My Marriage Problems Adele Garrison's New Phase of “Revelations of a Wife” (Copyrtgh* 1922) YY hat Time Boy re and Bill Arranged at Madge's Bequest. 'I he note of dread in Claire Foster’s voice as she pronounced Herbert Pettit's name lingered with me un comfortably during my rapid walk to the mountain station, which, almost hidden by evergreen trees, was, as Mrs. Barker had said, but a short dis tance from her house. Was this f‘-ar perhaps the reason, back of Claire Foster's steady refusal to >ee anyone before my arrival at tlie farmhouse? Had she, knowing his moods and tenses as few’ others i onld. anticipated the spectacular dash I >r. Pettit was even now making to the scene of her escapade? Looking back over the hours since in> arrival at the Barker house. I read a new meaning into the relief which the girl had shown at my at til tide toward her. She had been deathly afraid that Herbert Pettit would arrive upon the scene, wild with Jealous nnger. and irresponsibly ready for any sort of violent action And she had faced such a possibility alone, with every woman's voice in .the place gossiping about her! I had a sudden vision of what an ordeal such suspense must have been to the sensitive girl, and in the sympathy which swept me there was no hint of censure, although there was no getting around the truth that lier own reckless folly was responsible for her predicament. "Are .You Mr. Boyce?" The knowledge of her terror lent spied to my feet, and I was almost running when I came to the little station. 1 halted outside the door for n second or two in order to get breath and tuck my blown hair under my list. Then I pushed open the door and entered the station, almost knock ing over a stout, ruddy-faced, youngish man in a railroad uniform, who was coming out. "Oh. pardon me!" I gasped. “I didn't see you. Are you Mr. Tim Boyce?" "That's my name," t lie man replied with a genial smile which I im agined must lie a distinct asset to him if It affected other patrons of i lie road as favorably as it did me. “And I'm the one at fault. I should have been watching that door. What can I do for you?" "You can tell me what other rail load or branch of this road goes to New York within say 50 miles of this." I answered promptly.. His reply was also without hesita- ; lion. "You can get the A. V. & YV. at Nantucket; 25 miles southeast of here, j What train do you want?’ "That doesn't matter now," 1 sak). "I can decide that after I get ov*r j '.here. How far is Caldwin from Nan- | tucket?" Brother Bill Helps. "About 30 miles. You come from the other direction from Caldwin, and it is longer." "Is there any point of junction where 1 could meet anyone coming from Caldwin and go on to Nantuck et. or are the roads entirely distinct?" He considered a minute, and stepped past me to the door. “Just a second.” he said and lifted his voice and called: "Oh. Bill! come here a mnute." "I'm pretty sure those loads meet j at Timkinsville," he turned to me. "but my brother will know exactly." "Can 1 get him to wrivo a friend and me over there in a few minutes?" . 1 asked, but Mr. Boyce had no oppor-I tunity to answer before his double—I 1 guessed his twin—appeared in the j doorway. "He'll tell you that himself." the station agent answered, and repeated my requests to his brother. "Sure thing.” Brother Bill replied. ”1 can start any minute. And Tim • inaville is your junction place, about 10 miles from here and 15 from CuUl win.” “Does either road follow the one from Caldwin here for any distance?” 1 asked and caught a. glance from one brother to the other which made me realize how wildly absurd my questions must seem to them. But there was no hint of question in Brother Bill s reply. •"\Ve go about a mile on it from here, and the other road branches directly away from Coldwin." "All right, then," I said Incisively. "Please be ready to take me hack to the Barker house and wait there un- \ til we are ready to start. And now. Mr. Boyce, please show mo the tele phone.” Worshippers Endangered When Eire Razes Church Greeley. Colo.
