Ever since the departure of his eousins, the Harrison children, Junior has mourned them, and es- pecially has he missed Roderick, the youngest of the four. Per- #istently he has demanded “another little boy.” “Wouldn't a big girl do?” It was Mollle Fawcett's lilting voics that asked the question, and the next second she had gone down on her knees beside Junior, who, clinging to my skirts after 1 had put him down, looked at her with the curious appralsement of child- hood. . “I can play just as well as a lit- tle boy,” she coaxed, “and besides, T know lots of stories little boys don't know.” ‘“You're So Pretty!” That he was one of those rare women whose understanding of the ehlld mind is so innate and thor- MY HUSBAND Adeie Garrieen's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The door behind him lnr"’ar#d!

Anyway, I've got- gen & nice warm feeling as though the blood had welled up from my heart to my brain a little faster than 4t has ever done in my heart before, ‘Thie doesn't sound like the old sensible Bee, does it? Well, I'm not the old sensible Bee. I'm just & blisstully happy woman who married the man she loves devotedly and found in him all the thoughtful- pess and love she had expected, Today I'm thinking of all the oth- @r blissful brides, and hoping they are all as happy as I am. Yet, like all lovers, Dick and I have told each other many times our mar- riage that no one in all the world could ever have been as we are. 1 was awfully sorry you could not be at my wedding.

FABLES, Many mothers blame teething for many of the aliments attacking their young children.

And of course Mr. and Mrs, Mun- | gle knew the Raggedys were right, s0 they kissed them good-bye and watched the Raggedys as, arm in arm, they ran down the path farther into the deep, deep woods filled with fairies 'n e ything.

At the point of & gun the Wreek fakeas five gallons from @ passing car, Later Charlie MeSween, foreman of a ranch aleng the route, hides the Wreck's car, takes off a wheel, and forces Bally to act as ranch cook, Then they discover that Mr, Underwood, the ewner of the raneh, was in the car which they held up. Sheriff Rob Wells, Rally's fance, | unwittingly searehing the country- elde for the “bandits” who held up Underwoed, After several failures Sally and the Wreeck finally suceeed in making an escape in their own car, Now they come to & rutty trail whieh turns to the left, Now Go on With the Story “Shall we try it?" she yawned, “Get in." He turned the flivver at a sharp angle and they left the main road, Teh new route began climbing & rise immediately, then dipped into a guleh, The Wreck found himself forced to drive with care, for there weer sharp turns every few yards, “There are lots of thess old roads in this part of the country,” com- mented Sally, “Most of them lead to mines that never panned out, After some ten minutes of slow, but thrilling travel, she suggested a halt, The Wreck stopped the car. The abrupt silencing of the motor left them in a stiliness that was fairly startling. The place was dark, too, for there was a heavy growth of trees all about them and the spread- ing light in the eastern sky did not reach them. As they sat for a min- ute trying to get the feel of their environment, Sally’s hand crept over and sought the Wreck's arm She was ont nervous, exactly, but the touch of him reassured her, Then her fingers clutched him with sudden fierceness, and she could feel his muscles tense under the grip. ‘Did you hear that?” she whis- pered. He had heard, Tt was the soft neigh of a horse. She sprang to her feet, steadying herself against his shoulder, and her eyes hegan searching in the gloom. An instant later she bent her head. “There's a little fire oft through |the trees—to the right,”” she said, in a low voice. We have run into somebody’s camp.” “Let's go,” sald the Wreck. He was climbing out to crank the motor, when she clutched him |again. “Wait! T can hear somebody | eoming., You'll never be able to turn around in this plac | Me, too, could hear footsteps oft in the bru Reaching forward to the dash, he switched oft the lights. “Turn them on" commanded Sal- |1y. ““We're caught anyhow, and T'm not going to be pounced on in the dark."” ¥ He turned the lights on again, and they waited, The footsteps were cautious, but they were still approaching. “Put the gun away,” she whis. pered, as she saw him fumbling with it. *Tt's not loaded and you'll only get us into trouble. You can't run that kind of a bluft on Bob Wells, anyhow.” “Who?" ‘Who else? Why, it's almost tain, Oh, of all the luck! We've run plumb into him! You let me do the talking, Henry Willlams.” The footsteps were nearer, CHAPTER XIX Captured Just as Sally's fingers were dig- ging Into his arm until he was ready to growl a protest, a volce came from the bushes beside the car: “You better get ‘em right up in the air—quick.” Sally raised her hands promptly, and the Wreck followed suit, after she commanded him, Into the back glare of the head- lights stepped a man who carried a rifle that looked ready for work. “One of 'em’'s a woman,” he called, evidently addressing some- body behind him, There was no answer from the rear. It seemed that the matter of | conversation had been left wholly in his hands. “We'll take the pedigree” said the man with the rifie, “Any rela- tion to the sherift?” “Plenty of relation,” said Sally, promptly. “We want to see him.” There was a chuckle by way of ‘answflr. 5 “Sure you're lookin' for the sherift?” he inquired. “T kind of | figure he's asleep and don't want to be disturbed.” | “You lead me to Bob Wells," said | Sally. “I'm going to step right out of this car, and if you start any- | thing yith that gun you'll wish you'd never been born,” | The Wreck followed her, and they | stood beside the flivver, with a rifie | muzzle not more than a yard dis- tant from them, else,” declared Rally, firmly. “Are you speakin’ serious?" “I certainly am. And T'd advise you not to argue about it.” He muttered something that she ecould not hear, yet it conveyed the idea that his mind was in doubt. The Wreck remained passive during the colloquy He did not need | Rally's caution. Whatever might be required of him, he feit that the |time was not yet. Besides, he was sure that Sally had the right idea. There was no need for dealing with subordinates when Bob Wells was {on the ground. He was quite will- [ing to face the sheriff. “Lead me to the sheriff,” eald Bally. There was a suppressed laugh from the figure that held the rifie. “I'll lead you,” he said. *“Come to think of it, 1 figure you'd better fead yourselves. You just head for that camp-fire and T'll keep walking behind you. And don't forget I'm carrying a gun.

He was a large man and his most conspicuous feature was a broken nose, $ally and the Wreck came to learn that his companions called him Nosey., “Where is the sheriff?"’ demand- ed Sally, but this time she did not say it with any confidence. A sud- den misgiving had assailed her. “We ain’t figurin’ to meet up with the sheriff today,” remarked Nosey. “This is not his camp, then?"” “Noj you might say it isn't.
