
