A Wife’s Confessional Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Fanny Powell Rovels in Diabolic Revenge 8o Fanny Powell had been sham- ming after all! This was the thought which flashed first Into my dazed brain as 1 was roughly roused from my ex-| hausted aleep by the violent pres. sure of something hard against my mouth, and saw her face above me. The subconscious impull to scream of course had antedated the thought, but when I opened my lips some hard object covered with cloth was jammed into my mouth, brulsing my lips and tong and turning my terrified shriek into an innocuous little pipe whieh could not have been audi beyond the closed door. That 1 was in deadly danger, I belleved, from the experience 1 had had of the girl's exhibitions of sav age dlslike of me, upon the occa- sions when she had been roused from her apparent aphasia. W the knowledge that a second eelzed might mean the difference between my Jite and death, I gathered my ecattered faculties together and fo- cused them upon the one point of outwitting the half-crazed woman. Her malevolent eyes were glaring down at me and her fingers, awk- ward from inexperience, were twisting at the protruding ends of the cloth thrust Into my mouth. I am strong and my muscles are supple. Could I but manage to enatch at her armas as ehe knelt above me! With a swift sudden movement I attempted to raise my arms, and had it not been for the gag I would have cried out sharp- ly at the viclous twisting of a cord into my wrists which followed. ¥anny Powell laughed triumphant- ly at the squeaking sSound away back in my throat which was all that resulted from my reaction to the paln of my lacerated wrists. Katherine and Madge Trapped “Thought you'd grab me, didn't you?” she taunted, “Thought I was such a fool that I wouldn't think first of fixing your hands so that; you couldn't interfere with this neat | little job I'm doing here. It I do say it myself, T did a pretty good trick with your hands. I fixed two alop nooses and fastened the ends tight to the sdes of your bed. Then I slipped the nooses niighty careful over your wrists, though the way you were sleeping 1 didn't need to be so careful. The rest was up to you, The minute you moved your hands, the nooses tightened until they bt in. And I'm glad they did, you baby-faced, conceited vamp, you," One fear faded as I llstened to her tirade. Despite the venom in her voice and eyes, the girl was not Ingane. And no one but a maniac would risk murder just because of personal aversion, My life was safe, I was sure, but as I thought of the probability of her escape, bearing with her the knowledge and the evidence which might clear Hugh Grantland’s name of the cloud hov- | ering over 1t, my desperate anxiety was not lessened materially by the Ufting of the fear that the girl might mean to kill me, “Turn your head,” she command- ed crisply, “to the left. You'd bet- ter,” as I made no move to obey her, “for my fingers are just itching to slap your deceitful face. Besides, you're only delaying yourself as well as me. You can't do a thing until I get away, you know, and for your information I'll tell you that every bedroom door in the house is locked from the outside, and that precious nurse of mine has another little tongue stopper like this in her mouth, §o you needn’t delay be- cause you think there's any help coming. Turn your head and be quick ahout it.” 5 T obeyed her with despalr at my own futility creeping over me, even wliile I racked my poor brain for some device to delay her. I found none, however, and it was with hopeless eyes that T watehed her. After securely, §{ awkwardly, tying the gag at the back of my head, she went to the closet where lay the bag which had been fastened to her wrist when Lilllan brought her to the farmhouse, ‘We had set our trap to prove that she was feign. ing asphasia, and instead Kutherine and I were finely trapped ourselves.
