Adele Garrison'~ New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Reception Accorded the Children “Oh Auntie Madge !” Mary Harrison's somber little face lghted at the sight of me, and then her face elouded with instinctive ap- prehension. “Or must 1 say ‘Aunt Margaret'?" she faltered, and for the ond time I felt my throat tighten with pity. 1 remembered only too well the old command by the child’s dead mother, ‘Auntie Madge” WAas a4 name and that the more formal appellation must al- ways be given me The chilling shadow of the mother's sterness was even upon t sensitive child, and 1 looked furtively at Har- riet Braithwaite, to whom the little girl's question had been addressed, wondering if she meant to .arry out her sister's code. By something indefinably tense in Lillian's. atti- tude, although to all outward ap- pearances she was engaged in help- ing the boys with the removal of thelr wraps. I kncw that she too was listening and watching tor this first {ndication o1 whag Harriet Braithwaite’'s scheme of discipline would be. ‘“Not unless you choose, dear,” Mrs. Bralthwaite sald, and there was & tender, mothering note in her rich voice which I never had heard in my stately sister-in-law’'s speech before. “Marion calls her Auntie Madge, and I suppose you would Itke to do the same thing, is that it?"” Harriet Realizes the Truth “No—o00,” Mary said honestly, #uees it's because ‘Margaiet’ seems #0 old and wsober for her. Madge sounds voung and langhing. It's like & nice wong.” T ecaught the wift pain that flashed into Harriet Braithwaite's eyes, and keenly regretted the child’s innocent but wumlucky speech. For T knew that she had touch a sore spot in her aunt’'s heart. For never, Bo matter how thard she tried, would Harriet Braithwaite be abie to be a young, comradely mother these ohildren whom T eould see she already hai mentally adopted. Her age, her reraparament, her rigid relf-training of jears all prohibited that. Tender, loving, wise—a rock n any kind of trouble--all these she would be, but the laughter and romping, so dear to childish hearts, would never be shared by her. I tollowed Lilllan’s glance to the tall figure of my brother-in-law, and realized, as I think did Harriet also, that the children would never want for a playfellow as long as the big Surgeon had strength enough to 1ft his hand or his head in a game He already had swung littie llod- erick to his should-r, where the ehfld sat in ueh perfeet content that only my common sense kept me from maudlin horror that his dead parents shoi:d be forgotten so soon, But I 2ad to remind myself sharply, that Willlam Harrison, thot he had loved his children and had done ghe best he could for them them in his travel. ing husiness 'ife and hat his going was, therefore ittle 1nore to them t the death of any other acqgmxin- tance “Well !
