A Wife's Confessional Adcle Garrisau's New PPhase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Hugh and Madge Exchange Confldences That Hugh Grantland, while much jmproved, had not yet come back to the highly efiiclent fmperturbable mechanism which was his, 1 clearly saw. He was still shaken mentally and ewmotionally and I knew that I must be wary in dealing with him. Therefore, In an- swer to hls exclamation ,“And you came to share my daoger!” I r turned a casual, “Rather to warn you of it, and ask you Lo come back 10 the rectory. “But ] cannot claimed, “not yet, old home fir do that" and | he ex. | I must go to my | thing had been needed to strength- |<-n my determination to guard this |stanchest of friends from the bi- |zarre dangers which threatened him, It was this nnintentional reference of his to thai past obligation. “Please!” he sald tremulously. | “Don You have always exaggers ated that service.

He must have been planning this move during the two days since then when we had thought him resting. My memory went back over tho things which his stepmother had sald, and which the man before mo must have heard, and suddenly my cheeks flamed scarlet, “They been in love with each other for vears." “He has made a will lcaving her every cent of his fortune” “Her husband is in New York City “Afrald she has joined Hugh so where.” “He wrote her a wild, eoherent letter.” The words clay in my ears like discordant bells, ar T could neither find words to dis- suade him from his npurpose nor strength to meet his eves, which 1 knew were watching me. Then his hand fell upen shoulder ever so gently, and volce, deep, resonant, more like his old tones than I had yet heard, said pleadingly: “Surely you know that my step- mother was deliberately falsifying when she spoke of runior joining your name and mine.

She had dined weil on birch buds before she had div- d into the snow to escape Terror the Goshawk. A full stomach makes one slecpy. You know how it is. So Mrs. Grouse was quite satisfied to remain right where she was and make the most of a good oppor- tunity. “Terror will hang around awhi| on the chance that T will come out, muttered Mrs. Grouse as she shook out her feathers. “But he hasn't the | “This i great!” cried Peter happily. “This crust s just the thing for me!” preads as has been indicated.

There isn't anything to worry about.” So Mrs. Grouse nodded and dozed and finally went sound asleep. She slept as she always does, ready to |awaken at the least hint of dan- to open up imperfectly drained ca- [ger. She slept with one eye open, as |gave no thought the saying is, which doesn't mean |that an eye really was open, but she slept very lightly. But noth- ing disturbed her and she slept until it was so late that the Black Sha- |dows had begun to creep all through the Green Forest.

After all, what |was the use of moving when she {was 8o comfortable? “There fsn't 'sny use,” said she. “I'll just spend the night here.” So she closed her |eyes again. Now ft wasn't very long after !Mrs. Grouse had plunged into the snow that there was a change in the weather, A fine rain began falling (and presently it began to freeze a soon as it touched the snow. It kept this up until long after the Black Shadows had stolen all through the Green Forest. When the rain did stop falling and the clouds were |blown away by rough Brother |North Wind, so that the stars could {look down and see the Great World |all in white, Jack Frost went all {about making an icy crust and cov- cring the trees with fce. Pcter Rabbit and Jumper the Hare knew just what was going on Peter was dry and comfortable in a hollow log and he was wise enough to remain dry and comfortable. But he knew what was happening and he rejoiced. You see, Peter was very hungry. The soft snow had made something of a prisoner of him be- cause he hadn't dared to try to get about in it. He knew that should one of his enemies, and he has many, happen along he wouldn't have any chance at ail in that soft snow. But the moment the crust began ' to form Peter began to get impa- tient. As long as that fine rain fell he would keep out of it. How he did4 wish it would stop falling. It wouldn't take much of a crust to bear him, and he did so want to go | get something to eat. It seemed as it he could think of nothing but his stomach. 8o when the first star peeped through a break in the |clouds it looked down on Peter [Rubbi( leaving that hollow log, lip- perty-lipperty-lip. | “This is great!" cried Peter hap- pily. “This crust is just the thing for me!" Not once d4id he think of Mrs. Grouse down under it. It wasn't |great for her. It was an unseen dan- ger, which was perhaps the very greatest danger of the many dan- gers Mrs. Grouse knows so well. |And all the time without dreaming |ot it Mrs. Grouss slept in what she had thought before falling asleep to be perfect safety. Jumper the Hare left his shelter under the hemlock boughs and he too rejoiced in that crust. He felt (like skipping and jumping. And he to Mrs. Grousa.

Barbara walked through the shopping dis- trict, glancing now and then at dls- play windows, turning corners with- out heed, running into passers-by. Around and around she went, en- eircling the same blocks many 'times. She entered a department 'store and walked throngh the ground floor, looked at nothing. { At last it was growing dark and she turned her steps toward home. The folded copy of the Telegraph was still under her arm. In Church street Barbara met several of her neighbors, the women m the men striding along |ages and newspapers arms. Now and then a toddler met one of them and erawled up his legs in- |to his arms, with shrill crles of l“Daady.” Near Barbara's apartment house, {Tommy and his kiddy car blocked the sidewalk. His blond head was ber.. over the refractory wheel and . he was tugging at it with strainings of his chubby arms and legs. As Barbara approached, he looked up at her. “Do you know anything about kiddy cars?” he asked, hix brows wrinkled. “This one ain't no good.' * Barbara tried to smile. sald, “T don't.” The boy was staring at her very her head, with pack- under their “No,"” she You look just like my picture of Alice in Wonderland when the duchess sald, “Chop off her head!" |Do you know about Alice?” Barbara shook her head and went {on up the steps. Inside the apart- ment, she laid the folded news- paper on the table and went into her bedroom. She came out, wrapped in a house |and took up the Telegraph. Then she seated herself in an armchair near the window and turned to the hospital column. The paragraphs stood out as though it were printed in bold italic, against the paler type on either side. “Reynolds—Bruce and Violet- ta, & son, born Monday at N. B. General Hospital.” Her eyes ran over the two lines of print again and again. “Bruce, she repeated under her breath, son.” The paper dropped from her hands and she turned to the window The street was almost dark, excep! for long streaks of western ligh! |that fell between the bulldings. The kiddy car lay abandened on the sidewalk. A woman came out of a door across the street and called “James Allen, James Allen!” An urchin bounded around the corner of the house and up the steps.
