A Wife’s Confession Adele Garrison’s New Phase o) REVELATIGNS OF A WIFE Madge Finds Something Familiar About the Tramp. I watched the retreating back of the tramp who had claimed to be Dicky's brother, with a feeling of panic, In his gait as he walked away there was the same elusive memory- haunting quality, which 1 had noticed in his mocking bow.

One day, when Drake Is in a pag* ticularly angry mood, he swings a gate to with a loud clang, startling an old gentleman and a pretty girl who are riding by in an old-fash. foned chalse. The memory of the girl’s autiful face, ralsed in haughty reproof, stays with him. One night Drake slips away from a party at his house and makes his way to Sallortown, ancient rendez- vous of men who follow the sea, where he meets up with fat little— Joe Bunting, sallor. They enter a barroom. “I'll interduce you to Mag Parott,” says Joe. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Here, Mag! Meet my friend Mister Drake,"” Joe Bunting was wheezing; and he was shaking the cool, hard hand of Miss Parrott. Later Drake rambled through the smoky room again, He stood at the bar. After two treats the crowd accepted him. Al- den Drake felt some queer influence at work within him. The smoky room was hazier; the clatter of tongues harsher.

Some- how, he felt amused at his plight If only he knew what time it was. 1f only he had a drink, He stared through a yellow shawl of dust pat- terned sunbeams, out of the dirty window. There was a long jibboom, with jibs furled upon it, spiking out over the street from fhe dock be- yond the high brick wall. A dis- tortion in the window glass focused the light in a squat red circle.

The last two landed upon an unconscious man; and when he pitched head- lond across the couch where Drake ilay, his head struck the iron with a crack. The fall knocked the wind out of Drake; put it also dissipated some of the milsts that fogged his brain. He dragged a leg and arm free, and began to struggle up, He meant to have something to say to that big blond man, The landlord was heavy.

Horrid things, red splotched things whirled before his eyes, He felt his wrist. His wrist watch was undoubtedly gone. Coins jingled in his trousers pockets. He drew forth two copper pennies. Hit Keys were gone, “This is too much of a good thing!" he muttered, and marched through the door. At the threshold he stopped, conscious of his incom plete attire; for a woman's vole came to him from along a passage: not the voice of a woman like Mag Parrot, but the cultured, soft toned voice of a girl. Men's voices could | be heard, too; and among them the hateful voice of Mister Stevens, the voice that had uttered that scorch ing remark. He wanted to inter view Stevens.
