My Marriage Problems Adds Garriion’i New Phaie of' '‘Revelation* of a Wife” W hat Madge Swiftly Planned and Executed. It was but a few minutes that I permitted myself the emotional outlet of rage and tears after Dicky had left me so abruptly, for the remem brance of one sentence w.hich he had uttered clung to me and steadied me in the insane resolution into which his taunts had stung me—the resolu tion to get away as far as possible from the very air he was breathing. "X will get out of here in an hour,” he had shouted, when I had answered his tirade of invective with icy, bit ter words, of which I had but the haziest memory, so blindly furious was I when I uttered them. Later they’ would fall into orderly pattern in my mind, and I would Ire ready to remember every word of them. Just now but one thing was clear to me. I must not permit Dicky to get away from the house before 1 did. I fought myself, back—not to san ity, for sanity was far from me, but to composure—and forced myself to action. I stood in the middle of the tloor for a motionless minute, while I considered ways and means. Money—I had enough in my’ purse for the immediate necessities of two or three days, and in the city’ bank of myr father’s choosing for me there was a sum. depleted it was true by the purchase of the farmhouse, but still sufficient to take care of me until I could decide my further course. I had no desire to play beyond the present hour. To get away, swiftly, secretly, this was my one obsession. Madge Confides in Katie. With a mental paean of thankful ness I remembered that the car my father had given mo stood in the driveway near the kitchen door. T had used it in the morning for an errand down the road, and had not returned it to the garage. And, ac cording to my usual methodical pro vision. it was freshly supplied with the motorist's three commandments, gas, water and oil, and had been re1 cently oiled and looked over by a competent garage man. It would tarry me across the continent if X wished. I was certain of that. I pride myself upon being a quick ! paaker, and also upon keeping mv wardrobe in order both as regards its condition and its place. Blind* folded. I am sure I could have found every article I needed, and with my eyes in use. I had my suitcase and a bag packed in record time, and my morning gown changed to by best trot teur suit. I left my hat. suit coat and mo toring coat on the bed, and with a furtive glance down the hall, seized my suitcase, bag and umbrella and stole down Jhe hack stairs to the kitchen. I listened carefully, 'and before I entered made sure there was no one save Katie in the room. “Hring Junior." My little maid’s eyes and mouth opened simultaneously, but I fore stalled any exclamation with a per emptory, whispered "Hush!” "I’ll tell you all about it in a min* ute,’’*T said. "Is there anybody down stairs or outdoors?” "Jeem. he got bahee vay out by barn, show heem peegs." Katie re joined "Eferybody else oopstairs.” I hurried out at this encouraging information, and stowed my luggage underneath the robe in the tonneau of the ear. Returning. I made a noiseless, hurried ascent to my room again, and feeling as I fancied an escaping burglar might, went down again with my purse, hat. heavy top coat and some hastily snatched note paper in my hand. I purposely had put on a sweater I often used when going in the car on one of the frequent errands to the next farm. I was successful in get ting all these things into the car without observation, and then I re turned to Katie, who had stopped all pretence of work and was gaz ing worriedly at me. "Katie, I have to go away for a little while,” I said when I came hack into the kitchen, "and I do not want anybody except you to know where I have gone. Will you keep it a secret for me?" He? eyes sparkled. "Not Meesis Underwood, not old jvomans. husband, anybody but shoost me?" she asked. "Nobody but just you.” I answered softly. "And now I want you to run out to Jim and bring Junior back with you.” The sparkle died out of my little maid's eyes. She looked at me sor rowfully. “You goin' take dot leetle boy along?” she demanded. Problems That Perplex By BEATRICE FAIRFAX The Fickle Girl. Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 have been going with a young lady for two years. I am 3S; she is 23. Every thing was tine until last August, when she wrote mo to the effect that she ha«l some unusual news for me, which she would rather tell me than write same. So when I made my call upon her, she told me that she had other company calling on her and that she wanted me to meet him and see what I thought of him. I met the gentle man the next day, but only for n short period, because of the fact that they both left me nt the house and went out. 1 have been very kind and good, to this lady, as if nothing had happened, but a week ago she told me that she loved him. but that she did not mean she would marry him. I have asked her for her hand, and fhe replied that she could not think of marriage for a long time. She told me he also had asked her to marry, and that she told him the same as she told me. RALPH. Evidently the girl is one of those girls who delight in the feeling of power and who want to enjoy the ut most freedom and independence and who will take all they can get with out making any return. Such a wo man will take advantage of your loy alty and devotion, but it will never call out any deep feeling in her. Your only chance to win her is to absent yourself. Stay away from her. If she misses you and finds that your devotion really meant anything she will send for you-. If you have not made a deep or listing impression upon her you might as well conquer your feelings, and your only chance to do this is to keep away from her and find other interests. You can erase her from your mind if you want to. The only thing is for you to— want to! The Basis cf Friendship. Dear Miss Fairfax: T am 23 and was convicted of a/i-rime of which I was later found innocent and par doned. i have met a decent girl. I grew very fond of her and she is fond of me. I wanted to offer her a friendship, hut I'm afraid to do so because of iny past record, of which she does not know. L. P. Many a man who has served a term in prison for a crime he actually committed lias come out stronger and wiser and ready to be a worthy citi zen of the world—if not of the coum try. Rut surely you. who were freed from even the charge of crime have learned a lesson which Is bound to make you a good, honest man unless >ou choose to blind yourself to the fact that the evil path is a hard and cruel one. Tell the girl the facts. A woman who does not admire and re spect you for what you have gone through and conquered isn't worth having ns a friend. Any girl who would refuse you her friendship be cause you have gone through a bit i ter test—isn't capable of giving friend ship. But whatever happens, remem iber that nothing is any real and last 1 ing use to you unless it is honestly I come by. And this applies to friend j ship and love as well as to worldly ' goods.

Y-TIME TALES THE TALE OF ISTAH MULE ^OTIj BAILEY Cl I APT nr. XXVII. Bright and Broad. Mist.ill .Mule was in the bail: pas ture. The only other farm folk there were Farmer Orten's oxen. Bright anto Broad. They were a slow going pair. , They always took pitnty of time for anything they did. They walked slow ly. they thought slowly, they talked slowly. And when they spoke, usu ally they both said ihe same thing at the same time, in a sort of deep toned chant. 'What for you scoffin’ at nu?" Mistah Mule demanded Mistah Mule was not pleased with his companions. He thought that Bright and Broad were dull company However, he had to talk with some body. for he dearly loved to wrangle So he stayed near Bright and Broad a good deal of the time. Now. Bright and Broad were far from ashamed of being slow. On the contrary, they prided themselves on their sluwnes.-. •’ ‘glow but sure' is our motto," they , remarked to Mistah Mule, speaking together and wagging their heads in exactly the same, slow fashion. "Huh!" grunted Mistah 51ule, who —when lie wasn t. in—was aiwaj ready to disagree with anybody, about anything. "You ain't so slow as what I is.” Bright and Broad looked at each other, and shook their heads. Then they burst into a rumbling laugh: "Ho! Ho! Ho." "What for you scoffin' at me?” Mistah Mule demanded. “We’ve seen you run,” they told him. "You're fast.” "Perhaps: Perhaps!" Mistah Mulo admitted. "But I kin be so slow, when I wants to be, that I doesn't move a-tall.” "Ho! Ho! Ho:-' Again the great sides of Bright and Broad heaved with laughter. "We know you're some times balky. But It’s easy to balk. A rock or a tree can do that. The ques tion is, how slowly can you walk and not come to a halt?" "Slower n what you-all kin.’" Mistah Mule retorted. "Ho! Ho! Ho! Pardon us! But we don't think so." Bright and Broad re plied. Bright winked very slowly at Broad; and Broad winked very slowly at Bright. -Mistah Mule's claim amused them. That stubborn fellow was all for settling the dispute by talk. But. Bright and Broad told him that al! the talking in the world couldn't convince them that they were wrong "There's Just one way to end the ar gument,” they told Mistah Mule. “And that is to have a slow race.” Although Mistah .Mule didn't know what they meant, he exclaimed that he was ready for anything. "I doesn't keer." he said, "v. hat kind o' race it is. I knows 1 kin win it.” fop? right 1»?J. Tomorrow—When He Starts to Kace Bright and Broad. Mistah Mule Makes r. Mistake.
