T r——— A Wife’s Confessional Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Hal Meredith Plays Havoc With Katherine's Composure “If you can't tell whether in a stupor or asleep, how do you expect a layman like me to find out?"” she's I smiled as 1 asked the question |ing of her heart from of Katherine but there was real per- | plexity in my voice, Why she, trained nurse, should appeal to me concerning the poseible shamming of sleep on the part of Fanny Powell |the fullest confidenc was something I could not under- atand. “Didn't you ever get 0 problem that you couldn't properly?” she demanded, and at my comprehending nod of assent, broke into agitated speech which surprised me, so allen was it to her usual poised utterances, “I don't know what's the malter with me” she sald vehemently.

The Disturbing Element “No I don't,” she answered quick- ly. “But another performance of the same kind, with perhaps another on top of that, would ertainly retard her recovery. So I'm going to keep her as quiet as possible. And if you'll just cast your eyes over our apparently Sleeping Beauty and give me your candid opinfon of her I'll be extremely grateful. I've got to make up my mind what report to glve Dr. Meredith when he comes and I need help in the process.” It wase the second time during our brief colloquy that she had men- tloned the name of the brilliant alienist who had interested himself in the case of Fanny Powell, and suddenly my bewilderment at her mappeal to me ceased. It was not the personality of her quecr patient, nor yet the problem presented by her apparent amnesia, which was re- sponsible for my little kinswoman's sudden doubt of her own powers. The proximity of the man who, from his own account, had been a close associate of hers in her early hos- pital work, and whose interest in her T.was sure held a distinctly romantic tinge," was the element which had so disturbed her. near a see it “situation Held Dynamite,” I was conscious of a distinct shock by an unpleasant little qualm of worry over my cousin’s wife, Surely it was not possible that her unrest signified any sweryv- husband ed, to make followed who had failed, 1 fear her happy, toward the fascinating figure of Hal Meredith!
