A Wife’s Confessional Adele Garrison's M=~ Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Evidence That Proved Marion's es Saw Clearly At Marion's startled scream I lowed her glance and her shaking, pointing hand to the window, where she had gasped that she face looking in. Dut there was ab- solutely nothing to be seen, and my suddenly accelerated pulse slowed down, “There aid » seen a is nott soothir 12 there, dear,” T “You must have the tree outside.” Madge! Please voice was a bit for that first scream, Marion was prov- true daughter of her the sha of on, helleve tremulous, childi ing herselt a poised mother, “It was a real face that I saw with eyes that moved. Some was watching us, T am sure, and when I turned on the light he got scared and jumped away.” 1 noted her use of the pronoun. “Do you think the face was that of a man?” I asked quietly, for T thought that the quickest way to cure her of the delusion was to pre- tend to take her assertions seriousiy. “I don't know,” shes aid slowly, plainly puzzled. “I said ‘he,’ be- cause—I guess—it looked a little more like a man. But it might h: been a woman. It was such a queer face, I can't think where I have seen one like it.” “Suppose we look outside,” T sald #till in the firm belief that Marion's vivid imagination for her queer vision. She stared at me with wefe suddenly very mother's, Auntie Her save me one ave that like her “I think we ought to send vaim*‘ away first,” she said soberly. For a second I felt ahsurdly guilty | s if I had heen convicted of neglect of my small son. Ever since the ewful time following the day when Grace Draper smuggled our baby away from us, he has been zealously —and foolishly—guarded. I could see that Marion thought I was most remiss in pursuing any investigation while Junior was in the room, and my heart went out to Lillian's daughter not only for her thought- fulness but for her bravery—there had been no question of her going away. “Richard’s Mending' Notwithstanding my absolute cer- tainty that she was mistaken about the face at the window, tRe mere suggestion of danger to Junior hastened my movements and I hustled my little lad out of my room | and into his grandmother's, taking Marion with me, and whispering a command to the little girl to stay with him. The look she gave me held rebellious pleading, but she was too well disciplined to make any verbal protest. Purposely T made my voice querulous as I addressed my mother-in-law “Mother. will you keep Junior in your room for awhile until I get my room picked up? I want te put his train away, and things in order before T tackle the rest of Dicky's mending."” She was surrounded wWith dresses SHlioTangle s Letter from Teslie Prescott to Ruth Burke, Continued, Dad raised his eyelids slowly y to open, a as ook of my nd hz came as he saw inother looking pitifu griet-etricken, coming door.

From his scrutiny of ‘the livid face and contorted muscles of Ray- nor Doctor Saxton at last lifted a puzzled countenance to the group of anxious spectators. “There are strange conditions here,” he sald, “most pecullar, in- explicable conditions, Had Douglas Raynor any enemies?"” He glanced arofind the room, and as no one else spoke, Kzra Goddard said: “In view of the fact that someone shot and killed him, I think we may logically assume that he had.” The tinge of irony was slight, but quite enough to annoy the doctor. “Not at all, sir, 1t is perfectly possible that the shooting might have been an accident, or—a sul- cide.” “Oh, was it?” Do you think that?"” Nan spoke rapldly, in jerky accents, as if surprised but not displeased at this suggestion, “I can't say yet, Mrs. Raynor. On the face of it, it looks as if he had been shot down by the hand of an- other, but until after a more de- rafled examination, ‘T prefer not to !give a definite opinion.
